Jiang Rong took a step to the side, blocked A-Qing with his body, and glanced at the minions who were almost ready to make a move, "Who of you dares!" ”

The prince scolded, which really shocked those minions, and they looked at each other but did not dare to step forward.

The concubine said to those minions: "Even the queen mother's decree dares to disobey, do you also want to be beaten?" ”

The minions were excited, and for fear of getting into trouble, they had to obey their orders and go over to arrest people.

Aqing knelt behind Jiang Ei, pulled the hem of Jiang Ei's clothes and begged: "Your Highness, Your Highness saves the minions......"

Jiang Rong blocked Aqing, motionless, and the drunkenness in his eyes had completely dissipated. He knows very well who is strong and who is weak here, and if it is true, Aqing's life will hang.

Jiang Rong looked at Wei Guogong, and his tone softened a lot: "Dare to ask Lord Guogong how he is willing to let go of Aqing?" ”

"As long as His Highness has the appearance of His Highness, the minister will naturally not be angry with the people around His Highness." Wei Guogong pointed to Li Qingqing, and then said, "This Li Guiren is His Majesty's concubine, His Royal Highness's elders, as long as His Majesty is still here, His Royal Highness will not be able to be the master of the concubines, please Your Highness quickly return to the palace to rest, and the ministers here will come to deal with the aftermath." ”

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Ei'er, if you don't go back, the life of this slave will be decided!" ”

The concubine also followed and persuaded: "Your Highness, do you know that it is not worth it to disobey your benefactor for an irrelevant woman." ”

Jiang Rong froze in place without saying a word, clenched his hands, but he couldn't give up......

"His Royal Highness the Prince, go back, thank Your Highness for your kindness, the current situation is caused by me, I can't live because of my own sin, and I can't drag His Highness down anymore." Li Qingqing lowered his eyes and said.

"Miss Li......"

Jiang Rong turned around, and before he could finish speaking, Li Qingqing had already turned around and walked in the direction of the secret prison, and walked resolutely.

Wei Guogong ordered: "Come on, take Li Guiren back to the prison, escort him to the entrance of Xishi Street at noon tomorrow, and execute him the day after tomorrow!" ”

Jiang Rong was powerless to stop it, and watched the guards escort Li Qingqing away. This kind of helplessness is the most heart-burning.

He was not only uncomfortable for not rescuing Li Qingqing, but also regretted that he had wrongly believed in a group of people......

The square fell silent, and Jiang Rong's six gods said without a master: "Aqing, let's go." ”

"Wait!"

Jiang Rong looked at Wei Guogong, his expression was like frost, and he was no longer obedient and honest as before, "What else does Lord Guogong command?" ”

"Your Highness, this slave has not served his master well, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and it must not go unpunished."

Jiang Yi was annoyed for a moment, "You just said ...... clearly"

The Queen Mother interrupted Jiang Rong's words, "That's it, for the sake of him serving you for many years, a small punishment and a big commandment, and a cane for thirty years." ”

The concubine glanced at Aqing and said, "Dog slave, the Queen Mother and Lord Guogong spared your life, don't thank you quickly." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie......" Aqing knelt on the ground and trembled.

Jiang Rong watched Aqing being dragged away by two eunuchs, full of resentment and isolated. The people who used to be kind to him had torn off their disguises, and he only found out at this time that except for his unconscious father, none of the entire Daning were his real relatives......

In the afternoon of the next day, the sky was overcast, and the square inside the West City Gate had never been so lively as today, and the people blocked the road into the city, and even the West Market Street was full of people.

Soon a large number of forbidden troops began to disperse the people along the streets, clearing the way for the prisoner carts to pass.

The people looked forward and saw a girl in the slowly approaching prison cart, a very beautiful girl. I heard that she was the mother of the palace, and said that this lady had murdered His Majesty, so she was to be executed, and she was executed in front of them, the common people.

Li Qingqing stood on the prisoner car, calmly holding on to the iron bar, despair had made her forget to shed tears, she just missed her father and brothers very much, she missed Sister Mei very much, and she also missed the person who was as cold as ice. But she was willing not to see them, and she didn't want them to risk it.

There is a stone platform on the square between the city gate and the entrance of Xishi Street, which is the place where the government beheads people on weekdays. After the prisoner car arrived, Li Qingqing was taken to the stone platform and tied to the crosspost, unable to move his hands and feet.

Under the stage were many defending forbidden troops and a sea of onlookers.

Time passed, from afternoon to dusk, the sky became darker and darker, and the people had seen enough of the excitement and went home one after another. The Praetorian Army was still guarding under the stone platform, cautiously guarding against anyone taking prisoners.

Li Qingqing didn't get a drop of water, the previous wind and cold were not good, and the whole person wilted like dry grass, his mind was blurred, and he was hot.

A light rain began to fall in the sky, pouring cold on his face, Li Qingqing slowly opened his eyes, raised his head vigorously and looked at the sky, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and he could only see the moonlight through the gaps in the clouds.

There is still half a month to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she has never had the opportunity to reunite with her family, if her death can be exchanged for the safety of her family and friends, she will not regret it.

A light smile appeared on Li Qingqing's dry lips and lowered his head.

On the city tower, Wei Guogong stood by the railing, overlooking everything below. Li Qingqing remained motionless, the forbidden army stood like a pine, and there was no movement except for the sound of the wind.

Ji Nanrou walked up to Wei Guogong and asked, "Dad, will anyone come?" ”

"Mei Xiaoren is not a merciless person, last time she was able to risk her life to save Li Guiren, and this time will be no exception."

"But she is not in the capital, and our people don't know where she is after many inquiries, and I even wonder if my senior brother took her away."

Wei Guogong said lightly: "Impossible, Gu Chuyu doesn't know how dangerous this trip is?" How could he bear to let his sweetheart take risks with him, Mei Xiaoren must still be near Shangjing, but he didn't know where he was hiding, if there was no bait, how could he let her show up. ”

Ji Nanrou was reassured. It was late at night, and she and her father stood guard on the castle tower, just waiting for someone. This person is not easy to catch, otherwise it would not be hard Li Guiren was tied up in the public so early......

The autumn wind was whining, and the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, Ji Nanrou's maid added a cloak to her, but Li Qingqing under the city was still in the heavy rain and looked very pitiful.

Ji Nanrou sighed again: "Fortunately, my father took Ye Zhi away, if he is here, I am afraid that he will not know what to do and plead with his father when he sees Li Guiren suffering such hardships." ”

"Rou'er, don't talk about Ye Zhi in the future, don't forget who captured this person." Wei Guogong looked sideways and blamed.

Ji Nanrou smiled and bowed her head, "Yes, if my father remembers his merits, someone will remember him as a grudge, if he takes the effortless to face Mei Xiaoren, he can't say anything." He looked at Wei Guo Gong again, "When Mei Xiaoren throws himself into the net, can my father hand over the person to his daughter?" ”

"That's what you're waiting here with your father?"

"My daughter doesn't dare to think anything wrong, but I don't want her to feel better." Ji Nanrou's gaze went cold.

"People can give it to you, but before Gu Chuyu completely loses power, you can't hurt her life, otherwise not only will there be no bargaining chips in your father's hands, but you will also force Gu Chuyu to break the boat and die with your father." Wei Guogong looked at the downstairs of the city and said indifferently, "The rest, you can dispose of it." ”

"My daughter understands." Ji Nanrou yawned lightly.
