When Yan Ya was dragged into the Taixuan Ancient Palace by the Demon Guards, passing by the servant girl kneeling on the palace path, she gave her a grateful smile.
However, her current appearance was too miserable, so the smile lacked beauty.
She transmitted a message: ’Rest assured, when I regain my status, I will surely thank you properly.’
The servant girl was momentarily stunned upon hearing the message, and by the time she reacted, Yan Ya had already been dragged far away, leaving her no chance to explain. ’Vassal Lord, it wasn’t me! I haven’t even seen His Majesty!’
The servant girl felt a sudden chill down her spine in response to Yan Ya’s words of gratitude.
She suddenly realized this might be the last time she would see her master.
"Summon the accused, Yan Ya, to the hall—!"
Two Demon Guards, dragging Yan Ya by the arms, showed no pity, carrying her into the Desolate Hall and throwing her before Si Mo and Mu Qingge.
The demons in the hall saw her in her current state and whispered among themselves.
Was this still the Vassal Lord Yan Ya, who always maintained her status, with an exquisite appearance and graceful demeanor?
Everyone was secretly shocked and realized a truth... that is, those who offend the Princess, if she decides to bear a grudge, will not have a good outcome.
Yan Ya was thrown before Si Mo, who lowered his eyes, looking at the woman covered in blood and grime, frowning in displeasure. Mu Qingge silently watched his expression and noticed that, apart from disgust, there was no other emotion in his eyes.
It seemed that he really did not remember who Yan Ya was.
"Who is she? What crime did she commit?" Si Mo asked coldly, his voice completely devoid of emotion.
At this point, before anyone could answer, Yan Ya raised her head and in a pitiful and wretched voice said, "Your Majesty—, the Princess wants to harm me!"
Her pitiful cries echoed continuously within the Desolate Hall.
Her words caused Mu Qingge to slightly raise the corners of her mouth, a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Si Mo also frowned deeply because of her words, a fierce killing intent rising in his eyes.
"Someone, throw her into the Hyena Pit." Suddenly, a word from Si Mo caused a stir in the Desolate Hall.
Mu Qingge looked at him in surprise, blinking her eyes.
"You don’t even know what happened, maybe I’ve really wronged her?" Mu Qingge couldn’t help but say.
Si Mo turned his gaze towards her, his eyes carrying a dignified air, speaking slowly so that his voice could be heard throughout the Desolate Hall. "Daring to accuse you is already a crime worthy of death."
What!
Everyone in the hall gasped.
Yan Ya was also shocked, her eyes wide open, looking up at Si Mo in disbelief.
Her king actually said such words?
Could it be... she wasn’t as important as the unknown woman sitting beside him?
Mu Qingge twitched her mouth, saying to Si Mo, "You should listen to the whole story before deciding how to handle it."
Just as she finished speaking, Qing Ze, standing in the hall, moved his eyes and stepped forward, saying to Si Mo, "Your Majesty, this is what happened."
He pointed towards the injured Yan Ya, who had been harmed by Si Mo’s merciless words, "This is the Clan Leader of the Yanyu Clan, and also the former Vassal Lord of Yanyu City, Yan Ya. Not long ago, she had an incident in the palace involving the Princess..."
Qing Ze recounted the events succinctly and in order, his words impartial without favoritism or embellishment.
However, when he finished speaking, Yan Ya awoke from her grief and still defended herself. "No! He’s lying! Your Majesty, I did not want to harm the Princess, nor do I wish to harm the royal heir! It’s all a conspiracy against me! They are all in it together, all of them! Your Majesty, you must stand up for me!"
Her defense felt powerless in the Desolate Hall.
It wasn’t a matter of belief or disbelief, but rather that anyone smart enough knew that any further defense would be useless.
For Yan Ya was too insignificant in His Majesty’s heart.
And the Princess...
After today, who in the entire Taixuan Ancient Palace, in the entire Taixuan Demon Realm, would dare to offend their Princess? His Majesty’s attitude had made everything clear; he was extremely fond of this Princess!
Yan Ya’s words echoed in the Desolate Hall.
There was a dead silence, and no one dared to interrupt.
As Yan Ya looked hopefully at Si Mo, hoping he would speak a word for her, just one word would be enough, Si Mo spoke as she wished.
However, the words he uttered sent a shiver down one’s spine.
"To dare plot against my heir. It seems throwing you into the Hyena Pit is too lenient, so peel off your skin first, then throw you into the Hyena Pit. I will watch together with the Princess."
Boom—!
Yan Ya’s heart suddenly shattered into pieces.
She stared wide-eyed, looking at Si Mo in disbelief. Had she heard it wrong? Had she? The vicious words from His Majesty were not directed at her, were they?
Yet, when she saw the gazes directed at her from all around, she felt that she had not misheard.
The man she loved all her life truly wanted to treat her with such cruelty!
"No—! Your Majesty, you can’t do this to me! I love you! No matter what, I love you! How can you be so cruel to me!" Yan Ya’s heart-wrenching cries resounded.
This declaration before death brought a trace of mockery to Mu Qingge’s eyes.
And Si Mo wore a face full of disgust, "What are you waiting for?"
The sound of armor clanging arose as the Demon Guards stepped forward again, dragging the struggling, screaming Yan Ya out of the Desolate Hall.
According to their king’s orders, they would peel off her skin first, then throw her into the Hyena Pit!
"Your Majesty—! Your Majesty—!"
Yan Ya’s voice still echoed within the Desolate Hall.
