Looking at Yelu Longhao's cold expression, Luo Zhongying subconsciously stood in front of Duanmu Xiji to protect her." What do you want?”
Ye Lui Long Hao swept a cold glance at the two of them. He passed Luo Zhongying and looked at Duanmu Xiji, who was barely clothed, and said," Xi 'er, come here."
Luo Zhongying stopped Duanmu Xiji." Xiji, don't go. I'm here. You don't have to be afraid of him." Yelu Long Hao, if there's anything, just come at me. Xi Ji is innocent.”
Yelu Long Hao did not put Luo Zhongying's threat in his eyes at all. He coldly ordered again,""Xi 'er, I called you over, did you hear me?”
Luo Zhongying stopped him again." Don't go over. With me around, he can't hurt you."”
But Luo Zhongying was disappointed. Duanmu Xiji lowered her head and walked towards Yelu Longhao.
Yelu Longhao grabbed Duanmu Xiji's slim waist and stared at Luo Zhongying with a victorious expression." Men, drag him out and behead him!"”
Duanmu Xiji grabbed Ye Lui Long Hao's hand in panic," Emperor, don't, you promised me."”
"I only promised not to punish you, I didn't promise to let him go! Drag him out!"
"Emperor, I beg you…"
Yelu Long Hao turned his face away coldly, as if he didn't want to touch on this topic anymore.
Duanmu Xiji was disappointed. She couldn't help but look at Luo Zhongying with tears in her eyes." Zhongying…"
Luo Zhongying struggled and refused to move forward." Wait, I still have something to say!”
Yelu Long Hao raised his eyebrows and waited for him to speak.
He stared at Duanmu Xiji." Xiji, I only want one word from you. Do you want me or him?”
Duanmu Xiji bit her lip awkwardly. How should she choose? One was her fiancé, whom they had grown up together and talked about everything. A man who made her give up her body and soul, who…who should she choose?
She looked at Luo Zhongying and then at Yelu Long Hao.
For Luo Zhongying, the relationship between brother and sister was more important than the relationship between a man and a woman. Because they grew up together, it seemed very natural for them to be together. However, Yelu Long Hao was different. He made her a woman, taught her the feelings between men and women, and let her experience the happiness and pain of being a woman in a short time. If she really had to choose, she would rather choose Luo Zhongying. Perhaps this would be more ordinary and blissful.
But could she bear to part with Yelu Longhao? If she really broke her promise and left him, how would he deal with the people of Dolan City? She couldn't help but shiver when she thought of what Luo Zhongying had just said.
She lowered her head and quietly leaned against Yelu Long Hao without saying anything. This was her answer.
Luo Zhongying was in despair. He nodded fiercely." You chose him, right? Forget it, this is your choice anyway, and I respect your choice. However, you must remember that he is not a man you can control and manipulate. One day, you will break his heart.”
As he spoke, he pulled with both hands, and the iron chain that had imprisoned him for so many days fell to the ground," Ye Lui Long Hao, you win today! But I want to tell you that I will come back. One day, I will bring back four Jade Qilins. At that time, your kingdom, your wives, and your current position will all belong to me, Luo Zhongying!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhongying's figure had already faded away. The group of guards wanted to chase after him, but Yelu Longhao waved his hand to stop them. His face was ashen as he said,""Stop chasing him. You won't be able to catch up to him.”
"But we caught him once..."
Yelu Long Hao snorted coldly," Captured him? Ask your Consort Zhaorong and you will know if you really caught him!”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned." Your Majesty!"
He looked at her coldly and left without saying a word.
Duanmu Xiji was stunned. He…he was angry? Did he not want her anymore? No! No, she still had a lot to say and wanted to ask him about Dolan City. He couldn't just leave like this.
Duanmu Xiji hurriedly chased after him.
"Emperor, I…"
Yelu Long Hao returned to his room with a dark face. Duanmu Xiji stood behind him helplessly.
The two of them stood quietly one after the other. No one spoke first. Suddenly, Ye Lui Long Hao turned around and glared at her," Tell me, what happened just now?"”
Duanmu Xiji trembled." I…Zhong Ying and I are not what you think. I am innocent.”
"Innocent? You let him kiss you on the lips, let him hug and hug you, and you still dare to say that you're innocent?”
"That's…that's…"
"What's that? A game? Or fill in the gap when I'm not around? If I had come in a little later, were you planning to perform a live erotic performance in front of all the guards?”
"It's not like that, emperor, listen to me…"
"I don't want to hear it. I just want to know why you betrayed me to see him.”
"I told you, I'm going to deliver food.”
"Food delivery? Will they hug each other when they deliver food?"
Duanmu Xiji shook her head." I know you won't believe me no matter what I say. I know you're angry, but I beg you to promise me one thing, okay?”
"You want to plead for him again?"
"No, I beg you to let go of the people of Dolan City, is that okay?”
Yelu Long Hao was slightly startled," Duolan City? What did you hear?"
