Yu Jingchen simply gave the order to hang it on the city wall and then had someone arrange for the next person to do it.
The second person... Yu Jingchen rewarded him with a bed of nails, hmm... that should be quite merciful, right?
The man's hands and feet were bound, his hands were raised above his head, and the bed of nails was in the middle. The guards threw the man onto the bed of nails, and two guards stood at each end, one holding his hands and the other his feet, forcing the tortured man to roll around on the bed of nails.
When the second person died, it was already dawn. Yu Jingchen had given orders that there would be a court session this morning, and the content of the session would be to witness the execution here. Not only ministers, but also the imperial concubines were required to attend...
The area outside Zichen Palace was already packed with people... Seeing the bloody scene before them, the concubines couldn't bear it and had already fainted. However, Yu Jingchen had someone pour a bucket of cold water on them and said that if they really couldn't take it anymore, they could move to the Cold Palace on their own.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is making an example of someone to warn others, and also to remind them that every minister has a daughter in the harem. Yu Jingchen did it on purpose.
"Next one." Yu Jingchen thought this kind of thing gave people a sense of leisure and elegance, but it was precisely this feeling that made people feel even more terrified.
"What should we do with the third person? Let's play Bone Chopping," Yu Jingchen said. Bone Chopping? Just the name was terrifying. This form of torture... involved chopping a person alive, piece by piece, starting from the toes or the fingers?
Nan Zhiyun's hands, which were holding Yu Jingchen, were trembling uncontrollably. Because she had been in his arms the whole time, Yu Jingchen could clearly feel her change and knew that Nan Zhiyun was putting on a brave face.
Perhaps he still felt sorry for her, so he secretly pressed Nan Zhiyun's pressure point to put her to sleep. Nan Zhiyun let go of Yu Jingchen's robe, and Yu Jingchen looked at the sweating girl in his arms, wondering if he had done something wrong...
He was actually quite afraid that Nan Zhiyun wouldn't be able to handle this kind of situation. After all, the Wen family incident had caused Nan Zhiyun such panic, and he was worried about this situation now.
But later, he wanted to see if Nan Zhiyun could accept him in this way... He was such a bloodthirsty and brutal person, and his bloodthirsty side had perhaps never been fully revealed to her. So he also wanted to know if Nan Zhiyun could tolerate his true self.
Although Nan Zhiyun hadn't complained about being scared or wanting to escape or get away from him, Yu Jingchen couldn't bear to let her listen any longer, so he pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep.
The little girl was already sweating, and he gently wiped her sweat. He didn't even know what to do with Nan Zhiyun.
The screams below pulled Yu Jingchen back to reality. This world was inherently crimson; it was either their blood or his own. He never thought that making others fear him was a bad thing. Only when others were afraid of him would they be cautious and restrain themselves.
Therefore, Yu Jingchen never considered being a good person, nor did he ever think of ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness. He always had only one principle: those who obey him prosper, and those who oppose him perish. He would personally crush any threat or hidden danger around him, regardless of the other party's identity... because he was the emperor.
But... in this life, he had told Nan Zhiyun that in front of her, he would first be her husband, and only then would he be the emperor...
