They had many cuts on their bodies.
The skin and flesh were turned outwards, but there was no bleeding.
That doesn't look like a living person at all.
Yu Xiao and the others all looked extremely grim.
Despair and anger like someone at the end of their rope.
Perhaps because they had hostages, Su Weichuan raised his hand to stop the masked soldiers from continuing their pursuit.
His voice was flat and devoid of any inflection.
"My purpose in storming the palace today is to borrow the Jade Terrace. Lay down your weapons and do not resist, and I guarantee you will all live."
Consort Su was both anxious and angry, her eyes were red.
"Father, do you know what you're doing? Have you gone mad? The Jade Terrace is where emperors of all dynasties offered sacrifices to Heaven. Only the emperor can open it. Even if you have made great contributions to the Great Zhou, you are not qualified to go there!"

Consort Wan, who was hiding behind her, was not spared either. Blood sprayed all over her face. She screamed sharply, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, half of her soul and spirit gone from her shock.
