Emperor Wu'an was also stunned and looked at the old Marquis in disbelief.

He raised such a shameless granddaughter, and he didn't blame him. How dare he plead to himself?

The old Marquis shook his beard, lifted his robe, stepped forward and knelt down, and said nothing more.

Emperor Wu An closed his eyes, anger rising up.

The old Marquis used this kind of behavior to silently protest that he killed Ling Yu indiscriminately. Didn't he accept it?

Does this damn old man really dare to threaten himself when he really thinks he has some merit and is being reused by himself?

Countless thoughts went through Emperor Wu'an's mind instantly, and he had the intention to kill him...

The veins on Emperor Wu'an's forehead were throbbing, and he was thinking of some excuse to kill this old man!

A wise child is like a mother!

The Queen Mother guessed what Emperor Wu An was thinking when she saw his expression. She frowned, raised her hand, held him down, and said softly.

"There is a serious shortage of military generals now. Although the four countries have a temporary truce, the war will continue, and generals like the old marquis are still needed! Your Majesty, be careful!"

After hearing this, Emperor Wu An suppressed his murderous intention and stared at the old Marquis fiercely.

He opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything to allow Ling Yu to defend himself.

The old marquis, relying on his status as a veteran of the founding fathers, had shown off his power in front of him all these years, and he longed to kill him!

But the Queen Mother is right. Generals are scarce nowadays. If the old marquis is killed, once there is a war, he will not have a capable general at his disposal!

A small leak will sink a great ship!

Seeing that Emperor Wu'an could not come down, the Queen Mother smiled gently and said: "Okay, today's Ai family's birthday party is an auspicious day! No blood!"

"Your Majesty, Ling Yu was invited by the Ai family again. Please give the Ai family some face and allow Ling Yu to defend herself!"

"If it is proven that the child is not the fourth child, he will be handed over to the clan government for conviction!"

These words made Emperor Wu An's face soften a little, and he handed it over to the Zongren Mansion. He wouldn't kill him if he wanted to!

He glared at the old Marquis fiercely, and then said coldly: "Okay, just follow the mother's wishes and let Ling Yu come back to defend herself..."

Qin Ruosi, Shen Juan, and the one whom Princess Pingyang shouted so fiercely just now were a little disappointed, but the Queen Mother had already spoken, and they did not dare to question it.

I could only think sadly, let's see how Ling Yu can clean up this time!

Ling Yu heard the old Houye's roar while she was still outside. When she was pulled back, she saw the old Houye kneeling under the stage.

Tears filled her eyes. Sure enough, the one who loved her most in the world was the old Marquis!

How can she be so virtuous and capable that she has a grandpa who protects her like this!

For someone with such a bad reputation like her, she even had to kneel down!

You know, the old Marquis has made great contributions to establishing the country for the Supreme Emperor!

Back then, he was so favored by the Supreme Emperor that he would not kneel before you!

Even the current Emperor Wu'an must obey the Supreme Emperor's will and allow the old Marquis not to kneel before you!

This honor has lasted for more than 20 years now, and it is the only one among the civil and military officials in the dynasty!

But Ling Yu didn't know how to cherish such a mountain of love. For four years, she didn't even visit his old man!

Her heart twitched for a while, Ling Yu felt sorry for the old master, that at such a young age he still suffered such injustice for himself!

The Queen Mother is always sentimental, and she and the old Marquis shared hardships when they were young.

When she saw her old friends kneeling down for Ling Yu, she also felt sorry for the old Marquis.

The Queen Mother glanced around the audience, passing over the face of Ling Yu's father, Ling Xiangsheng, before settling on Ling Yu, and said with a hint of pity.

"Ling Yu, the old Marquis has given you a chance to defend yourself! Cherish it!"

The queen mother didn't say anything when Ling Yu was beheaded just now, because she wanted to take this opportunity to test Ling Yu!

Who would have thought that if Ling Yu was in trouble, no one would help except the old Lord Hou!

How could this girl, who seems so kind-hearted, end up betraying everyone?

"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty...Thank you, Grandpa, for giving Ling Yu a chance!"

Ling Yu pulled Ling Yue to kneel down, and she said solemnly: "Ling Yu was taught by her grandfather since she was a child, and she is by no means a womanizing woman!"

"If you say it's not true, it's not true! It's impossible for the old Marquis to follow you at any time. How does he know what you are doing outside!"

Princess Pingyang mocked unwillingly.

"That's right, you are not a frivolous person. How could you plot against my brother Lintian back then?" Shen Juan stepped on her unwillingly.
