Chapter 222: Concubine Selection (4)
Yesterday, corpses were carried out of the palace one by one, piled up into a mountain outside the city, and all were burned. That scene makes me feel cold all over whenever I think of the prince.
“Your Highness, the Fourth Prince keeps scolding me. I, your humble servant, can do nothing about it!” The Minister of Justice came out hurriedly and knelt down in fear and trepidation.
"You are a traitor, and you let him insult the prince. Don't you know how to do your job?" Situ Yao shouted with a cold face.
“But, but he is a prince. I dare not…” The Minister of Justice was terrified. If he tortured a prince, and the Fourth Prince was rehabilitated in the future, would he still have a way to survive?
Wei Ning walked down the stairs , and darkness gradually engulfed her figure. A row of torches inside illuminated various faces, all of whom were imprisoned in the prison.
"My father has issued an order to demote Mu Tianhua to a commoner, and even deprive him of his surname. He is not allowed to have the surname Mu, and his name must be changed to 'Shaerhei'. From now on, he will have nothing to do with the Qinglong Empire!"
Wei Ning's voice was not loud, but it was infinitely amplified in the dark cell and reached everyone's ears.
Mu Tianhua shouted, "Impossible! Father would never do this to me! I am his most outstanding son, and he said that the throne would be mine in the future! Mu Qingning, you are the one who forged the imperial decree, you are so bold!"
It turns out there is this layer. The emperor secretly agreed to pass the throne to Mu Tianhua. No wonder they had no scruples at all when they bullied the prince.
"You plotted a rebellion, and the emperor hates you to the core. He has expelled you from the royal family. It is already a blessing from heaven that he did not kill you!" Wei Ning walked away leisurely, with a noble demeanor, dressed in a crescent-white dress, his figure was like jade, and he seemed to be glowing.
She paused outside Mu Tianhua's cell, turned around, and looked at Mu Tianhua with a sarcastic smile as he was baring his fangs and claws, trying to tear her into pieces.
"You have dreamed of the throne all your life, but unfortunately you will never even get close to it in this life! From now on, you will be reduced to a lowly pig or dog. As for the throne, haha, this prince will show mercy and let you dream of being an emperor for the rest of your life."
"You! I will kill you! You have placed my father under house arrest. You are so bold that anyone can kill you! Someone, come and catch this thief!" Mu Tianhua's eyes were bulging out, red and bloodshot, and he was completely crazy.
But who would obey him if he shouted like that?
Not to mention that he is now a commoner and has no qualifications. The prince controls the entire Qinglong Empire at this time, and even the regent has been defeated. Who dares to touch her now?
"Since he likes to curse so much, cut off his tongue, cook it and let him eat it himself." Wei Ning sneered and looked at the tall Mu Tianhua. "By the way, I heard that you like to imitate the Regent and hold the sword in your left hand. Very good, stomp his left hand and hang it in the prison for him to see every day!"
He turned pale with fear at her words. Even the Minister of Justice, who had always been in charge of prisons and was accustomed to torture, was horrified and speechless.
"Also, chop off his two legs, so that he can only crawl on the ground like a pig and a dog from now on." Wei Ning stared at Mu Tianhua's pale and terrified face, and said kindly: "Fourth brother, don't seek death. As the saying goes, if you live, you will never run out of firewood. If you die, everything will be over. If you live, who knows one day the emperor will figure it out and let you go and make you the emperor!"
Pushing him into despair and then giving him a little bit of hope is a torment that not everyone can endure.
"Yes, father will definitely kill you, you traitor!" Mu Tianhua continued shouting.
