Zhong Lichun smiled with relief, turned around and crawled a few steps, kneeling in front of the steps.

King Qi Xuan looked coldly at his wife kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, his face was expressionless, his eyes were vicious, and he shouted: "Zhong Lichun, can you confess?" ”

Zhong Lichun looked up at the emperor who was high above, glanced at the generals on the right, and saw that everyone was excited, and their faces were indignant. She closed her eyes and settled down. said slowly: "The concubine pleaded guilty, but begged for a quick death." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the ministers were in an uproar. Even King Qi Xuan was surprised, and after thinking about it, he understood her mind. sneered: "The queen is out of order, fornicating with the guards, the criminal should be punished, and she will be punished with a thousand knives!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there were boos, and some generals couldn't hold back and wanted to jump out to plead. But he was calmed by Zhong Lichun's fierce eyes, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Zhong Lichun slightly combed the long hair on her forehead, and glanced sideways at the generals, and all the generals saw the blood on her forehead clearly, and they all stood still, bowing their heads and not daring to look at it again.

Unexpectedly, Tian Wenzhi, the doctor of the Imperial Historical Stage, stood on the line, knelt on the ground and said: "King, although the queen is immoral, her crime should be put to death, but she made a six-nation covenant, and her contribution is indispensable. Please ask the king to give her a glass of poisoned wine, or a piece of white silk, to preserve the corpse, so that the prince will not be able to face the world in the future. Several other upright ministers also softly echoed.

King Wenxuan couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Tian Wenzhi come forward, but Tian Wenzhi was the most prestigious and the longest among the royal clansmen. It's not good to cut his face, and what he says is the truth. If she insists on going her own way and punishes her with death, I am afraid that the people of the world will not accept it. Thinking of this, he pondered for a long time and said: "Since the emperor's uncle intercedes on his behalf, he will be exempted from the punishment of slashing, killed with a random stick and cane, and executed in court." After saying that, with a wave of her sleeves, a guard had already pressed her to the ground.

Zhong Lichun sneered, fell to the ground, let the sticks fly sideways, flesh and blood splashed, and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

The generals Tian Yong and Li Meng looked at each other, stood up, and said: "The queen is righteous and dedicated to the country, if it is said that the queen is out of moderation, and the ministers do not believe it, whether there is another hidden situation, please let the king be clear, do not make the queen wronged, and the heroes are cold." As soon as the words fell, Zhong Lichun didn't have time to stop them, only to see the guards behind the two of them raise their knives, and the two were killed on the spot. A pair of tiger eyes are wide open, and the death is unknown.

Zhao Xin and Zhang Yi saw that their righteous brother died innocently in vain, and they couldn't help but be furious, Huo Ran became angry, "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." The king killed his loyal ministers in vain and beat the queen into a trick. If you don't read the slightest bit of husband and wife, what's the use of Paul. Before the words fell, several steel knives had already fallen, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Lichun sighed and said in a trembling voice: "Why do you bother to kill yourself for me, and let me suffer in vain. After speaking, he trembled and raised his finger to his forehead, gritted his teeth, and sprayed several mouthfuls of blood. A wisp of grievances does not disperse and rushes straight to the sky. In an instant, I saw a black cloud floating on the palace, which did not disperse for a long time.

The guards stepped forward and said, "King Qiyu, the queen gritted her teeth and committed suicide." ”

Xu Wennuo tightly grasped the hands of the two people in front of him, so as not to make them take half a step forward.

King Qi Xuan couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that although the other generals were full of resentment, no one stepped forward to speak, and he thought that if Zhong Lichun refused to admit his guilt, some generals would jump out to avenge his grievances, and then he would be executed for having personal affairs with the queen. Unexpectedly, Zhong Lichun admitted it today. All the generals forbeared, except for the four reckless generals of the third and fourth grades. I couldn't help sighing, but I was helpless. Unconsciously interested, he stood up and said, "Throw the corpse away in the mass grave outside the northern city."

Tian Wenzhi's face was full of anger, and he said sharply: "One death and ten thousand sins are gone, as the mother of the prince, she begs the king to reward her with a coffin, let her be buried in the ground, and don't let people poke her backbone." ”

King Qi Xuan was reluctant to say: "I will reward her with a coffin and bury her in a mass grave." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Zhong Wenwu looked at the corpse of the woman who was carried away by the guards, and shook his head and sighed.

Xu Wennuo watched the woman's body move, let go of the hands of the two, walked down the hall quickly, and flew on the horse. When he returned to the house, he summoned his entourage to whisper. Quickly flashed into the study, closed the door, took out the white yarn from the cuffs, only to see stains of blood, the words were sad, the cause and effect were slightly explained, and finally the child asked him to take more care. is already a dying orphan. After the book of three forbearance words and please.

Xu Wennuo packed the blood book in a special brocade box that was invulnerable to water and fire, and put it in the secret compartment mechanism. Respectfully knelt down and kowtowed three times, "The minister respects the last order of the mother, will not disgrace the mission, protect the prince thoroughly, and one day avenge your grievances and let the truth be revealed to the world." Speaking of the dignified seven-foot man, in the eyes of the tiger, big tears rolled down and covered his clothes. Who said that men shed blood without tears, only because they did not reach the sad place.

At night, in the mass grave outside the city, several figures appeared looking for a lonely grave that had just been buried, and the next person pointed to a small mound.

Xu Wennuo asked, "Are you sure it's here." The subordinate nodded affirmatively and said, "The villain has seen it with his own eyes, and there will be no difference." ”

Xu Wennuo waved his hand, and several figures hurriedly dug up the Fautus and opened the coffin. With a little moonlight and faint torches, he took a closer look, reached out and carefully removed the jade bracelet from the female corpse's hand, took off her crested shoes, and picked her up. Dodge into a carriage on the side of the road. Another attendant carried a sack and put the female corpse that had been prepared long ago with a jade bracelet and crested shoes. Place in a coffin and cover. After quickly backfilling the floating soil, he left in a hurry.

Not long after they left, a few more figures came to the newly buried grave, picked up the floating soil that had just been filled in, opened the coffin, and saw the female corpse with a jade bracelet in her hand, and her feet wearing phoenix shoes mixed with flesh and blood, nodded, and hidden in the dark to see a few lone wolves eating the corpse cleanly, and turned to leave.

The next morning, several generals came to sacrifice with sacrifices, and saw the coffin opened, and the corpse was gnawed by a lone wolf, a few bones, a bracelet, and a pair of tattered crested shoes. I couldn't help crying, put the wreckage and the bracelet and phoenix shoes back into the coffin, filled the new soil back into the tampling, and moved dozens of stones around to press the soil. Set out the sacrifices, sacrifice them, and weep and want to leave.

Seeing a carriage stop, a young figure led by the guards to the grave. The generals knelt down one after another to pay homage to the crown prince. Tian Ning didn't care, and went straight to the grave crying and fainted to death. The guards were in a hurry, put him in the carriage, and beat the horse back to the palace. Revenge to King Wenxuan.
