Wei De looked at Zhai Tianyu with mockery in his eyes, his lips curled up derisively before he spat coldly, ” Your majesty sure knows how to speak such flowery words, the second your aunt found out that I was a eunuch, she cursed me to die and go to hell. You say that woman loved me even though I was flawed? Please kill me instead of making fun of me like this.”

Zhai Tianyu did not get agitated at all, he was a man who has seen many schemes throughout his life. He knew that Wei De had this crazed obsession to prove that he was smarter than the rulers of this imperial city and even though he feared pain, he did not fear death. Maybe when he came up with this plan, he was already prepared to die which was why Zhai Tianyu knew that killing was not the way to deal with Wei De.

He wanted Wei De to regret his actions and the killing of the innocent he has done in his anger and blind revenge. He breathed lightly before he parted his lips and started speaking coldly, “As I told you, lord Wei, do you believe that you can fool a princess with that broken body of yours? My aunt already had a good idea that there was something wrong with you, her visiting every imperial physician and hearing that she was completely fine and that there was no problem with her body, her having the knowledge of what happens between a man and woman when they get married. With that knowledge alone she might already have a good idea that something was wrong with your body.”

” But she unconsciously denied it because she loved you or maybe she knew that you were not the man who she thought you were but she was willing to ignore the odd things that were related to you because she was in love with you,” Zhai Tianyu finished speaking as he coldly stared at Wei De whose face was turning pale with each word that he was saying out loud. ” You were busy scheming against her and she was busy trying to make excuses for you. A woman who accepted your flaws and would rather take on the blame of not having a child on herself, do you think any woman would love you this much ?”

” Even when the imperial physicians were telling her that she was completely fine and asked her to bring you to the imperial palace for a check-up, did she ever ask you to come to the imperial palace with her?” Zhai Tianyu coldly threw this question in front of Wei De and the man who has been sneering till now could no longer say anything, all he did was look at Zhai Tianyu while he tried to think of a way to come up with an explanation of Zhai Chenguang’s actions but no matter how many times he thought about it, he could not come up with any excuse.

Zhai Chenguang looked at the man who was kneeling on the floor with a pale complexion and pursed her lips. She would be lying if she said that she never doubted Wei De, she did ——countless times but she was willing to ignore it, thinking that as long as he love her then she did not want anything else. Not even a child, but even though she knew it, she unconsciously ignored it all thinking that the man with whom she was in love can never be a man who was going to stab her in the back.

Only if she has been a bit wiser than that then she would have survived this scheme that was laid in front of her.

Wei De did not say anything and Zhai Tianyu did not speak any further, he turned to look at Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun, his expression heavy as he said, ” Deal with that as every criminal of the imperial family is treated as, there is no need for you to take them lightly or even think of who they were before you found out the truth.”

.....

As he finished speaking Ren Wei who was kneeling on the floor hurriedly raised his head and looked at Liu Hui Ying who was walking outside the room alongside Zhai Tianyu and shouted in panic, ” But you promised that you will let us go! You will pardon us with an easy death and won’t drag this matter of killing us too far.”

Zhai Tianyu paused, his hands crossed behind his back as he slowly turned to look at the man who was sitting behind him on the floor and then calmly said, ” He might have promised you but the same cannot be said for me, I did not promise that I will let you go easily. And since I am the Emperor, my word is the law.”

” Is he saying that my word doesn’t count even though I am Empress?” Liu Hui Ying muttered under her breath causing Zhai Tianyu lips who was standing next to her to twitch as he looked at her sideways and then whispered, ” Your word of course counts my queen but currently you are not dressed as the Empress and..” he paused and asked, ” Do you want to let these people go?”

” Of course not,” Liu Hui Ying scoffed as she turned on her heels and glared at the men who were kneeling on the floor. ” They do not deserve any pity at all.”

She already knew that men were not trustworthy but now that she was looking at these two men, her feelings of hate towards men only got deeper even further.

Zhai Tianyu did not know that his road to chasing his wife got even more difficult because of these two men if he knew this then he would have never let these two men go as easily as he was doing right now.

” You three will be punished according to the imperial law, be grateful that your Emperor is willing to leave your bodies a grave each to rest in, take it as the last mercy from me.” With that, he swept a glance at the three people and then turned around to leave.
