《See Through Fickleness of Life》 C1 The autumn wind was bleak. It was also after dusk. Inside the Rising Sun Hall, the heating system was in perfect harmony. The Emperor, Mu Qingchen, was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe as he leaned against a soft couch. Yu Fei Su Wan''er who was in her embrace had her clothes half off. A pair of jade-like hands wrapped around Mu Qingchen''s neck, and her soft body was rubbing against Mu Qingchen. Her face was filled with love, and her voice was as gentle as water, captivating one''s soul. "Your Majesty, this servant wants ¡­" A lazy smile appeared on Mu Qingchen''s handsome face. With an extremely gentle voice, he said, "My beloved concubine, I''ll give it to you!" Luo Yi took off his clothes lightly, revealing his beautiful body. The extremely lecherous voice soon sounded in the room. In a corner of the hall, there was a completely different scene compared to the fiery heat of the soft couch. There was a thick layer of nails on the green brick floor. The nails had long been infiltrated by the blood, and blood was dripping down from the sky, moving up the blood. The empress Bai Ruo Lan''s four naked limbs hung in the air in the shape of big words. At this moment, this number one beauty of the Great Yao Nation did not have a single strand of good flesh left on her body. Her entire body had been tormented until it was badly mangled. Pain invaded her four tendons, eight meridians, and six viscera. She seemed to be on the verge of death as she opened her eyes listlessly, looking in the direction of the soft couch. Due to the four limbs being fixed, she was unable to move. The love on the soft couch was exposed in front of her eyes, without any cover. She could only watch her favorite man run around the woman''s body, his red lips slightly parted as he let out an intoxicating moan. The soft sounds and impacts were like sharp knives stabbing at her heart. It was even more excruciating than physical torture. Mu Qingchen, is this what you meant when you said ''all one''s life is over''? Bai Ruolan painfully closed her eyes, not wanting to see the embarrassing scene in front of her eyes. Although her eyesight couldn''t see, the lecherous words still invaded her ears from all directions. Life is better than death! It was truly better to die than to live! She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted due to the physical and mental torture. After an unknown amount of time, the lingering warmth on the soft couch gradually subsided. Mu Qingchen withdrew, put on his clothes and slowly walked over. He saw that Bai Ruo Lan''s eyes were tightly shut, and the corner of her mouth was stained with blood. His voice carried a hint of coldness, "Why are you unable to bear it so quickly?" Splash her awake! " Following Mu Qingchen''s command, the two palace maids held a ladle of ice water each and poured it into a bucket on the ground, throwing it towards the hanging Bai Ruo Lan. The cold water pricked her skin, causing her to shiver and open her eyes. When she saw Mu Qingchen, her eyes filled with tears. "Your Majesty, Lan''er has been wrongly accused. Oh, Lan''er has been wrongly accused!" "Unjustly accused?" Only ruthlessness and indifference remained, and her voice was chilling to the bone. "Bai Ruo Lan, if not for our people leaving in time, you would have already become a couple of happy lovers with the crippled Crown Prince Mu Qingye, right?" "It''s not like that! Your Majesty, it''s not like that. Lan`er was knocked unconscious and thrown into a broken temple ¡­ Lan`er has never seen anyone before... Lan''er and Big Brother Ye are innocent ¡­ " On the night before their wedding, she went to the temple to enjoy the fragrance of the incense and was knocked out and kidnapped. When she woke up, she was lying in a ruined temple in a barren mountain. She was immediately sent to the Imperial Palace, and after experiencing such a big fright, she thought that Mu Qing Chen would comfort her a little. Unexpectedly, the Mu Qing Chen who was usually gentle like water seemed to have become a completely different person. She was still insensible and was in so much pain that she wanted to die. However, Mu Qingchen saw that she didn''t seem to have lost her virginity and didn''t have the slightest trace of pity for her anymore. "What a clean slate!" Mu Qingchen''s eyes flashed with anger. "Since you''re so innocent, then tell me, where did your gatekeeper go? "Why didn''t you become famous when I was with you?" "Lan''er doesn''t know!" "Lan''er doesn''t know!" Bai Ruolan looked at Mu Qingchen in despair, "Your Majesty, Lan`er''s only man in this life is Your Majesty!" "Hehe!" "You''re still talking nonsense even now, do you really think I''m a fool?" "That''s right, esteemed empress. Everyone says that men and women shouldn''t get intimate with each other. You and the crown prince stayed together for five days and five nights in private. They say that only fools who kiss each other will believe it!" Su Wan''er stepped on her lotus steps and walked over with a smile. "Besides, I heard that the prime minister personally admitted before the empress that he wanted the empress and crown prince to become a couple. The empress and crown prince are famous geniuses and beautiful ladies of the Great Yao Kingdom!" Hearing Su Wan''Er''s words, Mu Qingchen''s expression instantly darkened. The crippled Crown Prince Mu Qingye was elegant and elegant, and Bai Ruo Lan was known as the number one beauty in the Great Yao Country. He would never believe that there was no connection between the two of them. Su Wan''er had already noticed the change in Mu Qingchen''s mood and added on, "On that mid-autumn night, I personally saw the crippled crown prince insert a pearl into the Empress''s hair ¡­ Isn''t the pearl flower in the empress'' hair now? " "Su Wan''er, what nonsense are you spouting! Your Majesty, my father never said such a thing. As for the Pearl Flower, that''s because the Orchid Pearl Flower fell and was picked up by Big Brother Ye! " Bai Ruolan urgently wanted to explain, but Mu Qingchen wouldn''t listen to her explanation. He actually still called Mu Qingye big brother Ye at this time. In the past, she had always called Mu Qingye big brother Ye. Now that Mu Qingye had become a stray dog, she even called him big brother Ye! The fire in Mu Qingchen''s heart burned hotter and hotter. If she was really innocent, then the protective sand on her body wouldn''t have disappeared, and when he touched her, it didn''t even turn red. It was obvious that Bai Ruochen and Mu Qingye were really together. He shouted harshly, "Bitch! What do you have to say for yourself now? " "Your Majesty! I really didn''t betray you! I am truly wronged! " Mu Qingchen sneered, "Since you have been wrongly accused, I shall give you a chance to prove your innocence. Tell me where Mu Qingye is and I will believe you once I catch him!" "I don''t know! Your Majesty, I don''t know where Mu Qingye is! " Bai Ruo Lan shook her head. That day, she was knocked out and snatched away by someone, and when she woke up, she was saved by someone from Mu Qingchen. From the start until