In the solemn imperial meeting hall, Prince Sacra pointed crazily at the young man with black hair and black eyes in front of him, and shouted: "So it's you"
When the ministers on both sides of the hall saw Sacra's expression, they were instantly stunned and turned to stone on the spot!
This is a crazy situation! Why is it that Sacra, the majestic Crown Prince and the future heir to the empire, is pointing at a man out of control in the most solemn meeting hall of the empire, in front of all the imperial ministers and His Majesty?
He screamed and looked crazy, barely dancing.
If Sacra was just a prince, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, a dragon would give birth to nine sons, but none of them would become dragons, and not all descendants of emperors would be good sons. It would be wrong if a prodigal son was born and behaved so rudely on such an occasion.
It's really normal.
But the problem is that Sacra is the current Crown Prince and the royal heir who is most likely to be crowned the great treasure and become the next emperor of the Rockwell Empire.
Sacra's sensitive identity destined him not to make mistakes or be disrespectful of etiquette throughout his life. Because his behavior was no longer his personal matter, but a major matter related to the face of the entire Rockwell Empire royal family.
If he did something embarrassing, how embarrassing would it be for the entire Rockwell Empire royal family!
No, His Majesty Austin, who was sitting on the throne, was so angry that he clenched his fists, his face was ashen, and he snorted heavily.
On the right side of the hall, sitting close to the throne, Right Chancellor Letiwin, the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, also covered his eyes with his hands and turned his head away, barely scratching his forehead with the words "I have no face to watch anymore."
'.
As for our client, His Royal Highness Prince Sacra, he did not realize at all that he had caused a big disaster. Instead, he looked high-spirited and pointed at Zhang Yunfeng fiercely and said, "Boy, I finally found you. I thought I would never meet you again.
I didn’t expect you to come to my door on your own initiative. Well, I won’t let you fool me this time. You just wait to die!”
Facing his vicious shouting, Zhang Yunfeng shrugged speechlessly, completely ignoring Sacra's murderous gaze that could penetrate him.
When Sacra saw Zhang Yunfeng despising her so much, she was furious and was about to deal with this guy who dared to ignore her.
But before he could get angry, someone got angry at him.
"Sir, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that you are a dignified prince? Why don't you step down quickly?" On the throne, Austin roared at Sacra.
After being yelled at by Austin, Sacra regained some clarity and quickly looked around. However, he found ministers looking at him with strange eyes, as well as a man on the throne with a pale face and angry eyes.
Father, his heart suddenly clicked, and he secretly said, "Oops!"
In fact, with Sacra's original personality, he would not make such a reckless move.
It's just that yesterday he was tricked into returning to the imperial city from the Celta family, and then he was reprimanded by his own father. This made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Sacra, who had always had everything going smoothly, very angry.
But when he was about to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out the royal guard who dared to lie to him and take revenge, he found that there was no such person in the Royal Knights. This made him unable to find an outlet for his anger.
All the channels were accumulated in his heart. As a result, when he saw Zhang Yunfeng, the culprit, he immediately became furious and lost control, which is why he showed such a gaffe.
"Father, please forgive me. I was so angry that I lost my bearings. Please forgive me, father." Sacra quickly knelt down on the red carpet in the hall and apologized to Austin, who was sitting on the throne with a gloomy face.
"You'd better give me a suitable reason, otherwise, I think I have to consider whether your position as the prince should be changed!" Austin said with a cold face.
When Sacra heard this, he was immediately shocked and quickly recounted what happened in the Celta family yesterday.
However, Sacra can sit firmly on the throne of the prince, so he is not an ordinary person. After the initial anger, his mood began to stabilize, he spoke clearly and clearly, and he did not forget to conceal the transaction between him and Slater.
He pretended that he was visiting Slater, his future father-in-law, out of politeness. Then he was deceived by Zhang Yunfeng and rushed back to the imperial city. He happened to be pretended to be in a very bad mood by Austin at the time and reprimanded him severely. As a result.
I was depressed, so I lost my temper temporarily in the meeting hall.
After listening to Sacra's explanation, Austin's expression softened a lot.
"Father, I have something important to say!" After Sacra explained to Austin, he shouted again.
"Say!" Austin nodded and said calmly.
