Chapter 489: Joke
eyes, she didn't seem out of the ordinary.The more tranquil this state was, the more uneasy Ye Fan felt inside."Aunt...""Alright, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner. You haven't eaten all day…"..."Such a despicable woman, how could she be worthy of being my concubine She shall be punished with the severest penalty - to have her heart ripped out! All those surnamed Wu shall be exterminated down to the ninth generation!" With his imperial decree, the entire Wu clan was wiped out, leaving not a single survivor. Blood flowed like rivers...
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Mid-Autumn Festival, a day of family reunions, it was also the first month since Emperor Shang Li Tian, the new ruler of the Southern Dynasty, ascended the throne. Chen Fei, the favored concubine who had made great contributions to the court, was eagerly awaiting an imperial decree that would bestow upon her the title of empress. However, what she received instead was a revoked edict!
A hasty proclamation, Phoenix Hall, corpses littered everywhere. The palace, once resplendent with gold and jade, was stained a crimson red, the air thick with the stench of blood!
"Your Majesty, the one you wish to kill is your servant. Please spare her humble life for her aging parents!" Wuchener knelt before Shang Litian's golden boots, pleading desperately.
"Today, none of you will leave this place alive!" A voice as cold and merciless as hell poured from Shang Litian's mouth.
"Your Majesty!" A delicate voice suddenly came from the doorway, and Ye Ziqing, as beautiful as a sickly Xishi, walked in gracefully.
"My beloved!" Shang Litian instantly transformed from his previous icy demeanor, a face full of tenderness as he approached, supporting Ye Ziqing to sit down. He then roared at the maids beside them, "You have such audacity! To bring Your Highness to this place!"
Ye Zi hastily stretched out her delicate little hand to stop him: "Your Majesty, please don't blame them. It was I who came here!" Her gaze shifted to Wu Chen'er kneeling on the ground: "No matter what, Chen'er is my good sister. Moreover, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu once treated me like their own daughter. Both out of affection and reason, I should come to see them off for the last time!"
Her voice was extremely soft, like a pear blossom in the rain, making people feel pity upon hearing it. Shang Litian even stroked her with heartache.
However, Ye Ziqing's voice sounded to Wu Chener like a demon's whisper! If it weren't for this 'good sister,' how could she, Wu Chener, have fallen into ruin and even implicated her nine clans in their demise!
"Your Majesty, please look at my life of service to the country and let me die in their place!" Wu Chen'er's father, Wu Siwen, also repeatedly kowtowed to Shang Li Tian, even bleeding from his forehead!
"If you command your subjects to die, they have no choice but to obey! Tianming, don't make a move yet!" Shang Litian remained unmoved, his words lacking any warmth.
"Your Majesty, this old minister only asks for them to be allowed to die..." Before he could finish his words, a sword gleaming with cold light slashed towards his neck. Blood splattered instantly, and his unfinished words came to an abrupt end!
"Master! Master..." Liu wanted to rush forward, but she only managed halfway before Ye Tianming's sword was already at her neck. She didn't even have time to let out a whimper before she followed her master into the afterlife!
"Father! Mother!" Ye Tianming was the first warrior of Shang Country. His sword was so fast that by the time Wu Chener regained her senses, both her parents were lying in a pool of blood. No matter how she called out, they could no longer hear her voice!
The pain of genocide, the tragic death of her parents, all stemmed from the man she once loved most deeply, and the best friend she had once considered family! Wuchen'er felt as if her body and soul were being torn apart, a pain that was unbearable.
“Your Majesty, as your wife, my parents are also your parents. How could you be so heartless Ye Ziqing! Ye Tianming! My parents treated you like your own flesh and blood, yet you repay kindness with enmity! Don't you fear retribution from heaven” She roared at them, preparing to pounce on Ye Ziqing!