now, she hadn''t seen Mu Qingye, so how could she know his whereabouts? "You actually protected him? "Bai Ruo Lan, since you insist on not realizing it, don''t blame me!" Ruthlessness flashed past Mu Qingchen''s eyes. Use torture! " C2 The palace maid tightly held onto the torture device. The pain of her four limbs being gripped by the torture device had penetrated her heart. After torturing her until now, she no longer had the strength to cry out, only moaning and groaning. From the beginning of the torture until now, Bai Ruochen had never revealed Mu Qingye''s whereabouts, and Mu Qingchen could not help but feel a little anxious. Standing at the side, Su Wan''er glared at Bai Ruo Lan and said, "Your majesty, I have a method to make the Empress speak the truth!" "What method?" "Adding salt and chili concoction into the water, a pampered person like the empress definitely won''t be able to withstand it!" Bai Ruo Lan''s entire body was covered in wounds. She was rubbing salt and pepper all over the wounds. Wasn''t this meant to make her die from pain? "Su Wan''er, you''ll die a horrible death!" Bai Ruo Lan''s eyes widened. She cast her gaze towards Mu Qingchen, and swore in front of her. She did not believe that Mu Qing Chen would agree to such a perverted request from Su Wan''Er to torture her. It was a pity that Bai Ruochen was wrong. Mu Qingchen didn''t have the slightest hesitation as he coldly spat out two words that pierced the bone, "It''s done!" Very quickly, two buckets of water with salt water and chili powder were brought in. The water was all over her wounds, and the pain from the splashing of the water on her upper body was so excruciating that it pierced her heart like ants. Bai Ruolan originally didn''t have the strength to moan from the pain, but because of the inhumane torture, she started to let out a shrill scream. Mu Qingchen''s expression did not change, but his voice was light, "Tell me where Mu Qingye is, and I''ll let you go!" "I... I don''t know! Your majesty! I really don''t know! " "Splash again!" The cold voice of the palace maid continued to splash water on Bai Ruo Lan''s body, her screams reverberating in the great hall. In the end, he could not hold on and fainted! After being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Bai Ruo Lan slowly woke up, her entire body covered in injuries. She had only moved slightly, but the pain made her break out in a cold sweat. He looked around with his lifeless eyes, and then a candle flame came in from outside the window and he found himself in an abandoned palace. Her skin was torn and her flesh was torn, making her look even heavier. She was cold, hungry and in pain. She was truly begging for death. From the distance, a sharp voice of a sage could be heard. "It''s always been a pity that men always have the will of a beautiful woman ¡­" Tears rolled down Bai Ruo Lan''s face. There was the sound of footsteps coming from far away, and the lights were gradually becoming brighter. A few court people were holding lanterns as they led Su Wan''er into the room. Compared to Bai Ruo Lan''s dying body covered in blood, Su Wan''er was as beautiful as a fairy that descended from the heavens. She stood beside Bai Ruo Lan, her lips curving up slightly, and said with a cold and vicious voice: "Isn''t this the number one beauty in the entire Great Yao Country? Tsk tsk tsk tsk! "See how you became like this?" When enemies meet, their eyes would turn red. Bai Ruo Lan glared at Su Wan''er: "Su Wan''Er, you''re so malicious. There will be a time for retribution." "Hahaha!" What a good retribution! Bai Ruo Lan, aren''t you so dedicated to doing good that you aren''t even willing to trample an ant to death? Logically speaking, a person like you should be blessed by the heavens to be safe and happy, right? But look at your current situation. You''ve already fallen to this level. "It''s all because of a wicked woman like you. If you hadn''t bewitched His Majesty, how could I have done anything else?" "Bewitching? The Emperor was a wise man who could be bewitched by others? Bai Ruo Lan, don''t tell me you haven''t thought about it at all? " "Reflection? "I''ve never done anything wrong. What''s the point of reflecting?" "You didn''t sit wrong? Bai Ruo Lan, the Emperor is the Heavens. Even if you''re not wrong, he''s wrong when he says you''re wrong! " "What do you mean?" "What do you mean you don''t know? "You don''t think the Emperor really likes you to the point where he can''t extricate himself, do you?" Su Wan''Er bent down with a cold look on her face, "If you weren''t the Left Premier Qian Jin, if your father wasn''t useful for the emperor''s ascension, if you weren''t able to confuse Mu Qingye, the emperor wouldn''t even look at you!" "You''re lying!" Bai Ruolan didn''t believe that Mu Qingchen could only use her. She didn''t believe that Mu Qingchen wouldn''t love her because of his gentleness and his pampering. She didn''t believe that Mu Qingchen wouldn''t love her. "I''m spouting nonsense? Didn''t the Emperor allow you to have a couple for your entire life? Since that''s the case, why did you marry me before your big wedding? " "That''s because ¡­" "Because of what? Did the Emperor tell you to marry me only on the orders of the Empress Dowager? " Su Wan''er interrupted Bai Ruo Lan''s words, "Bai Ruo Lan, oh Bai Ruo Lan, I thought you were stupid? "The emperor was lying to you. He said the same thing like me, that he was only forced to marry you. To tell you the truth, the emperor and I were together four months ago!" "What?" "That''s impossible!" Bai Ruo Lan could not imagine Mu Qing Chen secretly spending time with Su Wan''Er while they talked to each other. "Impossible?" Su Wan''Er gently caressed her stomach, "Let me tell you one more thing, I''m already 3 months pregnant. "The imperial physician said the pulse was a boy. If so ¡­" C3 Bai Ruo Lan''s gaze landed on Su Wan''Er''s slightly bulging lower abdomen. Her face was filled with shock and disbelief. He couldn''t believe that Su Wan''Er would actually hurt Mu Qingchen''s child. He couldn''t believe that the man who said that he loved her had already betrayed her! The favor of the Emperor was like a reflection of the moon in the water, and his heart was extremely cold. At that moment, he actually no longer had any thoughts of living. Su Wan''er looked at her lifeless appearance, then her eyes turned cold and she suddenly raised her voice: "Bai Ruo Lan, the Emperor told me to bring you a message. If you tell me where Mu Qingye is, he will give you a way out, a way for everyone in the Bai Family to live. "What did he do?" Bai Ruolan''s voice was hoarse. Mu Qingchen had already treated her so ruthlessly, so what could she do? Left side was just killing her, she was being tormented and insulted while she was still alive, dying was actually a kind of release. "Your majesty is a man who misses his old friendship and purposely gave you time to think about it. If you persist in not revealing Mu Qingye''s whereabouts and infuriate your majesty, Caishikou will be the last destination for the hundreds of lives of your Bai Family." "Impossible!" Hearing that Mu