Chapter 502: The Art of Witchcraft
"Father, the queen mother is confused, so she made these things! Father, the queen mother has already known that she is wrong, a few villains will not hurt anyone, didn't it work if the queen mother burned a few before? Li Zhong pleaded bitterly.
At this time, Yuan Ziyan had also arrived, and when he heard Li Zhong's words, he couldn't help sighing, revenge for injustice, there is a cause and an effect. Zhang Xingcheng knelt on the ground and shook into a ball, wanting to cry without tears, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, it is impossible not to report such a big matter, and once it is made public, thousands of people will be implicated, whose fault is it?
Li Zhi rushed to the main hall with a black face and anger, Wu Mei did not hold him, at this time, an emperor would not ignore the laws of the country because Zhaoyi was afraid of the oath, so he could only chase him out.
Only Yuan Ziyan and Li Zhong were left in the hall, and Li Zhong was still crying and very sad. Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, sat down, was distracted for a while, and asked, "Zhong'er, your queen mother should be good to you, right?" ”
"Good, simply impeccable." Li Zhong replied with his head down.
"Why did you hurt her?" Yuan Ziyan asked lightly.
"Zhong'er didn't!"
"Son, there are no outsiders here, come. Come to the arms of the imperial grandmother, what grievances do you have, just tell me, okay? Yuan Ziyan beckoned.
Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down in front of Yuan Ziyan with tears, put his head on his knees, and muttered after a while: "Imperial grandmother, the reason why the queen mother is good to Zhong'er is actually that she uses Zhong'er, which is equivalent to being good to herself. Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the queen mother wanted to have a daughter, my biological mother would not have died tragically. Although Yang En is great, in the eyes of Zhong'er, it will never be as great as Sheng En. Because my mother gave me a life, and what my mother gave me was only a year of wealth and glory. Imperial grandmother. Zhong'er avenged her mother, her wish has been fulfilled, and she has long been determined to die, and Zhong'er is not afraid. ”
Yuan Ziyan was moved to tears, rubbing this child's head, Li Zhong was the least outstanding of all the princes Yuan Ziyan had ever seen, whether it was in terms of civil and military strategy or appearance. Even the popularity of the mind is too ordinary. But this child is worthy of being the descendant of the Li family, with tenacious perseverance and stubborn character. After enduring by the enemy's side for more than a year, he finally waited for this opportunity.
"Good boy, the imperial grandmother will not denounce you, this is a secret between the two of us. Don't say hello to a third person? Yuan Ziyan gently lifted Li Zhong's chin.
But Wu Zhaoyi seemed to see through it. Her eyes are so powerful, like two swords, shot into Zhong'er's heart. Li Zhong said dejectedly.
"As long as you don't admit it, no one can do anything about you. Zhong'er, the outside world is very big, do you want to go out and have a look? Yuan Ziyan said.
"Well, Zhong'er will resign as a crown prince to his father and stay away from Chang'an. It's just that I don't know when I can see the imperial grandmother again. Please also ask the imperial grandmother to take care, and Zhong'er will bow down! Li Zhong slammed Yuan Ziyan a few times with tears in his eyes.
I'm used to seeing you in the palace. Yuan Ziyan's heart has long been tempered, and he is not alarmed, but for some reason, it is as fragile as glass at this moment, and it seems that he can hear the sound of shattering.
Li Zhong wiped his tears and left slowly, looking at this thin and lonely figure, Yuan Ziyan couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Zhong'er, if you miss your grandmother in the future, go to Mochiyue Villa to find Li Shan, and if you have difficulties, you can also go to him, just say that I said it." ”
"Imperial Grandmother!" Li Zhong stopped, turned around and cried and threw himself into Yuan Ziyan's arms, whimpering: "Zhong'er thinks that he will have no relatives in the future. ”
"Don't be afraid, Zhong'er, and me, don't be afraid." Yuan Ziyan hugged Li Zhong tightly, feeling sad.
Life is like this, it is difficult to be perfect, although Li Zhong was a neglected prince before, but with his biological mother, he lived a happy and happy life, which is incomparable to other princes and princesses. Later, when he became the prince, he seemed to ascend to the sky in one step, but he saw his mother die tragically, and he had to live under the eaves of the enemy, and now the queen cannot escape death, although Li Zhong has revenge and can comfort his deceased mother, but he still feels guilty about the queen, and the shadow area in his heart is much larger.
After Li Zhong left, Yuan Ziyan wiped away his tears and hurried to the main hall, sure enough, before he arrived, he heard Li Zhi's angry roar.
The queen knelt on the ground, her face did not change, it has reached the point where it is today, what is there to argue? I saw that her face was blue and red, she should have been slapped by Li Zhi himself, the phoenix crown in her hair was removed, and her hair was scattered messily.
But Queen Wang didn't feel cold, her sins were unforgivable, and it was normal for Li Zhi to behave like this. But when he recalled that he was embarrassed, Li Zhi still remembered himself, which is enough to show that he had his own in his heart, at least he once had.
has been loved and cared for, these can make the queen and queen's heart peaceful.
"Queen, I treat you well, why do you put me to death again and again?" Li Zhi asked angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry, the magic of witchcraft has always been nothing, and Your Majesty has not had any discomfort?" Wu Mei knelt down with tears, no matter what, Queen Wang was her own nobleman, and she couldn't help but speak.
