Huo Jingrou walked out of the palace, thought about it again and again, and still felt that it was better to go to the East Palace and explain it to his brother.

In the East Palace, Huo Jingcheng was playing chess with a handsome man, and when he saw Huo Jingrou coming, he lowered his head and continued to play chess by himself after just one glance, and said, "Go to your sixth sister-in-law and wait for me." ”

"Brother Huo." The man on the opposite side suddenly spoke up and asked, "Presumably this is Brother Huo's own sister, Princess Roufu, right?" ”

Huo Jingcheng bowed: "Exactly." ”

After hearing this, the man got up and made a dignified gesture at Huo Jingrou: "I have seen the princess in the next place, I have heard the princess's name for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

Huo Jingrou looked at him and asked, "You are not from my Nanqian?" ”

The man smiled brightly: "The princess has good eyesight, and she is a person from Dongjing." ”

Huo Jingcheng didn't seem to want them to talk, so he said loudly: "Jingrou, your sixth sister-in-law misses you, go over quickly." ”

When the man heard this, he was thoughtful. Huo Jingrou had already given a salute and left.

The two continued to play chess, and after Huo Jingcheng fell into a son, he suddenly said: "Brother Shen, if you and I are close friends, we can last a long time, if he asks, I hope this is the last time you and I will see each other." ”

The man opposite was surprised.

……

Here, Huo Jingrou wore flowers and willows all the way to the Wuhua Palace of the crown princess.

When the crown princess saw that she was back, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask questions, and she was constantly concerned. Huo Jingrou answered with a light smile, and finally the two sat at the table, drinking tea and chatting.

The crown princess said: "Sister Rou has just come back from a tiring journey, she must be tired, but since she has already come, let's wait here." ”

"Sixth sister-in-law, what kind of guest is the sixth brother accompanying? How come I have never seen or heard of it? And he is still a person from Dongjing. Huo Jingrou asked.

The crown princess smiled: "Sister Rou doesn't know, that guest is still a distinguished guest, he only arrived yesterday, even if you want to break your head, you can't guess his identity." ”

Huo Jingrou was even more curious: "Sixth sister-in-law, don't sell Guanzi, who is he?" ”

The crown princess said with a smile: "He, it is the seventh prince of Dongjing, King Li, this King Li came to visit our Nanqian three years ago, and it happened that he didn't know your sixth brother. He heard that his mother concubine drove back to Yaochi, and he was afraid that your sixth brother would be too sad, so he came all the way to our Nanqian to visit your sixth brother again, and he also had a heart. ”

Huo Jingrou was surprised: "Shen Linfeng, King of Dongjing Li? ”

The crown princess nodded: "It's him." ”

Huo Jingrou sighed: "Sixth brother still has such a close friend? ”

The crown princess smiled: "Your sixth brother has made friends all over the world, and he has many close friends, why can't he be a person from Dongjing?" ”

Huo Jingju: "Yes." Man, life is so rich, there are countries, power, beauties, and best friends. But we women can only take our husbands as the sky, and sometimes, we can't ask for such a person. After speaking, she realized that she had sighed too much, and her words revealed her thoughts, so she sloppy: "Okay, okay, sixth sister-in-law, let's not talk about this." ”

The crown princess smiled and said nothing.

The two waited for a long time, but they didn't see Huo Jingcheng coming. Huo Jingrou couldn't wait any longer, so she got up and said goodbye, saying that she would come back at another day.

Who knew that as soon as she left, Huo Jingcheng came back.

The crown princess stepped forward and saluted and said, "Your Highness, Sister Rou just left, it's really unfortunate." ”

"It's better to go, so as not to worry some people." Huo Jingcheng said this, and sat on the cushion and was distracted.

The crown princess didn't know what she meant, sat down opposite him, and said, "What does Your Highness say this?" The concubine body didn't understand. ”

Huo Jingcheng said unhurriedly: "Shen Linfeng intends to marry Jing Rou, since Jing Rou left hehe, he often mentioned love in his letters, but the palace politely refused. Who knew that this time, the mother concubine passed away, and Shen Linfeng came in person, and his drunkard's intention was not to drink. ”

The crown princess was surprised: "Your Highness is saying that King Li loves Sister Rou?" ”

Huo Jingcheng glanced at her and said lightly: "It's not necessarily admiration." For Shen Linfeng, it is naturally good to make friends with the prince of the main palace, but if he climbs to my princess Nanqianyan, it will be the icing on the cake, which will be of great help to his future. And the main hall, firstly, does not want Rou to marry far away, and secondly, Jing Rou has already suffered this injury from Jia Shuyan, and the main hall is unwilling to let her suffer a second time. This temple hopes that if she remarries, it can only be married by a husband who truly loves her, and nothing else. ”

The crown princess said: "I see. It's just that no matter how well His Highness thinks about it, it doesn't necessarily mean that way. Rou Mei is already obsessed with Qiao Shangshu, and if she continues like this, it will not be good for her. ”

Huo Jingcheng glanced at her: "You really can't open any pot." Whether it is Shen Linfeng or Qiao Fengzhi, in short, this palace will never want to marry Rouyuan. Stay close, even if you are fighting, it is still under your nose. ”

"Your Highness really loves Roumei." What else can the crown princess say? That's all I can say.

Huo Jingcheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "See Xian, there is a woman outside the main hall, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Jianxian, the crown princess's name is also.

