"Your Majesty!! You're going to have to call the shots for me!! This sudden dry howl was really earth-shattering, and it startled everyone. And the voice is so sharp and high-pitched that even the national audience who is watching the live broadcast can hear it clearly.

For a while, the whole country fell into a short silence!

Emperor Sedum's smile instantly froze on his face, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, staring straight in the direction of the door of the council hall.

I saw a noble lady crying and slamming into the guards, stumbling down the steps, crying as she ran: "Your Majesty, my son died unjustly! A good person said that it was gone, and he was beaten to death by outsiders, you have to make the decision for my son! ”

"Presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

Two shouts rang out at the same time, one was the old steward standing beside the emperor, and the other was the furious Duke Widson: "Isn't the council hall a place to cry and cry out!" Someone, get her out of here! ”

Immediately, the two guards who had been knocked out of the way hurriedly rushed down, grabbed the noblewoman left and right, and dragged the lady out of the door.

But the noblewoman struggled more and more frantically, and at the same time cried out loudly: "Your Majesty, my son called your uncle when he was a child! Are you so ruthless and cold-blooded? ”

"Hurry up and stop the live broadcast and cut the ads!" The director in charge of the live broadcast finally came back to his senses and immediately yelled in a cold sweat.

The bewildered national audience suddenly saw that the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted and cut into the advertisement, and the whole country was in an uproar for a while.

In the council hall, everyone was still staring blankly at the noble lady who was dragged towards the door.

Emperor Sedum glanced at the camera that had stopped broadcasting, and said unusually calmly: "Stop, bring her forward." ”

The two guards were stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned around and set up the noble lady in front of the podium.

As soon as the noble lady was put in front of the emperor, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed and begged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my son really died so miserably!" ”

"Lady Julie." The old manager stepped forward to help the noblewoman up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, listen, you get up first and talk well." ”

The lady struggled for a while, but she couldn't resist the strength of the old manager, and was helped up. At the same time, a dark voice echoed in her ear: "Madame, if you have anything to say, you must think it clearly." ”

Mrs. Julie shivered inexplicably, and her feverish head suddenly calmed down a lot, but when she thought of her son's tragic death, her eyes immediately turned red again, and she choked up: "Your Majesty, my son left home in the morning, but he was carried back just now." ”

Emperor Sedum took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked around the entire council hall, looking at everyone's expressions, and then said to Madame Julie in a deep voice: "I can understand the pain of your loss of a child, Madame, but your reckless behavior has interfered with national affairs, which should be a great crime!" ”

Mrs. Julie's face turned pale immediately, her legs were weak, and she wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but she was held up by the boss and couldn't kneel.

Listening to Emperor Sedum's words, he said: "But I will not pursue your reckless behavior for the time being, you will make things clear first, and then I will make a decision." ”

Although Emperor Sedum wanted to slap the woman in front of him to death, he also knew that he had to show enough mercy in front of so many nobles. Especially since this woman has just lost her child, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, or as an emperor, he should give her the greatest sympathy and forgiveness.

Lady Julie immediately wept and recounted the incident, causing an uproar in the hall.

In fact, it is normal for young people to be jealous of each other, and even in the past, there were one or two deaths due to duels every year.

But even the emperor could not prohibit such a thing, because it was a long-standing tradition of the nobility......

Today, the key is to see who both parties are.

One side is just a little baron, and the key is that the background is tough.

The other side is the most troublesome, because it can escalate to a diplomatic incident.

The point is that the two races are about to form an alliance and prepare to join forces against the Zerg.

Of course, the emperor was not willing to ask the foreign envoy for the sake of a little baron, after all, this was unreasonable on both sides, and if it really went to court, it would only become a joke.

But this Mrs. Julie just made a fuss in the national live broadcast, resulting in the fact that now the whole country knows about it, and countless people are waiting to see how your emperor will deal with this matter.

Although Emperor Sedum didn't see any joy or anger on the surface, his slightly closed eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Because he knew very well that this matter was definitely a counterattack from the nobles, otherwise how could a noble lady break into the heavily guarded council hall and shout out injustice.

