Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Prince An still hasn’t made much progress

Gu You stood in front of the government office, addressing the newcomer, “This subordinate greets His Highness Prince Qi.”

Throughout Li Mingjue’s journey, all he had witnessed were the tragedies of Qingzhou City, and his impression of Gu You was extremely poor.

At this moment, seeing Gu You in full official uniform, not at all emaciated and even showing some healthy color in his cheeks, he commanded coldly, “Kneel down!”

Startled by his rebuke, Gu You’s legs went soft, and before he could react, he was already kneeling.

Shuddering all over, he continuously kowtowed vigorously, crying out, “This subordinate deserves death, this subordinate deserves death! I beg for the Prince’s mercy!”

Li Mingjue, watching his spineless display, felt even more incensed.

Shen Xiheng also dismounted from his horse, holding the Imperial Sword in his hand. Looking down at Gu You kneeling on the ground, he said icily, “Gu You, do you see this Imperial Sword in my hand? Today is the day you die!”

Gu You’s life surely couldn’t atone for the lives of one hundred thousand people in Qingzhou, but with things as they were, they could only appease the public rage by executing him first.

“I already realize my mistake!” Gu You hadn’t expected Shen Xiheng to genuinely intend to kill him, and he pleaded desperately, “Spare me, Lord Shen. I have parents above me and a wife and children below!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiheng sneered coldly, “Did those Qingzhou commoners you caused to die not have parents, wives, or children?”
