Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 553: Interesting night

They were dragged over and forced to kneel before the throne, where they faced the wrath of the king. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Elder Xuan stepped forward and cleared his throat. He held a scroll in his hand, which contained the list of crimes and evidence against the accused. He unrolled the scroll and began to read in a loud and clear voice.

"Your Majesty, these are the crimes of the masters and their... goons. They have conspired with each other to overthrow the late King. They committed treasonous acts against His Majesty. They have corrupted and exploited the weak and the poor. They have committed treason, murder, robbery, and other heinous acts. They have shown no remorse or repentance for their deeds. They have proven themselves to be enemies of the state and the people. They deserve no mercy or forgiveness. They deserve only death."

Elder Xuan went through the individual crimes of each master and when he was done he rolled up the scroll. He bowed to Qie Xieling and said, "Your Majesty, these are the facts and the evidence. The verdict is yours to decide."

Qie Xieling listened silently to the elder’s words. He looked at the kneeling criminals, who trembled and whimpered under his gaze. Well, everyone else was trembling apart from Master Zi.

Qie Xieling felt no pity or compassion for them. He felt only anger and disgust, especially with Master Bi and Master Zi.

Qie Xieling glanced at Luo Muchen and leaned in before asking what sort of ending he wanted for his father.

Luo Muchen hadn’t really thought about it so he replied that he would come up with a punishment. Qie Xieling decided to start with Master Bi. His punishment for him was simple. He assigned Master Bi to a brothel to be toyed with for the rest of his life. Master Bi who rather accept a death sentence was shocked.

"This this this... your Majesty," he exclaimed as he was dragged out. He could barely walk because that bastard Luo Muchen had burnt his inner thighs with iron rods several times.

Master Bi was fully aware of why he was doing this. He recalled how he used to get his men to hold Qie Xieling down and he would burn him several times until he was satisfied. This was indeed retribution. He regretted it but he knew begging for mercy was hopeless. He never gave Qie Xieling such courtesy back then so why would he have mercy on him?

After Master Bi was taken away Qie Xieling turned to Master Zi with a menacing gaze and said, "Who is next?... Oh, Master Zi. Break his arm! Shatter his bones the same way he held down my queen! Make him suffer, make him scream, make him beg for death!"

Everyone, "..."

Luo Muchen’s ear turned hot being called queen. He didn’t mind being called queen, wife, darling or cutie as long as it was Qie Xieling calling him that. His lover was even venting his anger on his behalf.

The guards nodded and grabbed Master Zi’s arms. They twisted them behind his back and pulled them hard until they heard a loud crack. Cries of anguish bounced off the walls followed by loud curses. They broke the other arm too shattering his bones.

But Qie Xieling wasn’t done. This is only the beginning of Master Zi’s suffering. For his treasonous actions, he was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. While he was receiving his torturous death, Qie Xieling asked if Luo Muchen had decided what he was going to do with his father.

Luo Muchen didn’t want him dead. If it weren’t for this marriage assigned to him by his father he wouldn’t have been able to meet Qie Xieling. He was grateful for that but he also tried to kill Qie Xieling.

"Lock him up for the rest of his life?" said Luo Muchen in Qie Xieling’s ear and Qie Xieling gave the order.

Master Lee’s eyes widened. He shook his hand frantically and while he was being dragged why he was yelling, "No... no... no no no let me go!"

His voice died down and Qie Xieling asked the elders, "Wasn’t I fair?"

The elders all nodded their heads. It was fair. The dude did try to kill him so why was he complaining? "His Majesty is quite benevolent," said Luo Muchen and Qie Xieling’s tail wagged after being praised.

After all the punishments were handed down Qie Xieling was tired. It is said that heavy is the head that wears the crown hence his head was very heavy.

He yawned softly not because he was ill-mannered but because his muscles were aching especially on his abdomen. It was as though someone had poked his abdomen until it was sore. He didn’t complain about it because it wasn’t as painful and he could bear it but now he could feel it.

"Would you like to go and rest?" asked Luo Muchen only for the elder to kowtow while making a plea.

The pleas were about Qie Xieling’s health and well-being considering his condition after hearing that last night he had overindulged with his male queen despite being pregnant. They feared that something would happen to both the king and the heir so they had to plead with him.

"Your Majesty," one of the Elders began, his voice barely above a whisper, "We beg of you to consider your health and well-being. We beg that His Majesty separates from His Majesty the Queen for the safety of His Majesty and the future heir’s safety."

As though acquiescing with him the little ancestor in his belly moved.

Qie Xieling listened intently, his gaze unwavering as he absorbed their expressions. His deep voice suddenly resonated through the main hall as he blurted out, "Who says I was the one getting tossed around?"

Elders, "!!!!!"

Jolie, ’Aaaahhhhh!!!’

The fuck did she just hear. Luo Muchen had his head lowered looking like he was embarrassed but he was covering up the shy smile on his face. It did feel uncomfortable there but it wasn’t that bad. Besides it was like a battle injury after a victory. Also, Qie Xieling wasn’t telling the complete truth. In the first lag, he was tossed around but the second half it was him gently tossing his wife around. It was a very intriguing night, to say the least.
