Hua Mujiao raised his eyes and stared coldly at the man. The killing intent in his eyes made the man retreat continuously as his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Damned woman, why are you staring at me like that? Even if I, the Emperor, were to come today, I wouldn't be able to save you."

At the same time, in the Qian House.

"I do not know that General Guan and Commander Nan have come. This official has come far to welcome you. Please forgive me."

Entering the main hall of the Qian House, Shangguan Yi glanced at the respectful Master Qian with a serious expression.

"Master Qian, why isn't there anyone reporting to the gatekeepers in your residence?" No matter how poor you are, you shouldn't be this poor, right? "

With an embarrassed smile, Lord Qian did not know how to respond to Shangguan Yi.

He had just heard from the maidservants that all the servants in the mansion had been called out by his disappointing son.

"May I ask what are your orders, General?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi sighed deeply.

"Sigh, to be honest, Sir Qian said that today, this general followed the emperor's decree to accompany Empress Xi for some matters, but not long after I left the palace, I lost the Empress. Originally, it was a secret that I left the palace, and the matter of finding the Empress should not be made public, but I heard that Sir Qian has a wide network of connections, so I'm not sure if you'd be willing to send someone to look for them for me?"

Secret decree?

When Lord Qian heard this, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile.

He hurriedly stepped forward and smiled apologetically, "Of course, since the general has ordered it, this official will do everything in his power to bring the Empress back."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Qian."

"Don't dare, don't dare. This official will immediately send someone to look for him. General and Commander, please wait here."

Seeing Shangguan Yi sit down, the maidservant drank the tea she had prepared. Lord Qian turned and walked out of the hall, whispering to the butler waiting outside. "Hurry, send someone to get the young master back. Tell the servants to go find Lady Xi. We can't delay this any longer."

The butler looked troubled.

"This, old master, this servant does not know where the young master brought the servants, how do I find them?"

Hearing this, Sir Qian glared at the butler and growled angrily, "Who knows which family's girl that stinking brat went to snatch? General Shangguan must not know about this, so quickly …"

"Dad, I'm back. Look, I brought back a beautiful girl today. She's much more beautiful than the women I brought back."

Before Lord Qian could finish his words, Young Master Qian brought a servant and a woman into the mansion.

Looking around the hall in fear, Lord Qian was afraid that Shangguan Yi would come out and find out that his son had tried to rob a civilian daughter.

"You stinking brat, hurry up and send them to the secret cell. Someone from the mansion is here, don't let them see."

Lord Qian did not even have the time to look at the woman he was holding, as he hurriedly ordered his servants to hide her.

"Lord Qian, long time no see."

The woman suddenly opened her mouth, causing Mister Qian's heart to skip a beat. When he saw that the woman being held was Hua Mu Jin, he widened his eyes in shock and his mouth was wide open.

"Ta, mother …"

"Bastard, you seem to know my father?" But it's useless to know each other. Today, I'm going to make you mine. "

"Pa …"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face by Mister Qian.

"You, you bastard, you, you've caused a disaster. You all, quickly let go! Don't, don't hurt esteemed wangfei, hurry and let go! "

Lord Qian trembled as he ordered the servants. Then, he kneeled down on the ground with a thump.

"Imperial Concubine Xi, my son is ignorant and offended Imperial Concubine Xi. Please forgive him."

At the same time that Lord Qian was kneeling, he wanted to pull Young Master Qian to his knees. However, since Young Master Qian's body was so large, he had no idea what was going on. Naturally, he did not want to kneel.

"Father, what are you doing? What sort of empress? How can this b * tch be esteemed Empress Xi? Aren't those concubines all living in the palace? How can you be outside the palace? You're old and can't even see clearly?"

Seeing that Lord Qian was kneeling on the ground, the servant who was holding Hua Mu Jin had already let go.

"You stinking brat, this is Empress Xi, hurry up and kneel down!"

Lord Qian wanted to force Young Master Qian to kneel, but he didn't believe that Mu Jin was Imperial Concubine Xi, so he shook off his hand and took a step forward to touch Mu Jin.

"Bastard, how could you be …"

However, just as Young Master Qian reached out his hand, a figure flashed like lightning and kicked him far away.

"This subordinate's protection of the lord is at a disadvantage. I hope that the Empress can punish me!"

Half kneeling on the ground, Nan Ge lowered his head and respectfully greeted.

"To allow me to be humiliated, it is the right punishment!" However, the matter of punishing you should be handed over to the Emperor.

"This subject Shangguan Yi greets the Empress."

At this time, Shangguan Yi walked out of the main hall, also bowing to the flower hibiscus.

Looking into Shangguan Yi's eyes, Hua Mujiao swept a cold glance at the kneeling servants and the shivering Master Qian, and a cold sneer appeared on her face.

"Lord Qian, how dare you! Not only did you allow your own son to rob a commoner, but you even dared to rob me! Do you know what kind of punishment this is?!"

"This humble subject knows his crimes, this humble subject is unable to teach his son. I hope that the Empress will forgive this offense, and I beg that the Empress forgive this offense."

Lord Qian was even more frightened by Hua Mu Jin's cold words.

Seeing this, Young Master Qian, who was kicked far away, was also frightened.

He had never imagined that the woman he would casually capture would actually be the empress of the imperial harem.

"Esteemed Empress, your face …"

Hua Mujie was about to speak, but Shangguan Yi beat him to it.

