"Well, go back first, I'll come find you later."
"Okay." Xu Jinyi didn't want to see Wu Ziqian either. She was afraid that she couldn't hold back the hatred in her eyes.
She didn't want the emperor to see her cruel side, but that didn't stop her from flattering Wu Ziqian.
After taking two steps, Xu Jinyi turned his head and his eyes fell on Wu Ziqian.
He took a look before leaving.
The emperor's eyes became more vicious. After he could no longer see Xu Jinyi's back, he turned to look at Wu Ziqian who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were covered with a layer of frost.
He sneered, "It seems that the Wu family is so powerful in the imperial palace that they can even enter this imperial garden without my permission."
"This is the road leading to the harem. No one outside the harem is allowed to enter. What's going on? Is the Wu family planning a rebellion?"
Wu Ziqian was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I came here to visit the imperial concubine and I have no ulterior motives."
"The imperial concubine is under house arrest. Who allowed visitors? And what were you doing just now?"
"I heard that you, Ziqian, once intended to take my queen as a concubine. Is this true?"
Eunuch Wang Yun secretly thought that this was not good. The calmer the emperor was at a time like this, the angrier he was.
I'm afraid there will be bloodshed in the Imperial Garden today.
I sighed in my heart for the eldest son of the Wu family.
Everyone knows that the Queen is the Emperor's favorite, but this man actually dares to stare at the Queen without blinking. Isn't he asking for trouble?
Wu Ziqian almost buried his head in the ground: "There is absolutely no such thing. Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty."
Wu Ziqian was not stupid. He did not make the news known. He just planned to do it secretly so that not many people would know about it. As long as he denied it, the emperor would have no choice.
"Without evidence, I really can't do anything to you, but you offended the Queen with your eyes just now. You can't say I was wrong, right?"
"Someone! Break his legs and throw him in jail!"
If the emperor wants to punish someone, he can just give him a random title. Why would he need to explain anything?
The guards stepped forward swiftly and broke Wu Ziqian's legs.
"ah--"
Wu Ziqian gasped for breath. He had not expected the emperor to do this. He begged for mercy again and again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not intend to offend the Empress. Please have mercy on me..."
The emperor acted as if he hadn't heard anything: "Wang Yun, arrange for someone to serve him well."
"I understand."
After finishing the work, the emperor strode back to the Pepper Room. Looking at Xu Jinyi who was sitting quietly in the yard eating snacks, he walked over, lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely.
Su Mian blushed and quickly took Xier away, and called away the palace maid who was taking care of the garden.
The emperor's kiss seemed uneasy, eager and lingering.
"His Majesty."
"Um!"
"That was Wu Ziqian just now, right?" Xu Jinyi hesitated and spoke.
The emperor's eyes darkened. He didn't expect that Xu Jinyi actually remembered Wu Ziqian.
Yier seldom goes out and doesn't know many people. Moreover, after knowing each other for so long, he knows that she has face blindness.
Unless that person looks special or has done something that impressed her.
Otherwise, ask her to identify a person, unless that person often appears in front of her, or that person is different in her heart.
The emperor discovered this by accident, just like he discovered Xu Jinyi's little secret, which was a little secret known only to him.
Make him happy and delighted.
So when he learned that Wu Ziqian had left an impression on her, whether it was good or bad, he felt very unhappy.
This feeling is very bad and he doesn't like it.
Anyone who covets her deserves death.
Touching Xu Jinyi's bulging belly, the emperor nodded casually.
After receiving a positive response, Xu Jinyi gasped in shock, his eyes red.
This look frightened the emperor: "What's wrong, Yi'er?"
Xu Jinyi shivered and huddled in the emperor's arms, burying her head in it as if seeking comfort.
"I knew it was him. It's the same look he gave me two years ago."
"Your Majesty, I'm scared! He looks at me like he's sizing up prey. I'm scared!"
Xu Jinyi's tears fell, and she was extremely scared.
The emperor hugged the person and coaxed him in a gentle voice.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let him appear in front of you in the future. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Your Majesty, I am so scared. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I might have..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I'll protect you."
Xu Jinyi cried and cried, then she clutched the emperor's clothes tightly on her chest and fell asleep with tears on her face.
The emperor carried her back to the palace and waited until she fell asleep before going to the prison.
Wu Ziqian was shocked. The emperor's expression was even more terrifying than before. He didn't think that the emperor was going to let him go back.
Wu Ziqian lay on the ground, watching the emperor walk up to him, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I really have no desire for the Empress. I was just stunned by her and forgot my sense of propriety."
"I beg Your Majesty to spare my life."
The emperor was angry when he saw his cowardly look. How could such a reptile be worthy of thinking about his people?
Looking at the hand, the emperor raised his foot and stepped down hard, crushing it.
It is said that the fingers are connected to the heart. Wu Ziqian screamed in pain and struggled, but he couldn't pull his hand out no matter what.
The emperor soon felt bored and raised his foot. Just when Wu Ziqian thought the emperor had let him go, the emperor said something that made him shudder.
"Someone! Dig out his eyeballs!"
Wu Ziqian ignored the pain, his eyes widened in fear, and he kowtowed hard: "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"For the sake of my aunt's years of service to you and my father's loyalty to the court, please spare my life."
The emperor looked at him coldly: "Don't worry, I don't want your life."
Wu Ziqian had just breathed a sigh of relief when the emperor spoke again, his words coming out like the King of Hell demanding his life: "I only want your eyes. I will send you back to the Wu family."
"No--"
A few days later.
At Grand Tutor Wu's residence, Eunuch Wang Yun personally led people to send Wu Ziqian back.
"Grand Tutor Wu, the Emperor has shown mercy. Your son offended the Empress, and sparing his life is a great favor."
Grand Tutor Wu trembled as he looked at his legitimate son who was being supported by someone. The white cloth covering his eyes and his limp legs made him understand something.
He couldn't stand and fell backwards, but fortunately a servant supported him and prevented him from falling to the ground.
The Grand Tutor gasped, unable to accept this reality for a long time.
The legitimate son whom he had always placed high hopes on has now become a useless person.
Seeing this, Eunuch Wang Yun said, "Taishi, take care of yourself. Your son has been sent to our family and will return to the palace first."
Seeing the person leaving, the Grand Tutor's wife pounced on him.
"My son! How could His Majesty be so cruel? My Wu family has served the royal family for many years. How could His Majesty be so cruel?"
"Shut up?! Don't you think you have enough to do? They haven't even left yet!"
When the Grand Tutor learned that his son had disappeared after entering the palace, he realized something was wrong.
Now that it’s like this, I only have regrets in my heart.
