Everyone present, including Pei Xiner, couldn't help but take a breath and feel chilled after hearing this.

The emperor's vengeful nature is clearly revealed in these few sentences. This ambitious emperor cannot tolerate any betrayal. No matter who he is or how long he has been with him, once he commits a certain amount of betrayal, it is an unforgivable sin.

, no one can be an exception.

The concubine who has been with him for many years is like this, let alone outsiders!

Pei Xiner couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart and lowered her head so that no one could see the solemnity in her eyes.

The emperor's temperament can be regarded as a painful disease for all those in power. Especially the more powerful those in power, the less they can tolerate the betrayal of others. The betrayal of someone close to them will be more intolerable to them, because it is against them.

A naked challenge to authority, if you let one go, what if someone else follows suit in the future?

Concubine Rong was so desperate that she could not speak. She had been with the emperor for a long time, and she knew what kind of temper he was. Since she said such words in front of everyone, she would definitely do it.

In other words, she has no physique!

But death with a stick? That was the punishment for dealing with people. How could she, a noble concubine, endure such humiliation? Even if she died, she had to maintain her honor as a concubine and not become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone at the last moment.

So she had no choice but to throw herself at the emperor's feet, weeping bitterly, and begged: "Your Majesty... I know that my sins are serious, and I dare not ask the Emperor for extra mercy... I just ask the Emperor to give me some dignity and let me live in peace."

Go ahead...even if it's for Princess Rongjia's sake..."

A trace of disgust flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he kicked her away and said angrily: "How can you have the face to ask me for mercy? How can you have the face to mention Princess Rongjia?! If you have even the slightest concern about my face,

, if you are concerned about Princess Rongjia, you shouldn’t do such a dirty thing. At this point, what’s the use of begging?!”

Concubine Rong was stunned, feeling cold all over her body. Before she could speak again, she heard the emperor's loud instructions: "Come here, take away the title of concubine from the Wan family. Drag her out of the atrium and kill her with a stick! Order the concubines of the Sixth Palace and the palace people.

Everyone goes to watch the punishment and serve as a warning to others!"

There was a "boom" in Concubine Rong's head, her vision went dark, and she fainted. Two chamberlains came forward, not caring about her life or death. They grabbed her hands and walked out. At this time,

The other women in the palace, including the queen, all looked unhappy.

Pei Xin'er couldn't help but sigh in a low voice in the side hall - the emperor was deliberately killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, as a warning to others!

The Empress Dowager has lived in the palace for a long time, and she must have penetrated more people in the palace than Concubine Rong, but she may be the highest-ranking one. The emperor is reorganizing the harem in order to prevent similar things from happening in the future.

To inflict a psychological blow on those informants of the Empress Dowager who may not be that important, killing Concubine Rong with a cane in public was really the best way to do it, and it was not considered "cruel".

However, this also fully exposed how cold and hard the emperor's heart was. For his throne and power, nothing could not be sacrificed, so what about his woman? Even if he gave birth to a child, once his power was touched,

With his status, no one can make an exception for him. Even if he dies, he must die in a way that can benefit him the most.

Pei Xin'er had mixed feelings in her heart, and she couldn't help but become more wary of the emperor. But what if she was wary? He is the emperor. He is the supreme being in the world. Does he need any reason to want to die alone?

She smiled helplessly and was immersed in her own thoughts. She did not see the queen in the main palace follow the emperor's order and go out with the concubines and palace people to watch Concubine Rong's execution.

The emperor did not follow him. Naturally, he did not need to watch Concubine Rong's death with his own eyes to alert himself. He waved his hand, and the people around him retreated knowingly, while he himself slowly approached the side hall and walked around.

He passed the screen, but did not come closer. He only looked at her quietly from the side, lost in thought.

It's strange to say that she doesn't have any glamour, she is much worse than the other women in the harem, and she is the mother of two children, so she is really ordinary. There may be some men in the world who have the power to win.

Married woman's hobby is not his, so it seems that there is nothing about her that deserves his attention. But...

After a long silence, he saw that she still didn't seem to notice his arrival, so he coughed twice and said softly: "I said I would give you a satisfactory answer. What do you think of this result?"

Pei Xiner suddenly woke up, and then she realized that the emperor had walked in without knowing when. He was standing by the screen, staring at her intently. She was startled, stood up hurriedly, bowed and saluted.

