Chapter 277
Emperor Shang secretly glared at Eunuch Xu. He was very satisfied with these young masters of the imperial palace, even though his daughter was confident today, he was still worried, so he told Eunuch Xu to bring these young masters into the palace. Of course, this was a secret.
Han Xuanhao moved closer to Shang’s side as soon as he entered the room. Before Shang could open his mouth to stop him, Han Xuanhao had already explained himself, “If you say you won’t let us interfere, of course we won’t interfere. However, you’ve pretty much dealt with it all. We’ve come to take you home.”
Although their subordinates kept reporting about the situation in the palace, they were still a bit uneasy. At that time, Eunuch Xu had come to the palace to settle some matters. Since Emperor Shang had invited the princes to the palace, the three of them naturally would not refuse to enter under the guise of the Emperor.
Perhaps it was because he was really afraid that Shang no longer liked him, but even Ye Yi Zhe stood up and said, “We are worried about you being here!” Although Nangong Qian did not say anything, but the meaning was obvious. Shang Wuxin looked at them and laughed, “Then, since you guys are here, then let you guys handle it!”
Since he had already captured the Duke of Qing, it didn’t matter who the person who executed him was. To Shang, it didn’t matter who was the one who executed the Duke of Qing.
“Good!” “Don’t worry!” Nangong Qian agreed. She understood that Shang Wuxin probably did this for the sake of them. This kind of retreat made Nangong Qian’s eyes warm up. This devilish brat finally knew that he cared about them.
Shang Tong’s eyebrows twitched as he walked over to Emperor Shang and supported him away. She did not reveal her plan to Emperor Shang, but the Emperor could still hand over his life to another person. This was a decision that Shang could not be made on his own.
When Shang no longer had any heart to leave the hall, Shang Xiange yawned and walked out as well. The crown prince’s departure had really turned boring. She had better go to the front hall to take a look at the panicking nobles and officials.
Han Xuanhao came to his side and looked at Qing Yao with disdain, “Mo Che, your moves are still so ugly. Just a moment ago, Xin’er was here, so I wasn’t afraid of scaring you!”
Hanxuan Hao finished his own sentence and laughed. Huan Mo Che wiped the folding fan clean and placed it on his waist as he teased, “I wasn’t scared, but I realized that Hanxue seems to admire my methods a lot!”
As expected, Han Xuanhao was immediately dissatisfied. “How could Xin’er appreciate it? There are many things to torture people in the Frigid Star Pavilion. Tomorrow, I will bring Xin’er to take a look!” The jealousy had always been Han Xuanhao’s patent, and no one was surprised by it.
Nangong Qian looked at Han Xuanhao in dissatisfaction, “You want Xin`er to see those things?” Not only Nangong Qian was against it, but even Leng Yufeng and the others were against it. Although they knew that Shang wasn’t afraid of the blood, they still secretly hoped that Shang didn’t want to be exposed to the blood, and that they would bring whatever she wanted back to her for her to choose.
Han Xuanhao sneered and said, “I’m just saying it!” How could he really do such a thing? Aren’t these people looking at him too inappropriately?
Leng Yufeng frowned as he looked at Qing Yao, who was standing under Huan Mo Che’s foot, and said, “Alright, let’s hurry up and deal with them!” Leng Yufeng and the others stared at the Duke of Qing with clear murderous intent. The pressure coming from the five of them was like an earthquake and a tsunami as they bore down on the Duke of Qing. The Duke of Qing felt as if the Qi that had accumulated in his chest was being squeezed.
They didn’t know what Ye Yizhi had fed the Duke of Qing, but they could only see him, a man of great power, rolling around in pain on the ground with his runny nose and occasionally knocking his head against the ground in pain. The five of them actually smiled as they watched the Duke of Qing’s miserable state.
Leng Yu Feng looked at Qing Yao crawling out slowly. Even though her tongue and fingers had been cut off and her face disfigured, Qing Yao still wanted to live. She wanted to leave this place and escape from the eyes of these people.
Step by step, the sound echoed on the ground. Leng Yufeng walked to the side of Qing Yao, took out his flexible sword, and directly beheaded her. Compared to torture, Leng Yufeng preferred to take the lives of people who were afraid of death.
“Yu Feng, you are too brutal. You want to let her die so easily? You must have let her off easy!” When Han Xuanhao saw the smile on the head on the ground, he was not displeased. However, Huanmo Che still revealed a gentle smile, while Ye Yizhe remained expressionless.
Leng Yuefeng frowned as he looked at Han Xuanhao, “Xin’er has been waiting for a long time!”
At this moment, Shang Xiange’s bedroom was in a bloody mess. However, Shang Wuxin had supported Emperor Shang up the palace walls, watching as the imperial guards carried the corpses and carts away, dripping with blood along the way.
