Chapter 898 - Counterattack!Chapter 898: Counterattack!
It was the first time Tuan Zi ever saw Hong Yao in this state. The former was used to seeing the latter’s proud and willful side. When Hong Yao’s tears continued to pour down nonstop, Tuan Zi flapped its wings in irritation and looked at Chu Liuyue for help.
Sighing inwardly, Chu Liuyue wiped Hong Yao’s tears away and said, “Alright, alright. Stop crying; I won’t kill him.”
“You don’t know about this, do you? Although that green sparrow is Mu Qinghe’s contracted fiend, it was under the Crown Princess’s care most of the time… I heard that she dotes on it as much as her own fiend! If Mu Qinghe dies, that green sparrow will surely die too.”
“I see… Still, this is… Her contracted fiend is now a legendary fiend, so why does she have to care about that green sparrow?”
“We won’t know what’s on her mind… Then again, Mu Qinghe is really lucky! His life is spared because of his fiend!”
Most people were rather shocked by Chu Liuyue’s decision, but they had no right to say anything since it was her own affair, and it was up to her to deal with Mu Qinghe however she wanted.

Chu Liuyue looked at Mu Qinghe. “With immediate effect, Mu Qinghe will be stripped of his post as Black Guard lieutenant and grounded at the Mu Residence! Nobody is allowed to visit him without my permission!”
Mu Qinghe, on the other hand, was shocked. He thought he would surely receive what he was waiting for, but in the end… A hint of struggle surfaced from the depths of his eyes as he said, “Your Highness—”
“Take him away!” ordered Chu Liuyue.
The burly Black Guard standing next to her stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qinghe immediately. Nobody noticed his existence earlier, and it was only when he came forward that everyone realized with a start how powerful his aura was.
Mu Qinghe knitted his eyebrows together and looked back to see a familiar face in front of him.
This very face belonged to none other than Lei Laosi. Somehow, he had managed to sneak and blend himself in with the Black Guards without anyone discovering him.
“Thank you, Si Jing,” said Chu Liuyue.
Si Jing smiled. “You can rest assured that I do my duties well, Your Highness!”
…
Completely restrained and unable to say a word, Mu Qinghe was escorted back to his mansion by Si Jing.
Hong Yao—who was nestled in Chu Liuyue’s shoulder—glanced at Mu Qinghe reluctantly and retracted its gaze quickly.
When Mu Qinghe was passing by Jiang Yucheng, the latter looked up and cast the former a meaningful glance. The former’s heart thumped hard as a hint of worry surfaced in his eyes.
“Father,” said Chu Liuyue all of a sudden. “Shangguan Wan plotted for power and tried to usurp the throne. An insidious and ruthless woman like her should be sentenced to death! What do you think about this?”
Although Shangguan Wan had committed a lot of crimes, Chu Liuyue thought it was better to seek her father’s opinion regarding the former’s punishment.

Shangguan You frowned and regarded Shangguan Wan with a heavy look.
An intense feeling of unease surged within Shangguan Wan, for she didn’t want to die. She begged for mercy repeatedly. “Father, I only committed those mistakes during a moment of folly! I was instigated by someone! Please forgive me this time, Father!”
Shangguan You shook his head. “Dying a hundred times isn’t even enough to pay for the crimes you committed in the past two years! The Tianling royalty doesn’t have a descendant like you!”
Shangguan Wan’s heart sank fast.
“From today onward, you’re no longer worthy of being a member of the Shangguan family, and you won’t be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum when you die! Your birth mother was an orphan with a humble origin, so her family won’t be implicated. However, the servants working in Huayang Palace and Qingfeng Palace will have to be executed as well! I’ll take it as I never had you as a daughter!”
“No! You can’t do that, Father!” She moved forward on her knees but was stopped by Elder Chen Ke with a wave of his sleeve.
“Impudent!”
Shangguan Wan’s body flew backward, and she landed on the ground with a crash. She was already injured in the first place, so this blow worsened her condition. She coughed up blood several times in a row.
Shangguan Wan slowly lifted her head and stared at Chu Liuyue as she said, “You own too many things.”
Chu Liuyue had a vague feeling that something was off about Shangguan Wan’s behavior, but she sensed the latter’s aura intensifying as soon as the thought appeared in her mind.
A black blade suddenly cut through the air and headed straight for her.
