Chapter 525 - Heavy Punishment, Beating All to Death (2/2)

“Your Highness, I’m innocent. I really didn’t expect this would happen.”

“Your Highness, Your Highness…”

“Shut up. Whoever dares to speak nonsense again, I will have someone to pull out her teeth.” Feng Yuran, who sat on the high seat, banged the table forcefully. There was a flash of viciousness in her eyes. He appeared really ruthless.

The concubines did not dare to say anything else when they noticed how angry he was. They all looked at Feng Yuran in tears, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

“Nanny Chen, tell us about what happened!” Feng Yuran looked at the women in front of him with disgust. The smile in his eyes grew even colder. Most of the women present were sent from other manors, including people from the Empress Dowager’s side, the Empress’ side, the other consorts’ side, and even his elder brothers’ side. They all had ulterior motives. They thought that since they had a backer, he would not do anything to them.

Nanny Chen had been standing by the side solemnly. She took a few steps forward when she heard Feng Yuran’s order. She curtsied respectfully to Feng Yuran and said, “Your Highness, after that incident, I got some people to surround Concubine Xiang’s place and the concubines. I found something after that.”

As she was speaking, Nanny Chen smiled and went on, “The one who encouraged everyone to go to Concubine Xiang’s place was Concubine w.a.n.g and Concubine Shen. It was Concubine Chen and Concubine Ling, who stayed there to buy some time. It was Concubine Mei’s maid who secretly sprinkled oil on the ground around the door. Concubine Luo’s maid sprinkled oil on the door-post. The two Concubine Li fell down in the front, and the one who pulled Concubine Xiang’s dress was…”

According to her words, many concubines present were involved in this incident.

“Your Highness, I didn’t do that. I’m from the Empress Dowager’s palace. How could I do such an evil thing?”

“Your Highness, the Empress has warned me not to do this kind of vicious thing.”

“Your Highness, King Chu is your elder brother. He’s always gentle and elegant. If I’m really that kind of person, why would His Highness give me to you?”

There were various types of beauties in the hall. The beauties all cried and looked pitiful. And they pointed out who their previous masters were. Their masters were either Feng Yuran’s elders or his elder brothers. Feng Yuran could not punish them for any of their sake.

Feng Yuran held the teacup in his hand and a charming smile appeared on his lips. However, in the eyes of his concubines, he looked grim and frightening. A few of them s.h.i.+vered for a moment before they realized that something was wrong. They hid behind others and did not dare to say anything else. King Xuan looked more like a bloodthirsty leopard today.

He stood up and walked to two concubines who were crying the most. He suddenly smiled coldly, stretched out his leg, and kicked them out. “When I haven’t asked you to speak, whoever dares to speak will be punished like this,” he said.

Everyone looked over and saw that the two concubines had been kicked into a pillar and spilled out a mouthful of blood. Their breath had become weak.

At this sight of the blood, everyone felt a chill in their heart. Even Concubine Xiang, who had been crying, was so scared that her face turned pale.

“Your Highness, how do you deal with these people? Please tell us.” Nanny Chen turned around and asked Feng Yuran respectfully.

Feng Yuran’s eyes were cold and there was a charming and evil smile on his lips, which made his extremely handsome face look as bloodthirsty as that of an asura. People felt scared and frightened when they were stared by him. Under his gaze, none of the concubines kneeling on the ground dared to speak. The b.l.o.o.d.y scene just now had made them so afraid that they could not even breathe heavily.

Time seemed to have stopped. After a long while, Feng Yuran suddenly put on a normal smile which was as beautiful as a flower. However, there was not a trace of a smile in his eyes. “Nanny Chen, what’s the penalty for murdering the child of the royal family?”

“Killing the whole family!” Nanny Chen answered.

Her words startled all the concubines. They all could not remain steady; their body shook; their faces were as pale as a white paper and they were all depressed. Some of them did not dare to speak and kept kowtowing and begging for forgiveness. It was said that the matter would not blow up. Since there were so many people and other powers involved, how could King Xuan deal with them like that?

“Somebody, drag all of them out and beat them to death.” Feng Yuran’s cold gaze swept over every concubine’s face. There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes. The people he had set his eyes on were all trembling in fear.

“Your Highness, no…” The concubines were scared out of their wits, and a few of them had lost their rationality and rushed over, crying, “Your Highness, I’m from the Empress Dowager’s palace. I’m a gift from the Empress Dowager!”

“Are you trying to threaten me with the Empress Dowager?” Feng Yuran coldly looked at the concubine who rushed towards him, as if he were looking at a dead object. He lifted his leg and kicked the concubine closest to him away.

Immediately, several tall and strong guards who guarded outside rushed in and dragged those concubines out.

“Put a gag in their mouth, so that they won’t annoy His Highness,” Nanny Chen said loudly.

Immediately, someone took something and stuffed the concubines’ mouths. After a while, the sound of beating flesh came from the courtyard, but no other sound came.
