Chapter 140 Sent to the Ministry of Punishment
The left prime minister Yan Qingping's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. This guy really knows how to seek death.
"I don't want to see her again. Drag her away and beat her severely."
Di Ran's face was gloomy. He glanced at Ji Yan with a cold face and his tone was cold and impatient.
Hearing this, two female guards stepped forward and captured Ji Yan.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Be careful or I'll tell my aunt about you!"
"Asshole! Let me go!"
Ji Yan panicked when she was caught and tried to break free but was held tightly by the female guard.
Ji Yan was so angry that her face was twisted and ferocious. She stared at Ji Yunxie and shouted, "Ji Yunxie, just watch them catch me! Let them go!"
However, Ji Yunxie did not move, which made Ji Yan so angry that she started cursing!
"Ji Yunxie, you little bitch, you actually watched me fail to catch anything and did nothing!"
"Damn little bitch!"
"You think you are worthy of being a king? Ugh!"
"You harmed my father and my brother, you vicious person!"
"Little bitch! Little bastard!"
Di Ran's face was gloomy, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "Shut her mouth and send her to the Ministry of Punishment."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Yan Qingping, Mo Yan and others changed.
There was sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yan.
Wouldn't it be better to just stay put?
Do you really want to die?
What is the Ministry of Punishment?
The most peculiar prison institution in the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, its cruelty was even more extreme than that of the Dali Temple Prison.
Once you get in there, you'll be skinned alive before you can get out!
Ji Yan had obviously heard of this place. When she heard that she was going to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, her face turned pale instantly and she shook her head in fear.
"No!"
"I don't want to go there!"
"I don't want to go there!"
"Drag it!"
Di Ran didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he ordered people to take the annoying person away.
The female guard obeyed the order, stuffed a rag into Ji Yan's mouth, and dragged the struggling Ji Yan away.
The onlookers stepped aside.
Yan Qingping shifted his gaze from Ji Yan back to Di Ran, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, and said slowly, "Your Highness, are you not afraid that the King of Zhan will come back to settle accounts with you for this?"
Ji Yunxie frowned upon hearing that, then looked up sideways, his dark eyes looking at Di Ran with worry in them.
Di Ran held Ji Yunxie's hand and glanced at him with a slightly cold look.
"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If he does something wrong, he should bear the consequences."
"That's what I said, but..."
Yan Qingping narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid King Zhan won't let it go."
Indeed, the last bride-kidnapping incident had made King Zhan very angry, and he was demoted to be the magistrate of a small county.
Now she has sent her daughter to the Ministry of Punishment. If King Zhan knew about this, he would probably hate her to death.
Di Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could not deny Yan Qingping's words.
Ji Yunxie bit her teeth lightly, looked at Di Ran with a pair of apologetic eyes, and said with a depressed expression.
"She came here for me. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
Di Ran stroked his soft hair and said gently, "There's no need to say sorry between you and me. You are my person, and I should protect you."
Being protected by Di Ran like this, Ji Yunxie felt warm in his heart and his eyes were a little moist.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Yan Qingping felt a little envious.
"Sir~"
A guard came running over in a hurry.
Yan Qingping frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
The guard took a breath and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the Third Prince is here to visit."
Yan Qingping was slightly stunned.
Seeing this, Di Ran said calmly: "If you have something to do, leave."
Yan Qingping raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the guard. "In that case, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
"Ah."
Yan Qingping said goodbye to Di Ran, then turned and left with the guards.
Looking at Yan Qingping's departing back, Di Ran lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Ji Yunxie.
"Let's go."
"Ah."
