In an instant, all the servants in King Changle's mansion were forced to gather in the garden of the western courtyard. All servants of all parts should kneel down and obey. Their faces were filled with worry, as if today they would die at the hands of their own king.
Yeah, of course you are. If there was a slight mistake in saying, or something was trying to be covered up, King Changle would not spare them. The War God Bingyue who was famous for her ferocity on the battlefield would naturally not be merciful for the life of a lowly servant like them.
Xiao Junjie who was surprised because Cui Kong forced all his servants could not help his curiosity. He followed the entourage of servants and did not ask because he wanted Baili Qingchen himself to answer him.
Cui Kong couldn't possibly have acted under the orders of the Empress Princess, right?
However, he was surprised when the place all the servants were going to was the western courtyard. This place made his mood deteriorate.
The Princess Empress. Did Cui Kong really submit to him? Xiao Junjie was furious, then forced to step foot into the western courtyard.
He came back surprised because Baili Qingchen was also there. The sharp eyes of his beloved man were shrouded in flames of anger that he had never seen before.
Seeing it from a considerable distance already gave him goosebumps. In the past three years, it was only this time that Xiao Junjie saw Baili Qingchen's hideous angry expression.
“A-Chen, what happened?” he walked towards Baili Qingchen.
“Stop and don't get close!” the Sentak Baili Qingchen.
In anger, Baili Qingchen could not tell people apart. Everyone before him could be guilty, including Xiao Junjie. The man instantly stopped his steps and his heart almost jumped out due to the high tone of Baili Qingchen's voice.
Baili Qingchen had just snapped at him and Xiao Junjie's heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by a needle. Some people feel sick, but do not bleed.
The pain spread to all parts of the body, until Xiao Junjie naturally stopped and obeyed his words. His clear eyes stared at Baili Qingchen from ten meters away, among the kneeling servants.
“Give yourself or I will check it out myself?” said the man was full of emphasis.
All the servants lowered their heads, not daring to speak a word. They were afraid that if one said, King Changle would kill them.
Baili Qingchen clenched her hands and the corners of her eyes turned red. Right now, he was like a demon that had been possessed by anger. Cui Kong then inspected the servants one by one and searched them while Baili Qingchen was busy with the threat of anger. After all, the culprit must still be here.
“Your Highness, this waiter is suspicious!”
Cui Kong dragged a round-faced female servant in front of Baili Qingchen. During the examination, this servant looked agitated and like he was hiding something. Cui Kong inspected his body, then found a small bottle filled with a colorless and odorless liquid.
Baili Qingchen looked at the servant angrily.
“Say! Who told you to?”
The waiter was silent.
“Are you deaf? Who told you to?”
Until several times asked, the servant remained silent like a statue. This made Baili Qingchen even more furious. With a quick movement, he plucked the sword in Cui Kong's right hand from its sheath and pointed it at the servant's neck. The servant's body began to tremble.
The moonlight bounced over the clear surface of the sword. Everyone fell in deep fear. Baili Qingchen's patience ran out, then her hand swung the sword in a split second movement.
The servant's neck was slashed and blood spurted out, making all the kneeling servants cower in fear.
“People who dare to hurt my Empress Princess will end up dead!”
Xiao Junjie was dumbstruck where he stood. He couldn't believe what happened a few seconds ago. Baili Qingchen, he.... had just killed a servant with a single slash of a sword?
During his life with her, Xiao Junjie had never seen Baili Qingchen this angry. He was indeed the God of War, but when a servant made a mistake, at most he would simply drive him out of the residence or imprison him. Never killed openly.
“Isn't that the maid from the Prince Consort's residence?” said one of the other servants. The others nodded.
Xiao Junjie was shocked. He walked over, then clearly saw the corpse of the servant who had just been decapitated. His eyes were in disbelief. This servant actually came from his residence in the northern courtyard! Xiao Junjie was sculpting, while Baili Qingchen was looking at him sharply.
“Xiao Junjie, is that true?”
The man even called Xiao Junjie by his full name, not by his usual nickname or title call. It showed that the anger of Baili Qingchen was not playful.
Xiao Junjie's expression slowly changed, he turned around and looked at Baili Qingchen doubtfully.
“It's true. But, I really didn't tell her. How could I do such a thing?”
Xiao Junjie's voice shook. How could a weak man who did not even dare to step on a bunch of ants tell a servant to try to kill someone?
Even if he hated Qingyi, he would not act as foolish as poisoning her directly. Shit, why is it like this?
The more the night, Baili Qingchen's aura grew even more sinister. Except for Cui Kong, the man saw everyone like enemies on the battlefield.
“A-Chen, I really didn't do it,” Xiao Junjie said once again.
However, Baili Qingchen's ears had been covered by an enormous wave of anger. Xiao Junjie's words did not enter his heart.
The man who had been with him for three years was now like a stranger. Given this, as well as this situation, Xiao Junjie looked extremely pitiful.
“I know, but you're still guilty. As an employer, you can't even manage your own subordinates to the point of daring to hurt Princess Consort Changle. Go and reflect carefully on your mistakes!” baili Qingchen. Everyone looked up and stared in disbelief.
King Changle had just scolded the Little Prince! This was the first time their king had been so angry at his beloved Little Prince!
Everyone hoped it was just a dream, but the blood of the dead servant's body was decapitated to make them realize that this was not a dream. It was a very historic bloody night!
“A-Chen, you really want to lock me up?”
“Did I not say it clearly? Go and reflect carefully on your mistake, Little Prince!”
Without staring again, King Changle immediately turned around and left from the western courtyard garden. His wide footsteps stepped on the courtyard of the building where the Princess Empress lived.
Cui Kong then ordered that the body of the servant was immediately buried and the place should be cleaned immediately. Do not let the Princess Empress get angry because the page is dirty after waking up later.
Inside the room, Baili Qingchen's gaze fell on Qingyi's body lying on her back on the bed. The face was still pale, yet it had started to color back.
The court physician advised Baili Qingchen to keep her awake and to give her medicine immediately after awakening, before the healer was sent back to the palace.
The man's breath was soft and felt very tired. His anger slowly dimmed with time. For a while, he was still shaking.
Then, Baili Qingchen's hand picked up a set of clean clothes from inside the closet. He closed his eyes with a cloth, then began to pull the knots of Qingyi's clothes one by one and replace them with new ones.
“This outfit is too dirty. My Princess Empress's clothes should not be stained with any blood,” she muttered after she was done.
Baili Qingchen also wiped the dried up remnants of blood on some parts of the girl's body. That night, Baili Qingchen woke up and continued to take care of Qingyi.
