Han Feng 32    

 

The day of Lady Yue Lan's execution arrived. The imperial square was filled with an eerie silence as crowds gathered to witness the rare and dreadful punishment of Lingchi.

 

Soldiers lined the area, ensuring order as Lady Yue Lan was brought forth. Dressed in plain white robes, her once-proud demeanor was replaced by a hollow, defeated expression.

 

Han Feng observed the proceedings from a balcony overlooking the square, his face a mask of calm authority. Xue Li was absent from the event as Han Feng didn't want to taint her eyes with something so brutal.
