Chapter 181 She lost him forever
"Spare us? Have you spared the people of Fengshadu? Have you spared the fifty thousand heroic souls?"
Emperor Changlong's gaze was icy; he hated Grand Tutor Su for harming his people.
"Guards, take the criminal Su Zheng away! Execute him immediately!"
The guards stepped forward and restrained Su Taifu.
Su Taifu brushed aside the loose hair covering his face, revealing his ferocious expression and sinister smile.
He stared at Emperor Changlong and laughed, "If I had known this would happen, I should have taught you to be a useless ruler! I taught you to be a benevolent ruler, but in the end you took my life!"
"Take him away!" Emperor Changlong didn't want to say a word to Grand Tutor Su.
Su Taifu taught him to be a benevolent ruler.
However, Su Taifu himself did things that were worse than those of pigs and dogs behind the backs of the world.
He hated Grand Tutor Su, and he hated himself even more for the trust he had once placed in Grand Tutor Su.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty!"
At this moment, an anxious voice came from outside the hall, and as the voice faded, Consort Xian stepped in.
She knelt down with a thud and cried out, "Your Majesty, I beg you to spare my father. In consideration of the fact that he taught you with such care, please spare his life."
Her forehead slammed hard against the ground with a dull thud, and when she raised her head again, blood was streaming down her forehead.
But she didn't even flinch.
“Consort Xian, an assassin came to the palace before, and it was Princess Ning’an who saved my life. If it weren’t for Princess Ning’an, I would have been the one who died that day.”
Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Xian with disappointment on her face. "You were also involved in that assassination attempt. You colluded with me to take my life. Now tell me, will you forgive him?"
Consort Xian opened her mouth, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It turned out that Emperor Changlong already knew.
"Your Majesty, that was my idea. I will bear all the consequences. I am willing to die in place of my father."
Upon hearing Consort Xian's admission, Emperor Changlong's long-dormant heart stirred slightly.
"Consort Xian, do you know why I had people stop you today and didn't kill you?"
"Your Majesty is a man of deep feelings, and he cherishes old friendships."
With tears blurring her vision, Consort Xian looked at Emperor Changlong with a pitiful expression.
She wanted to gain sympathy.
Emperor Changlong's face was cold. "You and I grew up together since childhood. I still remember when I was seriously ill, you held ice in your hands and froze your hands until they were red and swollen. Then you used your hands to cool me down. Later, your hands were frostbitten and you could no longer play the zither. At that time, I swore that no matter how big a mistake you made in this life, I would forgive you once."
"Consort Xian, I have kept my promise. What about you?" Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Xian, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
Upon hearing this, Consort Xian burst into tears.
She always thought that Emperor Changlong had forgotten all the little things between them.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Changlong remembered this and secretly forgave her.
Along the way, the two of them have forgotten their original intentions.
She had promised Emperor Changlong that she would dedicate her life to him and put him first in everything.
She would never betray him, and even if the whole world betrayed him, she would always stand by his side.
Later, she entered the palace.
There are so many women in the palace! She's constantly jealous and worried that Emperor Changlong's heart isn't with her.
Therefore, she used every trick in the book to keep Emperor Changlong by her side.
This has nothing to do with love.
It's only about winning or losing.
At first, Emperor Changlong did care about her a lot. Whenever she threw a little tantrum, he would immediately put down what he was doing and stay by her side.
Later, as she became more and more temperamental, Emperor Changlong grew increasingly indifferent to her.
She thought she had lost Emperor Changlong's love, but she seemed to have forgotten that when she first started using tricks, it wasn't to gain Emperor Changlong's love.
She herself lost that pure feeling she once had.
Seeing the appearance of Consort Xian, Emperor Changlong knew that she had already understood everything.
He continued, "Consort Xian, what Su Zheng did has nothing to do with you. You are still Consort Xian. Go back."
"Your Majesty, kill me! I'm willing to take the punishment in my father's place!" Consort Xian pleaded.
That's her father, how could she just sit idly by?
When Emperor Changlong saw Consort Xian's behavior, a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Consort Xian, everyone must pay the price for their mistakes, and no price can be paid by someone else!"
No matter who pleads for him today, it will be useless; Grand Tutor Su must die.
"Your Majesty, in consideration of my unwavering loyalty and devotion to you, please spare my father's life. I am willing to give my life for his!"
After Consort Xian finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and bumped into a pillar beside her.
