The room was shrouded in darkness, filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Realizing something was wrong, he shouted, "Lord! Consort Yun!" However, the silence of the grand hall echoed only his voice...
Azure Dragon pulled out a match and searched carefully. The normally resolute man was now drenched in sweat. Just then, his eyes lit up as he rushed straight into the bedroom.
Sure enough, the people he was looking for were all there.
They lay quietly on the ground, amidst a vivid river of blood.
Azure Dragon's legs gave way, and he knelt down. His face was etched with grief and disbelief...
This time, the Emperor was truly in critical condition.
But it remained unknown to others.
He merely claimed to be unwell and took a seven-day leave from court. This led to widespread dissatisfaction among the people, who felt that the Emperor was trying to evade executing Consort Yun by doing so.
In an instant, the Emperor's authority had vanished.
There were even those who began to protest at the Palace Gate!
Inside the Imperial Prosperity Hall...
Azure Dragon looked at the person lying on the bed and anxiously asked, “Lord, how is the situation?”
Luo Qingyun shook his head, “He won’t die, but his wounds are very deep, and they keep stabbing the same spot! He has lost too much blood; I don’t know when he will wake up!”
“Then… what about Consort Yun?”
Luo Qingyun clicked his tongue, “The situation is about the same. Both of them are barely hanging on! What do you think happened? Did they commit suicide together?”
Azure Dragon glared at him disapprovingly, “Don’t joke around in this situation! I don’t think Lord is the type to commit suicide!”
“I think so too!” Luo Qingyun nodded in agreement.
“Then the only possibility is that Xiao Yun'er did it! And then she committed suicide!” he continued, frowning. What would happen to these two enemies if they were saved?
“Lord Luo, I have an idea!” Azure Dragon, who was usually not very talkative, spoke up again. He looked at the pale-faced woman on the bed, a pang of pain crossing his heart.
“Let’s hear it!” Luo Qingyun raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with confusion.
The next day after the emperor's morning court session, more and more people gathered.
Finally, the emperor's trusted aide Luo Qingyun stepped forward. Holding the Imperial Edict, he arrived at the Palace Gate. The crowd had almost reached a boiling point; upon seeing him, they shouted loudly, “Please have the emperor issue a decree to kill the demon consort!”
“Yes, kill the demon consort!”
Luo Qingyun furrowed his brows and unfolded the Imperial Edict, reading aloud, "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Today, our dynasty has encountered a rare Freak, who is also my Consort. I am deeply pained by this. After much consideration, I hereby order that Freak Gu Shi Yun Niang be executed by fire at three o'clock this afternoon! This is my decree!"
The people present were stunned for a few seconds before erupting into cheers.
"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor is wise!"
The enthusiastic cheers echoed endlessly.
Luo Qingyun coldly watched as a figure in the crowd quietly slipped away, a smile curling at the corners of his lips.
The execution was held in the Imperial Garden, and that day, everyone in the palace came to witness it.
The cross was surrounded by piles of wooden branches, and Gu Yuniang was bound to it, crying out and struggling incessantly.
"Execute!" Eunuch Xu Xun commanded, and several members of the Imperial Forest Army threw torches onto the pyre.
The roaring flames quickly spread, and soon Gu Yuniang's figure was engulfed in the fire. Those present were horrified; Consort Yun's expression of despair and terror, along with the peach blossom on her forehead symbolizing her status as a Freak, gradually faded from view.
The sky above was stained blood red by the flames.
Large patches of brilliant crimson were shocking to behold.
In just a few days, this was the second fire in the Imperial Palace!
Dead, yet it was a whole family.
Beside him, Luo Qingyun's eyes were even slightly moist.
Then, the corpse of Ugly Girl was brought up. The body was already somewhat decayed, and a foul odor filled the air, causing those present to quickly step back. The person carrying her disdainfully tossed her body directly into the flames.
Due to a slight misalignment, her face remained exposed outside the flames.
This made it even more eerie, a pale, grayish face staring at the crowd. Her body was slowly charring...
The execution by fire had been completed in front of everyone.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and in the end, only the fire continued to burn tirelessly.
Now, only one man stood dazed in front of everyone, staring intently at the corpse in the flames. The human skin mask on Ugly Girl's face began to peel away due to the heat of the fire, revealing her true face underneath.
The man's gaze was perfectly level with that face. He couldn't believe his eyes; the person he had been searching for was right beneath his nose.
But upon their reunion, they were already separated by life and death.
He wanted to laugh but couldn't.
He wanted to cry but found himself unable to do so.
He just stood there foolishly, at a loss. It wasn't until that face became indistinct, turning to ashes...
"San Wangye, what's wrong with you?" The leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Mo Ting, passed by with a couple of people and curiously approached to ask.
This San Wangye was truly strange, staring blankly as if mesmerized by the sight of someone burning to death!
Thinking about Consort Yun's death made his mood infinitely better; he couldn't wait to tell Yunxin the news! She would surely be very happy to hear it!
Tian Fei Nuo slightly regained his senses, and his eyes were surprisingly misty. He quickly turned his face away and coldly said, "I’m fine. You can go about your business!"
Mo Ting didn't press further and nodded before leaving.
Tian Fei Nuo stood alone, staring at the dark ashes, his hands tightly clenched together. He gripped so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white.
A desolate killing intent filled Handsome's face.
He gazed at everything before him, his pupils shifting. One day, he would make those who harmed Ronghua today pay for it with their lives!
"I heard the Emperor has been unwell for a while now; Lord Luo is handling state affairs! Shouldn't we go check on the Emperor?" Several Consorts chattered in the Imperial Garden.
"How dare you discuss state affairs here!" At that moment, an angry shout rang out. The women turned around and quickly bowed, "Li Consort Lucky!"
Consort Li was dressed in splendid attire, heavily made up, looking quite pleased with herself.
She was in a very good mood; the Queen was dead, Consort Yun was dead, and the Empress Dowager could no longer be proud. This harem was now her domain!
Just thinking about the scene when she would be crowned made her smile uncontrollably.
What if Gu Yuniang was favored again? In the end, she still met a tragic fate.
"You all should take a good look at what kind of people you are; how dare you wish to see the Emperor! Let me tell you, as long as I am here, you can forget about seeing the Emperor!" Consort Li laughed wildly, speaking with utmost arrogance.
The concubines present were so frightened that they hurriedly agreed with her, which only made Consort Li feel more pleased!
Imperial Prosperity Hall.
Consort Li stood at the entrance with her head held high and said sternly to Azure Dragon, "Make them step aside; I want to go in and see the Emperor!"
"The Emperor has decreed that he will not see anyone!" Azure Dragon said coldly, a flicker of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"How dare you, servant! Do you know who I am?" Consort Li was furious and began to scold him, pointing her finger at Azure Dragon's nose.
Azure Dragon's gaze grew colder. He had a history with Consort Li, stemming from an incident involving Gu Yuniang. Remembering this, he scoffed coldly, "What do I care who you are? In this world, I only listen to the Emperor! So you have no right to call me a servant!"
"You... you..." Consort Li was left speechless with anger. Looking at Azure Dragon, who was utterly arrogant, she suddenly had an epiphany.
