122. The curtain will finally come to an end
"Concubine Chun went to the Golden Pond Palace, do you want to go and see?" Jing Yue walked in from outside the courtyard, stood beside Jiang Wan, and took the small kettle in her hand.
Jiang Wan raised her eyelids, looked at Pinzhu, who was also hurrying to this side not far away, and said softly, "You don't have to go." โ
When her voice fell, Pinzhu had already arrived.
Jingyue said unhurriedly: "This flower is already the best pot in the imperial garden, but it still doesn't look so gorgeous, and it doesn't live up to the careful care of the mother." โ
As he spoke, he handed the scissors in his hand to Jiang Wan.
Pinzhu's eyes were rolling on the side, he didn't hear anything, and his expression was very unhappy.
Recently, Jiang Wan and Jingyue have always been elusive, although Jiang Wan is becoming more and more favored now, but the uneasiness in Pinzhu's heart is even stronger.
She felt that it was time for her princess to figure out who she was, now that the Guo family had fallen, everyone was in danger, and no one in the palace could overshadow her anymore, Dongshu waited for the same situation, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
No matter what her princess thought, Pinzhu felt that it was indeed time to deliver the news to Dongshu, and when Jiang Wan and Jingyue were busy with their own affairs, she also sent her first letter to Dajin.
The two pruned the flower branches and chatted from time to time, which sounded quite boring, Pinzhu didn't want to interject, and stood next to him for a while, Jiang Wan suddenly turned her face and said to her that she was a little thirsty, and asked her to bring a cup of herbal tea.
Staring at the back of Pinzhu walking away, Jiang Wan said quietly: "This little girl from Dongshu handed the letter back, guess. Who will Dongshu send to envoy Dajin? โ
Jingyue shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, what is the situation on Dongshu's side, we don't know very well." โ
Jiang Wan hooked the corners of her lips: "This girl loved a person's name before me, I listened, Song Yujiao's death, in addition to being related to the Empress Dongshu, and the son of Xuanjin, I am afraid it will not be able to get rid of it." โ
"Son Xuan Jin?" Jingyue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "What did Niangniang see in the memories left by Princess Dongshu?" โ
"It's more like a dream, although it's very real, but I can't guarantee that it really happened in Dongshu, be a vigilant, you have to be careful." Jiang Wan cut off the last flower leaf that didn't look good, "This son of Xuan Jin seems to be Song Yujiao's former lover, you say... If Dongshu sends an envoy this time, will it be this person? โ
Jingyue pondered for a moment: "I can't say, Niangniang has always kept Pinzhu's girl by her side, just waiting for the day when the Dongshu envoy came, and now this identity. It's convenient for us. โ
There is convenience, and there must be inconvenience.
She knows very little about Song Yujiao after all, and she can deter Pinzhu, firstly, because she has been by her side and has never seen the princess being dropped, so she firmly believes that the person in front of her is Song Yujiao, and secondly, her knowledge is not enough to support her. Song Yujiao's abnormality has a deeper insight, and can only be simply blamed on Song Yujiao leaving the Dongshu royal family, so she no longer hides her disgust and hatred for the Dongshu royal family, and as seen from the dream, Song Yujiao used to be a hot person, and after being cleaned up by Jingyue several times, Pinzhu was even more convinced that Song Yujiao wanted to break free from Dongshu's shackles by taking the identity of the concubine of the Great Jin Dynasty.
But now Song Yujiao's body is still planted with things for unknown reasons, and even this body has been delicate, which can be regarded as a bargaining chip in Pinzhu's hand to contain Song Yujiao for the Dongshu royal family.
Coupled with the son of Xuan Jin who used to threaten 'Song Yujiao' earlier, what Pinzhu would say in the letter sent back to Dongshu was as easy to guess as the emotions written on her face.
It is nothing more than an accusation that Song Yujiao seems to have the heart of betrayal and disobedience to the Dongshu royal family, and bought the maid of the Dajin Palace as a confidant, and now she seems to be turning a blind eye to her, a 'personal slave', I am afraid that in time, it will be completely out of the control of the Dongshu royal family, and the plan of the Dongshu royal family is about to collapse in the hands of Song Yujiao, what will the Dongshu emperor do, Jiang Wan is really curious.
There were many reasons why he did not cross the Huai River to attack Dongshu in one fell swoop.
