92 Suffering (1/2)

This was the first time Prince Xi had suffered such a crushing defeat after spending so many years in the Imperial Court.

If looks could kill, the monarch would have burnt to ash and entered the reincarnation cycle by now.

Su Li slowly coaxed, ”How about we end the assembly for now? Imperial Brother, you go back to your estate and take some rest.”

She had simply said those words to end the assembly at a good point where neither of them had to lose too much but sadly our heroine forgot that these are ancient times.

In this period, people were never straightforward and their words would take eight turns and eighteen curves to convey the meaning.

Hence, His Majesty was once again misunderstood by everyone present in the audience hall.

They thought that the monarch had spared the imperial officials for today's infraction and simply passed down his judgment on the perpetrator of the entire debacle.

When Su Li saw that instead of backing down, the other person was staring daggers at her, she thought that it was simply him being not reconciled with the outcome of the play he must have racked his brains to play out today.

With a raised eyebrow she asked, ”Imperial Brother has something else to say to Zhen?”

Meanwhile, Prince Xi felt unwillingness in his heart.

He wanted to retort, but he couldn't.

After all, it was his bad luck to be the inferior one as his brother had pointed out.

He once again kowtowed to the monarch and simply said, ”This servant will follow Your Majesty's words.”

In the end, the morning court assembly ended with a defeat for Prince Xi, a win for the monarch and nothing worth gossip was seen by the members of the peanut gallery.

Afterwards, Su Li called for Zhou Sheng and Ning Fu to the Imperial Study for an audience one by one.

As soon as Zhou Sheng entered the study, he saw Princess looking at him with an expression of someone who believed that they had done a good job and were now waiting impatiently to be praised and rewarded. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

She really was akin to a small, pampered girl.

Still, he didn't have the heart to take off her blinders and simply said, ”Good job.”

Su Li laughed uproariously at his words.
