Chapter 274: Protect What You Want to Protect
The seemingly miserable ending did not end like this, Wang Shuyi's previous incident with Shen Xingliang spread more and more widely, and naturally it finally reached the ears of the emperor.
"Bold, this Wang Shuyi bullied people to my head. I usually think that she is in peace, but I can't imagine that she is such a person. In front of Xiao Liyue and others, the emperor slapped the table with his hand.
The eunuch on the side looked at such a scene, frowned, and stared closely at the slightly red and swollen hands, for fear that there would be any damage.
"Father, there is no evidence to prove that what she says is true. Thinking about it now, maybe it was because Imperial Doctor Shen saved her life before, so Mrs. Yushi would say such a thing. Originally, it was just a kind intention to save someone's life, so there was no need to be so angry. ”
This is the first time since Xiao Liyue came to this world that she has seen the emperor so angry. When he spoke, he unconsciously bowed his back slightly, and his voice was also a meal.
Queen Lin on the side glanced at her: "Kind? Even well-intentioned people can't do it that way. Saying such a thing in front of everyone is still a marriage given by the emperor. Isn't this just deliberately slapping the emperor in the face? What is the use of keeping such a person? ”
I really don't know what Wang Shuyi offended the queen, but whenever it is related to it, the queen spares no effort to be angry, as if the two have a deep hatred.
On weekdays, because the imperial doctor is also regarded as the emperor's right-hand man, it is just regarded as some struggles in the harem, and it is okay to listen to it.
But today, this matter is really too fierce.
Not only the palace, but also outside the palace have begun to circulate various versions. There are even people who change their identities and directly replace them with other officials and their wives.
Once such an atmosphere spreads, the entire palace will be criticized by the people.
As the ruler of a country, he naturally cannot allow such a thing to spread.
"This Wang Shuyi, relying on herself as Mrs. Yushi, is the marriage given by me to the emperor. Even if everything she said was false, it had already caused extremely bad effects. If you don't deal with people like her well, how can this country still be like a country? ”
Every time I looked at the pair of hands that were so well maintained on weekdays, they landed the coffee table like this, and Gonggong Yuan on the side had a look of pity on his face.
can actually make the emperor so angry, it seems that Wang Shuyi is indeed more than lucky this time.
"Your Majesty, Wang Shuyi, a woman, has been against the palace many times on weekdays. Now he is even more out of the flow of words, as the so-called, killing chickens and monkeys, it is better to behead her directly to show the public, so that everyone inside and outside the palace knows what to say and what not to say. ”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Empress Lin's mouth, and a fierce gaze was released in her eyes.
"Father, in fact, ......." Xiao Liyue wanted to find a chance to stop it, but was dumbfounded by Xiao Chu, who was silent on the side, and couldn't say a word in an instant.
"The queen is right, for this kind of cholera dynasty and human morality, the harshest method must be used to punish it." The dissatisfied look in the emperor's eyes became more and more intense, and he said to Gonggong Yuan on the side, "You give the order now, immediately send Wang Shuyi to the prison, and three days later, behead the public at noon." ”
The cold voice fell, but there was no hesitation.
Such an indifferent imperial aura fell into Xiao Liyue's eyes, and he only felt a strong chill emerge from his whole body.
After the order was passed down, the emperor seemed to have exhausted a lot of effort, and hurriedly asked everyone to retreat. Xiao Chu pulled Xiao Liyue, who was reluctant to leave, out of the door.
As soon as he went out, he was deliberately blocked by Queen Lin: "What? Didn't you say before that Wang Shuyi was wronged? Then why didn't you just tell the emperor what you thought? Perhaps, when you say this, the emperor will think that what you said is indeed very reasonable, and give Wang Shuyi a lot of silver taels for that woman. ”
Speaking harshly words, Queen Lin covered her mouth with her hand and laughed a few times, and then left happily.
During this period, if it weren't for Xiao Chufang secretly ordering Xiao Liyue's acupoint, he would have scolded the queen directly.
took Xiao Liyue to a courtyard that was rarely walked, and Xiao Chufang opened all her acupoints.
As if feeling fresh breath again, Xiao Liyue took a big breath, then turned her head and said dissatisfiedly in the direction of Xiao Chufang: "Why didn't you say a word just now?" Do you also think that everything Wang Shuyi did was wrong? That's right, she did a lot of unforgivable things before, but this time, in order to save Brother Shen, she did not hesitate to tell the secrets she had hidden for many years. It means that she has repented, can't the world give the repentant a chance to start over? ”
Xiao Li Yueye didn't know why he was so excited, maybe he thought of his past life, thinking of this hard-won life, and suddenly felt a feeling.