The point is that no matter how he handles this matter, it is extremely easy to cause unpredictable consequences, not to mention how many people are watching, if he has the slightest unfair judgment, it will become an excuse for the nobles to attack.

When the time comes, there will be an uproar in the national public opinion, and he will not go to the royal conquest in person, so let's think about how to calm the anger of the people.

The large conference hall was filled with only the intermittent choking of Lady Julie, and the others were all eerily silent after the uproar.

Seeing that the emperor was expressionless, many people turned their eyes to the Star Spirit Clan's envoy, only to find that the envoy seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Ahem." Emperor Sedum coughed dryly twice and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and saw that he asked Murong Feng with a little embarrassment, "May I ask your envoy about this?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Murong Feng to see how she would answer.

"Yes." Surprisingly, Murong Feng replied unusually calmly, as if it was not her entourage who killed people.

"Then may I ask your envoy......" Emperor Sedum also wanted to ask Murong Feng's opinion to avoid the point where it really made trouble to the point where it could not be ended, but he didn't want Mrs. Julie to jump up first, and screamed fiercely: "Your Majesty, you also heard it, she has admitted it, you have to avenge my son." ”

Even if Emperor Sedum was good at cultivating qi, he also showed a trace of anger: "As a nobleman, Madame Julie, please maintain the etiquette that a nobleman should have." If you can't do that, I'll send a minister of rites to teach you again. ”

This was very serious, and Mrs. Julie was suddenly frightened by the emperor's words, and knelt down tremblingly and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am just excited for a while......"

"Alright, you step aside first, and then make a decision after I finish asking." Emperor Sedum said lightly, and then asked Murong Feng, "May I ask if your envoy can let that entourage come to testify in front of the court?" There may be some unknown reason for this. ”

"Yes." Murong Feng still replied very calmly, making all the nobles who were ready to watch the show stunned.

Soon, three envoys were brought over.

In front of everyone's eyes, Emperor Sedum personally opened his mouth to inquire about the reason for the incident, and Mephisto shrugged his shoulders and confessed very dryly: "I killed the man, because that guy is too weak to even catch my fist." ”

"I want you to pay for my son's life!" Lady Julie immediately rushed at Mephisto in a frenzied manner.

The old steward immediately grabbed Mrs. Julie and pressed her to her seat.

Mephisto chuckled disdainfully, and asked loudly in front of everyone, "This is the tradition of your nobility?" Didn't you say that life and death in a duel have their own destiny? ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion, some people accused Mephisto of arrogance, and some people opened their mouths to defend him, and the quarrel was inexorable.

Emperor Sedum frowned and asked, "Are you sure you're dueling?" And not a brawl? ”

"It's a duel." Mephisto said very calmly: "Everyone present at the time can testify, that kid took off his gloves and threw me in the face in front of everyone." ”

Emperor Sedum looked serious, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Julie said excitedly: "My son has always been modest and polite, and he has never blushed with anyone. This is clearly a speechless faction of this person, who wants to exonerate himself! ”

Duke Widson glanced at a henchman, and the henchman immediately spoke aloud: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that aristocratic traditions can only be applied to nobles, and this person is just an entourage and not a nobleman, but he killed the nobles of our country, and should be punished heavily, otherwise how can I have the face of the empire?" ”

Immediately, more radical aristocrats jumped out and demanded that the emperor severely punish the murderer, give Mrs. Julie justice, and give an explanation to the people of the world.

For a time, the huge conference hall was filled with noise.

Emperor Sedum calmly glanced at the nobles who were the happiest at the moment, memorized the names of these people one by one, and finally glanced at the few old fellows who were standing with Duke Widson.

"Silence!" The old steward screamed, and the messy council hall finally fell silent.

But the nobles who had quieted down all stared at Emperor Sedum quietly to see how he would decide the matter.

Emperor Sedum retracted his gaze and looked at Mephisto, and found that the person did not seem to have taken anything big to heart, and even the envoy and the two attendants beside her had a breezy expression, as if they were just watching a good show.