Qingchen was about to exterminate the entire Bai Family, Bai Ruolan''s eyes were filled with fear. She shouted crazily, "I want to see the Emperor! I want to see the Emperor! " "The emperor doesn''t want to see you! Unless you can reveal the whereabouts of the crippled crown prince! " "I don''t know! I really don''t know! " Bai Ruolan cried out in despair. Su Wan''er smiled sinisterly, "Make your move until the empress confesses!" The palace guards immediately followed, and a new round of torture began. Bai Ruolan fainted and was woken up by the splash. After being tossed around three to four times, there was not a single piece of good meat on her body besides her face. Su Wan''Er''s gaze was venomously staring at Bai Ruo Lan''s face. Although her body was covered in blood, her face was still as beautiful as ever. The punishment of the palace had never been carried out with any face whatsoever. Otherwise, she would not hesitate to destroy this face which could topple cities and topple empires. Her gaze landed on Bai Ruolan. She wasn''t the only one with unparalleled beauty and talents that touched the capital. Right now, His Majesty''s favorite was to perform with her, Qin Xiao. She smiled coldly, looked at the servant beside her, and nodded at Bai Ruo Lan''s hand. Two of the court members stepped forward to catch Bai Ruo Lan''s fingers with their clips and tightened them. A clear cracking sound rang out; all ten fingers were connected to her heart. Bai Ruo Lan screamed until her lungs were splitting, her fingers were dripping with blood. Seeing that Bai Ruo Lan''s ten fingers were broken, Su Wan''er nodded her head in satisfaction. She looked down from above at the faintly breathing Bai Ruo Lan. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" "I didn''t expect the empress to protect Mu Qingye, the traitor, so easily. I''d rather die than admit it. Since that''s the case, I''ll have to go back and report to the emperor." "Su Wan''er, you''re not a human!" Bai Ruo Lan''s eyes were bloodshot as she viciously glared at Su Wan''Er, "Even if I become a ghost, I won''t let you off!" Su Wan''Er gently caressed her stomach, "Bai Ruo Lan, the one who really made you fall to this stage wasn''t me, but the emperor. The Bai Family''s three elders, their accomplishments are all great, and having a queen like you is an incredible thing. Since ancient times, there have been countless children with great power and influence in the outside world. "You''re lying, the Emperor won''t do this to my Bai Clan!" "Bai Ruo Lan, ah, Bai Ruo Lan, it''s already this late, yet you still refuse to come to terms with it?" Su Wan''er giggled. "If the emperor had someone in his heart, why would he do this to you?" The so-called crippled Crown Prince Mu Qingye is only the cause! " "What do you mean?" "To tell you the truth! He knows that you don''t know the whereabouts of Mu Qingye at all. The so-called staying with Mu Qingye for five days and five nights is only to hide things from the eyes and ears, and in the end, is just using you to eradicate the entire Bai Family. " "That won''t happen!" "No way!" Bai Ruo Lan mumbled to herself, but she still believed most of it in her heart. If it wasn''t because of Mu Qing Chen''s order, how could Su Wan''Er be so arrogant? Therefore, all of this was a trap that Mu Qingchen had set up to get rid of others. When she understood this point, her eyes had already become deathly silent. Mu Qingchen, you sure are vicious! C4 Bai Ruo Lan laid on the ground, her entire body covered in blood as she blankly stared at the cold palace beams. She was already suffering from a fate worse than death, but she was still hanging on with all her might. When that person came, she wanted to personally ask him. She did not know how many days had passed, but every day, a dirty, deaf and dumb palace came to deliver food to her. Bai Ruo Lan''s fingers were broken, and she couldn''t move. That deaf and dumb girl forced the food into her mouth and forced her to swallow it down. After a few days passed like this, Mu Qingchen finally appeared. He was caught off guard and silently leaned against the cold palace''s ground. When Bai Ruo Lan saw the bright yellow figure appear, she thought that her eyes had been blinded. She blinked, her eyes fixed on the dreamy face. Mu Qingchen looked at her with a cold and detached gaze. There wasn''t the slightest trace of warmth in his gaze, as though they had never met. Seeing his expression, Bai Ruo Lan remembered what Su Wan''Er had told her. Her heart felt like it was being cut by knives as she hoarsely said: "Why? Why did you do this to me? "Why are you doing this to me?" Mu Qingchen looked down at her from above, his voice extremely cold and indifferent, "Tell me where Mu Qingye is, and I will let you out. I will not pursue any matters of the past, and you can continue to be my queen. "Mu Qingye''s whereabouts? "I don''t know, Your Majesty!" Bai Ruolan looked at Mu Qingchen and let out a mournful laugh. "You don''t know?" Mu Qingchen''s expression instantly darkened, "I thought you would repent, but I didn''t expect you to still protect Mu Qingye. Bai Ruo Lan, do you really think I can''t bear to touch you?" "You can''t bear to part with it?" Bai Ruolan really wanted to laugh out loud. She had suffered so much that it was better to die than to live, yet he actually still thought that he was being merciful to her. "Your majesty, are you sure you''re treating me like this just because you want to know Mu Qingye''s whereabouts?" "What do you mean?" Mu Qingchen looked down at her from above. If I really had feelings for him, then why would I show mercy to His Majesty? After all, Mu Qingye was a legitimate crown prince at the time, and the emperor didn''t favor you as a prince back then. Wouldn''t I have become a fool if I were to abandon the crown prince and choose the unfavoured prince? "This is also what I wanted to ask you. Why didn''t you choose Mu Qingye and chose to be with an unfavoured prince like me? Could it really be because you love me?" The real reason is because you want to be Mu Qingye''s eyes and ears, right? " "I didn''t!" "No," she denied. "No?" "Do you still want to deny the truth?" Mu Qingchen sneered, "I forgot to tell you something. Yuelun Army searched for evidence of a conspiracy in the Prime Minister''s Estate this morning. How do you explain this?" "What?" "That''s impossible!" Bai Ruolan''s intuition told her that Mu Qingchen was using a trick, and this trick was meant to frame the Bai Clan. "Look at this, this is the evidence of your father colluding with Mu Qingye!" Mu Qingchen threw down a letter. When Bai Ruo Lan picked it up and read it, she sucked in a breath of cold air. The contents of the letter was indeed a conspiracy, and the handwriting was also her father''s. It had to be fake! It must be fake! " "Counterfeit? Tell me, what reason do you have for me to forge this letter? Or do you not recognize your father''s handwriting? " "I don''t believe that my father would rebel. Your Majesty, since my father has promised my father, how could he possibly collude with Mu Qingye?" "That''s a good question, isn''t it? "I