Chapter 351: No One Has Special Privileges in Front of Me!
Yan Hongzhi entered the hall with nervousness and excitement.
After greeting Donghuang Ziyou, he told her the entire story.
Things were very simple.
Today, E Yang brought people to the most unique restaurant in Dongqing Kingdom to drink. When he entered, he happened to be bumped by the people under the crown prince of Dongqing, Yan Yuqi.
E Yang was very angry and beat that person up on the spot.!!
Later on, when he thought about how it wasn’t satisfying enough, he even asked that person to call his master, Yan Yuqi, over to apologize.
After Yan Yuqi arrived and found out that E Yang was the son of the chief military advisor, he was instantly frightened and apologized to E Yang repeatedly.
Because E Yang had drunk a few pots of wine, when he saw Yan Yuqi apologizing so humbly, he felt playful and wanted to tease Yan Yuqi, so he asked him to lie on the ground and bark.
As the crown prince of a country, how could Yan Yuqi endure such humiliation? Therefore, he publicly reprimanded E Yang for being arrogant and bullying others.
E Yang was enraged when he heard that. Under the influence of alcohol, he punched Yan Yuqi’s chest.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuqi was born with a heart disease and this punch killed him.
“Lord E’s son is oppressing others with his power. Your Majesty, please help me uphold justice!”
Yan Hongzhi kowtowed with tears in his eyes.
Donghuang Ziyou looked at E Yang. “Is what the king of Dongqing said true?”
E Yang’s heart skipped a beat under Donghuang Ziyou’s pressure. He subconsciously said, “Yes!”
Er Qing hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Your Majesty, this is clearly a misunderstanding. Furthermore, it was an accident and E Yang didn’t mean to kill the crown prince.”
“Please, Your Majesty…”
Donghuang Ziyou raised her fair hand and interrupted him. “I’m just asking if there’s such a thing.”
Er Qing glanced at E Yang and lowered his head. “Yes!”
Donghuang Ziyou’s voice was clear and lingered in the hall.
“Now, all the laws in Dongyuan Heaven are executed according to North Mystic Heaven’s.”
“And according to the North Mystic Heaven’s criminal law, although E Yang killed someone by mistake, his crime is unforgivable. According to the law, he will be flogged eight hundred times and exiled to the border. He won’t be allowed to return for fifty years!”
Hiss ~
When they heard this, Er Qing and the other ministers of Dongyuan Heaven were shocked.
If he was sent away after being flogged 800 times, this punishment would completely cripple E Yang!
E Yang’s legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. “Your Majesty, please spare my life!”
Er Qing hurriedly said, “Please let my son off, Your Majesty. He just made a mistake. He shouldn’t be punished like this!”
Seeing that Er Qing was kneeling on the ground and pleading for mercy, the group of Dongyuan Heaven officials looked at each other and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
“Your Majesty, please withdraw!”
“The chief military advisor is an elder of the fifth dynasty. He has worked hard and has contributed greatly. Please reduce his punishment, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, the situation in Dongyuan Heaven has just stabilized, and we need Lord E. Please reconsider!”
…
A group of Dongyuan Heaven’s old officials pressured Donghuang Ziyou in the open and in the dark since they were afraid that she would really attack E Yang.
Once E Yang was crippled, Er Qing would also be suppressed.
They would really be unable to do anything in the future.
Minister Zhao Si went forward and berated,
“Her Majesty is strict and fair. How can she change the Holy Decree just because of you?”
“You all think that the chief military officer has a prominent identity and his son is above the law, but do you know that a general with outstanding military achievements in North Mystic Heaven was removed from his position and investigated by Her Majesty because he insulted a woman after drinking?!”
“The deputy manager of the internal affairs of the third dynasty was killed by Her Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials. What right do you have to ask Her Majesty to show mercy to E Yang?”
Hiss ~
Er Qing and the others were shocked again.
They had only heard that Empress Mystic Ice was fair, strict, and unyielding.
Unexpectedly, she was actually so domineering. Whether one was a meritorious subject or not, as long as one broke the law, one would be severely punished.
“We’re doomed. We’ve really encountered a hurdle we can’t overcome this time!”
Even the five dynasties’ Grand Councilor, Er Qing, couldn’t help but cry out in sorrow.
Donghuang Ziyou stood up from the throne and placed one hand behind her back as she looked down at the officials.
“I have a sentence for you. I hope you will remember it. It is…”
“An emperor who commits a crime will be punished the same way as commoners!”
“In front of me, as long as you break the law, no one has special privileges!”
Hearing Donghuang Ziyou’s domineering words, Er Qing and the others trembled slightly.
A huge mountain seemed to be pressing down on their heads, covering the sky and sun, making them dare not to be impudent anymore.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
“We will remember Your Majesty’s teachings!”
…
Xuan Zhu and the others were very happy in the Dark Saint Sect.
It was only late at night that Lin Xuan brought them back to the Crystal Palace.
He saw that the little girls were all extremely tired.
Lin Xuan carried them to the room specifically for washing up and let them sit on the small stool together.
“Babies, take off your socks. Daddy will wash your feet first before washing your faces and rinsing your mouths so you girls can go to sleep.”
Lin Xuan turned around with a doting expression, then took out the brocade jade basin and Yun Rou’s cotton towel that the little girls used to wash their feet.
“Got it, Father!”
The little girls replied obediently.
After Lin Xuan helped them fill the water, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was especially quiet.
He turned around and saw that the four little girls were actually sitting there and snoring.
Xuan Zhu nodded first, then Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You nodded one after another.
The four little girls seemed as if they had agreed upon it.
It was rhythmic and amusing.
Lin Xuan saw that they were all barefooted, with four pairs of fair and tender feet hanging there like four pairs of cute little white rabbits.
“Fortunately, these babies have already taken off their socks.”
Lin Xuan then shook his head and smiled.
Children were like this. They fell asleep immediately. He couldn’t bear to wake them up again.
So he carried the jade basin to Xuan Zhu and planned to help them wash their feet before carrying them to the bed.
Unexpectedly, just as he placed Xuan Zhu’s feet in the basin, the little girl woke up a little.
“Huh?”
The little girl called out in confusion.
Xuan Xi and the others were startled when they heard Xuan Zhu’s cry.
Xuan Xi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xuan Han asked, “Is it dawn?”
Xuan You asked, “Was it thunder?”
After saying that, the four little girls quickly fell asleep again.
Seeing how ignorant and cute they were, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but kiss each of their little faces.
Then, he tried his best to reduce his movements and quickly washed their feet before carrying them to the bed.
Under the dark night sky, four chubby and cute little faces were like four little angels that emitted an adorably innocent look.
Lin Xuan sat by the bed and watched for a long time. Only after confirming that the little girls were asleep did he gently stand up.
“Babies, Daddy won’t be able to accompany you guys tonight.”
Lin Xuan thought to himself and casually created a soundproof and extremely defensive formation to protect the bed.
Then, he turned into a white light and disappeared before heading to the Heavenly Demon Realm with thunderous momentum.