Dongshu once sent troops to spy on the strength of Yingwan's army during the iteration of the Southern Huai Dynasty, but was beaten by the women's army of the righteous warrior and lost his armor, which can be described as an embarrassing defeat.
It was also that temptation that between Dongshu and Dajin, there was an indelible and erasable mustard.
A country that vainly tries to stab a knife in the back and reap the benefits of a fisherman is located north of Huaishui, coveting the fertile land of the Great Jin Dynasty day by day, and the peace that the two countries now maintain on the surface is the result of countless confrontations on the banks of the Huai River.
Jiang and Yiyongjue do not leave the Nine Immortals for a day, and Eagle Eye stares at Dongshu for a day, and the stable life of the subjects of the Great Jin Dynasty will always be guaranteed.
Although Shengjing is the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
But the Nine Immortals are the true heart of the Great Jin.
Always vibrant beating, guarding the mountains and rivers of Dajin.
The 'disease' in Song Yujiao's body is not incurable, Lu Ran has traveled south and north over the years, and has seen a lot, with him, he may be able to give Yin Zhengshan more ideas and ideas, but it is just a matter of time, Jiang Wan has confidence in them.
When Pinzhu came from the corner with tea, Jiang Wan and Jingyue had already tacitly agreed that they didn't talk about anything about Dongshu anymore, after a period of spring, it always had the breath of early summer, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Guizi's lazy cat was in the bushes under the steps of the corridor, Jiang Wan drank the tea and put it down, touched the small hydrangea on the side and threw it lightly, Xiao Guizi has been staring at Jiang Wan's movements, as soon as the hydrangea left his hand, it also jumped out of an arc in the air, pounced in the air, and the hydrangea rolled straight to the side of the little Fuzi who did not move in the hands of the group, provoked the little nobleman to stare for a while, and finally ran away in high spirits.
Such a lazy time can't last long.
Jiang Wan didn't plan to let people pick up the hydrangea, but only told Xiaofuzi to put the food box higher today, so he didn't move every day, he was so fat that he didn't look good, and he should always work hard when eating, so as to spoil it too much.
Because of Jiang Wan's words, Pinzhu also looked back at Xiao Fuzi, who was still motionless on the edge of the grass, several times.
Jiang Wan and Jing Yue had already entered the house halfway through before they followed.
Five days later.
The Guo clan was executed.
In the past five days, many people who have colluded with the Guo family have been killed one after another, and there are some Guo clansmen who have been involved by Guo Kun, separated by relatives three generations away, one person has been stained with Guo Kun's 'big tree', and the whole family will inevitably have the fate of beheading, and there are about hundreds of people in total, and the execution ground has not stopped being lively during this time.
From the very beginning, everyone came to see the freshness, and then the blood stained the execution table with color, and it could not be washed clean, and an inexplicable haze finally pressed into the hearts of all the subjects.
This time. The emperor was really angry.
The people below have killed so many, and the real core of the Guo family and their henchmen are still hundreds of people, Qi Ying deliberately set up the central square in Sheng Shangjing the day before to be executed.
Civil and military officials are indispensable.
The whole city can be watched.
Even Chu Miao, who knelt down in front of Qi Ying five days ago and asked to go to the national temple to pray for blessings, was forcibly detained until today, and all the concubines also had to accompany Qi Ying and come to witness together.
All people, all families, all the founding fathers, and the common people and traders who went south and north must clearly look at the fate of the Guo family today, and see what happened after murdering the emperor's heir and the queen, and after their ambitions were inflated.
Before heading to the central square, Jiang Wan went to see Guo Zhenzhen in person.
The corpses of Xingyue and Zhaoyuan were rotting and stenching tied to the tree, and no one came to collect the corpses.
Guo Zhenzhen opens and closes her eyes every day, and her mind is full of disgusting looks of these two people, thinking about it, the struggle, despair and tragedy before the death of the two, Guo Zhenzhen even dreamed. I can't forget it.
Seeing Jiang Wan again, her spirit was already a little abnormal.
But this time Jiang Wan brought the guards, and even if Guo Zhenzhen crawled wildly, she couldn't touch the corners of Jiang Wan's clothes.
She was tied up and gagged, Jiang Wan looked at her indifferently, and told her that now, at this moment, she was going to take her to see Guo Kun, to meet her mother and the clansmen.
Guo Zhenzhen's chaotic eyes finally became a little clearer, she gradually quieted down, looking a little more dazed and innocent, and even had a little ardent expectation in her eyes.
