C48 He wanted her to lose her soul, wanted her to cut the weeds at the roots … (2/2)

”Yes, yes, yes.”

The attendants and palace maids covered the coffin with their hands and feet at the same time. The cloth covering the coffin returned to its original state and was lifted up once more.

The high-ranking officer raised the young eunuch in his hand and said angrily, ”Speak, what is your name? Which palace? ”

The young eunuch was also frightened. Knowing that he had caused a huge mess, he stammered, ”I-I'm Xiao Quan, it's … ”Yes …” In his panic, he saw the Imperial Consort Lan and her men rushing over. He could not help but cry out in fear, ”Esteemed Empress Lan, save me!”

The high-ranking officer looked up and saw the Imperial Consort Lan as well, he hurriedly bowed, ”Greetings Esteemed Empress Lan, Lady Qiong.”

”Please excuse me, General Ning.” Although Imperial Consort Lan didn't know the general's name, she was born into an official's house, so she could naturally see his position from the armor.

She glanced at Xiao Quan who was being lifted in the air, her brows knitted tightly, and said with a stern voice: ”This Xiao Quan just died, big sister, I originally pitied him and told him to come to my Blue Mist Palace to listen to my servant. I never thought that he would be so disobedient, daring to charge into big sister Lin Hui's funeral procession!”

”If I don't punish her, what face will I have to face my sister's spirit in heaven?” A cold light flashed in her eyes as she pulled out the blade on the waist of the Grand Guard. Without any hesitation, she raised her hand towards Xiao Quan's neck and brought it down!

Blood flowed freely.

If he wanted her, he would be scared out of his wits. If he wanted her, he would get rid of everything.

”Empress!”

Fang Chun screamed involuntarily!

Xiao Quan was already scared stiff, while the guard general, Xiao Bu Dian, was also shocked.

The blade edge was only an inch away from Xiao Quan's neck, but it couldn't move at all.

The broadsword at his waist was firmly gripped by a white palm. However, the palm of the broadsword was cut by the sharp blade edge unavoidably. Dark red blood flowed along the blade's body.

Ye Qiongjiang held onto the blade, and did not miss the ruthlessness that flashed past Imperial Consort Lan's eyes, ”Big Sister Imperial Consort Lan is that impatient? ”Today is the day of elder sister Lin Hui's funeral. It's really inappropriate to see such a bloody scene again.”

”I …” Imperial Consort Lan lowered her gaze, her face suddenly becoming pale. She released his blade, looked at the blood on the blade as if she had just woken up from a dream, and threw the waist blade on the ground with a ”clang”, as he said in grief and indignation: ”I was only like this because I was anxious and angry to do so! Sister Qiong Fei heard it just now, I told him to come back, he shouldn't have done it, it was clearly meant to make trouble, to scare big sister Lin Hui to death, and not enter the cycle of reincarnation … ” As she spoke, she began to cry.

Fang Chun had already walked over, and anxiously took out her handkerchief to press on the wound on Ye Qiongjiang's palm, causing blood to ooze out, it was painful but at the same time angry, ”Empress, how dare you use your hand to block the blade! ”Although you are kind and compassionate, but we servants, who has a life more precious than yours?!”

Although her palm felt a little painful, it was still a long way from the pain she had suffered during Xin Su's training. It was just some superficial wounds, and she was not that weak yet. Ye Qiongjiang ignored the Imperial Consort Lan and said to General Ning Xi: ”General, please continue your journey. This Xiao Quan, leave him to me. After Sister Lin Hui's funeral, I will report this to the Emperor truthfully. ”

After hesitating for a bit, he looked at the funeral procession that had stopped. He really couldn't delay any longer, ”Alright, let's follow Lady Qiong's instructions.” He put down the eunuch in his hand and sheathed his waist knife.

”Let's continue!”

”Yes sir!”

The attendants trembled as they lifted the coffins, carefully taking their steps. The funeral procession continued on its way to the hotel.

Xiao Quan was let down, he was originally a peasant child who did not know much, and upon arriving, he thought that Esteemed Empress Lan, who treated him very well, would actually suddenly brandish his blade at him, which was truly frightening, causing his face to turn pale and his body to tremble.

Imperial Consort Lan wiped her tears as she looked at Ye Qiongjiang, ”Little sister, you have a merciful heart, but big sister can't take this lying down. Don't blame me for being ruthless, this Xiao Quan, if I don't execute him, how can I face big sister Lin Hui?”

”Big sister Imperial Consort Lan, my hands are injured, my body and mind are tired, I will not stay here to accompany big sister.”

At this point, what's the right thing to say?

If he was really as good as the Imperial Consort Hui, what was the meaning of framing him before?

Ye Qiongjiang was no longer willing to watch Imperial Consort Lan put on an act, and directly brought Xiao Quan back to Jade Dew Hall.

Once inside the Jade Dew Hall, Fang Chun hurriedly ordered some people to ask the Royal Hospital to come and treat the Empress's wound.

Ye Qiongjiang didn't care at all, she just lightly sat on the rattan chair, and looked at Xiao Quan who was still trembling in fear. Although he was a boy and had a small figure, he had a hint of a person's appearance, ”Your name is Xiao Quan?”

Xiao Quan trembled in fear and kneeled down with a plop. He cried out even more but he did not dare cry out loud.

Ye Qiongjiang frowned slightly, and pulled him up, ”What are you crying for? A man should bleed but not cry. Although you are still young, you are still a man! Tell me, is your sister called Hong Yu? ”

Xiao Quan blinked her eyes, as though she was being intimidated by her words, his tears remained in her eyes, ”Yes, yes.”

To cut the grass at its roots?

Ye Qiongjiang's eyes flashed, as she understood what was going on.
