Chapter 424 The Most Cruel Punishment
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please, Madam Wu Fei, please, don't, don't!" Concubine Zhang kept kowtowed on the ground, her head hitting the ground, making a "dong dong" sound.
"My mother had begged you like this before, and kowtowed to you until she bled, but did you let her go?" Mo Jingyu asked.
"Jingyu, it's my fault, don't cut off my nose, I can work like a cow and a horse for you and your mother, I can be a slave!" Concubine Zhang cried bitterly, kowtowed there, and kept admitting her mistakes.
"The emperor is reluctant to do so!" Lan Xiaoyu looked at the Xiyue Emperor and said coldly: "I think no one knows better than the emperor himself the sufferings that Jingyu and his mother have suffered. I am afraid that everyone in and outside the Xiyue capital knows about it. Your Majesty, you favor the noble concubine and harm the Wu clan!"
"The Wu clan, you conquered the Wu clan at that time, and you brought this woman to the capital!" The Xiyue Emperor smiled faintly and said: "At the beginning, I asked you for her, and you just hated her. Do you really think that I don't know anything? Because you hate her, you have a rebellious mind. As for whether the seventh child is my child, I still doubt it!"
“Hehehe!” The witch concubine smiled and took a few steps forward. Her empty eyes looked at the emperor on the high throne: “I have never seen such a shameless man who likes to cuckold himself so much. Emperor, do you know that General Lan Xiaoyu and I love each other? But, it is precisely because we love each other that we respect each other. He will not threaten me. He will only take care of me, be good to me, love me, and cherish me. You wanted to snatch me away, and in order to prevent me from suffering with him, he gave me to you. As a result, you... persecuted him and let the harem target me and bully me. If it were not for the self-healing ability of my witch clan, I am afraid I would have died long ago! Dog emperor, you are really not worthy of being an emperor, and you are not worthy of being the people of this great Wei!”
Every word of the witch concubine made everyone present feel cold in their hearts.
Baby Ruoxi didn't know that this woman had suffered so much. She glanced at Lan Xiaoyu and sighed.
"A man, even if he takes a woman into the mountains, as long as there is love, it's enough. He is so capable and the woman is so powerful. It's better to go to Wei to find my uncle than to end up like this! This man is really speechless!"
Because the little girl sighed, Lan Xiaoyu turned around and saw the little princess' contempt. His heart "thumped". Although he didn't hear the little princess's voice, he knew why the little princess sighed.
"Now I see through it. What rules and loyalty, my loyalty should only be given to those who deserve it. For the rest, forget it." Lan Xiaoyu said.
"So, Concubine Zhang, drag her away!" Xiao Yin turned around and said calmly.
Xiyue's Yu Linjun looked at the Xiyue Emperor. The Xiyue Emperor wanted to say something, but Xiao Yin raised his hand and showed the military token in his hand.
As long as the military token fell into Lan Xiaoyu's hands, the troops outside the city would immediately attack the city. By then, no one in the Xiyue royal family would be able to escape this disaster.
"Drag her out!" The Xiyue Emperor waved his hand.
"No, no, Your Majesty, you are the emperor!" Concubine Zhang immediately stepped forward to beg for mercy. Seeing that the emperor did not move, she stood up and went to beg the ministers: "Lord Lin, Lord Wu, you, save me, save me!"
"Woman, let go, let go, don't force me to do it, just let go!"
Concubine Zhang was kicked down, and those who kicked her down were all those who used to hold her in high esteem and keep company with her.
Concubine Zhang was the aunt of the third prince, and the third prince had been raised by her. Over the years, she had won over many court officials for the third prince. These court officials used to flatter and fawn on her, but now, they were all dodging her and there was no time!
Concubine Zhang was punished with the punishment of cutting off the nose. The nose was cut off slowly with a very blunt axe.
This punishment was extremely painful and terrifying.
This was mainly because the axe blade would not be opened, but would be cut slowly, turning over the flesh little by little. When the entire nose was cut off, the person was almost dead from the pain.
However, during this process, because the person was tied to a wooden frame and the head was fixed, they could do nothing except wailing.
The executioners who participated in the cutting off of the nose would basically plug their ears because they could not hear the miserable screams, which were too harsh.
The miserable screams echoed over the Xiyue Palace, and the surrounding concubines hid in their own palaces.
"It's terrible, it's really terrible, how can there be such a cruel punishment!"
"Go tell the emperor, I'm sick, I'm scared!"
"I don't know where the emperor is, it's terrible, I'm scared to death!"
The concubines who used to be cruel, now faced with the nose-cutting of Concubine Zhang, they all pretended to be so, leaving the palace maids and eunuchs speechless.
"My queen, the emperor may not be able to come out now. The emperor of Wei is too powerful and cruel. He will dominate everything and will not let the emperor leave the Qinzheng Palace!" The palace maids replied.
"The Emperor of Wei is good-looking, but how could he be so cruel?"
"I think that the little princess from Wei is adorable and a lucky girl, but that may not be the case. That child might be a troublemaker who wants to ruin Mount Xiyue!"
"Let's go find Empress Lin, we need to discuss something!"
The concubines stood up one after another and went to find Empress Shufei.
Over there, Xiao Yue was drinking tea calmly. She said, "I heard that in the whole harem, only Lady Lin is kinder. Lady Shufei is known for her virtue!"
"But, all the actions of Concubine Zhang were instigated by her!" On the side, Ci Xin said, and looked at Mo Jingyu, "Jingyu knows it best."
"Yes, it was Lady Lin who instigated every time, and then Concubine Zhang came forward to torture my mother. If I hadn't wanted to settle accounts with Concubine Zhang once and wanted to deal with her, I heard Lady Lin's instigation, I wouldn't have known that Lady Lin, who always said that she was taking care of my mother, was so cruel!" Mo Jingyu said.
When this came out, everyone was shocked.
This Lady Lin is actually the candidate for the next Empress, and she will be crowned at the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year.
The court officials looked at each other, but they could not find any fault with Lady Lin.
"Lady Lin is here!" Just as they were talking, Lady Lin came over.
