Chapter 1385 “Come On Their Own (11)”
“You betrayed me!” Mu Xue lashes out after finally noticing the timid faced maid that’s been standing there further in the back. It’s pointless to keep acting at this point because she knows everything has fallen apart.
No wonder, now it all makes sense. She betrayed me, this Red Leaf betrayed me and sold me out to this woman!
Ignoring the glares of immeasurable resentment coming out of her brother’s kidnapper, Red Leaf comes forward on her own and bangs that head against the floorboard: “Sire, I am a criminal and a sinner. Mu Xue kidnapped my younger brother and used him to threaten me, forcing me to kidnap the little princess so that she can have a chance to become your consort. I know my crime cannot be atoned with mere words, but I implore Your Majesty to save my little brother, he’s innocent and have nothing to do with this! I only have him left in my family!” The more stressed Red Leaf became, the more the tears came pouring out of those eyes.
If at first she didn’t know the purpose of Mu Xue wanting to kidnap the little princess then she definitely knows now after seeing the situation. The witch didn’t want to kill the baby girl at all, she wanted to use the child to frame the queen and make the king become enraged! By then Mu Xue would use this opportunity to find a place in the palace and become the next queen, or at minimal a consort! Such a ridiculous plan has no future, Red Leaf could see that. It’s a path doomed to failure and only the most insane and senile would dare pursue.“Move aside.” Giving this order was none other than Bai Yan who had finished cuddling her own daughter. The demon guards of course responded right away, which they did by spreading into a open line to allow the family to come forward.
“Do you know that Ling Yan is my daughter, the princess of the demons? Considering what you’ve tried to do, me ordering you to be skinned alive and beheaded wouldn’t be a outstretch of my authority!” The second she said that was when she strikes.
Boom!
Mu Xue couldn’t hold back her screams then as the incredible level of pressure came crushing down from above the head.
“Don’t think you’re all that Bai Yan!” Gritting her trembling teeth, Mu Xue refuses to yield: “You’re nothing but a human. If not for the fact that you gave birth to three of the king’s children, he wouldn’t even bat an eyelash at you!”
Practically yelling now like a mad crazy fanatic, “You have a heart of poison that’s polluted with jealousy. The king only wants a consort, yet you used your belly’s unborn baby to threaten him by running away. He’s a man, and a man deserves to have multiple wives. It’s bad enough you won’t find consorts for him as your duty requires, now you’re interfering with his wish!”
