Amor a través del tiempo

Capítulo 63

Everyone was stunned! All the concubines and eunuchs, including Empress Zhao Feier, stared wide-eyed and gaped, as if they could fit a watermelon inside their mouths!

What did she say? "This king?" When did she, a lowly concubine who had committed a crime, become a king?

The Empress had a deep and brooding expression, with a fierce glint in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour him whole. However, she dared not show it on her face in front of Lei Ran.

Consort Rong's face flushed red and then paled as she cautiously watched Lei Ran, awaiting the King's reaction.

Lei Ran's expression was solemn, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he delivered a heavy slap with his backhand. With another loud "smack!", Consort Rong's body was thrown far away like a kite with a broken string. Amidst the uproar, she fell flat on her back among the palace maids and eunuchs, causing a great deal of chaos.

Lin Feng's attack was already quite heavy, but Lei Ran's attack was even heavier! With one slap, half of Consort Rong's face swelled up, and bright red blood slowly flowed down her swollen lips. She was dizzy and only regained some consciousness due to the pain. She lay on the ground, looking at Lei Ran in disbelief.

She was, after all, a Noble Consort! Moreover, her family held considerable influence in the court, yet the Thunder Prince slapped her for the sake of a disgraced concubine!

"Guards! Consort Rong has been disrespectful to the distinguished guests of Beichen! Strip Consort Rong of her title and imprison her in the Cold Palace, never to leave again!" Lei Ran's cold command was like a thunderclap, instantly causing an uproar in the hearts of the thousands of people present! He seemed to disdain even uttering a single word of criticism against Consort Rong, turning to Lin Feng without even glancing at her, a rather friendly smile appearing on his handsome face: "Is the Dark King satisfied now?"

"Tsk tsk, King Lei, I am a peerless king of Beichen, and I have been insulted by this lowly servant. You think you can just throw me into the cold palace and call it a day? You have disappointed me too much." Lin Feng gave him a cold glare. He knew that his actions were also to test the truth of the assassination attempt, but he deliberately made things difficult for him.

The palace servants were terrified. Judging from his tone, he wasn't satisfied with just banishing Consort Rong to the Cold Palace, where she would never be able to rise again. How could he be so aggressive? How dare he say such things in front of the Thunder King? This person was far too arrogant!

To everyone's surprise, Lei Ran did not fly into a rage. He simply said "Oh," nodded, and beckoned, ordering, "Bring the guilty concubine Rong here!"

Four imperial guards immediately dragged Consort Rong before the two men. Consort Rong looked up and met Lei Ran's icy gaze. She trembled violently, crying and begging for mercy: "Your Highness Lei, I knew nothing beforehand! Please forgive me this time! I dare not do it again, I will never dare again..."

Lei Ran seemed not to hear, and just looked at Lin Feng with interest: "Leave it to the Dark King, let the Dark King do whatever he wants!"

Lin Feng was taken aback, but then his mind cleared, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Lei Ran really didn't take his concubine seriously. This Consort Rong was a noble consort, but she was still just something whose value had been fully utilized. He could throw her away whenever he wanted, and he could also eliminate her influence in the harem.

Lei Ran's move was nothing more than a warning to his concubines that he could throw them into positions of wealth and honor, or he could discard them like trash overnight. Since Consort Rong wanted to be the first to act, she ran into this bullet.

However, Lin Feng didn't care about these things. On the contrary, he was quite grateful to Lei Ran. If she hadn't established her authority and warned others when she first arrived, who knows how those women in the harem would have targeted her. It's better to prevent them from plotting and scheming than to be bullied. You have to be more ruthless and vicious than others!

Then, Lin Feng smiled, a very eerie smile that sent chills down the spines of everyone who saw it.

"I remember, wasn't it this arm that she pointed at me just now?" Lin Feng asked a guard beside him in a low voice.

"Uh...yes, Dark King." This guard had heard her terrifying description of that night, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He secretly felt a chill for Consort Rong.

"I understand. It's not a big deal; there's no need to take her life." Lin Feng nodded casually and instructed the other guards beside him, "You, find a heavy cart and use the most agile horses to pull it. Find a long rope, tie it to this Consort Rong's hand, and then tie her to a wooden stake or a sturdy pillar. Urge the horses to pull the rope and tear off her wicked hand. That's all; there's no need to pursue the matter further."

The guards felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this, and their foreheads were instantly covered in cold sweat! This woman was so ruthless! So cruel! She tore off a person's arm alive and then said "no need to pursue it any further" as if it were no big deal! If she... what kind of scene would it be if she "pursued" it?

Upon hearing this, everyone who heard it couldn't help but shudder.

Lei Ran was beside her. Although he knew a little about her bloodthirstiness, it was the first time he had heard her about carrying it out on others. Such ruthlessness made him feel uneasy. His gaze towards her became even more intense. Everyone said he was a tyrant, but he felt that she was even more tyrannical than him.

