Chapter 702: Beheading
The person next to him stretched his neck to look, nodded in surprise, couldn't control the expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Sensei said, it's true!" I had the pleasure of seeing this woman once, and I could recognize her even if she turned to ashes! Today is the day of the Luo family's beheading, what is she doing here? β
Rumors say that she has some contradictions with the Luo family, is she here today to see the Luo family's jokes?
The supervisor carefully looked at the direction of her gaze and the look on her face, as if he had discovered something terrible, showed a sly smile, and said to others in a low voice: "Do you think she looks like she is looking at Luo Qing?" β
Others looked over and said in astonishment: "She is really looking at Luo Qing!" It is rumored that she has been on a blind date with Luo Qing, and they have affection for each other, today Luo Qing beheaded, should she be a ......"
The warden pointed to the others, looking "you guessed it".
While they were thinking wildly, the eunuch's sharp voice pierced their ears and shouted: "The emperor has arrived, and the idlers are hiding!" β
The faces of the warden and the people beside him changed, and they hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet them.
It's interesting, what day is it? Even His Majesty is here?
Luo Qin, who was kneeling on the torture platform, raised her head suddenly, and looked in the direction of the emperor's dragon in shock, her cold heart began to get excited and jump little by little, and those hopes that she had no longer had began to spread wildly in the bottom of her heart.
"I knew it, I knew it! Brother Emperor, you won't just leave me like this, will you? You're here to save me, aren't you? Brother Emperor! β
Luo Qin's eyes widened excitedly, the corners of his eyes almost cracked, and he shouted at the top of his throat.
However, all she attracted were those sympathetic, disgusted, and mocking glances, except for the emperor's brother who she had in mind.
Xiao Changting was supported by Shen Wuyan to get down from the dragon and sit on the noble platform looking down on all beings, his gaze swept over Luo Qin and did not stop for even a moment.
Suddenly, he sighed, his eyes stared at Luo Qing, whose pupils were clean and pure, and said, "It's a pity, such a wizard of governing the country." Alas, a filial child......"
The supervisor secretly looked back in shock, but he hurriedly looked away from him at a glance and asked, "Your Majesty feels sorry for him?" β
"Naturally, this person who has loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, wisdom, etiquette, and faith, how can I not feel distressed, how can I not be pity? That's it...... Life has its own choices, and since persuasion is useless, he insists on staying with his relatives, and I can only respect his choice. β
"Hmm."
The warden's heart was pounding, as if something was slowly awakening, and the cold blood seemed to be ignited, and it was burning.
It was a cold September, but as October approached, his body was hot.
Not only him, but also other people who heard these words were all enthusiastic, and those who thought they were incapable looked at Luo Qing with jealousy, and in this jealousy, there was a strong envy.
If Your Majesty can do this, I am afraid that this world is also unique.
"The hour has come, execution!"
The warden glanced at the time, calmed his thumping heart, and raised his voice.
The executioner looked numbly at the person who had already been lying on his stomach, and his ears were filled with the sound of the other people of the Luo family crying, and the knife fell in his hand, and the blood stained the torture table.
Xin Muyuan and Xiao Changting closed their eyes at the same time, and sighed, as if something important in their hearts had been cut off.
After a long time, Xin Muyuan opened his eyes, and at this time, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, and there was only cursing to Xiao Changting in his ears, saying that he was inconsistent, saying that he was hypocritical, saying that he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and said that he was distressed, but he still watched the executioner cut off the general who killed the enemy for him.
Xin Muyuan also sighed, but this sigh was not because of the boring remarks made by those people because of jealousy, but because Luo Qing did not regret it until the last moment.
Even, Xin Muyuan saw a relieved and relaxed smile on Luo Qing's face in a sweep.
"Is dignity and accountability really that important?"
Xin Muyuan already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it. Because she admits it, it means that she has to admit that Luo Qing has abandoned the country he loves deeply, abandoned his ambitions and ideals, and abandoned all the oaths he has made.
Although, even if she didn't admit it, Luo Qing still did it......
"What are you thinking?" Suddenly, a warm thin cloak was placed on her body, Xin Muyuan looked back and saw Xie Zhan holding her shoulders, looking at her with caring eyes.
This worry was real, as warm as the sun, shining into Xin Muyuan's heart, warming her cold body.
She leaned her head on Xie Zhan's chest, showed a shallow smile, and murmured: "I just remembered that when the three of us entered the prison three days ago, Luo Qing was covered with scars at that time, but Luo Cheng still kept killing him, and it really looked like he was going to kill him." β
Xie Zhan followed her memories and said, "But he didn't give up." β
His words amused Xin Muyuan, covered his mouth and smiled: "This is going to be killed, Luo Cheng will regret it for the rest of his life!" Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Luo Cheng covets the throne, and he has not forgotten that he is a father with two children, even if he is in prison, he is thinking about how to let Luo Qing live. β
Xin Muyuan thought to himself, when Luo Cheng beat Luo Qing, his heart must have hurt more than Luo Qing's body.
He beat Luo Qing and said cruel words, all in order to let Luo Qing cut off relations with him and make Luo Qing hate him, so that he could leave this deep dungeon without worry.
He knew too well the psychology of his righteous son, but he also underestimated the deep love that his righteous son had in his heart.
"Don't think about it, this may be the best ending for him." Xie Zhan's back stiffened slightly, kissed Xin Muyuan's cheek, and said softly.
"Hmm." Xin Muyuan's gaze softened, and his heart was warm and stable.
I don't know when Xie Zhan has become the sunshine in her heart, shining on her and warming her all the time.
Suddenly! There was a scream behind him.
Panic, helplessness, and blade to blade.
"Protect the Emperorβ"
The soldier's hoarse voice pierced the sky, Xin Muyuan's heart trembled violently, and he turned back at the same time as Xie Zhan.
Behind them, it became a battlefield when they weren't looking.
The masked assassin stabbed Xiao Changting with a cold blade, the knife was deadly, and each sword went to the point.
These killers are trained, fast, accurate, and ruthless, and they are not at the same level as those who assassinated Xin Muyuan!
The people brought by Xiao Changting are retreating one after another, and even the soldiers who maintain order on the scene have no victory at all!
At this moment, a man dressed in dark blue with a royal blue jade bead chain around his waist flew out of the crowd, and the long sword in his hand was aimed directly at Xiao Changting's chest!