Alone in such a place, what she eats every day is the blue fish that she knows best how dirty and disgusting it is, and what she sees in front of her is the two people who used to be the closest to her, slowly rotting into corpses, no matter how strong a person is, no matter how stubborn a person is, under such a double impact, she can't help but go crazy.
But now that Jiang Wan has come to fulfill her promise, she said that she will take Guo Zhenzhen to see Guo Kun in a few days, and she will talk about it.
It can be regarded as a life-saving straw for Guo Zhenzhen, who is about to drown and break her nerves.
Jiang Wan slowly bent down to see Guo Zhenzhen's eyes clearly, and after half a sound, she laughed very softly: "I'll take you to watch a show later, if you can watch it obediently, this palace won't want your life." โ
Jiang Wan spoke very slowly, very slowly, to make sure that Guo Zhenzhen heard every word and understood it.
She's someone who doesn't lie.
As long as Guo Zhenzhen can finish reading, she will let her go.
Guo Zhenzhen obviously didn't have so much energy to think about what Jiang Wan's performance might be, she just wanted to leave this place quickly and go to a place where there were people and familiar faces.
No matter where it is, no matter what Jiang Wan says, at this moment, she can only nod her head and agree, where is there still a little bit of arrogance and arrogance when she was just imprisoned in the Anhui Palace.
was blindfolded and taken into the prison car, and Guo Zhenzhen could only rely on her hearing to identify her surroundings.
She could probably hear the sound of many carriages moving together, the speed was not fast, mixed with the sound of opening the heavy palace door several times, the wind was blowing on her body, the sun was shining on her face, Guo Zhenzhen suddenly put her face between the gaps in the wooden fence of the prisoner car, wanting to feel the scorching heat of the sun more clearly.
They seem to be heading out of the palace.
The sound of the wind in my ears gradually turned into a noisy sound from far and near.
When the boiling voice poured into her ears, the prisoner car under Guo Zhenzhen's feet suddenly shook, and then the chains were pulled with a bang, and she was dragged by two guards, dragging her unconscious lower body, towards a higher platform.
The sounds around her gradually converged into a feeling of encircling her, she seemed to be in a very high, central place, she could feel that she was surrounded by thousands of people, their voices sounded far away, and because there were too many loud, even... You can also feel the smell of blood in the oncoming wind.
A bad premonition gradually came to Guo Zhenzhen's heart along the way.
At this moment, it finally climbed to the top.
Maybe it was because of the breeze, or maybe it was because of the sun, Guo Zhenzhen only felt that the temperature falling on her body made her shiver even colder.
The head, which had just been unable to think, finally turned again.
The black cloth on his eyes was quickly torn off.
The dazzling light made Guo Zhenzhen unable to adapt, and instantly forced out two teardrops, which flowed down her cheeks, and were quickly evaporated by the sun.
When she was finally able to open her eyes and see the scene in front of her clearly, Guo Zhenzhen found that her hunch was right.
She was indeed on a very high platform, located at the center point, in the middle of the front, and the few people tied up in front were Guo Kun, her mother Yang, and several of her brothers and sisters who Jiang Wan promised her to meet.
And the people who knelt in several rows in the back were the clansmen of the Guo family, as well as Guo Kun's relatives and family.
The officers and soldiers surrounded the middle group and formed a circle, and outside the circle, almost the whole city rushed to watch the scene of such a grand and terrifying execution.
Guo Zhenzhen turned her head stiffly.
She was in a position that was not on the edge of this high platform, and the person sitting next to her was Jiang Wan.
Looking at the past one by one, they are all familiar faces, all the concubines in the harem are all sitting in this position in turn, looking at her with complicated expressions, many of them are gray-faced, they have never seen such a battle, and before they started, they were already frightened and uncomfortable.
A little in front of the concubines' position was Qi Ying's dragon chair, Guo Zhenzhen could only see his slightly exposed shoulders and side face, he didn't even look back at himself, or rather, he didn't want to see himself at all.
On the lower platform to the left and right of the high platform, it is full of today's civil and military generals.
Guo Zhenzhen also saw a very familiar face.
Jiang Yu was at the head of the civil officials, and at this time, too, was looking at her position.
Behind Jiang Ying, Jiang Tingye, Ming Yuechen, and even Shen Linglong and Yibo all came together.
