As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was shocked!

Even Lin Baichuan, who had just settled into his seat, couldn't help but stand up abruptly, "Ye Fan, you..."

Ye Fan sneered, "Today is His Majesty's eightieth dragon birthday!"

"And yet, the mere heir of the East River King dares to publicly question the Peer Prince of the North Suppressing King, personally appointed by the Emperor of Great Xia!"

"Isn't the Lin family planning a rebellion?"

Lin Xiao's face turned deathly pale!

Lin Baichuan's old face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, "Strip Lin Xiao of his heir's crown, revoke his status as heir! Demote him to a commoner and throw him in prison! Await His Majesty's judgment!"

"Yes!"

Several figures stepped forward to remove Lin Xiao's crown.

"Father! No! I didn't..." Lin Xiao screamed as he was dragged away.

Ye Fan smiled, "East River King, your righteousness in upholding the law will surely be reported truthfully to His Majesty later!"

"Hmph!"

The East River King snorted coldly and sat down with a gloomy expression.

The nobles and aristocrats in the Jinluan Hall didn't dare to breathe heavily. This Ye Fan was too ruthless; with just a few words, Lin Xiao was completely ruined.

Even if the East River King didn't deal with Lin Xiao after returning, Lin Xiao would never become the heir of the East River King again!

Nalan Xueyan's face was full of disbelief, "Grandfather, how does he always seem so arrogant, yet everything he does is reasonable, legal, and justified, leaving no room for criticism!"

"Beating Zhou Tai to death was!"

"Slapping Liu Chengen was!"

"Ruining Lin Xiao was too!"

After speaking, Nalan Xueyan swallowed hard.

Nalan Fengyun said, "That's the terrifying part about this boy!"

"Who said this kid is the number one wastrel of Great Xia? I don't think so! As expected of Ye Zhengrong's son!"

Suddenly.

"His Majesty arrives!"

Liu Chengen's voice echoed through the Jinluan Hall!

"Long live the Emperor!"

All the princes, ministers, and nobles in the Jinluan Hall stood up, knelt on the ground to welcome him!

Only Ye Fan stood up slowly!

He looked towards the direction where the Emperor of Great Xia was coming!

An elderly man in a dragon robe, coughing, walked out with Liu Chengen's support, followed by a large group of people. In the entire Jinluan Hall, no one dared to raise their head except for Ye Fan!

Their eyes met!

The Emperor of Great Xia, Li Fuyuan.

Ye Fan showed no fear, and a hint of coldness flashed in Li Fuyuan's eyes as he slowly sat on the dragon throne.

"Rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone gradually got up.

"Your Majesty! I have a report!"

Wang Guozhong stepped out from the crowd, bowed, and stared at Ye Fan with a stern expression, "Peer Prince of the North Suppressing King, Ye Fan, drove into the palace forbidden area! Publicly beat to death the Crown Prince's guard Zhou Tai, that's one crime!"

"Wanton killing of innocents! Overnight, slaughtered three hundred and forty-one people of the North Suppressing Duke's Mansion, including Xu Fu's family! That's the second crime!"

"Used private punishment, tortured the top scholar personally appointed by His Majesty! Severed his legs, turned him into a cripple, and hung him at the Duke's Mansion gate for humiliation! That's the third crime!"

After saying these three sentences.

Wang Guozhong had already reached the center of the Jinluan Hall!

Kneeling on the ground, his head touched the floor:

"Zhou Tai was performing his duties, yet was beaten to death by the North Suppressing King!"

"Who will dare to be loyal to Great Xia in the future?"

"Qin Feng, as a scholar, was made a cripple by the North Suppressing King for no reason!"

"Who will dare to govern the country for Great Xia in the future?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He knocked his head on the ground three times, his tone filled with extreme grief and indignation, "Your Majesty! If today you do not give an explanation to the soldiers and scholars of Great Xia!"

"Severely punish the North Suppressing King, it will be hard to win the people's hearts!"

After saying this!

Dozens of officials behind Wang Guozhong also stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison, "Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the North Suppressing King, strip him of his title! Remove his crown! To appease the people!"