Looking at the obvious fingerprints on her face, Shangguan Yi's body radiated a strong killing intent.

"Hmph, this is all thanks to Lord Qian's good son."

Hearing Hua Mu Jin's words, Lord Qian raised his head to look. Hua Mu Jin's face really had the imprint of a slap. With that, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore.

"You, how could you possibly be …?!" "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

At this moment, Young Master Qian dragged his body over. The fear in his heart made him even more unwilling to believe that the woman in front of him was Empress Xi.

"Hmph! Lord Qian, you really taught me a good son. You dare to be disrespectful to me when you're about to die? Nan Ge, cripple his legs!"

"Yes, Empress."

Seeing Young Master Qian's fat head and big ears, Hua Mujiao felt disgusted.

"No, no, you can't. I, I'm the imperial concubine's cousin. You can't treat me like this."

"Empress, I beg of you to forgive me. This humble subject is old and only one son. I beg of you to forgive me. Please spare him."

Seeing Nan Ge pull out the sword at his waist, young master Qian, who had been enveloped by fear, quickly retreated.

Lord Qian, who had been kneeling, also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Nan Ge, do it!"

Ignoring Lord Qian's pleas for mercy, Hua Mujiao immediately ordered Nan Ge to make his move.

"Ah! Father, save, save me …"

Just as Hua Mujiao finished her sentence, she heard Young Master Qian's pig-like scream.

As for his tendons, they had been cut off by Nan Ge, and blood was pouring out of them.

"Esteemed Empress, this humble subject's godson is useless. I hope esteemed imperial concubine can spare him this time on account of her sake. This humble subject has kowtowed to esteemed wangfei. I beg you to spare him."

Seeing the tendons on his beloved son's legs being cut off, Lord Qian's heart ached.

At the same time, he also felt hatred towards Hua Mu Jin.

"Spare him? Mr. Qian, I see that you are really old and muddleheaded. As the emperor's concubine, not only did your son attack me, he even wanted to attack me. You have to understand, this is a capital offense to skin and tendons. It's only been a single leg, and Lord Qian is already so heartbroken? "

In the Huan Yue Country, attempting to take over the concubine concubine was a great crime. If he didn't want to skin her, he would have to tear her apart. Lord Qian was well aware of this.

However, since he was the son of an elder, Lord Qian was extremely fond of his son.

Now that his legs had been crippled, how could he not feel heartache?

"Esteemed Empress, please spare my son's life for the sake of esteemed imperial concubine."

He had no choice but to bring the imperial concubine out once again.

Right now, he could only hope that on account of his Imperial Consort, Hua Mujiao would spare his son.

At least, spare his life.

"Imperial Consort? "Hmph …"

With a cold snort, Hua Mujiao sat down on a chair brought over by Nan Ge. She turned to Shangguan Yi and asked, "General Shangguan, do you know who the imperial concubine of this man is?"

With a smile, Shangguan Yi glanced at Lord Qian and said, "I assume that the imperial concubine of the Qian Family is Imperial Concubine Fu."

In truth, Hua Mu Jin was very clear that this Imperial Concubine Fu was Ye Yi Xin.

It was just that she pretended to be confused.

"Oh, really? Then I, your highness, will really give Imperial Concubine Fu face by sparing his life. "

Upon hearing Hua Mujiao's words, Lord Qian's hanging heart finally relaxed.

However, in the next second, Hua Mujiao's' but 'heart was once again lifted.

"But Sir Qian, you can't just let the matter of your son hitting this palace go like this. Otherwise, if this news spreads, not only will the emperor be shamed, but the emperor will also be shamed. Lord Qian, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

"This, this humble subject …"

Hua Mujiao threw those words to Lord Qian, but she was clear that he would not be able to say anything.

"Lord Qian, I assume you're aware that death penalty can be avoided and it's difficult to escape from death." "As for me, I am not a cruel and merciless person. As long as Lord Qian can personally chop off Young Master Qian's hand, then this matter will be settled."

Hua Mujiao's words completely paralyzed Lord Qian on the ground.

"Esteemed Empress, this … this can't be! My son's legs are already crippled! If he were to chop off one of his hands, how would he live?!"

"How?"

With a cold laugh, Hua Mu Jin's face didn't change in the slightest from his pleas.

"Then, Lord Qian, tell me, how will you let me live if word of this gets out that your son insulted me today?"

With a stern voice, Lord Qian had nothing else to ask for.

Looking at Young Master Qian, who was about to faint due to the blood from his severed tendons, Mister Qian gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists.

"Father, no, no! I don't want to, I don't want to become a cripple! Father, save me, save me …"

Hua Mu Jin's words scared Young Master Qian so much that he couldn't stop trembling.

"Empress, if you really want to cripple his hand again, then please give my son a quick death!"

He couldn't bear to see his son crippled again. Lord Qian gritted his teeth and begged Hua Mujiao to grant him death.

Begging for death?

With a sneer, Hua Mu Jin's eyes became as cold as ice.

"Master Qian, are you not planning to let him live?" Since you want to court death, let's flay the skin and pull the tendons out! "

"You …"

Staring angrily at Hua Mu Jin, Qian Chao didn't expect her to say this.

"Imperial Concubine Xi, could it be that even this humble subject wants to seek happiness for my son, but you won't allow it?"