also find it strange that Bai Xiang decided to marry his most beloved daughter to me and then have a conspiracy with the crippled crown prince. Now, I finally understand, you''re just trying to deceive my chess piece!" Mu Qingchen lowered his head and looked at Bai Ruochen with a cold smile, "It''s just that he made the wrong decision. He didn''t expect that a slut like you would secretly communicate with Mu Qingye, causing his plan to be exposed!" When Bai Ruochen heard those words, she let out a sad laugh. The two of them had never had a relationship before, and it was laughable that Mu Qingchen didn''t believe her. Su Wan''Er was right. It wasn''t that he didn''t believe her, but this had always been his plan. Since it was his plan, what was the use of her explaining it? Looking at the man she had fallen in love with, Bai Ruo Lan couldn''t help but sneer. "Your majesty, the punishment you want to punish me with is unforgivable!" "You dare to deny the truth?" Seeing that she was still able to laugh, Mu Qingchen was enraged. Looking at Bai Ruolan''s gorgeous face, thinking about how she would perform with Mu Qingye''s Qin Xiao and act as a concubine, Mu Qingchen felt as though a knife was cutting through his heart, "You slut, do you think that I am easy to bully?" Bai Ruo Lan''s heart chilled. It''s already like this, what is she waiting for? Could it be that she could only count on Mu Qingchen to discover her kindness and treat her as before? For the sake of the imperial power to balance and slander her innocence, this Mu Qingchen was no longer the gentle and affectionate Mu Qingchen from before. He was the Emperor, and imperial power could not be desecrated. "Your Majesty, this lowly concubine has no intentions of being empress, nor do I care about the position of empress. I only request that, in consideration of how this lowly concubine was infatuated with the emperor in the past, I let the entire Bai family leave and this lowly concubine is willing to give up the position of empress!" C5 "Are you serious?" When Mu Qingchen heard this, his gaze tightened as his voice turned chillingly cold. How many people had their eyes on this new position, yet she had actually said that she didn''t have the heart to do it? Was it because she had feelings for Mu Qingye? Anger made Mu Qingchen grab onto the weakened Bai Ruochen as he spoke between clenched teeth, "Do you really not want the position of Empress?" "Seriously! "As long as the Emperor lets the Bai Clan off, not only can this lowly concubine not take the throne, she can also persuade my father to give up his position. The first ancestor of the Bai Clan will leave the imperial court and live in seclusion in the countryside." Bai Ruolan looked at Mu Qingchen with teary eyes. Only the heavens knew how difficult it was for her to say such words. This was her most beloved man. "What a secluded country! Bai Ruo Lan, are you really impatient to go and look for the crown prince? " Mu Qingchen''s eyes were cold as he looked at her face, he really wanted to strangle him when she said these farewells, "Bai Ruo Lan, even if you become a ghost, you can only stay by my side for the rest of your life! If you want to be with Mu Qingye, then in your next life! No! It''s definitely impossible for us to meet again in our next lives! " Bai Ruolan''s tears rolled down her face like pearls with short strings. She was not afraid of being tortured. The pain was so painful that even her bones could endure. However, she could not bear for him to slander her like this. "I did not! Mu Qingchen, could it be that you were not the one who instigated all of this? " Su Wan''Er said that he was the one behind all of this and he and Su Wan''Er already had children. He was lying on the side of the bed and even allowed others to sleep soundly. For his own selfish desire, he actually wanted to kill so many people. "I was blind, to actually fall in love with someone like you, destroying the lives of several hundred members of my Bai Clan. I truly regret this!" "You finally admit your regret? Slut! You shameless bitch! " When he saw her, he said that he regretted falling in love with her. Mu Qingchen''s eyes were bloodshot and bulging with rage. He forcefully pulled open Bai Ruo Lan''s clothes, and just like that, he pressed the weakened Bai Ruo Lan onto the ground, mercilessly pushing her down. The tearing pain engulfed her entire body, and she was powerless to resist. She could only lie there like a zombie and let him vent his anger on her. While Mu Qingchen was using force, he did not forget to insult her. "Bitch, what is better about Mu Qingye than me? Are you still thinking about Mu Qingye? Wanting to have sex with him? Stop dreaming! I will never let you succeed! " "Mu Qingchen, kill me! Kill me! " She had no strength to resist, much less endure such slander. Bai Ruo Lan''s eyes were empty as she looked at the sky and muttered to herself. "You want to die?" It''s not that easy! I will not let you die. I will let you live, torture you day and night, and also make you watch how I cut off your entire family''s head, including Mu Qingye''s. I want you to see that day with your own eyes! " Hearing his vicious words, Bai Ruo Lan trembled all over: "You are not a human! Mu Qingchen, you''re not a human! " After venting his anger, Mu Qingchen retreated, but before leaving, he viciously told her, "Tomorrow at noon, at the entrance of the market, the Bai Clan will execute everything they have!" Bai Ruo Lan was like a broken child lying on the ground, her lifeless eyes looking at the man she loved to the point of death. The scenes of love from the past surfaced in his mind. His love for her reflected his cruelty and gentleness. Since ancient times, love had hurt others the most. As it turned out, everything before this was fake! She regretted it! She prostrated herself on the ground with a hoarse voice. "Many thanks to the emperor for his agreement. The mountains and rivers will be high in the future. We are willing to never meet again in our next lives!" Her words were so decisive that Mu Qingchen stopped and turned around, his face cold: "Bai Ruolan, you can go and die. After you die, I will let the corpses of hundreds of Bai Family members be placed at the entrance of the market like this, so that their bodies will be scorched by the sun and pecked by birds. "You! How can you be so vicious? " Bai Ruo Lan''s entire body was ice-cold, cold to the bottom of her heart. "Evil?" If you don''t want your family members to die without a complete corpse, you can die! " After throwing down those words, Mu Qingchen strode out and crawled on the ground. As he stared at Mu Qingchen''s heartless back, Bai Ruochen''s tears were like the unending river that had broken its banks! C6 The next day, before noon, Su Wan''er led a few Palace Masters to the Cold Palace. After a few days, Su Wan''er looked even more gorgeous than before. She held onto her waist as she slowly walked around Bai Ruo Lan a few times. "I say, former empress, you''re really lucky!" you''re still not dead? " "Without seeing your retribution, how can I die?" Bai Ruo Lan sat on the ground and smiled coldly