199~ Those Who Deserve Death!
After staying in this room for an unknown amount of time, the little Princess finally pushed a cart out.
Walking to Xuan's side, she expended great effort to gradually move the little loli Xuan onto the cart bit by bit, then gradually pushed the cart to the great hall.
This process continued for an unknown duration before she managed to move Xuan into the coffin in the great hall. After finishing, she seemed somewhat exhausted.
It was all Xuan's fault! This was clearly inside the Divine Realm, yet she didn't construct a better body for her! Making her expend so much effort now!
Before closing the coffin lid, the little Princess went back to the room to find an ink brush and ruthlessly drew a big turtle on Xuan's face.
"..."
The air was terrifyingly silent. Without Xuan, she discovered this church was just like a scene for filming horror movies. During her struggles, night had quietly fallen. This was also the first time she had witnessed nightfall here, the first time she wasn't kicked out after night descended in the Divine Realm.
After night fell, the candles on the walls around the church and placed in various corners suddenly began burning, doing their utmost to drive away the darkness.
Under the illumination of candlelight, the entire church's atmosphere seemed exceptionally eerie, especially outside the church, where there was only endless darkness.
Knock knock knock—
Suddenly hearing something knocking on a window, the little Princess casually picked up a nearby candle and moved close to the window making the sound. When she looked, the knocking sound disappeared again.
Something was wrong!
Her intuition told her something was definitely wrong, especially outside the church. She was certain she absolutely hadn't misheard. Just now, there was definitely something knocking on the window!
Since Xuan had explicitly told her she couldn't leave the scope of the church and that there was danger outside, plus the knocking sounds from outside now, she roughly guessed what it was. Outside the church were some dangerous creatures!
After realizing this, the little Princess held the candle and moved away from the window. After she walked back near the coffin, she heard that knocking sound again.
......
......
"Princess Mo? Princess Mo?"
The young woman in a white coat continuously tried to wake the young woman on the bed.
It was already two hours past lunchtime. When the little loli maid Xiyan came to wake the little Princess for her meal, she discovered she couldn't wake the little Princess no matter what and called the Empress over. After that, the Empress found that conventional methods were useless and called over the only Archmage in Scarlet Phoenix Nation who specialized in healing and support magic.
"Mm..."
Reaching out to block the hand that was about to touch her nose, the little Princess began showing signs of waking.
"Your Majesty, Princess Mo is about to wake."
"Mm."
Everyone here was clear that the little Princess had suddenly woken on her own, not because she was awakened by this Archmage the Empress had invited.
"Mo? How is Mo doing? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
The Empress sat at the bedside, placing her hand on the little Princess's head and gently rubbing.
"Mm mm..."
At this point, the little Princess still hadn't fully awakened, still in a half-asleep, half-awake state.
"Mm..."
Just after waking, the little Princess clutched her own head.
Waking from the Divine Realm, she felt like her head was about to explode.
So this was the feeling of actively severing the connection with the Divine Realm on her own without Xuan's assistance?
"Mo?"
"Mm? Fei?"
Just after waking, she discovered several people surrounding the bed. The Empress, the little loli maid Xiyan, the Maid Ling, Red Leaf, and a young woman in a white coat who looked like a doctor.
What was this situation? Could something serious have happened during the time she entered the Divine Realm?
Wait, why were they all looking at her?
After realizing the problem seemed to lie with herself, the little Princess propped up her weakened body and sat up leaning against the headboard.
"What happened?"
The little Princess looked back at everyone with confusion.
"Princess Mo, didn't you know? When I came to call you for the meal, you had no reaction at all!"
Xiyan had an expression like she was about to cry. Those who didn't know would think some bastard actually had the heart to bully such an adorable little loli!
But regarding what Xiyan said, she truly had no recollection at all.
It seemed that after entering the Divine Realm, she needed to pay attention to time. Inside the Divine Realm, she had no way to sense other matters from the outside world.
"But none of that matters now. As long as Princess Mo has woken up, that's all that counts."
Because she couldn't wake in the Divine Realm, several people surrounded her worrying for a long time?
It seemed this was the first time she was truly cared for by others apart from those in Glaze Nation and Xuan.
"Mm."
After that, following a simple physical examination, the little Princess drank a bowl of hot porridge while the Empress also sent everyone else out.
"Mo."
"What?"
The little Princess drank the porridge that the little loli maid Xiyan had carefully cooked, sip by sip.
"Did Mo meet with that Xuan?"
"Mm."
The little Princess showed no evasion and directly admitted it.
"So Mo didn't wake when called because of meeting with Xuan, is that right?"
"Mm."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
As long as there was nothing wrong with the little Princess's body.
As for what the little Princess and Xuan discussed when they met, she wouldn't inquire. If the little Princess was willing to say, she would. If unwilling, she wouldn't force her.
"Then after finishing this bowl of porridge, rest well."
She still had important matters to handle and temporarily couldn't spare attention to care for the little Princess.
Compensating the little Princess could wait a few more days. Right now, the most important matter at hand was purging those nobles who had intentions of overthrowing her rule.
Although these nobles fundamentally couldn't shake her rule, this kind of small-scale trouble would also drag down the domestic economy and the implementation of various policies. In the long term, it was no small loss.
Moreover, these nobles were already showing contempt for imperial authority. The crime was already sufficient for executing nine generations of kin.
She had personally abolished the slavery laws, yet they still dared to conduct slave trading privately?
They deserved death!
As city lords, they actually dared to collude with merchants to arbitrarily inflate prices for profit, arbitrarily modify tax amounts to exploit the common people?
They deserved death!
Showing contempt for imperial authority, even daring to openly defy the decrees this Empress issued, even colluding together behind the scenes attempting to threaten imperial authority?
They deserved death!
As officials yet doing nothing, turning a blind eye or even privately colluding with nobles and merchants, arbitrarily trampling the law?
They deserved death!
This group of damned nobles along with the officials and slave merchants colluding with them, all of them deserved death!
Day after day not taking her words seriously, arbitrarily exploiting commoners, treating human lives as worthless.
If that was the case, then these people had no value whatsoever. At worst, after the purge, she could directly dispatch pieces trained by the Scarlet Maid Corps to assume positions as city lords and important officials. Wouldn't that be much more useful than these good-for-nothings?
