"Shut up!"
Wang Gulan's face showed twisted anger. She could not accept Liu Yu's contempt and disdain.
At this time, Wang Gulan had gone crazy and could not accept her fate.
At the beginning, the man said that after he recovered from his injuries, he would take her back to the Central Continent to be the noble wife of the Holy Son of the Holy Land.
However, when that day finally arrived, she foolishly begged him to take her away with him. She still remembered the look that Grandmaster gave her. It was such contempt, such indifference.
However, the Son of God who had promised him eternal love didn't even look at him. When he saw the master who came to take him back to the holy land, he said that he didn't know this crazy woman at all.
Wang Gulan was filled with despair and betrayal at the time. She could not understand why she was so cruelly abandoned. She had thought she was an indispensable part of that man's life and a symbol of his love and glory.
However, now her husband Liu Yu wants to execute her and her children on charges of treason. Wang Gulan feels that God is extremely unfair to her.
She once thought that she was a favored child of heaven. Even if she could not become the wife of the Holy Son, she could at least become the emperor's woman.
But reality dealt her a heavy blow, sending her plummeting from heaven to hell. She could have been a noble concubine, but now she was about to be beheaded.
She hugged Liu Buchu tightly, as if this could help her hold on to the lost love, the promise and hope that man had once given her.
Liu Yu simply sneered, a hint of pity in his eyes. "Wang Gulan, you're too naive. Who do you think you are? A discarded woman who betrayed her husband. Do you really believe that the Holy Son would go against the distant Shu Kingdom, a continent away, just for you?" Liu Yu's voice was filled with sarcasm.
Wang Gulan's anger burned even more fiercely at Liu Yu's sneer. Her heart was filled with hatred for Liu Yu and resentment towards the Son of God.
"You don't understand, Liu Yu!" Wang Gulan's voice trembled, her eyes flashing with madness. "The Holy Son swore to himself, he will not forget me, he will not forget our oath!"
But Liu Yu just shook his head. There was no mercy in his eyes, only cold murderous intent. The woman he had slept with for more than ten years not only wanted to kill him, but even now, her heart was still obsessed with the man who had abandoned him. This made Liu Yu feel extremely pathetic.
Liu Yu slapped Wang Gulan in the face. Although this would not restore his dignity and would even damage his demeanor as a king, he had already lost too much face today, so this little thing was nothing now.
Wang Gulan's head was knocked sideways by the blow. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by an even more frantic rage. She desperately lunged at Liu Yu, attempting to scratch him with her nails, but was quickly restrained by the guards nearby. She struggled, cursing non-stop, her voice filled with despair and madness.
"You cold-blooded monster!" Wang Gulan's roar echoed above the city wall, her voice filled with hatred for Liu Yu.
Liu Yu simply stared at her coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He turned to the guards and ordered, "Take her and Liu Buchu away and keep them under strict guard. I don't want to see her again. Leave her for the execution next autumn. I want to see if the Holy Son she longs for will come to her rescue."
The guards received orders to escort Wang Gulan and Liu Buchu away from the city walls of Chengdu. Wang Gulan's cries and those of her child gradually faded away, but her resentment and despair seemed to solidify in the air, lingering for a long time.
Liu Yu stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. The ministers and common people below the wall were trembling in fear, not daring to make a sound. Today, he and others had heard the royal scandal with their own ears. Would they be silenced by the king?
Although Wang Gulan and Liu Buchu could be executed later, the ministers who participated in the rebellion would not be treated so well. Liu Yu was already furious and ordered, "Behead all these traitors."
After receiving Liu Yu's order, the guards scared the ministers who participated in the rebellion so much that their faces turned pale. They were dragged roughly by the guards and walked to the edge of the city wall.
As the men were dragged to the city walls, where the executioners had sharpened their blades and were ready to carry out the king's orders, the desperate cries and pleas for mercy from the ministers echoed in the air.
This shocked the ministers and the people below the city walls. The king was really going to take ruthless action.
Amidst the clash of swords, the heads of the rebellious ministers fell one by one beneath the city walls. Some of the ministers and civilians closest to the walls had blood splattered on their faces and bodies. Yet, they dared not express any emotion, only silently enduring this sudden terror and bloodshed.
Liu Yu watched coldly, without a trace of pity in his heart. He had been kind to these people before, but they regarded him as cowardice, which made them betray him even more.
Only iron-blooded means can maintain the stability of the country and one's own authority. This is also one of the principles of governance that Liu Yu learned in Wei. As a ruler, he must not allow anyone to challenge his power, let alone make small moves behind his back.
After all the rebellious ministers were executed, Liu Yu left the walls of Rongcheng. This mass execution of rebellious ministers cemented Liu Yu's reputation as a ruthless and merciless ruler in the hearts of the people of Shu. While horrified by the bloody scene, the people also understood that only by doing so could the country avoid civil unrest and restore social order.
After Liu Yu left, the guards on the city also left, leaving only the soldiers guarding the city walls.
The people below the city walls finally breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't expected that they, who had only come to join in the fun, would hear such a shocking royal scandal. They hadn't expected to witness such a ruthless and decisive side of their own king.
At this moment, these people felt that their lives were worth it.
Afterwards, Wang Gulan's romantic affairs were secretly circulated in Shu State and spread to various countries in Shengwu Continent along with the caravans.
Cao Mengde was in the palace. When he heard about Liu Yu's arrangement, his beard stood up with anger. He knew in his heart that Liu Yu had finally softened his heart.
Keeping Wang Gulan and her son alive would be a disaster. As long as they were alive, some people would harbor other illusions. It would even give the people of the Central Continent an excuse to attack the Shengwu Continent.
Cao Mengde sighed and thought that he had to solve this problem himself.
That night, Cao Mengde put on his nightgown and went to the prison to poison Wang Gulan and her son.
As a second-grade warrior, it is very easy to kill two people silently.
The ruthless Cao Mengde would not leave any factors that would be detrimental to his grandson and granddaughter.
