Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Shuisheng thought the Emperor was using his words to insult Saiya, so he took the kick head-on and did not resist. He looked at the Emperor fearlessly,

“If the emperor is here for this matter, I feel I’m not wrong.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong?”

The Emperor was furious. He said that he was not wrong? Could it be that bullying the princess of Tartar was nothing in his eyes?

“I’ll kill you.”

The Emperor drew the sword hanging on the tent and walked towards Ji Shuisheng, wanting to kill him directly.

“Emperor, you can’t.”

Consort Li cried out in alarm and came over to stop the Emperor.

“Beloved consort, don’t stop Zhen.”

The Emperor was so angry that his entire body was trembling, but he was afraid of hurting Consort Li, so he did not move.

“Don’t!”

Saiya was terrified. She wanted to marry Ji Shuisheng, not kill him. She hurriedly rushed over and spread her arms before Ji Shuisheng, crying and begging for mercy.

When Ji Shuisheng saw Saiya with messy hair, he suddenly understood why the Emperor was so angry. He was instantly furious and scolded the princess without any restraint,

“Princess, this lowly one has already made it very clear. I already have Qing’er and will never marry you.”

“You?”

Saiya saw that Ji Shuisheng still did not change his mind even when it was time for him to die. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and squeezed out,

“Since you want to die, I’ll fulfil your wish.”

Consort Li could tell that something was wrong. From what they said, it seemed like the princess was begging Ji Shuisheng to marry her, but Ji Shuisheng already had a lover and refused!

The princess pretended that she had been insulted by Ji Shuisheng and asked the Emperor to force Ji Shuisheng to marry her.

This was subverting Consort Li’s worldview. Could a royal princess be so shameless?

In his rage, the Emperor did not understand his daughter and Ji Shuisheng’s words. He thought Ji Shuisheng had taken advantage of her and did not want to take responsibility, so he became even more furious. He gloomily looked at Ji Shuisheng and ordered outside the palace,

“Men, drag Ji Shuisheng out and kill him!”

Before this, the old Emperor admired Ji Shuisheng and thought he was a rare talent. He was both bold and ambitious. He still had the intention to rope in this young man.

However, his daughter was his darling. Ji Shuisheng had taken advantage of the princess after drinking. Originally, what was done was done. He could only marry the princess to him. However, this person was arrogant and did not want to take responsibility?

At this moment, the Emperor was just an ordinary father who loved his daughter. In his rage, he only wanted to vent his anger for his daughter.

“Your Majesty, you can’t. If you kill Ji Shuisheng, what will happen to the princess?”

Consort Li didn’t dare to speak up for Ji Shuisheng now. If she said that the princess had shamelessly made up a lie to marry Ji Shuisheng, the Emperor wouldn’t believe it and would instead be angry with her, thinking that she was targeting the princess.

Therefore, she could only use the princess as an excuse.

“Everyone who knows about today’s incident will be silenced. No one will know about this.”

The Emperor was also a ruthless person. This concerned the reputation of the royal family. Such a shameful scandal must not be leaked so that no guard could be left tonight.

Since no one knew, the princess was still a virgin and could marry.

Saiya’s face was as white as paper. Since Ji Shuisheng was so heartless, please don’t blame her for being cruel. He deserved to die. She was willing to serve him as her husband, but he didn’t want her. This is a great insult to the proud Saiya.

Therefore, even though she still could not bear to part with Ji Shuisheng, she did not speak up to plead for him.

Seeing that the Emperor had already decided, Consort Li’s face turned pale, and her heart burned with anxiety. It seemed that the Emperor’s killing intent had not been extinguished.

What should she do? What should she do?

Consort Li saw that the guards had already come in and were about to take Ji Shuisheng away. She wanted to plead with the Emperor, but seeing the Emperor’s gloomy face looking at her, Consort Li could only swallow the words about to come out of her mouth and look at Ji Shuisheng sympathetically. She had an idea and advised Ji Shuisheng to endure it for now and avoid this fatal disaster.

“Young Master Ji, the princess is deeply in love with you. Why don’t you…”

However, just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Ji Shuisheng’s wild laughter.

“Haha…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Emperor thought that Ji Shuisheng would kneel and plead for mercy, but not only did he not plead for mercy, he even laughed at the sky. Was he not afraid of death?

The Emperor looked at Ji Shuisheng with a gloomy face.

“You’re still laughing when you’re about to die?”

“I laughed at myself for being blind. I thought you were an ancient emperor and a wise ruler. Now, it seems that you’re just so-so. You didn’t even investigate properly and casually concluded because the princess is your daughter. You know she’s lying, but you still help her do evil. Hahaha, I’m not convinced.”

Ji Shuisheng stopped laughing and looked at the Emperor with burning eyes.

“I hate myself for being a busybody. Why should I save a poisonous snake and let her turn around and bite me?”

“Ji Shuisheng, who are you calling a poisonous snake?”

When Saiya heard Ji Shuisheng scolding her, she was so angry that her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she pointed at him angrily.

“I’m talking about you, despicable scoundrel. I saved you twice, but in exchange, you falsely accused me. This Ji will not submit to your tyranny. In this lifetime, 1 won’t marry anyone other than Qing’er.”

Ji Shuisheng looked at Saiya contemptuously and did not care about her angry rebuke. He directly scolded her and exposed her despicable thoughts. He now told her that she did not enter his eyes at all.

Ji Shuisheng’s blatant contempt shattered Saiya’s heart. Her face was pale, and she staggered. Her eyes were filled with despair, sadness, and anger as she glared at Ji Shuisheng.

She loved and wanted to marry him even if she had to fight against her father. In the end, she couldn’t even enter his eyes. This was a great insult to her.

Saiya looked sadly at Ji Shuisheng, who looked down on her and gritted her teeth in hatred. She slowly but venomously said,

“Fine, since you don’t know how to appreciate kindness, go to the netherworld and reunite with your Qing’er. 1 swear on Longevity Heaven that I will tear the person you love into pieces.”

“Hmph, ants want to shake elephants? You overestimate yourself. Do you think you can hurt my Qing’er?”

Ji Shuisheng did not get angry when he heard Saiya’s vicious words. Instead, he laughed as if he had heard the greatest joke. His Qing’er could single-handedly take on thousands of troops, so who was Saiya? He even wanted to tear Qing’er into pieces.

This time, Consort Li was 100% sure of her suspicions. Saiya had indeed framed Ji Shuisheng. She was not afraid of the Emperor’s blame and stood up to say to the Emperor,

“Emperor, please think twice. You have seen Su Qing’s ability. If she knew you killed her fiance, our Tartan Kingdom would be in great trouble.”

The Emperor was not a foolish ruler. He had believed his daughter’s words in a fit of anger. After all, no woman would use her reputation to frame others.

However, judging from Ji Shuisheng’s fearless and open appearance, his daughter’s eyes filled with hatred because of her love, and her attitude of implicating Su Qing, it was obvious that something was wrong.

“You guys can leave.”

The Emperor chased the guards out. He calmed down and returned to his throne. He looked at Saiya with a heavy gaze.

Saiya’s beautiful face was twisted ferociously. She glared at Ji Shuisheng with a mixture of love and hate in her eyes. Large drops of tears fell. Obviously, she loved Ji Shuisheng very much but could not get him. She was sad, resentful, and exasperated..
