Especially his smile, it was like he didn't care about money at all, his upturned lips looked like they were about to drip oil.
If they remembered correctly, ever since Prince Jing began fighting them, there had never been a trace of a smile on his handsome face. His cold expression and icy gaze made it seem as if they owed him money.
Tsk, men in love are terrifying!
I despise him.
Tch, how dare a man fawn over a woman like that? He has no regard for male dignity whatsoever. What is this if not a simp?
Forget it, it's his business. They have no right to interfere, nor are they qualified to interfere. More importantly, they can only mutter to themselves and dare not say anything out loud.
Don't ask, just answer from the heart!
While enjoying Jing Qingyun's massage, Sheng Lingwei glanced at the kneeling crowd, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Do you... want to die, or do you want to live?"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, wondering what Princess Chang Le meant by that. Could it be that she was going to let them go?
"Hmm?" Seeing that everyone remained silent, Sheng Lingwei's expression instantly turned cold. "Fine, good advice is useless against these damned devils. I'll just send you all to your deaths!"
"No, no!"
The crowd looked terrified and shouted anxiously.
"Princess Chang Le, we don't want to die, we don't want to die! Please don't kill us, please!"
“Princess Chang Le, I want to live. I am still young, and I haven’t lived enough yet. I don’t want to die at all. As long as you don’t kill me, I will do whatever you ask.”
"Princess……"
"..."

"Shut up, all of you! You're all too noisy." Sheng Lingwei rubbed her temples in annoyance, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at the crowd.
Hiss~~
Everyone was terrified and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look Sheng Lingwei in the eye. They were filled with panic and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Oh no, they've annoyed Princess Chang Le.
She's sure she'll kill them, what should we do?
Just then, Zheng Yishu came to Sheng Lingwei with the recorded roster and detailed information about each person.
"Princess, all those captured have been recorded. Please take a look."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Lord Zheng." Sheng Lingwei took the roster and began to look at it.
The people recorded on the first few pages were the leaders of the four major powers. She glanced at them briefly, but when she saw the people of the Southern Di Kingdom stationed in Yucheng County, she frowned.
Nandi Kingdom?
Isn't this the country ruled by her father, whom she has never met? He has even sent people to be stationed in the Northern Qi Kingdom.
This doesn't seem like something he would do.
Although I've never met him or had any contact with him, I often hear my younger brother and Uncle Kui talking about him.
She could roughly guess his personality. Perhaps it was due to the power of her genes, but her father's personality was very similar to hers. He didn't like to play dirty tricks, disdained conspiracy theories, and either crushed his opponents with force or confronted them head-on.
Setting up bases in other countries is something I just don't think is something someone with his personality would do.
Sheng Lingwei's eyes were serious. She ordered her guards to bring Uncle Kui and her younger brother over, as she had something to ask them.
The guards respectfully accepted the order and brought the two men over in no time.
Seeing the serious look on his older sister's face, Nangong Zichen immediately felt uneasy. Some bastard must have offended her.
"Sister, what brings you to see me and Uncle Kui? Could it be that some troublesome thing has upset you?"
Zhu Kui nodded in agreement, "Yes, Princess, who dares to be so bold as to anger you? I will tear him to pieces."
Torn to pieces?
The kneeling crowd shivered in unison, none of them daring to lift their heads.
Good heavens, they don't want to die!
Sheng Lingwei smiled and shook her head, giving the two of them a calm look before handing them the roster.
"Uncle Kui, brother, you'll know at a glance."
The master and servant took the roster, and when they saw the words "Southern Di Kingdom" written on it, their eyes widened in disbelief.
He hurriedly continued reading.
Wow, the fact that there were over a hundred people registered from the Southern Di Kingdom really surprised them.
Zhu Kui's brows were furrowed into a tight knot, and he was furious.
“Princess, these people cannot be from the Southern Di Kingdom. I don’t recognize a single one of them. It must be some trash impersonating people from the Southern Di Kingdom.”
Besides, the Emperor wouldn't arrange for people to secretly set up bases in other countries. If he had such an idea, he would definitely send people to other countries openly.
Furthermore, the Southern Barbarians were strong and powerful, and had no reason to engage in intrigues with other small countries.
If the emperor truly disliked a country, he wouldn't bother with any more whine; he would simply send troops to attack.
Although Nangong Zichen didn't speak, the expression on his face showed that he shared the same thoughts as Zhu Kui.
Sheng Lingwei nodded, with an expression that said, "I knew it," and immediately looked at the kneeling person, her tone chillingly cold.
“Those people who claim to be from the Southern Di Kingdom, step forward immediately.”
The kneeling crowd dared not utter a sound, especially the seven Southern Di people kneeling there, whose bodies trembled uncontrollably, and even their teeth chattered rhythmically.
Help! They don't want to go out, and this looks like they're coming to interrogate us. This is terrible!
Sheng Lingwei's eyes darkened, and she coldly snorted, "What? Do I have to personally invite you out?"
Jing Qingyun smiled gently, "Weiwei, don't be angry. I will personally bring those people out and let you deal with them as you see fit."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Qingyun moved like a ghost, kicking the seven people out in the blink of an eye, who screamed in terror.
"Help! Help!"
"Aaaaaah, I don't want to die! Boss, please save us!"
"..."
Immediately afterwards, their bodies formed graceful arcs as they crashed heavily to the ground one after another from mid-air.
They grimaced and howled in pain, wanting to beg for mercy, but when they met Sheng Lingwei's cold gaze, they quickly shut their mouths.
He dared not utter another cry of pain.
Sheng Lingwei tapped the armrest lightly, her tone languid yet filled with a sense of danger, "Come, all of you, tell me! What country are you from?"
The leader's eyes darted around wildly. He took a deep breath and said with a fawning smile, "Princess Chang Le, we really are from the Southern Di Kingdom. You are so powerful, even if we had a hundred lives, we wouldn't dare to deceive you!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Sheng Lingwei slapped the leader twice from a distance, breaking several of his teeth on the spot. His already bruised and swollen face was now even more swollen, resembling a pig's head.
"Hmph, still not behaving yourself even now, it seems you have no reason to live."
The next second, amidst lightning and thunder, a massive bolt of lightning struck the leader, instantly reducing him to ashes.
This scene once again terrified the kneeling crowd, and some of the more timid ones even wet themselves in fear.
Among them, several who were so frightened that they wet themselves were people who called themselves the Southern Di Kingdom.
They trembled violently, enduring the excruciating pain, and hurriedly scrambled to their feet, kneeling before Sheng Lingwei.
