King Han's words, though seemingly placating, subtly rebuke the Emperor. He cannot openly criticize with harsh language, but this manner is acceptable.
It's just a change in tone.
"King Han, you've just returned to normalcy and dare to secretly admonish the Emperor." Cao Ninger clearly heard it and spoke out for her master: "Don't assume everyone else is a fool, King Han, this is great disrespect."
"Xuanyuan Realm, which place isn't the Emperor's? The Emperor can do whatever he wants."
"King Han, you must kneel and plead for the Emperor's forgiveness."
"Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're a Prince."
"Damn!" King Teng heard a eunuch dare to reprimand King Han, King Yan, and others; he wouldn't get angry, but this was a rebuke to their faction. They've aligned with the Emperor Lineage, so he went up and slapped.
"Slap!"
Cao Ninger was sent flying by the slap, blood streaming from her mouth.
