Chapter 157: No Regrets for the King (1)
Who knew that the palace was full of wind and rain, and the disaster of Yurong on the front foot to kill the dragon body had just set off a storm, and Concubine De on the back foot was given to commit suicide because of the interception and killing of the herald, and even dragged King Hao to lose the power of supervising the country. The world is impermanent, and the flip is extremely fast, a while ago, the mother and son were still in the limelight, but who knew that it was just a flash in the pan, and in the blink of an eye, they had fallen into the quagmire.
This palace disaster happened unexpectedly, but behind it, there is a sentence, a companion is like a tiger.
β¦β¦
On the execution ground, Yurong was fixed under Sen Sen's hanging guillotine, and she knew exactly what kind of torture she was about to endure. A person will not die instantly, but will clearly feel the body split in two, feel the blood spread, and feel the severe pain until the blood is exhausted, or die of pain.
Yurong did not fear anymore, did not tremble anymore, and did not struggle again, but lay quietly on his back facing the sky, staring at the clear sky and clouds in front of him with a pair of hopeless eyes. A group of geese swept by, clothed in the sun, bathed in the spring breeze, and went to the place they wanted to go together.
And she has been here for half her life, and the only place she wants to go is in his arms. But after all, it came to nothing, and he went to hell for him.
"Executionβ"
The heavy crank fell hard, and with a heart-rending scream, it suddenly startled the birds overhead, and they lost their direction, scattered the group, lost their companions, flapped their wings indiscriminately, and did not know where they flew......
Half an hour later, a voice sounded outside the execution ground: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has arrived-"
When the supervisor heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Huo Jingxiao got off the horse and said as he walked towards the torture platform: "The criminal maid Yurong plotted to kill the dragon body, and the main hall came to personally inspect the punishment fruit. β
The warden said, "What His Highness said is true. It's just that this Yurong's bones are very hard, and it has been half an hour since she was cut off, and she didn't breathe for a long time, so Xia Guan had to wait here all the time, waiting for her to breathe before resuming her life. β
Huo Jingxiao stopped talking, and came all the way to the side of the torture platform, and as far as the eye could see, it was all dazzling bright red. His footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked up to the execution platform step by step and stopped in front of Yurong. Perhaps more accurately, it stayed in front of the upper half of Yurong's body.
The sight is horrible, shocking! There was a thick smell of blood in the air.
The supervisor followed and frowned, "Your Highness, you see, they all say that they are cheap and hard-boned, and they really say that this jade face is really good!" It's been half an hour, she still hasn't breathed, the upper half of her body is rolling around in pain, and she is so far away from the lower half of her body, she finally has no strength at this time, and she doesn't move when she lies here, but she still doesn't swallow her breath! β
Huo Jingxiaojun's face was cold, and he blurted out: "Can you say a few words?" Get lost!!! The main hall has eyes and can see by itself!! β
Seeing that he was inexplicably angry, the prison officer shrank in his heart, and hurriedly flattered him a few words, and got off the execution table in a panic.
The surroundings were quiet, Yurong lay on his stomach for a long time, saving up some strength, this would seem to know what he was waiting for, so he raised his head with difficulty and moved his gaze up little by little. The picture in front of me is imprinted inch by inch, gold python soap boots with black satin on a white background, purple hem, jade-inlaid belt around the waist, a neck like white jade, and finally, a handsome face, with sharp sword eyebrows, narrow phoenix eyes, a carved nose, tight lips, and a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, gathering all kinds of customs in the world.
"Temple...... Your Highness ......," she muttered, and then reached out with great difficulty, trying to grasp the hem of his clothes. However, he was only halfway through and was unable to hang down.
The sharp pain and weakness made her lower her hand and head again, she slowed down for a while, continued her movements, and looked up at him little by little. Then he reached out and tried to grab him......
Huo Jingxiao was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, and finally squatted down slowly, stretched out a slightly trembling hand and touched her lips. His movements were gentle and slow, rubbing his fingertips against her blood-stained lips little by little, and then, in a very soft voice, he said, "This is the only mouth that the main hall has ever kissed." β
Yurong listened, and her dead eyes were instantly lit up by spring light, and they were full of brilliance. She smiled beautifully at him, then hung her head, silent again. It seems that I have finally looked forward to what I have hoped, and my heart is at ease, and I can swallow my breath and stare at it.
Huo Jingxiao saw that she was silent anymore, and the finger on her lips slowly moved to her cheek, gently stroking it, and feeling the last touch of temperature before the cold came. For a moment, he closed his eyes slightly, hiding everything in them. When I opened my eyes again, everything was back to normal. He got up slowly and said, "The main hall has sniffed, and the sin maid Yurong is dead." β
When the warden heard this, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and now he could leave this hellish place and make a business earlier. Immediately shouted: "Come on, come on!" Throw the corpse into a mass grave! Hands and feet are sharper! Cleaned up the bloodstains! β
The officers and soldiers went to the execution platform. Huo Jingxiao turned around and walked down step by step. Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind him: "Oops! When this slut was dying and struggling, he even wrote a few blood words on the ground! β
When Huo Jingxiao heard this, he immediately turned around and went back, only to see that the three officers and soldiers had already removed Yurong's body, and where she had just been lying down, there were eight bright red blood characters!
