Chapter Eighty-Three: The Last Side
Hearing Concubine Li's words, the general of the protector frowned, the deputy general who followed him to kill countless enemies was about to be beheaded, how could he not feel distressed, but if he pleaded with the emperor, I was afraid that the entire general's palace would be implicated.
On the surface, the emperor relies on his own power in the court, but if he shows the psychology of not paying at all, the brutal emperor will expose his true nature and get rid of the entire general's mansion quickly.
The general of the protector of the country can't take this risk, presumably Wu Chengchan knows about it, and he will oppose them to save himself.
Seeing that her father was sad and her face was sad, Concubine Li tentatively opened her mouth and asked her father to intercede with the emperor.
It is conceivable that it was rejected, and the general of the protector was very resolute and did not give Concubine Li any hope.
Concubine Li's walking corpse walked out of the Protector General's Mansion, and her last hope was dashed, and she didn't know what to do.
"Are all the people in the acrobatic troupe? That's great! Coming out of Concubine Li's mother, Qin Kexin returned to Longying Hall and continued to wait for the news that Xiao Shujun brought back the acrobatic troupe.
"This fire didn't cause a big disaster, and I personally went out to ask the emperor, of course they were released." Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin's adoring eyes and was triumphant.
"By the way, how is Concubine Li?" When Xiao Shujun knew that he was not there, Qin Kexin went to Concubine Li's dormitory.
Qin Kexin told Xiao Shujun that he suggested that Concubine Li go to the general to intercede, originally thought that Xiao Shujun would praise himself for being smart, but he didn't expect Xiao Shujun's expression to become solemn again.
"The general protector will definitely not agree to Concubine Li's request."
Qin Kexin looked at Xiao Shujun in confusion and said, "Why?" The protector general can't bear to watch his lieutenant die in vain, right? ”
"To be precise, I don't dare to save, it's not that I don't want to save. If the Protector General intercedes for Wu Chengchan, the emperor is afraid that he will misunderstand the Protector General's family and join forces to insult the emperor, and then I am afraid that the entire Protector General's Mansion will be difficult to protect itself. ”
After listening to Xiao Shujun's words, Qin Kexin suddenly realized. blamed himself for not knowing much about the court dispute, so he suggested that Concubine Li go to her father to intercede.
"Oh no......" Qin Kexin suddenly thought that at this hour, Concubine Li was afraid that she had already returned from the General's Mansion. Concubine Li, who is all about it, won't do anything stupid.
Without waiting for Xiao Shujun to ask him what happened, Qin Kexin quickly ran towards Concubine Li's bedroom.
Sure enough, when I arrived at Concubine Li's bedroom, I was guarding outside in the name of Concubine Li, and only Concubine Liniang was resting alone in the house. Qin Kexin felt bad, so she pushed open the door directly and went in, and found that Concubine Li had already hanged herself.
Keran was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, and Qin Kexin rushed up with a brisk step and hugged Concubine Li Niangniang. Fortunately, Qin Kexin came in time, and Concubine Li still had a breath, but she was just in a coma at the moment.
Everyone hurriedly placed Concubine Li on the bed, in order not to alarm the emperor, they did not call the imperial doctor over, but Qin Kexin went to Xiao Shujun to bring medicine for Concubine Li.
"Concubine Li's mother has been depressed recently, you have to stay by Niangniang's side every step of the way." Looking at the frightened Ke Ran, Qin Kexin couldn't bear to blame, but just blessed her to avoid similar things from happening again.
Ke Ran nodded hurriedly, promising to take a close look at Concubine Li.
Qin Kexin kept watch by Concubine Li's bedside all night.
The next morning, Concubine Li finally woke up, and Qin Kexin breathed a long sigh of relief.
But Concubine Li, who woke up, found that she was still awake, and kept blaming Qin Kexin for why she wanted to save herself.
"Niangniang, General Wu took on everything in order to save Niangniang alone, just to let Niangniang live well. Niangniang can't live up to General Wu. Qin Kexin could only use Wu Chengchan to comfort Concubine Li at the moment.
"Why should it not be me who was beheaded? It's all me who has caused General Wu. "Concubine Li is full of helplessness and self-blame.
Tomorrow is the day when Wu Chengchan is beheaded, and I am afraid that everyone will not be able to return to the sky.
"Niangniang, let's go see General Wu one last time." Although Qin Kexin was also extremely unbearable, perhaps only by seeing General Wu could Concubine Li have the courage to continue to live.
Hearing that it was the last side, Concubine Li couldn't bear to close her eyes, and despair swept through her body.
It is definitely not feasible to blatantly beg the emperor to let Concubine Li see Wu Chengchan for the last time. Qin Kexin begged Xiao Shujun to quietly replace the person who went to practice for Wu Chengchan with Concubine Li.
Seeing Concubine Li come to the prison to see herself, Wu Chengchan was very excited.
Before dying, he saw his beloved and died without regrets.
"General, I'm sorry, I'm the one who caused you."
"I was involved by you of my own volition." As he spoke, his hand was attached to Concubine Li's cheek. This is an action that he didn't dare to do before, but he imagined it countless times in his heart.
"If I knew it would be like this, I shouldn't have asked you to come and meet me for my own selfish desires." Concubine Li burst into tears.
Wu Chengchan wiped away Concubine Li's tears, so gentle that she didn't look like a battle-hardened general.
