Shang Xiche hadn't seen Qin Weiyang for some time. When he entered the room and saw her disheveled and battered state, he felt a wave of nausea, remembering that he had once been intimate with this woman.
The man who assaulted Qin Weiyang was just an ordinary member of the Imperial Guard.
Although Shang Xiche didn't like Qin Weiyang, he understood her habits. Even if she wanted to have an affair, she wouldn't choose such a useless nobody.
So he dismissed everyone, leaving only Eunuch De and Gao Chengwei to guard the door.
"What's going on?" Shang Xiche sat upright in his chair, far away from the bed, making no attempt to hide his disgust.
"It's the Ninth Prince. I've thought it through. If we let him grow stronger, he'll become a threat to the Emperor sooner or later. So I activated the Gu poison on him, but it seems Xiao Chen suppressed it. Therefore, the Ninth Prince sent this person to find me." Qin Weiyang knew that something like this had happened. In her current state, it was impossible for her to seek favor; she could only try to survive first.
"You've figured it out?" Shang Xiche sneered. "How come I heard that you were the one who sent his maid to deliver pastries to him, and not only did he confiscate them, he also beat up your maid?"
"Your Majesty, I swear on the life of the Twelfth Prince, if the Ninth Prince had eaten that pastry, he would have suffered a fate worse than death from this day forward. It's just a pity that this good thing was ruined by that jealous bandit," Qin Weiyang said breathlessly, gritting her teeth.
Shang Xiche stared intently at her expression and felt that she was not faking it.
Furthermore, it is said that a woman becomes compassionate when she becomes a mother, and since she can swear on her son's life, her words should be credible.
"I will not kill you, but you must eliminate the Ninth Prince for me within six months," Shang Xiche said coldly.
"Fine, but I have one condition," Qin Weiyang raised her face, a sinister smile appearing on her lips.
Shang Xiche then got a clear look at her face, only to see that it was covered with skull-like things of various sizes. He was immediately startled, but couldn't figure it out: "What are the conditions?"
Qin Weiyang gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty must first get rid of Xiao Chen for me. With Xiao Chen by the Ninth Prince's side, probably no poison or curse in this world can harm the Ninth Prince in the slightest. Xiao Chen cannot be allowed to live!"
In fact, Shang Xiche had already thought of this problem, but he didn't have a reason to take action against Xiao Chen for the time being.
Qin Weiyang's request at this moment was exactly what Shang Xiche wanted to hear.
"Yes, I will make the arrangements immediately," Shang Xiche agreed, rising and leaving without looking back. His authoritative and ruthless voice echoed from outside the door: "The guards who offended Consort Qin will be executed by slow slicing, and their entire families will be implicated; all those around Consort Qin will be executed, and two more will be assigned to serve her. Anyone who speaks ill of her in the future will have their eyes gouged out and their tongues cut out, and their entire family will be exterminated!"
Ji Fengyao peered out the window for a long time, but the scene of the emperor angrily beheading Consort Qin did not materialize.
Finally, we heard the emperor personally issue a gag order to everyone in order to protect Qin Weiyang, which is just too much.
"Miss, could it be that Consort Qin has also bewitched the Emperor? Otherwise, how could the Emperor, who has been cuckolded like this, still hold back and not chop off Consort Qin's dog head?" Xi Que was also indignant.
"Given her personality, how could she not try to harm the emperor? That's fine too. From today onwards, every day she lives will be free of suffering. Let her endure the pain," Ji Fengyao said coldly.
"Alright then, it's still early, I'll go back to sleep," the magpie said carelessly, shaking its head and leaving.
Ji Fengyao looked back at the empty bed, opened her mouth to look at Xi Que's back, but decided against it.
