Life-Robbing Consort - C11
Everyone looked at each other in shock. The temper of the Emperor was something that had never been seen before in history.
Lady Yan, who was kneeling in the main hall, was also silenced. She looked at Ulan Yi with a terrified gaze, deeply afraid that she would say something that would kill the entire family.
Xiao Lan paused for a moment before she slowly exhaled. Even though the Wei family was cold and emotionless towards their original owner, Xiao Lan did not believe that their debt would reach the point of annihilating their entire family.
Xiao Lan recalled the expression of the people that entered earlier and imitated their appearances, lowering her eyes as she replied in a low voice.
“My daughter, Lan Yi, is from the Hou clan.”
“Oh?” After hearing what was said, Xuanyuan Hongxi looked Xiao Lan up and down in surprise. He then looked at Wei Ze, “I didn’t know that there was actually a woman, so what’s going on here?”
“This …”
Wei Ze, who was kneeling in the main hall, suddenly started sobbing. How was he going to answer this? Was he going to say in front of the officials that he had been drunk and had humiliated his servant and gave birth to this girl?
How would he have the face to face with others from now on?
Xuanyuan Hongxi, who was sitting on the main seat, silently waited. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the redness on his face.
So difficult to describe. It seems like there is a hidden disease …
Xuanyuan Hongxi slowly withdrew his gaze from Wei Ze and slightly shifted it before it suddenly fell on Xiao Lan. “You don’t need to tell me, tell me.”
Xiao Lan naturally raised his head and calmly looked at the noble emperor who sat on the main seat, Xuanyuan Hongxi.
When Wei Ze saw Xiao Lan’s actions, he instantly shouted in a low voice at Xiao Lan. “Xiao Lan Yi, kneel!”
He had never paid attention to this woman before. In the past, when he saw her, she had always been a submissive and submissive little girl who could not utter a single word. What was wrong with him today, not only did he dare to look the Regent in the eye, he even dared to look the Emperor in the eye. Was she really going to push the entire Yu Family into the Unbroken Hell!?
Xiao Lan heard the low growl of Wei Ze and retracted his gaze from Xuanyuan Hongxi. Standing on the spot, he couldn’t help but start thinking whether he should kneel or not, because she, Xiao Lan, really didn’t have the habit of kneeling down to others.
Seeing that Xiao Lan was actually standing in place and hesitating, Wei Ze couldn’t help but stand up abruptly and walk up to Xiao Lan’s side. He grabbed onto Xiao Lan’s shoulder and fiercely pressed her down onto the hard stone floor.
“Kneel!”
His hands had never left the crossbows of the sharp sword, so the strength could be imagined. Naturally, Xiao Lan had no ability to resist as he kowtowed straight to the ground, but at the last second, Xiao Lan forcibly turned his knees into a single knee.
“You!”
You Ze suddenly opened his eyes wide, and it was not just him. All of the civil and military officials’ family members in the main hall looked at Xiao Lan, who was kneeling on one knee, with shock in their eyes.
Was this woman from the duke’s manor unconvinced? She was blatantly opposing the duke.
At this point, he was already in a furious rage, but he didn’t dare to sit still and do his best to restrain himself. He also didn’t dare to look at the Emperor’s expression, afraid that he would see the Emperor’s furious expression.
At this moment, Wei Ze’s eyes were filled with the viciousness of wanting to cut off Xiao Lan’s tendons and bones. Especially the leg that Xiao Lan could not kneel on, which deeply stung Wei Ze’s eyes!
In the next second, Wei Ze raised his leg and ruthlessly swept it towards the knee that Xiao Lan had propped up. When Xiao Lan realized this, she was already unable to dodge it and forcibly endured this blow, and in an instant, a heart-wrenching pain came from her entire knee.
In the end, Xiao Lan fell to his knees and knelt on the ice-cold ground.
Wei Ze’s voice that was filled with rage scraped over Xiao Lan’s head like a sharp blade. “Kneel! Good!”
The entire main hall could only be clearly heard by Yuze’s voice. Everyone had given up even on breathing. It was terrifyingly quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying to the point it made one’s hair stand on end.
In the next moment, Weizi kneeled to the ground sincerely, not even daring to raise his head. He begged in a terrified and sorrowful voice, “Please be merciful and forgive this foolish little girl for her unintentional offense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
No one dared to look over at Xuanyuan Hongxi. Some of them even dared to sneak a peek at the seat of honor, but that was only for a moment.
The interest in Xuanyuan Hongxi’s eyes had long since disappeared without a trace. For a king who was unwilling to kneel to someone, how could he possibly arouse Xuanyuan Hongxi’s interest?
Xuanyuan Hongxi leaned back in his chair, his right hand stroked the jade thumb ring on his left hand, his movements gentle and slow as he rotated it from time to time.
The main hall became even more deathly silent. The air seemed to have congealed together.
Xuanyuan Hongxi’s gaze swept across Wei Ze before it coldly landed on Xiao Lan.
“Marquis, you haven’t answered my question.”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, this girl’s name is Ulan Yi. She was born of a servant girl and this humble subject got drunk once. Her mother died in childbirth and lacked discipline since she was young. It was this humble subject’s fault that she offended the imperial family, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.”
Xuanyuan Hongxi flicked his jade thumb ring, “Son of a servant girl, no wonder.”
Xuanyuan Hongxi’s words were full of contempt and contempt, and after a moment, Xuanyuan Hongxi’s deep eyes slowly turned to look at Xuanyuan Wentian.
“Regent, the one who offended you the most is you. What do you think?”
Xuanyuan Yun’s narrow and clear eyes froze for a moment before raising his head. He looked at Xiao Lan, who had finally kneeled on the ground with her knees but was secretly straight on her back, and smiled faintly. “Yuhuang has already said that this is his silly little girl. Since she’s an idiot, what else can we do about it?”
After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun leisurely picked up the white porcelain teacup and took a sip.
Everyone secretly looked at each other, and from Xuanyuan Yun’s words, they were able to catch the two words “stupid idiot”.
Everyone couldn’t help but look towards Xiao Lan once again. That’s right, this girl must be an idiot. If she wasn’t an idiot, how would she have been able to do such a crazy and unrestrained thing?
Yes, she must be a fool!
Instantly, Xiao Lan was firmly labeled as a fool by everyone.
Xuanyuan Hongxi’s deep gaze stayed on Xuanyuan Wentian who was drinking the tea by himself for three seconds, then he glanced at Xiao Lan and Xuanyuan Hongxi suddenly smiled.
“That’s right, the Regent is right. That girl is definitely lacking in intelligence, otherwise how could she be like this? Forget it, I am too lazy to bother with such a woman. Someone, bring her out. Don’t make things difficult for her, don’t hurt her.”
“Yes sir!”
The imperial guards, who had been waiting for a long time, dragged Xiao Lan out of the room with a blink of an eye.
As Xiao Lan passed by Xuanyuan Yun, she cast a deep glance at him. That gaze was as deep as the abyss.
