She shook her head and faced the elder's stern gaze. First they met with angry eyes, and then she suddenly smiled so hard that her eyebrows were crooked: "Old man, you don't have to speak so loudly. I'm not as old as you.
So if you don’t have a hearing problem, you can speak softly. [ ]”
Regarding her playful smile, the elder was speechless for a moment.
Because I have never encountered such a...joke. Normally, as long as he keeps a straight face, everyone in the palace, from the ministers to the servants, will be shocked by his majesty. How can he laugh at him with such a smile?
.
Seeing the surprised expression on the elder's face, who was obviously a little stunned by Ke'er, Ao Chenye's initially worried mood relaxed.
His thin lips curled up slightly, feeling relieved that she had frightened the elder into forgetting how to speak.
Haha, she was indeed the woman that Ao Chenye fell in love with.
He decided not to interfere for the time being, and spent his free time watching the old man and the young man at the foot of the steps, as if they were watching a show.
After a moment of shock, the elder quickly returned to normal.
He felt that Ke'er was even more out of my kind. He stared at her innocent smiling face with surprised eyes, and then he was a little angry that she was not serious.
So, he simply made it clear: "Miss Bai, you are a human being and do not belong here. Staying here will only bring disaster..."
Before the elder finished speaking, Ke'er interrupted him with a disapproving voice——
"Oh? I will bring harm? This doesn't seem to be very convincing. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you have to show the real story before you judge others. However, it seems that so far I have not
What have you done to harm your Tenglong Kingdom, but you have grown up instead..."
She deliberately dragged her voice to the end and stopped talking. Her eyes when looking at the elder became somewhat alluding to something, as if she had grasped the elder's leverage.
Listening to her words and looking at her eyes, the elder felt as if she had made a mistake and was caught by her, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
He frowned, with a serious face, and carefully explored the strange meaning in Ke'er's eyes.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore: "Miss Bai, what on earth do you want to say? What happened to me instead?"
Seeing him asking uneasily, Ke'er's bright eyes flashed with a cunning glint.
Haha, he asked this himself, so don't blame her for answering clearly.
Ke'er deliberately shook her head and looked him up and down, then the old god walked around the elder with his hands behind his back, and occasionally sighed helplessly.
Her procrastinating gesture made Ao Chenye extremely curious.
What problems has this little girl come up with to deal with the elders?
Haha, he was really looking forward to it.
The elder was a little worried because of her wise way of shaking her head and sighing.
As if...he really did something wrong?
Humph! He didn’t believe what an ordinary little human girl could do to him?!
However, the elder felt displeased when she looked at him like this.
How presumptuous!
"Miss Bai, I advise you not to act mysterious here. If you are deliberately delaying time to find a way to deal with me, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Your strength alone will not pose any threat to me!"
The elder shook his robe sleeves unhappily, and his gray beard twitched because he was unhappy with Ke'er's pretentiousness. His sharp old eyes met Ke'er's still looking at him with disdain.
At this time, Ke'er's footsteps stopped and just walked back to the front of the elder.
Her smile was brighter than before, and her eyes were sparkling, full of cunning wisdom.
"Elder, what you said is very contradictory to what you said before. Didn't you say before that I would harm your Tenglong Kingdom? Now you say that I am unable to deal with you. According to what you said, I can't even deal with you. I still can't deal with you."
If you can't deal with Tenglong Kingdom or Ao Chenye, do you mean that you are much more powerful than the king Ao Chenye?"
Hearing this, Ao Chenye, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, suppressed his laughter, but the corners of his lips could not help but rise.
This little girl is actually digging a trap for the elder to jump into. She is really hers, but to make the elder feel so defeated, he is really... happy to cooperate with her.
After listening to her reasonable inference, the elder looked at Ao Chenye, ashamed of his words. Seeing him looking at him seriously, the elder panicked: "Wang, I definitely didn't mean that!"
Before Ao Chenye could respond, Ke'er jumped in and said, "Elder, you just clearly felt that Ao Chenye was inferior to you! Why didn't you acknowledge what the dignified elder said?"
She shook her head again deliberately, expressing that she was surprised and disappointed that the elder had gone back on his word.
The elder blushed and his neck was rough because of her, but he couldn't find the words to argue.
In the end, he could only stare at her with his neck stiffened, a little speechless——
"You...I never said that!"