at her. "I haven''t seen you for a few days, but your personality still hasn''t changed at all. You''re still so unyielding. "You still can''t escape the fate of being executed by your entire family. Your Bai clan is, in the end, an unruly underling. Today, blood will flow like a river at the entrance to the market, and hundreds of poor members of the Bai Clan will perish under the blade ¡­" Su Wan''Er paused for a moment, then coldly looked at Bai Ruo Lan: "And all of this was caused by you, Bai Ruo Lan. You caused the death of your family, how can you still continue to live?" Bai Ruo Lan''s heart was broken into pieces by her words. Su Wan''er was right, she was the culprit behind all of this, she was the one who loved the wrong person, and it was she who created this situation today. She, as the culprit, deserved to die. But she couldn''t die. If she died, who would collect the corpses of her parents and brothers, the members of the Bai Clan? Mu Qingchen was so vicious. If the corpses of several hundred members of the Bai Clan were left on the streets to be exposed to the scorching sun and the birds and birds pecked at them, how would she face her parents and descendants in the future? She was going to die, but she would have to wait until her parents were settled before she could die. Seeing that Bai Ruo Lan didn''t respond to her words, Su Wan''er seemed to have not expected that this proud and arrogant girl who would rather be disgraced than have her words shattered. What was the reason for her words today? Could it be that the Emperor promised her something? When she recalled that the palace maid had mentioned that the emperor had visited Bai Ruolan late last night, she couldn''t help but mutter in her heart. Just as he was deep in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A court lady came rushing in and shouted from afar, "Esteemed Empress! Something has happened to the Empress! " "What is it?" Su Wan''er asked in a stern voice. "This servant just heard that the Bai Xiang family committed suicide in jail!" "Is that true?" A hint of joy flashed across Su Wan''Er''s face. They were all going to die, so it didn''t matter to her whether the Bai Family was beheaded or killed. "Are you serious? The entire Bai Clan committed suicide by consuming poison. When the guards found out, they were already dead. His Majesty Long Yan was furious and was about to set off for the Celestial Prison ¡­" Before the maid could finish her sentence, there was a loud sound and Bai Ruo Lan fainted on the ground. When Bai Ruo Lan woke up, it was already the afternoon. The setting sun shone down on the dilapidated palace gate like blood, causing it to be dyed a bright red. She struggled to sit up, disregarding the weakness of her body, and wanted to tiptoe outside. Two brawny guards stood by the door, and when they saw her, they held out their hands to stop her. "Without the emperor''s permission, the Empress cannot take even a single step out of the palace!" "I want to see Mu Qingchen!" I want to see Mu Qingchen! " Bai Ruolan desperately tried to walk out, but the guard reached out and pushed her broken body to the ground. She crawled on the ground and muttered to herself, "I want to see the emperor. I want to see my parents and brothers one last time!" "Niangniang, please behave yourself. The prime minister is committing suicide in prison because of his rage. If you disturb him now and anger him, it won''t be a good thing!" Bai Ruochen paused for a moment. If Mu Qingchen lost his temper and insulted her father and her brother''s corpse, she would be dead for sure. She weakly sat back on the ground and looked lifelessly out of the palace door. Bai Ruolan sat there for several hours. As night fell and a strong wind blew outside, the person she had been waiting for finally appeared. Mu Qingchen, who was wearing a cloak, broke through the door with a chilling air. Looking at Bai Ruolan who was sitting on the ground, he sneered, "I heard you want to see me?" "I beg the emperor to let this lowly servant see my family one last time!" Bai Ruolan slowly knelt down. Before yesterday, she called herself concubine, but today, she became a lowly servant. Hearing her call herself Mu Qingchen''s eyes tightened, her voice chilled to the bone, "What if I don''t agree?" "I beg the emperor to let this lowly servant see my family one last time!" Bai Ruo Lan once again kowtowed heavily against the green brick floor. She exerted all her strength, and with a peng sound, that sound struck Mu Qingchen''s heart. His heart actually couldn''t help but tremble. Bai Ruochen did not continue to see him kowtowing mechanically, instead, Mu Qingchen abruptly stretched out his hand to support her head. Blood dripped profusely from her forehead, and she was badly mangled. C7 Seeing her current state, a flame rose in Mu Qingchen''s heart. He held her head and coldly said, "Bai Ruo Lan, if you want to seek death, I won''t stop you. I''ll immediately order the Bai Clan to send a whole family of corpses to Caishikou as an example to everyone!" Bai Ruolan''s body trembled, the dead silence in her eyes had mostly disappeared. She looked at Mu Qingchen and muttered, "What are you going to do? "What are you going to do?" "Bai Ruo Lan, if you want to die, you''ll have to wait until you''re bored. Although you''re a ruined flower, Gu Ruoyun is still a little interested in your body." Mu Qingchen gently caressed her face, "Pleasing me. If you want to please me, I might just let you go." As the sound of her voice faded, Bai Ruochen abruptly stretched out her hand, taking off her tattered dress. Looking at Mu Qingchen''s reckless appearance, a fire rose in Mu Qingchen''s heart, and pushed her down to the ground. That night, they kept on pestering each other until the sky turned white. When Mu Qingchen left, Bai Ruochen did not know. Her body was filled with a cold and oppressive aura, and it was weak to begin with. After being ravaged like this for an entire night, she unexpectedly fell ill. It was said that the sickness came like a landslide, and Bai Ruolan''s illness lasted for several days. When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she saw a dilapidated roof. She struggled to sit up, and a hand reached out to support her. "Empress, you''re awake?" When Bai Ruolan looked over, she saw that it was her personal maid, Mei Xiang. She was slightly surprised to see Mei Xiang, "Why are you here?" "The Empress has been in a coma for the past few days. It was the emperor who sent this servant to take care of her." "How many days?" Bai Ruolan''s heart sank. "What day is it today?" "Sixth day of the new year." Sixth day? That is to say she has been in a coma for seven days? She didn''t know how Mu Qingchen had dealt with the bones of her family. Filled with anxiety, she struggled out of her bed, "I want to go see the Emperor. I request that he allow me to see my parents one last time!" Mei Xiang''s hands were quick to support her. "The Empress scared this servant to death, please don''t move recklessly. If you were to be angry with your baby, this servant would have acted as if she was from the emperor''s side." Fetal