The atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly became solemn and solemn.

The dignitaries in the audience were silent and somewhat slow to react to the sudden change in the situation.

Emperor Yuanfeng glared at Song Xi angrily, his fierce eyes full of uncontrollable murderous intent, and his racing mind kept thinking of ways to kill the person in front of him on the spot.

How could a marriage, which was originally just a trial, suddenly turn into a scene of questioning?!

Anxious Yu Hongxuan tensed up his nerves and used the cover of his wide sleeves to hold the poisonous ice needle between his fingers. Once he found that something was wrong, he would immediately make the emperor "suddenly ill and faint".

He Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War, quickly came out to plead with his friends, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Song Xi is stubborn by nature and not good at words. He just loved his unmarried wife too much today, so he unintentionally offended His Majesty with his unintentional remarks. He did not mean to contradict the emperor's decree. Please forgive him."

It’s a crime of indecency!”

Several military attachés who were friends with Marquis Dingbei also came out to intercede on behalf of Song Xi, and in the center of the hall, words of advice for the emperor to calm down continued to be heard.

Marquis Weiyuan hesitated for a while, and finally joined the plea.

"Please, Your Majesty, forgive my reckless grandson. I will punish him severely when I get back! Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing. Don't get angry and harm yourself for this fool."

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being diverted, Yu Hongxuan quietly changed the ice needles in his hands and quickly shot another type of ice needles at the candlesticks surrounding the emperor.

The ice needles with special effects melted when exposed to fire, emitting a colorless and odorless calming medicinal gas, which quickly calmed the emperor's anger and murderous intent, and even blurred his memory of his fear of Song Xi.

The emperor's expression was dazed for a moment, and then he regained his former peace. He frowned and glanced at the people trying to persuade him to make peace, and waved his hand impatiently to order them to leave quickly.

"Okay, let's all get down."

Everyone who begged for mercy quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were a little surprised and at a loss about the emperor's uncertain changes, a smooth passage was the best result.

After Song Xi kowtowed and thanked him, he silently returned to his seat to sit and reflect.

His behavior tonight was too impulsive, and he failed to choose the safest way to act or phrase his actions. If he were suddenly convicted and punished, wouldn't he cause his family and loved ones to be worried about him?

The eldest prince, who had been waiting to see what happened to Song Xi, looked stunned. He was very confused about the reason for his father's change. He was about to open his mouth to fan the flames, but unexpectedly he felt a chill on his forehead, and then he fell into a state of drunkenness and dizziness.

In this state, even thinking becomes slow and sluggish.

Yu Hongxuan, who took action to stop the eldest prince in time, secretly wiped his cold sweat and felt that tonight's New Year's Banquet was really frightening. If he hadn't practiced flying needle kung fu every day, he really didn't know how he would survive in such a dangerous situation.

Rescue brother-in-law.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the soul-identifying bracelet that had turned into a ring. He was somewhat thankful that others could not see the strange changes that had just occurred.

Although there was still a long distance between Song Xi and Song Xi, the soul-discriminating bracelet suddenly burst out with bright golden light. The brilliant color was even more dazzling than when they first met, shocking him and leaving him speechless.

Yu Hongxuan secretly glanced at the suspicious and fickle Emperor Yuanfeng on the dragon throne, feeling some unspeakable complexity and emotion in his heart.

The more intense the oppression of the imperial power, the stronger Qianlong will grow. Destiny will eventually lead everyone to the established track, and even those who come from another world cannot resist.

The New Year's Eve banquet entered the second half. Songs, dances and music gradually diluted the tense and delicate atmosphere. The dignitaries present were all well-educated people. With a little change of glasses and cups, changing the topic, the embarrassment and heaviness just now no longer existed.

Just when everyone thought that tonight's sudden change would be over, the angry Princess Yongning suddenly broke into the banquet hall, ran to Song Xi's seat without saying a word and whipped her.

"How dare you despise me?! You are just a mediocre waste, but you still have the courage to resist the decree and refuse marriage? I will cripple your deceitful skin today and see if that bitch Yu can still do it.

I will be devoted to you!"

She did not attend the female guests' annual banquet today, but planned to sneak out of the palace to have fun. Before she could reach the palace gate, she heard the emperor's brother's secret guards coming to report Song Xi's refusal to marry her.

She, Wu Chuqing, has always been the only thing in the world that she doesn't want. How can these untouchables reject or dislike her? The Song family is just a bunch of vulgar and stupid warriors, and they are not worthy of her noble blood!

The sudden farce caused everyone to panic. They didn't know whether to pull away the furious Princess Yongning or take Song Xi away from her position under the pressure of being accidentally injured. After hesitation, they could only panic and persuade the princess to calm down and stop.

Song Xi, who was whipped, was helpless.

Not wanting to expose her superb martial arts skills in the imperial palace, Song Xi could only pretend to be clumsy and avoid the princess's long whip, trying her best to control the location of the beating within the appropriate range.

The special whip was embedded with slender and sharp blades. With just a few whips, Song Xi's upper body was torn to pieces. The dripping blood seeped into the light-colored robe. The sharp pain made people angry and irritated.

Emperor Yuanfeng deliberately allowed Princess Yongning to teach the displeased Zhu Zi. Later, when he saw the dignitaries in the palace showing faint expressions of fear and disgust, he felt that his irritable and irritable daughter had made him lose face, so he immediately ordered her to stop.

"That's enough! What a nonsense! Go back to your mother and concubine!"

Princess Yongning glared at Song Xi fiercely, and asked the emperor angrily: "Father, the man named Song is ungrateful. What can I do if I kill him? He is just a useless dog slave. What can I do for him?"

It is also his honor to dedicate his humble life to the royal family!"

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. They all couldn't believe that Princess Yongning compared the son of an important minister to a slave who was killed at will.

Although I had heard rumors about Princess Yongning being vicious and vicious in the past, I still felt a little shuddering when I saw her willful and reckless behavior that disregarded human life.

She dared to kill the son of a marquis in public, so in her eyes, wouldn’t the other dignitaries also be slaves and untouchables?!

When the emperor saw the gloomy expressions on the ministers' faces, and some embarrassment on their faces, he felt a little regretful for the first time in his heart, as he should not have indulged this wayward daughter too much.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you allow you to kill the son of an important minister casually? What do you think of the laws of Zhou Dynasty?"

Princess Yongning curled her lips in disdain and made other demands, "Then kill Song Xi's fiancée! I heard that she is just a low-status commoner, and it doesn't matter if she dies! Otherwise, just let her go so lightly.

, where should I put my daughter's face? Father, you have to make the decision for me!"

When Song Xi heard that she had set her sights on Yu Yalan, she was so panicked that she ignored her injuries and immediately knelt down to the emperor to beg for mercy.
