This matter not only concerns the diplomatic relations between the two sides, but is also a scandal in Beilang.

Helian Xiao didn't want to tell this scandal to the people in the Western Regions, so he could only put Feng Zhuyue in the Heavenly Prison first and interrogate her secretly tomorrow. By then, it would be up to him to decide whether to keep her or kill her.

However, someone as ambitious as Feng Zhuyue probably cannot be kept.

The rain got heavier and Feng Zhuyue's back was nearly bent by the heavy rain. When he felt the murderous intent surging from the sky, he suddenly raised his eyes and met Helian Xiao's eyes filled with murderous intent.

His thin lips opened slightly, and for a moment he felt as if his throat was strangled and he could not utter a word. The guards came to take him to the Sky Prison. He whimpered and screamed, his eyes bloodshot with fear, no longer as clear as the moon.

"stop."

"You guys are also allowed to touch my child?"

At this moment, a rather majestic female voice spread in the wind and rain.

Princess Jin'an, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked forward step by step surrounded by her maids. In the wind and rain, her aura only increased. The eldest princess of the royal family was naturally noble, and she would not look embarrassed even if the sky pressed down.

The guards were so frightened by her shouting that they let go of their hands.

Without the restraints, Feng Zhuyue was able to escape. He ran to Princess Jin'an in a panic, seeking shelter.

When Princess Jin'an saw that his clothes were wet and thin and his face was pale, she felt so distressed. She comforted him with her eyes, and Feng Zhuyue's heart soon calmed down.

As long as his mother is around, nothing will happen to him.

Feng Qiwu seemed to have expected Princess Jin'an to come. He looked calm and was still drinking tea comfortably.

Wen Ranyan combed her slightly damp black hair with a smile on her face: "Mother came to help her good child, but even if she did, there would still be a rift between the monarch and the minister. No matter what Feng Zhuyue does in the future, it will never be as smooth sailing as before."

"It's like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. The cuts are not fatal, but the pain is unbearable. My husband is still as cruel as ever."

Wen Ranyan pushed her wet hair behind her ears, a gleam of confusion grew in her almond-shaped eyes, and that smile was even cooler than the chilly spring rain.

Feng Qiwu blew away the tea stems on the tea, and said in a cold voice with a hint of laughter: "He chose his own path, and no matter how much suffering there is, he must endure it until he dies."

Wen Ranyan's smile deepened.

At that time, Princess Jin'an had already rushed into the storm and walked up to Helian Xiao with great momentum.

She and Helian Xiao looked at each other, and before the emperor could say anything, she asked, "I wonder what Zhu Yue did wrong that Your Majesty wants to put him in the Heavenly Prison?"

Princess Jin'an had a phoenix hairpin on her head, and the moment Helian Xiao raised his eyes, he was dazzled by the pearls and jade on her head. He was already unhappy, and now he was even more angry.

But thinking that she was his own aunt, Helian Xiao suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Aunt really gave birth to a good son. Not only did he assassinate the Western Region envoy at the hunting banquet, he also secretly raised tens of thousands of assassins. The number is so large that I have to be suspicious."

After hearing this, Princess Jin'an didn't think this was a big deal at all. Instead, she thought Helian Xiao was making a fuss out of nothing.

She sneered and said casually, "My son is kind and honest. The assassination of the envoy must have been slandered by others. As for the raising of assassins, there is no need to make a fuss. Let me ask, which family of the ministers present does not raise assassins?"

"These are just methods used by people in high positions to protect the peace of their homes. Otherwise, they would be at the mercy of others one day and would cry their hearts out. Your Majesty, why are you making such a fuss?"

Princess Jin'an spoke very logically, and her words were full of intimidation.

Helian Xiao could not stop mocking after hearing this, and laughed coldly: "Aunt, please tell me, which minister has tens of thousands of assassins at home? That's tens of thousands, not dozens, hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands."

He emphasized it many times, and the murderous intent in his eyes was enough to send a chill down Princess Jin'an's spine.

The number of tens of thousands of death warriors was indeed astonishing. Other ministers only had a dozen or twenty of them at home, but so what? Even if Feng Zhuyue had such thoughts, he was still her beloved son.

She calmed down for a long time before she asked quietly, "Why, Your Majesty still wants to kill my son?"

Helian Xiao stared at her without saying a word.

Princess Jin'an then continued, "Speaking of which, my son is your Majesty's cousin. With such a close relationship, does your Majesty really want to take action? Or does your Majesty want to ignore the death-free gold order in my hand?"

After she finished speaking, she flicked her long sleeves, revealing the golden warrant of immunity from death hidden inside.

There are two pieces of golden immunity orders, one is in the hands of Lord Chu, and the other was given to Princess Jin'an by the late emperor. Now that she has come prepared, Feng Zhuyue cannot be killed.

Helian Xiao stared at the golden order with a gloomy expression. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "With my aunt as a guarantor, I think I misunderstood. Let's not talk about the matter of raising assassins for now, but there is a lot of evidence of the assassination of the envoy. I must give the envoy an explanation."

Princess Jin'an frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, how will you deal with my son?"

"Drag Feng Zhuyue away and give her fifty lashes as a punishment." Helian Xiao ignored her gloomy face and suddenly turned to look at the Western Region envoy, asking in a gentle voice: "Envoy, do you have any objection to my punishment?"

The Western Regions envoy was listening to the Beilang secrets with great interest, but when his name was suddenly mentioned, he could only say, "I have no objection, so be it."

He really had no interest in seeing Feng Qiwu get into trouble.

As for the missing left ear, there will always be a chance to ask Feng Qiwu for it back in the future.

Hearing this, Helian Xiao finally smiled again. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Feng Zhuyue has behaved badly. After the execution, she will be confined at home to reflect on her mistakes. As for the training of Juxian Tower, it will be fully handed over to you, Lord Feng, to be responsible for it."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Feng Qiwu and smiled meaningfully.

It is not an easy job for Juxian Building to educate children from poor families. Not to mention that the children from poor families hate Feng Qiwu and avoid him as much as possible.

There is also a test in this. If it is done, this ambition will be easier for people to exploit, but if it fails, it can also cause trouble for him.

Feng Qiwu's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given Juxian Tower to me, so does this place belong to me?"

Helian Xiao nodded his forehead: "It belongs to Lord Feng."

Feng Qiwu curled his thin lips and said, "Can I do whatever I want with you?"

Helian Xiao's eyes were deep: "Of course."

Feng Qiwu raised his eyelids, and the smile in his eyes became more intense: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing what they said, Wen Ranyan also smiled brightly and freely.

I was very happy to get a Juxian Building for free without having to spend any money to build it myself.

Also, who says that Juxian Building must train children from poor families?

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
