As soon as Su Fengyi finished speaking, Lord Song jumped up from the ground. He was no longer crying and was no longer weak. He swiftly took out a memorial from his sleeve and thrust it directly in front of Su Fengyi. His movements were smooth and his voice was full of energy:

"Your Highness, Lord Lei cannot die. Since Your Highness can save General Shen, you can naturally save Lord Lei as well."

Su Fengyi looked at Lord Song's face without a trace of tears, his shining eyes, his agile figure, and the memorial that had been prepared long ago. She realized belatedly that she seemed to have been tricked by this old man.

So these cabinet ministers knew they couldn't get into the Leopard Room, but they still waited at the door. Their purpose was not to see the emperor, but to catch the fish Su Fengyi.

There was no mention of Lord Lei in the original book, so Su Fengyi didn't know who this Lord Lei who could not die was and why he had to be saved, so she didn't accept Lord Song's memorial.

But since he had promised to help, Su Fengyi, in the spirit of humanitarianism, had to ask one more question:

"Master Song, how does Master Lei look like? Is she beautiful?"

Su Fengyi asked this question with 100% good intentions, but it was a pity that Lord Song did not feel the humanistic care from His Highness.

He was so angry at the eldest princess's humiliating words that he almost wanted to vomit blood. His heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were aching all over.

We are ministers in the court, not prostitutes who seduce others with our beauty!

What is beauty? What is beautiful or not?

Is that true?

But now he had a request to the princess and he couldn't lose his temper on the spot. He had to endure the grievances in his heart.

Lord Song came here today specifically to stop the princess. After hearing about the princess's move to rob the execution ground, he immediately realized that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The emperor refused to see the court officials but was willing to see the eldest princess.

Only if you can meet people and have a say can you have influence and get things done.

The eldest princess is a rare person who can have a say in front of the emperor. So is she an enemy or a friend to the court officials?

Lord Song really wanted to know whether the eldest princess could be used for his own purposes, and he had also considered the eldest princess's various reactions to today's incident.

Everyone knows that the eldest princess is arrogant and stupid, so it is very likely that with her brain, she would not even know she was being tricked.

If her brain opens up today and she realizes what is happening, she might get angry and start cursing. It wouldn't be a big deal if she cursed at her. After all, no one would be happy if they were tricked. Lord Song could understand that.

She might also be afraid. Saving one person would be a spur of the moment decision, but saving two would be intentional. If she accepted the letter, she would be clearly making an enemy of the factory owner. She didn't dare to do that. Lord Song had also thought about all these.

However, there is still a one in ten thousand possibility that the eldest princess is neither stupid, nor angry, nor afraid. She did it on purpose. She took the wrong medicine today and she wanted to go against the Ninth Prince.

Lord Song came here today just to see if there is such a one in ten thousand chance.

He thought about the eldest princess's various reactions and repeatedly considered what she would say, but he never thought that the eldest princess would ask, "Is a minister in the court beautiful?"

Lord Lei is already forty years old. As his name suggests, he is as dark as Thunder God. He is not even handsome, and is far from being beautiful. What can Lord Song say about this?

Su Fengyi saw Lord Song's expression and knew that Lord Lei must be ugly, so she did not make it difficult for Lord Song to make up a lie and said:

“If Lord Lei wasn’t beautiful, I wouldn’t be able to save him.

Mr. Song, let me guess, what did you write in this memorial? Did you say something bad about the factory owner?

Do you want me to report the 108 major crimes committed by the factory manager to the emperor?

Excuse me for being frank, but you are really stupid. You can't get anything done by being so stupid, and it will make the emperor dislike me.

I will not accept this memorial, let alone show it to the Emperor."

Su Fengyi said this without even a roundabout way of testing, but was so direct and straightforward that she exposed Lord Song's past on the spot, not giving Lord Song any dignity at all.

Lord Song was caught off guard, feeling ashamed, annoyed, and disappointed. He said angrily:

"Your Highness is a royal descendant, and you have the blood of the late emperor on your body. Yet you are afraid of that traitor! You are so cowardly and you have humiliated your ancestors. If the late emperor knew about this..."

Haha, the old man is not giving up and is even trying to provoke me.

Su Fengyi sneered in her heart and interrupted him directly:

"If my father knew about this in the afterlife, he would be so angry at you idiots that he would be resurrected. Sir Song, let me ask you, do you know where you are wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Song became furious. He straightened his chest, waved his arms, and said righteously with fire in his eyes:

"I have acted with integrity and uprightness, and I have done nothing wrong. I am not ashamed of the world, and I am not ashamed of my monarch. What have I done wrong?"

It sounds tough, but I wonder if Mr. Song's bones are as tough as his mouth.

Su Fengyi was busy dealing with the aftermath of General Shen's incident and didn't have the spare time to act with him here.

She was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so she pulled out the dagger she carried with her, leaped up and put the dagger against Lord Song's throat, and asked with a smile:

"Master Song, are you afraid of death?"

Su Fengyi spoke softly and smiled gently, but Lord Song, with a sharp knife at his throat, felt cold sweat soaking his back and fear all over his body.

I was careless and made a mistake. I’m going to die!

How could he forget that the eldest princess was a lunatic who dared to break into the Golden Palace at the age of eight and threatened to kill the censor!

Ten years ago, the eight-year-old princess was also equipped like this. The little girl carried a bow and arrow on her back and held a dagger. She rushed into the morning court in the Golden Throne Hall and shouted:

"Who is the Censor Liu Ci who said bad things about my mother? Get out here!"

The eldest princess's mother, the then Crown Princess Xie, was impeached by Censor Liu in a memorial, saying that she was jealous, because she had not given the late emperor, the then Crown Prince, a concubine for many years. The report got to the eldest princess's ears.

The eldest princess made a scene in the court, which was really embarrassing, but no one in the court, whether civil officials or military generals, dared to say anything to this eight-year-old kid.

After all, this person is the apple of Taizu's eye.

After all, Taizu had a tough temper, and if you offended him, it would be fatal.

Everyone secretly looked at Taizu who was sitting on the dragon throne to see how he would deal with it.

As a result, Taizu not only did not blame the princess, but was moved on the spot and said:

"As expected of my granddaughter, you are so filial!"

Such nonsense was not only not scolded but also praised. It was really unreasonable. Liu Yushi, who was named on the spot, stood up and saluted to the princess:

"I am Liu Ci..."

After finding the culprit, the princess took out the feather arrow and shot it at Liu Ci without saying a word, hitting him right in the left leg.

Censor Liu screamed and knelt down on the spot, with blood all over the floor.

Even with all the commotion, Taizu didn't even try to stop them. Instead, he clapped his hands and sighed:

"As expected of my granddaughter, your archery skills are so accurate!"

The princess took out another arrow and wanted to shoot again, this time aiming at Liu Ci's left chest.

The ministers all knelt down, some begging Taizu, some begging the princess, and Taizu finally spoke:

"Feng Yi, that's enough..."

Taizu spoke, the conflict shifted, and the eldest princess became even more excited. She rushed forward aggressively and glared at Taizu:

"Grandpa doesn't like my mother? Why doesn't Grandpa care when outsiders bully her?"
