Chapter 306 – Male Concubines and Mistresses (22?

The joyous atmosphere that originally surrounded the princess royal residence was now surrounded by the imperial guards in black armors. Afterwards, the troop moved to two sides, making room Su Man riding a black handsome horse wearing black armor and looking coldly.

“Imperial sister, I’m really upset that you didn’t tell me you were going to get married.”

Su Man’s cold gaze landed on Su Wan’s face and she uttered this gradually. The common people felt pressured and all got on their knees.

“Paying respects to Your Majesty!”

While the common people all got on their knees, the princess royal residence’s people all stood up tall and arrogant.

Su Wan glanced at the paled-face Su Man quietly and said, “Your Majesty returned and you didn’t inform me either.”

Su Man carelessly swept her phoenix eyes over the imperial guards and then her gaze landed on Chi Xueyuan and Liu Xuan in the end. “Your Majesty has brought prime minister Chi and Liu over, as well as so many imperial guard brothers. It doesn’t seem like you’re here for my wedding banquet.”

“Heh.”

Su Man sneered. “It’s all due to prime minister Chi and Liu’s help that I narrowly escaped death. I’ve found the true culprit behind the assassination now. I’m going to personally arrest them!”

“Oh?”

Su Wan couldn’t help but smile faintly at Su Rui. “Husband, Her Highness is here to arrest the traitor. Ah. She’s not here to arrest you is she? I’m terrified!”

“Heh.”

While smiling, Su Rui patted Su Wan’s shoulders as if comforting. “There are many loyal officials here. Rebels and traitors?...I really haven’t seen any of them yet.”

Saying this, Su Rui turned to look at Su Man and asked, “So who is the true culprit?”

“Who? Military officer Feng, don’t you know? Naturally...it’s the princess royal by your side, Su Wan!” Su Man’s gaze landed on Su Wan and looked at her sharply.

Yet, Su Wan acted as if she didn’t feel the gaze. She still smiled at Su Man. “If you want to arrest me, show me evidence first. Your Majesty, this is all your assumption. I’m a traitor? Well, I’m saying that the prime minister Chi and Liu behind you are traitors!”

“Princess royal! Her Majesty has obtained evidence of your attempted rebellion. You don’t need to try to obscure the facts anymore.”

Chi Xueyuan couldn’t help but add. While saying this, she shifted her gaze to Su Rui. “Cousin, don’t be fooled by the princess royal. Feng Family has been a loyal family to the imperial family for generations. As long as you’re willing to abandon the princess royal and turn to our side, then Her Majesty will forgive you for your mistakes!”

“Her Majesty is brilliant and intelligent?”

Su Rui couldn’t help but sneer. “May I ask Your Majesty what the so-called evidence is? The common people of the capital are all here. If there’s really evidence, then show it! Let me see too!”

“Your Majesty!”

At this time, a white silhouette stumbled out of the princess royal residence. Yue Qing’s face was pale and he looked anxiously at Su Man sitting on the horse. “Your Majesty, the princess royal would never rebel. Please investigate this clearly!”

“Yue Qing, you’re finally willing to show yourself?”

Su Man’s expression turned colder upon Yue Qing’s appearance. “Back then, I was almost nearly murdered. Yet, you don’t know martial arts and were able to somehow escape. How? And how did you show up at the princess royal residence too? You’re my husband. Yet, you colluded with the princess royal and betrayed me. You...really deserve death!”

Deserved death?

Seeing her emotionless eyes, Yue Qing was shook. Sorrow flickered through his face before he exclaimed, “Your Majesty, is this how you have been thinking of me?”

“Am I not right? Now that it has come to this point, what are you still trying to quibble about? I have the evidence and witness. You dare say that you don’t like the princess royal?”

Su Man stared at Yue Qing’s face, her tone turning colder and colder.

Yue Qing smiled faintly and turned to look at Su Wan. “Su Wan, Her Majesty is right. I...do still like you. I regret my decision. I regret not treasuring our relationship.”

He suddenly realized that his feelings for Su Man was a joke.

He loved the intelligent and brilliant Su Man, not the ruthless and cold-blooded monarch.

He treated her as his everything but in her eyes, he was just a dispensable spoils of war.

“I hope to find someone...to grow old together with...”

A sharp arrow penetrated Yue Qing’s chest.

His snow-white robe was dyed scarlet. His face was pale and the light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Hope to find someone he loves and grow old with them.

Su Man gradually placed the bow down and exclaimed, “Everyone that betrayed me all deserve to die. My men are no exceptions.”

“Heh. Hehe.”

Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh. “Your Majesty is quite formidable. Good job! Great killing! What’s the saying? Karma will serve those who deserve it. If you haven’t been punished, that means your time isn’t here yet. Back then, when Yue Qing betrayed me, I wanted to kill him too. You’re the one that stopped me from killing him. Your Majesty, you finally got rid of this ungrateful man for me. It puts me in a great mood!”

However, Su Wan looked at Yue Qing’s corpse in dislike. “Unfortunately, I’m supposed to get married today. A corpse in front of my princess royal residence is inconspicuous.”

Su Man’s gaze flickered seeing that Su Wan didn’t dare about Yue Qing’s death in the least bit. “Imperial sister, you’re quite cold-blooded. Yue Qing did so much for you and up until death, you’re still scared of admitting your relationship with him?”

“Me and him? He’s your man. Are we not brother-in-law and sisters?”

Su Wan waved her sleeves and someone from the princess royal residence immediately came to take Yue Qing’s corpse away. “Your Highness, let’s not beat around the bush. Why are you trying to blame this on me when I haven’t even done anything? If you really have evidence, then show it to everyone. Right?”

“Right!”

“Right, show us! Show us the evidence!”

“We want to see the evidence!”

It was unclear who started chanting this in the crowd but the common people all agreed.

The princess royal was sensible and didn’t care about fame or reputation at all. How could she possibly be a traitor?

Within the crowd.

Lou Ning carefully tugged on Lou Xiaoxiao’s sleeves. Master, grandfather, you’re my actual grandfather! They’ve already charged over so why are you still standing here and watching the show?

You even dare to lead the crowd in chanting! Are you not afraid of death?

Seeing everyone being stirred, Su Man sneered as if she had expected this. “You want evidence right? Bring Asura over!”

Asura used to be the leader of the imperial shadow guards. The court started permitting men to be court members so he left his position as an imperial shadow guard leader and entered the court to become an official. He was the pillar.

Right now, Asura was still wearing his third-rank palace official uniform but he looked sallow. He was brought over to Su Wan.

“Princess royal!”

Asura looked deeply at Su Wan before getting on his knees. “Princess royal, this subordinate is sorry! Your Majesty, this subordinate is also sorry! This subordinate shouldn’t have lied in front of Your Majesty or frame the princess royal. But...Lord Liu and prime minister Liu, they...they forced this subordinate to do so!”

W-what? Everyone froze after hearing Asura’s words.

“Nonsense!”

Liu Xuan’s voice rang coldly but he still acted calmly. He gazed at Asura with an icy haze. “You think that you can protect your master by breaking your words? Guards! Take him down for now!”

The two guards were about to walk ahead when Su Rui suddenly unsheathed the double-edged sword from a guard. He leaped into the air and aimed the sword straight at Liu Xuan’s chest.

A strong dangerous atmosphere and the feeling of death loomed over Liu Xuan.
