Chapter 1729 “Yun Ruo Xi’s Beating (3)”
In this moment, Xu Ying shed beads of tears as she gazed up at the very man whom should’ve protected herself. She’s truly hurt by the twist of event.
How can he treat me like this… and over another woman like that Yun Ruo Xi too!
“Guards, take Xu Ying away to a cell. She’s to be executed at a later date.”
This order struck the second madam hard like a thunderbolt, sending her whole body shuddering as a cord snapped in her mind. In her panic-stricken haste, she clings onto the man’s leg to plead: “Husband, I know I’m wrong, please, I know I’m wrong! Please don’t put me in a cell, please…. I won’t dare do it again.”In light of his own beloved concubine begging himself, this Monarch ruthlessly kicked her aside like some sort of filth. Not only that, his voice now sounded cold and distant similar to that of strangers: “What are you bunch still waiting around for? Drag her away and execute her immediately!”
When he pampers someone then he could treat them like a gemstone; however, no one was allowed to get in between his own interests! Imagine this woman actually killing Yun Ruo Xi with this incident, what then? He would lose his chance at becoming a True Celestial!
“Yes, Monarch.” Two of the guards near the exit hurriedly ran over. They didn’t show any mercy in the way they handled the crying madam.
Mere moments later, there were no longer anymore crying or pleading, only a loud snapping sound and an eerie calm hanging over the air and all the tensed souls in this garden.
“Bring Yun Ruo Xi down from there and take her to the back wing of the manor. She can recuperate there. Also, send some of my personal attendants to oversee her recovery and safety, I do not want to see another event like this today, understand?!” The man roars, his voice reaching all of the estate like a booming sound box for its occupants.
He’s always been like this, doing as he please and discarding those he deemed useless or unfit. This also holds true for Yun Ruo Xi in this case. Sure, he has use for her still, but his gaze never once fell upon the lady or that scarred face. Why? Because she’s not worth his effort to do even that. All she’s useful for was to be a sacrifice to further his own goal, nothing more and nothing less.
The old witch didn’t notice the lack of attention though, the lady’s so tired that she could barely open her eyes due to the exhausting of the pain.I knew it, His Monarchness has fallen for me…. Otherwise, why else would he kill his most beloved concubine for me?
Don’t be mistaken though, Yun Ruo Xi doesn’t like the man in the slightest, not even a sliver. However, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy being wooed by powerful individuals. Basking in the glory has always been her thing.
These guards naturally aren’t aware of the vile witch’s inner thoughts and dutifully carried out their order of carrying the injured woman to the back wing. They also brought a healer over to treat her wounds without delay.
……..
After everyone left, Yun Ruo Xi laid atop of the bed and mindlessly stared up into the ceiling beam, her fingers slowly moving across those scars on her cheeks.
“Haha, the Monarch’s appearance can’t be compared to Di Cang and Chu Yi God, but his strength and background is beyond theirs. Such a man is protecting me, HA! Bai Yan, I am once again able to step on your face again, you will always be the loser before myself!” After murmuring that to herself, she sneered and cackled a laugh: “Just you wait, it won’t be long before I go back with such a man by my side. You will fall over in jealousy after seeing me, just like how I gazed at you in the past…”
