Because of the sudden rush in of the eldest princess, the room fell into an eerie silence. Even M's hand on the eldest princess's neck paused slightly.
Facing everyone's complicated gazes, Leng Yiyao has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.
The eldest princess, who had always had a royal demeanor and was graceful, almost knelt down at M's feet. She stared at Leng Yiyao miserably, as if looking at the only glimmer of hope in her life.
However, Leng Yiyao found this situation to be very strange.
In a rare moment of leisure, she pointed at M, who had done something, and then pointed at herself: "I wasn't the one who did it, what do you want me to do?"
To put it into perspective, she could count on ten fingers the number of times she had met the eldest princess. To put it bluntly, the Leng family has raised her for so many years, and she has never been soft when she strikes. However, the mother of this body is quite discerning and knows that she is not qualified to beg her, so she squeezes the persimmon tightly. Are you ready to start with her
She looked at the eldest princess with such a suspicious and even slightly amused look.
Such a look made all the royal guards watching feel weird, but made the eldest princess feel like she was falling into hell.
Nothing made her heart feel colder than these heartless eyes.
"I, I was sorry for you back then, but, she is your grandmother after all. Please, please, for the sake of her being your relative..." The eldest princess trembled, her tears hitting the soft wool on the ground drop by drop. But even so, he didn't dare to close his eyes.
Leng Yiyao thought this person was quite amusing. He was reasonable and just wanted to be pushed in a direction that was beneficial to him. When it came to others, shouldn't he be treated equally
"But the one who died was still my grandfather according to the blood relationship. Not to mention according to the royal law, even the family law, murder must be punished with life. She killed my grandfather and uncle. I should forgive them for the sake of her being a relative. Already?"
If this is the case, why do we need laws in this world
The eldest princess' breath suddenly caught in her throat, and she looked at Leng Yiyao blankly, as if she didn't understand her words, but also as if she understood, but couldn't refute a word.
Leng Yiyao smiled. In such a solemn atmosphere, her smile made people around her even more scared. Even as Lu Chen's captain of the bodyguard, he had seen her iron-blooded methods a long time ago. Seeing the smile on her face now, he felt like his heart was stabbed by ice.
"Let me put it another way. Putting aside the positions of the empire and neighboring countries, as the eldest princess, you were born into the imperial royal family. The offerings and supplies you received since childhood came from the empire. Now, your mother killed your father and admitted it herself. She is an imperial spy. You asked me to spare her life. Why don't you give me a high-sounding reason that can convince all the people?" She said calmly, as if she was preaching to an unreasonable child and clearing up doubts. Her eyes were black and white. Even with a sense of detachment from the world.
This kind of sobriety makes it difficult for people to connect her with the eldest princess on the ground. It was as if she had admitted from the beginning that the eldest princess was indeed her biological mother, but so what
This is completely different from her decision on whether the eldest princess deserves to die.
After all, what the princess committed was treason!
After M listened to what Leng Yiyao had to say, he didn't say what was right or wrong, and he didn't show any expression. He just raised his eyebrows slightly.
He finally understood why, when they first met in D city, he liked her so much.
They both have the same outlook on life.
In this world, is Leng Yiyao’s only blood relative the eldest princess? The two dead emperors were closer to her by blood, weren't they
The princess's plea seemed reasonable, but in fact, it made no sense at all.
As time passed, the congestion marks on the princess's face became more and more obvious, and there were even bruises under her eyes.
The eldest princess's desperate voice became more and more permeable, and Leng Yiyao blinked.
In this world, there always seems to be a preference for the weak. Obviously it was the eldest princess who did something wrong, but the eldest princess cried as if they were in the wrong.
M turned his head indifferently, looking indifferently at the princess who was struggling like an ant on her hands, while Leng Yiyao also stood there indifferently, as if the person kneeling and crying and praying had nothing to do with her.
Only the captain of the guard, who was standing closer, Qingyan saw Leng Yiyao's fingers trembling slightly.
His eyes were slightly sour, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for the dead Lu Chen, or sighing because he had seen His Majesty in a daze countless times, and he couldn't get what he asked for.
Even though Lu Chen could no longer hear him, deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but want to tell him: "Your Majesty, have you seen it? Miss Leng, after all, I still value you."
Compared to her biological mother who was born but not raised and who was like a stranger, Lu Chen, who she came into contact with again and again and gradually matured, was more important to Leng Yiyao.
The people around him were silent, and suddenly there was no sound. Leng Yiyao seemed to have noticed something, and just when she was about to turn her head, a warm hand suddenly blocked her sight and stopped quietly on her face: "At this time, you should ask me to come with you. "
A gentle, almost caressing voice sounded from my ears.
Leng Yiyao was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, a smile bloomed on her face.
This man always seemed to appear next to her when she thought of him...
