Xuanyuan Xu's roar alerted the guards who were waiting outside the door. They all drew their swords and surrounded Bai Xi and Zhou Yuyan.
"If I really want to take someone, do you think you can stop me?"
Su Huan'er waved her hand, signaling Bai Xi to let her go. She felt a little tired, so she just let it go. She didn't have that much energy to deal with this stupid woman now, and when Mei Chen came back, she wouldn't let her go.
"Huan'er, she is the princess of Zhou after all..."
It was rare for Xuanyuan Rui to plead for a woman. Now he needed Zhou Guo's help, so he had to find a way to keep Zhou Yuyan. After everything was over, with Zhou Yuyan's abuse of Huan'er this time, she would definitely not be able to
A way to survive.
"When did the prince become so kind? Did he also fall in love with the princess of Zhou Kingdom?"
Su Huan'er raised a sarcastic smile and looked at Xuanyuan Rui as coldly as if she were looking at a stranger. When Xuanyuan Rui looked at her like this, his heart suddenly tightened.
"Huan'er, don't talk nonsense."
He could only move his lips nervously, trying to clarify his relationship with Zhou Yuyan. If he had fallen in love with this woman, he would have asked his father to marry him long ago. How could he let her chase after Xuanyuan Qi.
"Xuanyuan Xu, what do you want to do with my father?"
Su Huan'er didn't say anything. She looked at Xuanyuan Xu who looked furious and sneered several times in her heart. He must have been in trouble because of this. He wanted to take advantage of his father and didn't want anything to happen to him, but he had to worry about Zhou Guo.
, after all, Xia State now needs help from Zhou State.
"What do you think, dear friends?"
Xuanyuan Xu changed the topic and wanted to hear the opinions of the ministers. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several old ministers looking at each other, all with embarrassment on their faces.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su did indeed kill the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom. According to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, his crime should be executed."
General Zuo's words were very direct, just like his character. His face was gloomy, and it seemed that he and Su Tai had been feuding for a long time.
"Your Majesty, what General Zuo said is right, but Prime Minister Su is a meritorious minister of the Xia State, and this mistake was unintentional. Besides, the people of the Zhou State were also at fault in this matter. Therefore, Prime Minister Su can be given a lighter sentence.
Not to death."
Taifu Li stood up. Although he didn't have much communication with Su Tai on weekdays, what Princess Zhou did was really too much. If he were someone who insulted his daughter like this, he would definitely not do anything about it.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward and fought with that person.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Since the state-owned legal family has family rules, it must be followed by the rules. The princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people, and Prime Minister Su is no exception. Your Majesty, I agree with General Zuo's opinion."
Cui Shangshu also stood up and gave Li Taifu a very dissatisfied look. He and General Zuo had the same opinion because their daughters had died inexplicably in the hands of Xuanyuan Qi. Now that they had the opportunity to get rid of his father-in-law, they
Nature spares no effort.
"Father, Prime Minister Su has been loyal for many years and has never done anything that is disrespectful to the country. This matter happened because of the princess of the Zhou Kingdom, and the Zhou Kingdom naturally has some unshirkable responsibilities. Therefore, Prime Minister Su will not be punished until death.
.”
Xuanyuan Rui stood up and spoke for Su Tai, but his words were also strongly opposed by General Zuo and Cui Shangshu, and the three began to argue.
When Xuanyuan Xu heard that there was a quarrel below, his mood became even worse, and he patted his head to stop their argument.
"Okay, stop arguing, General Murong, what do you think should be done with Prime Minister Su?"
"Your Majesty, why not implement the terms of the Mandate of Heaven and see what God wants?"
General Murong pondered for a while before speaking cautiously. He didn't want to offend anyone, especially the prince. It would be better to leave Su Tai's fate to God. If God lets him live, he will live. If God lets him live, he will live. If God lets him die, he will.
Can't save him either.
"I think this is the only way."
Xuanyuan Xu felt relaxed all of a sudden. It was much easier to do anything to implement the terms of the destiny, and he could also save Su Tai's life.
"What is the Mandate Clause?"
Zhou Yuyan seemed a little dissatisfied. He looked at General Murong and directly asked his doubts. Not only her, but also Su Huan'er was also very curious.
"The Mandate of Heaven clause is established for ministers who have made great achievements. If these ministers commit unforgivable capital crimes, they can execute this clause. On the day of execution, the executioner will set up two lots: life lot and death lot.
, let the prisoner draw a lot, and if he draws a lot for life, he will be released on the spot; if he draws a lot for death, he will be beheaded immediately."
General Murong explained patiently. Zhou Yuyan frowned when he heard this and thought about how to deal with it. She couldn't be so easy on Su Tai, absolutely not.
"What are the signatures made of?"
Zhou Yuyan asked again, she must prevent these people from cheating, especially the emperor, who looked like he didn't want Su Tai to die.
"Blank paper."
General Murong continued to answer with a calm expression on his face, without any emotional fluctuations.
"My daughter-in-law wants to ask my father for something. In order to ensure fairness, how about a person from the Zhou Kingdom serve as the supervisor of the lot?"
As long as this prison officer is one of our own, are we still afraid that Su Tai will not die? Su Huan'er has put her in such a situation, and she will definitely not make it easy for her.
"this……"
Xuanyuan Xu looked embarrassed, thinking that Zhou Yuyan really didn't want to cross Su Tai this time, and felt uncomfortable. But after all, this was the matter of the Xia Kingdom, how could a princess from another country give advice here.
"After all, this is a matter of the Xia Kingdom. Naturally, the people of the Xia Kingdom should handle everything. You don't have to worry. I guarantee that the terms of this destiny are absolutely fair and just."
Xuanyuan Xu's words made Zhou Yuyan's heart skip a beat. Seeing that Xuanyuan Xu's face was not good-looking, it was difficult to say anything due to his identity. Su Huan'er, who was standing beside him, spoke thoughtfully for a while.
"Let the people from the Zhou Kingdom be the supervisors and executioners. This way, if you win the lottery, you can stop the bad mouths of those Zhou people."
She knew very well what Zhou Yuyan was planning this time, but Zhou Yuyan looked down upon herself too much. She wanted to kill Bai Hao with just her little tricks, it was a joke.
"Huan'er, are you thinking about it?"
Xuanyuan Rui couldn't figure out why she did this, and was a little anxious to think that if Su let someone from the Zhou Kingdom be the prison officer, Su Tai might have to do it. If it were someone from the Xia Kingdom, he could arrange everything well, and Su Tai's hair would be all right.
There won't be one missing.
Su Huan'er gave Xuanyuan Rui a rare look. She understood what he meant. Judging from his reaction, it seemed that the matter had nothing to do with him, but once she decided, she would never change it.
