Although Suman's argument was well-founded, the marshal was obviously very dissatisfied with Suman's statement.
"Your Majesty, if this is your Majesty's family affair, I shouldn't have interfered. It's just that I spoiled my grandson. If he does anything wrong, it's also your fault, so Your Majesty should punish me as well."
Although the words were spoken humbly, the Marshal's expression said otherwise.
It was obvious that she was fearless, relying on her great military achievements for the court and the fact that she held the military command. Su Man would not punish her for such a small matter, so she said this on purpose.
"The Marshal is joking."
Su Man's smile didn't reach her eyes. "Since Xiang Ying has entered the palace, she is naturally a member of the royal family. If Xiang Ying has caused trouble, it is because I didn't remind her. Since the Marshal is distressed, then the house arrest order should be lifted."
Although Su Man had already conceded, the Marshal still felt it was not enough. "Xiang Ying has always been strong-willed. He was demoted right after entering the palace. I'm afraid if he makes a scene, both this old minister and Your Majesty will lose face."
"So what does the Marshal mean?"
"Why not just avoid the demotion and punish him with something else."
Su Man smiled, "What the Marshal said is not impossible."
Just as the Marshal was about to express his gratitude, Su Man changed the subject, "It's just that I already wanted to promote him to the rank of Imperial Noble, but unfortunately, he's still young, so I have to give up. If I let him off so easily now, I'm afraid that when he really takes power, everyone in the harem will be dissatisfied. So, for the sake of the future, please be patient, Marshal."
"Your Majesty?"
The marshal ventured, "Your Majesty is serious."
"Of course." Su Man agreed without hesitation. "If it wasn't Xiang Ying, who else could be worthy of this title?"
When the marshal heard this, his face lit up with joy. After all, compared to the title of a king, being a royal king with real power is more attractive.
"Then I'll trouble your majesty to take care of it. I will take my leave first."
"Well, take care, Marshal."
Su Man looked at the marshal with a deep gaze as he walked out of the hall step by step.
