Chapter 894: Chapter 793: Recognizing Reality

The remark nearly made Nanny Guan laugh, though more anger surged within her.

Did she really take herself as a precious princess? Wanting to have her beaten to death, what a joke. She was dispatched from the palace, in name a maidservant, yet also represented someone close to the Empress.

If connections were to be compared, she might not even be any lesser.

This person was the Empress’s own grandson.

Huangfu Yuxuan frowned, speaking coldly, "Stop this nonsense! Quickly gather yourself and prepare to depart!"

"Who’s making a fuss with you?" Huangfu Yin’s face sank, her lips moved lightly, showing a hint of a smile, but her words were poisonously vicious: "Do you want me dead, or this wretched maid? You decide! I’ll count to three, if you don’t act, I will! One!"

Nanny Guan’s heart was filled with hatred; she was actually using her life to try to exchange for hers? The Princely Heir would never agree with her, certainly wouldn’t!

Huangfu Yuxuan looked at her coldly.

Huangfu Yin remained unmoved, holding the hairpin steadily with such force that the knuckles of her fingers appeared pale.

"Two!"

The voice rang out, neither fast nor slow.

Huangfu Yuxuan’s gaze grew colder, looking at Huangfu Yin with a mixture of coldness and murderous intent. However, Huangfu Yin’s face no longer showed fear or flattery, just a calm, deathly stillness.

"Three!"

With the count reaching here, Huangfu Yin’s hand tightened, ready to thrust downward when Huangfu Yuxuan’s voice rang out, "Someone drag her out and beat her to death!"

Huangfu Yin withdrew her hand, a smile fleeting across her lips. With a cold gaze, she loftily looked down at Nanny Guan.

Nanny Guan, who earlier held onto some hope, upon hearing Huangfu Yuxuan’s words, had no time for shock; she was scared to kneel abruptly, pleading continuously, "Princely Heir, spare me! Princely Heir, spare me, I’m innocent, not deserving of death!"

At this moment, she suddenly realized that if Huangfu Yin threatened with death, the Princely Heir might not necessarily protect her.

Though there was talk of closeness and distance, in the Princely Heir’s eyes, she was ultimately just a maidservant.

Huangfu Yuxuan ignored her.

Seeing no avenue through Huangfu Yuxuan, Nanny Guan quickly knelt before Huangfu Yin, pleading, "Princess spare me! Princess, I was wrong, I have offended many times before, please, you won’t hold it against a lesser person, spare me!"

In the face of life and death, what does disgust in the heart matter?

In the face of life and death, what do dignity and self-respect even count as?

She forgot that though she came from the Empress’s palace, she was in the end, still a maidservant.

Huangfu Yin laughed, her hand remained on her throat, yet her tone was light and carefree, "This princess is no great person, just a young lady, a young lady who holds grudges! Treating this princess as you have along the way, if this princess could still spare your life then it wouldn’t be in this princess’s nature!"

Nanny Guan’s face turned pale, a flash of despair in her eyes.

Huangfu Yuxuan impatiently waved his hand, and immediately someone came forward to drag Nanny Guan away.

Nanny Guan screamed miserably, "Princely Heir, spare me, Princely Heir, spare me, spare me..."

The shrill screams grew distant.

Though this was a post station and not Prince Liang Mansion, Huangfu Yuxuan still found no difficulty in having a maidservant beaten to death here.

People were dragged outside; after a short while, the sound of paddles beating rang out, and as the first stroke landed, Nanny Guan’s miserable scream was heard, to which Huangfu Yuxuan coldly responded, "Stop the noise!"

It’s inevitable to scream when struck, yet his men quickly grasped his intent, and outside, nothing but silence ensued, a silence that instilled greater fear.
