Chapter 551 - A Mole Under Her Navel (2/2)

“Whoever falsely accuses a member of the royal family will be hacked to death and their family of nine generations will be put to death.” Feng Yuxuan’s cold eyes were filled with sinister anger. Ma Er was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud.

It, it seemed that the punishment was severer than being put to death with one stroke.

“Tell me, who asked you to frame me.” Ling Rui’er stood out and demanded Ma Er angrily. She hated the person in front of her. Of course, she hated the person who had asked the man to frame her even more. “As long as you tell me who the mastermind is, I might even ask His Highness to spare your life.”

“I, I…” Ma Er looked around anxiously for the n.o.ble. The n.o.ble said that as long as he made it big, the beauty and wealth would belong to him. But what was going on? Why was there a prince and his wife, as well as the Empress above?

This was a big sin that would cause his family of nine generations to be executed. Although Ma Er had no immediate family, he still had a few cousins, who had always been nice to him. He would cause them to die with him. Besides, he would be punished to be cut into pieces. He had witnessed a person being cut off piece by piece and cried for 10 whole days until he died. At the thought of that miserable scene, he felt trembling all over. He might as well be beheaded. At least it was fast.

Consort Su, who was sitting high on the seat, suddenly opened her mouth and asked, “Who are you looking for, Ma Er?”

Following her voice, Ma Er looked up and saw Yan Miao, who was being pulled to her side by Consort Su. He shouted hurriedly, “Miss, Miss, please save me quickly. You asked me to hide behind the screen over there and peep at Her Lady to change clothes. You also asked me to remember the features of her body and said that I could marry her in this way. Why don’t you come out and speak for me now? I did what you ordered.”

At the sight of Yan Miao, Ma Er seemed to have seen his lifesaver and immediately shouted loudly.

All of a sudden, everyone’s gaze fell on Yan Miao, who had been pulled out from behind the Empress by Consort Su. It turned out to be the Empress’ personal lead palace maid behind the scene. They were all stunned. How could it be the Empress? Was it the Empress who wanted to frame Ling Rui’er? It made no sense because they were both from Ding General Manor. How could the Empress hurt Ling Rui’er?

However, a few young ladies, who had always been bullied by Ling Rui’er, had sensed the key point of the matter. As a lady from Ding General Manor, Ling Rui’er had often bullied others; she once shocked the horse of a young lady and caused her to break her legs. A few of them murmured when they heard what Ma Er had said.

“She was really seen, and so clearly.”

“This time Consort Chu is really…”

“So there is a mole under Consort Chu’s navel. I thought he was talking nonsense.” Feng Yuxuan’s face darkened again when he heard their talk. He looked at the ladies sharply and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything else. When a woman’s body had been seen by a man, it meant that she was no longer chaste.

Ling Rui’er shook in anger and clenched her fists tightly. However, instead of aimed at the young ladies who were gossiping, she was aimed at Yan Miao. She knew that Yan Miao was the main reason.

Yan Miao was pushed down by Consort Su and heavily fell on the ground in front of Feng Yuxuan and beside Ma Er. For a moment, she couldn’t even get up. The moment Ma Er showed up, she was in a panic. All kinds of fear welled up in her heart. She raised her head and looked at the Empress who was high above with imploring eyes, only to see the fierceness in the Empress’ eyes.

“Yan Miao, what’s wrong with you? Who asked you to frame Consort Chu? I always regarded you as my family and never doubted you. I didn’t expect that you dared to do such a vicious thing behind my back. You want to frame my niece. Do you know the penalty for that crime? Tell me the person behind the scene immediately so as not to suffer a lot of physical pain.”

Yan Miao looked at the Empress in despair, her fingers shaking so much that she could not calm down. How could she not understand the Empress’ intentions? She still had family outside the palace; they were still in Ding General Manor. She would definitely die this time, but she could not implicate her family. Furthermore, she knew very well the punishment in the palace, and the painful feeling could make life worse than death.

The Empress had pushed her out and asked her to bear all the consequences!

All kinds of emotions welled up in Yan Miao’s heart, but she knew that at the moment, she had to die.

“Miss, save me. Please save me.” Seeing Yan Miao, Ma Er quickly reached out to pull her. He held her hand and pulled her up while shaking her. When he saw that there was no vitality in her squinting eyes, he was even more fl.u.s.tered.

“Your Majesty, it’s all my fault. I did it alone because I was beaten by Consort Chu the last time she came to the palace. I bear a grudge against her, so…” Yan Miao answered with a bitter smile on her face when she was kowtowing to the Empress. She quickly took out a needle from the corner of her clothes and quietly removed the cover of it. Then she stuck it into Ma Er’s palm before she clenched it in her hand and let the needle pierce her palm…

It was a poisonous needle from the Southern Barbarian Lands!
