Chapter 33 Secret Letter Disturbance 2
Chuyue felt a surge of nausea, bent down and retched for a long time.She raised her head, and everyone had retreated at some point, leaving only her and Xue Yao.

Xue Yao approached step by step, his figure was eerie and terrifying, just like Yama.Chuyue staggered back step by step, there was no way out.She sat slumped in the corner, tears streaming down her face: "Are you really going to do something to me?"

A tear fell on his hand, Xue Yao seemed to be scalded, and suddenly withdrew his hand.

Suddenly there was a burst of fighting sound behind him, Xue Yao turned around, the dungeon door was knocked open, a bright light broke through the darkness, and there were many figures loitering at the door.The leader rushed over, his eyes burning with rage: "Xue Yao, I'm going to kill you!"

Xingchen rushed in, and was about to attack Xue Yao, when he saw Chuyue huddled in a corner, he didn't care about anything else, and retreated to Chuyue's side.Seeing that Chuyue was in a mess and her face was covered with tears, he was heartbroken and wrapped her tightly in his arms, and asked eagerly, "Sister Huang, how are you? Are you injured?"

Chuyue choked up crying and shook her head, Xingchen felt relieved.He turned his head to look at Xue Yao, and the gentle and loving expression just now changed to fierce determination: "Xue Yao, how dare you treat her like this, this king wants to kill your nine clans!"

Xue Yao put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and was about to draw it, when he suddenly heard a long cry from outside the door: "The emperor's oral order——"

The sound of fighting outside stopped suddenly.Eunuch Gao walked in slowly and said doubtfully, "I have seen King Shun, Princess, and General Xue. This is..."

Right now we can only take one step at a time.Xue Yao let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword, and stepped forward to salute: "Eunuch is here to deliver the emperor's oral order?"

"Exactly. The emperor received a family letter from the princess. Seeing that the princess complained about many family matters in the letter, he sent a servant to comfort the princess. The emperor said that since the princess has married into the Xue family, she should treat the general as a guest and treat her as a guest." I hope that the princess and the general will be able to sing in harmony and hold the case together."

Xue Yao was stunned: "Letter from home?"

"Yes." Eunuch Gao moved closer, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Xue Yao, and lowered his voice, "The general will know after looking at it. The emperor said that the princess's childish nature can't help but talk nonsense. I hope the general will not be jealous and be more tolerant. The matter of these two couples should not be brought to the fore..."

Eunuch Gao peeked at Chuyue huddled in the corner, with ropes and other things hanging on the wall, and was stunned: This General Xue really... He couldn't help but think of what happened in the imperial study earlier today——

Eunuch Gao hurried into the imperial study room, holding an unopened letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, King Shun sent someone to submit a secret letter, saying that Princess Chuyue found many suspicious things in Xue's mansion, and wrote it herself. "

The emperor's eyes froze: "Take it apart quickly, and I will listen to you."

Eunuch Gao opened the letter, read it ten lines at a glance, wiped his forehead, and said hesitantly: "The old slave just said... the princess's letter has listed many crimes committed by General Xue. This first one is to say General Xue is a guillotine, killing innocent people indiscriminately. The princess said that at night, she often heard the general...killing and dismembering corpses in the garden, chanting words to bury his arms, legs and head separately."
