C46 (1/2)

Nangong Zhen raised his hand, signaling for the ministers to quiet down. Immediately, the hall became silent.

He clasped his hands together and said to Nangong Xiao, who was on the dragon throne in front, ”Father, please punish Princess Lin and rouse our army. We will definitely win this battle.”

”Southern Water Country will definitely win.”

”If we kill Princess Lin, the Southern Water Country will win for sure.” No one knew when, but the officials had already set their hearts on it.

Nangong Xiao had never seen the ministers act in unison before, so he had no choice but to seriously consider how to resolve the matter.

On the other side, Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin appeared abnormally calm as they competed with the other ministers.

This abnormal calmness caused a bad feeling to arise in Liu Zhitian's heart.

He frowned slightly and looked at Nangong Zhen, who was beside him. He wanted to delay this action for a while.

However, Nangong Zhen ignored the cowering Liu Zhitian and completely ignored him. He continued his next plan and gave a signal to the guards beside him.

Immediately, another soldier rushed into the main hall. He was panting heavily and was sweating profusely as he knelt on the ground.

”Your Majesty, the border is in an emergency. Please send reinforcements.” At the command of the general, the soldiers came back swiftly on horseback.

”Imperial Father, please punish Princess Lin immediately. Only by making everyone submit will we be able to rouse our morale.” Nangong Zhen half-knelt down to pressure Nangong Xiao.

Liu Zhitian stood at the side and shot an angry glance at Nangong Zhen. He knew that Nangong Zhen would not obediently cooperate. He would listen to all of Nangong Zhen's commands.

When this matter was over, he wanted Nangong Zhen to see the consequences of acting so recklessly.

”Your majesty, if this continues, the border won't be able to hold on.” At this point, Liu Zhitian could only stand on Nangong Zhen's side.

Nangong Xiao understood that the situation in front of them was already very serious. If they did not deal with Yan Xiaoxi, Liu Zhitian would not go to the border to support them. The Southern Water Country would be in danger.

”Men! Arrest Princess Lin and Liu Peng and throw them into the prison.” After some consideration, Nangong Zhen quickly came up with an answer.

”Halt.” After reprimanding him, she repressed the guards who were about to rush forward.

”Impudent, Lin'er wants to rebel?” Nangong Zhen knew that he could not tolerate Nangong Lin at this moment. If he was allowed to act recklessly, he would lose the entire Southern Water Country.

”This son doesn't dare.” Nangong Lin slightly bowed and replied.

”For this matter, I will give the entire world an explanation. Does Ling'er understand?” Nangong Zhen thoughtfully looked at Nangong Lin, hoping that he would understand his own painstaking efforts.

Nangong Lin, who was extremely intelligent, naturally understood Nangong Zhen's decision. However, he could not allow Yan Xiaoxi to be taken away from him just like that.

”What are you standing there for? ”Pull it down.” Nangong Zhen shouted at the guards.

The guards were startled and immediately rushed to Yan Xiaoxi's side, grabbing her arms.

”Wait.” Nangong Lin walked out and stood beside Yan Xiaoxi.

Nangong Zhen smiled sinisterly. This was exactly the result he wanted to see.

Nangong Lin was so angry that he turned into a beauty. To rebel in front of everyone, this was a crime that would last for thousands of years.

”Lin'er?” Nangong Xiao's tone was ice-cold and her expression was as cold as ice. It was clear how angry she was at Nangong Lin's actions.

In the face of a great enemy, he still had the mood to estimate the affection between his children. This made Nangong Xiao involuntarily feel somewhat disappointed in him.

Nangong Lin stood in front of Yan Xiaoxi and said to her with his clear gaze, ”I will send someone to prepare some good food for you.”

Yan Xiaoxi nodded and smiled innocently, ”Alright.”

The two of them looked at each other and nothing was said.

Nangong Lin signaled the guard with his eyes. The guard understood and immediately left with Yan Xiaoxi.
