Chapter 2647: A Misunderstanding

"Princess Consort, you see, it’s not that we don’t want to stop, but that weirdo is just too powerful, injuring so many of us."

Xuexue said coldly, "You were in the wrong first; you can’t blame others."

The Princess Consort of War Prince kept speaking on behalf of that weirdo, making the Nine Gates Admiral suspicious, and he asked, "Princess Consort, do you perhaps know that weirdo?"

Xuexue: "Can’t say I know them, we’ve just met once."

Seeing more and more of his people getting injured and the situation getting out of control, the Nine Gates Admiral had no choice but to humbly plead with Xuexue, "Since the Princess Consort knows that weirdo, could you please speak to him and ask him to stop? Everything’s negotiable."

Xuexue said chillingly, "Since you’ve already accused someone of being a spy, I dare not casually ask him to stop. Wouldn’t that harm him if I did so?"

The Nine Gates Admiral put on a fake smile and said warmly, "Ha ha ha...! Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?"

"Yes, a misunderstanding!"

"Sir, when I ask him to stop later, make sure you don’t go back on your word!"

"A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

Xuexue glanced at him, his fat head and big ears, a face full of treachery, and he’s a gentleman? Even a pig wouldn’t believe that.

However, a mere Nine Gates Admiral meant nothing to Xuexue; as long as Long Rui stomped his foot, even The Emperor would be wary, so what was a mere Nine Gates Admiral?

Xuexue loudly shouted to the weirdo darting around, "Senior, stop, the Nine Gates Admiral said he was wrong to call you a spy, you should stop now! He said he wants to apologize to you in public!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Gates Admiral’s legs went weak, his fat body leaned backward, and he was about to fall to the ground.

The advisor standing next to him reacted quickly, reaching out to support him.

However, with his bamboo-like physique, he couldn’t support the Nine Gates Admiral’s massive body, and in the end, they both rolled to the ground together.

"Oh dear! Sir, you’re crushing me to death!"

The advisor, as thin as a monkey, was pressed to the ground by the Nine Gates Admiral’s massive body, only his head with a grimace exposed, showing an expression of extreme discomfort, looking as if he could keel over any second.

The Nine Gates Admiral, weighing over two hundred pounds, trembled as he struggled to get up, not forgetting to curse the advisor a few times, "How can I, as light as a feather, crush you to death? Utter nonsense."

He despised being called fat all his life; was he fat? No, he was well-rounded, unlike the advisor’s stick-thin body, ready to snap at any moment. He himself had a prosperous look, or else he wouldn’t have achieved the position of Nine Gates Admiral.

The advisor couldn’t be more frustrated inwardly, roaring in his heart, Sir, you almost squashed my innards flat, and you dare to call yourself light? Compared to my family’s pig, you weigh twice as much.

However, these thoughts were best left unspoken.

Xuexue cast a sidelong glance at the Nine Gates Admiral and taunted, "Isn’t the Sir unable to stand straight? Feeling weak from skipping a meal?"

"Hehe... been busy with national affairs lately, feeling a bit drained!"

In reality, the Nine Gates Admiral was furious, what did the Princess Consort mean? When did he ever say he’d apologize to a crippled weirdo?

How could an Imperial Appointed Official like him apologize to a crippled weirdo? It would ruin his reputation, and he’d become a laughingstock among his peers.

Yet, he dared not lose his temper at the Princess Consort, for her husband’s power was such that even a stomp of the foot would make Moli Country quake.
