Emperor Beili continued to look at her, his previous anger seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and he smiled kindly: "I never thought that the fat girl back then would grow up to be like this. Good, good."
Such praise and gazes made Xiang Minghou, Chen Lao, Qian Fanji, Gu Shuo, Sang Bai, Sang Qi, and Sang Zhi all pause. Although their gazes towards Bei Li were different, they all had one thing in common: anger.
Men know men best. There is no need to show the surprise and greed in his eyes too obviously, and everyone knows his intentions.
Prime Minister Gao’s old face froze. Seeing the emperor like this... ?
I just thought this person was a fake, but now I am 80% convinced that the person in front of me is Ye Qianning, the natural nemesis of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The civil and military officials had been in court for quite some time, and the emperor's behavior... all of them lowered their eyes, their gazes shifting, and they couldn't help but have many guesses in their minds.
Prince Changyang and Prince Helian looked at each other with stern faces, their brows furrowed so much that they could almost pinch a fly to death.
Ye Qianning didn't care at all, and a smile appeared on his cold face.
This smile made everyone who had just come back to their senses stunned again, their eyes dazed.
Sang Shu was forced to her knees, but she started to moan wildly. She struggled to break free from the guards, ripped open the cloth that was blocking her mouth, and rushed towards Ye Qianning frantically: "I will kill you, kill you..."
The shrill sound woke everyone up.
Sang Shu went crazy, with jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and rushed forward recklessly.
But before she could run to Ye Qianning, she was kicked out by Luo Wen and fell heavily to the ground.
Xu Hongwen also reacted and struggled even harder.
"puff"
Sang Shu spat out a mouthful of blood and was restrained by the guards again.
"The current princess has failed in assassination attempts many times and now commits a crime in public again. Beili is really well-educated." The cold voice was filled with some sarcasm.
Emperor Beili's face instantly turned pale, and he turned around and shouted angrily: "Take the Fifth Princess away."
Just as the guards were dragging Sang Shu to move, Ye Qianning spoke again: "I'm curious about how the emperor intends to punish you."
When Emperor Beili looked at Ye Qianning again, his previous enthusiasm faded. He pondered for a moment before saying, "From now on, your title of princess will be stripped away, you will be severely punished with thirty lashes of the cane, and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Although she was no longer valuable, Emperor Beili still wanted to spare her life.
"No wonder the Fifth Princess dared to commit murder in public." Ye Qianning's cold eyes were tinged with respect. "Although we are not as good as envoys from other countries, we are also invited by the Northern Emperor's imperial decree. Not only were we refused entry at the city gate, but we were also repeatedly assassinated. The crimes we committed were not punishable by death. The laws of the Northern Li are truly admirable."
Every sentence is serious and every word is respectful.
The sound was so pleasant that it fell into everyone's ears, and it was hard to understand for a moment.
Emperor Beili frowned slightly, overwhelmed by the sudden change.
"Although the laws of Beili are lenient, I am not lenient. I will not let anyone who wants to kill me have an easy time." Ye Qianning was still cold and his voice was light, and no trace of ruthlessness could be heard by others.
"What do you want?" asked Emperor Beili.
"She closed the city gates tightly before, but now I want her to kneel down and kowtow to us to let us in."
After Ye Qianning finished speaking, he was satisfied to see the shock on everyone's faces, especially the face of Emperor Bei Li, whose old face trembled a few times.
There were huge crowds of people at the city gate, but it was extremely quiet at this moment.
Sang Shu was so shocked that she almost went crazy, but the guards were smart and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free.
