Capítulo 1981: Chapter 1981
“Lord Liu, wait, wait.”
The Empress rushed to the platform in a lavish dress, so flustered that her hairbun and attire were slightly disheveled.
The officials sitting on the platform saw the Empress arrive and hurriedly knelt to pay their respects…
“Long live the Empress, long live, long live!”
The commoners surrounding the execution ground saw the Empress herself co, and their feelings were conflicted. Today’s person scheduled for execution was the Pri Minister, who was the Empress’s father. Why was the Empress here at this mont? Could it be she wanted to save the Pri Minister?
While everyone speculated, they also knelt down in succession to kowtow: “Long live the Empress, long live, long live!”
Everyone present knelt to pay their respects, except Long Rui and Xuexue, who remained seated, looking coldly at the Empress, standing out from the crowd.
The War Prince is the guardian of Moli Country, and everyone was accustod to his haughty behavior.
At this mont, the Empress was in a panic, not caring about so much, she hastily said to Lord Liu, “Get up, Lord Liu, please rise!”
This Lord Liu appeared respectful to the Empress on the surface, but when it ca to the Pri Minister, he acted strictly business-like.
“Thank you, Empress!”
The Empress anxiously paced in circles, but Lord Liu remained unhurried, slowly standing up.
“Lord Liu, could the execution be delayed?” The Empress looked at Lord Liu imploringly. At this mont, she had no empress’s deanor, just a woman willing to forgo her dignity to save her father.
Lord Liu glanced at Long Rui, his expression sowhat troubled.
The Empress imdiately understood what that ant and turned to Long Rui, saying, “Prince, I beg you, spare my father.”
Long Rui frowned, saying, “Empress, what do you an by this? Every family has its rules, and every country its laws. The Pri Minister broke the law and naturally must be punished. The evidence is conclusive, and even I cannot make exceptions.”
The Empress’s heart ached with anger. The War Prince was blatantly lying with his eyes open, clearly intent on killing the Pri Minister, yet had such a righteous reason.
Indeed, the Pri Minister sent soone to assassinate the War Prince at his mansion, only to be caught with people carrying the Pri Minister’s residence branding. Who else could be blad? The Pri Minister was simply too foolish, leaving evidence in the War Prince’s hands.
The Empress looked at Long Rui with pleading eyes, “I beg you, just delay the execution for today!”
Long Rui coldly said, “I cannot make that decision.”
The Pri Minister, bound to the side, saw the Empress arrive, hope rising in his eyes, and he loudly shouted, “Empress, save ! Empress!”
The Empress heard this and her heart ached even more. As an Empress, she couldn’t even save her own father. It was truly useless.
At that mont, a bit of anger surged, she no longer groveled, straightened her back, and spoke in a tone full of threat, “War Prince, no matter what, I am the Empress. You, a re minister, isn’t it improper for you to act so disrespectful towards ?”
Long Rui laughed, his voice full of mockery, “How does the Empress want to show respect? By obeying all commands, or by releasing the Pri Minister on the spot?”
“He is my father. How do you, a minister, have the right to execute him?”
“The Emperor always says, ‘If a prince breaks the law, he is to be punished like a commoner.’ Is your father more valuable than a prince?”
“You… you…!”
Long Rui’s words almost angered the Empress to death.
