Ironically, these members of the Imperial Clan call the commoners lowly, which might provoke their master.
"His Majesty sees the commoners as kin, yet you dare to wield such authority, calling them low. Under whose banner do you inflate your prestige?"
Xiao Rongyan's voice was soft, his tone not severe, but it was enough to frighten these clan members into bowing immediately, declaring their fear.
"Let the General who guards the city step forward and speak..." Xiao Rongyan glanced at the clan members, his gaze shifting to the rear.
The General immediately stepped forward and said, "Reporting to... the Regent Prince, the Imperial Court initially ordered that, due to the rampant epidemic in our Yan Kingdom, precious medicines should not be sent to the cities of Zhou. Yet Zhu Chengru secretly colluded with the enemy, sending the scarce medicines from our Liyi to Anshun City, therefore..."
"Nonsense!"
