He wanted to turn around and leave, not daring to look at the finger torture again, but was met with Xu Jinyi's cold face.
The look in his eyes was terrifyingly calm, chilling one's heart, as if he had seen through something.
The emperor didn't dare to leave at all. He watched with red eyes as the guard took out the finger-torsion tool.
When Jiang Yan saw the tool, her pupils shrank drastically and she curled up her fingers, refusing to be punished.
The guard stepped forward and forcibly pried her palms apart, reaching in with his fingers to grip them, then pulled them up mercilessly.
"ah--"
Jiang Yan screamed towards the sky, his white eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot, the scene was very heroic.
Beneath the emperor's wide sleeves, his hands were clenched into fists, veins bulging, and he was trying hard to resist the urge to rush forward.
I couldn't help but let the tears fall from my eyes, but I wiped them away quickly for fear of being discovered.
Xu Jinyi sneered softly and looked at Jiang Yan's bloody body without a trace of mercy.
In their previous life, the two men had fooled her around and took away hundreds of lives from their Xu family without even considering her kindness.
She could forgive the emperor for not loving her and not touching her, but she would never forgive what they had done.
There is nothing wrong in loving someone, but you should not love him/her by stepping on his/her dead body.
Today, if the emperor made an exception as an emperor and stood up to admit that he loved Jiang Yan and protected her with his own hands, Xu Jinyi would still look up to him.
Maybe I can still let Jiang Yan go.
But look at what he did? He watched the woman he loved being beaten into this state, and he didn't say a word. Is a man like this worthy of love?
What you're talking about is true love. How disgusting.
It wasn't just Xu Jinyi who thought this way; the dying Jiang Yan also thought so.
The physical pain was far less than the pain in her heart. Jiang Yan never imagined that one day, the person she loved the most would insult her and punish her in person, and watch her being beaten all over her body without doing anything.
Tears kept flowing, and Jiang Yan could no longer believe the emperor's words of love.
If he really loved her, how could he be so heartless.
Is there true love that is as tragic as hers? Is this really love?
Finally, after looking at the emperor who didn't even dare to look at her, Jiang Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
Many concubines felt that the punishment was too much and could not bear to watch it, until the imperial physician said that the child in Concubine Xi's belly could not be saved, and then they felt that Jiang Yan deserved it.
Seeing Jiang Yan being taken away, Xu Jinyi spoke again: "Now that the two sisters in the harem are pregnant, and everyone's status has not been promoted in the past few years, Your Majesty should mention the status of the old ones before the selection."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor looked distraught and absent-minded: "It's up to the imperial concubine to decide on this matter."
After everyone left, Xu Jinyi thought the emperor would go to see Jiang Yan first, but he didn't expect him to stay for dinner.
"My beloved concubine, I really arrange for someone to deliver contraceptive soup to them every day. Don't be angry." Looking at Xu Jinyi's cold face, the emperor knew that Xu Jinyi must be angry.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am so happy that my sisters are pregnant. How could I be angry?"
The emperor smiled and said, "I know that the imperial concubine has always been virtuous and considerate. My beloved concubine, could you please tell my brother-in-law to promote those people?"
Xu Jinyi fiddled with her nails and said nonchalantly, "I have no business interfering with my elder brother's affairs. Your Majesty can go and speak to him on his own if he wants to."
Seeing Xu Jinyi's attitude was wrong and she was not willing to give in, the emperor became serious: "Xu Jinyi, what are you making a fuss about? You arranged the people who sleep with me, and it was not my intention for them to get pregnant."
"If you don't like it, I'll just have them abort it. Can't you be more sensible?"
"Today, the Regent King has made it difficult for me to step down in the court. He is extremely powerful. You are my concubine. If I am not doing well, how can you remain unscathed?"
Xu Jinyi's expression remained unchanged as he spoke perfunctorily, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is a rule passed down from ancient times. What is your majesty doing?"
The emperor's eyes grew dark, he did not understand why the imperial concubine had suddenly become so cold towards him, as if she had become a different person.
"My beloved concubine, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I can explain them to you. You said you are not angry, so why did my elder brother suddenly suppress my people, and why did the Prime Minister also call in sick and not attend the court?"
"My beloved, tell me. Who made you angry? If I did something wrong, I can change it."
Xu Jinyi yawned and said, "I am a little tired. Your Majesty, please have your meal. I will go to sleep for a while."
The emperor was panicked and had no mood to look at the dishes on the table. He quickly stood up and followed.
The Regent has obviously returned in strength today. If he loses his trump card Xu Jinyi at this time, he will really have nothing.
How else could he fight the Regent, and how could he take back the military power from the Regent?
Xu Jinyi frowned and glanced at the emperor who was following behind him.
"I am also a little tired, so it's a good opportunity for me to sleep with my beloved concubine."
He absolutely could not let Xu Jinyi escape from his control, he had to hold on to Xu Jinyi's boat tightly.
As long as they were husband and wife, he didn't believe that the person in front of him would not help him.
Xu Jinyi almost couldn't control herself and killed the dog emperor directly. Such a dirty person actually dared to have feelings for her.
Looking at the dog emperor, her eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth: "I have a small day today, so it is not convenient for me to serve you in the bed. I will arrange for my sisters to serve the emperor."
"Your Majesty, please wait in the Yangxin Palace."
Of course the emperor refused to leave: "No need, I will just stay with you to sleep and do nothing." As he said that, he was about to hug Xu Jinyi's waist.
At this time, Qing'er came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to go to the Cining Palace immediately."
The emperor's hands froze and his eyes were sinister, but he still went to the Cining Palace.
Xu Jinyi lowered his brows and silently put away the dagger in his hand.
A hint of regret flashed across his eyes. The Dog Emperor almost became the first one-armed emperor in history.
Just as she was about to turn around to eat, she saw Xiao Jing striding over with a dark face, and directly held Xu Jinyi's face and kissed her.
Xiao Jing was furious. When he thought about how the dog emperor had just tried to touch his woman, he became irritated, angry, and wanted to kill someone.
How dare he?! How dare he?!
As if knowing why he was angry, Xu Jinyi put her arms around his neck and actively kissed him back to comfort him.
Xu Jinyi's initiative ignited a raging fire, completely burning Xiao Jing's sanity.
The man's movements were gentle and extremely tender as he showered Xu Jinyi with kisses all over her.
His big hands hooked onto her belt and gently pulled it, causing the gauze to slide off, revealing her shoulders.
His fingertips were slightly cool, causing tingling sensations on her skin.
Qing'er's face flushed red, she lowered her head and retreated, closing the door and standing guard at the door.
The kiss between them became more and more passionate. Xiao Jing protected her head and pressed her against the pillar, with his palm covering her through her clothes.
The movements are gentle yet unrestrained and spontaneous.