"I…I heard that you imprisoned all the generals in the city. The men were sent to the border as slaves, and the women were sent to the military camp as…military prostitutes. Emperor, let them go. I'll agree to whatever you want. Even if you want me to die now, I won't complain.”
"Who told you this? Luo Zhongying?" Yelu Long Hao's voice became even colder.
She nodded." Yes, Zhong Ying risked his life and came all the way from Duolan City to find me to tell me about this. Your Majesty, you…"
He stood up abruptly." Put your clothes on.”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned. She couldn't come back to her senses for a short while." What did you say?”
"Put on your clothes. I'll show you how the Eastern Emperor deals with traitors and sycophants.”
Duanmu Xiji stumbled as she followed Yelu Longhao to the hall. This was the first time she saw him wearing a dragon robe, and also the first time she saw him put on a stern face like an emperor. He was so dignified that people didn't dare to act rashly.
"Tell him to crawl in!" After Yelu Long Hao sat down, he slapped the table and shouted, his voice hiding anger.
Duanmu Xiji didn't know what was going on when she saw a man who looked like a general crawling in.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!”
"Xiahou Ming, do you know why I called you here overnight on a horse that can travel eight hundred li?”
Xiahou Ming kowtowed in panic." I'm stupid. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."”
"Humph!" Yelu Long Hao threw a memorial on the ground," Look at this for yourself.”
Xiahou Ming opened the memorial with trembling hands. He had only just finished reading the first page when the memorial fell to the ground with a thud." Your Majesty, I admit my crimes. Please spare my life!"”
"Guilty? Tell me, what crime do you know?"
"I shouldn't have…I shouldn't have imprisoned the commander of Dolan City, but I did it for a reason.”
"Reason? What's the reason?"
"I was afraid that those generals would be dissatisfied with the emperor and plot to usurp the throne, so I imprisoned them.”
"Me? Did you lock them up together or in different places?”
"I locked them in the same place. It's better to watch them…"
Ye Lui Long Hao slammed the table, and a teacup was instantly shattered," Nonsense! Don't you know that keeping them together is a good opportunity for them to plot against us? Tell me, what other good things have you done?"
"I…I know that the emperor is going to start a war on the folding tower in the near future, so I gathered some strong men to forge weapons for the emperor to use.”
"From what you're saying, it seems to be my fault. I shouldn't have started the war at will, right?”
Xiahou Ming trembled in fear." I wouldn't dare. How would I dare to talk about the Emperor?"”
"What else? What's up with those women in your residence?”
"That's…that's…"
Yelu Long Hao got off his chair and walked around Xiahou Ming, saying,""I heard that you allowed your soldiers to bully innocent women on the road. You didn't even give them money when you went to buy things.”
Xiahou Ming broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed on the ground." Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life! Please spare my life!"”
The furious Yelu Long Hao raised his leg and kicked Xiahou Ming over. What do I usually say? Murderers and robbers die, and those who rape innocent women go to the palace. Have you forgotten?”
"I didn't forget, I didn't dare to forget. I was just muddle-headed for a moment, please spare my life, Your Majesty…"
Yelu Long Hao kicked Xiahou Ming's chest again, causing him to cry out in pain and almost faint.
"Do you know that you have ruined the military prestige of my Liao Dynasty? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you did these things? Do you think that I can't control you just because the sky is high and the emperor is far away? Men, drag him out and chop him off. Hang his head on the gate of Dolan City as a warning!”
Duanmu Xiji couldn't bear to see Xiahou Ming being dragged out. When he screamed, she was so scared that she trembled. She covered her ears with her hands, not daring to listen or look.
Yelu Long Hao turned to look at her and was about to comfort her when a guard ran in with a panicked expression.
"Emperor, bad news!"
"What's the matter? Speak!"
The guard walked to Yelu Long Hao's side and whispered into his ear.
Yelu Long Hao's expression was already ugly, and after hearing the guard's report, it became even uglier. He waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave. He looked coldly at Duanmu Xiji." Xi 'er, come here."”
She trembled as she walked up to him." Your Majesty!”
He placed his hands behind his back and asked,"Am I still a fatuous ruler?"”
"I…"
"I don't want to explain why this happened in Dolan City. I can only tell you my punishment.”
"Punishment?"
"Yes! The able-bodied men who had been sent to do hard labor in Dolan City had been released, and the women had returned home. As for those who had violated the law, they had also been executed.”
"Then…then what about my father's generals?”
Ye Lui Long Hao looked at Duanmu Xiji," Some were cut down, some were released, and some were kept locked up.”
"Chop him down? You killed them? Didn't you promise me not to hurt them?”
Ye Lui Long Hao shook his head, his eyes sparkling." Xi 'er, don't forget that I never promised you anything, so you have no reason to blame me. As for you…"
His gaze shocked Duanmu Xiji." I…What's wrong with me?”
"You said that as long as I let the people of Dolan City go, you would be willing to die, right?”
Her face suddenly turned pale." You…What do you want to do?”
"What are you doing? When you want to punish an unfaithful concubine, what do you think you should do? Should I break into the Cold Palace, give you a white silk, a cup of poisoned wine, or send you to the Suzhou camp here?”
