The morning court session began.
Si'er sat on the throne, looking helplessly at the Chief Minister standing before her. This Chief Minister had resolved a drought when he served the Jin Jian Country and a flood when he served the Heavenly King Country. Besides that, he had done many other things for the state. Now, he stood before Si'er with an arrogant expression.
"Queen, I don't care what your relationship with Wu Tian is, but he murdered someone in my residence. I demand an explanation!" the Chief Minister blurted out. His attitude was insolent, and he looked down on everyone as if from on high, relying on his achievements to disregard Si'er entirely.
"Chief Minister, I believe that whatever he does, he must have his reasons," Si'er said. She refused to believe Wu Tian would kill someone without cause. Unless someone in the Chief Minister's household acted against him first! If so, Wu Tian was in the right!
