Chapter 73: The Guards Retaliate

Mo Ye pursed his lips, then looked over at Liu Rushuang with a troubled look in his eyes. “Milady, I have some men who can be sent,” he said calmly.

Liu Rushuang’s eyes lit up and turned to Mo Ye who looked pale in the face. “Then, I must trouble you Clan Master Mo Ye,” she said with an uneasy smile.

There was a hint of avoidance in Mo Ye’s devilish eyes. “It’s no trouble,” he said flatly, before turning his head.

Although the clan leader was ruthless and heartless, she wasn’t a bad person.

He liked girls like the clan leader!

Liu Rushuang smiled a little awkwardly. Was she too harsh on clan master Mo Ye today?

After the meal, everyone respectively returned to their own Houses in good spirits.

Liu Rushuang headed back to her chambers and sent people to the Medical House to collect ointment.

Having passed layers of muslin curtains, she saw Qing’Er asleep upon the lounge chair and couldn’t help but smile. That little slob.

Then, she gently picked up Qing’Er, put her down on the big bed and pulled the covers.

Qing’Er pursed her lips and continued sleeping.

Liu Rushuang grinned helplessly. When they were at the minister’s manor, she never saw Qing’Er sleep so well. As soon as she arrived at Blood Feast, she let her guard down.

It wasn’t completely dark outside yet and Liu Rushuang couldn’t fall asleep, so she sat reading in a chair. She didn’t actually go to sleep until very late.

Thinking about future life in the canyon, a smile formed in the corner of her mouth.

If she could live like this from here on out, that wouldn’t be too bad.

…

Meanwhile…

The Beiming political marriage procession reached an inn in the evening.

Ouyang Yaoyi was angry and exhausted. She looked back at the two guards once again and said threateningly, “You can let go of me now, right? If you dont, I’ll defnitely have your entire families killed when we get back.”

The two strong guards had impatient looks on their rugged faces. The Third Princess really was a lot of trouble, as she was quickly turning them deaf throughout the journey. Every so often, she would threaten to kill them, hack them into eight pieces, turn them into mincemeat, dismember them by horse, chop them up into a pulp, and slaughter their entire family or whatever.

She never thought about who ordered her to be shackled all the way back to the Capital – it was was the Emperor! That tyrant whose imperial officers would tremble at the sight of.

All in all, the two imperial guards developed a strong impression of Ouyang Yaoyi’s unruly, bossy, and unreasonable attitude.

Since they were going to die either way, it wasn’t half bad to torture this wretched woman.

So, when they reached the inn, they took the opportunity to kneel before Ouyang Yaoyi when the Emperor waited outside.

“Third Princess, I beg you forgive us. I have a mother of eighty years old and a child of just three, who rely on me to take care of them. Killing me would mean killing them. I beg you show some mercy!” Wailed one of the guards.

The other guard also quickly kowtowed. “I beg you, Third Princess, please have mercy. We were just following the Emperor’s orders. You can’t blame us!” he wailed.

Han Moze and Han Moxi suddenly looked back.

“I never imagined that this Third Princess would be so ruthless to actually not even show innocent guards mercy,” Han Moxi said with a cold smirk.

Han Moze’s sinister gaze averted towards Ouyang Yaoyi, whose face looked completely fierce, and his hands clenched. If she weren’t the princess of Nanli, he would have absolutely sentenced a vicious woman like her to be struck to death by a wooden stick.

Han Moxi looked over at Han Moze and let out a helpless sigh, as he rode over to Ouyang Yaoyi. The Third Princess won’t have a good future, but he was delighted with that. He didn’t have the slightest good feeling towards such a woman who would sadistically kill servants at will.

“Don’t beg her. Get up,” said Han Moze with a deep voice, as he walked up to Ouyang Yaoyi.

The two guards got what they wanted. They were ecstatic but they didn’t dare show it, and hurriedly kowtowed. “Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, your majesty for helping us get justice!” They cried, before they got up and respectfully stood to one side.
