Chapter 494: 2 UPHEAVAL
CHAPTER 494 (2): UPHEAVAL
Lord Zhu’s legs buckled under him. The news was that Prince Hao and His Majesty were inspecting the army barracks. I didn’t expect the soldiers stationed here to be Prince Hao’s 800 elite troops. This battalion is well-known for their might! I was really hitting a stone with an egg, trying to go up against a mighty force like that with my meagre power!
Su Xi-er didn’t make any further explanations as she ferociously turned her wrist, twisting Lord Zhu’s neck. Just like that, his breathing stopped, and his eyes rolled backwards, his body instantly collapsing to the ground. Witnessing their master being killed, the group of soldiers were at a loss of what to do.
Seeing that Lord Zhu had just been killed by Su Xi-er, Lord Qian was frightened to the point that his body stiffened, his eyes holding an empty dazed look. It appears that my death is inevitable.
Suddenly, a cold and deep male voice could be heard. “Your Majesty, throw Lord Qian into the Celestial Prison to serve as a deterrence to others and establish your might as an emperor.”
A tall man appeared in front of others, the moonlight covering his body making him appear even colder than usual.
Su Xi-er looked towards Lord Qian and softly chuckled. “Your Majesty, the new rules drawn up by the Chief Minister of Justice can be used on Lord Qian.”
“No, this humble subject doesn’t want that!” Lord Qian wished he could die on the spot as soon as he heard that.
Living would be worse than death if those were to be used on me!
At that thought, he immediately got up, closed his eyes, and dashed straight towards a tree trunk.
However, before he could finish this act of defiance, a pain shot through his knees and forced him to the ground. The soldiers behind him immediately sprinted forward to seize him.
Su Xi-er chuckled. “We can’t let him off that easily. Dying by smashing his head into a tree is too lenient of a punishment.”
I still haven’t forgotten that the Chief Imperial Censor was the first among all the officials to submit the petition! Throwing me into the Celestial Prison, banishing me from the Imperial Family, and exiling me were all things thought up by Lord Qian!
Back then, Lord Qian was very loyal to Yun Ruofeng, but what was the result? After the end of my previous life, Yun Ruofeng didn’t promote Lord Qian much either.
“Soldiers, send Lord Qian to the Celestial Prison tonight! This Emperor will personally interrogate him tomorrow before publicly announcing it on the noticeboard!” Ning Lianchen was exhibiting the disposition of an emperor as he spoke, and it wasn’t long before Lord Qian was dragged away..