Such a calm performance is obviously either dependent or fearless.

Emperor Sedum opened his mouth and asked Mephisto, "So you admit that you killed Cross, the baron who fought you in a duel?" ”

Mephisto smiled and said, "There were hundreds of guests present, who could both testify for me and correct me. That's right, I killed people. Your Majesty wants my life to pay for my life? ”

There was another noise in the council hall, and the nobles were all talking about where this person had the confidence to admit that he had killed a nobleman so calmly?

Emperor Sedum furrowed his brows, looked at Murong Feng and asked, "I don't know what your envoy's opinion is?" ”

Everyone looked at Murong Feng in unison, and saw her slowly get up and smile: "It depends on how Your Majesty determines his behavior, if Your Majesty thinks that he has violated the laws of your country, then it will be dealt with according to law." ”

There was another commotion in the hall, and everyone didn't expect the envoy to be so profound.

Duke Widson frowned imperceptibly when he heard this, because this was not the direction of the plot he expected.

"Your envoy really understands the righteousness." Emperor Sedum smiled slightly, and was about to get off the donkey, but saw another noble councilor jump out and interject: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the relationship between the two countries, and it should be carefully considered. In his humble opinion, the envoy should have diplomatic immunity, and besides, it should have been Baron Cross who first requested the duel at the time of the incident, so the two sides of the duel naturally had their own destiny. There is no reason to investigate after the fact, this is simply a bad tradition of the aristocracy. ”

Emperor Sedum's face immediately turned cold, because this was the line he should have said, but he was preempted. And the same words are completely different from what others say, at least the emperor can make a decision in a word, and the nobles can only hold it in their hearts even if they have any opinions. When the time comes, comfort Mrs. Julie, who is in pain of losing her child, and compensate her with some benefits, and you can turn big things into small things.

But someone has to stick a stick......

Emperor Sedum quietly glanced at Duke Widson, who had a smug sneer on his face.

Sure enough, as soon as the noble councilor's voice fell, several noble councillors couldn't wait to jump out and refute it.

"You fart!"

"Where do these ridiculous statements place the laws of the Empire?"

"If someone follows suit, won't the murderer go unpunished again?"

"Your Majesty, this case cannot be opened, otherwise there will be endless disasters!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and countless nobles jumped out to oppose it.

Emperor Sedum had a cold face, and said in his heart that in the past, you always talked about the aristocratic tradition and ignored the laws of the empire, but now it is good, all of them seem to be incarnated as the vanguard of the law, and you have to defend the dignity of the law when you open and close your mouth.

"Silence!" The old steward drank vigorously a few times before the market-like council hall was quiet.

Emperor Sedum asked in a deep voice, "Then how should this matter be handled according to the opinions of the secretaries?" ”

"The ministers don't dare to speak falsely, everything is decided by the holy will!" The aristocrats kicked the ball back.

Emperor Sedum's face turned cold, and it was clear that he had been driven to the brink of rage.

At this time, Murong Feng suddenly got up and left his seat, walked into the middle of the entrance, came to Mephisto's side, looked around the audience and said slowly: "Although this play is very exciting, I have to remind you that the Zerg army has been killed at your doorstep." ”

"Is it possible that the envoy wants to shield the murderer?" Immediately, the nobleman asked with a sneer.

"I haven't said that, so don't slander you." Murong Feng chuckled.

Emperor Sedum looked at Murong Feng who was smiling, his eyelids immediately jumped, and he said bluntly: "Your envoy, please return to your seat, this matter has been decided." ”

Murong Feng shook his head and said, "This matter has embarrassed Your Majesty, so let me deal with it." ”

Emperor Sedum tightened his face, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn. The old manager on the side stood quietly beside the emperor, squinting slightly and staring at Murong Feng tightly.

On the contrary, all the nobles looked like they were watching the show, wanting to see what else the envoy had to say.

Seeing Murong Feng walking up to Duke Weidesen with a smile, he asked, "Old Duke, you haven't expressed any opinion in the next meeting, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”
