After hearing this, Hai Qing was not moved. Instead, he took the black hat on his head, held it up with both hands, walked towards the emperor's coffin a few steps, lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor three times, then placed the hat upright next to the coffin, and turned around and left silently.

This move is self-evident. Hai Qing was only a minister of the emperor and not an official under the rule of King Ning. He did not recognize King Ning. If King Ning became emperor, Hai Qing would rather resign than do so.

In front of so many people, this move was slapping King Ning in the face.

King Ning's face suddenly sank, and his eyes shot towards Hai Qing like a sharp blade. However, Hai Qing was unaware of it and walked forward on his own.

Pei Xiaoqing looked at the figure with straight back but gray hair, and felt a little sad. When she was resisting marriage, Hai Qing had helped her a lot. When he left, he was afraid that his life would be difficult to protect. Even if King Ning didn't kill him explicitly, he would be assassinated.

She felt excited and stood up desperately and said, "Sir Hai, stay."

Everyone looked over in surprise, and never expected that a young woman would stand up and speak when she was so nervous and depressed.

Hai Qing didn't seem to hear it, and continued to move forward. Pei Xiaoqing went out and said loudly: "Everyone said that Lord Hai is dedicated to serving the people, and is the most honest and strict official in the Great Zhou Dynasty. But the little girl seems that Lord Hai is just a fame."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone was shocked, and some people glared at Pei Xiaoqing coldly. It was indeed King Ning's daughter-in-law. Hai Qing opposed King Ning's ascension to the throne. King Ning was not good at killing Hai Qing in public, for fear of losing her reputation. She, the daughter-in-law, spoke rudely and slandered Hai Qing.

Hai Qing did stop and turned around and looked at Pei Xiaoqing openly. He couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, in the hall of hundreds of people, it was Pei Xiaoqing, a weak woman, who spoke to him.

"Second Young Master, you are a little intimate. I wonder what this is meant by this?" Hai Qing said coldly.

"I just want to ask Lord Hai why he wants to be an official?" Pei Xiaoqing looked at Hai Qing deeply and said.

"Nature is to serve the country and seek welfare for the people." Hai Qing said.

"Since he serves the country and seeks welfare for the people, Lord Hai is in the third rank, why did he resign again?" Pei Xiaoqing asked again.

"The slanderous ministers are in power, and the orthodox are not upheld. Hai Qing does not want to be a minister in the second palace, so you resign from your official position." Hai Qing said with a clear voice.

This statement directly points to King Ning as a slander, and further shows that he does not recognize King Ning as the right to inherit.

King Ning's face became even more ugly.

"Mr. Hai is a bad word. The emperor's funeral is a natural law. No matter who becomes an emperor, it is impossible to live a long life without any stagnation. There will always be a time to funeralize the sky, and life is limited. This is an irresistible thing. Since the master is an official, he is a servant of the country and a good minister of the country, and his parents are the ones who are the ones. Is he a clear voice and loudly asked.

This statement is extremely bold. In this society where imperial power is supreme and monarchs centralized in their thinking, she actually said that being an official only serves the country and the people, not the emperor, is extremely dangerous. People, including many royal families, looked at Pei Xiaoqing in shock.

"Bold, it's simply a traitor, a traitor." Sure enough, a man who looked like a Grand Secretary of the Longtu Pavilion pointed at Pei Xiaoqing and cursed.

But Hai Qing fell into deep thought.
