1108 Dying
In the next few days, Xue Fanxin was treating people and doing her own thing outside the Purple Cloud Tower. Apart from the patients, she did not care about anything else, nor was she interested.
In the past few days, quite a few things have happened in the Imperial City. There had been huge changes inside and outside the palace. People were executed every day.
The Empress and the Second Prince had already been imprisoned. The Empress suffered extreme torture and even death was an extravagant hope now.
The Emperor did not come to see the Empress. He only gave an order for the people in the prison to entertain the Empress well. All the torture methods were used, but he did not want her to die.
“Ah… Kill me, kill me.” The Empress was being tortured again. The pain of being unable to die yet not able to live really made her feel despair. She kept begging for death, but she could not die. She really wanted to die.
“Your Majesty, the Emperor said that you have to live, so we can’t kill you.” The torturer ruthlessly used a whip stained with salt water to whip the Empress. The more he whipped, the more energetic he became. However, he had to stop from time to time, or he would easily kill her.
“I want to see the Emperor, I want to see the Emperor…”
“The Emperor is currently busy dealing with the four great families and doesn’t have time to see you. However, the Emperor has instructed us to entertain the Empress well.”
“No… Kill me.”
No matter how the Empress called out, it was useless. Even the felons in the prison did not have any sympathy for the Empress.
As for the Emperor, he was indeed busy dealing with the four great families, so he did not have the mood or energy to care about the Empress now.
The four great families had thousands of years of foundation. They could not be eliminated just because he wanted them to be. Furthermore, he was attacking four families at once. This was really not an easy task.
However, if he did not take this opportunity to get rid of the four great families, the authority of the royal family would sooner or later be suppressed by them. Now that the four great families had lost their reputation because they had helped the Empress do evil, the commoners in the Imperial City were filled with resentment towards them. This was the best time to get rid of them. Once he missed this opportunity, it would be even more difficult to get rid of the four great families in the future.
Hence, no matter what, no matter what the price was, he had to get rid of the four great families. Even if he could not get rid of them, he had to ruthlessly weaken their strength and make them no longer have the ability to resist the royal family.
Because the Emperor wanted to attack the four great families, the four great families were currently in deep trouble. There were internal and external troubles everywhere. Every family was thinking about how to survive this calamity.
In the Xue family’s meeting hall, a group of higher-ups were discussing countermeasures, but they were not discussing how to rely on their own strength to tide through the difficulties, but to target Xue Fanxin.
“Xue Fanxin is also a member of the Xue family. It’s only right and proper for her to help the Xue family. As long as she says the word, the Xue family’s crisis can be resolved. Therefore, the key to letting the Xue family survive this calamity is Xue Fanxin.”
“It’s not that simple. Xue Fanxin has had nothing to do with the Xue family from the moment she was born. Her grandfather had already been driven out of the Xue family forty years ago. Even back in the Heavenly Saint Empire, the Xue family branch had banned the two of them, so Xue Fanxin now has no feelings for the Xue family. Wanting her to help the Xue family is probably not an easy task.”
“I heard that Xue Fanxin had a good relationship with Xue Hanxi from the collateral branch when she was in the Heavenly Saint Empire. Why don’t you call him over to speak to Xue Fanxin? I heard some rumors that the Bai family and the Lian family have invited the few people from the collateral branch who are on good terms with Xue Fanxin. This is also their goal. The Yi family is the most difficult to deal with now, because Yi Qingshan is dead and Yi Fenyun is crippled. The Martial Monarch Realm expert who wanted to kill Xue Fanxin previously was Yi Fentian, so this Yi family probably won’t be able to survive this calamity.”
“Then call Xue Hanxi over. Call Xue Lianfeng over too. Let the father and son talk to Xue Fanxin.”
They hoped that Xue Fanxin could remember her bloodline. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the Xue family to survive.
