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!
