Chapter 107: Bai Qian died
Qinghua Emperor's dormitory.
The palace maid and eunuch were first expelled by Emperor Qinghua, and the eunuch who brought Bai Qian in also bent down and retreated, and there were only two people left in the huge palace.
When the eunuch went out, he did not forget to close the main entrance of the palace.
After a moment of "squeak", everyone else was blocked out of the palace, and only the former master and servant, the current king, and the prisoner were left.
Emperor Qinghua looked at Bai Qian, who was in a trance and disheveled in the audience, and said, "How can this be reasonable, I clearly ordered them not to embarrass you." ”
Bai Qian sneered, and made the posture of the courtier sufficient: "Your Majesty is bothered, the servants sleep peacefully and eat satisfactorily in the prison, and the jailers are also polite, but they have been in the palace for more than ten years, and they are not as comfortable as last night." ”
"You really don't know what to do." Emperor Qinghua said dissatisfiedly, he was kind-hearted, but in exchange for cynicism.
Bai Qian ignored his slightly reprimanding words, he was already a person waiting to die, and he still kept the rules of etiquette.
In the huge palace, there were only two figures, one sitting on a white jade chair, and the other standing in the hall in handcuffs. There is a short distance of dozens or hundreds of paces, but it makes the two of them look alone.
Emperor Qinghua couldn't help but look at the right side behind him, and the prisoners in the hall were standing in the previous position.
Thinking of the old relationship, he even decided to give Bai Qian another chance.
"As long as you are willing to guard the cold palace, it doesn't hurt for me to spare your life."
Emperor Qinghua's words undoubtedly broke the original tranquility between the two, Bai Qian raised his head and looked at the kind monarch on the stage who thought he was open.
He raised his arm with a heavy iron chain, pointed at Emperor Qinghua on the stage, trembled and said, "You think that the cold palace is a place where the living can stay, and you actually want me to spend the rest of my life alone in that kind of cold place where there are no living people." Put away your mercy Your Majesty Qinghua, the slave knows that you are affectionate and righteous, but you still give me a white silk, poisonous wine is also fine, just let me die quickly. ”
Emperor Qinghua also sensed the inappropriateness of his decision just now, he thought about it and said: "Didn't you adopt a daughter, I can order someone to ......"
"Phew!" Eunuch Bai spat on the black stone floor, and he said like thunder: "Huang Qinghua! You cut me with a thousand knives, and I deserve it, but last night you promised me to let my family frost go, if you dare to let her go into the cold palace with me to live a poor life and ruin the good years, don't blame me...... Don't blame me for ......"
Bai Qian couldn't continue halfway through speaking, he was already a prisoner, and he didn't seem to be able to cause the slightest harm to the man in front of him.
Bai Qian pounced, and his two knees slammed into the stone slab, and the knee bones and the stone slab slammed into a muffled echo. Bai Qian put down his arrogance and begged bitterly: "You can't let Baishuang suffer with me, she is a child, she is innocent, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Qinghua, spare Baishuang, you can deal with me however you want." ”
"You ......" Bai Qian was arrogant for a while, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy for a while, which made Emperor Qinghua feel very uncomfortable.
He hoped that the people he valued would either obey him, or be able to stand up and point at his nose instead of begging for mercy.
"Naturally, I don't do anything to hoarfrost." Although Emperor Qinghua didn't admit it, Bai Qian's plea really softened his heart. A person with iron bones, suddenly his bones are soft, how can people not feel distressed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Qian also realized how humble and ridiculous his actions were just now, and lowered his head and stopped talking.
Noon is approaching, and the people of Daheng think that noon is the heaviest moment of the day, and those who die at this moment will not leave the dead in the world.
"Noon is approaching, do you choose a way to die, do you really want to live in the cold palace?"
Bai Qian may have felt the warmth in Emperor Qinghua's words, and said softly: "I assisted the prince in his intention to rebel, and it is true that I instigated my subordinates to cover up the prince's rebellion. According to the law of Daheng, the crime deserves death, but I, Bai Qian, am also a meritorious person, and I think Your Majesty will not do anything humiliating to me. Your Majesty gave me a dagger, and when I died, my body was cremated to ashes and handed over to White Frost, and she did not see me for the last time. ”
Emperor Qinghua sighed lightly, and then said: "Everything is as you wish, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, I will allow it." ”
Bai Qian remembered the small jar placed in the palace, and said in a trembling voice: "There is a ceramic jar in my palace residence, I want to have a whole corpse in the dead, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." ”
After listening to his request, Emperor Qinghua felt even more guilty about him, and said, "Don't worry. ”
Last night, Bai Qian suddenly said that he helped the prince rebel, which made Emperor Qinghua furious. But after knowing the reason why he betrayed him, that anger disappeared, and he felt guilty about Bai Qian.
It was he who hurt him, involved him in the court dispute, and changed from a free man on the street to a lowly eunuch in the palace.
The difference between them is not something that glory and wealth can make up.
The eunuch outside the door came in with a wooden plate, Bai Qian picked up a sharp dagger from the plate, and cut it off his neck without saying a word.
He fell, blood flowed all over the ground, and there was a bright red color on the black stone slab that could not be seen, and only a puddle of liquid could be seen soaked in Bai Qian.
Emperor Qinghua sat weakly on the chair with a sad face.