"Yes!" Sacra bowed his hand to Austin on the throne, then pointed to Zhang Yunfeng next to him and said, "I want to report Count Zhang Yunfeng for pretending to be a member of the Royal Knights and confusing the royal heir."
Austin immediately turned his attention to Zhang Yunfeng and said seriously: "How about it, Zhang Yunfeng, do you have anything to explain?"
When Sacra heard Austin's words, she glared at Zhang Yunfeng fiercely, as if she wanted to devour Zhang Yunfeng.
The other ministers looked at Zhang Yunfeng with something strange in their eyes.
Slater, on the other hand, was sweating profusely with shock. You must know that according to the laws of the Rockwell Empire, if you impersonate an imperial officer, you will be punished. At the least, you will be stripped of your official position and thrown into prison, and at the worst, you will be a prisoner for life.
Slave. Judging from the resentment that His Royal Highness the Prince is showing towards Zhang Yunfeng, it can be imagined that once Zhang Yunfeng loses his noble status, Sacra will definitely not let Zhang Yunfeng go. And Slater, as Zhang Yunfeng's future father-in-law, is naturally very anxious.
On the other hand, Zhang Yunfeng, faced with the strange gazes of Austin and the ministers, as well as the accusation of Sacra, did not change his expression, proudly raised his chest, ignored the vicious gaze of the prince Sacra, smiled slightly, and said with shocking words;
"Back to Your Majesty, I want to file a counter-attack against His Majesty the Crown Prince, to avenge my personal vendetta and slander the nobles."
As soon as Zhang Yunfeng said this, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves. When the ministers present heard his words, they couldn't help but feel that everything had turned around.
A moment ago, the prince was still pretending to be the Royal Knights, intending to punish Zhang Yunfeng.
The next moment, Zhang Yunfeng took up the banner of avenging private revenge and slandering the nobles to fight back against the prince.
The charges held by both parties are not light! Moreover, the charges proposed by Zhang Yunfeng are somewhat higher and more reasonable than those proposed by the prince.
After all, Zhang Yunfeng had used His Majesty Austin's promise to break off the marriage between the prince and Milia. So there must have been some dispute between Zhang Yunfeng and the prince. Combined with the fact that the prince showed cruelty and gaffes after meeting Zhang Yunfeng again.
, also indirectly proves this point.
Under such circumstances, the prince said that Zhang Yunfeng impersonated the Royal Knights. Regardless of whether this accusation could be proven or not, the prince could never get away with his reputation of avenging public and private revenge.
"You're talking nonsense!" The prince shouted angrily after hearing Zhang Yunfeng's counterattack; "When will I publicly avenge my private revenge and slander the nobles?"
The crime Zhang Yunfeng assigned him was not a small one!
It's nothing to avenge a private grudge. With his status as the prince and the prestige of the Larry family, the imperial ministers present did not dare to say anything. But the charge of slandering the nobles is not a joke. Even His Royal Highness, Prince Sacra, does not dare to say anything.
Dare to take responsibility easily.
It should be noted that the reason why nobility attracts so many civilians and slaves is not only the superior status of nobles, but also the rights and interests possessed by the nobles themselves. A nobleman, even the lowest baron, can't do anything without a noble.
In the case of definite evidence of guilt, even the emperor cannot make arbitrary judgments without reason, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince Sacra.
Once the charge of slandering a nobleman is proven, even if he is the current prince, he will be tried by the people of the Imperial Noble Hall. Even his natal family, the Larry family, will not dare to protect him, and he will also be hostile to all the nobles of the empire.
.Therefore, the crime of slandering the nobles was something that Saccra would never get involved with.
"Then you are also talking nonsense! When did I pretend to be a member of the Royal Knights! Where is the evidence?" Zhang Yunfeng looked at the frustrated Sacra with a smile and said with a confident smile!
Sacra was suffocated when he heard this. Although he could use his own life as a guarantee, the young man with black hair and black eyes in front of him was definitely the guy who deceived him in Celta yesterday and claimed to be the deputy captain of the elite team of the Royal Knights.
, but he just has no evidence!
