1098 Wait Slowly
Xue Fanxin naturally did not know what had happened in the distant places. After dealing with Yi Fentian, she turned her gaze to the Empress and the Second Prince.
Now, only these two scourges were left.
Compared to Yi Fentian and Jiang Donghai, the Empress and the Second Prince had committed even more heinous crimes. For their own selfish reasons, they had harmed so many innocent commoners and did not take human lives seriously. They deserved to die even more and were unforgivable.
The Empress and the Second Prince knew that after Yi Fentian and Jiang Donghai died, it would be their turn. When they realized that Xue Fanxin had turned her gaze on them, they were so frightened that their entire bodies trembled, and they did not even have the courage to beg for mercy.
They had also seen Yi Fentian and Jiang Donghai begging for mercy, but it was useless. Therefore, they did not think that Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang would let them off.
Furthermore, they had been poisoned by the incurable plague. If they did not have the antidote, they would both die.
“You two heinous people, even if you die a thousand times, it won’t be enough to anger the commoners. What do you think I should do with you?” Xue Fanxin naturally wanted to kill the Empress and the Second Prince directly, but this would be letting these two bastards off too easily.
The Empress knew that begging for mercy was useless and knew that she would definitely die today. Therefore, even though she was very afraid, she endured it and scolded Xue Fanxin to vent her anger. “Xue Fanxin, one day, someone will definitely be able to kill you. I’ll wait for you in the netherworld.”
“Then go to the netherworld and wait slowly.”
“You…”
“You what? If you want to scold or curse, I’ll take it. I’ve always been very generous to people who are about to die and won’t dispute too much with them.”
“Xue Fanxin, I’ll tear you apart.” The Empress was exasperated. She wanted to rush forward and tear Xue Fanxin apart, but just as she was about to move, she was stopped.
At this moment, the Second Prince, who had been silent, suddenly knelt out and said, “Imperial Uncle, everything was done by Mother. It has nothing to do with me. The plague poison was developed by a few poison masters under Mother’s orders. It was also Mother who ordered people to release the plague poison in the palace and the city. Father was placed under house arrest by Mother. I didn’t do anything. I beg you to let me off.”
The Empress watched as her son pushed everything to her. Although she was a little sad and disappointed, she was not angry. She only smiled bitterly and said, “My son, do you think you can live by pushing everything to your mother? They won’t let us off. When your father regains power, he won’t let us off either, so we can only die now.”
“No… It’s not like that.” The Second Prince still did not give up. He knelt in front of Ye Jiushang and kowtowed. “Imperial Uncle, I know my mistake. I beg you, spare my life.”
Ye Jiushang ignored the Second Prince’s begging and did not look at the Empress again. He looked at Xue Fanxin and said, “How about handing these two people to the emperor of the Ye Empire?”
“Will that emperor be merciful and let these two heinous scums off?” Xue Fanxin asked unwillingly.
“No, he wants these two people’s lives more than us. The plague poison has had a huge impact on the reputation of the Ye Empire’s royal family. If the emperor of the Ye Empire doesn’t do anything, it will be very difficult to convince the commoners in the future. Just treat it as giving the late emperor face and letting the Ye Empire earn some reputation.”
“Alright, I’ll leave these two to the emperor.”
Ye Jiushang stroked Xue Fanxin’s little head dotingly. “Don’t worry. If you’re not satisfied with the outcome of the emperor’s punishment, we’ll do it ourselves.”
“Yes, yes, I think so too.”
When the Empress heard Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang’s conversation, she shouted in panic, “Do it yourself. I beg you to kill me.”
If she fell into the emperor’s hands, her outcome would be even more tragic. She would have to experience all eighteen kinds of torture.
“Take her away.” Ye Jiushang did not want to hear the Empress’s annoying voice. He ordered someone to escort her to the emperor.
“No, let go of me, let go of me…”
No matter how the Empress and the Second Prince struggled or shouted, no one cared. They allowed the mother and son to be escorted away.
After dealing with everyone who needed to be dealt with, the Grand Preceptor’s estate suddenly fell silent.
