Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1966: Chapter 1963: Vengeance in Person

"It’s been ten years! No one is willing to help us. I clearly sent word to the palace back then, hoping that you as a wise Emperor would redress the injustice my family suffered!" Xiang Anwan glared at Emperor Xuanming, full of hatred. "But what did you do? You shielded that useless Zhang Zhonghai."

"Ha, well of course, you all see yourselves as those who are above, so you can wantonly manipulate those of lower status. Aren’t there many cases of injustice within the Imperial Palace as well?"

"Ha, Emperor, just another hypocrite in ceremonial robes."

King of Huainan quietly accompanied her and said nothing to stop her.

Only now did she realize that the Emperor she had always thought was loyal to wasn’t as just as he appeared on the surface. In reality, this was normal.

A fleeting moment of disappointment passed through his eyes.

Then quietly, he looked at Xiang Anwan.

"I want to see Zhang Zhonghai!" Xiang Anwan demanded, filled with malice, "And the Marquis of Ande and his son."

King of Huainan replied with a sound and glanced at Emperor Xuanming at the high seat, but this time did not seek his opinion, and directly waved his hand.

A squad was sent over to escort Zhang Zhonghai and his sons, as well as the Marquis of Ande and his son.

Zhang Zhonghai was the fastest to arrive, coming straight from today’s banquet hall.

He hadn’t yet entered the hall when he saw the scene of confrontation and was instantly filled with panic.

Especially when he saw Xiang Anwan glaring at him with hatred.

Uneasy in his heart, Zhang Zhonghai wanted to turn and flee.

But he was forcibly dragged inside by the guard beside him.

"Emperor, save your subject..." Zhang Zhonghai saw Xiang Anwan wielding a sword and trembling with fury, with the King of Huainan clearly siding with her standing nearby.

Dispensing with all face, he rushed straight towards the Dragon Throne where Emperor Xuanming was seated.

Emperor Xuanming did not utter a sound, just looked at those below with an inscrutable expression.

From the moment Xiang Anwan began to fiercely reprimand him, he hadn’t said a single word, just wore a very displeased expression. When an Emperor is angered, calmness is never possible.

Even Deng Jieyu, who was typically close to him, dared not approach Emperor Xuanming, instinctively keeping her distance.

Zhang Zhonghai didn’t have time to get closer to the steps under the Dragon Throne.

He was immediately halted by the Imperial Guard, who placed the hilt of the sword against his neck.

"Zhang Zhonghai, you never expected you’d come to this day, did you?"

Xiang Anwan ground her teeth in hatred, and suddenly, did something completely unexpected, stabbing Zhang Zhonghai directly with a sword.

"Ah..." Zhang Zhonghai screamed miserably.

He collapsed onto the ground, covered in blood, looking extremely terrifying, and cursed a foul name.

But the next moment, Zhang Zhonghai cried out sharply, glaring at Xiang Anwan, eyes full of disbelief and despair.

"Useless creature, now you’ve become less than even a eunuch, are you happy? I’ve long wanted to do this to you." Xiang Anwan let out a crazed laugh, circling him with the sword.

Watching Zhang Zhonghai emotionally unravel, grinding his teeth in bloodied fury, "Bitch, I want you dead!"

After all, Zhang Zhonghai was a man, suddenly lunging.

Xiang Anwan had no chance to dodge.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by; King of Huainan struck Zhang Zhonghai’s chest, causing him to slide down the floor, blood flowing all over the hall.

Xiang Anwan glared at him fiercely, eyes bloodshot.

Zhang Zhonghai was not far from death.

She sharply turned her gaze to the newly brought in Marquis of Ande and his son.

The Marquis of Ande saw Xiang Anwan but did not immediately recognize her; as a notorious Marquis, he had known countless women.

More so, it had been ten years since he saw Xiang Anwan as a young maiden.

However, the Crown Prince of Ande recognized her in an instant, pupils shrinking, somewhat shocked.
