It was as if she had guessed it long ago, as if she had anticipated it.
The Great Commander glanced back at Her Majesty the Empress, seeing Her Majesty nodding slightly at her. Only then did she turn her face back with a hint of murderous intent.
She looked at the Hidden Guards outside the door, her face full of hostility.
anwhile, the effect of the True Word Gu had already caused so insidious restlessness. Those people, realizing the dire situation, subconsciously turned to flee, but the Great Commander coldly ordered, "Those who attempt to escape, kill them!!"
Thus, the scene beca extrely chaotic. Those few who foolishly attempted to run were imdiately surrounded and slaughtered.
The Great Commander continued to interrogate Jiang Feng, using Jiang Feng’s words to uncover all the traitors.
Today is destined to be a day of bloodshed!
As for so extrely crucial questions, such as when Jiang Feng defected to the Dajin, Yuwen Family, and what he had done for the Yuwen family... on such matters, the Great Commander kept silent, planning to deal with the traitors first and then take Jiang Feng to another place for separate questioning.
All those traitors were executed, and outside there was already a river of blood. The blood had seeped into the soil and spattered against the walls of the house, with bodies lying scattered all around. Even the air was heavy with the stench of blood.
Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do here, Dong Huiying turned to leave. Of course, before departing, she reminded the Great Commander to ’protect the environnt,’ implying that the bodies should be disposed of properly and the house and ground cleaned of bloodstains.
The Great Commander just smiled at this. After Dong Huiying left, the Great Commander had Jiang Feng locked up again and escorted Her Majesty the Empress to another clean room.
"Baowei, this child... has considerable abilities," the Empress said, her hand resting on the wrist of the Great Commander, who cautioned the Empress to mind her step.
The Empress stepped over the threshold and imdiately said, "It’s just that this child is unwilling to enter the court as an official, which is a loss for my Dayuan."
The Great Commander laughed, "Her aspirations lie elsewhere; she has no such ambition."
The Empress sighed again, "Back then, it was my fault for mistrusting her, judging her with suspicion and paranoia."
When Marshal Baowei’s prestige reached a certain level, people across the realm might not know the surna and given na of the Empress on the throne, but they certainly knew the Marshal’s na.
At that ti, the Empress also had so worries. Sitting in that position, it was an unavoidable concern.
But now, thinking back...
"Indeed, Jiujiu had a much better eye than I did." When she suspected the Marshal, fearing he might rebel, Jiujiu assured her that the Marshal would never rebel. Even when Her Majesty the Empress wanted to strip the Marshal of his military power, the two nearly fell out over it. However, it was precisely because the Ninth Princess had quarreled with Her Majesty over this matter that the Empress ultimately didn’t act against the Marshal.
Yet, even though the Empress didn’t act, in the end, the person left the court. Not because he was forced, but by his own request...
After returning from the Empress, Dong Huiying went straight to Yue Ning. Lately, Dong Huiying had been frequently visiting Yue Ning, mainly for the sake of her son Little Star. This made the other brothers quite jealous, and Yue Ning also experienced what it was like to be sidelined.
However, the dim-witted Yue Ning, recently worried about gaining weight and being disliked by his wife, was busily dieting and had no ti to worry about his brothers’ envy.