"I had a head attack, my eyes were red and painful, Hong'er fell into the water, hurting my heart and lungs, you worked day and night, and fainted several times, isn't it caused by the queen's curse?" Li Zhi turned around and saw Yuan Ziyan, and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, my stepmother's birthday is unknown, so it didn't spread." ”
"Zhi'er, what to do with it, look at your face, go back and rest first." Yuan Ziyan helplessly stepped forward to persuade.
"When my stepmother, my grandfather and father were alive, could I be so exhausted?" Li Zhi suddenly asked in a wailing voice.
Yuan Ziyan nodded: "It's more than that." ”
"Mother-in-law, is Zhi'er really weak and incompetent?"
"No, in the eyes of his stepmother, Zhi'er is a good man who takes care of his family, but he was born in the emperor's family by mistake."
"Mother-in-law, any decision made by Zhi'er today is for the purpose of purging the back court, you can just sit down." Li Zhi suppressed his anger, looked back at Queen Wang on the ground, and suddenly flew up and kicked her to the ground, Queen Wang struggled to get up, and Li Zhi kicked a few more times until Queen Wang fell to the ground and couldn't move, but she didn't say a word, and she was willing to bear it.
"As the queen, the Wang family practiced witchcraft in the palace, knew the law and broke the law, and the crime should be punished. In order to clear the miasma of the Houting court, he immediately removed the queen's title, took back the phoenix seal gold book, and was demoted to a concubine. The Wang clan colluded with Gao Yang and others to destroy the embankment, flooded the palace, and drowned 3,000 palace people and ordinary people. Come, chop off the queen's limbs, gouge out her eyes, cut off her tongue and smoke her ears, and throw her into a wine jar, so that she cannot be fed, and let her fend for herself! ”
Li Zhi's words made all the people present break out in a cold sweat, the Great Han Lu Empress once used this kind of torture to treat the enemy Mrs. Qi, making her a human being, Mrs. Qi was tortured for more than a month before dying, how sad and pitiful.
"Your Majesty, the Wang family is the queen of a country and a famous family, so she shouldn't be ......"
"Wu Mei, I don't need your pity!" Queen Wang tried to sit up, her eyes behind her hair looked at Wu Mei coldly, and she snorted: "I gladly accept all the punishments that Your Majesty has done to me, and I will never complain!" It's you, the femme fatale, who commits the crime, and you can't die well! ”
"Come on, execute immediately!" Li Zhi couldn't listen to Queen Wang still hating people who shouldn't be very good at this time, and commanded loudly while walking out, and there was a mournful cry from Queen Wang behind him: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong." In this life, I am willing to wash away my sins with torture, and if there is an afterlife, I am willing to be a slave and a slave, and follow Your Majesty! ”
Li Zhitou didn't look back, and the rest of the people also dispersed, Yuan Ziyan gave Wu Mei a look, and Wu Mei had no choice but to leave. Queen Wang was no longer afraid of death at this time, she looked out of the door, hoping that the emperor could take back her life and give her a decent way to die, if there was still a husband and wife.
Sure enough, soon a holy decree was conveyed, but the queen's heart completely fell into the ice cellar, so the father was deprived of the title and title, and the surname of the Wang family was changed to python after his death, and Xiao Shufei and the queen's accomplices, and the surname was changed to Xiao after his death.
As the name suggests, pythons, pythons, and owls are evil birds, which shows that Li Zhi no longer has the slightest affection for them. The queen finally took her eyes back, waiting blankly for her last moment.
Immediately after that, several executioners took all kinds of knives, axes, wine jars and other things, and when they saw these, the queen couldn't help but feel stunned, and she was speechless.
"Master Guoshi, the time for execution has come." The executioner said tentatively.
"Leave it to me here, you go down." Yuan Ziyan waved his hand and said.
"But ......"
"No, but, if Your Majesty asks, just push it on me." Yuan Ziyan's face turned cold, and several people naturally didn't dare to insist, so they retreated.
There were only two people left in the empty main hall, Yuan Ziyan and Queen Wang, Yuan Ziyan broke the silence for a while, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "If you want to cry, cry!" ”
"Hmph, the national teacher is Wu Mei's stepmother, so she watched my jokes for her, right?" Queen Wang asked coldly.
"Aren't you enough to make people laugh right now?" Yuan Ziyan disagreed.
Queen Wang was stunned and silent.
"Your mother has been assigned to the frontier, and when she heard that she could not bear the pain of wandering, she also worried about your safety, and soon fell ill. You also know that officials don't take special care of this kind of person, and if my news is correct, she is already dead on the road. As for where it is buried, it is unknown. ”
"Mother?" A touch of sadness flashed on Queen Wang's face, and then she changed to a miserable smile: "I have already paid her back, it's better to be dead, and I don't have to worry about it." ”
"You'll be with her soon."
"National Teacher!" Queen Wang suddenly raised her head, no longer caring about her noble origin, and pleaded: "Master Guoshi, please intercede for Your Majesty, let me die a few days later?" ”
"This kind of ending is already doomed, what is the difference between dying early and dying late?" Yuan Ziyan asked coldly. (To be continued......)
