Chapter 296

Li Yunning and Shen Bao'er were taken aback upon hearing these words. Was kneeling not considered a form of courtesy?

Despite wanting to refute Shangguan Xuanyi, both dared not to say anything and hastily stood up to kneel again.

"No need!"

Upon hearing his words, the two gave a sigh of relief. As they thought, the Sixth Prince still knew when to have mercy. He didn't even require them to kneel anymore.

Both of them felt at ease after standing up.

However, Shangguan Xuanyi's next words shattered their joy, sending them from heaven straight into hell.

"If you plead with someone, you should show sincerity. Go kneel in the courtyard until I can see it."

They looked at each other to confirm whether they had heard that correctly.

After getting affirmative answers from each other's eyes, they turned their gaze towards the courtyard outside.

It was midmorning now, right? The sun was at its peak!
