Chapter 842: Behead Prince Guang!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Prince Guang looked at him.

His tanned face was filled with undisguised anger.

“Then what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to pick up the key to the private treasury and return it to my imperial brother?”

Before Censor Zhang could say anything, everyone heard Marquis Yongye sneer.

The youth’s laughter was cold and mocking.

Such a cold laugh immediately made the hall fall silent.

Ye Siming looked at Prince Guang with arrogant eyes and spoke with an unruly tone.

“Censor Zhang means that you picked up the key right after the princess lost it. Could it be that you had followed the princess with the intention of doing something bad, but unexpectedly picked up the key?”

Censor Zhang was stunned.

Hmmm?! Was this what he meant?!

The problem was immediately escalated to an even more severe level by Ye Siming.

Gu Yihan’s gaze immediately darkened.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell.

His Majesty looked like he was about to kill someone.

Prince Guang was shocked. “Marquis Yongye, don’t slander me! The little princess is my imperial brother’s beloved daughter, so she’s naturally my little niece. I dote on her a lot, so why would I harm her?!”

Gu Nuo’er’s black eyes flickered.

She watched the farce for a while and said softly, “Really, Uncle Prince Guang? Do you really treat me as your little niece?”

“How can that be fake?”

The child lowered her head and rummaged through her bag.

She also came out with a dragon-shaped tourmaline key in her small hand.

All the officials could not hide their surprise and were in an uproar!

Didn’t Prince Guang say that the key was lost?

Why was it still with the princess?

This time, even Prince Guang was dumbfounded.

Gu Nuo’er’s long eyelashes fluttered and her delicate pink face was filled with innocent confusion.

“But you said that you picked up the key I lost… Then, what is this?”

She looked up at her father. “Father, could it be that Imperial Grandpa left behind two keys?”

Gu Yihan’s expression could be described as dark and gloomy.

He lowered his cold eyes and looked at the dragon-shaped tourmaline in his daughter’s hand.

It was impossible to tell if there was no comparison.

However, with comparison, the so-called dragon-shaped tourmaline key in Prince Guang’s hand was much duller in color.

It was precisely because the key to the private treasury was so important.

Therefore, ever since the founding emperor’s generation, he had searched for the best jade in the world.

That was why he could find such a pure and good quality tourmaline jade that had almost no impurities.

After being sculpted by countless skilled craftsmen, it became the lifelike swimming dragon it was now!

Therefore, the dragon-shaped tourmaline in Gu Nuo’er’s hand…

Not only were the dragon whiskers distinct, but the scales on the dragon’s body were also lifelike!

And all of this was not something that Prince Guang’s temporary forgery item could compare to.

Gu Yihan first covered his daughter’s two small ears.

Then, he scolded Prince Guang angrily, “Gu Yongxuan, how dare you privately forge the key to the private treasury with the intention of framing the princess? How should you be punished?!”

He called out Prince Guang’s full name.

Prince Guang trembled in fear and lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face. “Imperial Brother! I definitely wouldn’t dare to frame the little princess.

This is a misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding?” Gu Yihan gritted his teeth. “You were so certain just now that you picked it up from the imperial garden and even insisted that Nuo’er had lost the key to the private treasury. How dare you say that it was a misunderstanding?!”

Prince Guang’s fat body trembled non-stop. Tears and snot flowed proficiently as he begged for mercy, “Brother, spare me…”

“Men!” Gu Yihan covered his daughter’s ears tightly and shouted angrily, “Drag him out and behead him!”

The officials were shocked.

After all, Prince Guang was a member of royalty and His Majesty’s half-brother.

Was he to be beheaded directly?
