Chapter 2187 The stepping stone she went on strike 13
I saw a group of guards wearing armor and holding long swords walking slowly towards the group of noble ladies with neat and heavy steps.
Each of these guards was tall and mighty, with stern and serious faces, and exuded a chilling aura.
When those noble ladies saw who was coming, several of the timid ones were frightened so much that their faces turned pale, their legs went limp, and they collapsed to the ground and fainted.
However, the guards turned a blind eye to what was happening before their eyes. They walked to the fainted ladies with expressionless faces, picked them up effortlessly like chickens, and then ruthlessly pulled them aside to prepare for punishment.
Su Niannian was also among this group of noble ladies at this time. Her heart instantly rose to her throat and fear surged into her heart like a tide.
Seeing that the guards were about to carry out the execution, she couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart, and focused all her resentment on Yun Qian.
At this moment, the board was raised high and fell heavily on the noble ladies with a sharp sound of wind.
All that could be heard was the crisp sound of whipping, followed by the ladies' shrill screams that echoed in the air.
The boards kept falling, one after another, as if they would never stop.
Before the beatings were over, the families of those noble ladies had already received the news.
When they heard that their daughter had offended the current emperor, the faces of those ministers turned pale in an instant.
They kept cursing their daughter in their hearts for being so stupid and how could she make such a big mistake!
On the other hand, he was extremely anxious, fearing that his daughter had been beaten to death.
In desperation, although their hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, these ministers still gritted their teeth and hurried to Yun Qian, kneeling down and begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please have mercy! My daughter did not mean to offend you. Please spare her this time!" A court official kowtowed repeatedly, and soon a redness and swelling appeared on his forehead.
Another court official also hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty, my daughter was really bewitched and did such a foolish thing. She really did not mean to offend your majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" As he said this, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Another courtier burst into tears and begged: "Your Majesty, please spare my daughter. If anything happens to her, I will die!"
Facing the court officials who were kneeling in a row and kowtowing for mercy, Yun Qian sat upright on the high seat with an icy smile on his face and a hint of chillness in his eyes.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, "Oh? Since you all say they didn't do it on purpose, then fine, I will order them to be released and I will personally go to them to pay my respects and apologize to them, how about that?"
Several court officials turned even paler, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive us! We dare not!"
"I see there is nothing you dare not do. Okay, since you can't stand seeing your daughter being beaten, I will help you divert your attention." Yun Qian raised a smile, "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Come on, drag all these guys away and let them accompany their daughter to be beaten."
The courtiers, "......"
Tonic!!!
I don’t know how much time had passed, but I saw a few court officials limping and staggering back.
Immediately afterwards, envoys sent by various countries came to pay homage to the emperor. The scene was solemn and serious, and soon officially began.
Then, the grand banquet began.
At the banquet, the sounds of stringed instruments were melodious and the singing and dancing were beautiful.
When the song and dance performance was halfway through, one of the envoys suddenly stood up. He first respectfully saluted Yun Qian who was sitting on the high seat above, and then asked bluntly: "Your Majesty, I heard that a mythical beast has descended into the world in your country. It is really amazing! I just wonder if we are lucky enough to see the legendary beast with our own eyes today?"
The moment the envoy finished speaking, the entire banquet scene seemed to be cast under a spell. Everyone held their breath, and the originally noisy environment suddenly became silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the high and mighty Queen Yun Qian, wanting to hear how she would respond to the envoy's request.
At this moment, Yun Qian was leaning back slightly on the chair in an extremely lazy posture. On her beautiful face, there was a faint smile, as if she was smiling but not smiling. She just stared quietly at the envoy below.
After a while, she slowly said, "Since you've already said it's a divine beast, how can it be seen by ordinary people? Do you think you're special in some way?"
After hearing Yun Qian's words, the envoy who had just asked the question suddenly became extremely stiff.
However, he obviously had no intention of giving up.
After leaving the room for a while, the envoy spoke again, "Your Majesty, you are making excuses like this. Could it be that you simply cannot produce the so-called divine beast? So, the news circulating outside about the appearance of the divine beast is actually a false rumor?"
Facing the envoy's aggressive questioning, Yun Qian acted unconcerned. He just waved his hand casually and replied nonchalantly: "Oh? If you say so, then so be it."
