203: Farewell to Heaven and Man
"I'm sorry, General Ben's saber is not holding steadily." Wei Shangqing stared at the two and said gloomily.
Seeing his father like this, Wei Baiye stretched out his hand and touched it, but the saber on his waist was nowhere to be found. The sword in my father's hand was his.
The two succumbed to the pressure of Wei Shangqing, and did not stop them anymore.
Yu Ziyu ran towards the falling head, Xu was too eager to get closer, and Bai Yang's severed head rolled down the winding blood to Yu Ziyu. The others couldn't help but turn their heads and retch, but she fell to her knees, her hands trembling uncontrollably, and reached out to pick up the severed head. There were wounds at the corners of her mouth, at the corners of her eyebrows, and on her face......
The scene was chaotic for a while, and she couldn't scream in her throat. Holding Bai Yang's severed head, her eyes ...... Before she could close it, a shallow smile still hung on her lips.
Her body trembled, and her trembling hand gently covered Bai Yang's eyes and closed them for her. The smell of blood is terrible, but her friend died in front of her, and the severed head is in her hands, how can she accept this? How do she accept this?
Bai Yang is dead......
She really died, and her pulse didn't beat anymore, not even her head...... It was impossible to return to her.
Why was the criminal law of the ancients so cruel?
She held the severed head without disgust, muttered slurred words in her mouth, and the blood from the broken neck flowed onto her cigarette and flower dress, and she still held her in her arms. Bai Yang, it's me who is not good, as the master, I failed to protect you.
Her smoke and water flower dress was selected for her by Bai Yang himself, but she didn't expect Sima Mansion to say goodbye, and goodbye was goodbye.
"Ah......" Yu Ziyu was heartbroken, blood flowed through her fingers, condensed into drops on her fingers, dripped to the ground, and rolled up the dust. The touch on your hands is sticky, thick......
"Ziyu ......" Wei Shangqing looked at the painful Wei Ziyu, not knowing how to comfort her, and Yu Kexin and Wei Baiye were even more at a loss. Zhongli Bojun sat at the desk and looked at the depressed Wei Ziyu distressedly.
Zhongli Bojun knew that there was an unbridgeable gap between him and Wei Ziyu, and it was he who killed Bai Yang. If Shangguan Tinghan hadn't been injured, Bai Yang wouldn't have gone to Weiyang City with him, and then the person who died now wouldn't have been Bai Yang.
He couldn't understand Yu Ziyu's feelings for Bai Yang, but he could see that Yu Ziyu's sky had collapsed at this time.
The onlookers looked at Wei Ziyu, who was holding the severed head and crying, and did not say any more gossip about Fang Cai, and even many people were infected by her tears, and followed her with tears, but no one could understand her sadness.
They are just outsiders, crying only for others to cry, not knowing why others are crying.
There were hidden spectators from all sides in the crowd, and when they saw Bai Yang's head fall to the ground, they looked at Wei Ziyu kneeling in blood at the execution ground, shook their heads, and turned to leave.
Sima Wanqin hid in the crowd, and Zhongli Boqian slowly walked from the crowd, and at this time he had changed back into his original outfit. He walked up to Wei Ziyu and stretched out his cuffs to wipe away her tears: "I'm sorry,...... Cough...... Bo Qian was late and failed to save Bai Yang, and Bo Qian blamed himself very much. ”
He originally thought that he would take the secret guards to rob the execution ground, and then send them away and leave the Great Qi Dynasty from then on.
But he was still late, just a small step late. If...... He didn't touch the scene, he didn't immerse himself in the sadness of the past, he could have discovered Koharu outside the hall earlier, and Bai Yang would not have died.
It's his fault, it's him who missed the best time.
Wei Ziyu didn't answer him, still bowing his head and sobbing. She didn't want to speak, she didn't want to face this cruel world. Her head was groggy, and many images flashed in her mind that she had never seen before.
Yu Ziyu stood in the yard feeding the koi in the clear pond, and Heiyue stood aside with fish to eat. Bai Yang jumped down from the fence, half-knelt in front of him, and said something to himself.
Wei Ziyu remembered himself when he was a child, and met a little girl in a wilderness.
His head was stimulated by a sudden memory, and Wei Ziyu was dizzy. The memories in her mind followed, and she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, how could she fight a hundred people alone? How did she make it so easy to jump into the treetops? How did she ......
"Impossible......" Wei Ziyu shook his head, picked up Bai Yang's severed head, and stumbled to his feet.
"Impossible...... That's not ...... me."
"Ziyu ......" Zhong Li Boqian muttered to himself when he saw that she was like a demon. hurriedly ran to the execution ground and picked up Bai Yang's body.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers on the execution ground hurriedly stopped: "No, Your Highness the Seven. ”
"Get out of ......" Zhongli Boqian glared at him angrily: "You have the ability to cough up...... Go to your father to crusade against His Royal Highness, Bai Yang is a friend of His Royal Highness, why wouldn't His Highness ...... Cough...... Able to take her corpse. ”
"This ......"
