Consort Xian painfully raised her head and weakly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I do not know what I have done wrong. Please calm your anger."

"What crime have you committed? You came in begging for mercy, saying it was all this vile woman's doing. Do you think I'm deaf?"

Di Jingyuan stood aside watching, his gaze towards the two women like that of someone transported to hell. These two women had bullied Azi before, and now Azi must be in trouble. There must be something they did to this.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I... I was indeed forced by the Empress. She threatened me and my family's lives, saying that if I didn't deal with Consort Zi, she wouldn't let me live. Your Majesty, spare my life! I know I was wrong, Your Majesty..."

Consort Xian was afraid of dying, so she desperately tried to shift the blame onto Nalan Yun'er, hoping to escape this calamity.

"Do you think you can get away with this by shirking your responsibility?" Di Jingcheng stepped forward, grabbed her hair, lifted her up, and twisted her neck, making a creaking sound.

Consort Xian looked at the emperor before her, who seemed to have gone mad, with a full head of white hair. He was so frightened that she stared wide-eyed and forgot to resist.

The next second, Di Jingcheng threw her against the vermilion palace wall, blood splattering everywhere. Bright red blood continued to spill from her throat, her eyes still wide open.

The people in the courtyard remained unmoved, feeling that the punishment was deserved.

Nalan Yun'er was somewhat frightened as she looked at the blood splattered on the spot where Consort Xian lay. The Emperor was so ruthless. It seemed that Ranla Azi and the unborn child in her womb were gone. A sense of pleasure rose within her. It was a good thing that so many people would accompany her on her journey to the underworld.

"Consort Mu, with a wicked heart, plotted to harm the concubines and the imperial heirs. She showed no remorse and was demoted to a slave and executed by slow slicing. Her family members, the Mu family, spared the death penalty because of their hard work and merits, and were all put into slavery."

Cheng Yi immediately ordered his men to drag the dying Mu Shi away.

Nalan Yun'er's lips curled into a wicked smile. She raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Di Jingcheng with her phoenix eyes: "What does Your Majesty intend to do to me?"
