145 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” is guilty
by“In colluding with the deposed emperor, how many heads does the prime minister think he has to lose?” Xie Ciyan’s expression was serious, and his tone was no longer as lazy as before, but Yan Huai in front of him was already immersed in the glory he imagined, and she was even more sure that Xie Ciyan would not kill him.
Yan Zhaozhao was puzzled, “The deposed emperor hates Yan Zhiyi so much now, how can he cooperate with her and you?”
Yan Huai laughed, raised her head slightly, with a look of arrogance on her face.”In front of the throne of the emperor, what else matters? As long as the plan succeeds, that person can become the emperor again, and both Yu’er and I will be people of great merit. By then, Yu’er will be the queen, and I will still be the legitimate prime minister! I will bring the people back to Chang’an in glory, and no one will look down on our Yan family again!”
The expression on Yan Zhaozhao’s face gradually changed to the same indifference as Xie Ciyan’s, and her eyes swept over the so-called relatives kneeling on the ground one by one. After hearing her father’s words, Cheng Ying, her mother, had a look of hope on her face, as if what her father said was also her innermost thoughts.Her eyes darkened, and she lost her last struggle for the loved ones in front of her. She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, she was filled with indifference, as if the person in front of her was just a stranger she had never met before.
Every word of her father’s words contained the mention of his most beloved daughter, Yan Zhiyi, and his wishful hopes, but there was no trace of her at all.”Yanhuai, do you know that what you look like now and everything you do are no different from that of the deposed emperor? You are so selfish. How can you be worthy of the name of a country’s prime minister and how can you shoulder the responsibility of a country’s prime minister!”
“Yan Zhaozhao, you are so presumptuous!” Cheng Ying suddenly raised her head and glared at her with eyes that seemed to be full of anger, “This is what your mother has taught you since you were a child? How can you call your father by his first name? How dare you accuse your father? It’s extremely rude!”
Yan Zhaozhao sneered, facing the so-called close relatives in front of her, she could no longer feel any emotion in her heart. Even if she had a little bit of affection for them, it had long been worn away.”I should be the queen first, and then your daughter.” She glanced at everyone with a sharp look, “Mrs. Yan calls me by her first name, which is the real crime of disrespect!”
In her mind, her always obedient and well-behaved daughter actually openly disobeyed her in such a situation. Cheng Ying was startled, and for a moment she couldn’t understand how Yan Zhaozhao suddenly became like this, and she became speechless.
“The Queen is so majestic!” A trace of contempt flashed between Yan Huai’s eyebrows, as if he looked down on Yan Zhaozhao from the bottom of his heart. He couldn’t help complaining and resenting, “If the Queen was driven out of her hometown by her relatives and clansmen,An Zhi, you can show such great dignity to protect us, your father can look up to you, and now you still have the dignity to show off in front of us!If Yuer is the queen, our Yan family will be truly glorious!”
“That’s enough!” Xie Ciyan suddenly raised his palm and slapped it on the edge of the table with so much force that the solid wood table couldn’t help but tremble. The tea cup on the table tilted and fell, and the still warm tea spilled all over the floor.”I think Prime Minister Yan hasn’t realized the situation he is in. Since his mouth can’t speak, he will be beaten until he can speak.”
His voice was low and hoarse, but he could not hide the anger in his words at all. His cold eyes stared straight at Yan Huai, with a serious look on his face, as if he was telling him silently that what he just said was not a joke.Xie Ciyan stood up and stepped forward to take Yan Zhaozhao’s slightly cold hand into his palm. After noticing the coldness in her palm, he unhesitatingly took her hand and put it to his lips, exhaling hot air to warm her. It seemed that he was telling everyone with his words and deeds who was the most important person in his eyes.”But you feel cold?”
Yan Zhaozhao smiled and shook his head, but Xie Ciyan still couldn’t help the worry in his eyes. After helping her back to her seat, he took off his black coat and put it on her body.Not caring about his status as an emperor at all, he bent down to look at her levelly, “I am responsible for everything. You are still weak, so don’t worry about these dirty things now, just leave them to me.”
