Chapter 210 The right to dispose is left to you
Although Lin Xiuqing's heart was filled with hatred towards Feng Yanan, like a burning fire, she forced herself to suppress this unwillingness. She knew that bowing her head and admitting her mistakes at this moment was her only chance to keep herself from being sent away. She couldn't let her life be ruined because of this.
She kowtowed deeply, her voice trembling a little, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored Miss Feng's advice, and I shouldn't have provoked your guards. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Seeing Lin Xiuqing bow his head and admit his mistake, the people around him followed suit, kneeling down one by one, knocking their heads against the ground, begging for mercy. They knew that the prince in front of them was not someone they could offend. Their attitude just now was enough to cause serious consequences.
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty! We have offended Your Majesty by being blind and ignorant. Please have mercy on us, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, we know we were wrong and will never speak nonsense again. Please give us a chance to make amends!"
The voices of begging for mercy came one after another, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to express their sincerity and regret to the prince. Their hearts were filled with fear and regret, regretting their previous impulsiveness and ignorance.
The prince stood on a high place, looking coldly at those who were begging for mercy. His eyes were deep and cold, as if he could see through people's hearts. He did not speak, but looked at Feng Yanan. When Yan Lingxiao turned his gaze to Feng Yanan, his eyes instantly became soft and affectionate, as if she was the only one left in the world. His eyes were gentle and fervent, as if they could attract people deeply and make people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. This formed a sharp contrast with the cold eyes he had just looked at everyone.
Zuo Xinyi knelt aside and did not hear Yan Lingxiao's voice. She looked up slightly and saw Yan Lingxiao's gentle eyes towards Feng Yanan, as if he had poured all his tenderness and warmth into Feng Yanan. Her heart was like being burned by a raging fire, jealousy and anger intertwined, making her hate her teeth itching. She clenched her fists tightly, her fingers turning white from the force, as if she was trying to squeeze out the anger in her heart.
In her opinion, Feng Yanan had no right to be treated so affectionately by Yan Lingxiao. No matter her talent or appearance, she could not be compared with her. However, Yan Lingxiao was so gentle to her that even the prince could not forget her, which made her feel extremely defeated and unwilling.
Yan Lingxiao looked at Feng Yanan quietly, his eyes were like deep lake water, gentle yet powerful. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the air around him into his heart and lungs, then he slowly spoke, his voice low and full of magnetism.
"Nannan," he said softly, "As my future princess, how do you want to deal with them?"
His eyes fell on Feng Yanan's face, as if he was looking for her answer and also looking into her heart. His words were full of respect and trust.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Yanan, and she seemed to be the focus of everyone's attention. Yan Lingxiao's decision undoubtedly gave Feng Yanan great power, which instantly raised her status in front of everyone.
"Your Highness..." A voice broke the silence. It was a woman in the crowd. Her voice was trembling a little. "Your Highness, is this appropriate? After all, this is related to the rules and laws of Dongling Country."
Yan Lingxiao frowned slightly, and glared at the official like a knife: "Rules and laws? Then may I ask, did you abide by the rules and laws in your attitude towards my future princess just now?"
The woman was speechless, and the others lowered their heads, not daring to look Yan Lingxiao in the face. They knew that Yan Lingxiao was famous for his tactics and wisdom, and since he made such a decision, he must have his own intentions.
"Nannan," Yan Lingxiao turned to Feng Yanan again, "You don't need to worry about them, just deal with them according to your wishes. I believe in your wisdom and fairness."
Feng Yanan felt Yan Lingxiao's trust and support. She gave him a look that said "you have a conscience". She took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and then slowly said, "I don't mean to embarrass you. But as the prince said, rules and laws are not empty. I hope you can remember the lesson this time, and be more respectful and humble when dealing with the prince and those high officials, as well as others."
She paused and continued, "As for the treatment..." She glanced at everyone gently, her voice was calm and warm, like a spring breeze, dissolving the previous tense atmosphere. She said gently, "Today, everyone is here to burn incense and pray with a pious heart, hoping to seek peace and good fortune. I don't want these trivial matters to delay everyone's business."
