The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 182: Beating Xia Yu to death with a stick for the purpose of granting marriage

All that was heard was Emperor Qianyao's low and steady voice:

"In this case, this maid has personally admitted that I made a mistake in my words and offended the princess.

Then take her away and beat her with a stick until she dies."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... What did you just say?"

When Zhao Nianyue heard this, she turned her head suddenly as if struck by lightning.

In disbelief, he looked at Emperor Qianyao, whose face was as gloomy as water and calm.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please save me! Your Majesty"

Xia Yu was already frightened out of his wits. He kowtowed desperately and cried for mercy at the top of his lungs.

Zhao Nianyue's face changed drastically, and she pleaded anxiously:

"Your Majesty, Xia Yu is my servant, and I have always served you wholeheartedly..."

However, before Zhao Nianyue could finish her words, Emperor Qianyao interrupted her in an unusually gentle tone:

"Yue'er, I know that you are kind-hearted and treat your servants with generosity and kindness.

But such indulgence will only make them more unscrupulous and ignorant of what is good for them.

A slave is just a slave after all, how can I ask my master to plead for me? "

Emperor Qian Yao stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Zhao Nianyue's hand. His tone was slow and firm.

Every word was spoken with exceptional clarity:

"Yue'er, I don't want you to worry about a mere servant."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Nianyue raised her head and looked at Emperor Qian Yao.

There seemed to be endless darkness in the depths of his eyes, which was frightening.

She couldn't help but tremble, and replied softly: "Yes...I understand..."

Seeing that the imperial concubine gave up on him so easily.

Xia Yu was terrified, and she suddenly rushed towards Zhao Nianyue regardless of everything.

She cried out, "My Lady, please save me, My Lady...I have always been following your instructions.

You said that Princess Mingnuo was arrogant and domineering..."

“How dare you!” Emperor Qian Yao shouted angrily and swung his right hand violently.

“How dare you speak nonsense here and slander the imperial concubine.

Come, quickly capture this evil slave, drag him out and beat him to death immediately!"

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two ceremonial guards quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xia Yu tightly, and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty, please save me... Your Majesty, spare my life... Your Majesty... I know I was wrong, Princess Mingnuo... I..."

“Pah…Pah…”

"Ah! My Lady...ah...help...ah..."

Listening to the inhumane and heart-wrenching screams of Xia Yu as he was being beaten with a stick outside the yard.

Zhao Nianyue's face became paler as paper, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She snuggled tightly in Emperor Qianyao's warm and generous embrace, as if only in this way could she get a sense of security.

At this moment, Emperor Qian Yao was holding Zhao Nianyue in his arms, but his eyes were cast on Leng Xinmo, who remained silent.

His eyes were deep and heavy, and his tone was calm and unpredictable.

It seems that I can’t feel what’s happening in the outside world at all:

"Mingnuo, if there is nothing else, you can go back first..."

Leng Xinmo's eyes were slightly cold, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

She bowed slightly and said softly, "Yes, Mingnuo obeys your command."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around resolutely and prepared to leave.

However, just as Leng Xinmo was about to step out of the room.

Qian Yaodi's deep and rich voice suddenly sounded again behind her:

"Mingnuo, when Shang'er returns, I intend to choose a wife for him.

Princess Liuyang of the Princess's Mansion is both talented and beautiful, with an elegant temperament. What do you think of Mingnuo?"

Hearing these words, the aura around Leng Xinmo instantly produced a subtle fluctuation, but it disappeared in a flash.

She did not turn around, but just smiled faintly and replied: "Prince Sheng is both wise and brave, and his power is feared by the world.

Princess Liuyang is beautiful, intelligent and talented.

These two are truly a perfect match made in heaven!

Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. The person you have chosen must be a perfect match. It can be said to be a perfect match made in heaven!"

After saying that, she walked out of Yaohua Palace without looking back.

Left behind were Emperor Qian Yao with a meaningful look on his face and Zhao Nianyue with a look of astonishment.

After saying this, she left quickly without looking back.

It was as if he didn't care at all about the reactions of the people behind him.

Yue'er and A'Xiu respectfully bowed to Emperor Qianyao and Concubine Zhao and said goodbye, then followed Leng Xinmo and left in a hurry.

After Emperor Qian Yao hugged Concubine Zhao and walked into the room.

Xia Yu's miserable and sharp cries that had been echoing outside the Yaohua Palace had also completely disappeared.

Dong Shuang stared quietly at Leng Xinmo's back as he walked away.

There was a chilling cruelty in his eyes.

Then, she gently lifted her feet and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

"Dongshuang, where are you going?" Qiufeng saw this scene and hurriedly called her.

Hearing the call of the autumn wind, Dong Shuang paused slightly.

But she didn't turn around, nor did she leave a single word of response to Qiu Feng. She just continued walking forward on her own.

"Dong..." Qiu Feng wanted to ask more.

But before she could say half of her words, Chunlan at the side reached out to stop her.

Qiufeng turned his head anxiously and looked at Chunlan who was holding his arm tightly.

With a look of worry on her face, she said anxiously, "Chunlan, where is Dongshuang going? I'm really worried about her!"

Qiu Feng had an anxious look on his face, his hands clenched into fists, and his voice was trembling.

But after hearing Chunlan's words, she forced herself to calm down.

And secretly told myself that nothing would happen to Dong Shuang.

However, Qiu Feng's heart was still filled with worry and uneasiness.

Chunlan's face looked very pale, and she seemed very tired and sad.

Qiu Feng looked at her haggard face and couldn't help biting his lips, sighing secretly in his heart.

Recalling Xia Yu who had just been beaten to death with sticks.

Qiu Feng's eyes were filled with tears, and his look revealed endless sadness and confusion.

Qiu Feng asked hesitantly with a trembling voice: "Chun Lan, Xia Yu...Xia Yu's body.

How should we deal with this?" Her voice seemed to be filled with tears, which made people feel pity.

Chunlan lowered her head silently, pondered for a moment, and replied in a very soft voice:

"Xia Yu was executed by order of His Majesty himself. As for her body...

Of course there will be people from the Fengyi Guard to deal with it."

Having said this, Chunlan's voice paused slightly.

Then he continued softly, "We shouldn't interfere too much in this matter."

Qiu Feng certainly understood the reason, since Xia Yu was ordered by the Emperor to be executed in such a cruel way.

Then Your Majesty believes that she has committed an unforgivable sin.

Under such circumstances, how could anyone be willing to give her a decent burial?

I'm afraid those people who were ordered to deal with the bodies.

They would just dump Xia Yu's body in some deserted place and let it be eaten by wild beasts.

Thinking of this, Qiu Feng couldn't help but tremble all over, and tears burst out like a dam breaking, sliding down his cheeks.

She couldn't accept such a cruel reality, but she was powerless to change anything.

She could only watch helplessly as her former sister died tragically on the spot, and she was powerless to do anything.