"Let them go!"
Seeing this, Sima Shangshu hurriedly reassured Zhongli Boqian, the body of this prisoner was originally to be claimed, and if no one came to claim it, they would have to dispose of the body in a mass grave.
The officer and soldier didn't mean anything else, just thinking that he was the high-ranking Seventh Prince, how could his hands be dirty by the corpse of the prisoner? Since His Royal Highness the Seventh and Sima Shangshu said so, he had nothing to stop.
Zhongli Bojun froze in place, looking at the sad and sad Wei Ziyu, but it was difficult to soothe him.
Zhong Liyun, who was hiding in the distance, hooked the corners of his lips, my good second brother, this is more painful than letting you die, right? Pity...... It's a pity that the third brother can't understand your feelings in this life.
Yu Ziyu hugged Bai Yang's severed head, crying as he walked, walking crookedly, as if he had drunk a lot of wine. Crying like a child, like a little child who is lost at an intersection and doesn't know what to do. People made way for her, and she walked in the middle of the crowd, her back looking so thin. Zhongli Boqian followed behind her with Bai Yang's body in his arms, silently accompanying her.
Seeing this, Captain Bai Ye and Yu Kexin hurriedly asked Captain Bai Ye and Yu Kexin to follow her.
The two of them went one after the other, and the blood dripped all the way. Yu Ziyu dragged his tired body and walked all the way like a headless fly, but he didn't know where he should go. Bai Yang is gone, and she doesn't know where she should go.
In the end, Wei Ziyu couldn't hold it up and fell on an unknown path. Bai Yang's severed head rolled into the distance, adding many new wounds to the scarred face.
Before Zhongli Boqian could react, Wei Shangqing ran up to help her, and Wei Kexin picked up Bai Yang's severed head.
"His Royal Highness Lao Fu and Zai Xia will return to the Captain's Mansion together,...... Everyone knows that Ziyu is the second lady of the Wei Mansion, and she should come back to live. "Captain Shangqing looked very serious, and there was no joke in the slightest.
Zhongli Boqian was stunned and nodded clearly.
……
Wei Ziyu was in a coma for two days and showed no signs of waking up. Wei Shangqing set up a mourning hall for Baiyang and invited senior monks to overtake it. After Zhong Li Boqian followed suit, Wei Shangqing mentioned his condition many times, and Zhong Li Boqian always smiled so that he didn't have to worry. He wanted to do what he could for Bai Yang, even if he couldn't make up for her.
When Bai Yang was still there, she was the only outsider in the Xianwang Mansion who knew about his city mansion, and they were also good friends, although they couldn't compare to her affection with Wei Ziyu......
Jun Yanyu hurried and finally returned to the city, but heard the news that Bai Yang had confessed to the law. The drag marks on his back had already scabbed, and before he could even change his clothes, he ran to the captain's mansion.
Wei Shangqing knew Bai Yang's place in her heart, and he wanted to do something for Wei Ziyu, so he specially bought a good coffin and hung a white lantern outside the mansion. No matter how unreasonable and weird all this looked, Wei Shangqing still did it in the face of everyone's discussion.
Before Jun Yanyu saw Bai Yang's mourning hall, he was still lucky, and he didn't believe it was true. Until the coffin was opened, Bai Yang'an lay quietly in the coffin, with a change of clean clothes on his body, but the wound on his face was still obvious, and there was a long red mark on his neck that spread to the back of his neck. He put his hand into the coffin, wanting to hold Bai Yang's face, but he was afraid to see her severed head. He couldn't accept it, so he went out for a few days, and his beloved was lying here.
"Yanyu...... Cough...... Elder brother. Zhongli Boqian walked up to him: "Yes...... Ahem...... Not great. ”
"I don't blame you......" Jun Yanyu lowered her head and sobbed: "I really don't blame you...... If you want to blame those people, they move too fast. ”
Jun Yanyu raised her head, her eyes blurred: "Your Highness the Seventh, don't blame yourself too much. ”
He knew that Zhongli Boqian was under house arrest by the emperor in the Qingxian Palace, and he knew that everyone had their own last resort. He can't complain about His Royal Highness the Seventh, he can't complain about the virtuous king, and he can't complain about the vain life.
Xiao Chun slowly walked behind Zhongli Boqian and muttered, "His Royal Highness the Seventh went out of the palace without permission while facing the wall, and the emperor announced that you would be punished for entering the palace." You have been in the Governor's Mansion for two days, and the emperor said that today is your deadline, and if you don't enter the palace again, the emperor will come to the Captain's Mansion to arrest you in person. ”
"Ahem......" Zhongli Boqian patted Jun Yanyu's shoulder, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the shocking scar on his back: "Yanyu, you are ......"
