Xuan Jieyu was growling while glaring at Xiao He with bloodshot eyes, looking as if she wished to tear him apart and devour him.
Xiao He's originally gloomy face became even more terrified when he saw Xuan Jieyu's crazy look.
Chu Qing, on the other hand, was coldly eyeing Xuan Jieyu's actions from the side, with a shifting look in her eyes.
Xuan Jieyu seemed to have suddenly lost her wits.
There was truly no sign of clarity in her eyes.
The emperor also coldly watched everything that was happening. Even if Xuan Jieyu really did something to Xiao He, there wouldn't be the slightest ripple in his heart.
He had already regarded these two as doomed people.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has already returned. What about these two..." Wei Ying was the first to break the silence.
The summer night wind still carried a bit of coolness. He saw Chu Qing unconsciously tightening the sleeves of her robe.
It was time to end this show.
After hearing Wei Ying's words, the emperor looked at him without showing any emotion. Their eyes seemed to communicate something. Just as Chu Qing was wondering how these two had developed such a tacit understanding, the emperor finally spoke indifferently and gave his order:
"Deal with Xuan Jieyu according to the Empress Dowager's decision. Execute her by caning immediately. Expel Xuan Jieyu's maternal family from the capital. As for Xiao He..." At this point, the emperor's eyes showed even more killing intent, but he didn't want to kill Xiao He so easily.
"Cut off his legs and throw him into the mass grave twenty miles outside the capital. Let him fend for himself!"
Although Xiao He had been on guard against Xuan Jieyu's actions, his ears had been listening to what the emperor was saying.
When he heard that the emperor was going to break his legs and throw him into the mass grave, he immediately roared: "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this! The Empress Dowager won't allow it! I'm the Empress Dowager's younger brother!"
Seeing that he still couldn't recognize the reality even at this point, the emperor only looked down at him coldly and said in a chilling voice: "I am the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom."
Chu Qing saw the gloomy look on the emperor's face and felt a pang in her heart.
Would this grandson of hers become distorted under the oppression of the Empress Dowager?
Before she could continue thinking, the emperor continued: "By the way, Xiao He. Since you can't control your lust, you might as well just get rid of it."
When Xiao He heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, never expecting that the emperor would show no mercy to him at all.
The emperor didn't look at him anymore. He just looked at the tightly closed Changle Palace with a complicated look in his eyes, then turned around and left.
Seeing this, Wei Ying sighed helplessly.
Seeing the surprised look in Chu Qing's eyes, Wei Ying then slowly explained: "The emperor has entrusted this matter to me."
"???" Chu Qing was stunned.
After that, her feelings towards the emperor became even more complicated.
Forget it. Since it was like this, let Wei Ying do something for him.
Wei Ying thought Xiao He was too noisy and might wake the Empress Dowager up again. He really didn't want to argue with the Empress Dowager, so he knocked Xiao He unconscious with a straight palm without any expression on his face.
Then, he ordered Wei Yi and Wei Er to do as the emperor had commanded.
...
When Chu Qing returned to the mansion, she was already exhausted. But when she felt the weight on the side of the bed in a daze, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
All her drowsiness vanished instantly.
Seemingly sensing her uneasiness, the other person said in a deep voice: "Qingqing?"
Chu Qing's expression was extremely complicated at this moment.
She had almost forgotten... what the little one had said to her during the day.
Recently... something would happen between her and Wei Ying...
But how soon was "recently"?
Could it be... today?
Chu Qing silently reached out her hand to cover her face. Sure enough, her old face was as hot as if she was sick.
Fortunately, Wei Ying had already extinguished the lamp. Otherwise, seeing her blushing face, he would surely ask her stupidly again.
Just as Chu Qing was secretly glad for the darkness, she suddenly heard a strange noise.
Then... it seemed that she saw... light through her fingers?
Light?
Chu Qing quickly removed her hand from her face. Sure enough, that guy Wei Ying had lit the lamp again!
Then, she met Wei Ying's eyes.
That guy was looking at her with slightly furrowed brows: "Qingqing, did you catch a cold tonight? Why is your face so red?"
Chu Qing bit her lower lip tightly and didn't want to say a word.
In her previous life, she must have done something to this brat!
He was thinking of all kinds of ways to torture her!
And every time it was what she was afraid of that he would do!
Every single time!
Just as Chu Qing was silently complaining in her heart, Wei Ying's face suddenly appeared above hers.
???
Right! She had said so! Whatever she was afraid of, that guy would do!
The more embarrassed she felt at this moment, the more embarrassing things he could do!
She was already having wild thoughts about all sorts of things, and Wei Ying was getting closer and closer to her!
At this moment, the other person was supporting his hands on both sides of her, and his jade-like face was almost touching hers.
Chu Qing's face undoubtedly became even redder.
Seeing Chu Qing turn her face away, Wei Ying chuckled softly and said, "Is Qingqing shy?"
Chu Qing held her breath and gave a soft snort without saying a word.
Fine. She was just shy.
Seeing this, the smile in Wei Ying's eyes deepened, and he gradually moved closer to her.
Then... Chu Qing felt a warmth on her lips.
She closed her eyes shyly.
After feeling Chu Qing's somewhat disordered breath, Wei Ying's eyes darkened. Originally, he just wanted to give her a simple kiss, but unexpectedly, he couldn't stop himself.
His hand involuntarily wrapped around Chu Qing's waist. The soft touch from her waist spread from his fingertips, making his body tremble.
Chu Qing only felt that Wei Ying suddenly deepened the kiss, and she began to be gradually conquered by him.
At this moment, Wei Ying was burning her like fire.
It was over, it was over, it was over!
Chu Qing's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly. She might be... tonight.
"Master!" Wei Yi's voice suddenly cut through the charming atmosphere like a long sword.
Chu Qing's originally blurred eyes gradually cleared, and then she gently pushed Wei Ying.
Wei Ying, who had been interrupted, had a very ugly face, and his tone naturally carried a coldness: "What is it?"
The people outside didn't know what had happened inside the room. Although they were surprised that the master's tone was as if he wanted to kill someone, they still dutifully continued:
"The third princess of Xiliang is missing!"
