"puff!"
The seventh prince swayed precariously and coughed up blood again.
The atmosphere was heavy.
All eyes were on the Seventh Prince, waiting for him to speak.
"I can guarantee that as long as you leave Jincheng, I will not make things difficult for the officials, nor will I abuse the people. We will live in peace and not interfere with each other." The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang raised three fingers and swore to the sky.
Prime Minister Yan also said, "Your Highness, please reconsider."
The veins on General Zuo's forehead bulged, his eyes fixed on the Seventh Prince, as if afraid that he would agree as soon as he opened his mouth. The Seventh Prince looked at the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang: "Your subject wants the Yan family's nine generations."
"Seventh Prince!" Prime Minister Yan's heart was in his throat as he looked at the Southern Emperor with shock and anger.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang agreed without hesitation.
Prime Minister Yan's face turned deathly pale.
Empress Yan's expression was equally unpleasant.
The Seventh Prince then looked at the Left General: "Whether I live or die today, the army is not allowed to retreat. The Yan family is a scourge and must be eliminated. As for the Emperor, he will die in the riot. After my death, do as previously instructed without fail."
General Zuo's eyes reddened.
"A-Yin, do you really not want to live anymore for her sake?" Empress Yan couldn't believe it until her death that the Seventh Prince didn't even want the antidote.
The Seventh Prince didn't even want to give the other person a second glance.
"Send her back to Northern Chu and give her a proper burial." These were the Seventh Prince's final words.
Then everything went black and I passed out.
...
Princess Jiahua pursed her lips, her mind a jumble of emotions. She saw Empress Yan's disbelief, Prime Minister Yan's anger, and the Southern Emperor's fear.
"Imperial Physician!" General Zuo roared.
That day, Jia Hua witnessed General Zuo's bloodlust as he killed.
In front of Empress Yan, they scraped off pieces of Prime Minister Yan's flesh, one by one, and even more outrageous, they stuffed the blood-stained flesh into Empress Yan's mouth.
"Oh!" Empress Yan almost vomited several times, but General Zuo held her chin tightly, forcing her to swallow the meat.
Empress Yan was so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to die.
General Zuo then asked, "Where is the antidote?"
Empress Yan refused to speak, gritting her teeth. General Zuo was not in a hurry. He first sent men to bind all the eldest grandsons of the Yan family, and then ordered people to brew a thousand-year-old ginseng to keep Prime Minister Yan alive.
In front of Prime Minister Yan, a large pot was placed on the stove, water was added, and it was brought to a boil.
"What, what are you going to do?" Prime Minister Yan panicked.
I've lived this long and never seen anything so absurd.
Without the Seventh Prince's restraint, General Zuo paid no attention to anyone. He ordered his men to administer a bone-softening drug to the Southern Frontier Emperor and casually toss him aside. He also ordered his men to lock up all the civil and military officials in one place.
They were saving their temper to torment the Yan family father and daughter.
"I am a rough man. I have eaten everything on the battlefield. As long as I can fill my stomach and win the battle, I will even dig up things from my ancestral graves and cook them into soup."
Listening to General Zuo's words, Prime Minister Yan felt so disgusted that he almost vomited, staring at General Zuo in disbelief.
General Zuo patted Prime Minister Yan's face: "Don't worry, I have no interest in digging up your Yan family's ancestral graves for the time being."
"You!" Prime Minister Yan was so angry he almost fainted.
Whenever Prime Minister Yan had this thought, General Zuo would punch him in the heart, instantly bringing him back to his senses.
Over time, Prime Minister Yan realized that whether he pretended to faint or actually fainted, it was completely useless against General Zuo, this monster.
Despite his best efforts, he couldn't persuade General Zuo in the slightest.
Princess Jiahua watched with great interest as the father and daughter suffered in silence and had to humble themselves, and a rare smile appeared on her face.
The frustration I felt finally dissipated considerably.
If she were still alive, she would definitely do everything she could to reward General Zuo.
That was satisfying enough.
"Someone come here!"
General Zuo waved his hand, summoned two guards, and whispered a few words to them. Empress Yan's eyelids twitched violently, and a moment later, the guards, showing no mercy, dragged Empress Yan away.
Empress Yan was completely powerless to resist.
During this time, General Zuo pointed to the boiling water and poured the meat scraped off Prime Minister Yan's body into the water. Soon the meat slices were cooked.
Prime Minister Yan was in so much pain that his face turned deathly pale.
"You'd better persuade the Empress to hand over the antidote later, or I, this general, will cook this child piece by piece in a pot right in front of you and feed it to you," General Zuo said sternly.
For the first time, Prime Minister Yan experienced what it meant to be worse than dead.
I was furious and angry. How did I end up provoking this evil spirit?
Half an hour later, Empress Yan returned.
It turned out that General Zuo had sent men to hold down Empress Yan's hand and grope Princess Jia Hua's body until Empress Yan was also poisoned.
Empress Yan collapsed to the ground.
She was disheveled and had long lost her former gentleness and elegance.
"Does Your Majesty know of military prostitutes?" General Zuo suddenly asked, looking down at her.
Empress Yan's unfocused pupils gradually cleared, and she stared at General Zuo in disbelief: "You dare!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than General Zuo drew his sword and slashed Empress Yan's clothes, causing Empress Yan to clutch her chest in fright.
"The border soldiers are fighting to the death, so what's wrong with Her Majesty the Empress comforting them?" General Zuo sneered. "I am not as good-natured as Your Highness. Your Majesty, please don't provoke me. I am a rough man, and there is nothing I am not capable of doing."
Empress Yan, filled with fear and unease, crouched down, no longer daring to provoke General Zuo.
"Offer incense!"
At General Zuo's command, a guard brought over an incense burner containing a half-burnt incense stick about the thickness of a thumb.
"Don't blame me for not warning you of the consequences before the incense burns out," General Zuo said patiently.
Prime Minister Yan looked at Empress Yan: "This guy is a madman..."
"Father!" Empress Yan interrupted Prime Minister Yan, "We cannot be without any protection. Even if we die, we will all die together."
Once they hand over the goods, their lives are no longer in their own hands.
General Zuo clenched his fists so tightly they cracked: "I've long heard that there's an excellent aphrodisiac hidden in the main hall. Someone, go and fetch it."
A moment later, a whole bottle of Hehuan powder was brought out.
"Immediately send someone to place a large bed at the city gate. I will personally pay one hundred taels of silver as a reward for each of my patrons."
Empress Yan was so angry that her liver and gallbladder trembled.
"If the person dies, two hundred taels of silver!" General Zuo added.
He knew that Empress Yan was extremely concerned about her reputation, and this action was meant to tell her that life and death were irrelevant; what he wanted to destroy was her reputation.
"You, you, you dare to humiliate me! I will kill you!" Empress Yan finally broke down and shouted in despair.
Unfortunately, no one could save her.
General Zuo opened his palm: "This is the last time I'll ask you, the antidote!"
Empress Yan raised her head to look at General Zuo, and was frightened by the cold hatred in his eyes, trembling and unable to speak.
By this time, Fengyi Palace had been smashed to pieces, and no antidote could be found even after searching high and low.
His patience had run out.
"Give it to him." Prime Minister Yan could no longer bear the General Zuo's anger.
That guy's insane!
