"Purple Marquis, Zhenyuan Marquis's bloodline, has contributed greatly to the defense of the land, whether it is slaying demons, suppressing bandits, or resisting the Black Moon Empire in the south, you have always been at the forefront, truly a loyal subject of the Empire."
The Second Prince's heart was filled with humiliation and sorrow, forcing a smile: "Even if Lin Dai 'er injured the Princess, her feelings are pitiful, I beg you once, can you not cede land as compensation?"
He was even somewhat submissive.
Purple Marquis had recruited soldiers and taken over a giant fortress, full of ambition, and could raise the flag of rebellion at any time under the pretext of righteousness. Now, he had to feign civility, not daring to shed all pretense of cordiality.
Take Dongfang Ying's injury as an example.
If he did not punish the Lin family today, then in the future, Purple Marquis's experts will challenge the Imperial family in the name of competition.
If he refused the challenge, then the Imperial family's face would be swept to the ground, weak and easily bullied, becoming a fat sheep that could be bitten by anyone.
If he accepted the challenge, then Purple Marquis's minions would definitely seriously injure him, or even kill him.
But at this time, if he pursued responsibility, he would use the Lin family's Lin Dai 'er to seriously injure the Princess but was not punished.
With the words "the Imperial family is unfair, the Emperor forces his subjects to rebel", he could openly raise his troops, wave the flag of rebellion, and directly attack the root of the problem.
He could even gain the support of cultivators and common people who did not know the truth, and put the Imperial family in an unjust position.
It could be said that Purple Marquis and Shanshui Marquis's rebellion today seemed to be for Zhenyuan Marquis's fief, but it was far from that simple.
If the Imperial family wanted to protect Zhenyuan Marquis, then it was the same as helping Purple Marquis establish a new set of rules, which was exactly what he wanted.
Under this new set of rules, strength was above all, the strong were respected, and the Imperial family had to bow to strength. It did not matter if the Marquis injured or killed the Imperial family, but the dignity of the Imperial family would gradually be eroded and eventually destroyed.
But if the Imperial family did not protect Zhenyuan Marquis, then it would naturally make the Marquis bitterly disappointed in the Imperial family. Purple Marquis could still weaken the Imperial family's dignity by holding the Emperor and ordering the Marquis around.
What made the Second Prince most sullen was that.
He clearly understood all this, but he could do nothing. No matter how he dealt with it, Purple Marquis had the upper hand and benefits!
"Yes, Purple Marquis, I don't believe that Dai 'er sister deliberately hurt me. It's just that my cultivation is inferior. "
The sickly Princess Ying of the East spoke.
"Moreover, my Cold Illness does indeed break out once every ten years. This time, it's been ten years since the last time. I think it's just a relapse of her old illness. It has nothing to do with Sister Dai 'er. Please don't make things difficult for her! "
Her words were sincere. Her voice was intermittent, and she was panting. It was obvious that she was short of breath, but her attitude was very sincere. The corners of her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.
These words made the nobles and ministers in the Purple Marquis' camp feel somewhat guilty and ashamed in their hearts.
However, the struggle for power in the imperial court was just that cruel. Following the imperial family or resisting the Purple Marquis was a road to death. Thus, no one dared to say anything.
"This marquis will give Your Highness face. If he didn't want to cede land, that was fine too! Beat this woman to death! "
Purple Marquis turned a deaf ear to Dongfang Ying's pleas, enjoying the pleasure of controlling the life and death of others, and laughed sinisterly.
This was also something he was extremely willing to do. Didn't you, Zhenyuan Hou, claim to be good at fighting and defending the land, and a good general and important minister of the country? If you can't even protect your own daughter, let's see who will support you in the future. What right do you have to protect the imperial family! A Lin family without supporters is not even worth a fart.
"Father, I don't want to die!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Dai 'er was so frightened that she wailed, tears falling like rain.
