Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Annulment of the Engagement (6)

Inside the hall, there were no civil or military officials present.

Aside from the Emperor with a gloomy face, there was the crying Empress Han, the Crown Prince, and Prince Rui. Of course, also present was the Imperial Forest Army General who had delivered the decree earlier.

It seemed that Emperor Qin Cang did not intend for this matter to be publicly tried.

Seeing this setup, Mu Qingge already understood Emperor Qin’s intentions. Indeed, if it were to be a public trial, the minor punishment for Han Sheng wouldn’t hold up.

Emperor Qin was a shrewd man. Since Han Sheng was dead, he naturally didn’t want to bear the stigma of protection.

"Mu Qingge, you killed a member of the royal family in public, do you know your crime?" Qin Cang directly gave a rebuke.

Mu Qingge responded confidently and proudly, "Your Majesty, I only sought justice for the Mu Family Army who perished in Yi City."

Qin Cang retorted, "Han Sheng’s dereliction of duty has already been dealt with by me. Even if you were dissatisfied, you should have come to me. Yet you murdered him in the street, completely disregarding the law. What does that make of me?"

Qin Cang was anxious. He had just discovered that Mu Qingge was not only not a waste, but a peerless genius. At fifteen, she was in the Green Realm, and news of it would undoubtedly shock the neighboring countries.

He wanted very much to kill her but couldn’t.

This time, the Mu Family Army suffered heavy losses, and Mu Xiong was already holding a grudge. If he were to deal with his cherished granddaughter, wouldn’t it force Mu Xiong into rebellion?

One Mu Xiong was not frightening, but there were hundreds of thousands in the Mu Family Army.

If chaos erupted in Qin Country, the neighboring countries, watching like hungry tigers, could easily tear Qin Country apart.

Thus, as the Emperor of Qin Country, he could only endure it helplessly.

Hmph! All because of the Empress’s doing!

Such disdainful behavior almost made the Empress tear the silk handkerchief in her hand to pieces in anger.

"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Han Sheng! Even if he deserved to die, it should have been by your decree. Being killed in public like this, how does that reflect on my Han Family?" The Empress wailed tearfully.

The Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu had somewhat recovered by this moment, standing by the Empress’s side, also watching Mu Qingge with a venomous gaze. On the contrary, Prince Rui Qin Jinhao remained unusually silent, lost in his own thoughts.

The Empress’s lament made Qin Cang frown, and his gaze at Mu Qingge became even more unfriendly.

At this point, Mu Xiong spoke, "Your Majesty, in this matter, Ge’er was a bit impulsive due to youth. However, the blood of tens of thousands of Mu Family Army soldiers cannot be shed in vain. Han Sheng must die to comfort the soldiers’ hearts. Now, Ge’er merely sent him on his way a bit prematurely. Though somewhat reckless, it has appeased the public sentiment, making them grateful to Your Majesty."

Grateful? Grateful my foot! Without your widespread propagation, what would those commoners know?

Qin Cang wished to curse out loud but had to hold it in.