: "When women from the common people see the emperor, long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

He walked over, helped her up personally, and said, "No need to be polite. I just said, are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Pei Xiner lowered her head and felt that he was standing less than an arm's length in front of her. She could even feel his breathing and the warm breath on his body. She couldn't help but feel confused for a moment and backed away hastily.

However, he held her hand, making it impossible for her to retreat.

"Your Majesty..." She was a little flustered and shouted softly, struggling to pull her hand back.

The emperor did not let go at all, no matter how erotic the two people's postures were at this moment, he just looked for the answer: "Answer me, are you still satisfied with the answer I gave you?"

Pei Xiner gritted her teeth and suppressed her thundering heartbeat. Seeing that he wouldn't let go and she didn't dare to struggle too much, she had to answer his question first, so she said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that he can find out the evildoers so quickly.

, It is truly destiny, and the women of the people respect it. The decision made by the emperor is naturally a good one, and the women of the people have no objections."

The emperor stared at her intently for a while, and then slowly let go of his hand. Seeing that she instantly took a few steps back as if she had been bitten by a snake, widening the distance between them, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

My heart sank, I looked down at my hands, and suddenly I felt an empty place in my heart.

He frowned slightly, forcing himself to separate himself from this inexplicable feeling, slowly walked to the main seat, sat down, and asked: "When I came in just now, you were so focused on things that you didn't even bother me to come.

I didn’t even realize it. What on earth were you thinking about?”

Pei Xiner calmed down and felt that this way of getting along was much better than the one just now. Although she had to face the emperor's majesty directly, giving people an invisible sense of oppression, it was still much better than the helpless one just now.

She still lowered her head and said calmly: "When I came back to the emperor, the commoner woman didn't think anything of it."

The emperor gave a cold voice and said: "You know it without telling me, do you think I am too ruthless? Concubine Rong has been with me for so many years and gave birth to Princess Rongjia for me. There is no credit but hard work.

Even a glass of poisonous wine and a piece of white silk are better than being killed by a stick. Is this what you want to say?"

Pei Xiner opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, but in the end she just sighed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, a common woman cannot say that she has not thought about it this way. However, a common woman also knows that some things cannot tolerate being merciful. If everyone

Just like Concubine Rong, if such an 'unintentional mistake' occurs, it will be extremely harmful to the emperor and his great cause. If Concubine Rong can be spared, everyone in the palace will be wary.

If you dare to take a step beyond this, you will save the lives of more people and make the emperor and his cause more stable."

The emperor couldn't help but look at her and took a deep look at her, trying to judge whether what she said was flattery or words from the bottom of his heart. He saw that her expression was straight and generous, and there was no trace of embarrassment or fear in her heart.

I couldn't help but relax inside, and a slight smile appeared on my face.

"I know that Xin'er is the most considerate woman, and she will definitely understand my good intentions." He said, ignoring Pei Xin'er's head suddenly raised because of his address to her, her eyes widened, and slightly

After a pause, he continued, "Human beings are not plants, so how can I be ruthless? Why don't I want to spare her life? What's more, I know her character. Although she is a little reckless and domineering, she is not able to lay out such a big picture.

I also know that she still has some sincerity towards me, and she can't do anything close to treason. But so what? The Wan family has taken refuge in the empress dowager. This is indisputable.

The fact is that she has a bad mind and was set up by others to be ignorant. However, I still cannot completely subdue the Queen Mother and cannot touch her openly. For the sake of the stability of the harem, I can only give up on her."

It took Pei Xin'er a long time to recover from the call of "Xin'er". She was so flustered that she wished she could escape from the palace immediately. At this moment, she could only suppress her mind and try to calm down and said: "This

...In the disputes in the court, the women dare not say anything... Everything the emperor does is carefully considered, and naturally he has his own reasons. The women admire him very much, but the emperor is just following his lead." At this point, he hesitated.

After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and knelt down and said respectfully, "Congratulations to the emperor for removing the nails in the harem. Everything in the future will be smooth sailing and will be successful immediately. Now that the matter is over, the common woman is brave enough to ask the emperor to be kind and let the common woman go home."

Go. The peasant woman has been away from home for a long time, and she is really worried about the situation at home, and she is even more worried about the children at home. I haven’t seen the peasant woman for many days, and I don’t know how she will cry and fuss."

Although she was in the harem, she was also aware of the extent of the emperor's control over the palace. She had been detained and not allowed to go home. Maybe it was not the queen's idea at all, but the method of the man in front of her.