"I accidentally fell off my horse while I was out." Jun Yanyu covered up the fact that she went to find the Delusional Sect, this is the Governor's Mansion, and there are many people.
"Take care of yourself." Zhongli Boqian went to the front hall to bid farewell to Captain Shangqing, and then followed Xiaochun into the palace.
On the Imperial Palace within the high walls of the palace, Zhong Liyue's complaint of hatred for iron and steel sounded: "You rebel, give me a good fight, and you have beaten forty boards." ”
Zhongli Boqian didn't answer, endured the slight itch in his throat, gritted his teeth and lay on the torture bench.
The big board fell on his body in two, and he stopped shouting like usual, which made Zhongli more and more shocked. Zhong Liyi heard that Zhong Li Boqian was beaten by his father, so he hurriedly ran to the Imperial Palace to stop the executioner. He pounced on Zhongli Boqian, and pleaded with Zhongli Yue: "Father, the seventh brother was released by Yi'er, if you want to be punished, let Yi'er be punished for him!" ”
"Yi'er, get out of the way."
"Father, you see that the seventh brother has been beaten silently by you, if he was a child, he bumped into it and didn't cry for three days and three nights. If you continue to fight, you will cripple him. "Zhong Liyi and Zhong Liboqian's affection is still six years ago.
"This ......" Zhong Liyue had indeed discovered Zhong Li's abnormality a long time ago.
"By the way, Father, the seventh brother occasionally felt cold, and coughed up blood when he left the palace, you still beat him like this, where can his body still stand it?"
"What?" Zhongli was shocked, and hurriedly called the executioner to stop and stepped forward to check on Zhongli Boqian's injuries.
Zhong Li Boqian, who was lying on the torture bench, raised his eyes slightly, looking at Zhong Liyue's concerned eyes, he closed his eyes tired, and then lowered his head.
"Someone, Doctor Xuan, move fast."
Seeing this, Zhong Liyi hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhong Liyue: "Father, are you okay?" ”
"I ...... Hit Qian'er. Zhong Liyue's eyes were full of remorse, why didn't he cry or make trouble? Why didn't he say anything? Seeing him injured, why didn't Zhong Liyue's heart hurt? Before Concubine Xian left, she didn't say a word.
"Come on, help the emperor go up and rest."
Zhong Liyi and his subordinates placed Zhongli Boqian in the Qingxian Palace, after the imperial doctor came to see it, Zhong Liyi took care of it, and he and Zhongli Boqian had a good relationship since childhood. When he first met Boqian, he was very timid and afraid of life. If it weren't for the occasional minions secretly bullying him, Zhong Liyi might not be able to figure out why Zhong Liboqian was timid at that time for the rest of his life.
The people sent by the queen mother followed him, but they couldn't persuade him back.
"Sixth Highness, please go to the Joan of Arc Hall with the slave maid to see the queen mother, otherwise the mother will pick the skin of the slave and maid."
"You didn't see ......" Zhong Liyi, who wanted to be angry, saw Zhong Li Boqian on the couch with his eyes closed, and he was afraid that he would make a noise, so he endured it and ordered the maids and servants around him: "Whoever dares to slack off will be executed immediately." ”
The maids and minions were shocked by his eyes and took a few steps back in fright. Although these Seven Highnesses are a wreck, there are many people who care about him, and they naturally dare not slack off.
Zhong Liyi followed the slave maid to the Joan of Arc Palace, and when Queen Qiao Zhen saw him, she hurriedly greeted him: "Yi'er, you are here." ”
"What's the matter with the Queen Mother?"
"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"
"But the queen mother, Boqian is still sick, and he was beaten by his father more than 20 big boards, and now his body is extremely weak......"
"What does that have to do with you?" Qiao Zhen's cold tone interrupted him: "Why are you willing to take care of a stranger, and refuse to come to see your queen mother from time to time? ”
"Boqian, he is sick, can you distinguish the priorities of the queen mother? Bo Qian, he is my brother......"
"In this palace, this palace is your only relative, and you only have one sister, and she is already married."
"Queen Mother......" Zhong Liyi knew his mother's thoughts, but he ...... It seems that she can't be as ruthless as her. He really wanted to return to Gurong City, return to General Wei, and guard the frontier with him. He would rather suffer from flesh and skin than stay in this cold and unforgiving palace.
"Yi'er, remember, they are all your enemies."
"Queen Mother......" Zhong Liyi was too lazy to refute, the Queen Mother is such a strong person, and she likes to go her own way.
……
In the Weifu, Jun Yanyu sat by Bai Yang's coffin until late at night.
Wei Shangqing sent away the Junshangshu couple who came to visit the Wei Mansion, and went to the mourning hall with Wei Baiye and Wei Kexin. They didn't know why Jun Gongzi stayed by the coffin and refused to leave, but now they understand that the lovers in the mourning hall are now separated forever.