At this time, Yan Zhaozhao no longer wanted to waste any time talking to the Yan family in front of her, so she smiled at him, winked at him quietly and playfully, and said softly: “I believe you.”
Being trusted by her beloved, Xie Ciyan suddenly felt in a good mood. The eyes he looked at her were full of tender love, without any other emotions at all.He stroked her hair and tightened her shirt, lest she catch a cold.
The moment he straightened up, all the love for Yan Zhaozhao disappeared from his brows and eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist and put it behind his waist. He had transformed back into the angry emperor just now.He glanced at Yan Huai and said in a cold voice, “Yan Huai offends my queen again and again. Her crime is unforgivable and I will grant you a hundred slaps.”
After hearing the words, Huo Sui walked out slowly, holding a sword in one hand and making a fist in the other, as if stretching his muscles and bones. He had a lazy look on his face, but the words he said were equally terrifying.”I’ll let you slap Master Yanhuai on your behalf. I haven’t done anything for a long time, so I’m here to practice.” As he spoke, he had already walked up to Yanhuai, his eyes full of smiles, “Master Yan, I have been fighting all the time, and it is inevitable that I don’t know the importance of my hands. Please bear with me.”
Yan Huai saw that although he had a lazy smile on his face, what he said was not a joke at all. She immediately panicked and said hurriedly: “You, you dare?!” In his words, he was still the noble prime minister who commanded, but he had forgotten that now he was just a prime minister in vain.
Huo Sui lazily raised his eyebrows and turned his wrist, as if he was ready to go.”Why don’t you dare?” After saying this, he glanced at the secret guard standing behind Yan Huai. The man understood instantly and hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Yan Huai tightly.
When Yan Huai opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Huo Sui no longer gave him a chance to talk nonsense. He raised his palm and lowered it, completing his movements in one go.Immediately there was a crisp sound, Yan Huai’s wrinkled face was already red, and a sharp and hoarse voice blurted out.
Huo Sui had a careless apology on his face, “I’m sorry, Prime Minister Yan, I didn’t notice that my hand was too heavy.”
Yan Huai had never been so humiliated. She didn’t expect that Huo Sui, a little general, would dare to hit him. Her heart suddenly burned with anger. She glared at Huo Sui with hatred in her eyes. Just when she was about to curse, the other side of the face was unexpectedly slapped again. He accidentally bit the corner of his lip, and blood suddenly overflowed.
Huo Sui’s casual look calmed down a little, and he lowered his voice, which seemed more like a reminder than a warning.”I advise you to close your mouth tighter and grit your teeth, otherwise the next slap will be more than that light.”
Yan Huai trembled, her cheeks were stinging, and she was so timid that she couldn’t even utter a single word of those vicious and curse words.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life!” Cheng Ying suddenly kowtowed heavily to Xie Ciyan, anxious and panicked, “Please Your Majesty, please let General Huo stop! Master, he has been tired from traveling and traveling, and his body can’t bear it. How can he withstand General Huo’s beating!”
“If begging for mercy is useful, what else do I need from the law?” Xie Ciyan didn’t even look at Cheng Ying, but stared at Yan Huai with stern eyes, indicating something.
Huo Sui knew the meaning of his words. He raised his palm and lowered it repeatedly. The “slapping” sound of the slap came one after another and continued until Yan Huai’s cheeks were horribly swollen. He stopped and looked down at Yan Huai who had collapsed on the ground. It was full of contempt for the superior person towards the inferior person.
Yan Huai opened his mouth to speak, but found that the swelling in his cheeks made him unable to speak clearly, and what he wanted to say came out as baby-like babbling.He was even more resentful. He raised his fingertips and pointed directly at Yan Zhaozhao, who was sitting elegantly on the chair. His eyes were full of accusations against her for not pleading.
