"Who would have thought that the Incompetent Grand Governor, who sat idly in his post and ate the public's grain until he lost the entire Human-Demon Battlefield defense line, would still have the face to come to Qiankun Hall?"
The moment Ye Zhen spoke, Qiankun Hall, which had been buzzing with quiet discussion, fell so silent that a needle drop could be heard!
Prince Li Ji Yuan's newly arrived avatar narrowed his eyes and fixed Ye Zhen with a deadly stare.
In all these years, this was the first time anyone had dared curse him to his face in court!
In an instant, Prince Li Ji Yuan's gaze turned incomparably grim!
"Insolence!"
Prince Zhen Ji Jie immediately stepped forward from behind Prince Li Ji Yuan, pointed a finger at Ye Zhen's nose, and cursed, "You dare insult the Prince of Consultation! This crime warrants execution! Men, seize him!"
Yet Ye Zhen wore a strange expression. "Prince Zhen, everything I said was the truth. How could it be called an insult?"
"You still dare quibble?" Prince Zhen Ji Jie's face was stern.
"Quibble?" Ye Zhen sneered. "Prince Zhen, Great Zhou has no law that convicts people for their words, does it?"
"There may be no crime of speech, but rank and status must be respected! Defying one's superiors is a grave crime. You, a mere Duke of North Sea Commandery, dared insult the current Prince of Consultation and Grand Governor of the Human-Demon Battlefield. What crime should you face?" Prince Zhen's rebuke rose louder and louder, brimming with force.
This scene caused every high-ranking minister in the hall to turn and look over.
It seemed Prince Zhen and Prince Li intended to join forces and give Ye Zhen a show of force even before the small court assembly began!
No matter
