All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: No One Can Take Her Kingdom Away (31)

”Your Majesty, this maid is far too bold.”

After speaking, he did not forget Hee Qingshan: ”King Ning Shan, can’t you control the maid under your command? After all, I am the State Preceptor, protected by Your Majesty. If she were dealing with an ordinary person, wouldn’t she have succeeded already?”

Ling Shishi’s eyes widened, filled with hatred, looking at Xun Zihuai as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.

How could there be such a shameless man in the world? Everyone was deceived by his appearance!

Hee Qingshan was the first to speak: ”State Preceptor, is there perhaps some misunderstanding here?”

Ling Shishi flirting with Xun Zihuai, he absolutely did not believe it.

”No misunderstanding, what I say is the truth. She tried to pull on my sleeve earlier, and others can vouch for it.”

Qiann Yan spoke out: ”Did you all see this maid trying to pull the State Preceptor’s sleeve?”

The palace attendants looked at each other, considering Qiann Yan’s words, and indeed Ling Shishi had been overly aggressive earlier and had made a move to approach Lord State Preceptor.

Considering this, the palace attendants answered in unison: ”Your Majesty, this maid did indeed speak disrespectfully and impulsively tried to grab Lord State Preceptor’s sleeve.”

”Oh, so eager; it seems she’s truly coveting the State Preceptor’s beauty.” Qiann Yan evaluated, sweeping her eyes briefly across Hee Qingshan’s face, ”Qingshan, you brought this maid here, and so many people witnessed her actions; you should punish her.”

”Great King.” Ling Shishi cried out, utterly unfortunate.

She had no idea Xun Zihuai was so troublesome; she shouldn’t have tempted fate.

Hopefully, the Great King would spare her, considering their past relations.

Since Yun Qianyan entrusted the matter to the Great King’s discretion, evidently prioritizing his authority, he could completely let her go.

Though Hee Qingshan knew Ling Shishi was wrongly accused, he had to punish her, as it concerned his future authority as emperor. If he couldn’t manage his own people, how could he govern the realm?

Most of the palace attendants present today were likely bribed by this pretty-faced guy.

He became convinced women were unfit to be emperors, as it was clearly off, yet she still didn’t see it. This pretty-faced State Preceptor was a scourge, necessary to be eliminated soon.

He suspected Yun Qianyan’s delay in abdication was due to this pretty-faced scoundrel.

The problem clearly lied here; it seems to reclaim the throne, he must first get rid of this nefarious pretty face.

At that moment, Xun Zihuai sensed a hint of murderous intent, glancing briefly at Hee Qingshan, yet couldn’t discern anything from his expression.

Qiann Yan was even more sensitive to the killing intent; was Hee Qingshan hastily digging his own grave?

”Ling Shishi offended the State Preceptor, unforgivable, but in consideration of her years of devoted service, drag her away and administer fifty lashes.”

Ling Shishi’s face turned ashen; fifty lashes would cost her half her life, if not more; perhaps she wouldn’t even withstand fifty lashes.

Hee Qingshan, this man was truly ruthless.

”Great King, spare my life.”

”Your Majesty, spare my life.”

”Lord State Preceptor, this slave dares not do it again.”

Ling Shishi was dragged away, and shortly her screams echoed. As the sound gradually faded, Hee Qingshan’s frown deepened. In truth, his heart ached somewhat, but today he had no other choice.

”I have a pill here that can save her life.” Xun Zihuai pulled out a pill and handed it to a palace attendant, ”Give it to her, I don’t want a death over such a matter, moreover, the maid has served King Ning Shan for years; she may have not accomplished much, but she has worked hard.”

Though Hee Qingshan hated Xun Zihuai deeply, he felt relieved inside; the only one to talk to him during quiet nights was Ling Shishi.

Qiann Yan glanced at Xun Zihuai, such kindness?

Xun Zihuai: Sometimes, he is very kind.

Such generosity from a great man!
