Huangfu Yuxuan mentioned the Pingzong period, bringing up the event that shook the entire court back then, making people recall the reasons for the severe consequences of that time.
His voice became even colder: "Now, Shang Jingwang, with a mere low-ranking official position as a prefect, dares to challenge the ancestral laws of Nanxia and disrupt the Nanxia Law Code.

When it involves ancestral laws and the fate of the nation, it is no longer a trivial matter.
The Crown Prince spoke on Shang Jingwang's behalf, citing national fate and the people's welfare, attempting to suppress Marquis Anning.
However, Huangfu Yuxuan, citing ancestral laws and the Nanxia Law Code, sought to convict Shang Jingwang, clearly standing on a higher moral ground than the Crown Prince.
At this moment, the Crown Prince's face was as if he had swallowed a fly.
