"Sister-in-law Wang! Are you in such a hurry to kill me?" Ji Shishi sneered.
Ji Shishi's sudden appearance surprised even the Empress Yan. She hadn't expected that Ji Shishi would actually come to her doorstep.
"Hmph! You've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"
Empress Yan sneered, "You colluded with the Xianbei sorcerers, bewitched your brother, and caused him to be burned to death by sorcery! Such a heinous crime of regicide, tell me... why should I kill you? Guards, what are you all standing there for? Seize him immediately!"
The two soldiers at the palace gate immediately stepped forward and seized Ji Shishi!
"Let me go! You brutes!" Ji Shishi struggled.
"Oh!"
The Queen of Yan sneered, "My soldiers of Great Yan are brutes, while that savage who eats raw meat and drinks blood is your dream lover... Is there any justice in the world? Throw him into the death row! Tomorrow at noon, have him executed by slow slicing!"
"Empress Dowager!"
At this moment, an old minister stepped forward and said, "Uh... that Xianbei sorcerer Jiang Ming has wreaked havoc in the court and killed our emperor; he is truly hateful! However... this princess is also a victim. She was first bewitched by that sorcerer, losing her mind, and thus she allowed him to do as he pleased..."
"Yeah yeah!"
"That's exactly the situation. This sorcerer is truly hateful!"
......
Several ministers who were considered upright also echoed this sentiment.
Although they disliked Jiang Ming, they genuinely sympathized with the princess's plight...
“Your Majesty, the King has just passed away, and his body is barely cold. To execute the Princess so soon is indeed somewhat…detrimental to Your Majesty’s benevolent virtue…uh, what this old minister means is, could you spare the Princess’s life? After all, she was also a victim.”
The old minister offered his advice.
"hehe......"
Empress Yan gave a cold laugh and asked, "Anyone else who believes Ji Shishi deserves to die, step forward..."
The courtiers looked at each other.
Three or four ministers stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, second the opinion of Imperial Censor Zhang..."
"Yes! Why not let the eldest princess reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors? This would also demonstrate the Empress Dowager's magnanimity."
......
"Magnanimous? Ha!"
Empress Yan sneered, "She killed my husband, and you expect me to be magnanimous? Guards, seize all of them!"
At a command, warriors entered the hall and arrested all the ministers who had pleaded for Ji Shishi.
At this moment, the Queen of Yan truly seemed to be thinking, "Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish!"
Seeing that the situation was settled, the Empress Yan breathed a sigh of relief... but then she remembered the sounds of Lady Jin and the Prince of Yan fooling around in the bedroom during the first half of the night, and her liver trembled with anger again!
"Guards! Bring me that filthy bitch Jin from Ji Kingdom!"
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the warriors brought the Kim family here!
Jin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager! May Your Majesty the Empress Dowager be blessed!"
......
"hehe......"
With the smug satisfaction of a victor, Queen Yan smiled faintly: "You and the King had a good time tonight, didn't you? How come that sorcerer Jiang Ming didn't burn you to death when he set the fire?"
Jin was completely stunned... her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to say.
"His Majesty has always praised your soft hands... your slender legs, and... your dancing is excellent!"
Empress Yan sneered, "Now you'd better perform for us, so all the ministers can see..."
"Hahaha!"
......
The ministers all grinned, eager to see Kim make a fool of himself.
A few ministers who still possessed some compassion let out a long sigh...
Since ancient times, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. The King of Yan is dead and the Queen of Yan is victorious... so naturally, the Jin family fell into the hands of the mother.
"Your Majesty, I dare not! Your Majesty..."
"You don't dare? Is there anything you don't dare to do?"
The Queen of Yan teased, "Didn't you tell the King tonight that you wanted to give him a son? You even said you wanted your son to be the Crown Prince?"
"ah?"
Faced with the Empress's exaggerated retelling of her words, Lady Jin dared not refute and could only kowtow repeatedly!
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty!"
"What crime do you know?"
"I shouldn't have said those outrageous things..."
"snort!"
Empress Yan sneered, "I ordered you to dance, why won't you? Do you intend to defy the imperial decree?"
Upon hearing this, Jin suddenly realized what was happening. After trembling for a moment, she immediately began to dance obediently in the main hall.
The courtiers all watched Kim's dance with lustful eyes, thinking to themselves... This is a privilege the king usually enjoys.
Who would see the princess dancing on ordinary days?
As Jin Shi danced, Empress Yan glanced at the eyes of the men in the hall and recalled the shameless and infatuated look on Prince Yan's face when he watched Jin Shi dance. Suddenly, a nameless rage rose in her heart!
"Someone come here!"
The Empress ordered, "Gouge out her eyes, cut off her nose, ears, and tongue, knock out all her teeth one by one, then cut off her hands and feet and throw her into the latrine!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Your Majesty, spare me! I know I was wrong!"