Qi? "Your majesty has been unconscious for several days and hasn''t woken up yet. The emperor has just announced that the imperial physician has come to treat you, and the imperial physician says that you''re pregnant, esteemed imperial concubine." "Is this true?" Bai Ruo Lan couldn''t believe it. "It''s true!" Mei Xiang nodded. She was actually pregnant? Bai Ruo Lan placed her hand on her stomach and smiled bitterly. This child really came at the wrong time. In the entire Bai Clan, she was the only one left alive. She had a blood feud, and it was all thanks to Mu Qing Chen. What should she do? At Changchun Palace, Su Wan''er was lying on the soft couch, holding a cup of tea. As she was about to drink the water, she heard the report and her hand trembled. How is that possible? " "The imperial physician has already confirmed that the empress has been pregnant for a month." She only recovered in an instant and asked, "That slut is unchaste, does the emperor not suspect that she was pregnant with a bastard?" "The emperor naturally doesn''t believe that the child in her stomach belongs to the emperor, so he summoned the divine doctor to treat it. The divine doctor''s date is accurately calculated, and the emperor believes that the child in her stomach is a dragon ¡­" "Damn it!" Su Wan''er''s eyes were filled with seriousness. He had planned everything and thought that she would die for sure, but he didn''t expect that she would be pregnant with a dragon. With the protection of a prince, it would not be so easy to take her life. He had to think of a way. C8 The white banner floated in the air, the corpses of the Bai Clan''s men covered in white cloth were placed in the main hall. Mei Xiang carried Bai Ruo Lan into the main hall. Upon seeing this desolate scene, she couldn''t hold on any longer. She crawled on her knees for a long time, from the door to the place where the corpse was parked. When she lifted the white cloth, she saw her parents'' kind face. Mother! It was all Lan''er''s fault! Lan''er regretted it! Lan''er is so regretful! " Mei Xiang knelt beside her with tears streaming down her face. "Niangniang, you better not fall down! Young master, you still need to send them to their deaths!" These two words reminded Bai Ruo Lan that she was the only one left in the Bai family. No matter what, she had to ensure that her parents would be safe. She dried her tears and looked at the eunuch that Mu Qingchen had sent, "Eunuch Wang, I want to be the guardian of my parents and brothers tonight. Please pass on your words to the emperor, I ask for your permission!" "This servant will pass on the words of the Empress!" In the end, Mu Qingchen agreed to let her keep watch over her relatives for the night. Night fell, and Bai Ruolan knelt in front of the spirit hall to burn the paper money, showing even more weight. With the flickering of the white candle, she added paper money into the brazier in front of her with a sorrowful expression, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, Second Brother, you guys have made a safe journey, Lan''er has let you down! We''ll meet again in the next life! " As she mumbled, she started to shed tears. It was unknown how long she had been muttering, but she suddenly felt that the surroundings had become unusually quiet. She abruptly turned her head and was shocked to find that Mei Xiang, who had been kneeling beside her, was actually lying on the ground. She reached out to push Mei Xiang. "Mei Xiang!" Mei Xiang, wake up! " She smelled a delicate fragrance that made the world spin, causing her to lose consciousness as well. "Lan!" "Lan!" As gentle calls echoed in her ears, she slowly regained consciousness. Why was this voice so familiar? When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a handsome face. She took a step back in shock, "Big Brother Ye? Why are you here? " "Lan, don''t be afraid!" Mu Qingye''s eyes were filled with love as he said, "I''ll take you with me!" "Take me away? "Why are you taking me away?" "Because I love you? "Lan''er, how can I abandon you like this?" "Love me? "Brother Ye, you ¡­" Bai Ruo Lan looked at Mu Qingye with a face full of suspicion. Mu Qingye had always been her best friend, and he also knew her feelings for Mu Qingchen. But now, he actually said that he loved her? " How was this possible? How is that possible? " "Lan''er, it''s true. I love you. I''ve always loved you. I won''t let you be tortured by Mu Qing Chen like this. Lan''er, come with me!" "Go?" "Where are you going?" Bai Ruolan shook her head, "I''m not coming with you!" "Lan, don''t tell me you don''t want to see your parents, brother, and other relatives?" "Didn''t my parents and brother die already?" "They didn''t die. I knew that Mu Qing Chen would make a move on them, so I specially went to the Exquisite Hand Godly Doctor to ask for a fake death pill to numb Mu Qing Chen. Now that they have been taken away by my men, Lan''er, you will be in danger if you stay. Come with me!" "I don''t ¡­" Lan''er Mu Qingchen is no longer the same Mu Qingchen from before. He doesn''t love you, and he loves Su Wan''Er, so he married you just to let Bai Xiang support his ascension. Now that his goal has been achieved, think about what he did to your family. Mu Qingye''s words caused Bai Ruo Lan to be shocked. Mu Qingchen loved Su Wan''er, he and Su Wan''er were already together. Their child had already been together for more than four months and yet he was still so heartless to her. As he was deep in thought, the sound of footsteps could be heard from afar. Mu Qingye''s expression changed, "Lan''er, Mu Qingchen''s men have arrived. Follow me quickly!" "I ¡­" "Lan, it''s too late. Come with me quickly!" Mu Qingye stretched out his hand to pull at Bai Ruo Lan anxiously. Both of her hands came into contact with each other and a look of surprise appeared on Bai Ruolan''s face as she abruptly flung Mu Qingye off, "Who are you? If you aren''t Big Brother Ye, then who are you? " C9 The exposed man sneered, "Of course I''m not your brother Ye, but Bai Ruo Lan, you''re going to die right now, hahaha!" She laughed and raised her voice, "Take care, Lan`er!" The moment she saw the white figure soar into the sky and disappear into the boundless night sky, Bai Ruolan widened her eyes as she looked at the disappearing white figure. Before she could figure out what was going on, Mu Qingchen''s eunuch, Wang Gong, appeared with the imperial guards in front of her. "Eunuch Wang ¡­" "Empress, if you have anything to say, say it to Viva! Take him away! " A servant kneeling under the table said, "This servant smelled a strange fragrance and lost all consciousness. When I woke up, General Bai''s corpse had disappeared without a trace, and the Queen had also disappeared without a trace. Eunuch Wang had brought guards to search everywhere, and this servant specially returned to the palace to report this to the Emperor!" "The empress disappeared without a trace?" Mu Qingchen used his hands to prop himself up, word by word coming out from between his teeth. "Find it for me!" Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find the empress! " "Yes sir!" The guards had just retreated to the door when they saw Eunuch Wang and the imperial guards returning with Bai Ruo Lan. "What''s going on?" Mu Qingchen gritted his teeth as he looked at the pale-faced Bai Ruo Lan. "The empress has disappeared. This old servant brought the imperial guards to search for her and found her in a small house in the garden behind the white statue." "Just discovered the empress?" "Also ¡­" And there''s still one more person who looks like the crippled crown prince who escaped! " Elder Wang lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Qingchen. A deathly silence reigned in the imperial study. A long while later, Mu Qingchen''s voice rang out, "Bai Ruolan, what else do you have to say for yourself?" "It''s not like that... "Didn''t the emperor ¡­" "No?" Bai Ruo Lan, do you still want to pretend after what has happened? " Mu Qingchen''s gaze turned cold, "What excuse are you giving your parents to guard the village? Your real intentions are to have been colluding with Mu Qingye to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, right?" "I did not... The Emperor, wasn''t Mu Qingye! That person from before was not Mu Qingye! He was a fake, and when I found out he ran away. " "You actually still want to argue!?" "Bring the plum blossoms!" Mei Xiang was picked up and thrown onto the ground as soon as Mu Qing Chen finished speaking. She crawled on the ground as she cried, "Empress, why didn''t you leave? Why didn''t you leave with the crown prince according to plan? " "Meixiang, what nonsense are you spouting?" "You''re still pretending even at this time?" Mu Qingchen sneered, "Bai Ruolan, the crown prince was disguised as a human. Can you tell me why your brother''s corpse disappeared without a trace?" "Flee without leaving a trace? "How could that be?" Bai Ruochen''s face was filled with fear. That person wasn''t Mu Qingye just now. It was obvious that what he said to her was false. But now, Mu Qingchen was sure that her big brother''s corpse had disappeared. What exactly was going on? "Tell me what''s going on!" Mei Xiang crawled on the ground. "Empress, you are really muddle-headed. Why did you come back? Why didn''t you leave with the Crown Prince and the eldest young master? The eldest young master has always faked his death, waiting for the crown prince to come rescue him. "Feigned death?" Bai Ruo Lan shook her head, "That''s not it. That person isn''t Mu Qingye, he really isn''t!" Seeing that Mu Qingchen was about to deny it, a loud sound came from the side. She turned her head and saw Mei Xiang lying on the ground, blood slowly flowing out from the corner of her mouth. "What a loyal dog slave, he actually committed suicide!" Mu Qing Chen looked at Mei Xiang, who had stopped breathing, with a sinister look in his eyes. "Bai Ruolan, what else do you have to say for yourself? Do you really think that your Bai Clan colluding with Mu Qingye is a lie? " Bai Ruo Lan could not say a word, how could it be like this? His big brother''s body was nowhere to be seen, and Mei Xiang had committed suicide. Could it be that the Bai Clan had colluded with Mu Qingye? Was this a conspiracy, a heinous crime of extermination? As the cold source approached, Mu Qingchen reached out a hand to seal her collar. "I will give you one last chance to tell me Mu Qingye''s whereabouts. If you don''t mind, I''ll let bygones be bygones, or else ¡­" "Your Majesty, this lowly servant really doesn''t know ¡­" "Good!" Good! "Alright!" Mu Qingchen spat out three words in succession before throwing Bai Ruochen aside and turning around to leave. When he reached the entrance, he heard a cold voice, "Empress Bai Ruolan, you have done nothing wrong. From today onwards, you shall abolish the title of Empress and submit it to the Punishment Division for punishment!" C10 "What?" Is it just going to be sent to the Hall of Punishment for punishment? " Su Wan''er immediately stood up. The man nodded. "Empress, the emperor is really defending Bai Ruolan. He''s already like this, and he still can''t bear to kill her." "The harem has never been without examples of turning the tables in desperate straits. As long as Bai Ruolan doesn''t die, she will have the chance to do so. We can''t wait any longer, we have to kill her! Only those who are dead will shut up!" Su Wan''er tightly gripped her handkerchief as a cold light flashed across her eyes. At the Hall of Punishment, Bai Ruolan fainted after torturing herself. When he woke up, he was lying in the ice-cold dungeon. His entire body was in pain, and even moving his body felt painful for his organs. The lower part of his body was sticky, and his small abdominal pain was at its peak. There seemed to be something between her legs. She stretched out her hand to touch it, as if she had touched something that had taken shape. It seemed to be a human form. The frightening sensation made her let out a cry of shock. Hearing Bai Ruo Lan''s scream, one of the guards rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the door with the candlestick in hand. Under the dim light, he was able to clearly see the situation in the cell. He was astonished. In less than an hour, the news of Bai Ruochen forming her next infant had spread throughout the palace. Mu Qingchen sat up, dressed in his clothes, with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. After hearing the great eunuch Wang Zhixiang''s pleasant report, the young Sovereign King''s hands started to tremble uncontrollably. "So you''re saying... "So you''re saying that the son of the Bai Clan is not mine?" "According to the date ¡­" "The Bai clansmen can''t give birth to children ¡­" Wang Jiexi didn''t dare to look at Mu Qingye. He could only lower his head and speak like a mosquito. According to the time of day, it''s impossible for Bai Ruo Lan to produce a baby, "Bitch! "Slut!" Mu Qingchen''s eyes were filled with rage as he let out a heavy breath, "Immediately bring Godly Doctor Miracle Hand over to this Emperor!" "Long live the Exquisite Hand Godly Doctor. He left the palace yesterday afternoon on the pretext of something and has not returned since!" "What?" Mu Qingchen clenched his hand into a fist as his knuckles cracked. "Fake death medicine!" Misdiagnosis of a formed fetus as term! It was obvious that this was a premeditated plan. He had thought of letting her go! He had thought of letting her go! But Bai Ruo Lan, not only did she betray him, she even treated him like a monkey. This is simply going too far! Mu Qingchen''s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His voice carried a chill and hoarse tone, "Pass on the fact that the criminal woman, Bai Ruolan, did not follow the path of a woman and was deceived by the sovereign. Her punishment is extreme punishment ¡­" The Great Eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe. Mu Qingchen paused for a moment, and then struck the bedside with her palm, "Flap the skin and pull the tendons! I will skin her and pull out her tendons to quell the hatred in my heart! " He spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt in front of the bed. "Long live!" Wang Xie wiped away the blood on his face as he saw Mu