Qi Fang clenched his fists tightly, looking down at these ministers with his fierce eyes.
“Don’t forget, you are not Tian Ya. Have you ever thought about yourself when you force me to the corner like this?”
An old minister trembled. He carefully glanced at Consort Lin at the side before turning to Qi Fang and said, “Your Majesty, we did this for the sake of Your Majesty. If Tian Ya leaves, it will not be beneficial to our Wu Shang City.”
Qi Fang slowly closed his eyes, and only after a moment did he open his eyes.
A cold light flashed on his eyes. “Pa.s.s my decree to bring the little prince back before punis.h.i.+ng him.”
He could ignore the others, but he had to respect Tian Ya.
“Your Majesty, what about the woman who harmed the little prince?” The other old minister frowned and asked.
Qi Fang was slightly startled. These days Yu’er did go to see Maiden Feng often, and after getting to know her, he became more and more daring…
And he had even bullied those two people from the general manor because of Maiden Feng…
But Qi Fang also understood that if he punished Maiden Feng, Qi Yu would be angry with him in the future.
It was a bit of a headache just thinking about it.
He rubbed his temples to ease his headache and sighed helplessly, “If there’s nothing else, all of you can leave now…”
A voice suddenly came from outside the hall, causing Qi Fang’s expression to change a little.
“I want to see who dares to touch my son!”
The crowd turned and saw a woman in a phoenix dress walking in slowly.
She walked elegantly, with a cold and arrogant look.
“Empress, what are you doing here?” Qi Fang frowned, “You go back first. I will come to you later.”
The empress sneered as she continued to walk. Her steps were deliberate, and her voice was firm. “If I had not come, would Your Majesty have punished Yu’er severely?”
“Empress…” Qi Fang looked helpless. “You know me very well. This time Yu’er is indeed at fault. He bullied Feng Lianyi with his words back then, and this time, he beat Feng Lianyi and Feng Lianqing. I am doing this for General Tian Ya.”
After all, Yu’er was his most beloved son.
Even if he was arrogant and overbearing without reason, he still pampered him.
How could he bear to punish him severely?
“Really?” The empress looked intently into Qi Fang’s eyes. “So how do you want to settle this? Your Majesty, can you tell me what you plan to do with Yu’er?”
Facing the empress, Qi Fang was speechless, and he did not even know what to say for a moment.
His silence caused the empress to laugh out softly.
“If Your Majesty really wants to punish Yu’er, then punish me too.”
“Empress!” Qi Fang frowned slightly. Then, he stood up from the dragon throne. “What are you doing? You haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I punish you?”
“Yu’er is my son. He made a mistake because I have not disciplined him well.”
The empress lifted her phoenix robe a little and knelt gracefully.
She smirked and said, “Therefore, I am willing to suffer on his behalf!”
If it were not for her negligence back then, Yu’er would not have turned out like this. She had spoiled him since he was young and raised him to have such an att.i.tude.
‘Maiden Feng was right. I didn’t raise him well…’
She could not bear to let Yu’er suffer and would instead take the blame for him.
