Chapter 46: Lanqi Gets Caned
Xuanye had ordered the deaths of many people before, but he had never imagined that one day a woman would commit suicide in front of him. Consort Zhao let out a low grunt as her head struck the pillar, before crumpling lifelessly onto the floor.
Xuanye could only watch helplessly, his mind a complete blank.
Hearing the commotion, Head Eunuch Li and Dongyun came running into the hall. When she saw Consort Zhao lying on the ground, blood dripping from a gash on her head, Dongyun yelped in horror and fainted immediately.
More people arrived, and Consort Zhao was quickly escorted away on a stretcher. Xuanye finally returned to his senses and ordered coldly, "Send for the Imperial Doctors. If that woman dies, I'll make sure to bury them alive with her."
