153 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)”

Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of undisguised contempt flashed in his eyes, and the slightly raised corners of his lips seemed to be sneering at the deposed emperor who was still uttering arrogant words in front of him.

“The Supreme Emperor?” His voice was cold, like the cold wind of winter blowing by his ears, and every word was filled with a chilling chill.”Are you kidding me?”

Xie Ciyan glanced at the deposed emperor who looked slightly guilty with his sharp eyes, staring straight at him like an eagle.”The moment I deposed you on the dragon throne, you were already called the deposed emperor in the Great Sheng Dynasty and to all the courtiers.”

“You are so deceptive! Xie Ciyan, did you ever regard me as your brother?! You went against the ancestral rules and deprived me of my orthodox imperial bloodline, and even called me a deposed emperor?!” His brows were furrowed, his eyes were filled with anger, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to come forward and tear him apart with his own hands.”You have acted like this, even accepted a woman like Yan Zhaozhao as your queen, and even deposed the Sixth Palace for her, which has put the royal family’s bloodline in worry! The people in future generations will definitely scold you, despise you, and you will be infamy for thousands of years!”

Hearing that the deposed emperor mentioned the thorn in her heart, Yan Zhaozhao still couldn’t help but breathe slightly, and her fingertips subconsciously clenched nervously.But she forgot for a moment that her hand was intertwined with Xie Ciyan’s fingers.The attentive man noticed her emotions immediately, and immediately tightened his hold on her hand, as if silently giving her powerful strength to resist the enemy.

Xie Ciyan suddenly pierced him with a pair of eyes like sharp swords, “I have never regarded you as a brother. My mother-in-law only gave birth to me, so how can I be a brother? Furthermore, I think you have not been out of this Xuanji Palace for a long time, so you don’t think about it at all.”You know what’s going on outside.It’s you, not me, who is really scolded by the people for being debauched and unethical.” He suddenly stood up and walked toward him step by step, his tone getting stronger with every step he took.”After I succeeded to the throne, there were dozens of memorials impeaching you for your previous ridiculous actions every day. The ministers dared not speak out in anger before, but now they can speak freely and record all the stupid things you did in the past into the annals of history. It is you who will be reviled by countless people in the future and will be infamy for thousands of years.”

Xie Ciyan walked to and stood in front of the deposed emperor, slightly bent down to look at him levelly, but the invisible majesty filled the air the moment he looked at the deposed emperor.”But there is one thing I should thank you for.” His voice was hoarse. Although his voice was not loud, people could hear the shocking meaning in it.”Thanks to your constant neglect of Zhao Zhao, I had the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity and marry the best woman in the world. Even if I gave up everything for her, I would be happy to do so. But you never have the chance to feel the purest love in the world, and you only get it out of a calculated love. It is really sad.”

The deposed emperor had been the most ungrateful person since he was a child. Yan was better than him in every way, and was more loved by his father than him.Therefore, he had sworn since he was a child that he would severely trample Xie Ciyan, a person with inferior blood to him, so that he could only be a chess piece in his hands and could only look up to him for the rest of his life.But later, even though he studied hard to learn the art of war, in the eyes of his father, he could only see Xie Ciyan, who had a wrong bloodline. He no longer had the desire to study and only cared about having fun, because he knew that his mother would never let him fall behind others, and he only had to wait for the day when his father would go west.

Everything was obviously going so smoothly and according to his imagination, but he couldn’t figure out why Xie Ciyan, a person with a lower bloodline than him, could sit on the dragon throne today and stand in front of him and talk to him arrogantly.

He was resentful and unwilling to lose to the person he once looked down upon the most.The deposed emperor’s expression suddenly changed, and the raging fire ignited in his eyes became so hot that he could no longer control it.”Enough!” He roared suddenly, his chest heaving violently, his eyes full of hatred were scarlet red, he raised his clenched fist and was about to swing it at the face that was so close.

Xie Ciyan chuckled, straightened up lazily and took a step back. The deposed emperor who was punching suddenly missed, and he staggered and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state.His eyes were full of contempt, and he looked down at himself condescendingly, just as he imagined that he would trample Xie Ciyan under his feet. The funny thing is that the person being trampled under his feet now is actually himself.

