Chapter 0170: Promise for an Afterlife
In front of the door of the imperial study, the crown prince Ye Hongyin and Ye Yao were waiting at the door. The two siblings still want to save Xia Jue.
"Brother Prince, do you think my father will really kill him?"
"Fang Jue has military exploits, and his father is just angry, let's wait."
"Oh..."
"Yao'er, how can you..."
Ye Hongyin didn't understand how Ye Yao would intercede for Fang Jue.
In the imperial study, the eunuch Gao Cai carefully poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Yunlong.
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, and the prince and princess have been standing for two hours."
Ye Yunlong put down the fold in his hand. "What do you think about this?"
"The old slave didn't dare to talk much."
"I'll let you speak."
"Fang Jue has the talent to govern the army, if he is executed like this, it is indeed a pity. Fang Jue is not only the proton of Jiangning County, but also the husband of the lord of Qiao. ”
"Since he knows that he is the husband of Lord Qiao, how can he give up his future for a singer."
"The old slave thinks that since Fang Jue has no intention of wielding power, he is safer than others to use, and he does not hesitate to give up his future for the sake of a woman, and women are his weakness."
Ye Yunlong listened to Gao Cai's analysis, turned around and said. "Do you have a soft underbelly?"
Gao Cai knelt on the ground. The old slave said a lot, and asked the emperor to forgive his sins. The old slave has not been hard since he was missing one thing, and his whole body is soft. ”
This sentence amused Ye Yunlong, he calmed down when he returned to the imperial study, he didn't plan to execute Fang Jue, but since Chrysostom had been opened, he couldn't take it back easily, and he also wanted Fang Jue to be punished. "Call the prince in."
The crown prince Ye Hongyin and Ye Yao entered the imperial study and quickly knelt down to plead.
"I also ask my father to read that Fang Jue has military exploits and forgive Fang Jue this time."
"If everyone follows suit, where is the law of the Celestial Empire?" Ye Yunlong said to Ye Yao again. "Why are you pleading?"
Ye Yao was speechless, she couldn't say too much about herself and Fang Jue, after all, she was a princess. "Yao'er is interceding for Xiao Yue'er's sister who is the county lord, she has no husband after only a few days of marriage, I think she must be very sad. has no parents since she was a child, and now she is about to lose her husband, Yao'er feels sorry for the county lord's sister. ”
Ye Yunlong looked at Ye Yao, when did this Ye Yao become so sensible and actually care about other people's affairs. Ye Yunlong glanced at the crown prince Ye Hongyin again, and Ye Hongyin's eyes hurriedly dodged. Ye Yunlong had already guessed that most of Ye Yao's words were taught by Ye Hongyin.
"Get up, Yao'er, you go back first, I have my own considerations."
"Then does the father still kill Fang Jue?"
"National affairs, you shouldn't ask."
As soon as Ye Yao wanted to continue to mess around, Ye Hongyin glanced at her, suggesting that Ye Yao left, and Fang Jue should not die. Ye Yao left, but Ye Yao didn't leave, hiding at the door and eavesdropping.
The emperor had something to discuss with the crown prince, and Gao Cai had to leave.
"Princess, it's windy outside, let's go back and rest early."
Gao Cai deliberately amplified his voice, and Ye Yao had to leave.
"This Fang Jue is unruly, and Chu Liuyun's calm and introverted personality, I am more at ease with Fang Jue. Do you know who the woman Fang Jue pleaded for today is? ”
"The son doesn't know, and I ask my father to prompt."
"She is Mu Baixin's daughter, this Mu family has a lot of relationship with the Chu family, it is impossible for Chu Liuyun not to know this woman, but it is Fang Jue who came out to intercede, do you think it is strange."
"As my father said so, my son thinks that the Mu family is in decline, and it is possible that the Chu family wants to clear up the relationship."
"I want to see how the Chu family gets rid of it, pass on the decree, and let the prime minister personally supervise the beheading tomorrow, and Chu Liuyun will supervise the beheading."
"Father really wants to kill Fang Jue?"
"I want to cut off Fang Jue's arrogance, I will do the wicked, and you will be the good man."
Only then did Ye Hongyin understand what Ye Yunlong meant, this was to give himself the credit for Fang Jue, so that Fang Jue would follow him in the future.
The emperor's will soon spread to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the prime minister actually had to do the work of the prime minister himself, why didn't Wang Si understand the intention, this was to push the disaster on himself. It doesn't matter whether Fang Jue lives or dies, the important thing is that as soon as Fang Jue dies, he indirectly offends Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, and Fang Yan, a powerful minister. However, the emperor had already issued an order, and Wang Si had to obey.
Chu Liuyun heard that he would have to supervise and behead himself, if he watched Fang Jue die, he would be very happy, but Mu Dongge would also die in front of him, which made Chu Liuyun very entangled and sad. Chu Liuyun wanted to retreat, but Wang Si disagreed, he wanted Chu Liuyun to be present, because this was the emperor's order.
After a long night, many people couldn't sleep because of Fang Jue.
"You're alright."
Fang Jue had already handed his coat to Mu Dongge, who was still curled up in the corner.
"It's dawn..."
"Yes, it's dawn. Does your face still hurt? ”
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
At this time, the guards of the prison brought good wine and meat. Fang Jue and Mu Dongge both know very well that this may be the last meal in their lives, the severed head meal.
"Excuse me, can you let me pass."
"This..."
"We're all going to die, can't we have a meal together?"
Fang Jue took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the guard. "It's useless for me to keep it, you can take it and divide it."
The silver ticket is a good thing, Fang Jue came to Mu Dongge's cell.
"It's the first time we've eaten at the same table, but it's also the last. Eat, I don't want to be a starving ghost. ”
Mu Dongge looked lonely, she was a little unwilling, she had not yet cleared the grievances of the Mu family.
"I can be with you on the road in this life, I am very content, if there is an afterlife, I can meet you."
Fang Jue poured another glass of wine into his stomach.
"What will it be like in the next life?" Mu Dongge took the wine glass and drank it down.
"If there is an afterlife and I want to marry you, can you give me a chance?"
Mu Dongge put down the wine glass and looked at Fang Jue in a daze, she suddenly smiled bitterly. "In the next life..."Mu Dongge suddenly remembered the scenes he had experienced with Fang Jue, Fang Jue risked his life many times to save himself, and this time I am afraid that he is really going to die." Thank you, if there is really an afterlife, I am willing to repay you this love. ”
"Okay, that's our agreement."
Fang Jue filled Mu Dongge again, and then touched the cup. "Cheers to the afterlife."
Mu Dongge tried to calm the fear before death, but he still couldn't be as calm as Fang Jue. Mu Dongge just looked at Fang Jue, the man he once hated, but he was the last man to accompany him to the end of his life. Mu Dongge smiled, this time she smiled naturally. "Cheers to the afterlife"
Fang Jue watched Mu Dongge drink the agreed wine, he was very satisfied, the blood marks on Mu Dongge's face, the blood had already coagulated.
"Isn't it ugly, regret that it's too late to survive in the next life." Mu Dongge turned his face away.
Fang Jue stretched out his hand to move Mu Dongge's face over, touching Mu Dongge's face for the first time, Mu Dongge didn't dodge, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"You are the most beautiful in my eyes at this moment, I can't wait for the next life, I really want to marry you home in this life."
This trace of affection began to sprout in Mu Dongge's heart.