After so many years, the knot in Emperor Shang’s heart was finally lifted. He was already numb to the sight of so many corpses. As the Emperor, he could destroy so many lives with a single sentence. He killed many corrupt officials, but there were also people who didn’t deserve death.
“Xin`er, royal father said that as long as you finish off Duke Qing’s faction, this throne will be yours. Tomorrow, royal father will pass down the throne!” Emperor Shang patted Shang’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Father knows that you have an unstable temper, even Father can’t see through you. However, you will be held accountable for your actions. You are considering not only the royal palace, but also the national society of the State of Shang. I do not ask for you to become an enlightened ruler, but you are also not to become an unconscious ruler! ”
Letting a woman ascend the throne and even allowing a woman with a bizarre and ruthless mindset to ascend the throne, it wasn’t that Emperor Shang had never hesitated before, but no matter how much hesitation he had, it couldn’t compare to Shang’s unintentional methods and the love in his heart. In the future, he could only pray that his daughter could really be a good emperor.
His broad shoulders suddenly gave off the urge to rely on himself. Shang Wuxin laughed suddenly, his voice carrying the charming tone of a daughter, “Father, are you thinking of abandoning us?” This son is still young and still wants to play for a few more years. royal father should sit on the dragon throne for a few more years! ”
Emperor Shang looked at his daughter in confusion. He couldn’t understand why his daughter, who had been so aggressive a few days ago, didn’t want the throne anymore. Since when did the throne become something she didn’t want?
“The imperial court is much cleaner these days, so it’s a good opportunity for you to ascend to the throne! If you are afraid of working hard, royal father can help you out. Also, Prime Minister Zuo is a very good man, he can help out a lot in the imperial court! ” He did not wish that it would be even more difficult for his daughter to ascend the throne in the future.
Shang Wuxin shook his head, “Father, I do not wish to ascend the throne yet!” In the beginning, she only wanted to ascend to the high position because of the Shang Emperor’s attitude. She needed power and status to suppress the Emperor, but now Shang no longer had the heart to do so. Of course, if there came a day when she and the Emperor still had a disagreement, then she would still obtain the throne.
Emperor Shang also knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he changed the topic. “Xin’er, some men treat you well, but if you don’t give them any status, the true love might deteriorate!” With your current identity, if you want to take them in, there’s no need to worry. If you have any problems, royal father will take care of it for you! ”
He was already very satisfied with only one son-in-law, Emperor Shang. Moreover, five of them came at once, and Emperor Shang really wanted his daughter to take them into the mansion as soon as possible. He wanted to give birth to a child as soon as possible, so all he had to do was bring his grandson with him.
“Eunuch Xu, Father has been busy all day. Why haven’t you helped Father to rest? Do you still need me to remind you?” No one dared to offend Eunuch Xu. In the end, it was still Emperor Shang who was unable to leave with Eunuch Xu’s support.
When Shang Wuxin arrived at Shang Xiange’s sleeping quarters, he saw the room filled with the smell of blood. Qing Yao had long since split her mind, and from the looks of it, Shang Wuxin knew that Leng Yufeng had done it. The five of them did not expect Shang Wuxin to appear again. Leng Yufeng stepped forward to block his gaze, but he did not surpass Leng Yufeng to look at the kneeling Duke of Qing.
It was a horrifying and hideous face that appeared in front of Shang. The poisoned dark green face with its wrinkles was disgusting to look at, so Duke Qing’s left eye was deeply sunken in, while his right eye seemed to have been pushed inside. On the contrary, his eye was empty and swollen, and there were no eyeballs in his eye sockets.
Shang did not feel the slightest bit disgusted or displeased, instead, he slowly approached the Duke of Qing. Looking at the bloody gashes on the Duke of Qing’s cheeks that were so deep they could be seen to be bone deep, his skin and flesh fluttered in the air, and even had a rotting black tinge, he did not know what poison the Duke of Qing had been poisoned with. Even though Shang was a few steps away from the Duke of Qing, he could still smell a nauseous odor. Even the two sides of the Duke of Qing’s nose had been cut open by someone’s blade, turning into four flaps of flesh. He looked extremely malevolent and terrifying.
“Xin Er!” Ye Yi Zhe wanted to say something, but they seemed to be playing too much with each other. He was hoping that Duke Qing wouldn’t bother Shang so much.
“Why hasn’t it been resolved yet?” Shang was not in the mood to ask. There were still many things to deal with, these people were really… After Leng Yufeng heard Shang Wuxin’s words, he immediately asked He Lai Jin to drag Duke Qing down. It seemed like he would have endless torments in the future.
“Let’s go back!” Leng Yufeng said.
Nodding their heads, the six of them walked out of the palace that had just undergone a change.