No fear for you, no regrets for you.
Several officers and soldiers also saw the blood on the ground and immediately began to discuss.
"Oops! This...... Who does the word 'Jun' refer to? It seems that this jade face is beautiful, and romantic affairs are inevitable. β
"The only one who can be called 'Jun' is naturally ...... Your Majesty." But before he finished the last three words, he was interrupted: "A gentleman is also a 'gentleman'!" Ok ok! What to discuss with a dead man? It's not too bad to be lucky! Hurry up and drag it up! The person who spoke spoke in a slightly heavy tone, interrupted them in time, and at the same time, signaled to them with his eyes, His Royal Highness King Cheng is still there, don't be open!
The two officers and soldiers reacted instantly, and immediately shrank in fright, and dragged Yurong's two corpses away in panic.
No fear for you, no regrets for you.
Huo Jingxiao stared at the eight crooked but clear blood characters for a long time, and suddenly, a gentle call seemed to cross the mountains and rivers, separated by years, from the distant sky.
"Your Highness? Your Highness? Where are you? β
"Your Highness? Come out and don't hide! The lady lady is already deflated! Come out and go back to the palace with the slave and maid! β
In the hazy moonlit night, the shadows of the trees are mottled. A twelve or thirteen-year-old maid was slowly shuttling through the grove with a lantern and shouting.
At this moment, a boy's voice came from a corner of the woods, immature but stubborn.
"Yurong! You lied to me! My mother said she would never forgive me again! I knew she was pregnant with a new child, and she didn't like me anymore! β
"Your Highness, you are really a little fool, do you believe what the lady lady is angry about? Don't hide, come out quickly, the slave's lanterns are about to burn out! β
There was no response in the dim grove, and there was silence. Suddenly, the lantern went out, and the last faint candlelight faded, and the grove became pitch black. Immediately afterwards, Yurong's exclamation came: "Oops! Something bit me! It hurts me! Woo-woo-"
"Yurong! What happened to you! Huo Jingxiao, who was only eleven years old, finally got anxious, ran out of his hiding place, and ran over following Yurong's cry.
"Your Highness, I'm in so much pain! Woo-woo-"
"Yurong! Don't cry, I'm coming! I'll carry you back! β
The crying was getting closer and closer, and Huo Jingxiao finally saw Yurong sitting on the ground crying, and his steps were faster. As soon as he ran to her side, he suddenly spun around, and when he reacted, he had been pressed under her.
"Your Highness, have you been fooled? I finally tricked you out! Now look where you're going! β
"Yurong! You big liar! β
Huo Jingxiao was naturally annoyed when he was fooled, so he pushed her hard, and Yurong was not to be outdone, and suppressed him hard.
"Your Highness, please don't move, go back with me!"
"I'm not going back! The mother said she didn't forgive me! Now you're lying to me, too! You let go of me! Don't think I can't push you away when you're a year older than me! β
The two of them pushed and shoved me between the soft weeds. In the midst of the struggle, something seemed to be gradually wrong. The two were very close, their bodies were intimately entangled and grinding together, in the dimness, thin gasps were intertwined, and a girl's unique fragrance lingered between the two, and the atmosphere became weird!
Huo Jingxiao felt that he was hot, and said awkwardly: "You...... You let go of me, I won't run away! β
Yurong gasped: "You really don't run?" β
"Don't run! I'll go back with you! You get up right now! Don't hold me down anymore! β
"Okay, it's good if you're obedient, I'm tired to death, your brute force is really great."
Who knew that as soon as Yurong left him, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran.
Yurong was so anxious that he shouted: "Your Highness! How do you talk without counting? You're a man! β
Huo Jingxiao said as he ran: "Why don't I count?" I just promised you not to run anywhere else, but I didn't say that I wouldn't run to the palace! β
When Yurong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was willing to return to the palace. It's just that she suffers herself, and she wants to go back alone. Thinking about it, she shouted while chasing: "Your Highness, you wait for me!" I came out looking for you! Now that you have left me, am I not afraid? β
Huo Jingxiao ran out of breath, and didn't look back: "I'm afraid!" You're like a monster, making me uncomfortable and awkward! I don't want to go back with you! β
β¦β¦
"Your Highness, the lady concubine has already left, please cheer up your highness as soon as possible, okay? Now that the Shunhua Palace has been sealed, the slaves and maids will also be sent to serve in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, and they will no longer be able to take care of His Royal Highness in the future. β
"Yurong, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, even the mother concubine will leave me, let alone you."
"Nope! Your Highness! The slave will not leave His Highness! The lady concubine has a great kindness to the slave maid, and even if the slave maid goes elsewhere, her heart is towards His Royal Highness! The slave will always guard His Highness! β
This is seven years.
β¦β¦
"Your Highness, today is your eighteenth birthday, and the slave maid specially made an inventory for you."
It was still in the remote woods north of Shunhua Palace, and the two of them sat on the low and thick trunks, starry in the sky, spending the loneliest birthday of a prince.
