Chapter 120
Prime Minister Pei Yuandao clearly saw the situation very clearly and bowed and said, "Emperor, now is the critical time for peace talks. Although the Emperor of Qin tends to discuss peace talks, he still can't stand Xiao Shangyan."
"It is said that Xiao Shangyan had an engagement with the third princess, and this time he insisted on the handwritten letter from the third princess. If he learned of the death of the third princess, he would definitely firmly oppose peace talks. Xiao Shangyan now holds the military power of the Great Qin State, and his influence in the court cannot be ignored. The previous relationship between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Western Shu was the opinion of this person."
"If Xiao Shangyan strongly opposes peace talks, he may be convinced by the Emperor of Qin. In this way, our Ling Kingdom will be passive. I think it is better to conceal the news of the third princess' death first and make arrangements after the two countries negotiate peace talks and form an alliance."
The young emperor finally lost his patience, "I have decided, please don't say anything more."
After saying this, he waved his hand as if exhausted, "Go back."
The censor jumped out without fear of death: "Emperor, the matter of peace talks involves the major plans of the two countries. It is even more undesirable to make the funeral a grand ceremony for the queen, and it is absolutely not allowed!"
Ling Junxinghan had a handsome face: "What if I had to do this?"
"That me can only advise you for death!" The censor Yan Jun once again shouted out his bold words.
Ling Junxing looked at him coldly for a while, his voice was extremely cold: "Since that's the case, I will fulfill your wishes today. The person who came - drag Yan Jun out of Chonghua Gate and 100 sticks!"
Wei Wuji's heart suddenly jumped. Yan Jun was a civil servant, and he was sure to die if he was a hundred sticks.
Although the emperor has a headache with these counselors, he has always been just a false conspiracy and even avoids direct conflicts as much as possible. If the emperor is serious today, it will cause any storm. Who else can dare to tell the truth in the future?
He was about to plead for the mercy of Yan, but someone had already kneeled down before him.
"The emperor, Yan Jingshi's character is fierce and he also serves as a censor. Not to mention the right or wrong of what he said, it is his duty to speak out for the superiors."
The person who spoke was Pei Song, the young minister of Dali Temple. His voice was quiet and gentle. As soon as he opened his mouth, it seemed to make the tension in the hall less calm. "I would like to remember the emperor to be honest with the emperor Yan, and spare his life."
"Please spare the life of the Censor Yan."
Prime Minister Pei Yuandao and the officials also knelt down, and even Wei Wuji knelt down.
Ling Junxing's gloomy and cold eyes swept across everyone little by little, and the hall felt as if it was pressed by heavy dark clouds, and everyone felt breathless.
In a suffocating silence, the emperor finally said coldly: "Since all officials plead for mercy, we will be exempted from the severe punishment of the court stick. If anyone dares to criticize the matter of the third princess' funeral, I will never forgive you!!"
The emperor left with a cold face, leaving behind a group of sweaty ministers looking at each other, feeling complicated.

The West Garden of King Zhao’s Mansion.
Chanjuan blocked the visiting Doctor Xue at the door and refused to let Xue Yuheng enter the house.
"My princess is gone, what else do you want to see? Even if you are a doctor, there is a difference between men and women. You can't let you see it casually if you die!"
Xue Yuheng turned his head and looked at Jueying, signaling Jueying to pull Chanjuan away.
Chanjuan quickly grabbed the door frame tightly, staring at Jueying as if facing a great enemy. Jueying moved slightly, raised her hands and fell, and Chanjuan fainted.
Xue Yuheng was shocked: "I asked you to pull her away, but I didn't let you knock her out."
Jueying said expressionlessly: "Save trouble."
