Before the girl could beg for mercy, the guard beside the Emperor of Chu stepped forward and pulled out a knife.
The girl's old father and mother immediately rushed out and cried for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare her."
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault for not teaching my daughter well. If you want to punish me, punish me!"
"Yuan Niang—wuwu—Your Majesty, please spare her. She is still young. How can she get married after her mouth is cut off..."
The Emperor of Chu remained expressionless, still holding his head in his hands, and said coldly, "Noisy."
"Since you are so reluctant to let her go, why don't you accompany her in her punishment? Wouldn't that mean you can share the joys and sorrows?"
Screams rang out one after another.
The lips of the three members of the family were cut off and thrown to the black dog beside them.
Que'er couldn't bear to watch it at all.
Li Qingluo also turned away his eyes.
Even though the Seventh Princess had seen a lot since childhood, a look of sadness appeared on her face at this moment.
Until the nanny beside him whispered, "This old man Wei seems to have been frequently visiting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's residence recently..."
Zong Zheng Xingyao glanced at Li Qingluo.
Noticing her timid and unwilling appearance, he whispered to the nanny, "Don't talk nonsense!"
After what just happened, who would dare to lose their composure?
Even though everyone was scared to death, they pretended to be happy on the surface.
The King of Chu was not lustful.
Therefore, he was only surrounded by a few maids who massaged his legs, and had no beautiful woman in his arms.
Li Qingluo had been kneeling quietly beside the Seventh Princess, drinking a glass of wine from time to time, but waiting silently in his heart.
The Emperor of Chu seemed cruel and merciless, but he had just punished the Fourth Prince when he executed the Crown Prince's men in front of him.
It was obvious that the queen's complexion was no longer as rosy as before.
The prince was even more uneasy.
Li Qingluo took everything in and thought to himself: Don't worry, soon something new will happen to make you and your son happy again.
Just as he was thinking about it, a group of guards came hurriedly.
Holding a black box in his hands, he knelt before the Emperor of Chu and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, just now, when I was passing by the Eastern Palace, an old maid came out holding this box. She said she wanted to report the Crown Prince for using witchcraft to kill people."
"Your Majesty, please review this."
Witchcraft?
In the entire Great Chu Dynasty, this has long been a secret that has been strictly prohibited but never brought to the surface!
Unexpectedly, this happened in the Prince’s East Palace?
Moreover, is this going to expose the prince to the public?
Everyone stretched their necks curiously.
The prince was still confused, and when the queen looked at him anxiously, he just shook his head silently.
When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately sat up straight with a gloomy face.
He opened the black box, revealing a little man inside that was pierced by needles.
After seeing the birth date clearly, the face of the Emperor of Chu changed drastically.
"Someone come!"
"Catch the prince for me!"
The King of Chu was furious and smashed the villain on the prince's head.
"What else do you have to say?"
"I have already named you Crown Prince. What on earth are you dissatisfied with?"
"You think I've lived too long and haven't made room for you yet, so you're anxious to use this witchcraft to curse my lifespan, right?"
"brute!"
"I will kill you today—"
The King of Chu drew his sword and was about to stab the frightened prince.
The queen rushed over and hugged the sword.
"emperor--"
"Our prince must have been wronged!"
"He has been kind since childhood, unwilling to even step on an ant. He has always been respectful, loving, and filial to Your Majesty. How could he have done such a heinous act?"
"Your Majesty, someone must be trying to frame the prince!"
"Please spare his life and at least give my son a chance to prove his innocence!"
The queen was so frightened that she burst into tears and screamed.
His hands were cut and bleeding, but he still held on tightly and didn't dare to let go.
Seeing her like this, the Emperor of Chu thought of his mother again.
Naturally, he would not have any feelings for the queen.
It’s just because she is the legitimate wife.
And his own mother was once the legitimate wife who suffered a lot of grievances.
That's why we give her more patience and respect.
At this moment, looking at the frightened prince and the panicked queen, the Emperor of Chu finally suppressed his emotions and calmed down.
"check!"
Soon, the nanny was caught and taken to the Snow Platform.
The nanny saw that the Queen had already rushed over before the prince could say anything.
"Why is it you?"
"Madame Huang, you are the prince's wet nurse—the prince has always treated you as a family member, and you actually betrayed him!"
"Who is it? Who ordered you to frame the prince?"
The queen roared at the top of her lungs, wishing she could go over and strangle the nanny to death herself.
Nanny Huang didn't explain anything.
There was only a shrill cry: "Your Highness, it is this old slave who has let you down——"
After saying that, she slammed hard into the rock beside her.
Her entire old face was covered in blood, and when the prince picked her up crying, she was already dead.
He could only speak incoherently: "Someone has taken the lives of this old slave... and my entire family..."
"I must... frame His Highness today..."
"This old slave is neither human nor human..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Your Highness, you have never done..."
"I know..."
After saying this, Nanny Huang died with her eyes wide open.
This incident happened so suddenly and violently that everyone who saw it was stunned.
