When I got up early in the morning, I felt the slightest coolness, and when I opened the window, it turned out to be raining. The sky was semi-bright, but the hue was not as bright as when the sun was shining, nor as oppressive as when the clouds were overshadowing. It is too white if it is increased by one point, and it is too dark if it is subtracted by one point. The mist shrouded the earth, like a layer of white veil, faint, and only a few bleak branches seemed to have white buds blooming. I looked at it with a blank eye, and it turned out that it was secretly covered with white and crystal frost flowers.

Jianning's face last night was vivid, I was stunned, I hurriedly put on a splendid robe, and called Ju Xiang and said, "Ju Xiang, I want to go out." ”

Ju Xiang quickly opened the door and came in, and while waiting for me to wash, she asked, "Where is the second lady going when she gets up so early in the morning?" ”

I said anxiously, "You forgot? ”

Ju Xiang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What about the princess?" ”

I nodded and said, "I'm going to the execution ground." ”

Ju Xiang had a worried look on her face, "Second Miss, have you thought about it?" Are you really going there? ”

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ju Xiang wanted to speak and stopped.

I looked at her and said, "You say! The tone was very anxious.

Ju Xiang bowed her head and said: "The execution ground is a special place for beheading, it is very dirty, the second lady is clean, so don't go." ”

I pouted and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, the princess will go, I'll go." ”

Ju Xiang stared at me and said earnestly, "If the second lady must go, then let the slave accompany the second lady." ”

I thought about it, shook my head, and said, "No need, you stay here." ”

I quickly packed up and quietly walked out of the Yunnan Palace, and the road leading to the execution ground was already crowded with people, and I was surrounded by water. I was shocked. Everyone is squeezing me, I squeezing you, holding my neck high and wanting to take a look, or send a gift to the prince of Yunnan who is about to be beheaded.

After a bang, Wu Yao was escorted to the prisoner car, and the prison officer was actually Lord Rong, he rode a brown-red healthy horse to open the way in front, walking hesitantly, without a trace of anger on his face, his back seemed to be stiffly propped on the back of the horse, such a look, anyone could see his helplessness and reluctance at this time.

It was followed by two rows of soldiers, who were hugging the prisoner cart. Many onlookers around, some with solemn faces, some swearing, and some don't know why...... "Look! It turns out that this is the prince of Yunnan! Arms grabbed and pushed each other, eyes scrambling to snatch, and his voice burst out with a sharp sigh, "I never knew that the prince of Yunnan was such a jade tree in the wind, no wonder he was able to marry a princess!" ”

"As soon as the prince of Yunnan dies, won't the princess have to be widowed?"

"What are you worried about for the princess, there are so many princes and nobles up and down, are you still afraid that no one wants a princess?"

Your words, my words, really make me creepy. Maybe Luo Xi also planned for Jianning in this way, but he forgot that Jianning was a living person in the end, and for her, this kind of plan was a grievance, a shame, and something she couldn't accept at all.

Wu Yao stood quietly in the prison car, wearing a miserable white prison clothes, his hands and feet were tightly chained, and in just one night, he had already become haggard. I could vaguely see the scars on his body through the white of his prison clothes, and I couldn't imagine what kind of hellish torture he had endured last night.

His eyes were faint, looking into the distance without concern, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him, it was obvious that the clothes on his body and the sideburns on his head had all been deliberately tidied up, perhaps to cover up the tragic death that happened last night, and perhaps to make Wu Yao, the prince of Yunnan, walk more decently...... I was thinking to myself, when suddenly a terrible and terrifying cry came from the crowd opposite: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm coming!" Wait a minute! ”

Wu Yao's eyebrows trembled, and he turned back to look for the place where the voice came from, and the moment his lonely eyes touched the person in front of him, he suddenly became sad, and shouted: "Lord Rong, wait a minute!" ”

The carriage and horses stopped, in the chaos, my eyes also followed the familiar voice in the opposite crowd search, Jian Ning was dressed in a moon-white plain gauze robe, wearing a silver hairpin between his temples, the hollow pattern was still shining in the faint sunlight and exuding a clear glow-colored luster, three thousand green silk were scattered, the cold wind blew, and the sideburns danced with the wind, which was really as beautiful as a fairy. I know that Jianning was deliberately dressed like this to see Wu Yao off for the last time.

When Lord Rong saw this scene, he didn't even know what to do, waved his long sleeves, stepped off the horse, walked quickly to Jianning's side, and saluted: "How can the princess come to such a place, please go back!" ”

After a commotion around them, they looked at each other, and when they heard that it was the "princess", they all knelt down.

Jian Ning stared at Master Rong resolutely, moving with emotion, "Rong Ruo, you and I can be regarded as acquaintances," the tone was poignant, "Now that my husband is going to die for the world, can't I even see him for the last time?" ”

Lord Rong said in a low voice: "But if Your Majesty investigates it......"

Before Master Rong finished speaking, Jian Ning had already interrupted: "If the third brother investigates it, I will bear it with all my might." ”

Lord Rong frowned, sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, please speak quickly and don't miss the hour." ”

Jian Ning squinted at Lord Rong, "Are you afraid that the third brother is so afraid?" He sneered, "It was, and it is." ”

Lord Rong did not answer, but only bowed respectfully, stepped back, and rode back on his horse.