Consort Rong was stunned. She never imagined that this woman would be so relentless, grabbing her braid and threatening to rip off her entire scalp! This vicious act terrified the woman, who screamed wildly, "You can't do this to me! I'm a Noble Consort! You can't do this to me!"

"Aren't you going to drag her away? Do you want to end up like her?" Lin Feng glanced indifferently at the guards, who, wiping away cold sweat, quickly grabbed Consort Rong and ran outside the palace. Get away from this devilish woman! They didn't want to die!

Consort Rong was dragged away, crying and screaming. The other concubines felt a chill run down their spines, and even Empress Zhao Feier was terrified. Was this the same Consort Feng? Was this the gentle and charming Consort Feng? In such a short time, this woman had become so ruthless! This…this is simply…

"Return to the palace for a banquet!" Lei Ran waved his hand, took Lin Feng's hand, and the two of them slowly headed towards the Emperor's Dragon Soaring Palace in a rather strange manner. The palace staff were still in a state of panic, not yet having recovered from the bloody and ruthless hands of the Dark King of Beichen.

Sixty-four Red People in the Main Text

The lights illuminated the entire palace. Lin Feng had lost count of how many times he had witnessed such a scene. He raised the wine cup in his hand, the fragrant liquid inside swirling and reflecting a pair of dark, deep eyes.

The Imperial Palace is nothing special!

Thinking back on the past two years since she came to Yinsang, she has been hovering at the pinnacle of power, and it seems that she is doing very well, climbing higher and higher in status. She also has a deep "friendship" with the two kings of Yinsang, which makes her very proud.

The banquet was quite grand, and almost all the officials of Tiancheng, big and small, who were in the capital, were present. Everyone wore an expression of trepidation and made various speculations.

King Lei was known for his cruelty, so when did he fall in love with a life of luxury and debauchery? It's one thing for a few high-ranking officials to host a banquet after his return from a campaign, but why summon lowly officials like them to the palace? What major event has happened today? Even when Empress Zhao Feier was being crowned, things weren't this serious!

Because time was extremely tight, before they could even rest, they immediately summoned all the officials to the palace for a banquet. The events that had transpired in the inner palace hadn't even had time to spread throughout the court. For such grand banquets, Lei Ran never brought any female relatives; even the Empress was not entitled to participate.

Lin Feng and his companion had only just arrived and had just gracefully taken their seats in the head seat. Before anyone could even get a good look at her, she immediately and without any regard for her image, half-lying down and hiding behind Lei Ran, drinking alone and ignoring the sullen stares Lei Ran was giving her.

Lei Ran curled his lip, glared at her, and turned his head away, thinking to himself, "Trying to escape? But do you think you can escape?"

Lin Feng lazily glanced to the side. Lei Ran sat upright, solemn and dignified. His luxurious black python robe accentuated his mature and cold temperament. Lin Feng had to admit that if this man dressed up properly, the visual impact would be quite strong. Who wouldn't like a young and handsome emperor? With a casual glance, almost all the female beings in the surrounding area were focused on him.

With eyes like an eagle's, Lei Ran said calmly, "Today's grand banquet is to welcome the Dark King of Beichen beside me. From now on, she will be staying in Tiancheng for a long time. Let's all get to know her today."

The officials were shocked and horrified.

Such a grand feast, just to welcome one person? And not just any person, but the infamous Dark King of the enemy state of Beichen, who has ruined their plans time and again? Has Lei Wang lost his mind?

Or perhaps their Thunder King is incredibly powerful and has unusual tastes, and actually has a relationship with the Dark King of Beichen, easily abducting people from Beichen Tian to serve their Tiancheng.

"I humbly obey the decree of the Thunder King! Greetings, Dark King!"

Lei Ran truly lived up to his title of "tyrant." Although the assembled officials still had considerable doubts about the matter, none dared to disobey his command. Moreover, the officials had carefully removed the "Beichen" from "Beichen Dark King," the meaning of which was clear to everyone.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Lei Ran, who was glaring at him smugly, and snorted.

I knew that bastard had no good intentions! What kind of grand banquet was this? It was clearly a way of telling the world that he had recruited the Dark King of Beichen, trying to make Beichen Tian suspicious of her! Whether it's true or not, given Beichen Tian's consistent personality, he won't get close to her again.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, exuding an inexplicable confidence. In this world, the most abundant thing is the unexpected! Even if she accepted this congratulation, so what? She would not only accept it, but she would accept it in a way that everyone would remember clearly!

Lin Feng casually tossed aside his wine glass and slowly sat up from behind Lei Ran. His beautiful black eyes swept over Lei Ran sharply, his hair fluttering gently in the night breeze. With an innate arrogance of a superior, he said lazily in his magnetic, deep voice, "Rise, my beloved subjects!"

The officials below were stunned for a moment, then stared in disbelief, so shocked that they almost fainted on the spot!

What kind of tone is that?
