Chapter 431: Lessons
"Your Highness, please spare her life! My girl... is still young and doesn't understand!"
Lord Mi's mouth trembled as he pleaded with Li Jingyang.
He even pulled Mi Lingjun to his side and made them kneel down together.
However, Li Jingyang remained silent for a long time.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Lin Rusi.
"Asi, what do you think we should do about this? Do you want to forgive her or not?"
Then Li Jingyang's gaze was shifted to Mi Lingjun.
They looked at her as if she were trash.
The current Mi Lingjun no longer has the arrogant and domineering demeanor she once had.
He knelt down on the ground, meek and submissive.
After all, Mi Lingjun has now realized how serious the situation is.
If she had foreseen the current situation, she certainly wouldn't have done it this way.
However, Lord Mi was extremely anxious at this moment.
Lin Rusi delayed giving a definite answer, which caused Lord Mi to kneel down and beg for Lin Rusi's forgiveness.
"Your Highness, please forgive my daughter! I promise I will never do it again!"
"She was just confused for a moment and didn't weigh the seriousness of the matter!"
"Besides, you're not seriously injured, otherwise this matter..."
Lord Mi spoke while pondering.
"Your humble servant... Your humble servant will definitely send her to a temple to repent!"
However, Lord Mi's words did elicit a reaction from Lin Rusi.
Lin Rusi never intended to have much of a entanglement with Mi Lingjun.
After all, this matter did not cause any harm to Lin Rusi.
So Lin Rusi turned a blind eye.
As for Mi Lingjun, Lin Rusi thought to herself, that silly girl should have figured out what to do by now.
Lin Rusi sighed helplessly.
However, when Lord Mi saw Lin Rusi's appearance, he felt that there was an opportunity.
So he immediately kowtowed several more times, pleading hurriedly.
When Mi Lingjun saw her father in this state, she immediately panicked and followed Lord Mi in kowtowing.
Not only that, Mi Lingjun's tears had already been streaming down her face.
She looked so pitiful.
But nobody here appreciates it.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll forgive you for now."
After hearing Lin Rusi's words, Lord Mi and Mi Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you so much, Your Highness!"
The two of them kept talking and kowtowing.
They only stopped when Lin Rusi waved her hand.
However, those who were watching now looked at Lin Rusi with new respect.
After all, Mi Lingjun was truly ruthless and wanted to kill Lin Rusi.
But I never expected Lin Rusi to be so righteous.
At this moment, everyone thought Lin Rusi was quite generous.
"I never imagined that the Crown Princess would be this kind of person!"
"I really misunderstood Your Majesty before!"
"Yes, yes, I don't know who spread that rumor before! I definitely won't believe it again!"
……
Hearing the servants' evaluations of her, Lin Rusi couldn't help but sigh.
However, Li Jingyang, who was standing to the side, was very unhappy.
After all, Mi Lingjun's attempt to harm Lin Rusi failed.
If she isn't punished, she might do it again in the future.
However, Lin Rusi noticed Li Jingyang's behavior.
Moreover, Li Jingyang had no intention of letting Mi Lingjun go.
They planned to secretly hire someone to deal with her.
There's no way we can let Mi Lingjun have an easy time.
At this moment, the emperor also noticed the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
So he stepped in and took charge of the overall situation.
Mainly, he didn't want Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi to have their relationship ruined because of a woman like that.
"Alright, all of you, shut up."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the chattering crowd immediately fell silent.
Li Jingyang, standing to the side, also held Lin Rusi in his arms.
Lord Mi and Mi Lingjun, who were kneeling, still did not get up.
"He already has to deal with these political affairs, and the Crown Prince is quite busy every day. You are just adding to his troubles."
The emperor frowned as he scanned the people before him.
The kneeling Lord Mi and Mi Lingjun trembled violently.
He then lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows you were wrong. It is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter..."
Lord Mi responded to the emperor's words, trembling.
At that moment, the emperor's sharp gaze swept over them.
Lord Mi was so frightened that he dared not utter a single word.
"I don't care whether you've failed to raise your daughter properly. If that's the case, why don't you take this woman elsewhere and raise her properly?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Lord Mi was speechless.
He had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow desperately.
Li Jingyang, standing to the side, gently curled the corners of his lips.
"Asi, are you tired now? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Li Jingyang's question has not yet received a response from Lin Rusi.
He then picked up Lin Rusi without asking her to do so.
However, Li Jingyang's hug drew cheers from the others.
This made Mi Lingjun feel even more ashamed.
"You, you..."
Lin Rusi spoke in an exceptionally delicate manner, but rested her head on Li Jingyang's shoulder.
Everyone fell silent.
Even the emperor turned his attention to the two of them.
But the emperor could only shake his head helplessly.
He was laughing more happily than everyone else.
"Let's put everything else aside for now and deal with these important political matters first, then we can tackle those."
However, the emperor's words relieved Lord Mi.
It seems there's still hope for my daughter.
"Don't rush things now. These matters concerning the inner palace are ones that I can't make up my mind about either. They should all be left to the Crown Prince to handle."
However, the next sentence plunged Lord Mi into despair.
Meanwhile, Mi Lingjun, who was standing to the side, also collapsed to the ground.
She recalled Lord Mi's angry gaze.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Jingyang chimed in, leaving the Mi family father and daughter at a loss for what to do.
The others immediately understood and hurriedly echoed the emperor's words.
"The Emperor is right. After all, this is just their private matter and shouldn't be discussed in public."
"However, this is originally the Crown Prince's family matter, and we, as his subjects, have no right to interfere."
"I really don't know how to deal with Lord Mi's family?"
……
The crowd started chattering again.
They were all talking about how the Mi family had handled the situation.
Many people mentioned temples.
However, the emperor was also listening intently from the side.
They hoped to hear some good advice from these ministers.
However, Lin Rusi was already tired and dozed off on Li Jingyang's shoulder.
