Chapter 219: Slapping Prime Minister Xun Across the Face

Opening the box in public, it was thought that what emerged would win the admiration of the Miao King; who could have expected it to be a resounding slap?

This slap was a brutal one, delivered boldly before the citizens of the Capital City, squarely landing on Prime Minister Xun's face.

Prime Minister Xun, a man of high status, deeply respected by the people, had never faced such humiliation before.

His hands, hidden within his broad sleeves, clenched tightly into fists.

The gathered crowd, meanwhile, stood dumbfounded.

Who could explain these events? Was the Miao King offering a goodwill gift, or was it a blatant show of dominance?

Prime Minister Xun maintained his composed expression as he ordered firmly, "Someone, carry the Princely Heir inside."

"Yes, sir!"

Two guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion stepped forward, preparing to lift the half-dead Xun Yu.

Prime Minister Xun corrected, "The box! Carry the box!"