"Purple Marquis, you are aggressive, you are going too far! Today, I want to ask you, is this your world, or the Dongfang family's world? The Second Prince and Her Highness both said that this matter has nothing to do with my daughter! "
Lin Hanqing was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"What do you mean by going too far? What do you mean by aggressive? "
Purple Marquis was unmoved, and sneered: "This marquis is doing this to protect the dignity of the imperial family and the supreme authority. As long as it is beneficial to the country, as long as it can help the Dongfang family, this marquis is not afraid of being crushed to pieces, and is not afraid of you slandering me, or even being pointed at by the world! "
"You!"
Seeing that Dongfang Li was not speaking up for him, Lin Hanqing's heart was filled with sorrow. He could only grit his teeth and say: "Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine."
Then he looked at his daughter with a sad face and said: "One hundred beatings, if anyone dares to beat me more, as long as I, Lin Hanqing, am still alive, I will kill him! Daughter, you have to hold on! "
"Zhang Muyun, save me, protect me and escape. Go directly to the Nine Mysteries Sect, there, they won't dare to kill me!"
Lin Dai 'er was in a panic and despair, trembling, looking at Zhang Muyun outside the door and shouting loudly.
This staff was not ordinary, but the imperial family's magic weapon "Strong Thunder Divine Staff", which contained a huge amount of magic power and attracted the strong thunder of the Nine Heavens.
With one strike, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be beaten to a pulp, and their soul would scatter.
Even a Golden Core Cultivator would not be able to withstand more than ten strikes.
Zhang Muyun did not dare to move at all. His face was red, and he lowered his head in shame, avoiding his daughter's pleading eyes.
There were powerful cultivators from the imperial palace, and also Divine Transformation Cultivators from Jiang Han City. Not to mention him, even if his father and Lin Hanqing attacked together, they would not be able to kill their way out. They would probably be killed in a few seconds.
Just as the Marquis of Purple Robe was about to attack with the Strong Thunder Divine Staff, Lin Dai 'er fell to the ground in despair and helplessness, and Lin Hanqing looked up to the sky and sighed.
"It's easy to give up land, and it's easy to kill Lin Dai 'er, but it's not so easy to save the Princess's life! In my opinion, she doesn't need three years, only three months, and she will die suddenly! "
An untimely voice came.
"Who's talking nonsense? How dare you curse Princess Dongfang Ying! "
Everyone looked at the door.
The Marquis of Shanshui was even more furious. He jumped three feet high, pointed at the door and shouted angrily.
"This person, deceiving the Emperor, must be beaten to death! Marquis Zhenyuan, in your Lin family, even a servant dares to curse Her Highness, and everyone disregards the dignity of the imperial family. I suspect that this is all instigated by you. You have the heart of disobedience, and you should kill all nine generations, not leaving a chicken or a dog! "
Seeing Jiang Tian come in, Lin Dai 'er was so angry that her face turned pale. She shouted angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense! Do you know that you will consign the entire Lin family to eternal damnation! "
Even Lin Hanqing was shocked. He hurriedly winked at Jiang Tian and said, "You don't know much about medicine. Even the Imperial Medical Hall can't do anything about the Princess's strange illness. How can you talk nonsense about the Princess's illness? Leave quickly! "
"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! Originally, it was just a matter of flogging Lin Dai 'er, but now, I'm afraid that all nine generations of her family will be killed! "
"Is this a place where you can come to?"
Zhang Muyun and the other guards looked at Jiang Tian as if they were looking at a madman. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
Before, it was only Lin Dai 'er's matter, but now that Jiang Tian had stirred it up, it was the matter of the entire Lin family.
A guard and a servant dared to curse the Princess. Not to mention the Marquis of Purple Robe, even Dongfang Li would not be able to bear it. He would probably start a massacre and exterminate the Lin family.
Even Guo Chuandong was so scared that his legs trembled. If he had known, he would not have followed Jiang Tian to join the Lin family.
If a war broke out, would he be able to escape? He did not dare to imagine what kind of bloody and cruel situation would follow.
