Long Chi had been demoted to Prince of Xuyang, the coldest and most barren place in Great Shang. The Emperor must have cast him there on purpose to cut off all his escape routes.

It was all over; there was no going back.

Lu Yunshuang’s mind went blank, but when she saw Lu Liangwei sitting upright beside the Emperor, hatred flared up in her.

How could Lu Liangwei remain high up in the air and enjoy everything while she was crushed into the dirt?

Overwhelmed with envy and hatred, she could not help crying out, “Lu Liangwei, you killed my mother, and now you’ve taken everything from me. Why don’t you just die?”

“How dare you!”

Long Yang’s face darkened, and before Ling Lihua could make a move, he lashed out.

A raging gale was blasted straight toward Lu Yunshuang.

She was still cursing when the gale abruptly swept her out of the house.

Bam!

Aloud crash resounded, startling everyone.

Zeng Lunan was the first to recover his senses; he rushed out, ignoring the wound on his shoulder.

Alas, he was only greeted with the sight of Lu Yunshuang sprawled across the ground, unable to get up.

The next moment, the Emperor’s wrathful voice resonated from inside the house.

“Zhao Qian, pass on my order—Lady Lu has brazenly disrespected the Empress and therefore shall be demoted to commoner status and exiled a thousand Li from the imperial capital.”

‘When Zeng Lunan heard this, he was so distressed that it did not even cross his mind to help Lu Yunshuang up and instead dashed back inside and knelt before Long Yang. “Your Majesty, please have mercy on Lady Lu and spare her this once.”

Long Yang’s face was stony, and his voice was chilling. “Spare her this once?”

Zeng Lunan broke out in a cold sweat and prostrated himself on the floor. “Yes, I’m begging you to spare my daughter just this once, Your Majesty. She didn’t mean to curse the Empress, so please give her a chance to change for the better.”

Long Yang was enraged. “To curse the Empress so openly means that she holds no respect for the Empress at all, and who knows what other profanities she utters in private? I’ve already shown mercy by not executing her on the spot, yet you still want me to spare her?”

Zeng Lunan tumed pale with fright. As a mere commoner, he was already beyond shocked to see the Emperor in person today, but he did not expect that he would even have to face the Emperor’s wrath, It was all he could do to not cower in fear.

However, when he remembered that the person on the ground outside was his daughter, he could not bring himself to abandon her. Even so, the Emperor would definitely not take back his order right now. In a state of panic, he gritted his teeth and said, “I know that Lady Lu was wrong to curse the

Empress, so could you let me take the punishment for her, Your Majesty? I-I… As long as it can cease your anger, I’m willing to die in her place.”

Long Yang shot him a look of surprise. “You’re not afraid of death?”

Zeng Lunan lowered his head even more. His legs were still shaking uncontrollably in the face of the Emperor’s fury. He would have preferred to not confront the Emperor if possible.

However—

“Of course I am afraid, but Lady Lu’s my daughter. How could I watch her get punished without doing anything? So please, Your Majesty, I beg you to reduce her punishment and give her a chance to mend her ways,” Zeng Lunan pleaded in a trembling voice.

Long Yang eyed him in astonishment. “Your love for your daughter is indeed touching, but before you pleaded for mercy, you didn’t know anything about her and the dreadful things she’s done. Actually, I’ve wanted to punish her for a long time, but I tolerated her for the sake of the Empress and the Grand

Duke Family. However, she still refuses to accept her situation or repent in the slightest, and she even insulted and cursed the Empress just now. No matter who intercedes for her today, I will not spare her!”

Hearing this, Lu Liangwei could not help glancing at him, feeling a little warm and touched inside.

The main reason the Emperor was so angry was that he could not stand other people insulting her, right?
