The whole hall was silent.

There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the hall. The expressions on everyone's face were different, but they all looked towards Nan Gubei.

Even the emperor didn't breathe, and his hands were squeezed so nervously that they turned red.

The emperor was worried that given Nan Gubei's temper, he might turn hostile on the spot.

After all, in Nan Gubei's opinion, all those who have been engaged to Nan Mo have always been juniors. Not only are none of the juniors worry-free, but now the emperor's uncle is actually coveting his future daughter-in-law. How can Nan Gubei tolerate this?

The emperor was really worried that things would not end well.

Before Nan Gubei could speak, Ji Chen spoke again, "Is His Royal Highness Prince You forcing a marriage? I have heard these days that the one betrothed to Miss Nan is His Royal Highness's adopted son Zi Heng. How could His Royal Highness say such unethical words today? Could it be..."

"Ji Chen, do you really think that I don't know about your little tricks?"

Gong Chenyu interrupted Ji Chen, raised his eyebrows, narrowed his cold eyes, and swept his extremely cold gaze towards everyone.

"I didn't know there was such a rumor. Everyone in the capital knows about the engagement between Prince You's Mansion and the General's Mansion. So the King of Japan went to propose marriage in person with a red doll, what does it have to do with Gong Heng?"

The court officials looked at each other, recalling that day, and indeed they did not see Gong Heng show up. If His Royal Highness Prince You was going to propose to his adopted son, how could Gong Heng, as the protagonist, not show up?

When the engagement was announced, it only mentioned Prince You's Mansion and the General's Mansion, but it did not directly state who in Prince You's Mansion had the engagement with the General's Mansion.

Everyone thought that it was the engagement between the adopted son and Nan Mo. No matter it was Gong Zhan at the beginning or Gong Heng now, it seemed that Prince You's Mansion had never positively confirmed the person who had an engagement with Nan Mo from the beginning to the end.

So when the engagement was presented that day, everyone subconsciously thought that Gong Heng and Nan Mo were getting engaged, but the fact was that King You and Nan Mo were getting engaged.

Now think about it, how could a mere adopted son of Prince You's Mansion deserve the proposal from His Highness Prince You, who is always murderous, cruel and unkind, and the betrothal gift is a ten-mile red dowry that has never appeared in recent years.

The court officials realized instantly that they had been misjudging it before.

In addition, the Northern Di envoys were so aggressive at this time that they seemed determined to marry their princess to King You. Considering that King You was not only the god of war of Great Xia, but also the pillar of support for Great Xia, how could they allow a princess from an enemy country to marry into King You's mansion openly?

Then they echoed one after another. The betrothal that caused a sensation in the entire capital that day was the engagement between His Royal Highness Prince You and Nan Mo, the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion.

Ji Chen's eyes darkened instantly, and the coldness revealed in his black eyes almost froze everyone.

Finally, he was pulled to sit down by his trusted envoy.

Ji Que snorted coldly, his eyes were as dark as the night, he glared at Ji Chen fiercely, and then cast a warning look at the Seventh Princess in the center of the hall.

The Seventh Princess gathered her thoughts and stood up, pointing directly at Nan Gubei and saying loudly, "I want to marry him."

The hall, which had just been quiet, became silent again.

Just as everyone accepted the marriage proposal between Prince You's Mansion and the General's Mansion and changed from adopted son to adopted father, the Seventh Princess dropped another bomb on everyone.

Nan Gubei was stunned. It was only after Nan Mo's reminder that he suddenly stood up. His pupils shrank slightly inadvertently, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Marry your mother's bullshit, are all you Beidi girls shameless? From the beginning, you wanted to enter our Majesty's harem and move to Prince You's Mansion, and now you want to marry into the General's Mansion. You really think you are so popular that you can marry whoever you want!"

Nan Gubei scolded the Seventh Princess without any mercy. After he had scolded her enough, he glanced at the obviously frightened Seventh Princess.

"Girls from good families are not as shameless as the Seventh Princess. I am more than qualified to be your father, so don't disgust me by staying here!"

After sitting down, he picked up the glass and drank it all, cursing inwardly: "What bad luck!"

The ministers all turned a blind eye to Nan Gubei's outrageous behavior in the hall. After all, they had seen such scenes before. Since the emperor didn't say anything, they naturally decided to mind their own business.

Ji Que narrowed his eyes slightly, and the two dark black pupils in his narrow eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

In a flash, he smiled again, "I have heard a little about the love between General Nan and Madam Nan, but after all, Madam Nan has passed away for a long time, and General Nan should have a warm-hearted person by his side who understands his feelings."

"Why do you mind my business? If I want to marry you, why don't I marry you?"

Nan Gubei was really furious today and had no place to vent his anger, while the eldest prince of Beidi was rushing towards the gun.

Ji Que had already clenched his fist with one hand behind his back, but he still had a smile on his face, "General Nan, you are joking. Xiao Qi is my biological sister."

Without waiting for Nan Gubei to retort, he hurriedly said, "General Nan, you'd better not be so sure. Otherwise, take a look at the appearance of my Seventh Princess of Beidi first."

Ji Que's words made everyone understand that the real purpose of the Beidi envoys coming to marry was to target Nan Gubei.

The next moment, the Seventh Princess in the center of the hall slowly took off the veil on her face, and a face that was no less stunning than Nan Mo appeared in front of everyone.

However, the temperament she exudes is not only timid but also has a green tea flavor, which is not worthy of such a stunning face.

The moment Nan Gubei raised his eyes, his whole body tensed up.

Nan Mo's soft voice reached his ears, "Daddy, the face on the other side that looks so much like mommy is..."

Before he could finish his words, the wine glass in Nan Gubei's hand had been thrown away.

"boom……"

The wine glass hit the Seventh Princess' forehead, and blood immediately oozed out of her forehead.

Nan Gubei stood up slowly, his whole body was filled with ruthless murderous aura, just like a Shura on the battlefield, his eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice, "You dare to show up with a face similar to Han Yan, you will die today."

The Seventh Princess never expected that Nan Gubei would want to kill her after seeing her face. This was completely different from what they had originally expected.

She was so confused that she hurried to see the eldest prince. Ji Que was also very surprised, but soon he sneered, "The court situation in your country really makes me laugh. The ministers dare to speak so arrogantly in front of the emperor and despise the emperor's authority. Does it mean that the court of Daxia Kingdom is ruled by the ministers?"

The other court officials all held their breath in silence. They had witnessed Nan Gubei's arrogance on weekdays, but since the emperor said nothing, they could only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Now that someone has exposed the truth, they are of course happy to see it happen and watch the fire from the other side of the river, as long as the fire doesn't burn them.

Just when everyone thought that the emperor would scold a few more times for the sake of his face.

The emperor sneered and said, "Your Highness, please think about whether you can save the life of your Seventh Princess of Beidi today. You are not allowed to worry about how the court of our Great Xia Kingdom is doing.

But I would like to kindly remind you that General Nan always keeps his word."