"He's finished..." Nalan Xueyan looked at Ye Fan worriedly.

Only Nalan Fengyun, sitting in his chair, smiled faintly, "If he ends like this, then I misjudged him, and he is still that wastrel!"

Li Chengqian stood in the crowd, his eyes cold!

Li Youruo's fingers clenched tightly.

At this moment, she was actually a bit worried about Ye Fan!

"Ye Fan, do you have anything to say?" Li Fuyuan's voice carried authority without anger.

Ye Fan shook his head, "Nothing to say!"

"Hmm?"

Nalan Fengyun was taken aback, "What's this kid doing? Accepting his fate?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Fuyuan's eyes as he calmly ordered, "Someone! Strip the title of the North Suppressing King! Remove the crown! Lower the rank by one level!"

"North Suppressing King Ye Fan, return to your mansion for reflection! Without an edict, do not step outside!"

Wang Guozhong smiled.

Qin Feng's eyes were filled with vengeful excitement, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Youruo, who was frowning in concern?

"Yes!"

Liu Chengen walked towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan sighed, "Your Majesty, why rebel?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Jinluan Hall fell into dead silence!

All the princes, ministers, Nalan Fengyun, Nalan Xueyan, Li Chengqian, Li Youruo, Qin Feng... everyone held their breath, their hearts nearly exploding with fear!

Even Liu Chengen froze in place, not daring to take another step towards Ye Fan.

The East River King! Nanling Prince! Xibo Prince! All widened their eyes in shock.

Was Ye Fan crazy?

Did he actually say... the Emperor was rebelling?

Wang Guozhong was shocked, kneeling in place, maintaining his posture of accusing Ye Fan, but unable to utter another word, the Minister of Great Xia's brain was in a daze!

"Ye Fan! How dare you!"

Crown Prince Li Chengqian jumped out angrily, his face full of rage, "Did you actually say the Emperor is rebelling?"

"I order you, kneel immediately!"

"Otherwise! Today, your entire clan will be executed!"

Murderous intent was evident!

"Isn't it true? On the day Great Xia was founded!"

Ye Fan's tone was calm, "His Majesty held my father's hand, burned incense for nine days! Announced to the world!"

"The Emperor of Great Xia and the North Suppressing King will govern the country together! The North Suppressing King was appointed as Peer Prince! Hereditary and unchangeable!"

"Today, the Emperor wants to break his oath, isn't that equivalent to rebellion?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Chengqian's mouth gaped open!

Others' eyes were filled with disbelief!

Each one stared at Ye Fan, their minds completely blank!

"Grandfather..."

Nalan Xueyan's body went limp, unable to sit still, utterly frightened, she clutched Nalan Fengyun's aged hand tightly to steady herself.

Beside her, Nalan Fengyun, with one hand holding his granddaughter, the other gripping the armrest of his chair tightly, barely managed to keep from falling!

Li Youruo turned back, staring intently at Ye Fan's face, as if she had never known this person!

Qin Feng's mouth hung open, drool dripping out, completely unaware!

Only Li Fuyuan's eyes were gloomy!

The entire Jinluan Hall was silent, even breathing had stopped, no one dared to speak!

Suddenly.

A strong voice broke the silence, "Little brother, what's going on, how can you speak to His Majesty like that?"

"She's back?"

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at the main entrance of the Jinluan Hall!

A woman in golden armor slowly walked into the hall.

"Eighth sister!"

Ye Fan's nose tingled, his eyes reddened.

Seeing the living Chen Murong before him, rather than a cold, mutilated corpse, there was no greater joy than this moment!

"Little brother, aren't you being ridiculous? How can you say His Majesty is rebelling!" Chen Murong seemed to scold, but her face was full of affection.

With a smile, she walked step by step towards Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and under everyone's gaze, raised her hand and slapped him across the face!

Everyone was stunned, the crisp sound echoed throughout the Jinluan Hall!

This slap was even more shocking than Ye Fan questioning why the Emperor was rebelling.

"You dare hit me?"

Li Chengqian's eyes widened.
