"Take her away!" The Emperor of Beiyue felt a headache and did not want to argue with Concubine Duan in the court anymore.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything. The execution of Prince Jing is what everyone wants. Even though he is the emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants.

The imperial guards obeyed the order and forcibly dragged Xie Tingyu away.

Concubine Duan stumbled and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by two other guards.

Since the sword was not unsheathed, the guards did not have to worry about hurting Concubine Duan. No matter how she kicked, punched, or forced her way through, she could not get through.

Concubine Duan stretched out her hands to her son and cried desperately: "Yu'er, Yu'er..."

Xie Tingyu's face was also covered with tears: "Mother, please save me, I don't want to die, Mother--"

However, he was soon dragged out of the hall, and the crying and shouting gradually faded away.

Concubine Duan slumped to the ground, still sobbing, "Your Majesty, Yu'er is my only son, you are trying to kill me!"

The Emperor of Beiyue cruelly turned his head away and said, "Come here, send Concubine Duan back to Xiyue Palace."

Concubine Duan was sobbing and was being taken away from the hall. Suddenly, she saw Shen Nanxing kneeling steadily in the center of the hall with an indifferent expression.

Her expression suddenly became crazy. She struggled to break free from the two eunuchs who were supporting her and pounced towards Shen Nanxing.

"Bitch, you're the one who killed my Yu'er. I'm going to beat you to death!"

The expressions of Grand Tutor Xu and Duke Xu changed drastically, but Concubine Duan's outburst was sudden and she was already very close, so it was too late to stop her.

As court officials, they could not use their hands to pull away the emperor's concubines. They were extremely anxious but had no idea what to do.

Lord Shen shouted: "Nanxing, be careful!"

Shen Nanxing looked coldly at Concubine Duan who was rushing towards him. Although he couldn't fight back, it was not difficult to dodge the attack of a crazy woman.

However, she had just taken a deep breath and was about to move.

A dark shadow flashed over, stood in front of her, and kicked her without hesitation.

Concubine Duan was kicked out and fell to the ground. She spat out a mouthful of blood and landed on the white jade floor, which was a shocking sight.

The court officials were all stunned. This...

Beat His Majesty's favorite concubine in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the court?

Who is so bold? I guess he doesn't want to live anymore.

But after seeing who was beating the man, the court officials felt it was natural.

Yes, Jiu Qian Sui has always had a bad temper, so nothing he does is strange.

Shen Nanxing secretly twitched her lips. Beating the emperor's favorite concubine in the court, Fu Jiuli really opened her eyes...

However, considering His Majesty's indulgence towards Fu Jiuli, he should not bother with him.

You can tell by the reaction of the court officials. After all, even Liu Yushi, who always loves to impeach people, is now hiding his head like a quail, afraid of being noticed...

As expected, the Emperor of Beiyue took a look at the situation at the scene, his expression was calm, and he simply ordered: "Take Concubine Duan away."

Concubine Duan suddenly looked up, looking at the Emperor of Beiyue with disbelief. There was still blood on the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Your Majesty, as the emperor of a country, you are actually afraid of a eunuch to this extent!"

"No wonder you can't even protect your own son, hahahahahaha!"

The court officials were all so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

They usually only dare to think about such things in their minds, who dares to speak them out?

This Concubine Duan is really not caring about her life...

It seems that Concubine Duan will not survive this night.

The ministers looked at Concubine Duan with pity in their eyes.

Shen Nanxing keenly noticed that the man in black standing in front of him with his back to him stiffened.

His fingers hanging at his sides curled slightly.

Her heart ached instantly, and she glared at Concubine Duan with cold eyes: "Empress Duan, your son has committed treason and treason, killing tens of thousands of North Vietnamese civilians. He deserves death! His Majesty has wisely sentenced your son to be executed in the autumn, which is what everyone wants."

"As for you, as a concubine, you trespassed into the imperial court and interfered with state affairs, which should be severely punished. Especially since you intended to murder an imperial official. If you succeed, you will be sentenced to death!"

"Now that the Ninth Prince has kindly tried to stop you from committing a capital crime, you are still slandering him and even defaming His Majesty. You are truly worse than pigs and dogs!"

Shen Nanxing's voice was clear and his aura was compelling. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire court became unspeakably quiet.

She looked at the man in front of her carefully, still feeling uneasy.

Concubine Duan spoke nonsense, and she helped him vent his anger. Isn't he sad now?

But I can't see his face, so I don't know if he's still unhappy...

The Emperor of Beiyue's face, which had just turned pale due to Concubine Duan's words, now recovered a little.

He looked at Concubine Duan with eyes that no longer held the warmth they once had. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Take Concubine Duan away and give her thirty lashes of the cane!"

Seeing the Imperial Guards approaching again, Concubine Duan shouted, "Wait!"

She glanced at Shen Nanxing with a resentful look, then turned around and kowtowed heavily to the Emperor of Beiyue, imitating the way court officials bowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since Yu'er has been sentenced to death, then Shen Nanxing, as the Princess of Jing, should be punished as well!"

"Your Majesty, please put Shen Nanxing in jail as well!"

She pointed her hand fiercely at Shen Nanxing, with a ferocious look as if she wanted to cut him into pieces.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Beiyue looked a little grim.

Grand Tutor Xu, Duke Xu, and Old Marquis Shen were not panicked at all.

Others may not know, but they do know that Nanxing has already divorced Prince Jing, so what is there to be afraid of?

Seeing that His Majesty was silent and no one in the court spoke, Concubine Duan glanced around with jealous eyes, then stood up and sneered, "What do you mean?"

Looking at the court officials standing beside her with their arms folded, Concubine Duan laughed crazily: "Don't you all call yourselves upright? What? My son has committed a capital crime. As his daughter-in-law, shouldn't Shen Nanxing be punished as well?"

Her eyes caught sight of Fu Jiuli, who was standing in front of Shen Nanxing and protecting her. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly changed direction as if to rush towards Shen Nanxing.

But just as she took a step, she saw the man in black turn around and isolate Shen Nanxing behind her from her.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Concubine Duan burst into crazy laughter again, pointing at the court officials: "So that's how it is, no wonder you all want to protect Shen Nanxing!"

"So Shen Nanxing is having an affair with Jiu Qian Sui. You're afraid of Jiu Qian Sui and don't dare to offend him, so none of you are willing to speak a fair word, right?"

She spread her hands and laughed heartily: "My huge country of North Vietnam is actually controlled by a eunuch. North Vietnam is in danger!"

The Emperor of Beiyue couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked down and kicked Concubine Duan on the buttocks, and Concubine Duan fell to the ground again.

She supported herself with her hands and looked at Emperor Beiyue stubbornly, tears in her eyes: "Am I wrong? Otherwise, why don't you punish Shen Nanxing? Ah?"

The Emperor of Beiyue closed his eyes and said, "What nonsense!"

"Shen Nanxing and Prince Jing have already divorced, so why is he implicated?"
