Su Xiaoxiao didn’t notice what it was, but she quickly knew.

The commotion was too big. Emperor Jing Xuan and the envoy of Northern Yan, who were discussing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, rushed over. Three princes came with them—Xiao Duye, Xiao Shunyang, and Xiao Zhonghua.

“General Li!”

An envoy looked at the disheveled man on the ground and exclaimed.

Emperor Jing Xuan and Helian Ye’s expressions turned ugly.

This was the harem. No matter who they were and if they were allies or fighting, it was impossible for Emperor Jing Xuan to be happy.

Similarly, Helian Ye was a little embarrassed that his subordinate had barged into someone else’s harem.

Emperor Jing Xuan’s gaze swept across Su Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao.

Princess Hui An grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s hand protectively. “Father, Qin Su entered the palace to change my dressing. She only heard the commotion here after changing.”

In other words, Su Cheng’s matter had nothing to do with Su Xiaoxiao.

Emperor Jing Xuan did not speak. He pretended not to see Bai Xihe behind the flowers and asked Su Cheng, “Protector Duke, what happened?”

Su Cheng glared at General Li, who had been helped up by his colleague, and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, “I realized that a thief had sneaked into the harem, so I came over to arrest him. If he doesn’t surrender, I can only use force.”

General Li’s mouth was covered in blood as he shouted in pain, “Nonsense! You clearly beat me up…”

“Shut up!” Helian Ye stopped his deputy general.

General Li shut up resentfully.

Helian Ye cupped his hands at Emperor Jing Xuan. “Your Majesty, I didn’t do well under my rule and actually allowed him to barge into the harem when he was drunk. I apologize to you here. This person has committed a huge mistake. I won’t tolerate it. Please allow me to bring him back to the posthouse and punish him severely!”

The Grand Empress Dowager had been offended. Although Emperor Jing Xuan could expose General Li’s crime, if word got out, it would damage the Grand

Empress Dowager’s reputation, and this concerned the face of the royal family.

Emperor Jing Xuan said authoritatively, “Since General Helian has spoken, let General Helian deal with this person.”

Helian Ye cupped his hands again to show his respect.

After all, this time, Northern Yan was indeed in the wrong.

After leaving the palace, General Li was still a little indignant. “General, I was just..

Helian Ye interrupted him coldly. “A hundred military strokes! Retreat to your official position in Northern Yan!”

General Li was stunned.

It was fine if it was a hundred military rods. He was a general and could withstand it with his thick skin, but it was too ruthless to dismiss him.

“General! ”

He had drunk a few more glasses at noon. When he was drunk, he saw a beauty walking past the harem. It was a beauty he had never seen before. He rushed over—

“I didn’t do anything, General!”

It was just a few… harmless words.

Helian Ye more or less understood his deputy general’s morals, but he had not gone too far in the past.

He asked, “Do you know who that woman is?”

“Who is it?” General Li muttered.

Helian Ye said coldly, “The Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou!” General Li’s face turned pale with shock!

Seeing that the other party was young and beautiful, he thought that she was just a new concubine. Was she actually the Grand Empress Dowager?

How could she be… so young?

Bai Xihe was Emperor Jing Yan’s new empress. She had just turned 13 when she married Emperor Jing Yan. Now that 19 years had passed, she was only 32 years old.

Indeed, she was not like a woman in her thirties. Time had not left any traces on her face, and no one would suspect that she wasn’t in her early twenties.

General Li finally realized what a heinous crime he had committed.

Helian Ye expected better from him and said, “If not for the fact that the Great Zhou Emperor doesn’t want to blow things up, a hundred heads wouldn’t be enough for him to chop off!”

General Li was completely speechless.

On the other side, Emperor Jing Xuan and the Grand Empress Dowager met. “We’ve frightened the Grand Empress Dowager,” he said with a hint of guilt.

“It’s fine,” Bai Xihe said calmly.

There were some things that did not need to be exposed. Emperor Jing Xuan exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Grand Empress Dowager before returning to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to continue entertaining the ambassador.

Xiao Duye did not have a deep relationship with the Grand Empress Dowager.

When he saw her during the New Year and holidays, he bowed. That was all. Seeing that his father did not pursue the matter, he did not take it to heart.

Xiao Zhonghua was concerned about Su Cheng. Su Cheng expressed that he was fine and nodded. “Then I’ll leave first.”

Xiao Shunyang stayed. He did not agree with his father’s actions today.

Li offended the Grand Empress Dowager and should be executed according to the law. It was too light a punishment to just beat him up.

When she arrived home, Wei Ting was not back yet. It seemed that the negotiations with the envoy today were very intense. No wonder Emperor Jing Xuan was not in the mood to deal with Bai Xihe. He had probably been provoked by government affairs. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
