"That's…"
"Do you still have any other objection?" Long Qian Xing asked in a low tone. He looked at the officials with a calm gaze, yet a dangerous aura emanated from his body. This kind of gaze caused other people to be unwilling to get close to him.
"Which tree didn't have some bad apples falling from a good tree? Since there are some bad ones, there are naturally good ones too. Fei Yang Kingdom has decided to be open-minded and fair in its judgement. Would you be able to represent the Fei Yang Kingdom with your words?" Long Qian Xing asked in a low voice.
Even though he was only 18 years old, the aura around her was truly not one to be trifled with. Those who looked at him were holding their breath. They were all afraid of this seemingly ordinary youth.
He was supposed to be only a mere young commander.
Yet, the pressure he exuded didn't lose even compared to the Emperor or even those generals.
"Yes, I mean no." the official lowered his head.
Long Qian Xing stared at him then swept his gaze across the hall as if asking if other people still had some objection. If they still had one, they could raise it to him because he would be ready to answer it all.
Beside Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua watched his action and blinked her clear eyes. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she decided not to. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
It was weird.
She didn't have any problem when she was asking questions of others, but she didn't seem to be able to speak about this to Long Qian Xing? His action confused her. His gaze made her feel strange.
Nan Hua didn't know what she should think of her fiancé.
"Since there's no other objection, I'll leave first." Old Master Nan cupped his fist. He felt really tired of this farce and drama in front of him. Perhaps he would have been calmer if he could forget the blood connection between him and Nan Shu Cheng.
But Old Master Nan knew that it was impossible. How could he possibly erase those decades when he was with his son and had high expectations of that brat?
Only for him to trample everything on the ground.
At this moment, Old Master Nan just wanted to forget everything. He couldn't control his son's actions and could only try his best to put him on the right path. Now that his son had passed away, Old Master Nan didn't know what he should feel anymore.
Happy?
He couldn't be happy that his only son had died.
Sad?
He couldn't be completely sad because of what his son had done to his daughter in law and also his grandchildren.
Thus, Old Master Nan was still in this complicated mood.
But even with those thoughts swirling inside his mind, Old Master Nan kept his etiquette as he said to the Emperor, "This subject thanks Your Majesty for your benevolence."
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and waved his hand. He looked at the departing back of the two people before dismissing the others. He would naturally restore Old Master Nan's title when there was a chance.
He never had any intention of punishing the twins and him.
But in front of other officials, he still had to put on a show as if he was giving them some punishment in exchange for their lives. It was in order to show that the Emperor was impartial.
In the first place, it was impossible for a human to be completely impartial.
After all, they were all human beings with emotions and also personal judgement. They were not just objects that could fully judge everything as the outsiders.
Emperor Yang Zhou himself had long become part of the Imperial Family and didn't have much emotion. But even if it was not much, it was still there, affecting him from time to time.
However, trying to do things as impartial as possible was still necessary.
This was only the beginning.
There might be more cases in the future that Emperor Yang Zhou had to face.
The officials, guards, and others slowly walked out of the bloody hall. The servants were busy cleaning up everything while Emperor Yang Zhou sat there, watching them. With the emperor watching them, these servants felt nervous and their movements become faster.
