Dugu Menghai decided that if he could prove that Feng Wu planned to usurp the throne, his crime wouldn’t be so severe.
However, Emperor Wu only smiled. “You don’t like what those lines say, do you?”
Dugu Menghai said, “Your Majesty, that proves she’s a usurper!”
Emperor Wu didn’t seem angry, but he suddenly kicked Dugu Menghai in the chest.
He was displeased when he saw that Dugu Menghai didn’t fly away.
He said grimly. “Usurper? Then I’ll be usurping my own throne! I wrote those words!”
Dugu Menghai was shocked.
So was everyone else.
Emperor Wu sneered at him then looked over his shoulder at Lady Ling.
Lady Ling was smiling now.
Emperor Wu was so happy that he smiled for a split second as well. Dugu Menghai couldn’t believe it.
His Majesty was smiling? He had to be seeing things!
However, when Emperor Wu turned around, he kicked Dugu Menghai again. “Your crime is punishable by death!
“Qin Yan!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Dismiss him from his post! He’ll never be employed as an officer ever again!” Emperor Wu said coldly.
“Yes.”
Emperor Wu stole a glance at Lady Ling.
She was frowning and seemed worried.
She was worried about her daughter because the crown prince was there, but she was only wearing a casual outfit and wasn’t behaving like a noble young lady.
But Emperor Wu took it as a sign that Lady Ling wasn’t satisfied with the punishment Dugu Menghai received, although Dugu Menghai had almost fainted.
Emperor Wu waved his hand. “Destroy his cultivation ability and break his legs. If the Dugu family dares to give him any help, they can go down with him!”
Qin Yan said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Gao almost felt sorry for Dugu Menghai.
One shouldn’t take lives on New Year’s Eve, so Emperor Wu gave him a punishment that was worse than death.
Dugu Menghai was dumbfounded.
He knew that he would be punished and possibly demoted, but his family would ensure that he got his job back. However, what was happening was beyond his expectations
“Your Majesty!”
Dugu Menghai wanted to beg for mercy, but Qin Yan hit him on the back of his neck, knocking him out.
Qin Yan dragged him away after that.
The 300 hundred guards whom Dugu Menghai had brought here were filled with terror as well.
Qin Yan took them away with him as well.
As for what he would do with them
He wouldn’t be much gentler than Qin Mo, the head of military intelligence.
‘What happened to Dugu Menghai was confidential information, and the Zuo family wasn’t notified.
They were still waiting for more information.
But the news never arrived.
No news was bad news. Zuo Qingluan’s heart began to sink.
The party had been going on for hours, and it would soon be midnight. The guests were already thinking of leaving.
But with the strange atmosphere in the manor, no one dared to bring it up.
Tao Qingging tugged at Mrs. Tao. “Mother, I’m sure that His Royal Highness isn’t coming. We can wait for news of Feng Wu back home.. How about we leave now?”
