Chapter 1332: Kill Without Mercy
e were to go there and take Fu'er's life right now, Feng Ming wouldn't be able to stop them.Thinking about this, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Mo Juniyi who was standing beside...As soon as the Emperor woke up, he knew about Cheng Yongying kneeling outside. However, he was very clear about why Cheng Yongying wanted to see him.
It's just that I want him to give a result, after all, the entire Cheng family, over a dozen women, were disfigured by the people of Beijang Wangfu.
...because he deliberately arranged for the Cheng family women to go to the Beijiang Prince's Mansion. ...
Now that all the female members of the Cheng family are in trouble, someone like Cheng Yongying would naturally make him compensate.
But he's got a lot on his mind right now and doesn't feel like dealing with any of it.
So, he decided to have Ye Er, his most trusted confidant, handle it.
Now that Ye Er brought it up, the Emperor frowned slightly, "This Cheng Shilang is truly patient. If I don't see him, will he just keep kneeling"
Ye Er nodded slightly, "It's not just Cheng Da Ren, the Cheng family women are now kneeling outside the palace with injured faces, begging His Majesty to act on their behalf."
"Nonsense!"
The emperor, hearing that the female relatives of the Cheng family were crying and making a fuss outside the palace, was immediately enraged and slammed his table.
Today's incident where they went to the Bei Jiang Royal Manor was orchestrated by him after all. What if these people accidentally revealed the truth while crying and making a scene Where would he put his face then
Knowing his empire was now in a precarious position, he wasn't truly as foolish as he seemed. He wouldn't give the people any negative information at this time.
If the common people knew that while the King of Bei Jiang was leading his troops on a campaign, he had secretly instructed others to cause trouble for the Bei Jiang Wangfu, how would they view him, their ruler
So now he absolutely cannot allow the women of the Cheng family to continue causing trouble outside the palace.
Thinking of this, the emperor was so angry that his temples bulged with veins. He gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, bring in the women of the Cheng family!"
The guards who had been summoned hastily replied, "Yes," and then turned to leave in a hurry.
Ye Er looked thoughtfully at Hua Duo'er, who had been sitting calmly on the side all along. As if by chance, Hua Duo'er also looked back at him.
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment in the air, then both looked away simultaneously.
But they were all smart people and knew what the other was trying to say at a glance.
The little flower saw the Emperor was extremely angry, so she quickly got up and walked behind him, gently kneading his shoulders. She whispered, "Your Majesty, anger harms your health. They are just a bunch of mindless people. You don't have to get angry with them."
How could the emperor not be angry He let out a cold snort, "Today, I want to see if they can make it to heaven."
Having said that, he turned to Ye Er, "Ye Qing, what do you think I should do with them"
Ye Er raised an eyebrow slightly, "Your Majesty, some unfavorable rumors about the current situation in the capital have already spread among the people. Perhaps Your Majesty should listen to these rumors before making a decision"
The Emperor's face grew increasingly dark. From Ye Er's expression and tone, he could guess with his toes that the rumors circulating were certainly not favorable to him.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, called over the eunuch he trusted most beside him, and coldly questioned, "Have you heard what Ye Qing said"
The eunuch knew the emperor was in a bad mood and immediately knelt down on both knees, "Your Majesty, I just learned about this. Those... those words are indeed highly treasonous."
The Emperor's face was very grim. "Tell me, what is being said outside now"
The eunuch didn't dare to speak directly. He was looking embarrassed and hesitant, afraid that if he said those words out of his mouth, his life would be over immediately, "Your Majesty, the slave...the slave is terrified..."
The emperor was in a rage, his temper already short. Seeing this lackey being so hesitant and coy only made him angrier. He jumped up abruptly and kicked the eunuch hard, "What nonsense are you spouting Get to the point!"
To be close to the emperor was like being with a tiger. Eunuchs always knew they could die at any moment, and now he understood that speaking up meant certain death, while remaining silent also meant death. The eunuch had no choice at all. He could only suppress his fear and stammered out:
"Your Majesty, the people now know that Cheng Ruhua, daughter of Minister Cheng, is carrying your imperial decree to trouble the King of Beijang at this critical juncture, as you commanded."
"While the King of Beijang was focused on fighting the enemy, after Cheng Ruer repeatedly harassed him, the King of Beijang took matters into his own hands and dealt with Cheng Ruer. Furthermore, the King of Beijang discovered that Cheng Ruer had colluded with martial arts masters from Chi Guo."
“I don't know who deliberately turned public opinion to Your Majesty, spreading some false rumors. Now the people are...all speculating and discussing, saying that the King of Beijang has won battle after battle, gaining the hearts of the people, his achievements overshadowing the emperor. Your Majesty is afraid that his throne is ...unstable.”
“So Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have the King of Beijiang killed. So you bribed skilled martial artists from the Red Country to strike a fatal blow at the King of Beijiang from behind while he was on the battlefield, leaving him dead on the field.”
"!!"
Hearing such remarks, the emperor's face contorted with rage, twisting into that of a furious lion. His eyebrows stood on end, and veins bulged across his forehead as he glared angrily at the eunuch kneeling before him. "Audacious! Absolutely audacious!"
The emperor couldn't bear such talk at all. He roared and raged, his face turning red then purple, his neck swollen like it was about to burst, his head covered in sweat. He couldn't contain himself and immediately kicked the eunuch kneeling on the ground with his foot.
The Emperor was indeed enraged beyond measure. He couldn't hear the eunuch's pleas for mercy, nor could he stomach his explanations that those words were not his own but mere rumors spread by common folk outside.
The emperor kicked and kicked, but the anger in his heart wouldn't dissipate. He caught sight of the guards nearby with their swords, and he charged over directly. He drew a sword and turned back to stab it into the eunuch's body.
"... "
Hua Duo'er and Ye Er looked at each other, their brows furrowed. But who knew, they couldn't speak at this time.
Otherwise, they will be the ones who suffer next.
This tyrannical ruler was always cruel and unreasonable. Anyone he wanted dead, would never live to see another day.
The emperor did not simply stab him once, he raised the sword in his hand and repeatedly plunged it into the eunuch's body, venting his rage. He gritted his teeth and kept repeating, "Let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense."
No one can count how many times the emperor stabbed the eunuch, but it's certain that the poor eunuch was already dead.
Once the emperor had regained his composure somewhat, he suddenly flung the knife from his hand and shouted, "Someone! Someone come here!"
The emperor's roar subsided, and the Imperial Guard stationed outside rushed in, dropping to one knee and unisonly proclaimed, "Your Majesty, please command."
"Go... go and kill all those gossiping slaves! Kill them all! Not one is to be spared. Whoever dares to gossip again will be killed without mercy!"and his voice became even colder and more bone-chilling. "How many times have I said it Don't you remember Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. Today, I'll say it again, if she has the...
