Chapter 171 Death-Free Gold Medal
Xue Qianqian's eyes widened in an instant, her face full of fear, and her body trembled involuntarily.
She looked at the emperor in fear and trepidation, her legs softened, and she fell to her knees with a thump.
Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching cry was heard: "Uncle! I am your niece Qianqian! How could you treat me like this? The one who should be punished is obviously Ye Chuxue!"
At the same time, the eldest princess beside her was also filled with panic.
She hurried to Xue Qianqian's side and held her shaky niece tightly. However, despite her fear, the eldest princess still showed a hint of stubbornness on her face.
She raised her head, staring directly at the emperor without flinching, and raged in accusation, "Your Majesty, I simply cannot accept your actions! Just because Ye Chuxue is your daughter-in-law, do you have to openly favor her?"
Facing the eldest princess's questioning and accusations, the emperor simply glanced at her coldly with an expressionless face, and snorted with disdain: "Hmph! Whether I am biased or not, I believe you know it better than anyone else!
Don't try to play tricks on me here! Furthermore, when you learned the true identity of the Eastern Liao prince, not only did you not repent, but you remained stubborn and stubborn, determined to kill him and silence him!
You completely disregard the enormous crisis and disaster your actions may bring to the entire country! People like you who only care about personal grudges and hatred, and ignore your country and the world, are simply heinous! "
When he said this, the emperor turned his head slightly and glanced at Ouyang Zhi who was standing beside him with his seemingly unintentional eyes.
Then, with a serious expression, he continued, "If I don't punish you this time! Then, how can I give a reasonable explanation to the millions of people in Muyun Kingdom? Not to mention how I can face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
At this moment, the princess's originally beautiful face became distorted due to extreme anger. She widened her eyes and yelled at the top of her voice, "You absolutely cannot impose any punishment on me!
It is obvious that Ye Chuxue and Ouyang Zhi are these two people who don't know what is good for them. They actually dared to come to this princess's residence and cause trouble. This princess was just taking legitimate defensive measures!
Besides, back then, you promised Father that you would do your best to protect me and ensure my safety for the rest of my life!"
After hearing the eldest princess's specious arguments, the emperor's face became even gloomier. He frowned tightly and stared at his arrogant and domineering sister with a sharp gaze.
He refuted righteously: "Humph! You have now done something that seriously harms the interests of Muyun Country. Do you think I should continue to protect you?
In my opinion, even if my father were still alive today, I firmly believe that he would never sit idly by and watch your actions, allowing you to put the entire country in dire straits!"
However, facing the emperor's rebuke, the eldest princess showed no intention of backing down. Instead, her eyes widened as big as copper bells, and she let out a creepy sneer.
Then, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words: "Hahahahaha! Royal brother, royal brother, have you forgotten? I hold the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor! With this medal alone, you can't do anything to me today!"
The emperor's brows, which had been relaxed, were now tightly furrowed. His hawk-like eyes were fixed on the eldest princess in front of him, revealing an indescribable complex emotion.
After a long moment, the Emperor heaved a long sigh and said in a low, helpless voice, "Forget it. I know what you're thinking. Are you really planning to use that golden medal of immunity from death to absolve yourself of the sin you committed this time?"
Facing the emperor's questioning, the princess did not flinch. She straightened her body, held her head high, and answered in a decisive tone, "That's right! That's exactly what I meant!"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around quickly and took the glittering golden medal of immunity from death from the hand of the maid serving beside her without hesitation.
Then, the eldest princess raised the gold medal in her hand high, with a proud and confident smile on her face. She looked down at everyone present, her eyes full of provocation.
At this moment, the emperor's gaze slowly shifted towards the direction of Ye Chuxue and Ouyang Zhi. His eyes lingered between the two of them, as if he was thinking about something important.
After a moment, the emperor finally spoke again: "This golden medal of immunity from death was left to the eldest princess by the late emperor. In addition, there is also an extremely sharp sword. Both treasures have extraordinary significance and power - the golden medal of immunity from death can absolve the eldest princess of all guilt;
As for that sword, it allows the princess to kill anyone at will without being held accountable, and the court must fully guarantee her safety. However, it is important to note that each of these items can only be used once..."
After the emperor finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly and waved gently to Eunuch Liu who was standing beside him.
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu nodded in understanding and then quickly walked up to the eldest princess.
He bent down respectfully and carefully took the golden medal of immunity from death from the eldest princess's raised hand. Then, Eunuch Liu took small steps and quickly returned to the emperor's side, and handed the medal to the emperor steadily.
Ye Chuxue stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the eldest princess. She held her head high and chest puffed out, her face filled with an air of arrogance.
Ye Chuxue pondered inwardly: No wonder the princess is so fearless, it turns out she has a life-saving trick up her sleeve! However, even with this so-called death-proof golden medal, can it guarantee her a life without worries?
After all, this life-saving straw can only be used once.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but smile slightly, and thought to herself: Don't be afraid, there is still a long time to go, and one day she will get the punishment she deserves.
At the same time, the emperor was tightly gripping the glittering golden token in his hand, his gaze fixed on it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining an imperceptible arc. But this smile was fleeting, as if it had never appeared.
He then raised his head, his expression sullen as he looked at the princess. He spoke slowly, "Since you've already presented the golden medal of immunity from death, I will no longer pursue your responsibility this time. However, there's irrefutable evidence that Qianqian kidnapped Xue'er. Her actions are truly egregious. Her crimes cannot be easily forgiven."
Hearing this, Xue Qianqian, who was standing by, was suddenly frightened and her face turned pale with horror.
She fell to her knees with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, "Uncle, spare my life! Mother, please save me!"
