Chapter 143: A powerful dragon can hardly defeat a local snake
General Ma, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, saw this and immediately understood.
If Ye Xinrou is really an extremely noble princess as the rumors say, even if she is so willful and unreasonable.
Given the guilt Ouyang Zhi felt towards the princess, he definitely couldn't bring himself to hit her.
General Ma's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He stared sharply at the Prime Minister standing beside him, pointed his finger directly at Ye Xinrou, and asked bluntly, "Are you sure this woman is the princess? Are you hiding anything?"
Hearing this, the Prime Minister lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at General Ma.
He felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up, as if it was about to burst out of his throat. He thought to himself, "Oh no! Could it be that he has begun to doubt Rou'er's true identity? How is this possible?"
When he gave Ye Chuxue to me, he didn't leave any tokens to prove his identity! How could he be so sure that Rou'er was a fake after just meeting her once?
However, judging by the current situation, he is probably just testing me.
At this critical moment, I must not lose my composure. The most important thing right now is to do everything I can to confirm Rou'er's identity as a princess!"
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister's originally flustered eyes suddenly became firm.
He slowly raised his head, his brows knitted tightly together, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He pretended to be extremely angry and shouted at General Ma in front of him: "General Ma, General Ma, what on earth do you mean by this?
Thinking back to the past, you personally handed Rou'er to me, and I also abided by the promise and raised her wholeheartedly and to the best of my ability. Over the years, I have never let her suffer any grievances or hardships.
But now, you actually dare to question me, that's simply going too far!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Prime Minister suddenly waved his sleeves with such force that a gust of wind was created. Then he turned around resolutely, leaving General Ma with only a cold and resolute back.
When Ye Xinrou, who was standing aside, heard the Prime Minister say that he would never let her return to the Kingdom of Eastern Liao, she suddenly felt panic in her heart.
"How can this be! Absolutely not! I can't continue to stay here as a lowly concubine's daughter. Only by returning to the Eastern Liao Kingdom can my status and position surpass that abominable Ye Chuxue!
If I remain trapped here, I will be bullied by her in the future and will never be able to get out of this situation!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xinrou's face became more ferocious and fierce.
Then, without hesitation, she rushed to General Ma's side, raised her hand and slapped him hard on the cheek.
At the same time, he cursed loudly: "You ignorant dog slave! You are just a guard dog raised by our Dong Liao Kingdom!
How dare you doubt my identity? Believe it or not, I'll send someone to take your head right now!
Hurry up and apologize to the Prime Minister immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you! "
General Ma slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the side of Ye Xinrou's cheek that had just been hit.
His already fierce eyes shot straight at her like sharp arrows, and he said coldly, "Humph! You little girl, you want to take my life? I'm ready to fight you to the end!
But...as for who you really are, I'm afraid you'll have to ask your 'good' father!"
Ye Xinrou felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and the moment she met General Ma's eyes, she involuntarily took a small step back.
However, she quickly regained her composure, as if she had suddenly remembered something important, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face.
He glared at General Ma with his eyes wide open, and roared indignantly: "So that's it! I finally understand. You, a dog slave, are clearly holding a grudge against me for beating and scolding you just now.
That's why you're deliberately making things difficult for me and questioning my identity. You just want to take this opportunity to take revenge on me! You really have a cruel heart!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xinrou turned around abruptly, walked quickly to the Prime Minister's side, put her hand on his arm affectionately, and deliberately lowered her voice, saying softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Father, in my opinion, since this ignorant dog slave dared to be so rude and disrespectful to you and me,
Then why don't we just order him to be beheaded right here and then? To avoid any more trouble in the future.
After you get rid of this guy, you can send someone else to escort your daughter back to Dong Liao State to recognize her relatives. This will be good for everyone, don't you think?
A hint of cruelty suddenly flashed across the depths of the Prime Minister's eyes, as if hiding endless conspiracies and calculations.
He closed his eyes slightly and thought about the plan carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was highly feasible.
Although General Ma is an extraordinary martial arts master and a powerful figure, he is now in his own territory. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so why should we be afraid of him?
His eyes slowly swept over Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue who were standing beside him, and he thought to himself: If I want to successfully carry out this matter, I must first find a way to get these two people away, otherwise there will be endless troubles!
In addition, Ouyang Zhi's life must also be taken today. He must not be allowed to have another chance to ruin his good deeds.
Having made up his mind, the Prime Minister took a deep breath, calmed himself, and walked towards where Yun Muheng was.
When he came closer, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your humble servant greets His Highness Prince Yunxin. I wonder what brings you to my humble abode today?"
Before Yun Muheng could answer, the Prime Minister showed an embarrassment on his face, and then he said, "It's just that, Your Majesty, you came at a very unfortunate time today!
I have some personal matters to attend to at the moment, so I can't be distracted to entertain you properly.
I hope Your Majesty can forgive me. How about I go to the palace another day and apologize to you in person? What do you think?"
However, in the face of the Prime Minister's earnest words, Yun Muheng's face was as gloomy as water. He stared at the other party expressionlessly without saying a word.
However, the powerful aura emanating from his body was like a mountain pressing down on an egg, which invisibly brought an extremely heavy pressure to the Prime Minister, making it difficult for him to breathe.
At that moment, the Prime Minister felt like a string about to break and could no longer bear this stalemate.
His lips trembled slightly, as if they would open again in the next second and spit out the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
