After hearing Xia Houqi's questioning words, Shen Changyi smiled confidently, looked into Xia Houqi's eyes and said:

"With the prince here, Di Ji will not be hurt."

Shen Changyi knew enough about Xia Houqi's strength and defense. He felt that Xiao Ruyan alone could not cause any harm to Di Ji when he was by her side.

As for Xiao Ruyan's movements, he has always been in control of her. If she wants to poison her, he will replace her in advance to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Hearing what Shen Changyi said, Xia Houqi couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward to give Shen Changyi a slap in the face.

Shen Changyi had now lost all his martial arts and was completely unable to resist the power of Xia Houqi's palm. He was beaten back several steps and even vomited blood.

Shen Changyi covered the place where he was hit on his chest, and then wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Your Majesty deserves this slap. If your Majesty still feels dissatisfied, you can give me another slap. I will never complain."

"you--"

Seeing how stubborn Shen Changyi was, Xia Houqi was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Shen Changyi, but was stopped by Nan Xi.

"Okay, do you really want to beat him to death?" Nan Xi looked at Xia Houqi and advised.

"But how could he just design you like this?"

"Don't worry, I don't mean to let Shen Changyi go just like that. Just be good and watch from the side." Nan Xi said softly to soothe Xia Houqi's emotions.

When Xia Houqi heard what Nan Xi said, he calmed down a little and stood aside to watch Nan Xi deal with Shen Changyi.

Nan Xi walked up to Shen Changyi and asked him to raise his head and look at her.

But Shen Changyi was so embarrassed. Facing the person he had harmed, he could only lower his head in shame.

"Why, when you harmed me, didn't you expect this day to come?" Nan Xi asked coldly.

Hearing this, Shen Changyi had to slowly raise his head:

"I don't have anything to say about how Emperor Ji wants to deal with this humble minister." Shen Changyi bit his lip and said hoarsely.

"In that case, I will punish you by not being allowed to step into the military camp again in the future. In addition, you don't have to go to the morning court in the past six months. You can rest at home and recuperate."

When Nan Xi finished saying this, both Shen Changyi and Xia Houqi suddenly raised their heads and looked at her, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Di Ji, you."

"How about me? Don't think that I'm letting you off lightly this time just for your sake. I'm just looking at the prince's face and not punishing you. I'm also thinking of your meritorious service in the border town, so I won't punish you severely. I hope you will do well in the future. Take care of yourself and don't cause trouble again."

After saying that, Nan Xi left Shen Mansion with Xia Houqi.

When he was sitting on the carriage returning to the palace, Xiahou Qi came back to his senses.

"Did you really spare Shen Changyi just because of me?"

Xia Houqi thought that Nan Xi would definitely not let Shen Changyi go this time. After all, she had always avenged herself.

"Otherwise? If I deal with Shen Changyi, you will be sad, so you will have to give him a small punishment and a big warning to teach him a lesson." Nan Xi said lightly.

When they were in the border town, Nan Xi could see how much Xia Houqi valued Shen Changyi, so he was so angry when he knew that Shen Changyi had released Xiao Ruyan. I had high hopes, but was extremely disappointed. The most uncomfortable thing in my heart right now is that Xia Hou abandoned me.

Besides, she could somewhat understand Shen Changyi's mood.

Xiao Ruyan has been detained and not dealt with since she was brought back to Shengjing from the border town. Shen Changyi would definitely be anxious if he didn't know the inside story, so he took this strategy and wanted her to get rid of Xiao Ruyan's future trouble as soon as possible.

It can only be said that Shen Changyi was too anxious.

When Xia Houqi heard what Nan Xi said, he no longer knew what to say, and felt a little moved:

Nan Xi actually let go of those who tried to harm her for her own sake.

Seeing that Xia Houqi remained silent, Nan Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"What, are you too touched? There is no need to be like this. After all, you are my royal husband, and I should protect you. From now on, you can just serve me well. There is no need to say more."

Hearing this, Xia Houqi chuckled:

"Okay, from now on you must serve Di Ji well and make her feel comfortable."

The two looked at each other and smiled, relieved about the matter.

However, after Shen Changyi caused such an incident, it was indeed inappropriate not to deal with Xiao Ruyan.

After taking three days of wedding leave, Nan Xi and Xia Houqi went to court together and raised the case of eliminating Xiao Ruyan in the court hall.

Not many courtiers knew that Xiao Ruyan was still alive, and Xiao Changheng was one of them, so they were not as surprised as others when they learned about it.

"For the record, father, Xiao Ruyan was the culprit behind the fall of the border town. She used her beauty to seduce the prince of Yelan Kingdom, and then harmed the king of Yelan Kingdom. She drugged all the soldiers of Yelan Kingdom and turned them into killing machines. , attacked the border town of Wansheng Kingdom, causing the people in the border town to suffer miserably. I begged my father to punish Xiao Ruyan——"

Nan Xi recounted everything Xiao Ruyan did in the border town. After listening to the others, everyone was surprised and shocked:

It's really terrifying that a little girl can do this!

Xiao Changheng was sweating profusely when he heard Di Ji talking about his daughter's crime. Originally, he planned to have his daughter robbed from prison and take his daughter away, so that he would never return to Shengjing again.

But Xiao Changheng was not prepared at all for suddenly having to deal with this matter.

"Xiao Aiqing, you really have raised a good daughter." Nangong Rui sneered and nodded at Xiao Changheng.

Xiao Changheng came out immediately and knelt on the court:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The reason why my little girl did these things was because she was confused for a moment. I hope your Majesty will show mercy——"

"Master Xiao, you are so talkative. Can you get away with these crimes just by being confused?" Xia Houqi couldn't help but mock.

"My lord, why bother adding insult to injury now?" Xiao Changheng glared angrily at Xia Houqi and said.

"This king is not adding insult to injury, but I just want to say that Xiao Ruyan killed so many people in the border town, and also harmed the king of Yelan Kingdom, which caused the relationship between Yelan Kingdom and Wansheng Kingdom to break up, causing disputes between the two countries. Even with so many crimes, even if It is not an exaggeration to sentence the nine tribes to death, but Mr. Xiao, you are still speaking for this guilty woman. Has Mr. Xiao forgotten that you are still an official of Wansheng Kingdom? You are an official of Wansheng Kingdom first, and the guilty woman secondly. 's father!"

Xia Houqi was not used to Xiao Changheng. He had always targeted him before. Now that he finally caught him, couldn't he fight back?

Seeing that Xia Houqi was stunned by Xiao Changheng, Nan Xi couldn't help but curl her lips and smile:

Xia Houqi's words were sharp, and his claws were sharp enough. If he scratched him with this claw, he would probably be half disabled even if he didn't die.
