The Emperor immediately felt that something was wrong and strode into Shulan Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Consort An’s corpse lying on the cold ground. Her once beautiful face was now covered in black and blue. Her tongue was hanging outside her cherry lips that he couldn’t kiss enough. She stared at him with resigned eyes.
The Emperor suddenly saw such a terrifying scene and was so frightened that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground. Eunuch An quickly went over to help the Emperor and used his body to block Consort An’s corpse, repeatedly calling out for the Emperor.
“All…”
After a long time, the Emperor let out a hysterical roar and walked towards the palace of Imperial Concubine Wan like a madman.
“Emperor, please calm down.”
Eunuch An chased after him and tried to persuade him. The Emperor was so angry that he could not care less about anything else. His Dragon Son, his beloved concubine…
How dare that b * tch, Imperial Concubine Wan?
How dare she?
Eunuch An saw that he couldn’t persuade him, so he stopped. He silently followed behind the Emperor and wanted to see if he dared act like this when he arrived at n.o.ble Concubine Wan’s palace. He thought that the Emperor would be the same as every time he saw Imperial Concubine Wan, his anger would disappear, and he would go to comfort her.
Imperial Concubine Wan had already received the news. She knew the Emperor had come to her palace in anger, but she did not panic. She dressed up beautifully and waited to welcome the Emperor.
The Emperor had just stepped into the Wan Fei Palace when she knelt slowly. Her sweet voice was as pleasant as the singing of orioles,”
“ChenQie greets the Emperor. It has been a long time since I last saw the Emperor. ChenQie misses you very much.”
The Emperor angrily kicked her on the shoulder as soon as she finished speaking. Imperial Concubine Wan was still waiting for the Emperor to help her up so she could fall into his arms. She was unprepared for the Emperor to beat her up and fall to the ground suddenly.
There was a flash of hatred in Imperial Concubine Wan’s eyes, but it immediately turned into a pitiful and terrified look.
“Emperor, ChenQie is terrified. 1 don’t know how to anger ShengYan. Please forgive me because my father and brother sacrificed their lives for the Great Xia Kingdom.”
She thought that this time, she could pa.s.s the test as easily as before. As long as she acted coquettishly and brought out her father and brother, the Emperor would turn the matter into a small case and dissipate his anger before lingering with her.
She didn’t know that the Emperor had feelings for Consort An. He felt guilty for not protecting the child in her stomach, and now he couldn’t save Consort An. The Emperor was furious and had already decided to kill her.
The Emperor didn’t say a word and punched and kicked her, causing her to roll over. The Emperor hated the pain of hitting his palm, so he ordered someone to bring a whip and beat her without caring about her face.
Soon, the graceful and elegant Imperial Concubine Wan was beaten until her skin and flesh were torn apart. She cried until her voice was hoa.r.s.e, shouting for the Emperor to spare her life.
This time, she was terrified. Was the Emperor crazy today? Did he not even want the country?
At this moment, other than begging for mercy, she did not dare to say anything to provoke him.
The Emperor was determined to kill Imperial Concubine Wan today to avenge Concubine An and his children, who died in vain. The whip never stopped, no matter how much the people begged for mercy. Imperial Concubine Wan was whipped until she was covered in blood and barely breathing. She even knelt on the ground and begged the Emperor to spare her. The palace maids and nannies in her palace also knelt on the floor and begged the Emperor to spare the Empress.
The Emperor looked at Imperial Concubine Wan lying on the ground like a dog and still felt unsatisfied. He drew out the waist knife of his close guard and cut her neck in front of her frightened eyes. Imperial Concubine Wan covered her neck and fell into a pool of blood. Blood splattered everywhere. She died with grievances.
Everyone in the palace was frightened. The Emperor killed Imperial Concubine Wan?
“Leave no one alive.”
The Emperor only calmed down after killing Imperial Concubine Wan. He realized he had made a big mistake only after he calmed down. He ordered people to kill all the people in Imperial Concubine Wan’s palace. This matter must not be known to the Wan family.
However, he understood that this matter could not be hidden for long. He still had to think of a foolproof plan. The Emperor’s eyes were gloomy as he ordered Eunuch An,
“Send a secret order for An Fei’s second brother to enter the palace.”
While the palace battles in the capital continued, Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were busy building Mo City. The winery had been built, and the city guards had also cut down a lot of wood.
However, the problem was that hooping a wine barrel was a skill. The wine would leak if the wooden wine barrel were not properly hooped.
Su Qing made the first pot of liquor. Without barrels, it would be impossible to transport it to Tartan for money. Qiu Yongkang had already gone to find a craftsman who knew how to tie up the barrels. Once the barrels were made, they would be sent to Tartan.
After Ji Shuisheng returned to Mo City, he handed over the warhorses to Cheng Yu, who was overjoyed. He immediately equipped the warhorses in the team to be like tigers with wings in battle.
After finishing his work, Ji Shuisheng went to the winery to work with Su Qing. The life of killing made people’s hearts cold and hard, but when he was with Su Qing, his heart softened. Looking at her busy figure made them feel inexplicably happy.
Su Qing scooped a bowl of white wine and handed it to Ji Shuisheng.
“Shuisheng, try it.”
Her beautiful big eyes looked at Ji Shuisheng as she handed over a coa.r.s.e porcelain bowl filled with freshly brewed wine.
The wine had a pleasant fragrance and was transparent and translucent. Because of Su Qing’s actions, the clear white wine rippled in the rough porcelain bowl, just like Ji Shuisheng’s current heart.
When he took the wine bowl, their hands were held together. Su Qing’s hand was soft and smooth, while Ji Shuisheng’s large hand was rough and powerful. They quickly wrapped her hand. Su Qing pulled her hand back and glared at him. He did not realize that there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
“Lecher.”
“Hah.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing’s coquettish appearance and smiled happily. He picked up the bowl and drank all the wine.
“How is it?”
Su Qing quickly asked him. This was her first time brewing wine, and she was eager to know the result of Ji Shuisheng’s taste.
Ji Shuisheng smacked his lips and deliberately did not speak. His head was slightly tilted, and his thick eyebrows were still knitted together as if he was savoring the aftertaste.
“Not good?”
Su Qing was a little unconfident. She scooped a bowl of wine and tasted it herself. It felt good after drinking a mouthful! The taste was spicy, and the wine was mellow. It was as if a heat stream flowed down her throat, and her limbs and bones seemed to warm up instantly.
It was much better than the white wine in the Tartan Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. How could Shuisheng not taste it?
Ji Shuisheng couldn’t help but smile when he saw Su Qing’s confused look. When he saw her drinking, the smile on his lips became even broader. His low voice was filled with joy.
“Delicious. Wine and beauty complement each other. It’s the most intoxicating.”
“You have a glib tongue.”
Su Qing rolled her eyes at Ji Shuisheng. So he was teasing her? Ji Shuisheng smiled even more when he saw Su Qing glaring at him. This was how a girl should look when full of flesh and blood.
Because of the alcohol, Su Qing’s fair face was flushed red, like a peach blossom in full bloom. She was beautiful and charming, and Ji Shuisheng was mesmerized by her.
There were thousands of women worldwide, but only Qing’er entered his heart.
Ji Shuisheng’s blood was boiling after drinking. His low voice was filled with love. He looked at Su Qing with deep and affectionate eyes and held her hand.
“Qing’er, I’m not afraid of the wind and rain with you around. In the past, you suffered the world’s coldness, but 1’11 accompany you to see the world’s prosperity for the rest of my life.”
Qiu Yongkang heard Ji Shuisheng’s words from the other side of the door!