Ke'er shrugged: "Since you don't admit it, there's nothing I can do about it, but everyone present can hear it."
"You..." The elder was so angry that she was speechless.
"Me? What's wrong with me, oh! What's more, I haven't finished speaking yet. You keep emphasizing that I will harm Tenglong Country. Do you have any evidence?"
Ke'er asked with a smile, a leisurely and leisurely glint in her clear eyes, looking at the elder openly, waiting to see how he would answer.
At this time, the elder was stopped by her question again, staring and speechless.
He just found out that she was a human being today. He didn't have time to investigate anything and where was the evidence? He only knew that she couldn't stay in this palace!
Seeing that he was speechless, Ke'er's smile became even brighter.
She calmly glanced at Ao Chenye, and when she saw him looking at her with interest, she wrinkled her nose at him to show that she was also dissatisfied with him.
However, she has more important things to do now, and she will settle the debt with him later.
"Well, elder, since you can't produce any evidence about me, without evidence, it means you can't prove my guilt. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"
Ao Chen Ye secretly praised her, but on the surface, he said with the fairness and justice of a king: "That's true. The laws of our Tenglong Kingdom have always been fair and strict. We will not wrongly judge anyone, nor will we judge anyone for anything."
Let anyone go because of their status."
After hearing this, Ke'er raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction and turned her gaze back to the elder's face. She felt extremely happy when she saw the look on his face.
However, it’s not over yet!
She pretended not to believe it and looked at the elder with questioning eyes: "The king said that the laws of Tenglong Kingdom are fair and strict. Elder, what do you think?"
Hehe, as long as he admits it, then she is not guilty and his accusation is not established. If he doesn't admit it... then he is openly rebelling against Ao Chenye!
The elder naturally saw the clues in this, but he had no way of choosing an answer.
Moreover, he could not allow the legal majesty of Tenglong Country to be challenged at all.
"...The laws of our country are naturally fair and strict!" In the end, the elder could only reply with a serious face.
Ke'er pretended to be thoughtful and nodded, looking very cautious: "Yes, yes. In this case, if you are at fault, you should be punished. Dear elder, you will be punished now!"
At the end of the sentence, her cunning eyes blinked open, looking at the elder helplessly and apologetically.
The three men and one eunuch present were all stunned by her words.
The elder glared at her angrily: "How outrageous! You actually spoke to me like that?!"
He dared to say that he would be punished. He was an elder of two dynasties in Tenglong Kingdom. Even the king would respect him. This little human actually...
He was so angry that he was breathing heavily and his chest was heaving.
Ke'er said innocently: "I don't want to talk like that, but I have seen evidence that the elder made a mistake, so there is nothing we can do about it."
"What evidence?"
This question was mixed with the voices of three men except Dequan.
Ke'er smiled mysteriously, and then under the elder's uneasy gaze, she helplessly and innocently told the "evidence" that made everyone curious——
"Elder, weren't you called by Dequan to meet Concubine Xun privately this morning? Dequan can testify. Later, you stood in line with Concubine Xun and spoke ill of me, an innocent person. It was obviously with Concubine Xun that you were on the same page.
Concubine Xun... ahem, she is suspected of being an accomplice. Now that Concubine Xun has been proven guilty of treason, then Elder... aren't you also suspected of harming the Tenglong Kingdom! And there are witnesses!"
Her voice suddenly became more serious, and her slender finger pointed at the elder with the power of proof.
Hey, look how arrogant he is to her now!
The elder's face turned green and white. He was angry and a little impetuous and denied several times: "Nonsense, I am loyal to the Tenglong Kingdom. I met Concubine Xun just because I didn't know about her before..."
"Alas! Then who knows whether you know or don't know? What evidence do you have to prove that you don't know?!" Ke'er spoke like a judge, sharply interrupting the elder's argument.
Humph, he accused her of being a disaster without any evidence, and now she has the evidence to catch him!
Then, she looked at Ao Chenye with impartiality and support, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, don't you also know that the elder wants to meet Concubine Xun privately? You can also bear witness."
However, this time, Ao Chenye frowned without cooperating with her.
This little woman played so thoroughly.
Really...
He became a little embarrassed.
You can't say that he is a witness. This would not be good for the elder. However, her statement... is difficult to deny.
What a tricky girl, she actually gave him such a difficult problem.
"If you don't speak, it means you acquiesce. Well, elder, even your king thinks my words are correct!"
