"Do you really think that you can escape death with your status?"
Emperor Yang Zhou's gaze was extremely cold. He looked at the Empress Dowager in front of him. "I already gave you the status befitting of you. But since you didn't seem to appreciate it, I don't think I need to be so kind."
"Your Majesty, I…"
"As your punishment, you shall serve in Lui Shang Temple for the next ten years. It should be a good punishment, don't you think so, Qian Xing?"
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. Asking a former Imperial Concubine to go to the temple and become a nun was quite savage. From having luxury to bath in money every single day to one that she might not even have any rest from doing work from time to time.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Empress Dowager Hai shook her head. "No, Your Majesty, that wouldn't be good and I…"
"If you displease me any further, I would not mind sending you to meet with Imperial Father faster. While I can't say it's the best course of action, it's still within my means to do things." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Empress Dowager Hai as he walked forward. "Which one would you like more, Empress Dowager Hai?"
"I prefer having to just slash her rather than escorting her to the temple." Long Qian Xing sighed. "Cleaning up the bloodstains are not that difficult to do, isn't it?"
Despite saying such thing, Long Qian Xing was still smiling like how a gentleman would. It was the same kind smile that he would wear on his face on daily basis. However, it was precisely this same smile that drove Empress Dowager Hai crazy.
'Commander is doing this again…'
'Whoever say Young Commander Long's smile is nice must be out of his mind.'
'Gosh, I pity whoever is given a smile by Commander…'
The soldiers, who were fighting just now, were watching with pitiable expression at Empress Dowager Hai. They had been staying by their commander's side for the past few months and every single time… all the new soldiers were fooled by his kind smile, thinking that he was a kind person.
It was only after some time did they realize just how much of a devil this commander could be.
"What's your decision, Empress Dowager Hai?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked.
"I'll follow your decision, Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Hai felt her heart was bleeding when she had to follow Emperor Yang Zhou's decision. "But I would like to plead for my son's life. He's… just blinded by temporary greed and didn't think things straight. Would you be as kind to let him alive."
"That would depend on how he answers my question." Emperor Yang Zhou didn't even spare another look at Empress Dowager Hai. "General Nan, I'll leave her in your care. Qian Xing, follow me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Wait, I want to follow too!" Nan Luo ran to their direction. The other officials were handled by the soldiers, so there was practically nothing he needed to do right now. Rather than waiting here with this thick powdered woman, he would rather follow behind Emperor Yang Zhou.
Long Qian Xing passed a look at Nan Luo. "Are you sure that you want to follow us?"
"Where are you going?"