The deposed emperor suddenly collapsed on the dusty ground, laughing and uttering incomprehensible words.”Hahaha! Xie Ciyan, you win, you win! Hahaha——”

Xie Ciyan looked at the crazy and shapeless man in front of him, unable to feel any sympathy.Everything he has done today is the result and retribution he deserves for doing all kinds of unforgivable things. The blame is his own fault.He waved his sleeves and walked back, saying as he walked: “The crimes committed by the deposed emperor are too numerous to list, and he is really a great sinner. I will ask you to kneel in the outer hall every day when the dawn comes and confess all your actions to the late emperor. You will be paraded in the streets of Chang’an at noon when there are the most people, and you will be punished with sixty sticks at dusk.”

He sat back on the Grand Master’s chair, leisurely took a cup of warm tea and took a sip to soothe his throat, “This ruined palace is very suitable for your title of deposed emperor, so I gave it to you to live in. I want you to live in peace every day in order to sacrifice all the people who died innocently because of your stupid control!”

Now that the truth has been found, Xie Ciyan doesn’t want to waste any time talking about it.He glanced sideways outside the hall, and saw that Yan Zhiyi’s originally slender and white fingers had been pinched to pieces with a hammer, and blood was flowing down his wrists. Even the plain white dress was spattered with bright red blood stains, which was shocking.Yanzhiyi was so painful that she bit down on the cotton cloth stuffed into her mouth. Perhaps she bit too hard, and her gums bleed, staining the cotton cloth red.

But there was not even the slightest pity in the man’s eyes, and there was no wave in his eyes.He glanced at the torture instruments on the tray, pointed at it casually, and said in a cold voice, “Give this to her too. Don’t waste it by moving such a long distance.”

The eunuch who was close to him picked up the instrument of torture with great discernment and hurriedly passed it outside to his colleague who was enjoying the execution.When the man saw the instrument of torture, his eyes lit up, and the excitement in his eyes became even more intense. He hurriedly took it and had Yan Zhiyi take off her shoes and socks.They were a pair of nail shoes. From the outside, they looked like a pair of poorly made copper shoes, but there was something going on inside.

The soles of the shoes are embedded with sharp nails. As long as the legs stand up or walk, the sharp nails will immediately penetrate into the soles of the feet. Every step taken is an excruciating torture.

Yanzhiyi no longer had any strength to resist, so the eunuchs could only let the executioner take off her shoes and socks like a puppet on strings, and then forcefully put on the torturous shoes for her.She was unable to speak, let alone beg for mercy. Her fingers seemed to be no longer hers, and even the slightest movement hurt her so much that she almost fainted.

But as if Xie Ci Yanwan didn’t think it was enough, he stood not far away from her, holding Yan Zhaozhao’s bitch’s hand, and seemed to curl his lips towards her. The sweat dripping from his forehead blinded his eyes, and he couldn’t really see the emotion in his eyes.

“Since you want to trample everyone under your feet so much, then I will make it impossible for you to stand up for the rest of your life, and you will always be able to look up to others. Since you, Yan Zhiyi, are the beloved concubine of the deposed emperor, you still have to stay here to serve him. Kneeling to serve him is also suitable for your current status.” After thanking him, he gave him no extra look and pulled Yan Zhaozhao past her.

Yanzhiyi was extremely scared. If she continued like this, she would really be tortured to death in this Xuanji Palace!She doesn’t want to, she doesn’t want to!She endured the great pain and wanted to reach out to grab her last glimmer of hope. She no longer dared to beg the evil god anymore, and could only hope that Yan Zhaozhao could save her life by thinking of the last bit of her relatives’ blood.

But before her bloody hands touched the hem of Yan Zhaozhao’s clothes, Xie Ciyan pulled her away from her side. His eyes were extremely disgusting, as if she was some kind of stinky and festering insect, “Don’t touch her with your dirty hands.”

Yan Zhiyi stared at the backs of the emperor and empress holding each other in love, her vision became increasingly blurry, and she could no longer tell whether it was her sweat that was dripping down or her unwilling tears.

She didn’t understand which step was wrong.She had obviously been the proud daughter of heaven since she was a child and was loved by her father. Apart from her status as a concubine, she was in no way comparable to Yan Zhaozhao. But why did Yan Zhaozhao become the emperor’s only beloved one, while she suddenly fell from the position of the most favored concubine among the people and became a sinner who would be tortured every day.

She has been working hard to make herself sit in that honorable position and let everyone surrender at her feet, but why now she can only kneel at the feet of others!

Which step did I go wrong to begin with?…
