Although Qin Yu had left the Imperial Palace, she remained keenly aware of the madness that Lin Heng was exhibiting within its walls.
Until dusk.
At dusk, the civil and military officials in the town square were all so pale they could barely stand, many of them supporting one another.
In front of them lay a pile of dead bodies, not directly killed, but mostly bled out slowly after being castrated, the corpses piled up, leaving only a group of women who looked like lambs awaiting slaughter.
Yue Taichu was still alive.
Could those girls stay alive?
As Lin Heng's gaze fell on these women, some officials wondered whether Prime Minister Lin intended to spare these women for insult, to be turned into government prostitutes?
Actually, no.
With just a look from Lin Heng, his subordinates got the eunuchs and concubines under the Prime Minister's command to bring over cups of poisoned wine.
Poisoned wine to bestow death.