When the crown princess heard this, she was deeply surprised: "Your Highness, which girl is it?" When did you pick it up? ”

Huo Jingcheng said calmly: "When he went out to North Vietnam, the descending monarch Xiahou Bo committed suicide, and his wife followed the main hall. So he took it all the way to Nanqian and placed it in another courtyard. ”

The crown princess was stunned for a long time before she said excitedly: "Your Highness! You! Why do you want a widow? Or is it the widow of the king? Is there no innocent woman in this Nangan? If you do this, it will be bad for your reputation! ”

Seeing her look like this, Huo Jingcheng couldn't help but smile: "Okay, the raw rice has been cooked, what can I do?" It's just that at the beginning, the palace didn't bring you with me during the Northern Expedition, otherwise there would be no business for her. ”

The meaning of this statement is that she is not there, he is lonely, so he is hungry. The crown princess's face slowed down when she heard this, but she still said with a pretty face: "Then what does His Royal Highness mean by telling the concubine now?" ”

Huo Jingcheng smiled at her and hooked his hand: "See Xian, come here." ”

The crown princess glanced at him, but still obediently got up and sat down beside him, he grabbed her waist and whispered in his ear.

……

The next day was the day when Xiahou Feng's family was beheaded.

At noon, Xiahou Feng's family was escorted to the execution ground, and Qiao Fengzhi was already wearing official uniforms and sitting on the beheading platform waiting. The order of the Emperor is not to be beheaded, but to be beheaded personally!

The three plain white figures were escorted to the torture platform and knelt on the ground, the three of them looked numb, without any waves, and their demeanor was frank and open, without the slightest fear. It wasn't until a few people caught a glimpse of Qiao Fengzhi on the prison beheading platform that their faces made waves. Several people stared at him eagerly, stunned.

"My lord! Madam! A woman's eager screams were heard from the crowd.

The couple followed the sound and looked into the crowd of onlookers, and found a compassionate face in the crowd, which was Yao Duran.

"Twilight! Go back! Madame Xiahou finally cried out hoarsely.

Yao Duran knelt down in front of them, and said with tears in her eyes: "The grace of serving the moon, grinding your teeth is unforgettable, Twilight is here to see you-"

"Twilight! Obedient - go back! Go back quickly—" Madame Xiahou sobbed silently.

Qiao Fengzhi looked at it, his handsome face suddenly turned blue, and his heart was suffocating, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Come on!" Escort Mrs. Joe back! ”

The soldier took the order, walked towards Yao Duran, and escorted her to evacuate.

"Nope! Bong! No! I'm not going! Husband! Don't drive me away! Yao Duran cried and struggled, and her demeanor was unprecedentedly spicy. Several soldiers didn't dare to hurt her, and looked at Qiao Fengzhi with an embarrassed face. Qiao Fengzhi said sharply: "Hold it down!" ”

At this moment, Yao Duran couldn't resist even if he had eighteen kinds of martial arts, and was quickly escorted away by them.

But Xiahou Feng, who was on the execution ground, suddenly laughed loudly: "Haha-I, Xiahou Feng, have no regrets in this life!" No regrets! My son walked with us for a ride, which was enough! ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Xiahou cried and laughed: "Haha-what the husband said is right, haha-even if we die, we will die with laughter!" ”

Xiahou Jue said: "Father and mother are not afraid! Our family of three is inseparable from life and death! ”

Qiao Fengzhi's eyes were gloomy, and the hands in his sleeves were always trembling, unable to stop, uncontrollable.

As the minutes passed, the couple on the torture table kept smiling.

In that laughter, Qiao Fengzhi only felt that his heart was like a stone, overwhelmed, and he sat there in a daze, not knowing where to go.

"Lord Shangshu, it's noon." The accompanying prison officials reminded loudly.

Qiao Fengzhi came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, and said in a difficult tone: "It's noon!" Identify the prisoner! ”

In the end, the executioner presented the machete, Qiao Fengzhi took it with a trembling hand, and walked up to the execution table step by step with the knife and stopped in front of the couple.

Unexpectedly, the couple's laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Bong! You! Do you want to cut it yourself? Xiahou Feng's face changed drastically.

Qiao Fengzhi closed his eyes lightly for a moment, then opened his eyes and nodded to them.

"Nope! Absolutely not! Xiahou Feng suddenly faded from his steadiness and calmness, and his expression became flustered.

Qiao Feng's heart was sad and speechless.

"Master Qiao, noon has arrived, don't delay. You don't have to listen to the nonsense of these condemned prisoners, they are just stalling for time. The soldier beside him reminded.

Qiao Fengzhi said in a difficult tone: "My lord, madam, Prince Xiahou, go all the way." ”

Mrs. Xiahou said heartbreakingly: "No! Bong! No, no! You can't kill us! ”

Xiahou Feng said: "Fengzhi! Why did Your Majesty send you to behead you?! No! ”

Qiao Fengzhi said: "My lord, madam, I know that you are afraid that my guilt will increase and you will be uneasy, but the king's order is difficult to disobey, I hope you will forgive me." As he spoke, he slowly raised the knife in his hand, and the blade flashed with a cold light, which was terrifying.

With a "poof", the executioner squirted a large sip of wine on the knife, and the smell of wine suddenly spread, and Qiao Fengzhi was dizzy as if he was drunk.

He couldn't hear what the couple were shouting, and he couldn't understand why the person they were going to die with brazen suddenly resisted violently, in short, in the midst of the uproar, in the resistance, in his confusion, in the soldier's successive urging and reminders, the heavy knife in his hand still fell down one after another. Three knives, falling heavily, the knife was in the middle, killing with one blow, there was no room for death.

In an instant, there was a dead silence in front of me. The bright red stinging made him unable to open his eyes.
