"Princess Consort, don't push your luck." Councilor Shui tried several times to get up from the ground, but her knees felt like they weighed a ton, and her mental energy was in disarray. The collapse of her genes made her tremble all over: "You're threatening us, and you're breaking the law too!"
"Am I going too far? Am I breaking the law?" Jiang Si raised her eyelids and looked at the water council member: "You guys really can't sleep well and blame the bed for being crooked. You never take a picture and you think it's nice."
"you…"
"What do you mean, 'I'? I'm young and beautiful. It's you guys who are old and should be enjoying your retirement. Instead of standing around doing nothing and not making room for young people."
“Young man, are you just an ordinary person without superpowers or mental abilities?” Councilor Shui questioned. “In recent years, the status of lowly, lowly ordinary people without superpowers has risen dramatically, which is the Empire’s fault.”
"Now, the Princess Consort is telling us old folks to enjoy our retirement. We want to enjoy our retirement, we want to go home, we want to enjoy our retirement, but can we even manage to do that?"
"The Troia Empire, which our ancestors conquered, originally had 15 star systems, but now it only has 10. Its population was originally as high as 10 billion, but now it only has 3 billion."
"The sharp decline in population and the decrease in the number of people with superpowers—your Majesty, Marshal Agares, and the Empress—instead of reflecting on this, you still help those lowly common people, allowing them to live in the Troia Empire as equals with people with superpowers. Don't Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Marshal know that this is unfair?"
Agares blinked his dark eyes, his demeanor calm and composed, his voice as deep as ever: "Everyone is equal before the law. Your Majesty is subject to the same punishment as any citizen for breaking the law!"
Leilos continued, "Ordinary people are also citizens of my Troya Empire. We cannot eliminate them just because they do not have superpowers. This is something our ancestors would not have wanted to see."
Bo Jichen's voice, disguised as that of a mature woman, rang out: "According to the Supreme Court's revised laws, nobles no longer have special privileges. Nobles cannot use old traditions to think that ordinary people are trash and deserve to die. This is illegal, Councilor Shui."
"Illegal?" Councilor Shui pointed at Jiang Si, who was squatting in front of Old Hu, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "To put it simply, it's because the Princess Consort is an ordinary person with no special abilities and is physically useless. She's the kind of useless person that anyone could crush with a single finger. That's why His Majesty has increased his favor towards ordinary people."
"Let me guess, is it because His Majesty used his privilege to grant a marriage to Marshal Agares, who has no fertility potential, in order to compensate for the lack of a princess and thus improve the treatment of ordinary people, right?"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Oh my!
Others said she was taking advantage of her age, but she was skeptical.
Now she believes it.
Look at this water council member, her face is full of wrinkles, her hair is white, she looks old and frail, she's wearing makeup and lipstick, and relying on her age, she not only criticized His Majesty's brother, Bo Jichen, but also brought up Agares's fertility value.
never mind.
It's not her fault.
Sigh, these young people are bound to make mistakes.
The only thing we can do is let this 3,000-year-old relic teach these insignificant juniors a lesson.
"Are you saying I'm a good-for-nothing?" Jiang Si reached out and grabbed the finger that the water council member was pointing at her with: "Again you question His Majesty, question the Empress, huh?"
The water council member's cloudy old woman's eyes met hers, and her pupils involuntarily constricted. A chill spread from her fingers to her body: "You..."
She opened her mouth, but could only utter the word "you," and couldn't make any other sounds.
Immediately afterwards, the coolness from her fingers spread to her limbs and bones, entered her blood, her heart, her brain, and every corner of her body.
She felt as if she were frozen in ice, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar. She couldn't muster any supernatural abilities to resist the chill, and she grew colder and colder.
Her teeth chattered and her whole body trembled.
Jiang Si loosened his grip.
The water council member fell heavily to the ground, and with a crack, the sound of bones breaking rang out.
Jiang Si feigned fear and surprise, quickly raising her hands in a gesture of surrender to Old Hu and the others, saying, "I just shook her hand, you saw it. She fell down on her own and broke her bone. It has nothing to do with me."
"You absolutely must prove me wrong, you can't let her try to scam me. After all, I'm just a useless person, I'm so scared."
Old Hu and the others looked at the Water Conference Member who had fallen to the ground. Besides the sound of bones breaking just now, there was another sound of bones breaking.
The sound was crisp and clear, echoing throughout the hall, making them feel as if they were enveloped by an unknown and immense aura.
“And you, Old Hu.” Jiang Si extended her hand to him with particular enthusiasm: “If you don’t want to kneel, then don’t kneel. Get up, I’ll help you up.”
She stretched out her hand in front of Old Hu, who dared not help her, but the strange pain in his knee disappeared, and he seemed to have gained infinite strength.
This realization filled him with joy and elation, allowing him to stand up without any assistance, his youthful face beaming with smiles.
But the smile didn't last three seconds before he reached out and clutched his head, his knees slamming heavily to the ground again. His head throbbed with pain, causing him to scream in agony.
Amidst Old Hu's screams, Jiang Si glanced sideways at another old woman. She didn't move, just gave her a cold sidelong look, and the woman clutched her arm, her face contorted in pain.
Then an old man was pounding his chest hard with his hands, struggling to breathe, his eyes rolling back in his head. Someone else was hugging his legs and pounding on them, as if they wanted to cut them off with a knife.
In short, the 10 old men and women were wailing in the hall, while the 6 beautiful women who wanted to marry His Majesty were huddled together and trembling with fear.
Jiang Si walked lightly to His Majesty and Bo Jichen. She took out the candied hawthorns she had made from her spatial button, and gave ten of each kind to her brother His Majesty. She smiled brightly and innocently: "Brother His Majesty, you have to eat something to watch the performance, otherwise you won't have any energy."
Bo Jichen gave her a thumbs up. This was definitely his own daughter, with formidable fighting power. It was truly a case of Agares marrying above his station.
Leilos smiled elegantly and gracefully: "Thank you, Little Sisi!"
"You're welcome." Jiang Si, holding a lemon candied hawthorn in her hand, returned to her chair, sat down, and took a bite.
Agareth glanced at her sideways, his throat bobbing... watching her gnaw on a lemon... sour...
As Jiang Si took her second bite, she noticed Agares looking at her, and promptly handed him the lemon candied hawthorn: "Honey, have some..."
Agares stared at the lemon candied hawthorn that was being handed to him, now missing two bites. His throat moved again, and his thin lips parted slightly, about to speak. But then, the Water Councilor, whose hand, leg, and rib bones were broken, could speak and immediately begged for mercy: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, spare my life, spare my life!"
