Chapter 1060 - 1060 Even More Displeased
1060 Even More Displeased
Outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate, there was originally a long line, but because of the arrival of the Imperial Guards, most of the people in the line had been driven away. Only a small number of people were still resisting.
This small group of people were all commoners at the bottom of the Imperial City. They had been poisoned by the plague and could not obtain the antidote. They could only wait for death.
Since they were going to die either way, they decided to take a risk and go against the Imperial Guards.
However, the Imperial Guards did not care about the lives of these people. Whoever did not listen to orders and left would be executed on the spot.
In just fifteen minutes, more than ten innocent people had been killed and fallen into a pool of blood.
When Xue Fanxin received the news, she hurriedly rushed over. When she arrived at the event location and saw that the Imperial Guards were still killing people, she was enraged. She was completely livid. With a Heavenly Spirit Butterfly Dance, she summoned countless spirit butterflies and used them as weapons to kill the Imperial Guards who killed the innocent.
Then, the Black Shadow Guards attacked and controlled all the Imperial Guards, knocking them down one by one. They escorted them to Xue Fanxin and made them all kneel.
The commander of the Imperial Guards was unwilling to submit. He glared at Xue Fanxin and scolded her angrily. “Ninth Imperial Consort, how dare you kill the Imperial Guards randomly? Are you thinking of rebelling?”
“You’re the ones who’re rebelling, okay? Shouldn’t everyone punish rebels like you? It’s already good enough that I didn’t kill all of you.” Xue Fanxin could not be bothered to waste her breath on the commander of the Imperial Guards now. She first checked the injured and fallen commoners to see who could be saved, then quickly saved them.
Unfortunately, these ordinary people were too heavily injured and infected with the plague poison. Even if they were alive, they could not be saved.
Seeing more than ten innocent lives be erased just like that, Xue Fanxin was very sad and angry; she was even more dissatisfied with the Empress and the Second Prince.
The Imperial Guards in the palace must have been instructed by the Empress and the Second Prince to surround the Lord’s Estate. Otherwise, how would they dare to come?
“Bury these people properly, then reorganize and clean up the space. Prepare to start distributing the antidote. As for these Imperial Guards, hang them at the entrance of the palace for the Empress and the Second Prince to admire.”
“Xue Fanxin, how dare you go against the Empress and the Second Prince. You…” The commander of the Imperial Guards wanted to scold her more, but suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck him.
The commander of the Imperial Guards was smoking from head to toe. His hair was all charred, and his mouth was swollen like a burnt sausage. He could no longer speak.
“If anyone’s mouth is as stinky as his, I don’t mind striking a few more of you with lightning bolts and making you as charred on the outside as him.” Little Lei stood at the door, playing with purple lightning in his hand. Although his body was small, his presence was not small. The moment he arrived, he frightened all the Imperial Guards, especially the commander of the Imperial Guards, whose heart was filled with despair.
He had come under the Empress’s orders to control the Ninth Lord’s Estate. If he could not complete the mission, he would definitely die.
What happened outside the Ninth Lord’s Estate quickly reached the Empress’s ears, but she was not surprised by this outcome at all. Instead, she smiled.
The Second Prince was extremely angry. “Mother, that Xue Fanxin is too arrogant. She actually doesn’t take us seriously at all. Is she going against us openly?”
“My son, do you really think those Imperial Guards can really control the Ninth Lord’s Estate? If the Ninth Lord’s Estate was so easy to control, I would have been able to do anything to Ye Jiushang from a long time ago.
“Since those Imperial Guards can’t control the Ninth Lord’s Estate, why did Mother still let them go?
“Of course it’s to lure the snake out of its hole. If not for these Imperial Guards, I wouldn’t have known that Xue Fanxin was in the Ninth Lord’s Estate.”
Xue Fanxin was in the Ninth Lord’s Estate, which meant that Ye Jiushang was also there. At the very least, he would not be too far away.
“Pass down the order. Whoever dares to go to the Ninth Lord’s Estate to receive the antidote will be killed without mercy.”