“Prime Minister Yan, you don’t even want your finger anymore?” Xie Ciyan’s eyes sharpened, and he glanced at the finger pointing straight at Yan Zhaozhao like a cold blade. Yan Huai suddenly felt his fingers go cold and hurriedly lowered his hand, his eyes filled with fear.
Now that the matter was clear, he didn’t want Yan Zhaozhao to sit here with him and look at these ugly and ferocious people. His eyes were slightly narrowed, with a dangerous dark light in them, and his voice was cold and filled with the unquestionable majesty of an emperor.”Yanhuai and her family members disobeyed the holy order and returned to Beijing without permission. This is a crime.”
“Second, Yan Huai colluded with the deposed emperor and abandoned concubines in the palace, and poisoned the royal family. Third, he insulted the queen and disrespected the royal family.” His voice was like a cold pool, with a sharp sense of oppression that made people feel chills running down their spines.”I have given you a chance to take care of your queen. I will only expel you from Chang’an without harming your lives, so that you can find a place to live peacefully. But you are too greedy and have been blinded by the corrupt power. You have murdered the royal family for your own selfish purposes. You cannot be punished.”
Speaking of this, Xie Ciyan couldn’t help but glanced sideways at Yan Zhaozhao, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no trace of worry on her face and she smiled at him.He turned back, his big palm quietly covering the back of her hand, and then continued: “Since you want to stay in Chang’an so much, I will make it happen for you. Let you live in a prison, where you will never be able to leave, and you will live or die by your fate.”
As soon as the words came out, the pleadings continued. Even Aunt Yuan and her son Yan Bai, who had always been silent, realized the seriousness of the matter. Their eyes were panicked and they hurriedly looked at Yan Huai, the head of the family, asking for help.
Yan Huai also opened her mouth to speak, but every movement involved her wound, which was so painful that she couldn’t even speak. She was so panicked when she heard the emperor’s decree that she hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, trying to get him to take back his decree.After meeting Xie Ciyan’s gaze, he saw a mocking arc on his lips, and his back felt cold. Only then did he realize why he had swollen his face, just to make him unable to speak again, or even beg for mercy.
He changed direction and kowtowed heavily towards Yan Zhaozhao, his eyes full of pleading. In addition, his swollen face was seriously injured, making it very easy to evoke pity.What’s more, the person in front of him is still his biological daughter, how can he resist not asking the emperor for mercy.
But Yan Huai never expected that his daughter would look away after just one glance at him, her eyes as indifferent as if they were just strangers.
Xie Ciyan ignored the shock in his eyes and continued with a cold voice: “Kneel down in front of the prison door at noon every day, and I will order someone to give you fifty slaps every day.” When he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, “A person with such a vicious mind should copy the Diamond Sutra every day. If he cannot finish copying, he will beat him until he finishes copying.”
The faces of Yan Huai and the others were as pale as paper. The two female relatives, Cheng Ying and Aunt Yuan, could not even kneel when they heard this. Their bodies softened and they shouted at the top of their lungs, “Spare your life, Your Majesty! We are just defenseless women and children, how can we endure such torture? Please, for the sake of Zhao Zhao, please spare her biological parents!”
“Unarmed?” Xie Ciyan sneered, “Your extremely vicious heart is enough to kill you thousands of times! If I hadn’t been thinking about Zhao Zhao, you would have died by now.”
His eyes were cold as he looked at everyone in the Yan family in front of him one by one, “The heartbroken grass you planted almost caused Zhao Zhao to lose his life. How could I let you die so happily? Living is the beginning of your atonement.”
Death is so easy with just a nod.Only by living can these people who have hurt Zhaozhao pay the price one by one!
After solving the Yan family, there are still two silverfish to clean up in the palace.
Xie Ciyan glanced at Yan Zhaozhao, who was still weak. It was no longer appropriate to stay outside for too long. She should be allowed to rest and recuperate.So, without further delay, he stood up, rolled his sleeves, and gave the order.
“Take the Yan family’s felon and return to the palace.”
