Chapter 120: Three Choices

Time is the cruelest thing in the world, it doesn't stop for anyone, anything, and my last night passed like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The most regrettable thing for me is that at the moment when I was half-dragged out of the cell by the servants, I looked up and did not see the warm sunshine.

The wind stopped, the sky was overcast, and countless tiny snowflakes fluttered between the sky and the earth, and fell on my face with a cold cold. I didn't expect winter to come so early here.

Only Zhang Zhongwen knelt on the ground in front of the hall, he was covered in blood, his head drooped, his thin body was shaky, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured.

Liuzhu and Huang Laosi did not go to court, no wonder, their confessions all said that Zhang Zhongwen was my accomplice. If they go to court, Zhang Zhongwen's suspicion will not be washed away. All the Jiang family wants is for me to confess, and as long as I take the initiative to confess, the existence of Liuzhu and Huang Laosi has no value.

Jiang sat on the throne in the middle, looking down on all beings from above. Dongfang Zheng, Dongfang Xun brothers sit on both sides, but they are noble and make people dare not look at them directly. I looked at Dongfang Zheng, his face was impassive, but his eyes seemed to tell me to reassure me.

The moment I retracted my gaze, I glanced at Dongfang Xun, he didn't seem to have changed at all, and he looked tougher than before. Maybe Jiang was right, he didn't care about me at all. But that's okay, there is no longer a saying between us about who owes whom and who disappoints whom, and it is completely broken.

"Get down on your knees!" the officer threw me to the ground and reported to the people on high, "the prisoners have been brought!"

Jiang bowed slightly, and the errand officer retreated to the side.

"Concubines see the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Prince!" The once delicate and slender fingers were already red and swollen and could not see the original appearance, and my hands were propped up on the ground, and I was in cold sweat and my body was trembling.

If you know that your death is near, then the time you are still alive will become an ordeal. All your pain will be infinitely magnified, you will feel that life is worse than death, and you will hope that death will come soon. At this moment, I am undoubtedly in such a mood, and I look forward to Jiang Shi giving me a good time soon.

"Sun Xuan, raise your head!" Jiang ordered.

"Yes!" I said, looking up, the sweat on my forehead running down my hair and onto my cheeks. Seeing me so embarrassed, Jiang's heart should be very proud.

"You designed to kill Concubine Li, can you be guilty?" Jiang asked.

"The concubine is guilty! It is not a pity to die for such a crime, and if you want to kill it, you must listen to the fate of the Empress Dowager. However, Zhang Zhongwen was innocently implicated by me, and asked the Empress Dowager to learn from it and return his innocence. I bowed my head and replied.

Yesterday I didn't admit it, but today I suddenly admit it. Zhao Jianming was shocked that his attitude changed so quickly, but he didn't show it.

The Jiang family and Dongfang Zheng have not changed much in their mood, because they have long known that I will admit to the crime of killing Concubine Li.

Dongfang Xun felt a kind of deception, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Zhang Zhongwen's body was trembling, for an upright person like him, it was more uncomfortable to ask him to protect himself than to ask him to die. I don't know what Dongfang Zheng told him, let him know that I was talking nonsense but pretended not to hear, maybe he understood the meaning of my words. Either way, that's exactly what I want, it's better for him to live alone than for the two of us to die together.

"Since you have confessed to the crime of killing Concubine Li, then you should tell clearly how you killed Concubine Li!" Jiang asked correctly, even if I confessed, I still have to explain the crime clearly.

"The concubine was jealous that Concubine Li was favored by the prince and had an heir, so she had evil thoughts and wanted to get rid of her and the fetus in her womb. The concubine first sent a letter to Concubine Li, asking her to meet in the temple in the west of the city later. After the concubine asked Zhang Zhongwen to find a carriage to send her to the broken temple in the west of the city, she was about to go to the broken temple to meet Concubine Li. The concubine knocked Zhang Zhongwen unconscious in the ruined temple, and killed Concubine Li with the gilded dagger she carried with her. But people are not as good as heaven, when the concubine committed the murder, he was seen by the homeless Huang Laosi, he ran to report to the official, and the concubine was caught by the messenger of the Metropolitan Criminal Division when she wanted to kill Liuzhu. "I connected the events before and after and made up such a set of narratives.

