Chapter 489: The Imperial Clan House Visits Su Xue
"You don't have to be afraid. I will take care of anything that comes my way."
Su Yue didn't want to make things difficult for these officers and soldiers, so she took all the responsibility.
These officers and soldiers were simply afraid that if something went wrong with the people in the clan affairs office, the emperor would blame them, and they could not bear the responsibility.
Those who were imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House were all royal relatives in the past. Now they were deposed and became commoners, but they still had royal blood and no problems were allowed to occur.
What they were more worried about was that if Princess Li went in, she would be hurt by the people inside, and they could not afford it.
Princess Li is a true royal relative. If anything happens to her, the emperor will kill all nine generations of her clan to vent his hatred.
After hearing what Su Yue said, the captain of the officers and soldiers stood up and asked, "Does Princess Li have to go in?"
The captain of the officers and soldiers knew that Su Yue must have come for Su Xue.
Su Yue nodded: "Since I am here, I will go in and take a look. Don't worry, I will not let any accidents happen."
The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will accompany the princess in. But please be careful. The people inside have bad tempers and I'm afraid they might hurt you."
Su Yue nodded. Good people who were locked up in the clan house would be turned into crazy people. There would be no normal people. Only injured people were normal.
But is she afraid?
Immediately, officers and soldiers opened the door of the clan house.
“Squeak!”
As the door opened, an unpleasant smell hit her face. Su Yue dodged to the left to avoid the smell.
There was a musty smell in the smell, mixed with a sour smell.
The officers and soldiers seemed to be used to it and just shrugged their noses.
"Princess, please."
After the smell faded, the captain invited Su Yue in.
Su Yue asked two maids to follow her, and then the group entered the clan residence.
The clan residence is actually a large courtyard, with each courtyard separated by walls. There is a rockery garden in the middle of the courtyard, but it looks extremely deserted at the moment.
Before the group's attention shifted, they heard a burst of cursing coming from the east wing.
Su Yue spread out her mental power and could hear clearly: "Are you a fool? I told you to send a letter to let your parents in. As long as they come in and see you living such a miserable life in here, they will definitely plead with the emperor to let us all out.
But you just don't want to, you don't want this or that, why should I keep you?
This king will beat you to death, you bitch. If you hadn’t instigated me, would I have done those foolish things? It’s you, this bitch, who harmed me. This king will beat you to death…”
Then came the sound of whipping and the woman's suppressed cry of pain.
Su Yue shook her head and nodded to the officers and soldiers behind her, and the group headed towards the east wing.
The door of the east wing was open. When a group of people came to the door, a man with disheveled hair, untidy beard and sloppy clothes was waving a whip and whipping a woman.
The woman's situation was not much better. She was covered in dirt and was holding her head to avoid the whip, so as to prevent the whip from hitting her face. However, her body was already covered in blood and had whip marks everywhere.
Su Yue sighed when she saw the two men. She couldn't believe they were living in such a state. She shouted sternly, "Murong Yi, stop it."
Murong Yi then noticed someone coming. He immediately stopped whipping and stared at Su Yue standing opposite him with his red eyes. When he saw Su Yue's stunningly beautiful face, his heart twitched. Then he smiled and said, "Fourth sister-in-law came to see me? Fourth sister-in-law came just in time. I was dealing with this bitch. It was this bitch who instigated me to make such a big mistake.
Fourth sister-in-law, please ask my father to spare me and let me go. I don’t want to stay here for a moment. I’m going crazy.”
Murong Yi kept calling Su Yue "this king". The officers and soldiers behind him frowned. If Su Yue was not there, they would have whipped him.
He has been deposed by the emperor and demoted to a commoner. He should call himself a criminal. But Murong Yi still calls himself the king. He is really out of his mind.
Su Yue didn't even look at Murong Yi, nor did she take his nonsense to heart. Instead, she looked at Su Xue on the ground.
When Su Xue heard Murong Yi calling her "Fourth Sister-in-law", she suddenly looked up. Su Yue, standing against the light at the door, looked so noble and unattainable. She lowered her head in shame, biting her lips tightly, feeling mixed emotions.
At the beginning, she was against Murong Yi, but after becoming his woman, she couldn't let him go. At that time, she thought that Su Yue could become a noble woman, and everyone favored her. Then she became Murong Yi's concubine, and she would also be a daughter-in-law of the royal family. She would be the same as Su Yue.
She thought she could do it as well, and maybe one day she would become Murong Yi's wife.
Then she will have the chance to become the most noble woman in Xifeng Kingdom and step on all other women under her feet.
At that time, everyone looked up to her and respected her.
So after marrying Murong Yi, the thought became stronger and stronger, and she whispered in Murong Yi's ear every day.
Murong Yi originally had the idea of rebellion, but he was blown away by Su Xue's level 12 typhoon, so he poisoned the emperor again.
They thought they were sure to succeed, but Murong Li came out and ruined their plans. Now they ended up like this.
Su Xue didn't know whether she felt hatred or regret.
She must be unwilling to accept this. As the second daughter of the Su family, Su Xue is no less capable than Su Yue. Why can Su Yue get everything while she gets nothing?
Su Yue clearly saw the unwillingness in Su Xue's eyes.
When Su Yue saw Su Xue being beaten so badly by Murong Yi, she was still thinking in her heart, what could she do for Su Xue, at least to prevent her from suffering like this here.
However, the unwillingness in Su Xue's eyes made Su Yue completely give up this idea. She looked at Su Xue coldly: "Sister Xue'er, I didn't expect that our meeting this time would feel like a lifetime ago. I really didn't expect that you would go to such a point."
Su Xue raised her head, looked directly into Su Yue's eyes, and said angrily, "Don't be so hypocritical here. You are the high and mighty Princess Li, and I am a lowly sinner. Princess, please go back and don't dirty your eyes."
When Murong Yi heard Su Xue's stupid words, he raised his foot and kicked Su Xue in the lower back, cursing angrily: "What stupid things are you saying, you stupid woman? Fourth sister-in-law is kind to you, but you say such ungrateful words. Hurry up and apologize to Fourth sister-in-law, beg for mercy, ask Fourth sister-in-law to plead with the emperor and let us all out, otherwise I will beat you to death."
Su Xue supported her lower back with her hands, raised her poisonous eyes and looked at Murong Yi, like a mad she-wolf biting off his neck.
