Chapter 243: A bite back

The prince's prison sentence was a formality, and the prince would not personally pour poison into the prisoner's mouth, besides, Zhao Qingshui was a concubine and his mother-in-law, so he still needed to avoid it, so after coming to the prison, he did not enter the cell, but just stood outside from a distance and instructed the accompanying officials to proceed step by step.

Zhao Qingshui had already been taken out in advance, placed alone in a clean cell, washed briefly, and changed into clean clothes.

It's just that the prison life in January has completely changed her pampered and beautiful appearance, and now Zhao Qingshui has a wooden expression, withered hair, and an old woman-like face, where can you still see a little bit of the past appearance and glory?

And the dignified posture cultivated by the family background that she has always been proud of has also turned into cowering and cowardice.

At this moment, she sat under the window, looking up at the beam of sunlight shining into the cell, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer in the cell, her fingers trembled slightly, she knew that the glass of poisoned wine was coming!

And today, it's her death!

I thought that death was a relief, she couldn't ask for it, she would not be afraid, but she didn't expect that until this moment, she realized the horror before death, if it wasn't for the heavy prison doors, she would definitely escape!

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder, why did she end up like this?

She could have given birth to a dragon son and enjoyed her success, but now she has become a prisoner... It's all Peng Mo... All her misery was caused by Peng Mo!

She shouldn't have died like this!

The sound of chains interrupted her thoughts, and when she turned around, she saw the officials and jailers pouring into the cell, her eyes crossed with panic, and the fear in her heart became even more obvious.

"Zhao Qingshui, the emperor remembered that you have served for many years and had a princess, so let you leave the whole corpse, this is the wine given by the emperor, thank you and take it!" An official who didn't know what his identity was walked up to Zhao Qingshui and said with an arrogant expression.

As soon as the words were spoken, the jailer stepped forward and placed the dove wine in the tray on the only table in the cell.

Zhao Qingshui looked sideways at the wine jug with a delicate gold-painted twig pattern at the corner of the table, and snorted coldly in his heart, "Thank you?" He's going to kill her, and he wants her to thank him?

Huo Ran felt a strong unwillingness in her heart, even if she died, she couldn't die in vain, she wanted to pull Peng Mo and General Peng's mansion off the cliff and bury her with her!

With this thought, her gray eyes became a little sharp, and she said coldly: "I want to see King Qu!"

When the jailer heard this, he shouted: "Cause less trouble, otherwise we will not be polite!" What is her identity? A prisoner who is about to die, and she still wants to see the king of Qu?

Zhao Qingshui took a deep breath, and said in a cold tone: "You go and tell King Qu that I have news from the Peng family!" After speaking, she didn't look at everyone's reactions, turned around and continued to look out the window, she expected that King Qu would definitely come!

A few jailers may not understand this, but the accompanying officials understand the deep meaning, and secretly glance at each other, the only Peng family in Kyoto that can make King Qu fall in love is General Peng's mansion!

Thinking that King Qu has always been courteous to please the General's Mansion, and even wanted to marry Peng Mo, this is naturally the military power of the General's Mansion, but a Wei Yingran can be inserted horizontally, completely breaking King Qu's plan.

This Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the General's Mansion were originally related to each other, so what secrets do you know?

Thinking of this, the official did not dare to delay, and hurriedly withdrew from the cell to report to the king of Qu.

When King Qu heard the news, his eyes lit up, he thought about it in his heart, and walked towards the cell.

The cell door was reopened, and Zhao Qingshui was seen lying on the table, and the official hurriedly instructed the jailer to come forward and call.

The jailer didn't dare to delay, so he stepped forward and called twice, but Zhao Qingshui didn't answer, so the jailer gently pushed twice.

With just this push, Zhao Qingshui fell under the table without force, only to see the person on the ground, bleeding from the seven orifices, his lips were black, and he was obviously dead.

The official exclaimed in surprise: "This... Why did this die? Isn't it that he has already drunk the dove wine?" "Didn't you say that you had something to tell the king of Qu?"

King Qu didn't hear the secret about the Peng family, but when he saw this bloodstained scene, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, stared at the official coldly, and reprimanded: "It's really stupid!"

What secrets can she, a palace concubine, know? It is clear that she just wants to be repatriated and leave a little dignity!

The reprimanded officials knew that they were guilty, and they did not dare to defend themselves, but just bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

King Qu snorted coldly and threw his sleeves out of the cell, but this bad mood lasted until the execution ground did not improve.

endured the unhappiness in his heart, got out of the carriage with a warm face, and walked gracefully to the execution ground.

Seeing Mu Langyue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Qingya smiled, greeted him, and exchanged pleasantries, and the two of them sat down separately.

Only then did King Qu set his eyes on the prisoner in prison clothes on the execution ground, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, how could he become like this in just one month? I saw that Zhao Shuchang was skinny, his hair was like dry grass, and Mu Na was stunned like a walking corpse.

Is this still the shrewd and slick Zhao Shuchang?

Blessings and misfortunes, the previous month Zhao Qingshui was still distinguished and extraordinary because he was pregnant with a dragon, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion instantly rose and the ship was hot, but who knew that once the disaster came, it was this catastrophe!

