"Have some backbone." Emperor Bei Ling took back the dice, turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Mo Chen, tell me, how should we deal with her?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Zhan, who was looking livid, and sneered in his heart, "Xiao Zhan, oh Xiao Zhan, your confidante is about to be in trouble! I really want to know how you will react! Don't let me down."

"Hey, Father, I heard there's a super exciting punishment game in Southern Xinjiang. It makes the person step barefoot on hot charcoal.

The red charcoal slowly roasted the tender skin, and the wisps of smoke coming out of the feet were just like a fairyland. The people of Southern Xinjiang called it "stepping on the blue sky". This punishment is specially used to deal with disobedient people like Miss Zhongqing. I wonder if the emperor is interested in watching it live?"

When Xiao Yan said this, he looked relaxed, as if he was not describing some cruel punishment, but rather appreciating the beautiful moonlight.

When Zhong Qing, who was standing next to him, heard this, his face turned pale!

Imagine walking barefoot on hot charcoal, your skin and flesh being roasted into charcoal by the high temperature. Most people cannot bear that kind of pain!

Just thinking about it made her tremble with fear!

She wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't!

Because if she did that, His Royal Highness Prince Gong would definitely be implicated!

His Royal Highness Prince Gong is not only her brother's good friend, but also her benefactor. She must not implicate him!

"Your Majesty, a monarch should rule the world with benevolence. Miss Zhong Qing is just a weak woman, there is no need for such a horrible punishment."

Ye Zhaoyi was the first to speak out. What she hated most was men torturing women. Since Zhong Qing entered the venue, Xiao Yan had never stopped insulting her, which made Ye Zhaoyi particularly disgusted. When he proposed to use such a cruel method to deal with a weak woman, it completely aroused her anger!

"Yes, Your Majesty, Miss Zhong Qing looks only a little older than Eleven. I really can't bear to see her suffer such torture." Sun Xiurong also joined the ranks of those pleading for Zhong Qing.

She did this for no other reason than sympathy for the poor woman.

The country was destroyed, the family was broken up, and she ended up in a brothel, which was already sad enough. Now she was publicly humiliated by Xiao Yan, which was really too miserable.

"It's good that the two ladies are kind-hearted, but don't forget that this woman is not an ordinary weak woman. She is from Linglong Pavilion, and Linglong Pavilion is the boss of the underworld forces and the target of the court. In other words, this woman is the enemy of the court. How can it be called cruel to torture an enemy?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan had already ordered people to burn the charcoal vigorously, spread it on the ground, and then pushed Zhong Qing towards the pile of charcoal!

Boo!

The skin was instantly scorched by the blazing coals, and thick black smoke rose straight into the sky! It was like the flames from hell!

Zhong Qing was in so much pain that her heart-wrenching screams echoed in the venue!

“How cruel!”

On the women's side, the royal daughters, led by Lu Linyi and Xiao Gui, all turned their heads away, not daring to look directly at the horrific scene.

Suddenly, Jiang Xue stood up abruptly, rushed forward with Xiaochun, and snatched Zhong Qing from Xiao Yan!

"Princess Gong, do you know what you are doing?"

Xiao Yan was almost knocked down by Xiaochun's sudden collision. His foot slipped and he stepped right into the pile of burning charcoal!

The corners of his clothes were instantly licked by the flames, but fortunately the servants around him reacted quickly and put out the fire!

"The princess..."

Zhong Qing's soles had been damaged beyond recognition, with blood mixed with black liquid dripping onto the ground, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Sweat was pouring down her body, soaking all her clothes. She called out to Jiang Xue in a weak voice.

"Don't talk. Eat this. It will help you relieve some of the pain."

Jiang Xue fed her a painkiller pill. Although it couldn't completely eliminate the pain, it at least made Zhong Qing feel better.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, you are so cruel to a woman who is so weak, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Zhong Qing is a rare friend that Jiang Xue has met in this world. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they have similar interests and regard each other as rare soulmates.

How could Jiang Xue sit idly by and watch Zhong Qing suffer?

"Blush? Haha! A traitor from Linglong Pavilion! Why should I blush? Speaking of which, Princess Gong is protecting this traitor so much, are you two in the same group?"

Xiao Yan sneered: "Tsk tsk, if you think about it carefully, it can explain why Princess Gong went to Tingfeng Tower to treat this bitch in public!

If a princess had not been in cahoots with this bitch, how could she disregard her reputation and run to such a filthy place! "

Xiao Yan's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Qing Feng's heart directly!

It turned out that the figure he saw outside Tingfeng Tower was actually someone from Prince Duan's Mansion!

Qing Feng now recalled the two people he had chased before, and suddenly he understood.

"What happened?" Xiao Zhan noticed Qing Feng's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

Judging from his appearance, it seems that there is something being hidden from him.

"Reporting to Your Highness, when we went to Tingfeng Tower to rescue Miss Zhong, I discovered two suspicious figures watching us, so I went to chase them. But when I arrived, I found that the two men had already died."

Because everyone was dead, there were no other clues left at the scene, and everything was calm afterwards, Qing Feng thought that the matter was over, so he didn't pay too much attention to it and didn't report it to Xiao Zhan.

Who would have thought that this matter would come out of Xiao Yan's mouth today! It was like a blow to the head, hitting the princess hard!

This was something Qingfeng never expected!

"Your Highness, it is my fault for failing to do my duty! I have caused trouble for the princess. Please punish me severely!"

Qing Feng looked remorseful and bowed his head to apologize to Xiao Zhan.

"Make note of this mistake first and come back to it later."

The most important thing right now is to not let Jiang Xue get implicated!

"Changle, what is your relationship with this girl?"

Emperor Bei Ling obviously believed what Xiao Yan said, and looked at Jiang Xue sharply.

Jiang Xue remained calm and left Zhong Qing to Xiaochun's care.

"Your Majesty, Miss Zhong and I became friends because of music, and we regard each other as soulmates and friends."

"Friend? So you admit that you are in cahoots with her? Father! The evidence is irrefutable that the Concubine Gong is colluding with the rebels. You must investigate carefully and order severe punishment!"

Xiao Yan was extremely impatient, wishing that Emperor Bei Ling would convict Jiang Xue immediately. As long as this woman died, Feng Qiyuan's Tieyun Army would be his possession!

Three hundred thousand Iron Cloud Army! With this kind of power, would he still be afraid of not being able to seize the throne?

In front of Xiao Yan's eyes, he seemed to see the black mass of Tieyun Army standing ready for battle, waiting for his order, and the magnificent dragon throne was not far away!