Duanmu Xiji's legs went soft and she knelt on the ground." You…you want to kill me?”
Yelu Long Hao shook his head coldly," No, I'm just asking you, how do you punish an unfaithful concubine? Especially when I trusted her so much, doted on her so much, and even wanted to move the entire Suzhou to the capital for her, but she betrayed me and openly met her lover. What do you think I should do?”
"I didn't, I didn't betray you. Emperor, please listen to my explanation…"
"No betrayal? Then let me ask you, why did Luo Zhongying intercept my letter to Ouyang Che?”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned." Intercepting letters? No, how was this possible? I personally sent it to the messenger, how could it be…"
Duanmu Xiji suddenly stopped talking. She looked up at Yelu Long Hao in shock," Emperor, do you think I told him?”
"Other than you, no one else here knows about this.”He shook his head in disbelief." Xi 'er, I loved you so much and trusted you so much. I let you sort out my memorials, read all my things, and tell you the secret of the Jade Kylin, but you..."
"I didn't. I don't know what's going on. Your Majesty, you have to believe me…"
Ye Lui Long Hao waved his hand," No need to say anymore, I don't want to hear it!”
"Your Majesty!"
He stared at her indifferently and pointed at the eight square table not far away."There are three pieces of paper on the table.”
"Wha…what?"
He curled his lips coldly." There are three pieces of paper on it. They are Poison, White Silk, and Suzhou Camp. Whichever one you choose, do as written on it.”
"You…you want me to die?"
"You should remember that I told you before. If you dare to break your promise and betray me again, I won't forgive you.”
"I didn't betray you, I really just went to deliver food for Zhongying…"
Ye Lui Long Hao turned around abruptly, his tiger eyes glaring at her," I saw it with my own eyes, why do you have to argue? Do you know why I haven't been around these past few days? Because I was busy mobilizing troops and Xiahou Ming's men from Duolan City and replacing them with a group of loyal and reliable people. And you went to see him behind my back? Are you so lonely that you have to find him to fill in the gap when I'm not around?”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned." I... I didn't know. I didn't know you were going to deal with the matters in Dolan City. If I knew, I wouldn't..."
"You won't do anything? You won't go see Luo Zhongying openly, right? Duanmu Xiji, you deserve to die!" Furious, he pulled her up from the ground without any pity and dragged her to the square table." Choose, choose one yourself!”
"No, I can't! I don't choose, I didn't betray you, I didn't betray you, there's nothing between me and Zhong Ying, I don't choose!”
"Not choosing?" He smiled coldly." Since you don't want to choose when I give you a chance, you can just send me to the Suzhou camp. You can't resist loneliness anyway, right?”
Duanmu Xiji was heartbroken." You…In your eyes, am I such a shameless woman?”
"Isn't it?"
" You…" She nodded fiercely." Okay, I choose, I choose!"”
She walked forward generously, and without thinking, she randomly took one and handed it to Yelu Long Hao," You execute it! In any case, my life and death are no longer something I can decide. It doesn't matter where I go or what happens.”
Ye Lui Long Hao took the note and tore it into pieces without even looking at it. He turned around and picked up a cup of wine on the table," Drink this cup of wine."”
Duanmu Xiji looked at him, trying to find a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but she couldn't. All she found was indifference and heartlessness, which made her completely despair.
She took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, then humbly bowed to Yelu Long Hao," Your Majesty, I have drunk the poisoned wine as you instructed. May I leave now?"”
Unexpectedly, Yelu Long Hao shook his head," No, you have to stay here. I want to see you die with my own eyes."”
" You..." Duanmu Xiji was furious. She pointed at him but couldn't say a word.
"Xi 'er, you let me down first. This is just a lesson for you to remember that you're my woman, my woman. I won't allow any other man to exist in your heart, understand?”
Duanmu Xiji's eyes widened when she felt a sudden burning sensation in her lower abdomen. Beads of sweat poured down from her forehead and body. Soon, Duanmu Xiji was drenched.
" This is…this is…" The heat flow that kept burning up from her lower abdomen made her heart beat faster and she could not even breathe.
Ye Lui Long Hao didn't say anything. He just looked at her quietly, watching her burning with desire, watching her tear off her clothes piece by piece because she couldn't control the heat in her body.
"You…What did you make me eat?”She stumbled and ran in front of Yelu Long Hao in pain to grab him." What did you make me eat? Why am I so sad? Why?"
Yelu Long Hao still didn't speak, but pulled her into his arms.
Duanmu Xiji was even sadder. It was fine if he didn't kiss her, but when he kissed her, it aroused the desire in her body, making her entire body hurt. Her entire body was yearning for him and calling out to him.
She couldn't control the high fever in her body and tugged at Yelu Longhao's clothes. Her snake-like body wrapped around him tightly," Emperor, please, please…"
Yelu Long Hao still didn't say anything, but at the same time, he pushed Duanmu Xiji away and stood up.
"Men, lock the door. Without my orders, no one is allowed to come in or look around.”
"Yes, sir."#
