The guards quickly entered.

Ye Ling pointed at Zi Changzai.

"She doesn't feel any pain right now, so let her experience what it means to have excruciating knee pain!"

"yes!"

The guards immediately walked towards Zi Changzai.

Zi Changzai was terrified when she saw the guards slowly approaching.

He asked, stammering.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The guard gave her no answer.

Zi Changzai naturally knew what Zi Changzai wanted to do.

The next second.

The guard kicked Consort Zi to the ground.

Then he drew his sword.

He slashed at Zi Changzai's knees repeatedly.

Blood immediately gushed out.

Zi Changzai already felt severe pain in her knees from kneeling on the broken teacup.

Now he's being hacked to pieces again.

My knee feels like it's shattered!

Zi Changzai finally understood.

The Emperor treated her well.

They won't show any mercy at all.

"Your Majesty, I already feel the pain! I was deceiving you just now!"

"When I knelt on the shards of the teacup, it hurt so much!"

Zi Changzai originally said this in order to get the emperor to order the guards to stop immediately.

However.

Ye Ling, however, said...

"How dare you deceive me! Do you know how serious the crime of deceiving the emperor is!"

"Guards! Consort Zi has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! Cut off her legs!"

Zi Changzai was dumbfounded.

Is this time so serious that they're going to cut off both her legs?

Zi Changzai noticed Ye Qianqian standing to the side.

Right now, the only hope is that the existence of this little princess will persuade the emperor to forgive her.

"Your Majesty, you did such a cruel thing in front of the little princess. Aren't you worried that she will follow your example and become as cruel as you?"

Ye Ling frowned.

"Cruel? Since I ascended the throne, this is the first time anyone has dared to call me cruel!"

"I have never wronged anyone I have severely punished!"

"If being punished means I am cruel, then it only means that my punishment of her was not severe enough."

"Guards! Consort Zi dares to question my decision so blatantly! Cut off her arm as well!"

"Click-click-click—"

Zi Changzai's arm was soon cut off as well.

Zi Changzai was in unbearable pain, yet she was powerless to stop it all.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even if your punishment is justified, what will the little princess think when she sees it?"

Zi Changzai originally thought...

In order to cultivate a loving father image in Ye Qianqian's mind, Ye Ling would not act recklessly in front of her.

This way, you can save your life.

However.

Ye Qianqian responded with a nonchalant remark.

"In this deep palace, if rewards and punishments are not clearly distinguished, then more and more people will rebel against their superiors. At that time, where will Father Emperor's dignity be? Where will Father Emperor's authority be?"

"In that case, wouldn't everyone assume that Father is someone who is easily swayed?"

"Then they began to do many wrong things without restraint, from murder to embezzlement, and even more serious treason, rebellion, and regicide. Does Father Emperor also have to forgive these people without any limits?"

"Therefore, I will never question my father's decision. Even if my father wants to kill you, I will still think that my father's decision is wise."

"Father did this to let me know that in this deep palace, I must not give those vile people even the slightest chance to be soft-hearted. Your soft-heartedness will only be used by your opponents as a sharp blade to stab you!"

"Although Father is treating you this way now, in my opinion, Father is still being somewhat merciful. If it were me, I would definitely gouge out your eyes and cut out your tongue!"

Zi Changzai was frightened by Ye Qianqian's words.

"Princess, you are only five years old, why are you so cruel?"

Ye Qianqian sneered.

"Weren't your previous actions cruel enough?"

Ye Qianqian stood up and slowly walked towards Zi Changzai.

The guards wisely withdrew.

Ye Qianqian bent down and whispered something in Zi Changzai's ear.

"I know you have been reborn."

Zi Chang was taken aback.

"You, how could you—"

Ye Qianqian revealed a meaningful smile.

But he didn't say anything more.

She deliberately left Zi Changzai with a problem she could never solve.

Zi Changzai yelled at Ye Qianqian.

"Impossible, impossible! How could you possibly know I was reborn?!"

The guards were taken aback upon hearing this.

What does "rebirth" mean?

They had never heard of this word before.

"Could it be that you are a demon?!"

Zi Changzai immediately said to Ye Ling.

"Your Majesty, she is a monster, a monster!"

Ye Ling was furious.

"How dare she call my daughter a demon! Guards! Slap her face hard!"

The reason why Zi Changzai's tongue hasn't been cut off yet is...

That's because...

Ye Ling knew that Zi Changzai would say many more hurtful things next.

Well then, let her talk as much as she wants.

Anyway, these guards wouldn't dare to go out and say anything.

The guards quickly wrapped strips of cloth around their hands and began to slap Consort Zi hard.

Zi Changzai's face was quickly swollen from the beating.

In addition, Zi Changzai's face had already been rotten before.

With that, they hit each other.

Her face was so badly damaged that it was impossible to look at her anymore.