The head of the military attache on the other side was sitting Qi Dao, and Guo Zhenzhen even saw Lu Ran, who was specially seated next to Qi Dao.
She suddenly understood what Jiang Wan's 'performance' was.
She called this a performance, insulting the Guo family like a clown on the beam, singing a song, and finally the curtain call.
The execution came faster than Guo Zhenzhen had imagined.
Guo Kun and the Yang family below had obviously already seen Guo Zhenzhen on the high platform.
When the three of them looked at each other, Guo Zhenzhen was finally afraid, regretted, and collapsed.
Her tears could no longer be restrained from falling, but the more fierce she fell, the more she couldn't see Guo Kun and Yang's faces clearly, she could only blink desperately, and finally couldn't help the painful and desperate whimper in her throat.
The desperate roar from her throat could not reach so far below, and could only be heard by the concubines on the high platform, Concubine Qing was already so frightened that she stopped leaning over and dragging her sleeveless arm and chanting words in her mouth, Chu Miao was even more pale, holding a handkerchief, staring at Guo Zhenzhen with a pair of eyes, and even forgot to blink an eye.
Guo Zhenzhen couldn't hear what Guo Kun and Yang were shouting at her below.
But the moment the 'chopping' in Qi Ying's hand was thrown down, Guo Zhenzhen clearly saw the butcher's knife in the executioner's hand, shining in the sun.
Her eyes widened, almost tearing her own sockets.
A row of heads were chopped off, blood splattered and sprayed on the backs of several people tied to the stakes.
Finally, the cries drowned out the execution scene below.
Guo Zhenzhen suddenly felt a buzzing in her ears, as if she had lost her deafness in an instant, and she could only see her round head, which fell in all directions.
She suddenly turned her face and kowtowed in the direction between Jiang Wan and Qi Ying.
Each blow was firm and loud, as if it was about to smash a hole in the forehead to relieve the pain of despair in my heart at the moment.
It's a pity that such a scene can only deter the subjects and concubines for a long time, and it can't shake the heart of the emperor and queen.
The heads of the kneeling hundred people were finally cut off.
The guards picked up their heads one by one, placed them in front of them, and stacked them into a hill.
Guo Zhenzhen stopped kowtowing, because she heard that she had been shocked into the silent square, and shouted: "Execute the Guo sinner!" โ
She turned her face, and at this moment, she suddenly heard every heart-rending cry clearly.
In her mind, the scene she saw when she had accompanied Jiang Wan to the front line of the battlefield suddenly flashed.
Jiang Wan was like this at that time, with a sword going down, flesh and blood flying.
She killed like a sea of blood.
At that time, Guo Zhenzhen remembered that she had told herself in her heart that following the person in front of her would never become the enemy of the sword in her hand.
She was clearly on the right path.
When did she lose the beliefs she once held on to protecting herself and her family?
Now, the blood-stained sword was aimed at her heart, and she would be like those enemies who were cut down by Jiang Wan under her horse, with nowhere to escape, and she would definitely die!
Guo Kun was tortured to split the car, Yang was tortured to Ling Chi, and the remaining brothers and sisters were put on the fire and were about to die in the flames.
The miserable howl in his ears was just a trembling fear to others, and to Guo Zhenzhen, it was a knife that cut flesh one after another.
She had nothing left.
Jiang Wan said that as long as she reads it, let her live.
But what else can she live?
Guo Kun's body was torn apart in front of her eyes, Yang's flesh and blood were cut apart one by one, and the last string in Guo Zhenzhen's mind finally broke completely.
She was gagged, unable to scream, her hands tied, and she could not prostrate.
But it hurts, it hurts, it's too painful, in front of her is her infernal purgatory, and just a stone's throw away, is the high platform of her atonement.
Guo Zhenzhen used her head to smash on the ground one by one, supporting her body to squirm, and moved to the edge of the high platform.
From her angle, she could just see Qi Ying's face and Jiang Wan sitting behind Qi Ying.
Guo Zhenzhen only glanced at it, then poked her head out and her body. The whole person fell from the high platform.
She turned into a bloody streak with a muffled sound.
The light in front of me was fleeting, and it seemed to come from the past.
ยท
In the sunlight, she seemed to see a hand, and the woman walking towards her smiled and looked forward to it.
"Follow me."
The voice was very gentle.
But this time, she couldn't hold it anymore.
