Chapter 1 Antecedents
Emperor Wenjing of Daqi was in the third year of the year, late autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sound of the wind has become cold, revealing a chill. The leaves of the trees in the capital have almost turned yellow and fallen, leaving bare branches, stretching towards the gray sky, adding a bit of slaughter.
At this time, the crowd was walking towards the vegetable market at the south gate from all directions, and the discussion was one after another:
"Who was executed today, and why is it so lively?"
"You old man must be from out of town, right? The prisoner who was beheaded today is very famous, the closed disciple of Xu Guzi, the holy hand of a generation of Chinese medicine, and the sister-in-law of the queen's mother today, how about it, is famous enough? ”
At that moment, a few people gasped: "The queen's sister-in-law? Impossible, right? Didn't the queen take into account the feelings of sisters and plead with the emperor? ”
"Why not?" Immediately, an insider said, "This queen mother is virtuous and virtuous, of course, she attaches great importance to this sisterhood, but the new emperor has made up her mind, and the queen mother knelt outside the imperial study with a big belly all night, and it was just to change the punishment of beheading to beheading." ”
"Halved?" As soon as the man finished speaking, the inhalation around him became heavier. What kind of felony warrants capital punishment? Since the founding of the country, Daqi has never used such a heavy punishment as beheading.
"Killing my brother and father and confusing the Sacred Heart, the crime is serious enough, right?" The informed elder said proudly.
The surroundings were immediately silenced, and even the heavy inhalation stopped. For such a felony, it is not too much to be sentenced to 10 halves.
There was a curious one, so he asked immediately: "What the elder is talking about is the Battle of Changxingling that happened in the forty-third year of Emperor Huiren?" ”
Seeing the elder's jaw, the curious person couldn't help but ask: "In that battle, my 100,000 troops were buried in the sea of red flames, Changxingling was razed to the ground, and Nie Shuai's father and son died in battle, but how did I hear that it was Nie Shuai's retribution for collaborating with the enemy and treason?" ”
The elder reprimanded, "What do you know! How could Nie Shuai, who is red-blooded, collaborate with the enemy and commit treason! It was framed by the villain, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, isn't this matter already clear? ”
The man scratched his head, still not understanding: "What does that have to do with this beheaded Miss Nie Qi?" Speaking of him, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you talking about this Seventh Lady..... who has created evil!" ”
"Why not?" The elder shook his head, and also sighed, "Why is there so much hatred between this father and daughter?" ”
Someone immediately interjected: "It should be said, how can there be such a femme fatale woman in this world?" According to me, the queen should not have interceded for her! I also heard that the generation of medical saint Xu Guzi has already severed the master-apprentice relationship with this closed disciple! ”
…….
On the execution ground.
Nie Siyun's sluggish face drooped slightly, her ears were buzzing, there was a lot of noise all around, countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs smashed at her, she was unconscious, and only one voice in her heart was asking herself: "How can this be, is I really going to die?" ”
As if it was yesterday, the third sister ascended to the throne of the crown princess with her great help. Just when she was happily immersed in the beautiful vision that the third sister promised to herself, "let you be the prince's concubine", the prince, oh no, it should be the plum blossom secret guard next to the newly enthroned emperor fell from the sky, not only raided her home, but also threw her into the prison. After a year and a half in prison, the case came to an end, and she was charged with "killing her brother and father and confusing the Sacred Heart", and she was beheaded after the autumn.
She didn't believe it was true, and even thought it was ridiculous. She is a close disciple of the national hand doctor saint Xu Guzi, and she learned that Xu Guzi is the true legend, and her medical skills have reached the pinnacle, and the doctor can save people when life is at stake, or they can kill people invisibly. She can send a person to the west in the blink of an eye, or she can let a person fake his death to escape responsibility, why can't she save her own life?
"Yes, you have been dancing in the capital for many years, why can't you save yourself?" A voice sounded above her head for no apparent reason, familiar and yet unfamiliar.
She saw a pair of plain cloth shoes on the ground in front of her, and above that, there were dark robes, which she remembered were worn by the sisters in the colorless nunnery in the capital. Further up, she saw that familiar face.
"Fifth sister?!" She was surprised, "What are you doing?" Are you here to see my jokes? Although her voice was hoarse, it was still slightly high-pitched, which was the usual tone she used to pinch each other with her fifth sister Nie Siqin for many years.
"Do you regret it?" Nie Siqin said lightly, with sadness in her bitter smile, "The third sister you tried so hard to support, why didn't you ask for love for you?" Also, why didn't your second aunt, who you have always regarded as your mother, come to see you off? ”
She froze.
Yes, in this life, she regarded her as a relative, and tried her best to help the people, including the third sister, including the second aunt, and those in the second room, but none of them came to see her off before she died!
Isn't that a little weird?
"Don't you really understand?" Nie Siqin said lightly again, "With your ability, you won't die here." ”
She vaguely understood.
If the third sister and the second aunt were really good to her, they would not be kept in the dark at the moment she was arrested, and at least they would warn her. With her ability, even if she fakes her death and hides, she can escape alive, so that she will not be escorted to this execution ground, which really humiliates the reputation of her master Xu Guzi, and at the same time insults her own reputation.
"You hate me so much, why did you come to see me off?" She said slowly, since there was no hope of survival, she calmed down, at least, before she died, she finally understood what was going on, so that she would not be a fool when she died.
Her life of pretending to be smart turned out to be a joke. She hated herself for being blind, believing in people who were not human, and falling into a conspiracy to make wedding clothes for others!
In this conspiracy, the person in front of him is the one who is hurt the most. She used means to make the person in front of her lose her most beloved person, and let the crown princess wear the crown on the head of the third sister. And this person actually saw him off before he died!
She thought it was ironic!
Nie Siqin still said lightly: "I hate you, of course I hate you." But I hate myself even more, why can't I stop you, why haven't I fulfilled the responsibility of an eldest sister to love you and protect you? So that you fall into such a situation, I have violated my mother's entrustment, I have no shame to see my mother-in-law, you must be lonely on the way, I have hung a three-foot white silk on the crooked neck tree not far away, and when I collect the body for you, I will cut myself off and accompany you. ”
She smiled bitterly: "Why are you so troubled? ”
At this moment, three drums sounded from the prison room, and then someone shouted: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, the idlers will avoid it, and the execution will be carried out!" ”
The executioner held the torture knife high, and the wide and heavy blade shone in the dazzling midday sun. The knife fell, and a cup of blood splashed on the torture pillar next to it.
The crowd sighed and dispersed, a gust of autumn wind blew, and there was a heavy sadness in the heavy smell of blood.
