Chapter 153 Another World
At this moment, a guard came over, untied the rope around Yiluo's ankle, and gave him a hard push on the back.
Yi Luo staggered forward a few steps, squinted hard, and after confirming that Yuan Lie was pointing at him, he slowly walked to the dragon throne, stammering as if he wanted to say something.
Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes and gestured for the guard to remove the handkerchief from Yi Luo's mouth.
Yi Luo lowered her eyes and said, "Yuan Lie, I know I was wrong that day. I just wanted to tease you. Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to harm you... If you are angry, you can kill me or do whatever you want with me, I only ask that you spare your husband..."
Yuan Lie slowly raised his eyes to look at Yi Luo, then suddenly kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying from beside the dragon throne to Lu Nian's side below the stage.
Lu Nian struggled to help Yi Luo, but with her body bound and a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, she couldn't utter any words of concern and could only groan anxiously...
After lying on the ground and panting for a couple of breaths, Yi Luo spat out a mouthful of blood, and everything went black before his eyes…
His eyes... he's completely blind...
Seeing how heavy Yuan Lie's blows were, everyone glared angrily at Yuan Lie on the dragon throne.
Mo Ting angrily said, "Yuan Lie! You've gone too far! We're both husbands' men, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. Why did you have to be so ruthless?"
Yuan Lie's fingers slowly traced the corner of Jiang Qingyan's lips as he coldly said, "Excessive? Do you know what he said and did to me? If Ouyang hadn't rescued me in time, I would probably have died at his hands long ago!"
Remembering that the fire in the side hall was inextricably linked to Yi Luo, Mo Ting's voice gradually lowered.
He said softly, "But you're alive and well now, aren't you? Forgive and forget. If your husband knew you'd become like this, do you think he'd still want you?"
Mentioning Jiang Qingyan, Yuan Lie's heart trembled slightly. Yes, if her husband knew...
No, when Yi Luo went to the side hall to humiliate him while he was ill, didn't her husband know about it? Didn't he approve of it? And he even deprived her of the days he was allowed to serve him in bed…
Yuan Lie sneered, "So what if you know? She has so many men, she may not have them all in her heart! Anyway, from now on she can only have me. Even if you all die today, so what?"
Having said that, he had a new plan in mind...
Since Mo Ting said, "One should be lenient when one can," then let Mo Ting and the others experience the pain he felt that day as well.
However… I'm quite curious to see if they'll be as easygoing as they say, truly embracing the idea of "forgiving others when possible"...
Yuan Lie ordered the guards in the hall, "All of you close your eyes and turn around! If even one of you dares to peek, I will gouge out your eyes and feed them to the dogs!"
Upon receiving the order, all the guards turned around in unison and closed their eyes tightly.
Yuan Lie slowly rose and lifted Jiang Qingyan into his arms, gently placing her on the table in front of the dragon throne. Then he bent down and removed her clothes one by one...
Mo Ting angrily said, "Yuan Lie, stop! What are you doing to my husband? He is ill; you will kill him!"
Although Yi Luo couldn't see anything, she could sense from Mo Ting's tone that her husband seemed to be in danger.
He struggled to his feet, trying to rush over, but the pain in his abdomen made it impossible for him to move. He only managed a few steps before collapsing to the ground again…
To prevent Mo Ting and his group from making a move, Yuan Lie had already ordered his men to tie their hands and feet, so even getting up was now a problem for them…
They could only watch helplessly as Yuan Lie made his next move...
After Jiang Qingyan's last undergarment was removed, the men below the stage were already red-eyed with rage, wishing they could rush up and tear Yuan Lie to pieces...
Their beloved husband, whom they cherished and treasured, was now on the verge of death, yet he was still being publicly humiliated by Yuan Lie…
They were filled with rage and wanted to stop them but were powerless. They could only use all their strength to break free of the ropes, and even though their bodies were already covered in blood from being strangled, they still struggled and refused to give up...
Yuan Lie stared at Jiang Qingyan's body with lustful eyes, wishing he could devour her whole so that no man would ever want her again...
While in a coma, Jiang Qingyan seemed to be in another world.
There, she was still the Empress, but without any real power. Every step she took in the palace was fraught with difficulty. After only one year on the throne, she was brutally murdered in the palace by the Empress Dowager…
Her men were either sold to brothels, hacked to death, torn apart by five horses, or stripped naked and gang-raped in the street…
Her soul floated in mid-air, watching helplessly as the men she loved suffered this calamity, powerless to protect them. She felt such deep hatred…
Unbeknownst to her, a hot tear slowly rolled down her cheek, so hot that Yuan Lie instantly stopped what he was doing…
He immediately came to his senses, put Jiang Qingyan's clothes back on, and then pulled her into his arms.
What on earth is he doing to the woman he loves...?
He's a beast...
Yuan Lie slapped himself hard and shouted towards the door, "Why hasn't the army doctor arrived yet?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the army doctor trotted in, knelt down and greeted the king, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Majesty."
Yuan Lie said coldly, "Come quickly and see how my queen is doing!"
The military doctor quickly got up and walked to the dragon throne, placing his fingers on Jiang Qingyan's wrist to carefully take her pulse.
A moment later, the army doctor's brows furrowed more and more, and finally he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Majesty... the Queen... has contracted the plague!"
Yuan Lie grabbed the army doctor by the collar, frowning as he said, "Epidemic? How is that possible? Her symptoms are exactly the same as mine before, just a high fever caused by a cold, how could it become an epidemic?"
Cold sweat streamed down the army doctor's face as he lowered his eyes and said, "Although both have high fevers, the King and Queen's pulses are completely different. I'm quite certain that the Queen has contracted the plague..."
Yuan Lie shook his head and said angrily, "Nonsense! The Queen clearly only has a cold! Go and prepare medicine for the Queen! Use the same medicine that I drank the other day!"
Seeing Yuan Lie's burning anger, the military doctor dared not argue any further and could only tremble as he ran to prepare the medicine.
Shen Yuan clutched the prescription in her hand, nearly frantic with worry. If they delayed any longer, her husband would truly be in danger…
She couldn't bear to watch her husband die before her eyes again...
Yuan Lie held Jiang Qingyan tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Husband... I know I was wrong... I shouldn't have treated you like that... I shouldn't have led the troops into the palace... As long as you get better, I promise I'll listen to you... Don't scare me... Please open your eyes..."