As soon as he heard his father summoning him, he hurried back to the imperial city in a hurry. Except for a few personal guards he brought with him, there were no other powerful witnesses at all. If he asked his personal guards to come out,
If he proves that Zhang Yunfeng is the guy who deceived him yesterday, he will definitely be accused of instigating his subordinates to slander Zhang Yunfeng.
In this way, his accusations of slandering the nobles and avenging personal vendettas were all proven true. Moreover, he took the blame himself. Sacra would not be so stupid as to do such a thankless thing.
But except for those personal guards, there were no other powerful witnesses around him at the time. How could he prove that Zhang Yunfeng was the liar yesterday?
Just when Sacra was distressed, he accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Slater sitting on the right side of the hall with an anxious look on his face.
Sacra's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said loudly: "What happened yesterday, apart from me and a few personal guards, I saw this Zhang Yunfeng pretending to be a member of the Royal Knights. Marquis Slater was also present, and he can testify."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed straight to the right side of the hall.
Everyone in the hall looked in the direction the prince pointed and saw Slater, who was sweating profusely.
With everyone staring at him like this, the sweat on Slater's head became even more intense, and there was a faint tendency to sweat like a waterfall. But since Sacra had named him, he couldn't sit here anymore.
So Slater walked slowly from his seat to the red carpet in the center of the hall, facing everyone's gaze.
"Marquis Slater, please tell everyone in front of my father and all the imperial ministers whether this person is the sinner who pretended to be the Royal Knights yesterday and deceived the royal heir." Sacra pointed at Zhang Yunfeng with a proud look on his face.
Asked Slater. As he spoke, he gave Slater a few winks, indicating that he would testify against Zhang Yunfeng's counterfeiting charge according to his own statement.
He is quite relieved about Slater, because he still has the clue that Miliya is not perfect. If Slater dares not to do what he says, he can expose this matter.
Not only will Slater's official position be in jeopardy, but the entire Celta family will also be implicated. I believe Slater also knows the seriousness of the matter and understands what he should say and what he should not say.
"This" Facing the gazes of Sacra, Austin and other ministers, Slater was speechless for a moment.
"Marquis Slater, can you please tell me what you saw yesterday?" Austin, who was sitting on the throne, saw Slater's appearance and couldn't help but urge him.
Sacra even gave him a sinister look, signaling him to speak quickly.
When he met the prince's gaze, Slater shrank inwardly, but when he saw Zhang Yunfeng next to him, who had a sunny smile from beginning to end, he felt more confident for no reason. He straightened his back and said loudly: "Return to your majesty, yesterday
Your Majesty indeed saw members of the Royal Knights at home, summoning His Majesty’s command as an excuse to invite His Royal Highness back to the Imperial City!”
As soon as Slater said this, there was a gasp of air-conditioning in the hall, and everyone's eyes turned from Slater to Zhang Yunfeng next to him.
Before, Zhang Yunfeng asked Austin to dissolve his marriage to Sacra in the name of his sincere love for Miliya. But now Miliya's father has come out to help Prince Sacra testify against Zhang Yunfeng's crimes. Such a change is too great.
So dramatic.
Many ministers looked at Zhang Yunfeng with gloating looks in their eyes.
Hearing this, Austin's brown pupils flashed with a hint of coldness.
As for Sacra and Right Chancellor Letiwen, who had suffered under Zhang Yunfeng before, they were even more happy, planning how they would take revenge on Zhang Yunfeng after His Majesty announced Zhang Yunfeng's crime later.
Being in the center of everyone's attention, Zhang Yunfeng showed no change in mood. He still had a sunny smile on his face, as if he wasn't worried about what was going to happen at all.
At this time, Slater said again; "However, the person who claimed to be a member of the Royal Knights at that time was wearing a Forbidden Army-style armor with a mask, and I could not see his appearance. Therefore, I cannot confirm this Zhang Yunfeng.
Earl, is he the one who summoned the prince yesterday?"
As soon as Slater said these words, everyone in the meeting hall suddenly became petrified, and even Sacra, who was originally full of confidence, stood stunned on the spot.
This is a crazy situation! Didn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s nominal father-in-law, Marquis Slater, testify for His Royal Highness that Zhang Yunfeng pretended to be a member of the Royal Knights? Why is he now defending Zhang Yunfeng? What the hell is this?
