111: Ordered to beat people

Nangong Aotian looked at Nangong Yu and asked with an ambiguous expression, "Yuer, if Imperial Uncle does not allow it, what will you do?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu scratched his head and pondered for a moment, "If Imperial Uncle does not allow it, perhaps Yuer will seal off the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence and never come out again?"

"Oh? Why?" Hearing Nangong Yu's answer, Nangong Aotian asked in surprise.

"There is no help for it. Imperial Uncle is very good to Yuer, and Yuer does not wish to disobey your decree."

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly and said, "But Yuer has already spoken big words. If I cannot do it, I am afraid Yuer will have no face to remain in this Imperial City. The only option would be to seal off the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence and never come out!"

Hearing this response, Nangong Aotian could not help but shake his head and smile; this was truly an unexpected answer.

He shook his head, smiled, and waved his hand, "Alright, you may withdraw first. I will not intervene in this matter; just act according to your own wishes!"

"Many thanks, Imperial Uncle!" Nangong Yu bowed slightly and thanked him.

"Many thanks, Imperial Brother!" Shangguan Yuexi thanked him, then immediately took Nangong Yu and exited Fengxian Hall.

"Let's go, back to the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence!" Shangguan Yuexi pulled Nangong Yu and smiled.

"Mm!" Nangong Yu nodded, turned to face Nangong Ruoxue, and waved, "Eldest Imperial Sister, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!" Nangong Ruoxue's little face was beaming with a smile as she watched the two leave.

However, she did not leave; she turned around and entered Fengxian Hall once again.

"Ruo Xue, is something the matter?" Seeing her return, Nangong Aotian seemed to have guessed something and asked.

Nangong Ruoxue hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet and asked, "Father Emperor, you should know what happened at the Supervision Office today, right?"

"I know. What about it?" Nangong Aotian lifted his eyes slightly, looking at his daughter with curiosity.

Nangong Ruoxue took a deep breath, her expression not looking very good, and said, "There is a shadow of Jinglin behind this; it is very likely he instigated it."

Nangong Aotian looked up, his expression calm and unruffled, "Is this your guess?"

Nangong Ruoxue shook her head, "Those three people testified against Jinglin, and Second Imperial Aunt and the others all have this suspicion, but little Yuer does not seem to intend to pursue it deeply."

"Oh? What did Yuer say?" Nangong Aotian became slightly interested and asked.

Nangong Ruoxue did not say much more, repeating Nangong Yu's previous words exactly as they were.

After listening to her words, Nangong Aotian was silent for a moment and could not help but shake his head, "That rebellious son does not know what is good for him; he does not realize he has already caused great trouble."

Hearing this, Nangong Ruoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her delicate eyebrows, "Father Emperor, what do you mean by that?"

"It is nothing." Nangong Aotian shook his head and looked at Nangong Ruoxue, "Ruo Xue, I will give you a task."

"Please instruct me, Father Emperor!" Nangong Ruoxue quickly bowed and said respectfully.

Nangong Aotian pondered for a moment and smiled, "From now on, whenever you feel Jinglin has done something wrong, as long as the reason is sufficient, you do not need to tell us. How about you just give him a good beating first?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Ruoxue was slightly stunned, "Father Emperor, are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Nangong Aotian nodded, took out a blank imperial decree, wrote it down, and handed it to Nangong Ruoxue, "Beating people by imperial decree; good luck!"

Nangong Ruoxue blankly took the imperial decree, her head still a bit dazed, not understanding what kind of move this was by her Father Emperor.

Nangong Aotian looked at her with amusement and smiled, "Alright, you go down and rest first!"

"Yes!" Nangong Ruoxue nodded and exited Fengxian Hall.

...The events that occurred within the Supervision Office were not covered up; like a storm, they swept through Qingyou Imperial City in a short time, and almost everyone knew about it.

For a time, everyone was watching the joke of The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families, eagerly anticipating what the fate of those who provoked the Prince of Zhenbei would be.

Of course, there were also those filled with righteous indignation, feeling deeply ashamed of The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families.

The old Prince of Zhenbei had died in battle.

The Prince of Zhenbeis Residence was left with only an orphan and a widow, yet the juniors of The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families were so shameless that they actually bullied the current Prince of Zhenbei's maid!

Was this not slapping the face of the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence and bullying them because they had no one?

It was only because they heard that the Zhenbei Army would likely head south and enter Qingyou Imperial City; otherwise, these people would have targeted the people of the three families to some extent!

At this very moment, whether they were just watching the excitement or felt ashamed of The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families, everyone was looking forward to the Zhenbei Army heading south and was expecting the actions of the Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu.

They were very curious whether the current Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, truly had the domineering spirit to lead the Zhenbei Army to The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families to demand an explanation.

Unlike the others, the people in charge of The Wang, Zhang, and Lin Families, who were the parties involved, were about to go crazy.

The Lin Family.

The head of the Lin Family, Lin Xiao, sat in the main seat. After hearing the account of the youth kneeling below, his expression became extremely gloomy.

He took a deep breath and shouted furiously, "Rebellious son, how dare you!"

"Fa... Father, I..." The youth looked shocked and was about to beg for mercy, but he saw Lin Xiao's figure flash and instantly appear in front of him.

"Bang!" "Ah!" Following a heavy thud against the ground, the youth's scream rang out.

But facing his screams, Lin Xiao remained expressionless; to be precise, his expression was gloomy.

"Someone, take this rebellious son down and lock him up. Wait until I return from court tomorrow to make a decision!"

"Yes, Master!" Several guards quickly stepped forward, covered the youth's mouth, and dragged him away.

Seeing the person dragged away, Lin Xiao could not help but look up towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, "The survival of the Lin Family depends on what His Majesty says at tomorrow's morning court."

He muttered a sentence, but thinking of the rumors about His Majesty's doting on the Prince of Zhenbei, Nangong Yu, he feared this disaster would be hard to escape.

"Sigh, an unprovoked disaster!" Lin Xiao let out a long sigh, turned around, and walked into the study.

On the other side, the events that occurred in the Wang and Zhang families were much the same as the Lin family; they all wanted to see His Majesty's attitude tomorrow before speaking.

But would they really get their wish?

...Prince of Zhenbeis Residence.

Nangong Yu saw that Su Xingmeng was safe and sound, and he pretended to heave a long sigh of relief.

He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Su Xingmeng's waist, "Sister Xingmeng, it is great that you are alright. Before, when I heard from Qing Ling about what you did, I was worried to death!"

"Young Master, I am fine!" Su Xingmeng smiled and said softly.

But thinking of the previous events, her expression became ugly, "However, that assassin was really coming for me. If it weren't for Senior Shen, I am afraid I would have been in danger!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu understood in his heart, but on the surface, he looked surprised and asked, "Sister Xingmeng, you encountered an assassin?"

Su Xingmeng nodded with a heavy expression, "I do not know who wants my life. According to Aunt Shen, the one who came was actually an assassin from the Yellow Springs Tower in the Calamity Destruction Realm."

Hearing this, Nangong Yu could not help but frown slightly, his expression somewhat ugly.
