Now that all hope is gone, he doesn't seem to be in as much pain as he imagined.
He was actually tired.
So much has happened in the past few years: from my own disfigurement to the death of my mother, and then to my younger brother being completely crippled. And then there's my father's indifference and hypocrisy.
It seems like... it seems like several decades have passed.
A Luo was putting on an act with him, but wasn't he also putting on an act with A Luo? But whether it was an act or genuine feelings, over the years, he had only ever treated A Luo this way.
He feared loneliness more than death or anything else.
He was really afraid of being alone.
If Aro also dies, it seems that no one will ever mention the past to him again.
Mentioning his mother, his younger brother, or himself.
Therefore, Aro cannot die.
She has to live.
Aro lives, but Emerald must die.
Along with Jade, a eunuch from the storeroom, a maidservant from the main courtyard, a third-class maid from Wenyue Pavilion, and two eunuchs from the front courtyard were also arrested.
At this moment, these people were kneeling on an open space in the front yard of the mansion.
Shu Chengfeng sat there, with the Crown Princess and all the female relatives present.
Because of the hot weather, an iceberg was placed in front of everyone.
The men were kneeling, trembling as if the blazing sun couldn't reach them.
But in reality, they were all kneeling in the sunlight.
"Over the years, I've watched you stir up trouble and cooperate from the inside out." Shu Chengfeng smiled. "Have you ever thought about what will happen if you're exposed?"
Several people were trembling.
"I am not one to enjoy killing, but I have been in a really bad mood lately. All of you will die, and not only will you die, but your families will too. Not a single one of you will be spared."
The crowd wept bitterly, begging only for the Crown Prince to forgive their families.
But that's impossible.
Yun's injury hasn't healed yet, but she can move around now.
At this point, he ordered the eunuchs to gag those men.
"Your Highness, what form of torture should we use?"
"Let the women be beaten to death. As for the men, break their limbs and throw them into a mass grave. They can be buried whenever they die," Shu Chengfeng said.
The Crown Princess's face turned pale, and her hand trembled slightly.
Upon seeing this, Consort Ye asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
Ye Liangdi herself was also afraid, but she couldn't stop her from mocking the Crown Princess.
It mainly reminded me of Xiang'er from back then.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I am very grateful for your concern, sister. I am fine."
Yan Nangui suddenly stood up: "Your Highness is being unreasonable! These bastards betrayed us, they deserve to die. Whether they are beaten to death, have their limbs broken and fed to the dogs, or are turned into human pigs, or even tortured to death, they deserve it. What did I do to deserve this?"
"Your Highness is killing a chicken, but you're making us the monkeys. We're all women, who isn't afraid of this bloody mess?"
After saying that, she turned around and said, "If Your Highness has warned me, I have already received the warning and naturally dare not betray you. I will not watch such a scene. If Your Highness insists that I watch, then give me a crime."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
After offering incense and bowing to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, he hurriedly followed them away.
Then, Shu Chengfeng laughed instead: "That temper."
"Yan Liangyuan has gone too far! She's really outrageous!" Xiao Liangyuan said angrily, turning to look at Shu Chengfeng as she was about to say something, but he glared at her and shut her up.
Shu Chengfeng turned to look at the Crown Princess: "This is my fault. I originally thought that disciplining these people would cleanse our household and let you all see it, which would be satisfying and comforting. However, I overlooked the fact that you would be afraid of the bloodshed."
"Your Highness meant well. It is a matter within the household, and we are all aware of it." The Crown Princess smiled. "Please don't be angry. That's just how Yan Shi is. We'll have her apologize to you later."
"Hehe, it won't be easy to get her to apologize. Forget it, you should all go back. This is really not suitable for you to watch, or you'll get scared." Shu Chengfeng waved his hand.
The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment before getting up; she really didn't dare to look.
Everyone felt relieved upon hearing this.
The Crown Princess took her leave, and everyone else followed.
Shu Chengfeng sat back down and smiled, "Look at her temper."
Yun Ji leaned in and laughed, "Yan Liangyuan said what no one else dared to say."
Indeed, the women's faces all turned pale.
Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let's carry out the execution. Yan Shi has reminded me. These women..."
Hearing this, the girls were so frightened they wished they could die on the spot.
Shu Chengfeng smiled again: "Alright, let's carry out the execution like this. But remember, if there are any spies again, we can try those few punishments."
Yun Ji smiled and agreed, then waved his hand, and the guards came to do the beating themselves.
Of course, one cannot kill a person all at once.
Now that the women had all left, Shu Chengfeng wasn't in the mood to look at this anymore; he wasn't the kind of person who liked bloodshed.
After getting up, he couldn't help but click his tongue a few times and headed straight for Jiyue Pavilion.
Inside Jiyue Pavilion, Yan Nangui had just changed her clothes and was comfortably drinking sour plum juice.
As soon as Shu Chengfeng arrived, she didn't even get up: "Look, isn't this His Majesty?"
"Nonsense." Shu Chengfeng sat down and glared at him.
"Your Highness is so powerful now. I'm afraid I might lose my head if I say the wrong thing." Yan Nangui rolled her eyes.
"You still said a lot, and you even gave me attitude in public. You've gone too far!" Shu Chengfeng pinched her cheek.
"You almost scared me to death, and I can't even say a few words? Don't you know I'm not in good health? I need to take supplements, what good does it do to scare me? Or are you trying to scare everyone in the backyard to death so you can replace them with a new batch?" Yan Nangui kicked him.
She had just taken off her shoes, so kicking her while she was wearing socks meant it didn't hurt.
Shu Chengfeng leaned back: "Bring me something cold."
"Is Your Highness in a good mood today?" Yan Nangui asked.
During this period, quite a few people died in the capital.
If the Seventh Prince's scheme fails, he'll drag several people down with him.
There weren't as many as the Second Prince, but there were still a few families that collapsed and a few people who died.
Shu Chengfeng didn't answer that question, but instead asked, "What have you been doing all this time?"
It was only in the last few days that he had this much free time.
“Nothing was done,” Yan Nangui replied.
“You’re not bored when I’m not around.”
"Your Highness is busy with state affairs and military matters. What am I supposed to do when I'm bored? Go find you? Your Highness is so heartless these days. I was the one who took care of you when you were injured. Isn't caring for you in your illness considered meritorious? And you have the nerve to blame me. Is being sensible a mistake?" Yan Nangui sneered.
"You've been quite sharp-tongued today, just wait and see what happens," Shu Chengfeng said slowly.
Yan Nangui hummed a hum.
Shu Chengfeng had other matters to attend to, so he couldn't stay any longer. He got up after lunch.
Before leaving, he stared at Yan Nangui and smiled: "I punish you by making you stay at home for seven days to reflect on your mistakes."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Yan Nangui said casually.
Shu Chengfeng laughed: "Is seven days enough?"
The wild geese fly south, baring their teeth.
Shu Chengfeng laughed loudly: "Just stay put and I'll come back in a few days."
Soon, news of Yan Liangyuan's punishment spread.
