Chapter 2808 Xiaoman (Dead)
"Father, don't you love your fifth sister very much?"
"Do you really want to watch her suffer this disaster?"
"Father, please, spare the Fifth Sister this time!"
The man's voice was filled with worry and anxiety.
Hu Xiaoman blinked her big eyes and looked at the man wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, with an anxious face and angry eyes.
At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground with his body straight.
Obviously, the man in brocade robe is the prince of Chu.
The eldest prince of the Chu State had accompanied Chu Ruo to Hu Xiaoman’s door before.
Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground and trembled, with fear on their faces, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Only the Crown Prince of Chu had enough clarity and courage to kneel down and plead for his sister.
This friendship made Hu Xiaoman feel good about it.
The Emperor of Chu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He raised his foot and kicked the Prince of Chu in the chest with anger.
"Bastard!" the Emperor of Chu roared.
"Don't you want the position of Crown Prince?"
"How dare you say such nonsense while the ancient wizard is performing a ritual!"
The King of Chu kicked extremely hard, and the Crown Prince of Chu staggered and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
But he was only stunned for a moment and then immediately got up again.
He didn't care that his knees were scraped and bleeding, and continued to beg for mercy.
"Father, as long as you release the Fifth Princess, I don't mind being the Crown Prince."
The Chu prince spoke in a firm voice, his eyes revealing a determination.
"Father, even if you want to save the lives of millions of people in Chu, if you can't even protect your own daughter, how can you protect millions of people?"
"How can a king who cruelly abandons even his own flesh and blood gain the sincere support of the people?"
"Father..."
Before the Crown Prince of Chu could finish his words, the Emperor of Chu kicked him again, this time even harder than before.
The Prince of Chu tilted his body and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The red color looked particularly glaring on his pale face.
"You bastard, if you say another word, I will pull out your tongue."
"Someone, drag him away!"
The King of Chu's eyes were wide open and he pointed at the Crown Prince of Chu, the flesh on his face shaking with anger.
Just when the guards were about to drag the Prince of Chu away, the queen, who had been sitting leisurely on the side and eating grapes non-stop, raised her hand.
Her voice was thin and very uncomfortable to listen to.
"Your Majesty, the most taboo thing for ancient wizards to do is to be interrupted."
"If the practice is interrupted, it will incur the wrath of God!"
"I'm afraid that the prince is doing this..."
Before Queen Chu finished her words, the ancient wizard who was performing a ritual in front of her suddenly trembled.
With a "wow" sound, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The blood splattered on the ground, red and blinding.
The ancient wizard covered his chest, staggered and knelt down in front of the Emperor of Chu, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the prince's wild words while I was performing the ritual have already angered the heavens."
"If the prince is not punished, this magic will hardly be effective!"
"The Chu State is in danger, I hope the emperor will make a prompt decision!"
The Emperor of Chu snorted coldly, stood up, and kicked the prince hard again.
The prince was kicked so hard that he rolled several steps away.
"Look what you've done, you bastard."
"Come here, take him away and execute him!" The Emperor of Chu roared angrily, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the prince.
The court officials who were kneeling on the ground and trembling dared not utter a word.
The entire hall was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the rapid breathing of the crowd.
At this time, an old minister with gray beard and sparse hair stood up tremblingly.
His voice was old but resonant: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the Chu State, and his fate is directly related to the Chu State."
"Our country is in dire straits right now, with powerful enemies surrounding us and natural disasters happening all the time. How can we kill the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
With this old minister taking the lead, the ministers who were loyal to the crown prince and the State of Chu all knelt down and kowtowed, leaving red marks on their foreheads. They all said to the Emperor of Chu in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The ancient wizard covered his chest, tightly holding the Hydra staff in his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the magic has been completely interrupted, and the wrath of heaven has descended."
“If the wrath of heaven is not appeased, I’m afraid it will be impossible to turn the fifth princess into Hu Xiaoman.”
"The State of Chu will be in great trouble!"
"By then, the country will be destroyed, the family will be ruined, and all the people will suffer!"
The other half of the kneeling courtiers, in order to please the emperor and the ancient wizard, shouted: "Your Majesty, please calm the wrath of heaven and execute the prince!"
The queen stuffed another handful of grapes into her mouth, and the corners of her mouth were stained with purple grape juice.
She smiled tenderly and pulled the emperor's sleeve, and said in a delicate voice that gave people goose bumps, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if there is no crown prince. We can still appoint another heir."
She looked shy and stroked her belly with both hands.
"Your Majesty, I am still pregnant with your prince."
"An ancient wizard said that this baby must be a prince, and he has great fortune. He will lead the Chu Kingdom to prosperity in the future."
Originally, there was a little hesitation in the eyes of the Emperor of Chu, but after hearing the words of the Queen, that little bit of hesitation disappeared.
He waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Come here, drag the prince away and execute him immediately!"
As soon as the Chu Emperor finished speaking, the wizard's voice sounded eerie again.
"Your Majesty, the wrath of heaven is difficult to quench. I'm afraid we have to dig out the prince's heart, set up a sacrificial formation, and kneel down to beg heaven to appease the wrath of heaven, so that we can continue to cast spells."
"Otherwise, the State of Chu will be doomed to eternal damnation!"
Everyone was shocked, and the kneeling courtiers felt a chill on their backs, as if a chill was crawling up their spines.
The Chu Emperor frowned impatiently: "Then drag him away and dig out his heart for sacrifice!"
The old minister with gray hair just now stood up tremblingly and burst into laughter.
The laughter was filled with sadness and despair.
With a crazy look on his face, he pointed at the ancient wizard and the queen and cursed: "You are spreading rumors and misleading the people, causing chaos in the State of Chu."
"The people are no longer people, the country is no longer a country, it exists in name only, the State of Chu is dead, dead!"
The old minister had a look of sorrow on his face. He turned and ran towards a pillar and bumped into it headfirst.
In an instant, blood gushed out from his forehead!
He slowly fell to the ground, his eyes still wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.
Seeing this old minister commit suicide, some loyal ministers also stood up.
Their eyes were filled with the determination to die, and they crashed into the pillar one after another, falling to the ground and dying one by one.
The blood spread on the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.
Emperor Chu snorted coldly and said with disgust: "What the hell is this?"
"Do you think that I can't live without you?"
"You have dirty my sacrificial hall."
"unlucky!"
"Come here, drag these bodies away and throw them into the mass grave!"
Soon, soldiers came forward and dragged the bodies of these loyal ministers away like sacks.
Hu Xiaoman, who was squatting on the tree, sighed!
It seems that the Chu State is really destroyed!
From now on, Chu Qingye will be a traitor to his country just like her. It’s perfect, they can be a couple!
