253 The battle was over. If the division was not equal, they had to kill him.

Feng Qingchen didn't know what the eunuch said to Wenzhu, nor did he want to know.

Wen Zhu was stunned at first, then looked unbelieving, then nodded vigorously, with the expression on her face constantly changing. If Feng Qingchen saw it, he would definitely say that this palace maid changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

After the eunuch finished speaking, he retreated without any intention of greeting Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen also cared about these small details, as long as the result was to her satisfaction.

Wenzhu changed her previous arrogance and stepped forward respectfully: "Miss Feng, these two palace maids are ignorant and have offended you. I will beat them to death with a stick."

After saying this, he ordered the eunuchs to come forward and pick up the two palace maids and take them to the bench.

"Aunt, please spare us, Aunt, please spare us." Only then did the two palace maids realize that they were really going to be beaten to death, and they cried out to the sky.

Wenzhu pretended not to hear anything, but winked at the eunuch who was carrying out the execution.

"Miss Feng, please spare my life. Miss Feng, please have mercy on me. I will never dare to do it again. Miss Feng, please, you are a doctor with a kind heart. I beg you."

The two palace maids broke free from the eunuchs, knelt at Feng Qingchen's feet and kowtowed desperately, their faces covered with tears and blood, looking as miserable as Feng Qingchen before.

It would be a lie to say that she was not soft-hearted. Even though her hands were stained with blood, she had never killed an innocent person. It was just that the people in Zhaoyan Palace were still plotting against her at this moment, and she could not let them go.

Would the eunuchs who were in charge of carrying out executions in the imperial palace fail to catch the two palace maids? Would they fail to silence the two palace maids?

Do you really think that Feng Qingchen is an idiot who allows herself to be manipulated by that Concubine Xie?

Feng Qingchen remained calm and composed, ignoring the cries for help and concentrating on looking at the patterns on the screen.

It was indeed unreasonable to kill someone because of a few words, but Feng Qingchen knew very well that the focus was not on these two palace maids and their words that hurt her, but on Concubine Xie's attitude.

These two palace maids may be innocent, but they are pawns of Zhaoyan Palace, pawns abandoned by Concubine Xie. Their life and death have nothing to do with her, Feng Qingchen.

After brushing shoulders with death several times in this palace, Feng Qingchen understood one thing: even if you don't want to kill someone, the other person may not let you go; even if you are soft-hearted, your enemies will not be.

It is the most foolish thing to be soft on your enemies.

She let these two palace maids go today. Although she has a reputation for being kind, it also shows that she is incompetent and that she was wrong. These two palace maids must die today no matter what. If they don't die, she will be the next one to die.

Seeing that Feng Qingfa showed no sign of mercy at all, Wen Zhu became even more frightened. How old was she, yet she was so ruthless and cold-blooded. Even a man was not as decisive as her in killing.

She remembered that when Concubine Xie first entered the palace, she would feel guilty and sad even if she severely punished a palace maid, let alone beat or kill one. When she heard the palace maid's pleas for mercy, she would let her go out of her heart. It was not until she was framed by a palace maid and almost sent to the cold palace that Concubine Xie realized that there were no innocent people in the palace, only people who wanted to be killed, people who could be used, and people who were useless.

Wen Zhu knew that Zhao Yandian had lost this test: "What are you still standing there for? Drag these two guilty maids away and beat them up."

"Yes, aunt." The eunuch hurried forward, dragged the man away in a few seconds, and put him on the bench.

"Please spare us, please spare us, Miss Feng, please spare us. We will never dare to do it again." The two palace maids cried and shouted, and struggled desperately, but they could not break free.

Feng Qingchen had no expression on his face, but his eyes grew colder.

Pah pah pah…

The two palace maids howled in pain as the board was hit, which was so miserable. Feng Qingchen felt sore in his heart and his hair was numb. He wanted to stop it countless times, but he held it back.

In a ghost place like the palace, kindness is the most unacceptable. Even if she lets the two palace maids go, they will not let her go. In the palace, all she has to do is protect herself. If she did not have her current status and ability, she would be the one beaten to death.

Feng Qingchen quietly loosened his hand so as not to let Wen Zhu see his inner thoughts. His face remained calm, as if he had not heard the screams that were getting louder and louder and then gradually weakening.

Heart as hard as iron!

This was Wen Zhu's evaluation of Feng Qingchen. Even though Wen Zhu was used to being tortured, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when she heard the gradually weakening screams of the two palace maids, but Feng Qingchen didn't show any expression.

She had to tell the Queen that if she couldn't kill Feng Qingchen with one blow, she shouldn't be an enemy. Such an enemy was too scary.

After a series of loud beatings from the sticks, the two palace maids no longer had the strength to scream. Feng Qingchen knew that they were not far from death.

Two young lives died in front of me in the blink of an eye. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel guilty, but this is the law of survival in this world.

Don’t think that just because you have traveled through time, you are special and can shout about human rights, equality for all, and the prohibition of lynching.

As the beating continued, Feng Qingchen's thoughts drifted to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He wondered in his heart, if the man brought by the Duke of Zhenguo could really make thunder bombs, what would the emperor do? What would Xiling, Nanling, and Beiling do?

All the people from these three countries are in Dongling. Today's bombing at the city gate was obviously not the work of these three countries. If this thing came from these three countries, it would not appear at the city gate, but on the battlefield.

The people of these three countries must have also received the news that the Duke of Zhenguo brought people into the palace. I wonder how they will deal with this matter.

A talent who knows how to make thunderous bombs cannot be used by herself, nor can it be used by the opponent. If she were Xiling Tianlei, Su Wan and Beiling Fengqian, she would definitely kill that person and prevent Dongling from becoming powerful.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingchen felt relieved for no reason. The colleague who traveled through time would not live long. There were too many people in this world who wanted him dead.

The one who can make thunderous bombs is indeed a popular talent, but he is also a scourge at the same time. Among the four kingdoms and nine cities, the one who wants to unify the world is not just the emperor of Dongling. Everyone wants such a talent, but there is only one. If the talents are not shared equally, of course he can only die.

"Miss Feng." The two maids were already dead. Wen Zhu stepped forward to report to Feng Qingchen, "The two criminal maids who offended Miss Feng have been beaten to death. Miss Feng, would you like to check them out?"

Feng Qingchen quickly collected her thoughts, and looked indifferent and aloof, as if she was hard to understand. "What does aunt mean by this? Qingchen doesn't understand. What does it have to do with Qingchen whether these two palace maids are killed or not? Didn't they break the palace rules, and did aunt punish them according to the rules? How is it related to Qingchen again?"

That's right. From the beginning to the end, she never said that she wanted the two palace maids to be killed. She said that it was Wenzhu who was to be beaten to death. Although it was not illegal to beat and kill two palace maids in the palace, it was better not to put the blame of murder on her.

Although her reputation was not very good, she could not just give up. She did not want to be known as a cruel person who abused palace maids.

Wen Zhu was so angry that her face turned blue, but thinking of the eunuch's warning and Feng Qingchen's methods, Wen Zhu could only swallow her anger and smiled humbly: "Yes, Miss Feng is right. It was my fault. Miss Feng, thank you for waiting for you for a long time, please..."
