"For no reason? Since you said for no reason, then I will tell you your story!"

Bai Yong understood what Kulodika meant and responded:

"Oh? Good! Since the prince consort said so, then we will listen attentively. But if you can't explain why, then don't blame me and the others for asking the chief judge to do justice for us!" The elder spoke respectfully, but there was a hint of hostility in his tone.

"Okay! Then I will tell you about these five unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial people!"

"What!? How dare you belittle us like this!" the Second Elder said angrily

"Second elder, please be patient!" The steady elder said in a deep voice, "Just listen to what he says. If he can't explain the truth, not only will he not be able to become the son-in-law of the emperor, but I will also kill him."

"Then you better listen carefully!" Bai Yongtai said with narrowed eyes.

"I say you are unkind because you, as high-ranking officials in the Liuhuo Kingdom, have no sympathy for the common people!"

"Hahaha! Ordinary people? What's wrong with them? I think the common people in the royal city don't have any difficulties except being a little tired!" The second elder laughed sarcastically.

"Royal city? If your Kingdom of Flowing Fire only wants the Royal City of Flaming Light, then how about I notify the new King of Gale Wind to take over your other cities and territories?"

"this......"

"You are really ignorant, Second Elder!"

"You..." The second elder wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Bai Yongtai's angry voice.

"Do you know what kind of life the people living near the border are living? Do you know what kind of life the people living outside the royal city are living? Do you know the despair of the civilians in the royal city?"

"When I first came to Liuhuo, I thought it would be a beautiful and nice country, but guess what I saw?"

"What...what?" The Second Elder was stunned by Bai Yongtai's aura.

"It's the civilians fighting for a bite of food, the desperate people exchanging their children for food, and the countless refugees freezing to death and starving to death on the roadside!" Bai Yongtai roared.

"What!!!" Kulodika stood up instantly when he heard this

"Are you serious, Yuta? But I didn't encounter these things when I went abroad before!"

Bai Yongtai’s words made Kulodika really unbelievable. She didn’t believe that Liuhuo Kingdom would become like this under her leadership!

"Really! The reason you didn't run into him is probably because Villiers had arranged your route in advance," Bai Yongtai said after calming down.

"Damn it! This must be because Villiers allowed the army to plunder! I..." Kulodika gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Keep calm, Kulodika, we will win"

Then he looked at the five elders

"Do you understand your inhumanity now?"

"This... no... no, what does this have to do with us? This is the Queen's problem!" The second elder tried to cover it up, but fell into Bai Yongtai's trap.

"That's right! This is the Queen's problem, but this is also why I say you are unjust and disloyal!"

"you......"

"Okay, Second Elder, please stop talking for now," said the First Elder with a gloomy face.

"Prince Consort, please continue!"

Bai Yongtai looked at the elder and smiled, secretly guessing the elder's position.

"I say you are unjust and disloyal because now that Liuhuo is controlled by Villiers, the queen is like a puppet. As the royal elders, you ignore the queen. Is that unjust?"

"And some of you secretly joined forces with Villiers to help him. Is this disloyalty?"

"Elders, you have handed over the kingdom that our ancestors conquered. Isn't that unfilial?"

"To sum up, if I say that you five useless people who sit here and do nothing but eat, drink and have fun are unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, is that okay?"

"You...you..." The second elder was so angry that his face turned red.

The other elders were no less angry, and they all glared at Bai Yongtai.

Only the Great Elder remained calm.

Bai Yongtai secretly poked Kulodika next to him with his finger, indicating that it was her turn to speak.

Kulodika felt Bai Yongtai's finger and understood immediately, then he said:

"Alright elders! Yuta has listed all your sins one by one."

"Let's not talk about anything else first, let's talk about the affair with Villiers first!"

Kulodika glanced at the five people with cold eyes.

"Now, if any of you take the initiative to admit that you have had an affair with Prince Villiers and cut off all contact with him, I may be able to show mercy and spare your life!" Kulodika said in a cold voice.

"But if I find out, even if the late king is resurrected, I won't be able to protect you. I mean what I say!"

Kulodika's words made the four elders, except the chief elder, sweat profusely.

"Ha...haha, your majesty is joking. I just have some business dealings with His Royal Highness, and I don't have too much and in-depth contact." The fifth elder took the lead in standing up and stating her position. She still stood on Kulodika's side.

The other three elders also laughed it off, saying that they did not have much friendship with Villiers, and swore to be loyal to the royal family.

Then Kulodika looked at the silent elder.

"Does the Great Elder have anything to say?"

"I have never had much contact with His Royal Highness, so I have nothing to say!" The elder changed his previous anger and said calmly, while looking at Bai Yongtai with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"That's good!" Kulodika nodded.

"That's all for today. This is the decree I drafted. Please stamp it with the elder's seal." Kulodika took out a decree and handed it to the chief elder.

The elder opened it and took a look, then took out a seal and stamped it.

"Eh? Great Elder, you..." The Fourth Elder saw the Great Elder stamp the seal without hesitation and wanted to say something.

But the elder glanced at him and he immediately shut up.

"Your Majesty, I have already stamped the elder seal, but I cannot announce it now!" The great elder looked at Kulodika and said

"Oh? Why?" Kulodika was puzzled.

"One is that His Royal Highness still needs us to test him. For the sake of the royal family, we cannot make a decision lightly at this time."

"The second is that the prince consort is still a stranger with no achievements or honors to our Liuhuo Kingdom. If Your Majesty is so hasty to issue an edict to confer the title of Prince Consort, I am afraid that some families will say bad things about Your Majesty and His Highness behind their backs."

After listening to the explanation of the great elder, Bai Yongtai and Kulodika nodded together, thinking that what the old man said made sense.

"What the Great Elder said makes sense," Kulodika said, "According to what the Great Elder said, when should the decree be announced?"

"After your highness helps His Majesty capture Villiers, gather the army, and take control of the military and political power!"

As soon as these words came out, the other four elders were shocked, but no one knew what they were thinking.

Kulodika nodded upon hearing this.

"That makes sense, that's settled then!"
