He let go of Jing Yi's hand. Jing Yi was stunned and just stood there alone without moving. Seeing Gu Juechen's move, she also took two steps back and was a few steps away from the stairs.
Some of the tactless noble ladies in the hall couldn't help but sneer.
She blurted out, not just out of straightforwardness or anything, "Oh, some people still have self-awareness. That high seat isn't something anyone can climb onto."
These words stung Jing Yi's heart like a bone-eating poison. She lowered her head alone, her heart full of complicated feelings.
In Dalin, she grew up under the careful care of her parents, but now everything has changed suddenly. She can only accept this fact. After all, this result is her own choice.
But everything is acceptable now. After all, what Jing Yi wants most is to know what her past was like.
And how did A Gu meet her? That feeling is what she wants most in her heart, so she must not give up.
Gu Juechen stood in a position that everyone was looking at, high above everyone else, with a look of disdain and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The unreasonable behavior of the arrogant woman just now made everyone in the hall turn their eyes to her, and there was a little sympathy in everyone's eyes.
The maid behind her looked at her in surprise and with a worried look on her face. Her little hands began to tremble unconsciously. After all, she had already anticipated the consequences of her master's words. She wanted to warn her master, but it was too late. Everything was irreversible.
Everyone in the Nine Netherworld knows what kind of person I am, and my decisiveness in killing people has long been recognized.
But now my young lady is still so ignorant and stupid that she actually said such words in public.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fact that the woman was close to me meant that she was the apple of my eye. If anyone touched me, they would be in great danger of losing their lives.
Ever since that young lady entered the hall, all the gossips and the noisy voices were so disturbing that I was already feeling annoyed. However, due to the large number of people, I could not deal with them one by one.
But now, my young lady is walking on the edge of a knife. In this situation, I will definitely find someone to be a scapegoat to vent my anger. I didn't expect that my young lady is so foolish.
In this situation, angering the sovereign would mean death. The maid's eyes showed despair. She was afraid that she would not survive, after all, her master would not survive.
The woman looked at Jing Yi with a smug look and contempt. The strange looks from the people around her had no effect on her at all, as if she didn't think these strange looks were looking at her.
Gu Juechen's expression was stern. His emotionless face only reflected a cold light in his obsidian eyes, which were filled with murderous intent.
"Come here, Xiao Ling, the concubine of the Xiao family, has been disrespectful and has offended this prince. Drag her out and be tortured to death."
There was no room for doubt in the words. Silence reigned over the hall, and the air seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Everyone withdrew their gazes. None of the orders issued by the solitary king would be denied, so Xiao Ling of the Xiao family was doomed this time.
The maid behind Xiao Ling had seen through all of this. From the first sentence Xiao Ling said, she already knew the result.
