Chapter 362 The Majesty of the Empress

Rong Yu's face was completely pale, and sweat soaked the hair on his forehead and temples.

He held Nan Xi's hand and trembled uncontrollably. His palm was sweaty, and his snow-white middle clothes were covered with blood. His entire back was pierced by bloodstains. From a distance, one could smell the bloody smell in the air.

Nan Xi bit her lips tightly, and wanted to get up and tell the high priest countless times that she would not be the queen, but Rong Yu stopped her every time. His eyes, which were full of deep emotions, had been locked on her beautiful face. He could clearly see the heartache and worry in her eyes, feel her nervousness and anxiety, and see her extreme worry and heartache gradually turn into anger and anxiety.

But he just comforted her again and again, as if his pain did not exist at all: "Xi'er, it's okay, I'm okay... It doesn't hurt, really, don't cry, Xi'er, don't cry..."

It turned out that she was in tears before she knew it.

Nan Xi felt dizzy. Through her tearful eyes, the bloody scene in front of her stimulated her nerves. Familiar scenes flashed through her mind like lightning. She was stunned and closed her eyes unconsciously. Crystal tears slid from the corners of her eyes as she moved.

The sharp and sharp sounds that cut through the air were still echoing rhythmically in her ears. The golden whip fell on her back with fierce force. Nan Xi seemed to see the young man surrounded by the imperial guards in the golden palace in the dizziness.

He was so lonely, like a lone wolf forced into a desperate situation. He exuded a ferocious and dangerous aura all over his body, but he was so distressing, as if his heart was clenched, and he was almost suffocated.

"Rong Huaijin deserves death! His hands are stained with blood. He is a cold-blooded demon!"

"Rong Huaijin is arrogant and arrogant. He takes advantage of your majesty's favor to abuse his power and domineeringly eliminate dissidents. He is bloodthirsty. Today, your majesty asks you to give me an explanation!"

"Rong Huaijin is the sinner of Dongling. His blood must be used as a sacrifice to the world!"

The hall was filled with the shouting of powerful ministers. They angrily demanded his execution. All parties and factions, regardless of whether they had hatred or resentment, stood on the same front. They had never had a tacit understanding and cooperated closely.

The woman stood alone on the high Danbi in a noble and gorgeous dress. The bright yellow robe dragged to the ground and spread on the steps of the hall, reflecting the dazzling and noble brilliance.

The ground under the steps of the hall was covered with blood. The tall body knelt on the hall, as stiff as a stone sculpture.

As if abandoned by the whole world, she felt lonely and endured the overwhelming siege, accusations, abuses, and ruthless murderous aura coming from all directions alone...

The dense pain spread to her limbs and bones, dull pain, sharp pain, and pain seemed to be everywhere. Nan Xi suddenly opened her eyes. The corners of her eyes were still sparkling, but she could not hide her trance.

The sharp voice cut through the air for the countless times, making a sharp and cruel sound. Nan Xi raised her head and said coldly and calmly: "Stop."

Almost at the same time, the golden whip in the high priest's hand stopped.

Jun Ya's peaceful eyes met Nan Xi's cold eyes. Their eyes met briefly, and they were both silent, but in a moment, they seemed to have said thousands of words.

Rong Yu's tall body was shaky, but he relied on a strong self-control to hold himself from falling. There was almost no white on his back, and it was stained with blood. Under the thin clothes, the skin had been cut by the golden whip, leaving horrible wounds.

Such a tragic scene made the powerful officials and court officials watching below feel numb, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

The blood in his body seemed to be coagulated and he was silent.

The high priest was really cruel, and they had all seen the power of the golden whip.

What was even more speechless was that this powerful regent was so strong in his forbearance and self-control that it made people shiver.

He was a terrible person.

If it were someone else today, he would have screamed or even fainted from the pain, but he didn't make a sound from beginning to end, and didn't even move his body. What kind of strong endurance was this?

The surroundings were silent, as if even the wind had stopped.

"That's it." Nan Xi's voice was light and her tone was particularly calm, "The blessing ceremony is over, and the sacrifice ends here."

After saying that, she took out the soft silk from her sleeves and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead. She glanced at his pale face and was silent for a moment: "I'll ask them to call a doctor."

Rong Yu shook his head slowly, his voice dry and hoarse: "No. Don't delay the auspicious time."

Nan Xi frowned, her eyes fell on him, her pupils shrank slightly, and she felt a sharp tearing pain in her heart.

However, she said nothing, and suppressed her overwhelming emotions. She helped him stand up from the ground, and her voice became calmer and calmer, almost cold: "Change the clothes for the Regent."

The waiter stepped forward and was about to put on the Regent's robe, but heard the cold voice of the high priest: "Originally, it should have been 7749 lashes, but because your majesty suddenly stopped, there is still fifteen owed-"

"High priest." Nan Xi interrupted him calmly, and her voice was not loud, so that only the priests in front of the altar could hear, "What happened back then was not his fault alone. If it really comes down to it, Empress Jinghua is the real culprit."

She no longer concealed and said it directly.

Although her memory has not been fully restored, she seemed to have found the graceful majesty of Empress Jinghua as the emperor, and felt the dilemma she faced when she was faced with the choice between her beloved and the country.

However, the hesitation that Empress Jinghua had had in the past no longer exists.

She knew clearly what was most important in her heart and what she had to protect in this life.

The throne was dispensable, the country could be abandoned at any time, and the people could be taken care of or not.

There was only one Rong Yu, who was irreplaceable.

"Your purpose of helping him was to return a prosperous and peaceful era to Dongling. For this love, Rong Yu and I are willing to give in, take on this responsibility, and complete the regrets we once left behind." Nan Xi looked at him calmly, "But if the high priest feels that he must accept such a cruel punishment to atone for his past sins, then I don't mind telling you that the people of the world have nothing to do with me, and the Dongling country has nothing to do with me. All I want is Rong Yu. If he can't be safe, I absolutely don't mind letting Dongling collapse and change dynasties."
