"It hurts... Waaah... It hurts so much!"
Su Ruxue was in excruciating pain, as if she had been run over by a car. Half of her veil fell off, revealing her deathly pale face.
Because she was screaming in pain, her face was twisted and hideous, which ruined the fairy-like appearance she had painstakingly cultivated.
Puyang Ye quickly considered the emperor's feelings and did not immediately go to help the woman on the ground.
The dancer was the first to react and quickly helped Su Ruxue up.
"Is she alright? She looks badly injured."
"If she hadn't fallen, she would have been the best person tonight..."
"What a pity to waste such a wonderful dance."
The officials shook their heads and discussed among themselves, all wondering whose daughter this was.
Grand Commandant Su's face was so black it could drip water, and his eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Su Ruxue.
This troublesome illegitimate daughter of his actually made a fool of herself at the banquet hosted by the envoys from the vassal state. If his rivals found out, wouldn't they laugh at him to death?
Fu Sang ate a pastry, his eyes flickering slightly.
Su Ruxue's fall startled her as well.
Such an accident should not have happened; it must have been done intentionally.
While the ministers were discussing this, the emperor, who was feeding the young girl, spoke up.
"Lady Su, didn't I confine you to the inner palace?"
Su Ruxue had just gotten up when she heard the young emperor's murderous tone, and her body trembled violently.
To avoid getting involved with Su Ruxue, Puyang Ye had already returned to his own position.
Su Ruxue stood there helplessly.
She knelt down gracefully, raising her pale face.
"Your Majesty, I wish to share your sorrows and ease your grief, so I have taken the liberty of offering you a dance..."
Su Ruxue's eyes were filled with tears, and her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.
"This servant has practiced diligently for more than half a month, but I never expected that something would go wrong. Please punish this servant, Your Majesty."
As he recounted the story slowly, many people showed sympathy in their eyes.
The women in the harem scoffed at it.
Su Ruxue is a formidable opponent, not only possessing exceptional talent but also having a deep and cunning mind.
In front of so many officials.
If the ruler were benevolent, he would surely forgive the concubine who made the mistake and give her a minor punishment as a warning.
The young emperor's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"He left the inner palace without permission and disrupted the night banquet. His crime is doubled. He shall be executed."
These words were spoken.
Everyone was terrified.
Puyang Ye's brows furrowed instantly, and his hand under the table clenched into a fist.
Grand Commandant Su, however, remained indifferent.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Su Ruxue was terrified.
Rumors circulated in the palace that the tyrant had changed a lot, and he was also inexplicably killing his ministers indiscriminately in the court.
Tonight, he actually ordered a murder at the banquet.
The guards were also taken a while to react.
The young emperor narrowed his beautiful, obsidian-like eyes, his tone carrying a chilling aura and a violent killing intent.
"What? Do I really need to do it myself?"
A chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
No one dared to plead for them.
The guard shuddered and quickly went over to grab Su Ruxue, intending to drag her away.
Fu Sang felt a headache coming on and pouted unhappily.
#The female lead is courting disaster again#
Can't we let her complete the task properly?
"etc--"
A clear and pleasant voice rang out.
The guards stopped in their tracks.
The reason for this was that the person who spoke was a stunningly beautiful woman sitting next to the emperor.
The crowd looked toward the source of the sound.
With an elegant demeanor, Fu Sang said, "Tonight is a banquet to welcome the envoy; indiscriminate killing is inappropriate."
She looked at the boy beside her with a smile.
"How about we let her off this time?"