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and instantly understood the reason why his father had put him in prison!

It's a warning, knock!

warn him not to be rebellious, otherwise, Zhao Shuchang's fate may be his fate!

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat!

Zhao Shu often used bloodshot and cloudy eyes to patrol the people under the execution ground, he didn't see a familiar face, and his heart was desolate.

Thinking of his wife and concubine who were outcast, Zhao Qingshui who was tortured, Zhao Shi who was exiled, and Zhao Qingying who was imprisoned, there was a burst of blood in his chest, and tears blurred his vision.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sum up his life, only to feel that he had failed to the extreme!

Mu Langyue looked at Zhao Shuchang with a cold expression, in fact, the two of them are also a little clear, if they say that they should send a glass of water and wine for him today, but when he thinks of what he did to the General's Mansion with revenge, Mu Langyue was upset for a while, and this glass of water and wine was exempted!

Looking up at the sun, he stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Qu, the hour has come." ”

King Qu came back to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, picked up the fire stick in the cylinder, threw it heavily to the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Execution!"

Mohe Garden

Peng Mo looked at Peng Li, who was standing straight behind the desk practicing calligraphy, smiled and looked down at him, and instructed gently: "You have to use a little harder wrist here, so that the words written will look good." ”

Peng Li nodded in agreement, picked up another piece of paper, and rewrote a few words.

Peng Mo smiled and praised.

Liuying walked in and said in a low voice, "Master, it's over!"

Peng Mo didn't want Peng Li to hear about the pickles, so he walked outside, lowered his voice and asked, "How?"

Liuying's jaw said: "Zhao Qingshui really wanted to bite back, but her subordinates didn't give her a chance to speak." ”

She took advantage of the fact that the officials and jailers were out looking for King Qu, slipped into the cell, poured Zhao Qingshui and drank the dove wine.

Peng Mo nodded, but didn't ask about the details, just asked, "What about Zhao Shuchang and Zhao Shi?"

Liuying replied lightly: "Zhao Shuchang has been beheaded at noon, and the body has been thrown on the mass grave, and the exiled Zhao Shi has already left Kyoto." ”

Peng Mo nodded, sneered lightly and asked, "Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying have any appearances?"

Liuying shook her head, she had been in the execution ground all the time, and she didn't see the two of them.

Peng Mo couldn't help but feel sad for Zhao Shuchang, he had both children and daughters, but no one collected the corpses after his death, this ending was really tragic!

With a light sigh, he asked, "How is my mother?"

"Madame has been chanting sutras in the small Buddha hall. ”

Peng Mo frowned and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, where are the third brothers?" It is better to go to the Lotus Garden together to talk, join in the fun, and drive away the sorrow in my heart for my mother.

"The uncle went out, the eldest grandmother went to the eldest princess's mansion, and the third master went to the palace. ”

Peng Mo looked back at Peng Li and asked with a smile: "Li'er, let's go to Grandmother and let Grandmother see if Li'er has practiced big characters, okay?"

Peng Li smiled and nodded "Okay".

Lotus Garden

Peng knelt quietly in front of the Buddha shrine, the Buddha beads in his hand twisted quickly and urgently, his lips were buzzing, and his thoughts were sound.

Qiao Yun stepped forward and said softly, "Madam, Fourth Miss and Young Master Sun are here." ”

Peng listened, the hand twisting the Buddha beads stopped, opened his eyes and looked at the Bodhisattva who was compassionate to all beings, sighed slightly, and stood up.

Qiao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Peng's arm, and said worriedly: "Madam, but you have been kneeling for too long, and you are numb?"

Peng shook his head and said, "Don't get in the way, be quiet, don't let Mo'er hear it." After a while, he walked out with the help of Qiaoyun.

As soon as Peng Li saw Peng's family, he pounced on him and said with a smile: "Grandmother, take a look at Li'er's big characters to see if she has improved." ”

Peng hugged the person, kissed the cheek, and said, "Oh, grandmother's good grandson." ”

Peng Mo looked at Peng's like this, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and chuckled: "Mother, this is Li'er's practice, how about you take a look?"

Peng picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, nodded while looking at it, and joked: "Better than your father, when your father was as old as you, his writing was ugly." ”

As soon as these words came out, Peng Mo and Peng Li both covered their mouths and chuckled.

Jin Wangfu, Qingxin Pavilion

Qi Yu shouted angrily, "What? Shui Yao's death deed is not in my hands?"

Fang Min lowered his head and explained, "Concubine Fang, Shui Yao is not the son of the Qi Mansion, so there is no deed of sale!"

If there is no death deed, how can she still handle Shui Yao's slut? Qi Yu frowned, and said in a low voice: "How could my mother find a woman who did not have a deed of sale to dowry?" Or is it so young and beautiful with a deep scheming? What is Qi Fu's heart?

Fang Min said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang, why don't you go back and ask Madame?"

Qi Yu shook his head: "I'll go back tomorrow, let's ask again when we meet, so as not to worry my mother." "This matter can't be publicized yet, if Qi Yeru knows about it, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect!

Fang Min's jaw said yes.
