Chapter 851_1

The Nangong Emperor's eyes lit up upon hearing Gong Zixuan's words, and he feigned anger, saying, "That impudent boy! He's grown so big yet he's still wreaking havoc everywhere. I'll definitely teach him a stern lesson and make him apologise to both of you, and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Xiao'er glanced at Gong Zixuan and scoffed. Did they think they could solve the problem with a single light apology? Did they think they were so easy to bully?

"Aside from ceding land and paying compensation, and allowing Gong Qinghua to make amends with his life, all other matters are non-negotiable!" Shangguan Xuanyi refused outright, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

The Nangong Emperor was angered. Wasn't Princess Rui standing in front of him unharmed? She had neither died nor been maimed! She had suffered nothing and yet she wanted him to cede land, pay compensation, and even take his son's life!

This was sheer nonsense!