Xiao Chufang did not respond directly, but waited until Xiao Liyue had almost vented all his anger, and there was no other words to say except tears, so he took a step forward and directly took the person into his arms.
"I know that your heart is very uncomfortable, and you are unhappy for Wang Shuyi. But in a scene like that just now, instead of hitting it hard and not having a solution, it is better to take the lead in giving in and then find the most suitable method from it. ”
His voice was still so calm and calm, and when it fell into Xiao Liyue's ears, it gave people a soothing power.
Slowly patting her back, Xiao Chufang's voice became lighter and lighter: "Don't worry, I have already arranged everything." Whatever you want to protect, I will help you protect together. Because, you are the object I want to protect the most. ”
The warm words came into her heart, and Xiao Liyue's tears could no longer be hidden, so she fell down directly, like pearls with broken threads, one by one.
On the day of the execution, in order to make the two of them die more decently, the emperor finally adopted Xiao Liyue's advice and covered the heads of the two with a layer of black cloth, which can be regarded as giving the two the last trace of dignity.
As the big knife fell, blood seeped out of the black cloth, Xiao Liyue couldn't help but feel black in front of her, and fainted directly.
When she came to her senses, she opened her eyes and saw Wang Shuyi and Shen Xingliang, and couldn't help shouting, "Why did I come here too?" Could this be the legendary paradise? ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chumad directly broke into her sight.
Xiao Liyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then her face turned dark, and she yelled directly: "Xiao Chumad, why did you come down with you?" It's not that you want to be the emperor, so that all the people can live a good life. How can I lose my ideals and my life because of me? ”
As soon as her words fell, there were bursts of laughter around her.
Xiao Liyue immediately looked in that direction, and saw that Shuang'er was also by her side, her face was ruddy, and she didn't look like she was dead at all.
"What's going on? Am I not dead? Xiao Liyue's head kept turning, and she slowly stretched out her hand to reach out towards the body of the person in front of her.
When she touched the feeling of the entity, and the warm temperature, her heart was slightly relieved at that moment.
The afterglow swept over Wang Shuyi and the others on the side, and some doubts couldn't help but pop up in their minds: "Could it be that everything just now was just a dream?" I saw that the two of you had been beheaded for public display, so how could you be here intact? ”
"Which eye did you see them beheaded? It's useless to scare yourself out when you don't see anything. Xiao Chufang couldn't help but say a word of indulgence, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Liyue was about to refute, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she immediately blurted out: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, could it be that black cloth?" Isn't it said that those black cloths are used to blindfold their vision and give them the last shred of dignity? ”
Ideas kept emerging, Xiao Liyue slapped her palm directly, and understood all the facts at the moment.
"So the function of that black cloth is not to leave the last dignity for the two of them at all, but a trick you deliberately used?" Xiao Liyue's voice seemed a little excited, and she looked in the direction of Xiao Chufang, her eyes full of excitement.
Xiao Chu couldn't help but turn his face away, and deliberately said with an indifferent face: "It took so long to react, and I usually say that I am smart, but it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”
At this time, she was in no mood to quarrel with him at all, Xiao Liyue quickly came to the two of them, looked the two of them up and down, and made sure that there were indeed no scars on their bodies, so they were relieved.
Immediately, her face became gloomy again: "If the person covered by the black cloth is not the two of them, then who is it?" ”
Although she selfishly hoped that the two of them could escape, after all, they were people from the 21st century.
Naturally, he is much more sensitive to the equality of all people than he is to the people of this world.
The thought that the people who were replaced might be those innocent people, and the heart that had been a little happy just now became dull again.
Xiao Chufang, who had already seen her through, didn't know where to take out a glass of water and handed it directly to her: "Don't worry, those two substitutes are criminals who were just caught some time ago." They are all heinous death row inmates, and even if they don't die now, sooner or later they will be beheaded for public display. Letting them die now is still a pleasure to make. ”
After listening to Xiao Chufang's explanation, Xiao Liyue was completely relieved, and a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"This time I escaped death, thanks to the help of the fifth princess and the crown prince, I have fought against the two many times before, but it was not my intention. It was the mysterious man from eighteen years ago who kept guiding me to get the attention of both of you and using all his schemes to frame you. As for the rest, I really don't know anything and can't help much. Wang Shuyi, who had not made a sound, said slowly, and when the last word was spoken, her voice was already extremely weak.
