Chapter 176: The Good Show
ounded, looking at the scattered paintings on the ground, her mouth wide open in astonishment.“It’s only polite to return favors, right How can I not be sincere” Su Qingying neatly stacked the scrolls...But seeing her face turn pale inch by inch, and obvious panic and anxiety flashing in her eyes, Su Qingying's smile deepened. In the depths of her phoenix eyes, a cold light flashed, and murderous intent surged.
Season, it's really you!
"Haha! How is that possible Your father is delighted beyond measure. To have his children from the East Mountain, come here, Yinger, sit beside your father." Su Chengming laughed heartily and waved for her to come sit beside him.
As soon as these words were spoken, a hush fell over the court. All the civil and military officials looked at each other in astonishment, their expressions instantly turning grave.
Throughout history, which prince or princess has been fortunate enough to sit on the dragon throne with the Emperor This fifth princess is truly extraordinary! It seems the heavens of Dongyue are about to change.
"Well, here we go." Below, the civil and military officials had various expressions, but Su Qingying was indifferent. She smiled sweetly, holding onto Su Chengming's arm, and leisurely sat on the dragon throne.
Just as the banquet was about to draw to a close, suddenly, an extremely painful and terrified cry pierced the air, completely silencing the music playing at the feast, "Ah!"
"Who is making such a racket in the side hall" The voice was too shrill, causing everyone present to startle. Su Chengming, however, frowned unpleasantly.
"Ah! Help!" As soon as Su Chengming's voice fell, that mournful and painful sound came again, seeming to come from the side hall not far away!
This is a recipe for disaster!
For a moment, the drunken revelry of all the civil and military officials vanished. They all sat upright with grave expressions.
"Come, see who is making such a racket in the side hall!" Su Chengming was genuinely annoyed by this jarring sound. His imposing and weighty voice implied anger.
"Ah! Ah! No! Help!" However, before the guards could receive orders to investigate, that heart-wrenching voice rang out again, causing everyone present to shiver with fear.
"Father, this sound seems to be in great pain. I'm afraid someone is going to die. We should go take a look." Estimating that the medicine was about to wear off, Su Qingying hurriedly took Su Chengming's arm and suggested, her pretty face faintly revealing a trace of fear.
“Well, let me see who is behind these shenanigans!” Su Cheng patted her hand soothingly and stood up from the Dragon Throne. Leading all the civil and military officials, he strode towards the front hall, a group of people rushing to the side hall.
Ji Yanger trailed behind the massive crowd, anxious as an ant on hot coals. The handkerchief in her sleeve was almost crushed by her grip, and her face was as white as paper.
Following the intermittent screams, the crowd arrived at Su Qingying's side hall. Su Chengming's face was so gloomy it seemed like rain could fall from it. Just as he was about to order someone to open the door, suddenly, a naked figure scrambled out, tumbling and rolling all the way to their feet in a pitiful state.
"Ah! Help! Save me!" The woman, completely naked, had disheveled long hair. Her body was covered in bruises, and on her left chest, a large chunk of flesh had been savagely bitten off, leaving a bloody wound that made many people cover their stomachs and vomit violently.
Su Qingying narrowed her phoenix eyes, feeling that the woman looked very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Just as Su Qingying was deep in thought, from the side hall came another bare-chested figure, pinning down the woman and biting and gnawing at her.
"Ah! Heavens, you are... Second Brother!" Su Qingying was stunned. She knew there was a man in her side hall, but she had never imagined it would be her half-brother, Emperor Su Huai Tian!
They are half-sisters! Su Huai Tian actually set his sights on her! He's worse than a beast!
Thinking of this, Su Qingying only felt a strong nausea in her heart, and the murderous intent in her eyes rose unabashedly.
This man, he's dead!
"Ying'er, don't look, it's filthy." Su Ziyi hurried forward to shield Su Qingying behind him, blocking her view. His usually warm and handsome face was now flashing with fury, wishing he could dismember Su Huai Tian into a thousand pieces right then and there!
"How could this be How could the Second Imperial Brother be in my side hall" Su Qingying hid behind Su Ziyi, her voice trembling slightly, as if frightened.
"Luckily, Princess, I'm glad you didn't return to the side hall just now, otherwise...this servant wouldn't dare to think about it! It was too terrifying!" Xier obviously thought of something too, afraid and angry at the same time.
"How could this be! Traitorous son! What on earth are you doing!" Su Chengming was furious and kicked Su Huitian hard in the stomach.
"Father, Father Emperor How did you get here" Su Huantian was kicked over by Su Chengming, the pain in his back making him gasp. His senses cleared instantly, and seeing the imposing presence of everyone, he almost fainted.
"How did I get here Humph, how could I have seen all these despicable things you've done if I hadn't come You're so bold! To dare do such a heartless and reckless thing in Ying'er's side hall, you're quite capable, aren't you" Unconvinced, Su Chengming kicked him viciously several times again.
Suppressing the bloody taste rising in his throat, Su Huitian disregarded the pain on his body and scrambled to kneel before Su Chengming, “I...Father Emperor, it's not like that, please hear me out, my son was framed, someone must have drugged me, Father…”
"Bebé! Is it Bebé" Before Su Huitian could finish his sentence, Jiang Beibi's father, Jiang Ninghou, suddenly shouted, hastily taking off his outer robe and draping it over her. "Bebé, my daughter! How did you become like this"
Seeing Jiang Beibi's tragic appearance, covered in blood, Jiang Ninghou's old eyes moistened. She was still a lively and lovely girl before the banquet, how could she become like this in the blink of an eye How could he not feel heartbroken
Is she Jiang Beibei
Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.
How is Jiang Beibi even in my side hall Did she secretly follow us here
Well, no wonder! You did this to yourself. Jiang Bebe, this time it's your own fault, I can't blame myself for it.
"Help, help, help...hehe..." On the other side, Jiang Beibi was wearing Jiang Ninghou's robe, her long hair was messy, she tilted her head, drool dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she giggled idiotically.
"Baby" Marquis Jiangning had never seen her like this, and immediately panicked, "Baby What's wrong with you It's father, you don't recognize your father anymore"
"Hee hee, hee hee..." However, the only response he received was Jiang Beibei's vacant and deranged giggle.
"Bebé, my poor daughter! Your Majesty, as an old man I only have this one daughter. Now she's been frightened by the second prince to this point of foolishness. I implore you, your Majesty, to seek justice for my little girl." Seeing his beloved daughter in such a state, Jiangning Hou was instantly overwhelmed with tears. Thinking of Su Huai Tian's actions towards his daughter, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
"Rest assured, Lord Jiang. I will definitely give you a fair judgment." Su Chengming comforted Jiang Ninghou's emotions, then looked at Su Huantian with even colder eyes. "Come here, from today onwards, strip this rebellious prince of his title, demote him to commoner status, expel him from the capital city, and forever forbid him from entering the palace!"
The moment the words were uttered, a wave of astonishment rippled through the entire audience. clap her hands.“...." Among the onlookers, Zhao Tianyu felt quite sympathetic towards him and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.Su Qingying's words were like arrows, piercing Shangguan Jingh...
