But Shen Guang's order had just been issued.

Chief Justice Bai Bo of the Supreme Court of the Seven Parallel Universes jumped out impatiently to speak out.

"My Lord, this is absolutely not allowed."

Shen Guang raised his hand and touched his eyebrows: "Why not?"

Bai Bo: "My Lord, treason and regicide are the most heinous crimes. Even if Princess Yanyue was only an attempted criminal, her nature is very bad and has a great social impact. She should be severely punished according to the law. Before, you sent her away despite my opposition because of the father-daughter relationship. I feel deeply derelict in my duty. Now, less than four years have passed since the incident, and you want to forgive all her sins. Isn't this too much?"

Shen Guang: "If I remember correctly, according to the laws in the universe code, as the Lord, I can pardon one criminal every ten years if there are sufficient reasons."

"It just so happens that I have never used this privilege. I used it today. It shouldn't be illegal, right? Do you have any objection?"

Bai Bo: "Your Majesty has just said that the prerequisite for amnesty is sufficient reasons. I dare to ask, what sufficient reasons do you have to pardon Her Highness Yanyue?"

Shen Guang's face gradually turned cold, but he still said calmly: "I feel sorry for my child. Is this an acceptable reason?"

Bai Bo continued to argue: "Excuse me for being blunt, but you are violating the law by doing this."

Shen Guang's voice gradually increased: "Am I usually too tolerant of those of you who dare to speak out? You have to argue with me, right?"

But then, Shen Guang changed the subject: "Well, since you insist on saying so, then follow the law in the Universal Code [When the monarch and his subjects disagree on military and national affairs, they shall vote by raising their hands, and the minority shall obey the majority]."

"Those who agree with my pardoning Yanyue, please stand to my right. Those who disagree, please stand behind Judge Bai."

As a result, almost all senior officials and clan leaders stood on Shen Guang's right hand side.

But there were still two people standing behind Bai Bo.

But these two people made Shen Guang feel uneasy.

Because standing behind him were Tianyu and Xuehuang.

Tianyu and Xuehuang knew very well that they had offended Yanyue a long time ago. If she regained Shen Guang's forgiveness, they would be in trouble.

So even if I have to disobey Shen Guang this time, I have to give it a try.

But they never expected that they were the only ones who chose to oppose. This was too unreasonable. Logically speaking, Yanyue's relationship with these people was not good, right? If they had known the result would be like this, they might as well agree. After all, the minority obeys the majority. It was useless for them to oppose like this, and it would only stand out...

Shen Guang: "The result is clear at a glance. Do you have any objections?"

Bai Bo: "Well, since everyone thinks so, I have nothing to say, but, my Lord, I hope you won't do it again."

As soon as the voice fell, the Silver Fox Clan leader Hu Mo could no longer bear it: "Bai Bo, you are too presumptuous. Is this the attitude of a subject talking to a monarch? My Lord, please punish him according to the law and punish him severely!"

However, Shen Guang raised his hand to signal him to stop talking.

"Chief Fox, what are you talking about? How can I punish people for their words? Isn't that blocking people from speaking out? Pass the decree. Bai Amber has been loyal to his duties, has not been afraid of power, and has dared to speak out. He shall be rewarded with a box of jewels."

"As for Tianyu and Xuehuang, each of them will be rewarded with a blue gem."

"In fact, I was indeed willful this time. I promise to Judge Bai that this is only the first time and it will not happen again. I hope Judge Bai will forgive me." After saying that, Shen Guang stood up and bowed to Bai Bo to apologize.

Bai Bo quickly returned the greeting: "My Lord, your words are too kind. How can I accept this?"

After Shen Guang sat back down, he said, "From now on, you must still speak freely and without scruples at the court meetings and correct my mistakes. Do you understand?"

"We understand!" everyone responded in unison.
