Chapter 262: Enjoy this excruciating pain
"Really?" At this moment, there was another fierce fighting outside. The people in the hall looked at each other again, not knowing what was going on.
Suddenly, a soldier ran into the hall in a panic, "Oh no, Princess, General Ghost led his troops to fight with our people, and our people are no match for them!"
Upon hearing this news, Ping Yi's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she murmured to herself: "Impossible, impossible, isn't General Minghun at the border? How could he appear in the palace? I can't fail, I won't fail!"
She couldn't accept the fact before her. She thought she had a sure win, but she didn't expect the situation to be reversed in an instant.
At this time, Chu Zixi turned her gaze to Zhuge Xiong and slowly said, "Zhuge Xiong, your son was killed by Ping Yi."
Zhuge Xiong's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, and his body shook involuntarily.
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Chu Zixi, with anger flashing in his eyes.
He shouted loudly: "Impossible! My son has always loved Princess Pingyi. How could Princess Pingyi kill my son?" His voice was filled with endless grief and anger, and his roar echoed throughout the hall.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on her face. She said softly: "Haha, you are so naive. Do you think love can conquer everything? Princess Pingyi can do anything for her own benefit."
After hearing this, Zhuge Xiong's face turned pale as paper. His eyes became empty and lifeless, as if he had lost all hope. He could not accept this cruel fact, and the pain in his heart surged up like a tide.
He turned around abruptly and glared fiercely at Princess Pingyi who was captured by the Dragon Guards.
His fists were clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood flowed down his fingers.
"Is what she said true?" Zhuge Xiong's voice was low and hoarse, revealing endless sadness and anger.
Princess Pingyi laughed contemptuously, her eyes full of disdain and indifference. She said indifferently: "Zhuge Lianting, that idiot, failed to kill this woman, and instead told her that I wanted to kill her. He deserves to die!"
Zhuge Xiong's body began to tremble violently, and his eyes were filled with despair and sadness.
He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him was so cruel and heartless. Both he and his son worked for her, but she killed her beloved son. His heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles and he was in excruciating pain.
Zhuge Xiong was so angry that his eyes turned red. "Lian Ting loves you so much, how could you kill him? I trust you so much that I mobilized troops to help you, but you actually killed my beloved son!"
At this time, General Minghun came in with his soldiers, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels have all been killed!"
Chu Tianlong nodded expressionlessly, "General Minghun, please stand up. You have done a great job in protecting the emperor, and I will reward you handsomely!"
General Minghun stood up and clapped his hands, then saw a group of soldiers dragging a man into the hall.
Fan Fu was thrown in the middle of the hall with injuries all over his body. He looked at Chu Tianlong with horror.
Fan Fu quickly knelt down and crawled towards Chu Tianlong, kowtowing repeatedly, "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life, all of this was instigated by Princess Pingyi."
Chu Tianlong's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Fan Fu, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, you don't know how to be loyal to the emperor and love the country. Instead, you collude with traitors and traitors to plot rebellion and usurp the throne. Your crime is unforgivable! Come, drag Fan Fu out of the Meridian Gate and behead him in public!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..." Fan Fu kept begging for mercy.
Chu Tianlong looked at Ping Yi again, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Ping Yi, you are so ambitious that you want to get your hands on the throne, and you even force the emperor to abdicate. You are so hateful! Come, take Ping Yi away and throw her into the prison to await your fate!"
"Zhuge Xiong, you secretly mobilized troops to enter the capital and colluded with Ping Yi to rebel. Come, throw Zhuge Xiong into the Sky Prison and wait for your punishment!"
When Zhuge Xiong heard this, his face turned extremely pale. He knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I was deceived by Princess Pingyi. Please have mercy on me!"
The emperor sneered and said, "Humph, you're begging for mercy now? What were you doing before?"
Chu Tianlong waved his sleeves, and immediately the guards took Zhuge Xiong away, followed by Zhuge Xiong's entire family.
The hall was still filled with Zhuge Xiong's pleas for mercy and the cries of his family members.
Ping Yi seemed very calm at this time. She raised her head and said proudly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want to kill me, then kill me!"
Seeing this, Chu Zixi walked down quickly and came to Ping Yi.
"Xier, come back," Chu Tianlong said.
Chu Zixi turned around and smiled, "It's okay, don't worry, father, she can't hurt me. I have a few words to say to Princess Pingyi."
Princess Pingyi looked at Chu Zixi coldly, "Hmph! It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I have nothing to say to you."
Chu Zixi sneered and leaned close to her ear, "You deserve it. You can't enjoy your good life, but you still want that position. Now you're a prisoner, right?"
Ping Yi stared at Chu Zixi with eyes wide open, eyes full of anger and unwillingness, "How dare you laugh at me?"
Chu Zixi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "On the way to Chu State, you sent people to kill me many times! In fact, if you hadn't sent people to kill me in the beginning, maybe I wouldn't have come to Chu State so soon."
After hearing this, Pingyi's face became even gloomier. She gritted her teeth and asked, "You...what do you mean by this?"
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes, "What do you think?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Zixi cleverly used her wide sleeves to block everyone's sight.
A thin silver needle suddenly appeared in her hand and quickly and accurately pierced into Pingyi's painful point.
Then, she waved her hand gently and sprinkled a powder called "Bone-Eroding Heart" on Pingyi's body.
Pingyi suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if her whole body was being bitten by millions of ants, and it was extremely painful.
She couldn't help but let out a scream, but soon realized that she couldn't make any sound. She could only stare at Chu Zixi with fierce eyes, hoping to express her inner anger and resentment through her eyes.
Chu Zixi whispered in Pingyi's ear: "Enjoy this excruciating pain slowly."
Then, she turned around gracefully and reported to the emperor: "Father, Princess Pingyi and I have finished talking."
Chu Tianlong waved his hand impatiently and said with disgust: "Take Pingyi away quickly and throw her into the prison. I don't want to see her face again."
"Yes," the guard beside him responded respectfully, and then stepped forward to take Princess Pingyi away from the scene.
A thrilling storm ended here, and the emperor waved his hand tiredly, signaling the ministers to leave the palace with their families.
