There are two paths in front of me:
First, Suya was not beheaded, but only hanged.
This would put him under great moral pressure. When the people of the capital heard about it, they would spit on him and call him a "traitor!", "coward!", or "coward!";
Second, Suya was beheaded.
However, there was a promise in the confession, "I guarantee that your body will be left intact," so he could not avoid the accusation of betrayal.
Chu Zhongtian sighed.
The dangers of the court were far greater than those of the underworld. Zhao Nong wanted to undermine his own prestige, but Li Qingcha would suffer with him.
The worst thing is that Chu Zhongtian couldn't shirk responsibility even if he wanted to.
Because he is the officer in charge of this case, he must be fully responsible no matter what goes wrong.
He said, "Zhao Nong, shouldn't the demon clan spies be killed?"
Zhao Nong sneered,
"You deserve it! You totally deserve it!"
Then he changed the subject: "But, our great Great Xia is always loyal and righteous. Even when facing a dying person, we still have dignity. How can we go back on our word?"
"You are talking about gratitude to the demon people?"
"Loyalty is not just talk, it also has to be believed in the heart. If you break your promise today, you will abandon loyalty tomorrow."
"Bullshit!"
"How dare you, Zhu Zi!"
……
The two of them were about to fight.
The officials nearby quickly pulled them apart.
"My two lords, calm down, calm down, and let's talk nicely... Ouch... Don't... Don't hit me!"
The front hall of the Qianqing Palace was in chaos.
The emperor was already used to it, so he calmly drank a sip of tea.
Today's incident was caused by Li Qingcha. He really wanted to see how things would develop.
Moreover, he didn't care how Suya would die.
How about beheading?
So what if I'm hanged?
Anyway, someone will take the blame.

Meridian Palace.
The princess's room was filled with smoke.
Sirou was in the bathtub, her fingers tracing across her delicate skin, from her shoulders and neck all the way down, across the mountains, across the plains, into the grasslands...
Call ~
She took a deep breath.
She had a lot of nightmares last night, which made her feel a little tired when she got up, so she wanted to take a shower in the morning.
at this time,
dong dong dong-
There was a knock on the door.
Si Rou said slightly unhappy: "Didn't I tell you that I don't need you to serve me."
Immediately, the voice of the palace maid came from outside: "Your Highness, it is Admiral Mu who has arrived and said that he has some news."
How could it happen so fast?
Sirou was surprised.
She knew that the demon spy would be interrogated today, but she never expected that Li Qingcha's questioning ability would be so outstanding.
"I'm going out right now."
"We need you..."
"no need."
"promise."
The footsteps of the palace maids faded away.
Sirou stood up from the bathtub, wiped her body with a dry towel, then stood naked in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, slightly dazed.
She knows she is beautiful.
However, beauty has an effect on men, but what about women?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Si Rou suddenly shook her head and muttered to herself: "What am I thinking about!"
She dressed carefully and left the room.
"Pour out the hot water in the bathtub and open the window for ventilation." She ordered the palace maid.
"Yes." The palace maids entered the room.
Sirou came to the front hall.
At this time, Mu Shi was already waiting.
She saluted and said, "Your Highness, Instructor Li has finished interrogating the demon spy. Scholar Chu just entered the palace with the confession and should be in the Qianqing Palace now."
Sirou nodded.
"Do you know the details?"
"I don't know."
"Well, it's not unexpected. After all, it's not a capture operation."
There were only a few people involved in the interrogation, and they were all Chu Zhongtian's confidants. They were very tight-lipped and could not leak any information.
The first time Li Qingcha investigated the details of Wang Quan's case, Sirou still listened to what Luo Weiyang said.
Sirou thought about it.
"Let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and have a look."
"Should we invite Princess Yongjia?"
"You... hehe... I didn't expect Mu Caocan to also know how to find a shield."
"I learned it from the instructor."
"..."
"..."
An eerie silence.
Sirou smiled and shook her head.
"Forget it, I won't look for Yongjia anymore. I don't know where that girl is having fun right now. I'll just go over there."
She walked alone towards the Qianqing Palace.
As a result, as soon as I reached the door, I heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"Zhao Nong, shouldn't the demon clan's spies be killed?"
"You deserve it! You deserve it very much! However, our great Great Xia has always been loyal to the people. Even when facing a dying person, we still have dignity. How can you go back on your word?"
"You are talking about gratitude to the demon people?"
"Loyalty is not just talk, it also has to be believed in the heart. If you break your promise today, you will abandon loyalty tomorrow."
……
Sirou could of course hear what the two sides were arguing about.
It is estimated that Li Qingcha used some words like "I can keep your body intact".
Sirou shook her head at the eunuch who was about to report, indicating that she would not enter the house for the time being.
She fell into thought.
The first thing to understand is, if Li Qingcha were present, would he settle for second best?
Do not!
Absolutely impossible.
Li Qingcha seems to be smooth in dealing with things, but in fact he is smooth on the outside but strict on the inside. He will never allow for negotiation on something he has decided to do.
She had said before: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
She will definitely not show any tolerance towards the demon race.
So, what will she do?
Sirou pursed her lips, thinking that this matter would eventually fall on her father's shoulders.
If you want to convince your father...
Her Royal Highness the Princess tried to think from Li Qingcha's perspective.
After about half a minute, she nodded to the eunuch under the eaves.
The latter understood: "Princess Sirou wants to see you."
The Qianqing Palace immediately became quiet.
The emperor's majestic voice sounded: "Announce."
Sirou walked into the house slowly.
The front hall was like a parking lot hit by a tornado, with all kinds of papers scattered all over the ground, in a mess.
All the ministers have come to the battle.
Some pulled out golden whips, some took out golden pens, and some used golden belts...
They are all gifts from the emperor.
They are all important officials in the court. Who doesn’t have a few treasures to “strike against the royal relatives and corrupt officials”?
However, now that Princess Sirou has come in, we have to be more restrained.
The whole group of people sat back down obediently.
Sirou saw that they were panting, especially the elderly ones, whose foreheads were covered with sweat.
puff~
She laughed out loud, "What are you doing, gentlemen? Learning martial arts to exercise your body?"
The emperor laughed,
"Si Rou, you came just in time."
He recounted the dispute between the two sides.
According to the rules, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs.
But that was an order issued by emperors of all dynasties, and the emperor broke it himself. Even if the ministers had objections in their hearts, they would not show it.
Sirou smiled softly.
"I see."
"What?" the emperor asked, "Do you have any opinion?"
"I don't have any opinion, but I heard Coach Li say, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.'"
"Humph, this is not true."
