Chapter 33 His Thoughts
"How dare anyone interfere with my affairs!" The voice, cold as ice to the bone, suddenly rang out. It wasn't loud, but it made everyone in the grand hall tremble with fear. The voice was even more terrifying than a death warrant from hell, making each person feel as if they had been frozen from head to toe in an instant, their blood congealing in their veins.
Meng Fu Ying was also shocked and terrified, she had always known that this man was very dangerous and frightening, so she had always been avoiding him, but unexpectedly, some things couldn't be avoided.
At this moment, his expression made Meng Fu Ying's body stiffen involuntarily. When this man was angry, he was more terrifying than a demon.
Or he was a demon from the start.
The queen's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, after all she had just...
"Whoever interferes with the king's decision..." His lips moved again, and an even colder, more terrifying voice spread out word by word, but just as he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped.
The cup in hand shattered instantly.
"Lightly, a slap on the palm of fifty, heavily, kill." Su Feng knew his master all too well and quickly added, only his body seemed to tremble slightly.
"Are you going to hit yourself, or should I let someone else do it?" Xuan Yuan Ye slightly opened his own hands, and the foam in the cup fell down, making everyone shiver involuntarily. His words were even colder and more ruthless.
He kept his eyes downcast and didn't look at anyone, so it was unclear who he was talking to.
Queen? Meng Fu Ying?
The queen is after all the queen, and no matter how arrogant Xuan Yuan Ye is, he wouldn't let anyone hit the queen. So everyone automatically thought that person was Meng Cuo Ying, and all eyes, except for Xuan Yuan Ye and Su Feng, turned to Meng Cuo Ying.
Meng Fu Ying's body stiffened again, and her eyes also had a few more points of cold intent. Did he want her to slap herself in the face in public?
Did she interfere with his decision? She just tactfully rejected him. Doesn't she even have the right to refuse?
"Hmph, a cold smile, this is the imperial power of ancient times, what else can she hope for?"
"Fine, I'll exchange fifty slaps for my freedom, it's worth it." With a swift motion, his hand rose and slapped his own cheek without hesitation.
Fifty slaps in exchange for her freedom is indeed worth it.
"Is your guilt just fifty slaps?"
Just as her palm was about to land on her cheek, his icy voice came again. This time, even more ruthless and merciless.
Meng Fu Ying's hand froze, her eyes slightly puzzled as she looked at him, but he still had his head down, his emotions unreadable.
She found out that she really couldn't see through him, would never be able to see through him...
He said, "Are fifty slaps still not enough? Don't tell me you want to kill her?"
Meng Fu Ying's lips curled up into a cold smile once again. Alright, she'd see just what he could do to her.
In that icy and ruthless voice, there seemed to be a few hints of cold-blooded murderous intent, causing Meng Fu Ying's body to involuntarily shudder with a chill.
Those young ladies looked at Meng Fu Ying again with a few points of sympathy, and next, the Seventh Prince didn't know how to punish her?
The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt seemed to appear in the depths of his pupils...
Xuanyuan Ye's face remained icy cold, making it impossible for anyone to detect anything unusual.
Only Speedy, who was standing behind him, felt his hand hidden under his clothes tighten slightly.
Everyone was shocked again, so it seemed that what Xuan Yuan Ye said wasn't Meng Fu Ying, but the Empress?
He actually dared to hit the empress in this grand hall?
This is also too...
"Does the Emperor want to take action?" Xuan Yuan Ye's icy death warrant sounded again, and this time, everyone looked at the Empress in shock.
"Your Majesty, I... " The Empress's face was deathly pale, her body trembling uncontrollably as she turned to the Emperor beside her for guidance.
"The women in the harem should not interfere with men's affairs, but the empress actually interfered with the prince's decision. What punishment she deserves, the empress herself should be clear." The emperor's face suddenly sank, his icy voice even more ruthless than Xuan Yuan Ye.
This is a woman's sorrow, in ancient times, even if you are the high and mighty empress, what can you do?
In the past, when the empress entered the palace, her family's power was strong, and she also received the emperor's favor, so it was naturally glorious. However, now that her family has fallen, and the emperor dotes on Consort Rong, it would be good if she could keep her position as empress.
The emperor also had the intention of making Rong Fei an empress, but was rejected by Rong Fei herself.
The queen's body was completely stiff, and her eyes also revealed a few points of despair. Only in such a situation, she...
What face will she have in the future?
"Sister..." She had no choice but to ask Rong Fei for guidance, hating Rong Fei even more in her heart. Now she also had to lower her head, because those two men listened to Rong Fei.
Roufei was dazed, her red lips slightly moving, and that intoxicating voice slowly spread out. For a moment, the coldness in the entire grand hall also softened a bit. "Originally a joyful event, why did it have to become like this? The empress originally did it for your own good, fearing that you would be wronged, so why must you make things difficult for her?"
Her words paused for a moment, and her eyes slowly turned towards Meng Fuying. She saw Meng Fuying standing there, slightly lowering his head, motionless.
"Look at what you've done to Miss Meng!"
Although she felt that Meng Fuying was not worthy of her son in her heart, but seeing Meng Fuying's appearance made her somewhat unbearable.
Meng Fu's eyes widened in surprise, she hadn't expected Rong Fei to plead for her. She had sensed it before, Rong Fei wasn't very fond of her, yet here she was, showing a truly compassionate heart.
What? Xuan Yuan Ye's drooping eyes flashed slightly, would she be scared off?
It was just that no one noticed that when Rong Fei opened her mouth, he seemed to have secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"It's not that Miss Meng is wrong, she's just too honest, all she said was the truth. Girls are naturally timid, you've already scared her so much, what more do you want to punish her for?" Consort Rou gently glanced at Xuan Yuan Ye and spoke again in a soft voice.
Meng Fu Ying just bowed her head slightly towards Rou Fei, Bodhisattva, truly a living Bodhisattva.
Xuan Yuan Ye's lips seemed to twitch slightly, was she really telling the truth?
She's timid, going to the White Mansion in the middle of the night to move silver? She's timid, gathering people together, one by one?
If she were timid, then everyone in the world would have been frightened to death long ago.
"Yan'er listens to the empress's words." Xuan Yuan Yan's voice had a few more parts of respect, seemingly without the coldness from just now, and instead had a few more parts of gentleness.
Everyone knows that although this old man is arrogant, he listens to his mother's words and follows her advice.
"What do you mean?" The gentle concubine nodded slightly and asked again in a soft voice, implying that she was also not quite satisfied with Meng Fu Ying.
"This time's imperial harem selection, cancel it." Xuan Yuan Ye couldn't help but understand her meaning, and immediately said with a hint of impatience.
Meng Fu's eyes slightly opened, and she unconsciously quickly looked at him, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
Fine, fine, cancel it then. Anyway, as long as it's not her, that's all that matters. She knows that Xuan Yuan Ye can't possibly really want to marry well.
Xuanyuan Ye slightly raised his eyes and met hers, seeing the uncontrollable joy in her eyes.
Her eyes sank, but the corners of her mouth seemed to hide a faint, imperceptible smile. Woman, don't you think you're rejoicing too early?
