The voice was flat, without joy or anger, and there was no trace of any emotion. It was as if these things and words were already in the past and let go for Quan Jin.

But the officials knew.

She didn't give up.

She is still the one who yearns for freedom, but gives up everything because of responsibility.

"Si Yu killed his father and massacred nineteen people. I don't want to explain the reasons, because my decisions are always orders, not consultations."

"I don't know after you hear my decision."

"Would you blame me for being unfair?"

"Will you believe in me and support me unconditionally as before? No matter what you do, I will not be disappointed. Because if I were you, I would also want to be treated fairly."

Quan Jin's cold and calm voice spread throughout every corner of Fengjiang.

She had no idea; in other words, she never felt how important she was in the hearts of others.

but;

She still asked something that came from her heart and had not confirmed it for twenty years: "But today, I want to leave this decision-making power to you."

"I am XZ Quan Jin, and I want Si Yu to be acquitted."

"So, what about you?"

As soon as Quan Jin finished his last five words, a voting box suddenly popped up on the chip screen of the people in Fengjiang.

It's clearly marked on it.

The first column: [Si Yu's death sentence]

The second column: [not guilty and pardoned]

The decision-making power this time will be given to the people of Fengjiang, everyone who longs for fairness but trusts her extremely. She doesn't know what the people of Fengjiang will choose, I really don't know.

I don't know how important my position is in their hearts.

But she wants to gamble.

Lose everything and take a gamble.

"Is Si Yu our royal princess? She killed her father and massacred Jiujiu. According to the rules of the feudal territory, it is a death sentence, and it is an unforgivable crime."

"Is the young master going to let Si Yu go because of his personal feelings?"

"...."

Whether it is a low-class family or a high-class family, voices of discussion are heard in every corner of the territory.

Everyone was silent.

until--

Someone's voice rang in my ears: "Fengjiang was conquered by my little master."

"It was she who repelled the foreign invaders."

"Peace is also given to her by her."

"She could have given the order directly regardless of anyone's objections, and Si Yu would be innocent. No one dared to object, because she is the mistress and has this right."

Those people who bear the surname Fengjiang have stories about Quan Jin flashing through their minds.

They also want justice.

Many times I have wanted to ask why someone with a high status and a strong backing can kill people without restraint? Why should ordinary people commit crimes that require the death penalty, but Si Yu can be acquitted?

[Countdown to voting: ten, nine,]

[Eight, seven...]

"Have you thought about the answer?" all the people in Fengjiang asked.

"The choice has been made."

"Which column did you choose?"

"Do you still remember how foreign invaders invaded Fengjiang and were voted by the headquarters to abandon hundreds of thousands of people from lower-class families? Only one person stood up and said that no one from Fengjiang should be touched?"

"I remember, she said her name was Quan Jin."

"right."

"Quan Jin, I vowed to respect you as king for the rest of my life. She used her blood to seal the territory for us. I trust her more than fair."

This is a conversation that can be heard throughout the entire territory.

Everyone laughed from the bottom of their hearts, laughing until their eyes turned red. They pursed their lips. Faced with Quan Jin's bet of losing everything, what decision would they make?

Is it the death penalty for surrendering to Si Yu?

Or acquitted?

A voting box suddenly popped up on the screen in the trial hall.

Quan Jin turned his back to the screen and did not turn around to look.

Time passed little by little.

Everyone closed their eyes tightly. Mr. Si's palms were sweating and his whole body was cold. He was so afraid that after the voting ended, the column showing Si Yu's death sentence would be displayed on the screen!

"Tick-"

【Voting is over!】

The head of the headquarters who had cast his vote raised his heart to his throat first, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He slowly turned his head in fear, and his eyes stayed on the row of results in the voting box!

Then--

"hiss!"

"Little...little master! You, look..." The minister seemed to have seen something extremely unbelievable, his eyes widened, and he stared at the answer displayed on the screen.
