Chapter XXVI: Punishment
Everyone in the palace came out to see the excitement.
Concubine Ru, who had been loved by the emperor for decades, fell, and was directly sentenced to death. According to the emperor's will, she should be tied to the main palace to be tortured before she was sentenced, so as to tell everyone: If it is not your own, don't start crooked thoughts.
Jiang Huan put on a snow-white coat of hair, rubbed his fingers that were a little frozen, and stood quietly on the high platform looking at the sensational crowd below.
Strange to say, people in the world are always like this, clearly bloody scenes, but they are more and more eager to rush to it, as if they are afraid of missing a single fragment.
Many of the concubines who followed Concubine Ru yesterday came early today in casual clothes, just to occupy a good view to watch Concubine Ru's execution.
The emperor did his last bit of favor, and only sentenced him to hanging, leaving Concubine Ru with a whole corpse.
The hour is near.
Jiang Huan glanced up at the weather and said secretly.
"I know you're here, but Dream Fish has been worried about you for a long time. Chen Ruyi's voice sounded coldly from behind him, and Jiang Huan, who was originally immersed in his thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses.
She turned her head to look at Chen Ruyi, and said with a slight reproach, "Why don't you put on a hair, your son will snow later, and you should be freezing." β
As he spoke, Jiang Huan reached out and took off his big fur cloak and handed it to Chen Ruyi.
Chen Ruyi was not allowed to refuse, she skillfully dressed him, and then she took the place of Mengyu and pushed Chen Ruyi's wheelchair to the place she occupied.
"The view of the place is just right. Chen Ruyi said softly, and the rest of the words were covered up in the wind, and Jiang Huan never heard it.
"yes, I've been picking for a while. But how do you know I'll be here?" Jiang Huan glanced at Mengyu curiously, and the other party gave a thumbs up with admiration, as if he was very appreciative of Chen Ruyi's ability to find people.
Before leaving Fengluan Hall yesterday, Chen Su once said something to Jiang Huan, that is, you are too smart, and you will eventually incur the disaster of killing.
Jiang Huan pondered that sentence in her heart for a long time, and even closed the door at night and didn't see anyone, including her fiancΓ© who had not yet married.
Jiang Huan knew that Chen Su had lived in seclusion in this harem for many years, and he didn't ask about trivial matters, probably because he didn't want to be this smart person.
Concubine Ru prides herself on being smart, but she lacks some heat and good luck.
In fact, Jiang Huan could have cooperated with Concubine Ru and used each other's phoenix seals to act, and he could also quickly gain a foothold in the harem of Chen Guo.
But in a partial way, Concubine Ru would soon discredit Chen Su for stealing the glass lamp, thus killing her.
In the previous life, Jiang Huan would have been soft-hearted, but in this life, she would only eradicate them all mercilessly.
This smart person, she not only wants to be, she also wants to be the smartest woman in Chen Guo.
"You exposed Concubine Ru yesterday, and you must come to see her execution today. That's according to your temperament. Chen Ruyi smiled lightly, and Jiang Huan's heart was itching when he smiled.
"Even Mengyu doesn't know my temperament, but you do?" Jiang Huan asked retortingly.
Chen Ruyi looked up at Jiang Huan with a sudden, his eyes were full of tenderness, and Jiang Huan stopped breathing for a moment.
"A person's nature is formed at an early age, and even if it will change a little bit over the years, it will not change, and it will not change. Chen Ruyi muttered in a low voice.
When Jiang Huan was savoring this sentence, he was listening to the noise below, and he was busy looking at it.
I saw that Concubine Ru had been escorted to the execution table, and she was now embarrassed, which was very different from the brightly dressed woman yesterday.
She never thought that she would be pushed onto the gallows table after a night of glory and sought after by a concubine who had suffered thousands of glory and sought after.
In fact, this hanging was proposed by the queen.
In her previous life, Concubine Ru was just thrown into the cold palace and was exempted from the death penalty. But in this life, the queen not only wants her to die, but also wants her to die the next day.
It's too fast, it's not like Chen Su's actions.
"You and the queen proposed it?" Jiang Huan asked in a low voice.
Chen Ruyi, who was beside him, was just silent, with a slight smile in his eyes, which was regarded as answering Jiang Huan's question.
Yesterday, Concubine Ru made Jiang Huan lose face in front of the concubines, although she later suffered the consequences, but if she was not severely punished, it would be difficult to quickly establish Jiang Huan's majesty in the harem.
Chen Ruyi rubbed the jade wrench finger in his left hand twice, his eyes were lowered, and he said softly, "Do you think I want her to die today?"
Jiang Huan laughed out loud when she heard this, she propped her hands on the railing in front of her, and looked down intently, "Because you want Concubine Ru's power to collapse once you want, don't give them a chance to react." β
Concubine Ru has been in the harem for many years, and she also has a lot of forces that belong to her.
No one knows what kind of power these forces have.
The best way to prevent the river from bursting is to make it disappear.
Jiang Huan had to admire Chen Ruyi's decisiveness and ruthlessness, not dragging mud and water, and not having Chen Du's indecisiveness that is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness. It is a person who is suitable to be supported to a high position by himself and grasp the power of Chen Guo.
When the time of execution was approaching, the executioner grabbed Concubine Ru's hair and poured a bowl of farewell wine into her mouth, without giving her the slightest time to react.
Concubine Ru was choked, and her thin body kept trembling.
But in the next moment, a hemp rope was put around her neck, and almost without giving her an instant, the executioner threw down a token.
The executioner tightened the hemp rope skillfully, and Concubine Ru didn't even have much time to resist, she kicked her legs hard, and her eyes full of resentment looked up and met Jiang Huan's eyes.
She seemed to want to say something, and grabbed the hemp rope with both hands, but she couldn't spit out a word when the words came to her lips.
Jiang Huan saw that she was no longer struggling, and swallowed her breath completely.
"I'm done, I'm going back. Jiang Huan shook the dust off his hands and helped Chen Ruyi's wheelchair, "Shall I push you back?"
Chen Ruyi was about to refuse, but Jiang Huan was already pushing the wheelchair forward by herself, and she didn't forget to muttered as she walked, "I've seen your leg, it's a very tricky disease." I don't have a cure for your leg disease right now, but I know a way to get you up and walk for a short time. It's just that the effect of this method is very short-lived, and it is also very painful, depending on whether you want to try it or not. β
Chen Ru pondered for a moment, and a snowflake slowly fell, landing on his long eyelashes.
"Why don't you try. β
