Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2302: Chapter 2302: Expelled from the Royal Family

"Humph! Protect? The Emperor would like to protect, but can he? He can’t even manage his own dirty affairs. I think he’s not brave enough, that’s why he’s pretending to want to execute the Fourth Prince."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Criticizing the Emperor so loudly. Do you want to die?"

"Psh, what’s to fear? Right now, the entire Capital’s commoners have issues with him. Could it be that the Emperor will kill all the commoners in the Capital?" said the woman carelessly.

"After all, we’re commoners. It’s better to be cautious. We don’t ask for wealth and status, just to be safe and sound."

"If you’re scared, don’t speak. Anyway, I’m not afraid. My entire family has been killed by the Emperor, and I’m the only one left. What am I afraid of?"

The speaking woman originally had a family of four, living happily and contentedly. However, recently, after her three-year-old son went missing, her husband fell off a cliff accidentally while searching and met a tragic end. When the body was retrieved, only the upper half remained; the lower half had been eaten by wolves. Her seventy-year-old mother-in-law, crushed by the loss of grandson and son, took her own life the night after her son’s burial. Now the woman lives alone, with life offering no hope, naturally, she’s even unafraid of the Emperor.

Those without anything have nothing to fear but death.

"Alright, alright, you’re right, I’m afraid of you, okay? Let’s go, let’s go, don’t say so much." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

They were all people with miserable fates. As they talked, several women walked forward.

"Miss, it seems your guess was right. The Emperor indeed plans to kill the Fourth Prince." At the street corner, stood Xuexue and her servant. They had been standing there, listening for a while.

Xuexue was dressed in a green gown, with nothing but a hairpin on her head. Her entire appearance seemed fresh and clean, without makeup, completely different from her usual attire at the War Prince’s Mansion.

They had slightly used facial disguise today, and no one recognized them.

Xuexue: "For the sake of stabilizing his throne, the Emperor killed his own brother. What is a mere Fourth Prince to him? Besides, the emperor has countless sons. A Fourth Prince is insignificant."

Zi Xia rubbed the goosebumps on her arm and said: "I really don’t understand the Emperor. For reputation, he can even sacrifice his own son. Born into the Royal Family, their status seems incredibly noble, but in reality, they’re not even as good as commoners."

Xuexue said resentfully: "The Fourth Prince isn’t anything good either. He deserves such retribution."

Though Xuexue desperately wanted to personally kill the Fourth Prince for revenge, seeing him killed by the Emperor in public was more meaningful than doing it herself.

Not just branded as a monster, but also killed by his own father. For the Fourth Prince, it’s undoubtedly a form of suffering.

They followed the crowd to the Imperial Edict. It read, the Fourth Prince’s behavior is improper, he veered off the path, violating the Late Emperor’s last wishes, and secretly practiced evil cultivation alone. He even killed many commoners, bringing immeasurable disaster to Moli Country, deserving of death. According to the Late Emperor’s wishes, for practicing evil cultivation, the Fourth Prince should be expelled from the royal family. Tomorrow, at the Southern City Gate at three o’clock in the afternoon, he will be beheaded for public display.

"Expelled from the royal family?"

Xuexue murmured softly. This she hadn’t expected, that the Emperor would expel the Fourth Prince from the royal family, degrading him to a commoner.

Zi Xia lowered her head and said: "Miss, what does the Emperor mean? He’s already decided to execute the Fourth Prince, so why expel him from the royal family? What’s the point?"
