Chapter 453: Conflicted Mr. Cui
Cui Yuan's tone was trembling, as if treating the brother and sister in this way was a hundred times more cruel than killing them.
Qianye Yunde did not speak, but Ye Ying got in front of him, struggled in the hands of the guards and gritted his teeth:
"Qianye Yunshui, just kill me!"
Ye Ying gritted his teeth and said while looking at Qianye Yunchao's faint smile with angry eyes.
Qianye Yunde still smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of understanding Ye Ying's words. Instead, he looked into Cui Yuan's panicked eyes and said:
"How come Mr. Cui has sympathy for this assassin who broke into my Donglin Forbidden Palace?"
He curled his lips, blinked his eyelids slightly, and said with a smile: "I just want them to have an arm, and I don't want them to die. I am showing mercy to them, isn't it, Master Cui?"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Cui Yuan was speechless for a moment by Qianye Yunche's question, and he didn't know what reason to explain his behavior.
After a long while, he could only frown and replied: "I just think they are still young, and missing an arm would be a bit cruel to them."
He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Qianye Yunshui.
At this moment, a low laugh sounded from Qianye Yunsha's mouth, with a somewhat panicky sneer.
"Master Cui, they are assassins. Haven't you heard that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself?"
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes again and said: "Push it down."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Qianye Yunche, you should just kill me! I don't need your mercy! Qianye Yunche!"
Ye Ying's hysterical voice sounded continuously in the court hall of Dali Temple, but Qianye Yunsai turned a deaf ear and raised his eyebrows calmly.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Cui Yuan's voice was trembling, and when Ye Ying was taken down, his voice trembled even more.
"Why does Mr. Cui look so ugly?"
Qianye Yunde pretended to be confused and looked at Cui Yuan's pale and panicked look, and asked.
"Please, Your Majesty, let them go?"
Cui Yuan couldn't help but knelt down in front of Qianye Yunche.
"Then Mr. Cui, tell me a reason to let them go."
Qianye Yun raised his lips and looked at the cold sweat gradually seeping out of Cui Yuan's forehead with gentle eyes, and asked.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Master Cui, I just said that if these two people are from Xidian, I might let them go for the sake of Her Majesty the Queen. However, since you don't know them, I really can't find them.
That’s why I let them both go.”
Qianye Yunchao's tone was always calm and unhurried from beginning to end, as if what he was dealing with was not a life-threatening matter.
At this time, the person struggling in the conflict is Cui Yuan.
He didn't know how much disaster it would bring to the people of Xidi if he revealed the identity of the princess and the prince in public.
But if he didn't tell the princess and the prince, it would be easier to just kill them if their arms were chopped off.
He didn't know whether Qianye Yunche intentionally or unintentionally cut off the arm with the Xijie tattoo. For them, it was a hundred times crueler than death.
In Xide, there is a legend that as members of the Xide royal family, each of them will have a tattoo on their body that represents the eternal prosperity of Xide.