Qingchen''s large body fall backwards. He shouted with all his might, "Imperial Physician! Quick, Imperial Physician Xuan! " Hearing that the emperor had vomited blood and fainted, Su Wan''er rushed to Mu Qingchen''s chambers with the support of a palace maid. The empress dowager had also arrived with a mama, and the two simultaneously arrived at the emperor''s chambers. "How is the emperor?" The imperial physician slowly got up and kneeled down, "Long live the rage that assaulted the heart. This subject is currently treating you!" "How can this be? Wang Xie was happy, while the emperor was in a coma! Before passing out, tell This Dowager what you said! " The empress dowager looked at Wang Jiexi with a dignified expression. Wang Xie Xi kneeled on the ground: "Long live... "Long live ¡­" While Wang Jiexi was still hesitating, the eunuch, Little Shun, who was standing by the side, immediately answered, "Reporting to the empress dowager, I only fainted because I heard that the sinful woman, Bai Ruo Lan, had given birth to a child in prison. This servant heard the emperor say that Bai Ruo Lan acted against the emperor''s will, and was unpardonably punished with the extreme punishment of stripping and cramping!" The empress dowager and Su Wan''er looked at each other: "Even so, you''re still not following the imperial edict?" "Esteemed Empress Dowager!" Wang Jiexi''s face was filled with fear. "Your Majesty ¡­" Your Majesty ¡­ He''s angry, that''s not what he meant. Let''s wait for the emperor to wake up before making his decision! " "You dog of a slave, the Emperor has already spoken. You still dare to hide the Holy Will from the Emperor? Come, drag Wang Xie down and hit him 40 times!" A few court ladies filed in and dragged Wang Xie away happily. The empress dowager raised her voice. "That Bai Ruo Lan is deceiving the emperor, so she should have been punished long ago. Since the emperor has already spoken, what is the point of waiting? "Little Shun, pass down my dictum that if Bai Ruo Lan doesn''t follow the way of a woman, she will be sentenced to death by flicking her skin and twitching her tendons. Immediately after that, execute her sentence!" C11 Inside the dungeon, a guard roughly pressed Bai Ruo Lan to the ground. Little Shun Zi expressionlessly stood at the door and announced, "Your majesty has ordered that if Bai Ruo Lan disobeys his majesty, if she disobeys a woman, the punishment will be extreme punishment. The punishment will be to flick the skin and pull out the tendons immediately!" "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I am innocent! " Bai Ruo Lan raised her head, her eyes filled with fear. "Unjustly accused? It''s already this late and you''re still shouting about injustice. Don''t you think it''s too late? " A voice sounded out from the entrance of the dungeon, and Su Wan''er came out from behind Little Shun Zi with the support of her personal maid. "It''s you!" "Why are you here?" "I came to see how you got skinned and cramped." Su Wan''Er looked at Bai Ruo Lan and sneered, "Bai Ruo Lan, ah, Bai Ruo Lan, you said that if you had been willing to be a little more straightforward back then, then a stick of white silk or a cup of wine would have been enough to release you. "You wicked woman, what did you say to the Emperor?" "I did not say anything to His Majesty. It''s all because you did something wrong. Look at you, if you want to steal from me, then steal from me. Why are you pregnant? And you even gave birth to a vile creature. How can you allow the Emperor to preserve his dignity? " "I did not! You framed me, didn''t you? " "Aren''t you stupid?" Su Wan''Er smiled coldly, "Bai Ruo Lan, actually, there''s no meaning in living. The entire Bai Family is already dead, and living is already torture for you. Why not accompany them underground? The entire Bai Family can be considered as reunited!" "Poison woman!" Su Wan''Er, you wicked woman, even if I become a ghost, I won''t let you go! " Bai Ruo Lan desperately tried to pounce towards Su Wan''Er, but she was stopped by the jailer. The corner of Su Wan''er''s mouth curled into a sneer, and she glanced at the prison warden beside her: "What are you waiting for? Immediately execute him! " With a wave of Su Wan''Er''s long sleeves, a few imperial guards who were like wolves and tigers came forward and tied her to a pillar while dragging Bai Ruo Lan. Su Wan''er covered her mouth and nose as she turned around to vomit. Behind her, the shrill scream of Bai Ruo Lan came from the cell, accompanied by her resentful curses: "Good and evil will eventually be avenged, Su Wan''er, on the Road to River Styx, I''ll be waiting for you!" It was already the next morning when Mu Qingchen woke up. The person waiting by his bedside was the eunuch, Little Chun. He immediately opened his eyes and called out, "Wang Jian Xi!" "Long live Eunuch Wang. He has yet to return to the palace with his decree!" "Proclamation? "What orders?" "Long live yesterday when in a coma, he passed down the dictum that he wanted to flay the sinful woman, Bai Ruolan, and pull her tendons. Eunuch Wang went to the prison to pass on the long live dictum." Little Shun Zi lowered his head and replied. "What?" What did you say? " Mu Qingchen instantly sat up, "How many hours has he been there?" "Yesterday night at Chou hour!" Mu Qingchen''s face turned pale white, "Quick! Someone, take over the Celestial Prison! " An hour after Mu Qingchen arrived at the Sky Prison, a dark, musty smell permeated the corridor. Accompanied by the musty smell of blood, he staggered forward with a terrified expression on his face. Ignoring the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Mu Qingchen shook off his followers and ran forward. The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger as he passed through the cells until his eyes became bloodshot. The blood was red to the eyes, stinging people''s eyes, as if it was still steaming hot. However, the surroundings were still very quiet, with only the sound of his footsteps and those of his retainers. Mu Qing Chen''s heart sunk. In an instant, he felt as though his feet were weightless, unable to move a single step. He could only support himself against the wall as he panted heavily. Behind him, little Shun Zi quickly rushed up and supported Mu Qing Chen, who slowly walked to the entrance of the prison. He saw a bloodied person tied up in the middle of the prison, and fresh blood was dripping off her body drop by drop. The two jailers had a piece of human skin in one hand, while the other was picking out the tendons in that person''s limbs with a sharp knife. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the prison guard turned around and saw Mu Qingchen standing outside. The two of them were so frightened that they immediately kneeled down: "Long live, long live, long live!" Mu Qingchen''s gaze landed on that badly mutilated body, he felt dizzy and his vision turned black. If it wasn''t for Little Shun Zi supporting him, he wouldn''t be able to stand anymore. Prison guard crawled on the ground, "Long live the criminal, Bai Ruo Lan''s execution is over! "This is the skin of a sinful woman ¡­"
