C301 (1/2)

Chu Yunge did her best to suppress his voice, so that his voice sounded as calm as water. At the same time, her eyes stared straight at Baili Lan's face that contained a sneer, trying hard to maintain her expressionless face, and continued: ”Could it be that in the entire Bright Moon Kingdom palace, there isn't a place to teach derelicts of duty? Punishment of an attendant at the side of an official in the Town Hall is indeed not appropriate.

”Princess, there's no need to worry. My Bright Moon Kingdom is vast, and I can manage subjects and even princes. It's just that today, I want to punish this person here.” Baili Lan did not budge an inch from Chu Yunge's words. She still straightened her back and elegantly sat on the dragon throne, looking down at who was kneeling on the ground.

”I'm really curious. I dare to ask, what did this kid do wrong to make the Emperor angry?” Chu Yunge did not give up and continued to strongly advise her otherwise.

”If he hadn't been secretly wandering in the imperial palace and listening in on the outside of the Town Hall, would I have had to go against a child who had such a weak crown on his head?”

Baili Lan slowly revealed the reason, ”He is Master Shang Shu's attendant, we know. If he had only made a common mistake, then it would naturally be the Minister for Education. There was no need for me to worry. However … ”He doesn't have a medallion in the palace, he is just walking away from the Minister, and he is even eavesdropping on the affairs of the court outside the Town Hall. He doesn't know the rules, he has already committed a felony!”

”Moreover, he was caught by the guards while he was eavesdropping outside the main hall. If it wasn't for the fact that he was serving with the President, he would have been charged with attempted assassination and would have been executed on the spot. To be able to see you alive in the Town Hall is already a piece of cake. ” With that, Baili Lan raised his finger slightly, and left the string of emerald orbs in his palm.

”…”

Chu Yunge did not speak. After hearing Baili Lan say that he had committed an extraordinary crime, everything was settled.

This was the palace, Baili Lan's territory.

Everyone listened to Baili Lan; they could say whatever he wanted others to say, and completely cover the sky with one hand.

It was not important whether or not he was eavesdropping outside. The important thing was that he was caught sneaking in, and Baili Lan knew that she had a good relationship with him, so he used his to threaten him.

”Why are you not saying anything? Weren't you able to argue just now?” Seeing that Chu Yunge suddenly quieted down, Baili Lan opened his mouth and asked happily.

”…” Chu Yunge remained silent.

So what if he could talk?

In the territories of others, Chu Yunge was just a dragon that had crossed the river, it was difficult to protect herself, she simply could not care about being extraordinary.

Not to mention that he had been captured by the Death Soldiers outside the Town Hall on the spot, so the crime was to secretly spy on the master's conduct and deeds, with the intent to commit immoral acts.

To put it too harshly, he had intended to assassinate his master with the intention of assassinating him. He had the suspicion that he was conspiring against him. Let alone an extraordinary person, even the Minister of State would be implicated.

Chu Yunge's heart was in a mess, she didn't even dare to look at the extraordinary scene behind her. Right now, her every word and action was being monitored by Baili Lan, and the more nervous she acted, the more pleased with herself.

”You're not talking?” The curve of Baili Lan's lips became even more beautiful, his eyes that were like torches turned his gaze away, looked at the Death Soldier beside her, and said softly: ”The servant beside the Minister of Revenue does not understand the rules, walking around randomly in the palace, should originally be severely punished. However, considering that your father was once my teacher, I can stop taking you to the Board of Justice. Just slap your lips in the Town Hall. ”

”Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Chu Yunge did not turn his head, but she heard an extraordinarily calm yet clear voice.

Chu Yunge helplessly clenched her small fists. Was this extraordinary person stupid? Baili Lan was about to be slapped, and you are thanking him! Shouldn't you kowtow and shout for the Emperor's mercy?

Weren't you able to speak for yourself in front of me? Why didn't you defend yourself against Baili Lan?

”Slap him.” Baili Lan spat out these two cruel words coldly.

The Death Soldier immediately pulled out a ruler that was about a foot long and as wide as the palm of his hand. As if it was already prepared, he aimed it at the young man's face and slapped it away.

With a ”sou” sound, the sound of the ruler piercing through the air resounded clearly in the quiet Town Hall.

Soon after, a crisp slap sounded out. Due to the clear and melodious sound, it sounded like the sound of a high-quality jade falling to the ground and breaking. The echo reverberated throughout the hall and did not disappear for a long time.

When Chu Yunge heard this voice, her body involuntarily trembled as well.

It was as if that strike had not hit her body, but her own.

After the Death Soldier used the ruler to slap his extraordinary face, his arm stopped for a moment, as if he was waiting for Baili Lan's signal.

Baili Lan who was on the dragon throne spoke out with a voice as calm as the lake, unperturbed by the situation: ”Continue.”

”Clap clap clap —”

With the emperor's order, the Death Soldier became even more unscrupulous. Raising the ruler in his hand high into the air, he swept it across the sky continuously, leaving behind a strong gust of wind that swept towards Chu Yunge's back.
