The Empress Wants a Divorce Every Day

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Giving Her Dignity

Amidst the crowd, someone saw this scene and couldn’t help but scream: ”Ah.”

”What’s going on? Didn’t you hear it?”

”Perhaps.”

The commoners were saying all sorts of things, but many dared not watch the scene, instinctively closing their eyes. Unfortunately, the executioner’s blade did not fall, but was instead knocked out of his hand by a rock that flew in mid-air.

Not far away, Rong Ling had already gotten off the carriage with Feng Qing, and their group slowly made their way to the edge of the execution platform.

Vice Minister Wen, witnessing the failed execution, tried hard to keep his composure, not wanting Rong Ling to notice any flaw.

Rong Ling had led Feng Qing to the edge of the execution platform, his deep eyes staring at Vice Minister Wen and the others approaching.

Vice Minister Wen, looking into Rong Ling’s eyes as deep as a cold pool, felt his legs start to tremble involuntarily.

He always felt that this Prince seemed to see through everything, knowing everything that should be known.

The more Vice Minister Wen thought about it, the more panicked he became, his face looking extremely ugly. However, he still didn’t lose control, leading the officials of the Ministry of Justice to respectfully salute Rong Ling.

”This official greets Prince Yong and Princess Yong.”

Rong Ling shot Vice Minister Wen a sharp glance with his black eyes, then calmly said, ”Vice Minister Wen has worked hard, the reason the Princess Consort and I came here is to see Han Family off. Han Family, after all, is a person of the Prince Yong Mansion, even though she has committed heinous crimes, I cannot just stand by and watch her leave without doing anything.”

Rong Ling’s words were gentle and unhurried, but Vice Minister Wen listened with cold sweat breaking out all over his body, as if needles were pricking his back.

He felt that today’s matter would not end well, and he had a premonition that he was in big trouble.

Vice Minister Wen’s trembling legs felt weaker, almost unable to stand, and his words came out stammering.

”Prince, Prince, this official, this official...” ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Rong Ling, however, no longer paid him any mind, but turned warmly to Feng Qing and said, ”Princess, go tidy up for Han Family, let her leave clean even in death.”

Feng Qing knew Rong Ling’s purpose in asking her to do this, and did not refuse, speaking respectfully: ”Yes, Prince.”

Rong Ling and Feng Qing spoke calmly and composedly, but Vice Minister Wen was blown away by the information in their words, feeling as if his organs were being displaced.

For Princess Yong to personally tidy up for Han Family, wouldn’t she find out that the person on the platform was not Han Family at all?

If such a thing were exposed under the watchful eyes of the crowd, how could he survive?

Vice Minister Wen could no longer control himself and shouted, ”Prince, it’s not possible.”

Rong Ling turned his head, his eyes cold and fierce, and said, ”Why not?”

Vice Minister Wen, with a pale face, said, ”Prince, Han Family is already a condemned prisoner, and she should be executed now. I hope the Prince does not disturb this official in carrying out the execution.”

Rong Ling nodded, ”Vice Minister Wen’s words are mistaken. I have no intention of disturbing Vice Minister Wen in carrying out the execution. I simply want to see Han Family off properly. Though her crimes are unforgivable, since she entered the Prince Mansion, I’ve been ill and couldn’t attend to her. Considering that a young woman ended up like this, I can’t bear it, so I came to say goodbye.”

After Rong Ling finished speaking, he didn’t look at Vice Minister Wen anymore but turned his gaze to the female prisoner on the platform, saying, ”Once the first beauty of Dayan, the County Princess Guangling conferred by the Empress Dowager, it pains me to see her in such a desolate state at death, so I asked the Princess Consort to tidy her up a bit.”

”The Princess Consort, being the main wife of the Prince Yong Mansion, and Han being a concubine, her personally tidying up for Han is to give Han some dignity.”
