Without Xuanyuan Ying, it would be much easier for the other imperial guard to deal with Gongsun Zhang.
Although Gongsun Zhang also had some skills, firstly, he did not dare to confront the imperial guards who were carrying out Emperor Aoxing's orders. Secondly, Xuanyuan Ying had been captured, and there was no need for him to stay there any longer.
So Gongsun Zhang was also grabbed by the arm by another imperial guard and flew down.
"Take this disgraceful evil girl to Ninghe Palace and lock her up. And this bastard," Ao Xingdi pointed at Gongsun Zhang angrily, "beat him to death immediately."
Emperor Ao Xing's face turned black and his hand trembling as he pointed at Gongsun Zhang, showing that he was really angry.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Wei Chen really likes Princess Ziying, and Princess Ziying also likes Wei Chen. I beg your Majesty to grant her permission." Gongsun Zhang's face turned pale and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Father, no, you can't kill my cousin..." Xuanyuan Ying became anxious and shouted to Emperor Ao Xing with an anxious look on his face.
However, there was no room for them to plead for mercy. Two eunuchs came over, took Xuanyuan Ying and prepared to go to Ninghe Palace.
At the same time, several imperial guards entered Ninghe Palace to get sticks.
Xuanyuan Ying didn't want to be taken away. She struggled to hug Gongsun Zhang and refused to leave. While struggling, she yelled at the eunuch who pulled her away: "Let go of me, you dog slaves... watch your heads!"
Looking at the unruly Xuanyuan Ying, Emperor Ao Xing's face became increasingly ugly, and he sternly said to the two eunuchs: "Use some strength to pull them away!"
Ao Xingdi glanced at him, and two more eunuchs came up. The four of them worked together to pull Xuanyuan Ying away and towards the direction of Ninghe Palace. However, they still did not dare to use too much force, even if they were torn apart by the struggling Xuanyuan Ying.
Dare to fight back...
At this moment, Jin Ning and the palace guards who had taken sticks from the palace returned. They stepped forward, knocked Gongsun Zhang down, and started beating him.
Gongsun Zhang held his head and began to scream. While screaming, he begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life...".
"Father, you can't...Father..." Xuanyuan Ying was dragged towards Ninghe Palace, looking back at Gongsun Zhang anxiously, while constantly begging Emperor Ao Xing for mercy.
However, Emperor Ao Xing's face was as dark as water, and he was unmoved at all. He said coldly: "Hit me hard."
At this moment, a sedan stopped not far away. An old man with white hair and luxurious clothes who looked like a powerful man stumbled down from the sedan. He was then supported by two servants and stumbled towards the center of the crowd.
.
This man was none other than Gongsun Yue’s father and Gongsun Zhang’s grandfather—Gongsun Li, the Duke of Yue.
When Duke Yue Guo saw the scene, his face turned pale and he couldn't help but lean back, as if he was about to faint.
"My lord, my lord..." Two servants quickly supported him and shouted anxiously.
After taking several deep breaths, the Duke of Yue regained his composure. Then he pushed away the two servants, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Emperor Ao Xing: "Old minister, I bow to the Emperor."
The servant who followed him quickly knelt down behind him and lay on the ground fearfully.
Emperor Ao Xing looked in the direction of Duke Yue, snorted coldly, and did not respond.
"I failed to teach my grandson well, which caused him to get into such a big disaster. I beg your majesty to forgive me. I hope your majesty will forgive him for his youth and ignorance." The Duke of Yue fell to the ground, trembling.
