"Yes, Miss!" Xi Que always obeyed Ji Fengyao's orders without question.
She handed Princess Zhaoping over to Bailu to help her up, then walked forward, cracking her short whip.
The short whip cracked through the air with a piercing sound that sent chills down one's spine!
Simeng and Siyi were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground and tried to back away, but they couldn't move!
The two men, their faces deathly pale, were screaming incoherently:
"No, no, no...you can't kill us!"
"Yes! We are the Empress Dowager's people, you have no right to punish us!"
Before the magpie-man even arrived, the whip came first, accompanied by a look of pity for the mentally challenged: "No right to dispose of them, how naive! Don't worry too much about the Empress Dowager. Without Princess Zhaoping as your talisman, that old hag will soon be joining you!"
What!
Princess Zhaoping is the Empress Dowager's protector?!
Simeng and Siyi were so shocked that they forgot the pain of the whip striking their bodies.
Even Granny Zheng was dumbfounded.
This world is truly surreal:
They never imagined that it wasn't the Empress Dowager who had protected Princess Zhaoping;
It was Princess Zhaoping, that weak and useless daughter of a lowly slave, who protected the Empress Dowager!
No wonder Princess Zhaoping kept asking these bandits for help.
The bandits were so decisive in dealing with them, but instead of killing them on the spot.
It turns out that the bandits weren't worried about anything else; they probably wanted to wait until Princess Zhaoping woke up so they could deal with them themselves!
Thinking about it this way,
A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of Granny Zheng, Simeng, and Siyi: that lowly slave's daughter was always like a lump of dough, easily manipulated and coaxed with just a few words.
If they just act pitiful and say a few nice words, she will definitely soften her heart and spare their lives, given the weakness of that lowly slave girl!
Simeng and Siyi gritted their teeth and endured the pain of having their martial arts skills and limbs crippled;
A fierce glint flashed in their eyes!
If they ever manage to escape alive, they will definitely urge the Empress Dowager to wipe out this whole band of bandits!
Once this gang of bandits falls into the hands of the Empress Dowager, they will personally tear them to pieces to avenge their family!
Finally, Xi Que severed Si Yi's tendons. Seeing the hatred in Si Yi's eyes that she couldn't hide, he patted Si Yi's face with the bloodstained dagger and laughed with a thuggish air: "What, you're not convinced? Do you hate me and my young lady to the core now, wishing you could skin us alive, pull out our tendons, and grind our bones to dust?"
Siyi gritted her teeth: "...No...I wouldn't dare!"
"You don't even believe what you're saying yourself, do you?" Xi Que toyed with the bloodstained dagger between two fingers, looking both wicked and roguish. "It doesn't matter, hate us all. I love seeing you hate us so much that your teeth itch, yet you're helpless against us."
After saying that, Xique turned around and patted Simeng, who had similar downcast eyes and was hiding her hatred, with the dagger. She smiled coldly and said, "Our young lady once said that you should still have dreams, in case they come true. Although you will never achieve them in this lifetime, it's better to numb yourselves and wait for death. Don't you think so?"
Simeng: "..."
Siyi: "..."
Damn it, that damned bandit!
Granny Zheng was stunned by the terrible state of Simeng and Siyi. Her wounds, which had not yet healed, seemed to burst open again in fright, and she felt a sharp pain as if she were being pricked by needles and knives.
She rolled off the wheelchair onto the ground like a shrunken rag, then quickly crawled to Ji Fengyao's feet, trying to grab them: "Princess Chonghe, Princess, as long as you spare this old servant's life, this old servant will follow your lead from now on!"