There will always be a lot of unreasonableness in the random story, and there will be unclear explanations. I think as long as the Jiang family doesn't pursue it, no one will pursue this, the point is, as long as I confess to the crime of killing Concubine Li. As long as I admit it, no one will doubt whether I have been wronged.

I don't know what kind of mood Dongfang Xun felt after hearing this, I probably think that I am innocent of death! Just by looking at his angry face.

"Zhang Zhongwen, is what Sun Xuan said true?" the Jiang clan turned his gaze to Zhang Zhongwen.

After the villain sent Princess Xuan to the ruined temple, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then fainted. What happened after that was unbeknownst to the villain. Zhang Zhongwen's voice trembled.

"Now that the matter is clear, Zhang Zhongwen is innocent. Zhao Qing, you can arrange for someone to release Zhang Zhongwen!"

"Yes!" Zhao Jianming bent over to the Jiang family, and then greeted the next hall, "Come on, release Zhang Zhongwen from Zongzheng Temple." ”

The officers reacted quickly, and someone immediately helped Zhang Zhongwen up and took him out. Zhang Zhongwen thanked him and stood up tremblingly. I turned my head to look at him and saw a tear trail on his face. With his mouth open, he didn't say anything, and said to him, "Goodbye!"

After Zhang Zhongwen left, I breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground and said to the Jiang family: "The concubine has committed such a crime, and she knows that the crime is unforgivable, so she only wants to die quickly! ”

"It's not an exaggeration to say that you have committed a thousand cuts, but the mourning family remembers that you once saved the life of the king of the north, so they will leave you a whole corpse. There are three things here, you can choose one for yourself!" Jiang's words landed, and three palace maids stood in front of me with three things.

A bright sword, a long white silk, and a silver cup with poisoned wine.

It is said that it is three things, but in fact, they are all dead words. I thought about it, then smiled, and said to the Jiang family: "The concubine will choose the drug bar!"

After listening to my choice, the other two palace maids went down automatically with their things, and the remaining palace maids put the poisoned wine in front of me.

"Sun Xuan, do you still have something to say? If so, you can say it. Jiang finally asked.

"The Empress Dowager, I can't move my fingers, please find someone to help me get the wine glass!" I said with a smile.

Jiang turned his head to Fushun and said, "Fushun, you go!", thinking that it was handed over to someone else, he was not at ease.

Fushun lowered his head and was about to reply, when he saw Dongfang Xun suddenly stand up and said to the Jiang family, "Just let your grandson come!"

Everyone was staring at him, and I was no exception. After being surprised, I quickly figured it out, he probably wanted to give me one last ride!

"Okay then!" Jiang frowned slightly, but finally agreed.

Dongfang Xun came to me, knelt on one knee and brought the cup of poisonous wine weighing like a thousand catties to my mouth. His hands trembled, and the black liquor rippled in the silver cup.

He didn't say anything to me, and when I looked at him, I saw that his eyes seemed to be moist.

"Singing about wine, life is geometric! Thank the Empress Dowager for her generous gifts!" I laughed, a mockery of the Jiang family, and drank all the poisonous wine.

"Ding~啷!" The empty silver cup fell to the ground with a very crisp and pleasant sound.

The poisonous wine entered my abdomen, and the sharp colic pain made me unable to hold my body anymore, curled up in a ball and leaned against Dongfang Xun's arms and convulsed non-stop, blood spilled from my mouth and nose. However, this pain did not last long, and it can be said that it ended quickly. After a violent convulsion, my body stopped all movement and my head drooped.

Jiang glanced at the guards he had brought with him. The guard came up to me and probed my snort and pulse, and then replied to Jiang, "The man is dead. ”

"Let's go!" Jiang still had the same kind and calm face, and left with a group of people.

Dongfang Zheng followed, but when he walked up to Dongfang Xun, he bent down and patted him on the shoulder.

Everyone left, and there was only Dongfang Xun's roar in the empty hall, and he couldn't tell how sad and sad he was.
