Chapter 854: Nuo’er, Criticize Him!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two scholars on the stage argued until their faces turned red.
The manager of the chess hall could already tell that something was wrong.
He hurriedly stopped them. “Young masters, this poetry gathering is for talents to compete and meet friends through poetries. Our shop still has to open for business. Please stop this insubordination.”
If His Majesty heard about this…
The Victory Chess Hall could only shut down their business to save their lives!
This would still be considered light punishment. If His Majesty was enraged, no one would be able to escape and they would all be killed!
The manager of the chess hall was so frightened that he kept persuading them.
Unexpectedly, the scholar who was spouting nonsense seemed to be determined to stand up for Prince Guang.
His saliva flew everywhere, and he looked loyal and righteous.
“When we read sage books, we naturally have to speak up for injustice. Otherwise, if everyone were to be silent, wouldn’t this world be like walking in a dark abyss?!”
“Well said!” A soft voice interrupted.
Gu Nuo’er stood up.
Everyone quickly looked at her.
Everyone was stunned.
What nonsense was this little girl talking about?!
That scholar was clearly saying something treasonous. If he wasn’t careful, he would be beheaded.
Why was she echoing along?!
The scholar probably didn’t expect to receive support either. He was stunned for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at the three people sitting in the corner.
All of this was captured by Ye Siming’s gaze.
The youth raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness that he was about to make a move.
Gu Yihan and n.o.ble Consort Qiao sat there without moving, planning to see how their daughter would deal with the scholar on the stage.
Gu Nuo’er stood up, her small hands clapping.
“What you said is really good. Even a child like me admires you. Scholar, you’re really touching to speak up for that commoner!
“If he knew that there was a good person like you, whose heart aches for him, he would definitely cry. Therefore, hurry up and introduce yourself.
“This way, everyone can also help you spread the news. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. He will definitely be able to help you repay you after knowing of your appreciation for him!”
Gu Nuo’er waved her small arm and called out to everyone enthusiastically.
“Uncles, older brothers, when the time comes, we can all be his witnesses, right? He’s the one who said it. We can’t let others benefit from it!”
The scholar’s expression changed.
Someone immediately echoed.
“That’s right. Brother, you’ve worked so hard, so how can you remain
anonymous?! We have to let the other party know.”
“I think that’s right. Eh? Brother, what’s your name?”
Everyone was talking at once.
After all, this person’s words were so dangerous. If they were not careful, a fatal disaster would befall.
Of course, they had to go along with this girl’s words and push the blame on him alone.
The scholar was speechless in the face of everyone’s “pa.s.sion”!
He looked at Gu Nuo’er in shock. After a long while, he said reluctantly, “If I were to ask for favors and repayment, what kind of person would I become?!
Everyone, don’t look down on me. I’m just defending Prince Guang.” Gu Nuo’er pressed forward step by step, her eyes flickering like stars.
“Eh? If you’re complaining about injustice, you naturally have to say it out loud! His Majesty might hear about your words! If His Majesty thinks that what you said makes sense, he might confer the commoner his t.i.tle back!” The child smiled like a cunning little fox.
“Don’t be afraid. Speak your name loudly and let us hear it like thunder!”
The scholar became anxious.
How could he say that?!
He had been invited to clear Prince Guang’s name.
Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by this girl, who refused to let go!
