"Brothers of the Wang family, it can't be this serious, right?"

Zhao Gao frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

These princes rarely showed up and seldom dared to attend court; today, they actually came together. Hehe, the person who incited them behind the scenes truly has ulterior motives.

"Brother Wang, you are mistaken."

The Prince of Li, holding the highest status, stepped forward, his face trembling with excitement: "Brother Qi has always been upright and seldom argues with others. For him to be imprisoned shows how outrageous the other party truly is."

"Upright?"

The crowd below was dumbfounded, nearly fainting from disbelief.

Prince Qi was notorious in the royal capital, known as the flirtatious prince. Speaking up for him should at least be somewhat plausible; this is too ridiculous.

However, the other princes didn’t find anything amiss at all.

"Yes, Brother Wang." The Prince of Rong also shakily stepped forward: "This Qin Chen is not only provoking Prince Qi, but also our Great Qi's royal family and the dignity of the entire Great Qi nation."

If we don't teach him a lesson, he might become lawless. It's too detestable that an old good person like Prince Qi has been imprisoned.

Several princes spoke one after another, filled with righteous indignation, extremely excited.

"Your Majesty, please punish the Alchemy Pavilion severely, and punish that Qin Chen!"

"Indeed, if this matter is not suppressed, the repercussions will be immense."

"Your Majesty, you must do what needs to be done."

Many ministers seized the opportunity to step forward and voice their opinions.

"Ridiculous."

At that moment, Prince Kang sneered, stepping forward and cupping his hands: "Your Majesty, I have a slight understanding of today's events. It's entirely because Prince Qi was reckless in the Alchemy Pavilion that this consequence occurred. If there are repercussions, it is Prince Qi's inability to restrain himself, tarnishing our royal family's dignity."

"Prince Kang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Prince Qi is still your eighth brother; how can you say that about him?"

"Hmph, I heard your daughter is very close to that Qin Chen. You don’t want to marry your daughter to a bastard, do you?"

A group of princes immediately scowled, glaring and letting out cold laughs.

"Prince Rong, how can you speak like that?" Prince Kang's expression darkened: "Even if I want to marry my daughter to Qin Chen, what of it? Qin Chen is incredibly talented, a young martial artist at the Heaven Level, and has earned multiple spots for our Great Qi in the Five Nations Grand Competition. He is indeed a heroic young man, far better than your useless son!"

"You..."

Prince Rong was so furious that he rolled his eyes, almost fainting.

Prince Rong’s son was famous in the royal capital for being an idiot, ridiculed by many. Yet, no one dared to say such things in front of Prince Rong. Unexpectedly, Prince Kang openly stated it in the grand hall, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Could Prince Kang really intend to betroth Princess Ling Shan to Qin Chen? Otherwise, why would he tear apart with Prince Rong in the grand hall and say such things?

"Prince Kang, we are discussing whether to punish Qin Chen and the Alchemy Pavilion. Even if Prince Qi is at fault, he is still a prince and has not committed any major wrongdoings. It is truly excessive for a mere genius to disregard a prince."

"Must be severely punished."

In an instant, the entire grand hall was in uproar, a spectacular scene.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Hearing the crowd almost erupt in chaos, Zhao Gao coldly shouted.

Immediately, the surroundings fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

"Since you all are arguing so fiercely without a clear direction, I have an idea." Zhao Gao said.

Everyone looked over attentively.

Previously, the words of the Prince of Li, Li Lao, and others made sense. However, the Alchemy Pavilion has always been aloof, and even if I want to punish them, I don't know where to start. After all, the Alchemy Pavilion is different from other forces; they do not submit to our Great Qi's feudal system. So, let’s have everyone give me a suggestion on how to punish them. If there are good ideas, I will make the decision, how about that?"
