"The previous Emperor once issued a Holy Edict: anyone who trespasses in this Forbidden Land is to be killed without mercy. Not even a Prince is exempt," the Celestial Emperor said, enunciating each word.
"The Royal Family's Forbidden Land?" The people present were stunned.
"This... This!" The Empress's heart trembled. 'Now that I think about it, that's right.'
"But Ling Fei trespassed in the Forbidden Land too!" the Empress said through gritted teeth.
She glared at Ling Fei, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
Even now, she still hoped the Celestial Emperor would execute Ling Fei.
"If not for Ling Fei, a great catastrophe would have already occurred. This time, not only is Ling Fei without fault, he has performed a great service," the Celestial Emperor said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over them.
"A great service?" At these words, everyone present was dumbfounded.
