"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The hymns of worship from all the officials echoed melodiously, resounding throughout the entire hall.

Then, from the high and distant throne, a deep and powerful imperial command came: "All the nobles, please stand up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall changed slightly, and then the process of discussing politics began.

Tianlai Palace!

As a symbol of the power of the Apocalypse Dynasty, it is grand in scale and majestic. In front of the main hall, three wide porches are like a natural moat, cleverly separating the world from the palace.

At this moment, more than a dozen people with different expressions stood on the central corridor. They were all palace guards with strong martial arts skills. Their identities were similar, and they were all guard leaders of their respective families. Shen Nianyi was leaning against the wall alone at this time. He seemed to be inconspicuous, but the bright crimson flying fish suit on his body was particularly frightening. Su Jing and Shen Qiansi were led to a corner of the side hall, waiting for the holy call.

As she was in this place, although she could vaguely hear the long and complicated speeches of the court officials in the main hall (it was not that she could not hear them clearly, but that she really did not want to hear them), her mind had already wandered. She stared at the system screen that only she could see, and finally she could not stand the boredom anymore, so she slowly closed her eyes and immersed herself in the tranquility of her heart.

Just at this moment, several barely perceptible prying intentions quietly gathered like an undercurrent and focused on her.

Xiaoxi's voice, with a hint of anger, rang out in the spiritual realm, revealing his dissatisfaction with the offender: "These guys dared to stare at the master so rudely, they are really tired of living!"

Xiao Niu immediately echoed, his voice full of regret: "If I could get out, I would have taught them a lesson long ago."

He rubbed his brows lightly and said sarcastically in his spiritual screen: "You two have been quite lively lately." These two have been very noisy these days!

When these words were spoken, the calf and the rhino were both stunned, and then they smiled at each other, mistakenly thinking that the master was praising their liveliness.

"Look at that person over there, with a tall and straight figure, isn't she the 'double-door refrigerator' that the owner likes? Such a figure is really attractive." Xiao Niu's words broke the silence again, with a hint of teasing in his words.

When Shen Nian heard the phrase "the master's favorite double-door refrigerator", her sharp eyebrows slightly frowned, and she smiled bitterly in her heart. This "double-door refrigerator" metaphor was originally a joke with Wei Linyuan in the military camp, but she didn't expect that these two people would say it so obscenely. Of course, at this time, she didn't feel how excited she was when she complained to them. And even Lord Noctis would occasionally use this to amuse her.

She had a cold face, resisting the urge to look at the male beauty, and did not open her eyes to check, only to hear Xiao Xi say again: "No, no, the one over there is more outstanding, not only is the front open, but the buttocks are also tight and well-shaped, perfect."

Finally, she was helpless. She sighed softly and whispered in the mental channel: "Enough, let me rest." Because she had indulged in murderous intent before, she began to feel a little tired after receiving divine punishment several times. It was then that the system jumped out to remind her that the divine punishment whip not only affected her body, but her mental strength and even the system would be weakened.

After he finished speaking, his ears finally returned to silence again, with only the sound of court officials discussing politics echoing in the air.

Just at this moment, there was a commotion in the inner hall.

"I implore Your Majesty to severely punish Captain Wei for his mistakes!" His voice was as loud as a bell.

Then, several voices of agreement surged like a tide, "I second the motion!" "I also second the motion!

"Accompanied by the subtle sounds of sleeves fluttering and knees touching the ground, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Shen Nianyi's figure quietly moved from the dark corner to the side of the palace door, but he did not easily reveal his true appearance. He only stood quietly behind the intricately carved palace door, like a veil.

She lowered her eyes, her dark pupils flickered with an unusual glimmer, red and white intertwined into a complex and indescribable picture, as if hiding an endless story. Her cold white skin made her look even colder. Even though she had no weapon in her hands, her fingertips couldn't help but press her palms. If the emperor wanted to die, she could help him.

In the palace, Wei Linyuan stood tall and straight, and remained calm in the face of the crowd's discussion. "Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience, and the battle report is all true. The commander-in-chief also played an indispensable role in this great victory." His words were like a gentle spring breeze, but firm. In fact, he had already seen through Shen Nianyi's faint murderous intentions. He didn't want her to take action, and that was for her own good.

Shen Nianyi was secretly thinking in her heart that this sudden "request for credit" was nothing but a passing cloud to her and she did not take it to heart.

The dispute in the hall was still going on. The emperor sat high on the dragon throne with an unfathomable look on his face. He neither refuted anything nor seemed angry, allowing the storm to ferment.

"How ridiculous! How can a woman whose identity is a mystery dream of being promoted to an official position?" A sneer, with a bit of harshness and disdain, rang out from the crowd.

Wei Linyuan turned a deaf ear to this. His eyes were always fixed on the supreme king. He spoke earnestly: "Your Majesty, what I said is based on facts. Rewards and punishments are clear, which is the way to govern a country. I hope Your Majesty will understand." After he finished speaking, he deliberately emphasized the tone of the five words "punish those who have committed mistakes". His eyes swept around intentionally or unintentionally, as if reminding something. He kept thinking in his heart, you scum, if I hadn't patiently talked to you here, Ah Shen would really come to kill you. Thinking of this, he looked at these people with a hint of pity unconsciously.

Wei Linyuan's words shocked several officials present, and they all wondered if he knew something. Of course, knowing was not important, but what was important was whether he had evidence.
