Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!” cried out one of the warriors in black armor as he placed the blade of his sword against his own throat. Then he moved the blade forward in a slash, sending a shocking stream of blood through the air. The smell of blood slowly spread across the hall.

“Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!” shouted another warrior very shortly after, taking out his sword and committing suicide on the spot as well.

Clatter, clatter, clatter. The sound of swords falling to the ground rang out as warrior after warrior crumbled.

Upon seeing Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Baili Han appear, everyone knew that this rebellion plan had utterly failed. The emperor’s words were undoubtedly the greatest amount of grace he would show to them in this situation.

Blood flowed across a hall as freely as if from a small spring, dyeing the entire ground a deep red. The entire main hall was permeated with a thick bloody stench, yet the emperor’s expression remained unchanged throughout. He remained as still, calm and majestic as he was before.

The first prince looked at his subordinates committing suicide one after another in a daze. He was completely stunned. It turns out that this was the might of an emperor. A mere sentence was able to make everyone rebelling against him give up and commit suicide on the spot. A sense of helplessness instantly rushed through the first prince’s body and his face turned a deathly ashen. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Ling Chuxi felt her heart clench when she saw what was happening before her. So this was the palace. And this was the path of an emperor. It was both majestic and tragic at the same time. Everyone walked different paths in this life. Since these warriors had chosen to rebel alongside the first prince, they paid an equivalent price for their choice. Ling Chuxi sighed lightly in her heart, turning her head aside, unable to bear watching the tragedy before her where blood flowed like a river any longer.

“Master… You’re all right. I knew it wouldn’t be so easy for them to do anything to you. It’s great that you’re fine, it really is. I was so scared just now. I thought I would never see you again…” said the fifth princess as a smile of delight arose from the depths of her heart and appeared on her tear-stricken face. She flung her arms out and leapt into Ling Chuxi’s embrace, beginning to bawl again before she could complete another sentence.

The Wu Feng Hall experts exchanged looks before suddenly turning around and making their swift escapes by rushing towards the outside of the palace.

Ling Chuxi and the rest were just about to go after them when they heard the emperor’s deep voice tell them, “Let them go. They are unimportant.”

Ling Chuxi and the rest were slightly stunned, but they reacted accordingly quickly. The emperor was not willing to fall out with Ding Lin Country. After all, Nan Xia Country did not have the ability to go to war with Ding Lin Country. If there was a falling out, there wouldn’t be the least bit of benefit to it.

Was this the path of being an emperor? To be able to rise yet bend, to be strong yet yield at the same time. Thinking about the might of a single sentence spoken by the emperor causing numerous death warriors to kill themselves on the spot and his calmness or heartlessness even when all of his children’s lives were hanging by a thread, Ling Chuxi felt an extreme respect for him, yet her heart was secretly chilled.

After that, a Forbidden Army troop entered the main hall and surrounded the first prince. By now, the first prince was in a daze and did not even react.

“Take him away. Await my orders,” the emperor instructed one of his generals indifferently.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Then, a few generals gathered to drag the first prince away themselves. As the first prince was also at Battle Qi Level 9, nobody dared to be careless.

Ling Chuxi knew that the emperor was taking into account the royal family’s reputation, therefore was unwilling to deal with the first prince in front of everyone. However, there was no need to guess at how things would end for the first prince. Patricide and fratricide. The first prince clearly intended to commit such crimes earlier on. The emperor definitely would not forgive him easily.

“I do not hope for too many people to know about this matter,” said to the emperor to the rest of the princes and princesses present in a deep voice. Family disputes were not to be made known to others. There was no need to mention that this applied even more so to the royal family. As for Ling Chuxi and the rest, the emperor was not too worried about them. All who were able to become strong cultivators in the realm of Great Fulfilment were smart people, so naturally there was no need for him to say more.
