There was a sleepless night in the palace. The sounds of torture filled the imperial kitchen and echoed throughout the palace.
The sound continued to linger until the next day.
At the morning court session, all the ministers could not help but wipe away their cold sweat when they heard the faint wailing.
This princess of the previous dynasty was truly amazing. She was actually favored by this sinister man for such a long time and her emperor's favor never waned.
Song Chiyou sat on the dragon throne, covering his mouth and yawning.
The eunuch beside him said at the right moment: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
Seeing that they had not spoken, Song Chiyou turned around and left. His most important task now was to find out the person who dared to harm Xu Qiudong secretly and then kill him.
The eunuch said in a shrill voice: "Dismiss the court."
A group of ministers walked out of the palace, talking in groups of three or five.
"What the hell happened?"
"I get goosebumps all over my body just listening to that sound."
"When I heard that voice, I thought of the past..."
The way Song Chiyou dealt with the betrayers still makes their hair stand on end.
This man is so scary.
"Duke, you are well-informed. Do you know what happened to this lady in the palace?"
The person who was called looked up at them with an unnatural expression, without stopping or saying anything, and left quickly.
"Strange, what's wrong with the Duke today?"
“…”
In the palace dungeon, a man reported to Song Chiyou.
"Your Majesty, these people have confessed."
"Who is it?"
Song Chiyou was wearing a complicated dragon robe and walking in the dim dungeon.
The man didn't say it out loud, but presented their testimony to Song Chiyou.
Song Chiyou picked up the testimony and took a look at it, and couldn't help but look cold.
Why doesn't he know how to be satisfied?
Song Chiyou summoned the Duke overnight.
He is both Song Chiyou's teacher and friend. When Song Chiyou first came to this world, he was able to live in this world faster because of his help. It was also his persuasion that made Song Chiyou determined to rebel.
After the uprising was successful, they established a new dynasty. Song Chiyou gave him respect and honored him as a Duke. He didn't expect that he would treat him like this.
You are already a Duke, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
"I already know everything."
The Duke collapsed to the ground. After a moment, he regained his composure and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, everything I have done is for Your Majesty."
He hasn't lost yet.
He and the emperor have been together for so many years, I don’t believe he is not as good as a woman.
"For me?" Song Chiyou just found it funny when he heard this. "You want to kill my woman, and you keep saying it's for me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The Duke was already very disappointed, and he could probably guess Song Chiyou's position.
"Your Majesty, that woman is a witch. For the sake of the court and the people, this woman must die."
"How dare you!" Song Chiyou angrily interrupted him, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You killed her parents with your own hands, so you're afraid. You're afraid of her whispering in your ear."
Song Chiyou ruthlessly exposed the Duke's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I am absolutely not,"
Song Chiyou was so angry that he threw the testimony at him and asked, "Do you think I am a tyrant?"
In fact, Song Chiyou had also thought about why Xu Qiudong was with him?
He killed her parents, destroyed her family, and turned her from a noble princess into a prisoner.
