Chapter 74: The Princess Who Seeked Death
Translator: Paperplane
Ouyang Yaoyi felt suddenly fl.u.s.tered. Till now, she still hadn’t quite figured out why the two guards started kneeling and begging her.
She looked at the ominous aura in Han Moze’s face with fear in her heart.
But she didn’t do anything wrong! She just wanted to kill those two servants who treated her with desrespect. That’s all!!
“You want to kill these two guards?” Han Moze said with a chilling voice.
Ouyang Yaoyi looked into Han Moze’s eyes with infatuation and flushed cheeks. “Yes, your majesty. These two guards disrespected me. Naturally, I can kill them,” she said matter-of-factly.
Han Moze gritted his teeth. “Were you not aware that they only treated you that way because they were following my orders?” He said with a cold scoff.
Ouyang Yaoyi pursed her lips and replied with a sweet voice. “I don’t care. Besides, they were also in the wrong and they’re only just servants. There’s no use for them, so they may as well be killed.”
Han Moze violently gritted his teeth, as his face turned increasingly wicked. “Gag Ouyang Yaoyi and don’t let her speak again. Detain her back to the Capital. Just don’t let her starve to death,” he ordered with a chilling voice.
“Yes, your majesty!” Exclaimed the two guards, as they were secretly happy on the inside. Since the Emperor stood up for them, what did there to fear?
Third Princess, just you wait! We’re going to teach you that it isn’t so easy to bully imperial guards.
“Your majesty, I’m not wrong! Why must you treat me like this?” Wailed Ouyang Yaoyi immediately when saw that Han Moze was about to turn and leave after giving his order.
Han Moze grunted coldly, then left to join Han Moxi in the guest room for some rest.
The two guards let out a sinister chuckle, then walked over to Ouyang Yaoyi and firmly detained her.
“You… You dare?! I will definitely kill you both… mmhmm…” Ouyang Yaoyi hurriedly resisted in fear. However, the two guards now didn’t care about her threats, as the Emperor said that all they have to do is keep Ouyang Yaoyi alive. With that, they threw courtesy out the window and quickly grabbed a rag to gag Ouyang Yaoyi’s mouth.
“Ohhh… ah…” Ouyang Yaoyi’s brows furrowed and her eyes burned with fury. These two guards actually dared to pull out a rag and gag her. She wanted to curse at someone but she couldn’t speak.
The two guards chuckled. The taste of their body cloth must be great.
Whilst Ouyang Yaoyi resisted, she was detained in firewood storage shed.
Ouyang Yaoyi didn’t go along with it and tried her hardest to struggle out of it. “Grr… argh… mhmm…” she m.u.f.fled with her throat.
The slender and slightly older guard smiled. “Third Princess, we wanted to treat you well, but you can’t tell right from wrong and wanted to kill us both. That’s where you went wrong. Although we may come from lowly backgroundsp, we are brave. If other people wanted to kill us, we would definitely fight our hardest to resist, so don’t blame us. If you must place blame, then blame yourself for not knowing how to treat people,” he said.
The younger guard echoed his sentiment with a crisp voice. “That’s right. This is the first person I’ve met who’s so bossy, unruly, and malicious. I heard that you once tortured a general’s daughter and an imperial concubine to death. Tsk tsk, you sure have got some guts. Even if their backgrounds weren’t as n.o.ble as yours, you can’t kill innocent people at will. I heard the girls were only six and nine years old.”
With a coa.r.s.e voice, the older guard continued, “I’ve heard about this too. After that happened, the Emperor of Nanli still pampered her and never criticised her. Later, that general was exiled and that imperial concubine with no background died mysteriously. It really gives people the creeps just hearing about it.”
