There were only a few dozen executioners transferred from all over the country, and they were huge in physique, sitting on the sidelines, some drinking to strengthen their courage, some sharpening their knives, and their expressions were cold and hideous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

An executioner took a sip of wine on the knife, and when he saw a man kneeling there, he trembled and laughed: "Little rabbit, don't be afraid. He made a gesture: "The hand is up and down, move quickly, it doesn't hurt." ”

The man's whole body trembled, and he was already urinating.

The warden sat on the stage, pen in hand, and waited for the hour to come, sketching the names in the booklet—for each tick, the executioner would kill one.

Mrs. Li led the female dependents to kneel behind. When the men were done, it was their women's turn. Mrs. Li was blindfolded, unable to see anyone, only hearing the hustle and bustle of the surrounding crowds, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were read quickly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the yang energy is at its fullest, and the scorching sun is in the sky, shining from the head, making people drowsy.

The warden stood up and announced, "Execution." ”

There was a sudden uproar among the people, and suddenly there was a dead silence again.

The executioners stepped forward with their knives and drew their cards in turn, and Mrs. Li heard something rolling down on Xingtai in the darkness, and the people burst into cheers.

Some hot and humid liquid splashed on her face, and the people in front of her fell one by one, and the strong smell of blood became heavier and heavier.

A huge body finally walked up to her, heavy footsteps, heavy panting, and a strong fishy smell came to her face.

With a strong force, Mrs. Li's rope of the Buddha beads was torn alive, and one by one they fell and fell on the Xingtai, making a crackling sound and rolling down into the increasingly viscous river of blood.

She could almost smell the liquor on the blade, with a sinister and cold tone.

From a long distance, there was a sudden shout, barely audible in the cheers of the people.

"Keep people under the knife! The Divine Decree has arrived! ”

Mrs. Li was just excited in her heart, but there was a sudden stabbing pain in her neck.

She suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, followed by an imbalance and a fall in her body.

"Bang-" The sound of landing was clearly audible in my ears, and the black cloth on my head fell off.

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, but it was blood-red, and the blood on the ground seemed to drown her. She opened her mouth slightly, the cold wind pierced her intestines, her neck was cold and piercing, she couldn't move, and the voice in her ears became clearer and clearer.

- "The holy decree has arrived, pardoning the daughters of the Li family, and they have not entered the court." ”

The ladies of the Li family cried in unison, intersecting with joy and sorrow. Mrs. Li slowly exhaled her last breath.

A man dies like a lamp goes out.

Such as the main hall of the painted palace, the front door of the palace can be full of birds, the palace people are rare, and the lively and prosperous scene of the past is not there.

Concubine Li opened her eyes on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was so thin that she was skinny and bone-like, like a withered flower, and had lost her delicate face.

She seemed to hear the faint sound of the bell coming from outside the palace gate, and stood up and asked Chen Shanggong, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "What time is it?" Her voice was hoarse, no longer mellow and crisp as it used to be.

Chen Shanggong saw Concubine Li wake up and held her, his lips were buzzing and trembling: "Niangniang...... It's noon. ”

Concubine Li closed her eyes, her face was sad, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, she stroked her face, buried herself in the quilt, and roared silently—her people were all slaughtered.

A little palace maid hurriedly ran in and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, Your Majesty issued an order to pardon the Li family's female dependents and confiscate them as slaves." Concubine Li opened her eyes, she didn't catch her breath, she coughed and grabbed Chen Shanggong's arm: "What about my mother?" Is my mother okay? ”

The little palace maid hesitated for a moment, kowtowed, and said, "The holy decree is a step late, Mrs. Li...... I've already been punished......"

Concubine Li screamed and fainted.

Rue Palace is in chaos again, but on such a day, who would dare to go out and ask for a doctor. Chen Shanggong pinched Concubine Li's people: "Quick, bring a glass of water." The little palace maid hurriedly poured a glass of water, Chen Shanggong took water, and squirted at Concubine Li, splashing her face.

Concubine Li slowly opened her eyes in the water stains on her face, without saying a word, her tears had already flowed, as if she was missing a little bit of vitality.

Wu Huiru of Yucheng Shanggong walked into the palace at this time, and saw Concubine Li, who was already dead in Chen Shanggong's arms, went straight to the bed and slapped Concubine Li hard.

Everyone was stunned.

Wu Huiru tightly grasped Concubine Li's hand: "Niangniang, before Mrs. leaves, I will give you a thousand instructions to let the concubine protect you well, and the revenge has not been avenged. ”

Concubine Li didn't know whether she was slapped by this slap or Wu Shanggong's words, and said in a dumb voice: "What did you say? What a feud? ”

Wu Shanggong leaned into Concubine Li's ear and said in a low voice: "It was the prince who harmed the Li family." ”

Concubine Li suddenly reached out and grabbed Wu Shanggong's arm, her face suddenly flushed, and the edge of her eyes flashed: "You say it again." ”

Wu Shanggong looked at her eyes and said word by word: "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who harmed the Li family, and it was the prince who sent him to murder His Royal Highness King Xi to blame the Li family." ”

She leaned into Concubine Li's ear and said softly: "The evidence of the Liu family and the Li family that came out later was arranged by the prince, but unfortunately the old man was incompetent and there was no evidence, His Majesty was deceived by His Royal Highness the prince, so he ordered the Li family to be beheaded." ”

Wu Shanggong's voice gradually became sad and indignant: "Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is pleading for the daughters of the Li family in the court, but he wants to step on the Li family and get a good reputation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't intercede early or late, why do you intercede today? just wanted to wait for the Li family to be punished, and Mrs. Li was ...... didn't wait for the holy decree" Before the words fell, Wu Shanggong was already crying bitterly.

Mrs. Li is gone, who will lead the Li family to revive its glory. The rest of the women couldn't survive the hardships of the court at all.

Concubine Li's eyes were straight, panting, I don't know whether she was angry or hateful, her chest rose and fell, which made people look frightened, and her murmuring voice contained an inexplicable obsession: "It's the prince......"

It was the crown prince who harmed the Li family, her father and mother, slaughtered her brothers, and made her sisters slaves to be played.

Chen Shanggong listened to what Wu Shanggong said to Concubine Li, and his heart was inexplicably frightened. It's just that Concubine Li's appearance finally has the motivation to live, and she hurriedly comforted: "Niangniang, it's time to take medicine." ”

Concubine Li was extremely obedient this time, and did not spill like usual, so she took Chen Shanggong's hand and drank all the medicine brought by the palace maid in one gulp.

The medicinal effect is emanated, it has the effect of calming the nerves and thinking clearly, the medicinal taste is extremely bitter, Concubine Li gritted her teeth and endured it, as if she was reborn.

She took Wu Shanggong's hand and said in a low voice: "Yucheng Lady, the hatred of the extermination, fortunately, you mentioned it, otherwise it will only make the relatives and enemies happy, please, help me." Although his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, he finally had a trace of firmness.

Wu Shanggong held Concubine Li's hand: "Niangniang, you take care of your body first, you still have Princess Ping'an, you also have the second son of the emperor, they are all counting on you." ”

Wu Huiru's voice was low: "Let's come to Japan for a long time, don't worry." ”
