Chapter 82: The Death of Jade Xuanji
"For the sake of my own selfishness, I exhausted my parents to death, and I should have died a long time ago." I burst into tears, and my heart ached uncontrollably. The child in my belly also churned uneasily with my love. "Shenglan," Zhou Sinian hugged me and said, "Let's take a look forward, before your parents died, they both hoped that you would live well." β
I looked up at him with teary eyes, he nodded, and said, "You hold on, wait for me to come back, you can rest assured, you will be fine, you will be fine." He helped me up and asked, "Who do you want to keep with you now?" Qiu Zege? β
I shook my head and said, "Hui'er." He looked at me in surprise, didn't say anything, just helped me lie down, and opened the jade bracelet he had been carrying on his wrist, this bracelet was made of gold and jade, I used to think why the lustrous jade should match gold, but it turned out to be a box. He took out a black pill the size of a grain of rice from it, exuding a faint floral fragrance. Put it in a teacup, pour a glass of water, and hand it to me: "Drink it, get some sleep, and I'll be back." β
I saw that the water in the teacup was colorless and transparent, and the pill was completely lost after entering the water, and the floral fragrance was elegant, and I felt a lot calmer just by smelling the breath. Asked: "Is this the incense pill?" He nodded. I drank it and felt more at ease, and he went to call Hui'er in. I smiled at him: "Don't worry, I'm not alone now, and if someone wants to kill me, I still have to think about saving my life." He also smiled: "I know, with me, you don't have to worry about anything." β
What happened next, years later, is still fresh in our minds. On the day Zhou Sinian entered the palace, the guards at the door made an exception and did not put away Zhou Sinian's sword. In the Daimyo Palace, there was only Li Chaozong, and even Gonggong Xia, who usually followed him like a shadow, was nowhere to be seen. Li Chaozong sat on the top of the main hall and looked at Zhou Sinian who walked in with a sword. In front of him, there was also a sword, the sword of the Son of Heaven.
Zhou Sinian knelt down at His Royal Highness from afar, reported the life experience of Yu Xuanji, and the crime of poisoning the emperor, especially mentioning that the emperor died of erysipelas, and asked the emperor to stay away from this ill-intentioned person.
After listening to Zhou Sinian calmly, Li Chaozong walked down the steps and helped Zhou Sinian up, with tears in his eyes: "Si Nian, you finally came to report this matter to me, I have never missed you."
Go back and sue SΓΉ Shenglan, the past is over, so let's think about it behind closed doors at home.
I know that you value love and righteousness, and you are not the kind of person who is cold, and it is difficult for you to supervise the jade mysteries. However, if you don't do this, you won't be able to stop thinking about the little people, and there will be such people who will find you. β
Li Chaozong knew everything, the empire's powerful intelligence network was pervasive, and everyone had no secrets.
Zhou Sinian's choice, only later learned that his fate was hanging by a thread, Li Chaozong was about to lose patience and act, if Zhou Sinian entered the palace this time and still refused to tell the truth, as the person who posed the greatest threat to the imperial power and the empire, behind the wall of the palace, there was already an ambush waiting for him. Li Chaozong allowed him to enter the palace with a sword, but he just wanted Zhou Sinian to die with dignity, and use the sword of the Son of Heaven as the best ending for the love of his life.
And after he dies, those who follow him will die.
The subjects of Sun City only know that they are loyal to Zhou Sinian, but they do not know that they are loyal to the emperor, and they are like a country within a country. Zhou Sinian handed over the army and the business, but he couldn't hand over the hearts of the people. They are all the descendants of outcasts and pirates, they are sincere, and the people are fierce, if they know that the city lord is dead, they must not give up, and rebellion means repression, plus those undercurrents that are ready to move, I don't know what will happen, what kind of chaos will be.
And the pardon for me is Li Chaozong's reward for Zhou Sinian's loyalty, as well as his understanding and forgiveness for his hesitation. With his words, everything can disappear and become a thing of the past forever.
The autumn wind swept up the fallen leaves, and the earth and the sky seemed to be all covered with haze. Jade Xuanji, who has been entangled with us for several years, finally embarked on the road of no return on this day.
Li Chaozong issued an order to publicly execute Yu Xuanji in Lingchi, and Zhou Sinian was beheaded. On that day, the people who went to watch the execution blocked all the roads that could lead to the execution ground, and in Zhou Sinian's words, they never thought that so many people lived in the capital. The jade mystery of the fairy wind bone, calmly accepted Zhou Sinian's deep snort. Looking at each other, two choices, one is in self-expression.
After the death of Yu Zhenren, the body was hung outside the gate of the capital, and Da Gaoguan once asked to be brought back for burial, but Li Chaozong refused. However, after a night when the north wind called, the body of Yu Zhenren was still taken away. Li Chaozong issued a secret decree to the Dragon Guard, and the whole country searched for people who had something to do with Yu Xuanji.
That winter, the snow fell very heavily and early. Since Zhou Sinian came back from prison, the cold poison began to attack, he was afraid of cold, his whole body was sore, his usually warm palms had become cold, and his face and lips were pale and blue. We moved to Bancheng Villa, which was much warmer than in the house. It is also convenient for Zhou Sinian to soak in hot springs and practice to drive away cold and poison.
On this day, he had eaten the warm soup, turned the stove on the fire again, and just felt better, Mu Yan flew over. Since moving to Bancheng Villa, the house has come to report, Mu Yanfei is gone, Zhou Sinian is not in good spirits, too lazy to look for it, who knows, she is back today. As soon as Mu Yanfei came in, she was taken aback, she was wearing a bearded suit, and her hair was all tied up in her hat.
She came to beg Zhou Sinian to return the deed of sale that year, and went down to the court to beg to go. Zhou Sinian said: "When I entered the house, I said that I could leave at any time, you don't have to worry about the deed, but the current situation, after you go out, how long can you live?" Mu Yanfei said contemptuously: "I would rather die than commit myself to those who are greedy for life and afraid of death." β
Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, these four words Zhou don't dare to be." Mu Yanfei said sadly and indignantly: "The courtiers worked hard for the Lord, but they didn't expect to be betrayed by the Lord, watching the loyal ministers being cut by a thousand knives, and they didn't even dare to ask for the corpse back, it's not greedy for life and afraid of death, what is it?" β
Zhou Sinian said: "The past is over, where is there any loyal minister of the lord, you go against the sky, and you will do perverse actions at the expense of your lives, but I Zhou Sinian is not a puppet at the mercy of others." You're leaving, please. Out of this door, don't say that you are the Zhou family. Mu Yanfei said coldly: "I am not the Zhou family, I am the Zhu family." β
I heard her mention the Zhu family and asked, "Did Yu Xuanji ask you to come to the Zhou Mansion?" Mu Yanfei's face showed a look of grief: "So what? Isn't it? He was left with only a remnant of his body. β
I looked at her sad appearance, knowing that she was sad about the tragic death of Yuxuanji, thinking of the past, I couldn't help but feel sour, but Zhou Sinian was on the side, and I didn't dare to show my feelings, so I had to persuade softly: "It's freezing outside, and the dragon guards are arresting you again, you don't want to be a concubine, just treat it as a friend, and it's not too late to live until the wind is not tight and then leave." β
