Lin Sisi lowered her gaze. “Emperor, it is my fault for taking a life, but this maid deserved to die!”
“Even if my maid deserved to die, it is not your place to take action!” Han Yuwen angrily retorted.
“The princess is right, but the princess has offended a noble daughter of our Great Cheng Dynasty. Should I make a move against you? Sisi doesn’t have that status, but I’m giving you face by attacking your maid!”
Lin Sisi pointed her sword at Feng Qing’s corpse.” 1 am General Lin’s legitimate daughter. This mere maid insulted the noble daughter in the Great Cheng Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with me killing her!” It’s just that the blood splattered in the main hall and stained the emperor’s eyes. I’m indeed guilty and hope that the emperor will punish me.”
Lin Sisi knelt, seeking punishment. Her words were both tactful and defended the honor of the Great Cheng Dynasty. Han Yuwen could only swallow her frustration.
Chu Mingyuan was satisfied with her response.
Although he intended to punish Lin Sisi, he said, “Lin Sisi, for killing in front of the palace, you are disrespectful. 1 hereby ground you for three months, and you are not allowed to leave the residence without an edict. Leave the banquet immediately and return to your residence.”
Chu Mingyuan’s punishment was a face-saving measure for Han Yuwen.
Looking at Han Yuwen, he added, “The maid is dead. I hope the princess can find solace. I will have the empress select an outstanding maid to present to the princess.”
“Emperor, is this punishment not too lenient? Lin Sisi has taken a life, and she’s only grounded?” The empress, harboring hatred towards Su Yingxue, despised anyone associated with her.
Su Yingxue lowered her head and chuckled. The empress was walking right into Chu Mingyuan’s trap.
Chu Mingyuan was displeased. He gave the empress a fierce glare. “As the ruler of a nation, how can 1 backtrack on my decision?”
“Emperor…” The empress wanted to argue further, but Chu Mingyuan’s stern gaze silenced her.
Chu Chengye, showing wisdom, stepped forward and calmly stated, “Mother, there are still maids in my residence skilled in martial arts. I will personally present them to the princess for selection, ensuring her satisfaction.”
Chu Mingyuan stroked his beard. “Yes, Ye’er is considerate.”
Despite the empress’s foolishness, he had a son who pleased Chu Mingyuan.
Chu Chengye also advised the empress not to provoke Chu Mingyuan again.
Reluctantly, the empress had to give up.
As Lin Sisi was about to leave the palace, Chu Yihan suddenly spoke, “Wait.”
Everyone’s breath caught. Lin Sisi turned around, surprised. “What is it, Your Highness?”
“This sword, 1 bestow upon you.”
Chu Yihan waved his hand, and Mo Qi approached Lin Sisi with a treasured sword. Lin Sisi, looking at the golden dragon pattern on the hilt, immediately knelt. “This is a relic of the late emperor. 1 dare not… Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness!”
“Phew…”
Although others might not recognize it, when Lin Sisi said those words, they collectively gasped.
“The late emperor’s sword. Your Highness is so generous to bestow it upon Miss Lin!” Zhilan exclaimed in Su Yingxue’s ear.
Su Yingxue looked at Chu Yihan. There was no expression on his handsome face. She heard him say calmly, “You deserve my reward.”
Such a casually spoken sentence carried his unique aura and was especially intense.
Lin Sisi’s eyes turned red. She raised her hands above her head, eager to receive the sword from Mo Qi.
Others may not have known, but she knew that the late emperor was highly skilled in martial arts and had a strong affection for sword techniques. That was why he collected renowned blades from all over the world. This particular one was a favorite of the late emperors, and when her father brought her into the palace, she had the privilege to see it..
