Chapter 411: Chapter 411 My Job is Done
Chapter 411: Chapter 411 My Job is Done
The Western Chu Emperor was so shaken by the few flute notes that his brain buzzed, and he almost fainted.
In a panic, he exclaimed, “Xiyang, for the sake of Western Chu, you must dare to be responsible!”
Feeling the immense pressure, the princes once again persuaded her.
“Yes, Xiyang, listen to Father’s words, just admit it quickly!”
“Xiyang, just say it, do you want to kill us all!”
“….”
Under the intense pressure from the Western Chu royal family, Qin Lingwei finally broke down and spoke amidst sobs.
“Wuu wuu… When this princess went to Longnan County Government, wuu wuu… nothing happened with Zhao Xiyan…”
“Hold on…” Qi Yue snorted coldly, “Princess Xiyang, please wipe your tears. When you packed yourself in a box and presented yourself as a gift to my husband, you didn’t cry. Now acting like this, as if I forced you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the officials’ families and aristocratic women began whispering among themselves.
“Ah, how can it be said? The princess packed herself into a box?”
“Yes, she presented herself as a gift to Zhao Xiyan, didn’t she?”
“Heavens, the dignified Princess of Western Chu, how shameless?”
“Wasn’t it said before that it was Zhao Xiyan who abducted her and had his way with her?”
“She even called Miss Qi a fat pig before! She clearly just wanted to force Zhao Xiyan to marry her!”
“No wonder Miss Qi traveled thousands of miles to come here; Princess Xiyang is really too bullying!”
“…”
Qin Lingwei recounted the events before completely collapsing on the floor.
At that moment, the aristocratic women and officials’ wives suppressed their joy, but their radiant faces still gave them away.
But they couldn’t be blamed.
It was all Qin Lingwei’s own doing.
On any given day, Qin Lingwei trampled over their heads.
Whoever looked a bit prettier or dressed up a bit nicer had to be extra careful not to outshine Qin Lingwei, lest she mistreat them.
Even the noble girls’ choice of husbands had to be those whom Qin Lingwei looked down upon.
Although previously Qin Lingwei was set on marrying Zhao Xiyan, she hadn’t spared the young nobles of Yindu from her torment.
Mainly, she picked on those nobles who were already engaged, causing destruction.
But who could do anything to her? She was the most prestigious princess of Western Chu!
However, after this incident, Princess Xiyang’s reputation was utterly ruined.
Let’s see how she has the face to humiliate others now.
The air was charged with a strange, excited atmosphere, and the noble women all cast admiring glances at Qi Yue.
They all wanted to know what Qi Yue would do next.
The Western Chu Emperor sighed silently and asked, “Miss Qi, now that the first matter is settled, can we perhaps forgo the second one?”
Qi Yue was about to answer with a slight smile when Qin Zhong Yu suddenly stood up.
“Qi Yue, do not be too aggressive! You have already ruined Xiyang, isn’t that enough?”
Qi Yue scoffed disdainfully.
“Princess Xiyang brought her destruction upon herself; what does it have to do with me? I am merely returning what she did to me… Since she bullied me, she should be prepared to pay the price.”
Hearing this, Qin Zhong Yu nervously guarded Qin Lingwei.
“Regardless, I will not let you harm her!”
“…” Qi Yue glanced at the Western Chu Emperor, beginning to understand why the father and son were so anxious.
They were afraid she would take Qin Lingwei’s life!
Indeed, her second request was a bit vague.
She smiled slightly, nonchalantly saying, “Prince Yan, you are overthinking. Since Princess Xiyang has already made things clear, I naturally will not harm her, but… something else must take her place as punishment.”
Hearing that Qi Yue would not take Qin Lingwei’s life, the Western Chu Empress and Qin Zhong Yu visibly relaxed.
The face of the Western Chu Emperor also eased considerably.
After all, Qin Lingwei was the Princess of Western Chu; if Qi Yue really took her life or maimed her publicly, how could the Western Chu royal family ever face anyone!
“What would Miss Qi like to substitute instead?”
Qi Yue stood there, pointing her hand toward a towering corner in the southeast.
“Zhucui Palace!”
Upon hearing this, the Western Chu Emperor was taken aback.
“What does Miss Qi Yue want with Zhucui Palace?”
Qi Yue slowly curled her lips, “Of course, to destroy it!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately started discussing again.
“Does Miss Qi Yue mean to destroy Zhucui Palace as a substitute punishment for Princess Xiyang?”
“It seems that’s the idea!”
“How would she destroy it? Could it be by burning it down?”
“I’m afraid not, these halls are connected; it would easily start a fire all over.”
“…”
The crowd’s discussion was also the Western Chu Emperor’s question.
Agreeing to these two conditions from Qi Yue had already been his limit.
If he had to destroy his entire Imperial City to get Qi Yue to stop, then he would be too disgraceful as the Western Chu Emperor.
This was absolutely unacceptable for him!
He silently glanced at a hidden spot outside the hall and nodded secretly.
The leader of the Imperial Guards had already arrived with eighteen Imperial Bodyguards.
If Qi Yue really became too greedy, he would not hesitate to resist!
“I wonder how Miss Qi Yue intends to destroy Zhucui Palace?”
Qi Yue took out a black stick-shaped object from her sleeve and generously showed it to everyone.
“This is it. As long as His Majesty agrees, my second request can be immediately fulfilled, and everyone can go home.”
The Western Chu Emperor was a bit confused.
Truth be told, Western Chu’s intelligence agencies had researched Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan and knew they always had some surprising elements.
Like a hot air balloon, those round, dark spherical objects that could explode and kill people when thrown.
But he had never heard of this one before.
This little thing, almost the size of one’s thumb, what could it do?
“Miss Qi Yue, since that is the case, please go ahead…”
Suddenly, he paused, his aged face full of wrinkles suddenly turned serious, even chilly.
“…Miss Qi Yue, Zhucui Palace is yours, but I also have a condition, other places must not be damaged!”
Qi Yue arched her lips and smiled.
“Of course.”
Everyone nervously watched the distant Zhucui Palace, curious about how Qi Yue planned to destroy such a massive palace.
Only to hear a thunderous explosion that made the people in Penglai Pavilion feel the window lattices tremble and the floor beneath them shake.
The air was violently agitated, nearly causing the delicate noblewomen to lose their balance.
Fortunately, the loud noise did not last long, and when everything calmed down, they looked at Zhucui Palace again, only to find that the towering corner of the building had disappeared, replaced by thick smoke.
Seizing this opportunity, the Western Chu Emperor’s Imperial Guards rushed into Penglai Pavilion, blocking the entire terrace and staring intently at Qi Yue.
Qingzhu instantly took a protective stance, ready to fight fiercely.
Yet Qi Yue remained nonchalantly composed.
Soon, uninformed palace servants came running, reporting that Zhucui Palace had suddenly collapsed.
The Western Chu Emperor immediately called someone over to inquire in detail.
Upon learning that only the main hall had collapsed and that there were no other damages, not even a single person was crushed to death, he was at a loss for words.
Instantly, everyone’s attention refocused on the black stick-shaped object in Qi Yue’s hand.
“I saw it, right before Zhucui Palace collapsed, Miss Qi Yue pressed that black object.”
“What is that, something that explodes when pressed?!”
“How frightening, it won’t blow us up too, will it!”
“….”
While discussing, the crowd anxiously watched as Qi Yue tossed the remote control up and down in her hand.
Finally, with a “snap”, Qi Yue dropped the remote control on a nearby table, slowly stood up, and casually glanced at the Imperial Guards securing Penglai Pavilion.
