An Eight-year-old Princess

The guard answered, "Yes. They were alone in the yard. There was no one else."

The Head of the Court of Justice turned to look at Wen Qingzhu. "Mister Wen, why did you stab the third Prince?"

All the guests looked at Wen Qingzhu. Wen Ruyu had recently said that her brother hadn't met Cangjue Qingsu before. Why had he stabbed Cangjue Qingsu? It would not be strange if Mr. Wen had stabbed Prince Qingsu because he bore a deep grudge against the Prince.

Wen Qingzhu sneered. "The State of Yelang makes war on us. The people living on the border live in an abyss of misery. Cangjue Qingsu is the supreme commander. As a native of the State of Ning, I should kill them all."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Wen Qingzhu was smart. He actually made such a good excuse.

The truth seemed to have been revealed. The State of Yelang and the State of Ning were enemies, so Wen Qingzhu stabbed the third Prince of the State of Yelang out of patriotism. In this case, Emperor Ning was trapped in a dilemma. If he didn't punish Wen Qingzhu, then the State of Yelang would certainly take the opportunity to launch an attack. But if he punished Wen Qingzhu, the people of the State of Ning would be irritated.

All the guests present in the yard had been working in the officialdom for many years, so they clearly knew the stakes involved. All of them lowered their heads and remained silent.

Yun Shang frowned and seemed to have some doubts. "Mister Xing, as a girl and a Princess, I know I should keep silent, but I really don't understand something."
