Chapter 247: Skinning and Bone-Removing Punishment

Liu Shaoqing had never thought that there was someone who could read other people's minds, otherwise he wouldn't even dare to think about it. At this moment, he was even more determined to kill Xue, and little Li Sheng begged for mercy.

If it weren't for the fact that one of these two was of the wrong breed and the other was of the wrong age, Liu Shaoqing would have even wanted to use his own skills in deceiving the girls.

Of course, this is just thought.

In the flower hall, a grown man was begging for mercy from a child and a fox. The scene was magical no matter how you looked at it. It just so happened that the fox and the villain seemed to understand the plea for mercy in his words.

Little Li Sheng turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to pay any attention to the bad guy.

Xue Sha even raised his fox chin with an arrogant look on his face, obviously indicating that there was no room for negotiation.

Liu Shaoqing's mouth twitched as he watched this obviously humane action.

Are small animals and children nowadays so difficult to appease?

Seeing that Liu Shaoqing had run out of words and Liu Yunyi was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, Si Linglong didn't want to waste time with them anymore.

"From what you just said, you don't understand what you did wrong."

"You said that I would forgive you because they were unharmed, but you got one thing wrong. The reason they were unharmed was because they fought back desperately. When you ordered them to be killed, they tried their best to save themselves. This is not your credit. They saved themselves."

"If the perpetrators can be forgiven by claiming that the violence was unsuccessful, then who will pay for your past malice?"

When Si Linglong said this, she was less obedient and confused than usual, and was serious and stern in a rare way. Her tone was cold and serious, and her whole person seemed to carry an irresistible pressure. Even Helian Yue, who knew very well how silly and timid Si Linglong was inside, could not help but be touched by her serious look.

Not to mention, every word she said made sense.

Just because the violence was attempted, we cannot pretend that nothing happened.

Being soft-hearted won't make bad people stop when they see the advantage, it will only make them think that's all there is to it.

Evil people always climb up the ladder.

If letting her decide how to deal with the Liu brothers and sisters was just a whim of Helian Yue, then now, he was really curious about how she would deal with them.

Then, Si Linglong's voice was as clear as a cold spring, and her tone was dry and crisp with a hint of chill.

"I believe in an eye for an eye. Since you were planning to skin me and beat me to death, I'll let you both experience the feeling of being skinned and torn to pieces."

When these words were spoken, not only the Liu siblings, but also Si Jinyu and Gu Qingquan in the back were visibly stunned.

Although the crime is not a pity, such measures are too harsh.

Helian Yue just glanced at Si Linglong indifferently, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and his face remained silent.

Liu Yunyi, who was pretending to be dead, struggled to stand up after hearing this and looked at Si Linglong in disbelief, "No, you can't do this to us..."

The thought of having one's skin peeled off and one's bones removed made her whole body numb.

Liu Yunyi and Liu Shaoqing couldn't help but shiver, and even felt a dull pain under their skin.

"Don't peel my skin, don't...you can't be so cruel!"

Having said that, he turned to Helian Yue again, his voice was mournful and full of pity, "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler, you cannot allow the evil concubine to act so recklessly, the people of the world will scold you!"

Si Linglong's eyes froze when she heard that, and she scolded in a coquettish voice, "How dare she say that I'm a demon concubine? Lie Yi, beat her up!"

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of stopping him, Lie, who was hiding in the dark, silently slapped Liu Yunyi, who had just climbed up. Liu Yunyi spit out blood again, and this time he could not get up anymore. He could only lie on the ground, letting the tears and blood flow down his face into a ball, looking terrifying.

Si Jinyu secretly clenched her palms, obviously thinking that Si Linglong's decision was too cruel. In the past, she was just arrogant and willful, but in fact, she was a darling girl who wouldn't even watch a chicken being killed. How could she now say something like she wanted to skin and tear apart someone's bones?

Putting aside other things, isn't she worried about losing favor by showing such cruelty in front of a man?

Si Jinyu's face was solemn, and Gu Qingquan obviously felt that such a treatment would inevitably cause people all over the world to criticize the emperor's power. No matter who gave the order today, the final reputation would fall on the emperor.

Her emperor had already been cursed with too many insults when he ascended the throne. Now that it is like this, it is probably difficult for him to wash away the name of a tyrant in the future.

In the flower hall, Helian Yue was the only one who remained calm after hearing Si Linglong's words.

Only now, when Liu Yunyi and Liu Shaoqing were so frightened that their faces were covered with snot and tears, did he finally speak, and there seemed to be some helplessness and amusement in his tone.

"Okay, now that you've scared them, my dear, tell me how you're going to punish them."

Others didn't know about her, but when he heard her say that she wanted to skin and dismember people, he agreed with her in his heart. He heard it clearly.

Now that I've scared you enough, I can talk straight.
