Chapter 1157 - 264: Nine Heavens’ Lady_6
From ancient times to the present, few truly fear not the spirits and demons, and once Pei Qin’s name is confirmed as that of a demon, her days will be numbered!
Pei Wendong, with tears of rage incessantly falling, turned and looked at the common people below, "My elder sister, though a woman, for the sake of national justice, disguised herself and joined the army, killed enemy troops, repelled the Wa Ci, and recovered our lands! Subdued the Rong Clan and expanded the territory! When Prince He Qing forced the palace in rebellion, it was my elder sister who protected the Imperial City, supported the current Emperor’s ascent to the throne, quelled the rebellion, and stabilized the Imperial Court! And now, because of the absurd words of shameless villains, they want to kill my elder sister! They want to kill the loyal and good general who helped him ascend the throne! Dare I ask, has my elder sister become too prominent for her own good?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Bing and others’ faces changed drastically, chastising Pei Wendong, "Do not incite the populace into chaos! Otherwise, you cannot escape a disastrous fate!"
"A disastrous fate? My elder sister is falsely accused of being a demon and is to be burned alive in public, does our family even have a way to survive?" Pei Wendong loudly challenged.
"This..." The men could not answer, as the Emperor had not instructed how to deal with the Pei’s siblings.
At this moment, an eunuch came forward with a decree, stating that Pei Qin was a demon of troubled times, a disaster to the nation, and she was to be executed by Master Duxu who would drive out her demonic spirit. The Pei’s siblings were unaware and deceived by the demon, but upon realizing, they could save their lives.
A glaring threat. If they did not make a scene, after Pei Qin’s death, those left would live. Otherwise, they would die with Pei Qin!
Pei Wendong was about to incite further public grievances, but Chang Yonglin held him and shook his head at him.
