Chapter 698 - Youre not married yet. (2/2)
Tan Jiahao didn't say anything and listened to his words indifferently.
” You need this alliance more than me. This Bastard dared to punch the Emperor of the Yang Dynasty. To continue our alliance, I want this man's head in compensation for the injury I have incurred.” he said while smirking as he turned to glance at Tan Xiu who hides behind her mother.
However, her expressions were now turned pale as she looked at Yuan Song who was standing there without saying any word.
She pursed her lips and ran out, going in the middle of the court, she kneeled beside Yuan Song, ” Father, please don't do this. Commander Yuan Song did this only to protect him. He didn't have any other intention. ” she begged while rubbing her hands together in front of him.
She turned to Yang Hanying and said, ” Your Majesty, we are marrying in a few days, do you have to start our married life with bloodshed? I...I am marrying you, can't you just let this thing go? I will do anything you say, just let him live. Don't hurt him.” she wailed miserably.
Yuan Song who was standing beside her was shocked and tried to stop her and make her stand up but she shrugged his hand away and continued begging to let him live. He felt uncomfortable seeing her begging that jerk for the sake of his life.
” Princess Tan Xiu, don't do this. I have no problem with his majesty's decision. I have no regrets.” he said while trying to calm her down. He respects Tan Jiahao and would not question his decision even once.
Tan Jiahao looked at them and saw Tan Xiu begging him to spare Yuan Song's life. He clenched his fists before speaking, ” Tan Xiu, stand up.”
”No father. You can't do this. You can't kill him. I won't…
”No one is dying so stop crying,” he said, making her stop crying at the instant.
Yang Hanying frowned and looked at Tan Jiahao in bewilderment as he continued, ” Yuan Song did nothing to deserve punishment. He just fulfilled his task to protect the princess of the Tan Dynasty.” Tan Jiahao said sternly, making everyone shocked.
”What do you mean he did nothing to be punished? His crime can be considered as a terror act since he attacked the Emperor.” Yang Hanying retaliated.
Tan Jiahao turned to him and said, ” What you were doing was a terror act, not his. You were trying to hurt the princess of the Tan Dynasty in her own territory. Emperor Yang Hanying, don't forget that the alliance hasn't been made yet. Tan Xiu hasn't married you yet and is not your consort.” he said, making the latter shocked.
”In that sense, you have no right to hurt her in any way. You might not treat women as humans but here, in the Tan Dynasty, people who try to exploit or hurt the women have to go through severe punishment. Nobody...not even an Emperor can go against this law.” he said while looking at him seriously.
” And you just dared to exploit the Princess of Tan Dynasty, who holds the highest power next to the Empress Dowager.”
