Chapter 1501 She Will Become a Sinner of All Ages

The entire square echoed only with the voice of Prince Yu.

The rest were silent.

He had admitted it.

He had truly admitted it himself!

The Imperial Advisor was harmed by him, and the moat was collapsed by his order.

Over three thousand innocent citizens had been killed by him!

Those who had just defended Prince Yu were now wishing they could flay him alive!

They had truly wasted their emotions on Prince Yu for nothing.

They never expected Prince Yu to be so utterly insane!

He was the one who truly wanted to seize power and contend for the throne! In order to fight for the empire, he disregarded the lives of his people.

Did he have any humanity left?

It turned out that the Princess was right to make him kneel at Guang'an Gate; Prince Yu deserved it!

Could his crimes be washed away by merely kneeling?

Prince Yu was beyond redemption!

"Prince Yu, since you confess your guilt, today, I, this Princess, shall punish you in front of all the people!"

More anxious than anyone else seemed to be the Princess on the high platform.

"Guards!"

With a command from Chu Qianli, Yang Xun personally stepped forward and lifted Prince Yu, whose acupoints had been sealed.

From the high platform, the Princess's voice was deep as she ordered, "Prince Yu, for his selfish desires, has harmed loyal officials and devastated three thousand citizens. His crimes are unforgivable!"

"Today, I shall personally order the execution of this sinner!"

Yang Xun brought Prince Yu to the execution platform, and everyone was stunned.

Even Chu Minghao turned to look at Chu Qianli, disbelieving.

She was really... really going to execute his father?

Although Chu Minghao, having narrowly escaped death, no longer had any feelings for his father, he was still his father.

Most importantly, he was Chu Qianli's eldest imperial uncle!

If Chu Qianli ordered the execution of her eldest imperial uncle today, her reputation would be utterly ruined, and she would be known as a cruel and unfeeling princess.

Her name would be reviled for eternity!

The common people also found it hard to believe. Was the Princess really going to personally order the execution of her eldest imperial uncle?

Even if an Emperor ordered the execution of his own brother, he would later be known as a tyrant by the people.

Although Prince Yu was indeed deserving of death, whoever ordered the execution would bear the infamy.

Did the Princess... dare?

Before the crowd could linger in their doubt, Chu Qianli stood up.

As she stood, Feng Yexuan, from his carriage not far behind, clenched his fists tightly.

This damned woman, she was starting again!

For her family, for the greater good, she would stop at nothing!

She was truly willing to risk everything, to disregard all consequences, just to remove the greatest bane of her father's life!

This woman, this woman!

She was stubborn to the point of heartbreak!

"Execute!"

Chu Qianli gave the order, and the executioner raised his broadsword.

Chu Lingyang, who had rushed over, exclaimed in exasperation, "Hold the blade!"

"Execute!" Chu Qianli's voice carried a deep internal force.

The executioner dared not hesitate further, and the broadsword fell...

...

The wind blew.

The entire imperial chamber was quiet.

Everyone's expressions were solemn, depressed, uneasy, and heavy.

Chu Lingyang's heart was complex, filled with both heartache and sorrow.

In short, he felt terrible, extremely terrible.

Perhaps the only person present who did not feel terrible was the Emperor, still slumbering heavily on the dragon bed in the inner chamber.

After an unknown period, Chu Lingyang finally spoke, "Little Qianli, he is your eldest imperial uncle, your own blood."

As he spoke, he realized how hoarse his voice had become.

Chu Qianli's eyes darkened slightly. She looked at him but smiled faintly, "Second Imperial Uncle, are you blaming me for being unfeeling towards family?"
