Chapter 305 Adulterer and adulteress!
Wen Chuyun hated Bai Wutong to the extreme at this time. If possible, she really wanted to tear him into pieces!
It's a pity that she is in a desperate situation now and can't do anything.
Seeing that Wen Chuyun still refused to give in, Zhang Chengyan raised his hand and slapped her in the face again, "Speak!"
"Your Majesty, I really didn't do that. Someone is slandering me!"
"You won't tell me, right? All right, come, torture me! Drag him out, don't let him dirty the Yangxin Palace!"
When the queen committed suicide in the Yangxin Palace, she was not punished.
But what Wen Chuyun did made Zhang Chengyan feel far more disgusted than what the Zhou family did.
For the sake of power, the Zhou family attempted to shake the foundation of the Darong Kingdom. Although it was despicable, it did have some reasons.
What made Zhang Chengyan angry was their ambition, that was all.
But Wen Chuyun actually had an affair with another man, which was simply a slap in his face and a great insult to his imperial power and dignity!
"ah--"
A shrill scream rang out outside the hall.
Wen Chuyun grew up in luxury and was the apple of everyone's eye.
The Zhou family had long planned to send her to the palace as a concubine, and they treated her very pampered, fearing that she would bump into something and leave the slightest scar.
How could such a spoiled woman withstand such torture?
After just a short while, Wen Chuyun was in so much pain that he saw stars and almost fainted.
Bai Wutong stood aside, watching her being tortured quietly, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart.
She had done something evil to herself, and now she was facing this kind of fate, she simply deserved it!
About an hour and a half later, Wang Decai came jogging with Wen Chuyun's mother.
Mother Wen had been worried all along the way. When she saw Wen Chuyun dying, her legs went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground. She shouted in horror, "Chuyun? What...what on earth is going on?"
Zhang Chengyan walked out of the Yangxin Palace with a gloomy face, "Princess Wen committed adultery with another man!"
"What...what? This is absolutely impossible!" Mother Wen knelt on the ground with a plop, crying, "Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding. Someone deliberately framed me. Chu Yun would never do such a treasonous thing."
Zhang Chengyan had already determined the facts, so why would he want to listen to her explanation?
The evidence is solid and right in front of him, he can't be wrong!
"Someone, take her down!"
Several imperial guards rushed forward and quickly pinned Mother Wen to the ground.
Her face was as pale as paper, and she was panicked, "Your Majesty..."
Zhang Chengyan's eyes were cold and his tone was gloomy, "If you don't tell me, I will kill her now! Today she is your mother, and tomorrow she will be your brother or sister. One day, your Wen family will die out because of you! You choose, do you want to die alone, or let your whole family be buried with you!"
Wen Chuyun was completely sober at this time. Zhang Chengyan had made up his mind. No matter how he argued, it would be useless.
"Your Majesty, if I tell you, can you give me a quick death?"
"Can."
Wen Chuyun gritted his teeth and uttered a few words with difficulty, "It's the guard, Wensi."
Zhang Chengyan signaled with his eyes, and Wang Decai immediately understood what he meant and quickly sent people to capture Wensi.
Not long after, Wensi, who was on patrol in the palace, was brought in tied up.
The moment he saw Wen Chuyun, he understood everything instantly.
Zhang Chengyan drew out his sword and pointed it at Wensi, "You are the one who committed adultery with Concubine Wen?"
Wen Chuyun didn't dare to look at Wen Si, "I...I have already confessed."
Wen Si slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination, "Yes, Your Majesty, Wenpin and I did... do that kind of thing!"
"You really deserve to die!" Zhang Chengyan was so furious when he heard them admit it in person that he almost stabbed them with the sword in his hand, wishing he could kill the two men on the spot!
Seeing this, Bai Wutong hurried forward to stop them, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. If you kill them directly, many things will not be clear, such as the last incident of Wenpin's heir, and why the two of them got together. Your Majesty, only by getting to the bottom of it can we prevent such scandals from happening again. Maybe there are many hidden dangers in this palace, which need to be thoroughly investigated and rectified."
When Wen's mother heard this, she felt dizzy and filled with fear and despair. She fainted on the spot.
This is truly a sin!
After listening to Bai Wutong's words, Zhang Chengyan calmed down a little.
Bai Wutong was right. He had to figure out why he, as the king of a country, was not as good as a small guard?
"Tell me, how did you two get together?"
Wen Si swallowed and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen and I have been childhood sweethearts. I have always been in love with her. I originally planned to ask for her hand in marriage when she reached the age of marriage, but I never thought that she would be chosen to enter the palace! I was really worried about her, so I managed to enter the palace as well."
Zhang Chengyan almost laughed out of anger after hearing this, "Why, according to you, it was I who broke up the ill-fated couple you two?"
"No, I have absolutely no such intention!"
"It was Concubine Wen's own choice to enter the palace. You two are a pair of shameless adulterers! Tell me, whose heir was the last one?"
Wen Chuyun himself didn't know, so he naturally wouldn't admit it, "It's the emperor's!"
Wen Si looked at her subconsciously.
This action clearly shows that the child is likely related to him!
Bai Wutong saw that Zhang Chengyan was about to be blinded by anger and was about to draw his sword, so he hurried forward again, grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, and urged anxiously, "Your Majesty, please calm down! It is best to deal with it according to the palace rules. This way, it will have the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and let everyone in the harem learn from it!"
Wen Chuyun endured the severe pain all over his body, and used up his last bit of strength to stare at Bai Wutong viciously, "You...you vicious woman, you really deserve to be cut into pieces! Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by her, she..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Chengyan kicked Wen Chuyun in the face in anger.
The kick was so powerful that it knocked her to the ground, with blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth.
"Shut up! Someone, take these two shameless people to the prison!"
Zhang Chengyan's chest heaved violently. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he would have killed the two men with his own hands.
Bai Wutong was right. Killing them so easily would be too easy for the adulterous couple!
According to palace rules, any concubine who dared to commit adultery would be punished by riding on a wooden donkey, which would make her die in agony, with her body mutilated, and she would become an animal in the next life. Only then would she feel relieved!
Soon, the Royal Guards stepped forward and took Wen Chuyun and Wen Si away.
Even if Mother Wen could luckily go back today, she would only be able to survive for a few more days.
The Wen family had long been targeted by Zhang Chengyan, and now was the perfect time to settle old scores together.
Bai Wutong sighed casually, "Alas, Your Majesty, since this guard and Concubine Wen have been childhood sweethearts, how could the Wen family not know about it? Yet they let him into the palace so easily and concealed it from the public. Moreover... I look at that Wen Si, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to yours, Your Majesty."