"I want to see you too, but I don't have a chance. I've seen it more than once now, and I've died without regrets. Wu Chengchan finally dared to express his feelings for Concubine Li, because he was afraid that if he didn't express it again, he would have no chance in the future.
Concubine Li looked at Wu Chengchan in a daze, and General Wu, who was talking and laughing and teaching himself to dance the sword, was back.
"I didn't have the courage to see you before you entered the palace. It's the biggest regret in my life, and now I'm dead without regrets, don't blame yourself, everything is my own choice. Wu Chengchan was still trying his best to comfort Concubine Li at the moment.
Concubine Li's mother is crying silently at the moment, if she can do it again, she would rather commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake than enter the palace as a concubine.
When the time for the visit came, if Concubine Li didn't leave, she would be discovered by the emperor's people. The consequences are unimaginable.
Concubine Keli reluctantly grabbed the corner of Wu Chengchan's clothes, if she let go, she would really never see her again in this life.
"Let it go." Although Wu Chengchan was even more reluctant, he couldn't be rash.
Concubine Li walked to the door of the cell in three steps and one by one.
"Promise me to live well. Otherwise, my death would be meaningless. Wu Chengchan seemed to see through Concubine Li's thoughts of wanting to commit suicide.
Concubine Li originally wanted to go with Wu Chengchan, but when she heard Wu Chengchan's words, she suddenly had the courage to live, she wanted to live well for him, and even avenge him......
Qin Kexin answered Concubine Li's mother outside the prison, and when she saw Concubine Li's mother coming out, she immediately stepped forward. I also saw that Concubine Li's eyes were more vibrant than before she just entered.
Carefully accompanied Concubine Li back to the dormitory, along the way Concubine Li didn't say a word, and when she returned to the dormitory, she fell asleep directly.
But where can Concubine Li's mother sleep, crying alone on the bed.
Although Qin Kexin left Concubine Li's bedroom first, the next day, on the day of Wu Chengchan's beheading, Qin Kexin still couldn't rest assured that Concubine Li's mother, and went to Concubine Li's bedroom to accompany her.
"What time is it?"
Wu Chengchan was cut at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Concubine Li sat on the chair nervously, and asked what time it was every once in a while. Qin Kexin looked distressed on the sidelines.
"Back to my mother, noon...... It's three quarters. ”
This moment has finally come. Concubine Li heard Ke Ran's answer, and the fan in her hand quietly fell to the ground. Blankly staring at the door.
"Concubine Li, the festival mourns smoothly." Qin Kexin couldn't think of any good words of comfort at the moment.
"We'll see you again." Concubine Li muttered.
But it didn't end so easily.
Just came over at three o'clock in the afternoon, the father-in-law next to the emperor came to deliver the decree, saying that Concubine Li would sleep tonight, and asked Concubine Li to prepare well, but it was really a disaster.
The emperor, who has always ignored Concubine Li, chose to call Concubine Li's maid to sleep at this time, and he must have intentionally humiliated Concubine Li.
"Niangniang......" Qin Kexin looked at Concubine Li worriedly, after all, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and Qin Kexin was also at a loss at this moment.
"It's okay, it's just a bed, it should be the honor of this palace." Concubine Li seemed extremely calm at the moment, as if nothing had happened.
Concubine Li was dressed up inside and out by the palace people, ready to give it to the emperor.
Concubine Li seems to be obedient, but in fact, she has already hidden the dagger in her sleeve.
The emperor was just about to possess and kiss Concubine Li, but was pushed away by Concubine Li's disgust, and the dagger in Concubine Li's hand was already eager to try.
Cheng, he should have avenged Wu Chengchan. If it doesn't work, you should go directly to see Wu Chengchan.
"It's really a disappointment, could it be because I killed your lover and held a grudge against me?" What Concubine Li didn't expect was that the emperor didn't plan to continue. The dagger that he was eager to try was also quietly put away.
"The emperor misunderstood, Wu Chengchan is just a confidant of his concubine, not a lover."
"What a confidant. Well, I don't like to force others. "The emperor deliberately humiliated Concubine Li this time, and the goal has been achieved, so he left in a huff.
Looking at the back that was still arrogant, Concubine Li clenched the dagger in her hand again. There are some thoughts germinating in Concubine Li's heart.
"Cheng Chan, I keep my innocence." Concubine Li Niangniang muttered to herself and told Wu Chengchan, who had gone.
The next day, Qin Kexin heard that although the emperor asked Concubine Li to sleep, she came out as soon as she entered the house. I didn't do anything to Concubine Li, and secretly made me happy for Concubine Li.
This hard-working woman is afraid that she will no longer be able to withstand any strong winds and waves.
"Will you still act on your own in the palace in the future?" Xiao Shujun suddenly appeared.
After this lesson, Qin Kexin deeply knew the sinister in the palace, and of course he would not do something easily.
"Then I don't act on my own, did I come to you?" Qin Kexin was reluctant to show his regret in front of Xiao Shujun, and said deliberately.
"Of course I'm here to find this king, this king is your husband......" Xiao Shujun teased Qin Kexin again.
Of course, Qin Kexin would not let Xiao Shujun take advantage, and the Manlong Ying Hall chased after Xiao Shujun.
"You're getting more and more presumptuous." Xiao Shujun stopped suddenly, and Qin Kexin pretended to be full.
Qin Kexin lowered her eyes embarrassedly, avoiding Xiao Shujun's eyes of 'dare to fight with me'.
"I'm back in the clothing bureau, so I don't bother with you."
In the end, he fled.
