The Emperor took a deep breath. She was a princess of a country, yet she was willing to bet her reputation and integrity to marry a commoner. She had lost the face of the royal family and, simultaneously, had let down his love for her. Consort Li’s words reminded him that Su Qing’s ability was terrifying. She alone had the aura of an army. If it wasn’t for her at the Azure Mountain Meet that day, would he still sit on the dragon throne? He would have long been forced to abdicate by the Empress and the Second Prince.

Even without this incident, Su Qing was still his benefactor. Killing her benefactor’s fiance was not morally right.

But today’s matter was already as powerful as riding a tiger. If they let Ji Shuisheng go, where would the royal family’s face be?

The Emperor’s heart wavered, unable to make a decision. His fingers tapped on the dragon table as he looked at Ji Shuisheng with an uncertain expression.

Ji Shuisheng looked at the Emperor calmly. His fearless appearance and his iron bones made the Emperor seem to see another person through him.

He looked at Ji Shuisheng’s eyes carefully and suddenly realized why he felt that he looked familiar.

The Emperor asked Ji Shuisheng in a deep voice,

“What relationship does General Xiao Heng have with you?”

Ji Shuisheng did not expect the Emperor to remember his father still. He straightened his back and replied respectfully,

“He is my father.”

The old Emperor frowned slightly. Was he Xiao Heng’s son?

Saiya hated Ji Shuisheng. Seeing that her father wasn’t going to kill Ji Shuisheng, she shouted angrily,

“Father, kill him.”

“Shut up.”

The Emperor slapped the dragon table and slapped Saiya across the face.

“The dignified Princess is shameless. Go back and copy the female virtues a hundred times.”

“Imperial Father?”

Saiya covered her painful face and shouted hysterically at the Emperor,

“You didn’t help me, but you still treated me like this? Am I your daughter?”

“I’ve spoiled you too much; that’s why I’ve spoiled you so much. Please don’t say that 1 didn’t give you a chance. There are two paths. One is for you to marry the prince of the Hasar Kingdom obediently, and you’ll still be my good daughter, and 1’11 still be your good father. The other is a path of no return. If you continue to be stubborn, for the sake of the royal family’s face, I… I can only execute you.”

The old Emperor looked at his daughter bitterly. After all, he had doted on her for more than ten years. The father-daughter relationship was still intense.

He hoped that Saiya would no longer be willful and obediently marry the prince of Hasar.

“No, I will never marry that bearded man who smells like sheep.”

When Saiya heard her father’s words, it was as if she was going crazy. She cried loudly at the old Emperor.

The old Emperor was so angry with his daughter that his chest was heaving up and down. He panted heavily, and the blood in his head was rushing up. He pointed at Saiya with a trembling finger.

“Alright, since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame the Imperial Father for being heartless.”

“Men, forbid the princess from eating until she has written ten articles of female virtue.”

This was the biggest punishment Saiya had ever received in her life. She looked at her father in disbelief. How could this be? How could he do this to her?

“Father, I’m Saiya, your precious daughter. Didn’t you say you would give me the best thing in the world? Didn’t you say that as long as I want something, you will help me get it?”

As she roared at her father, Saiya was on the verge of breaking down. She was like a trapped beast as tears flowed down her face.

The Emperor had already regained his dignity. His eyes were cold and emotionless. He no longer had the pained look of a father. He waved his hand at the guard and said,

“Take her away.”

With the Emperor’s words, even if it were the Princess’s guard, he would still drag her out mercilessly. Saiya’s broken arm was touched, and she screamed in pain, but the Emperor was unmoved.

Consort Li once again sighed with emotion that the Emperor’s heart was like a needle in the sea, unfathomable. Don’t be arrogant, no matter how much the Emperor doted on you.

Just like Saiya, whom he held like a pearl and treasure in his hands. When he hardened his heart, he could personally shatter this favor.

Ji Shuisheng watched as the Emperor punished the Princess, but he still stood there expressionlessly. A mere rope could not tie him up, and he could not let the old Emperor kill him without a fight.

However, until the last moment, he still wanted to bet on whether the old Emperor was a stupid ruler.

If the Emperor was not a foolish ruler, then the two countries could still be good neighbors. If the old Emperor were cruel and idiotic and did not keep his promise, then it would be a huge problem. He would have to destroy Tartan first before attacking the dynasty.

The old Emperor looked at Ji Shuisheng with a burning gaze. The Emperor’s gaze was still very dignified and authoritative. Ordinary people did not dare to look at him, but this young man met his gaze calmly and did not retreat or dodge. His aura had the elegance of Xiao Heng in the past.

If such a person were to become his enemy, he would be a huge threat to Tartan.

Should he get rid of him while he was still young?

Ji Shuisheng saw the unpredictable expression in the old Emperor’s eyes and guessed that he was also hesitating. Ji Shuisheng had already secretly circulated his Qi. If he exerted force, he would be able to break the rope.

The two guards behind him were nothing to be afraid of. He was still very confident that he could capture the old Emperor. If he held the old Emperor hostage, he would naturally be able to return to Mo City safely.

The old Emperor was shocked when he saw the killing intent hidden in Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. The dragon in front of him still could turn the world upside down even though he had temporarily landed on his territory.

When he thought of Su Qing’s power, the old Emperor gave up on killing Ji Shuisheng.

If you encountered a strong enemy you could not defeat, you had to befriend him. As long as the two countries did not fight, trade with each other, and get along well, they would be able to achieve prosperity and strength.

Ji Shuisheng saw that the Emperor had already made up his mind. He slowly released the strength in his body and withdrew his killing intent. He looked at the old Emperor indifferently.

The old Emperor sighed when he saw Ji Shuisheng rid himself of his murderous aura. Forget it, forget it. He was the benefactor who saved his daughter. Moreover, Su Qing saved the Tartan Kingdom from danger. Killing him would be repaying kindness with ingratitude. What difference would it make to a villain?

After the old Emperor thought it through, his tone was very polite.

“Ji Shuisheng, please…Young Master Xiao, please return to the yurt room to rest first. Please don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

“Many thanks to the emperor’s insight and for clearing this lowly one’s name.”

Ji Shuisheng straightened his chest and thanked the Emperor loudly.

The old Emperor looked at Ji Shuisheng. He had used a knife to force him to kneel, but he still refused to kneel. Now that he had let him go, he was proud. The Emperor was very polite, but he did not immediately let Ji Shuisheng out of the palace and let him stay in the palace.

Ji Shuisheng was burning with anxiety. He was worried he would miss Su Qing, so he patiently waited for a day and a night. The Emperor ordered people to treat Ji Shuisheng as a distinguished guest, but he did not intend to let him go.

Ji Shuisheng did not want to wait any longer. He strode out of the yurt and said to the guards standing outside, “1 want to see the emperor.”

“The Emperor is busy with government affairs and doesn’t have time to see the young master. Please wait patiently.”

The soldiers were very polite. The old Emperor had thought things through. The ones sent to serve Ji Shuisheng spoke the language of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Ji Shuisheng raised his eyebrows. Was he trying to put him under house arrest?

“Then please report to the emperor that this Ji still has important matters to

attend to and must leave..”