Jian Ning approached the prisoner car, his eyes were like a puddle of autumn water, "Wu Yao, I'm here to see you off, I must let you know my heart." ”

Wu Yao knelt down on the prisoner car, instinctively approached Jianning, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "Princess, why are you doing this, this kind of place is not where you should come." ”

Jian Ning stared at Wu Yao with tears in his eyes, and shook his head stubbornly, "No! No! Listen to me, I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a branch in the earth, I will only be your concubine in this life, whether I live or die, I will only be your concubine, the ends of the earth, unswerving, where you go, I will go with you, do you understand? ”

Wu Yao's face was almost against the wooden fence, and he said anxiously: "Life and death are not child's play, my life should be like this, I can't escape after all, for the safety of the world, I can only sacrifice my own life, my death is heavier than Mount Tai, but the princess doesn't have to, the princess must cherish herself for me, otherwise what is the point of my sacrifice?" ”

The tears in Jianning's eyes could no longer be contained, and they burst out like a spring, "Do you know that for me, life is more painful than death, why don't you let me be liberated and go with you?" ”

A dark color oozed from Wu Yao's eyes, "Because you still have your mission, you can't escape like this." ”

Jian Ning choked up and said, "I don't care!" What about the people in the world, what about the misery of life, you and I are not in the same place, my life will be an urn of ashes. Why should I bear this? ”

Wu Yao looked at Jian Ning deeply, "If you think like this, my sacrifice will be meaningless." ”

Jian Ning held Wu Yao's hand, trembled and said, "Then you don't want to die, you take me away and walk to a place where no one knows us." ”

Wu Yao shook his head slightly, stared at Jian Ning, and said softly, "No." ”

Jian Ning lowered his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, since you can't answer me and grow old with me, then you don't care if I want to die with you." ”

Wu Yao shook his head violently, and as soon as he opened his lips, Lord Rong on horseback glanced at the light of the sun, his eyebrows trembled slightly, he pulled the reins, and roared, "Soldier!" Pull the princess down! The escort team continues to move forward! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded, rushed towards Jianning in a sonorous manner, and dragged her behind by the arms of Jianning. Jian Ning struggled, and the soldiers saw that the person in front of them was a princess and a red face, and they were probably timid or pitiful for a while, but they didn't dare to kill him, so they let Jian Ning break free, chasing after the prisoner car and shouting, "Wu Yao, I haven't finished talking yet, in the past three years...... Pen and ink Danqing ......"

Wu Yao looked back and responded sadly: "Princess, don't say it again, I know what you want to say...... Live for a lifetime, to be able to win the favor of the princess, Wu Yao died without regrets, "stopped, the voice gradually declined, and could only be heard, "Go back......" Until the end, even a faint sound was covered by the sound of the crowd, the wind, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of rollers.

I followed the crowd to the end of the platform, where the executioner had already sharpened the blade in his hand and waited with a blank face. My heart has never been so tense as it is now, and it is even more sad as ashes, because even if I have witnessed death, it is still difficult to calm down when I face it again. This feeling is timeless. The tip of my nose was sore, my throat was dry, and my eye sockets were warm.

It seemed that someone slapped me from behind, and I turned around sharply, and it was a vicissitude. He was dressed in a cloud-colored dark veined robe, with a dark ribbon tied around his waist, on which several delicate auspicious clouds were embroidered with silver thread, a white jade hairpin was tied in a bun, and his sideburns were gently raised.

The grievances and fears at the tip of my heart spurted into my forehead, and I threw myself into his arms, burying my face deep in his chest, and the quiet and distant smell of water and agarwood on his body made me feel inexplicably at ease.

"Wait!"

A delicate cry with a firm voice instantly pulled me back to the reality I didn't want to face.

Jian Ning walked to the guillotine step by step, knelt lightly beside Wu Yao, and said with a smile: "I'm here." ”

Wu Yao looked at Jianning mournfully, "You go." "The two words of transience and lightness hide the emotion of embracing all rivers.

Jianning was as gentle as water, "I'll accompany you, isn't it?" "I was also surprised, because I had never seen Jianning so tender, when she was with Rong in the past, she was coquettish, shy, and scorching, but she was never so tender as water in front of her.

Wu Yao shook his head silently, "I don't want you to see my head in a different place, do you understand?" ”

Jian Ning smiled and nodded, "I understand." But you have to wait for me. After saying that, she turned her head, followed the way she came, and left with a smile.

I frowned and said, "How can the princess and her brother be so calm in the face of death?" ”

Cangyang sighed: "The matter has come to this, what can you do if it is not calm?" ”

I regretted: "It doesn't look like going down to the Yellow Spring, it clearly looks like a seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

Cangyang's eyelashes fell slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at me, "Xu is like this?" Who knows what it's like outside the world? ”

I stared at the vicissitudes in a daze, yes, what should it be like outside the world?

As he was walking, the sound of gongs and drums in the distance suddenly sounded, reminding everyone that noon had arrived.

There seemed to be a flash of golden light in my mind, and I couldn't wait for the knife to fall, so I hurriedly pushed it and said in a panic: "It's broken!" Princess! ”
