Chapter 252 - 104: The Wrath of a Fair Beauty (Part 4)
"Pfft," a snickering sound came from the direction of the wall, but at this moment, no one pursued who had made the sound.
Lie Changshun’s face turned a mix of black and red, extremely embarrassed.
Lie Rou’s almond-shaped eyes widened, her steps staggering, and she let out an involuntary burp from the alcohol.
Smelling the alcohol, everyone understood that this usually timid and compliant woman had drunk alcohol today to bolster her courage.
Whether it was the effects of the alcohol or pent-up frustration, Lie Rou pointed her jade-like fingers at each person before her.
"A pair of aged deceivers. My mother died miserably, my father went mad and fled; the schemes you orchestrated behind the scenes are intolerable by heaven,"
"You old hag, knowing full well I refused to remarry, yet you still pushed me into the fire pit, truly unworthy of the title mother,"
"General Tianwei, where is your heavenly power? My father once said, General Tianwei is nothing but a dog slave thrown up by the Royal Family using Elixir Pills,"
"Fa Family brothers, one of you indulges in debauchery with the Consort, the other is ungrateful and treacherous; with the Fa Family like this, Shang Kingdom is sure to perish."
"Guards, seize this troublesome woman, chop her to death with random slashes," commanded Fa Xiaoyun, a monarch who had never before been publicly insulted like this, his rage surging instantly. In his haste, he even forgot that the heavy palm strike was the secret signal he had previously agreed upon with the palace guards.
As the heavy slap landed, the crowd suddenly saw flashes of blades as guards, disguised as guests, drew their swords and surrounded Fa Xiaoyi and the others.
The moon was high in the sky, and the candles used for the Heaven and Earth ceremony dripped with red wax.
