Shen Su'er smiled and said: "I was quite scared at the time. I just thought about it and said it nonsense. Don't take it seriously." She thought about it for a while and realized that this idea was indeed a bit ridiculous. She was a little worried that what she just said might offend this person. The moody emperor was angry.
Murong Jing's eyes dimmed and he asked coldly: "Queen, do you think now is the time to joke?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." She restrained herself, lowered her head and apologized in a low voice. In such a solemn hall? How could you say unreliable words casually? What a tragedy, I made a mistake for a moment, did I get a little carried away? Uh-huh, or so. It's better to pretend to be weak.
Murong Jing snorted coldly and glanced at the kneeling person below. He asked indifferently: "Master Prime Minister, tell me how to handle this matter according to the law?"
The old prime minister's body tensed up, but he did not lose his composure. After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyelids as if accepting his fate, bowed his head and knelt down and said: "Go back to the emperor, and behead according to the law, destroy... destroy the three clans!" When he said the last sentence, the old prime minister said Tears are already flowing freely. Giving birth to an unfilial daughter has led to the disaster of annihilation of the family. She should not have been allowed to have her own words and actions in the first place, forcing her to say that she would not marry anyone other than the emperor, and that she would have to enter the palace.[
A flash of confusion flashed in Shen Su'er's eyes. Three clans? Oh my God! How many people are going to die? A few days ago, I heard from Xiao Rong and others, saying that Xiao Guifei's family is quite powerful in the court. Why is this like this? One person is punished. Isn’t that enough?
"Master Xiang, do you have any objections?"
"I am willing to die, but I would like to remember the merits of several generations of the Xiao family, and beg the emperor to be extra merciful... spare the people who are not of the Xiao surname! Such a sinful minister will still have a smile on his face even if he dies." After that, the Prime Minister kept kowtowing. , his forehead was bleeding, but it still didn’t stop. He knew that the Xiao family could not escape disaster, but he could only try his best to save his innocent relatives.
Murong Jing stared indifferently, without any fluctuation or hesitation.
"Your Majesty, are the people kneeling below...all, all of them going to die?" Shen Su'er was shocked and asked in a low voice.
Murong Jing turned his head and glanced at Shen Su'er doubtfully, and said decisively: "Yes, all of them."
"Brother Imperial, this matter is of great importance and has a profound impact. You need to think twice. Besides... you can't be convicted based on just a pair of earrings, right?! You have to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for a joint trial..." Murong Chuxue interceded. At this time, He was the only one who dared to speak for the Xiao family.
But at this moment, Shen Suer suddenly stood up from the dragon chair!
