"Please ask the Grand Tutor to make the decision and ask the Emperor to deal with Ruan Xiaojiu."

At that moment, six or seven people stood up and all wanted Ruan Xiaojiu to die.

When Ruan Xiaojiu saw someone coming out to question her, she turned around and sat back in the gift box, curling the corners of her lips slightly, and looked coldly at the attitudes of Ruan Guolong and Ruan Siqi.

The emperor saw that there were more than ten people below who wanted to punish Ruan Xiaojiu, and even wanted Ruan Xiaojiu to die. His face darkened slightly. Seeing that Ruan Xiaojiu looked like he was watching a show, he glanced coldly at the people kneeling below.

The ministers below looked determined, and it seemed that they would not give up unless Ruan Xiaojiu was punished today.

"Kneel down if you want. I won't punish the Ninth Prince." Ruan Jun'an said angrily.

Even though he knew that some of Xiaojiu's actions were extreme, he would never punish her. Xiaojiu was not only his sister, but also the one who supported him to become emperor.

Seeing that Ruan Jun'an was not getting any attention, several ministers knelt down and bowed to Grand Tutor Ruan Guolong, saying, "Grand Tutor, please make a decision. Ruan Xiaojiu has killed innocent people and injured the princess for no reason. If even the Grand Tutor condones Ruan Xiaojiu, the Qin State will perish sooner or later, Grand Tutor."

Ruan Jun'an also looked at Ruan Guolong. He did not agree with what these old guys said. No matter how bad Xiaojiu was, she was still his sister. No matter how wrong she was, if no one provoked her, she would not kill or beat anyone at will.

As Grand Tutor, Ruan Guolong knew that whoever won the hearts of the people would rule the country, and that a prince who broke the law would be punished just like a commoner. After a moment's silence, the Grand Tutor spoke, "Although Ruan Xiaojiu's behavior was inappropriate, considering her young age and this being a first offense, we may as well give her a lighter sentence."

Ruan Xiaojiu sneered in her heart. It seemed that this old man was extremely dissatisfied with her.

However, the ministers refused to give in and continued to complain, "Grand Master, Ruan Xiaojiu is so audacious and reckless, and has a murderous nature. If he is not severely punished, how can we convince the people?"

Ruan Jun'an immediately responded, "She killed those who deserved to die. Xiaojiu's methods were swift and decisive, but that was due to her straightforward personality, and she was not at fault."

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaojiu felt satisfied, and it was worth it for her to try her best to clear the obstacles for him.

"Why is the emperor so partial to Ruan Xiaojiu? Every one of her crimes is punishable by death. Since the emperor cannot make decisions for the people, in my opinion, it would be better for him to abdicate and let others take over." said an official from the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Guolong was the first to stand up and said, "Are you planning to rebel?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites continued, "The Grand Tutor's words are wrong. Those who are capable should do more work. Since the Emperor cannot satisfy us, why not abdicate?

"Yes, abdicate, abdicate... We don't accept it. We don't accept it unless Ruan Xiaojiu is executed." The dozen or so officials who were kneeling below all stood up and shouted loudly. The sound echoed throughout the Golden Palace. They were all words asking Ruan Jun'an to abdicate or to punish Ruan Xiaojiu.

Yun Yizhou and others stood behind Ruan Xiaojiu and watched the show. After observing Ruan Xiaojiu for these days, they knew that those who opposed the emperor and wanted to kill Ruan Xiaojiu would not have a good end, so they just sat back and watched the show.

At this time, Feng Liushang and his companions inadvertently noticed that their parents, brothers and sisters were also watching the show below. Although they did not resent them for giving them to Ruan Xiaojiu as concubines, they had no intention of going over to greet them.

At this time, Feng Liushang discovered that his sister was also standing in the crowd not far away. He couldn't help but glance at Guan Qian'an. Sure enough, Guan Qian'an was looking at Feng Yuyan with sadness in his eyes. Feng Liushang ignored the two of them and continued to watch the show.

Princess Zidan and the envoys were all gloating over the chaotic scene. It was enough for them to talk about for a year. They had never expected that they would be able to witness such a wonderful scene when they came here for the marriage between the two countries.

Ruan Xiaojiu sat there, listening to their quarrel calmly with his eyes closed. In the end, it even escalated to a palace coup. These old guys really don't know how to live or die.

Ruan Guolong stood up angrily and pointed at the officials of the Ministry of Rites and cursed, "I really misjudged you. You are a bunch of traitors and rebels, how dare you openly force the emperor to abdicate? Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" Ruan Guolong was so angry that his beard trembled.

"Hmph, we are doing this for the sake of the country. If the emperor insists on protecting Ruan Xiaojiu, we can only find another wise leader." The official from the Ministry of Rites was not afraid.

"Well, since you're so stubborn, go find your so-called wise leader!" Ruan Guolong laughed in anger. "But before that, don't blame me for not reminding you. You want to kill Xiaojiu, but it's impossible in this lifetime. If you want to deal with the emperor, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying this, Ruan Guolong brushed his sleeves and sat back in his seat. The people in the center of the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. The throne room was momentarily deadlocked.

At this moment, the officials below exchanged glances. If they missed today, there would be no such good opportunity in the future. Should they oppose or not?

Finally, Su Wu stood up and said, "We will not give up until Ruan Xiaojiu is punished today."

"Yes, we will never give up."

"Apart from talking, do you have any practical ideas? If you want to kill me, come here. If you don't want to kill me, I will kill you. You are so indecisive. You are really nothing." Ruan Xiaojiu said impatiently.

When several officials heard Ruan Xiaojiu's voice, the hall fell silent. They all looked at Ruan Xiaojiu warily, fearing that he would be the first one to be strangled. After all, Ruan Xiaojiu loved strangling people the most.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you going to kill him or not?" Ruan Xiaojiu asked lazily.

An official, dissatisfied with Ruan Xiaojiu's intimidation, thought he had more people on his side than her, so he stood up and said, "Ruan Xiaojiu, you are arrogant and murderous. Not only do we want you dead, but the people of Qin also want you dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped, "How dare Lord Zheng say anything? Isn't he afraid that the murderous Ruan will kill his entire family?" someone whispered.

Ruan Xiaojiu narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Haha, haha, haha, "Is that so? You all want me to die, and the people of Qin also want me to die, right, Lord Zheng?"

Zheng felt a chill on his neck. He looked at the people standing next to him, only to find that they had already moved to the side, far away from him. Did he say something wrong? Is it too late to correct it now?
