Chapter 188: The Pearl of the Law

Mu Ziyue asked Yue Yu for permission and let her out of prison to give Mu Fumen a final send-off. [No pop-ups. 】

The prisoner car escorted Mu Ziyue out of Dali Temple and walked all the way to the entrance of the vegetable market.

Along the way, all the shops were closed, and there was no one to see on the street, so everyone went to the vegetable market to see the excitement, so it was extremely deserted all the way down

Mu Ziyue's cold eyes looked at the road ahead fixedly, and there was no expression on her face, even when she finally arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, looked at the prisoners in that place, and saw that her parents and brother were about to die under the knife, her face did not make waves again

It was getting closer and closer to noon, and the crowd of onlookers was very excited, but the condemned prisoners kneeling in the venue were crying even more, they were afraid, unwilling, and did not want to die, but at this time, who could save them

Mu Xiang's face was dull, and he had grown old into a dying old man overnight, and his whole body had lost all his vitality; And Mrs. Mu, who was kneeling on his left, also had a dead face, and the description on her face no longer had her usual shrewd appearance, kneeling there in prison clothes, her body was slumped. has long lost the sharp scenery of Mrs. Xiangfu; And Mu Ziyang, who was kneeling on the other side, had a flickering fear in his eyes, his eyes didn't dare to look at the Sen Leng big knife in the hand of the executioner next to him, his whole body trembled violently like chaff, and he looked extremely afraid of death, and his eyes were panicked

All this was seen in the eyes of Mu Ziyue on the prisoner car at the corner of the street

She watched her dearest relatives kneeling on the torture table with empty and numb eyes, and the only remaining eye seemed to be looking at her elderly parents, and as if she was looking at the nothingness in front of her

In the end, the cold Mu Ne's gaze finally fell on Mu Lingzhi's body.

Although separated by a distance, Mu Lingzhi still felt her gaze. He looked up and met Mu Ziyue's eyes, and the moment they looked at each other, Mu Ziyue suddenly smiled at him extremely gracefully

She was dressed in a prison uniform, her hair was messy, she was blind in one eye on her face, and her broken eyeballs were exposed, which was very terrifying. His face was also as pale as a ghost, but he tried his best to smile at Mu Lingzhi!

Mu Lingzhi didn't expect her to come, but at this moment, thinking of what she had done, he had no friendship with her, and he didn't hate her, but there was just a trace of pity left.

He looked at Mu Ziyue, who was now neither a human nor a ghost, and didn't understand how the ladies he knew well had become a terrible and vicious woman today.

At this time, the people at the entrance of the vegetable market also found Mu Ziyue, and couldn't help crying fiercely at the scorpion-hearted woman in front of them, with the cursing sound in the sky, Mu Xiang and Mrs. Mu on the torture platform, and Mu Ziyang also saw Mu Ziyue in the prisoner car, and suddenly, the expressions of the three of them froze.

How cruel is it to watch your loved ones have their heads cut off and die in front of you?

Mrs. Mu once told her in the prison that she must not come to the execution ground, and she must not come to see the tragic situation of their beheading. But unexpectedly, she still came.

Thinking that once today passed, he would be dead, and she would be the only one left, and Mu Xiang was also grief-stricken. Thinking of tomorrow, she had to accept the more painful punishment of splitting the corpses of the five horses, and it was even more painful, and she couldn't help but shout at Mu Ziyue with the last bit of strength: "Daughter, you go back, you go back, don't be here, go back quickly"

Mu Ziyue in the prison car looked at her parents. There were already blood and tears in his heart, but his face was so calm that there was no wave, and there was not a single tear from the corner of his eyes.

She knelt down in the prison car, snorted her head three times on the torture platform, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, her voice was crisp and sweet like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and said word by word: "Daddy, mother, brother, the unfilial daughter Xiaoyue is here to send you on your last journey, you go all the way."

With that, she kept her head in the direction of the torture platform until noon. Mu Lingzhi threw down the beheading order, and she stopped snorting, staring wide at the steel knife in the executioner's hand and slashing at the neck of her parents and brother

The thin spurt of blood, the head that rolled to the ground, the blood that meandered into a river, and the familiar faces that didn't close their eyes until they died, were carved into Mu Ziyue's heart one by one

In the garden, Chunhua opened the window, helped Yu Ruyan to sit down in front of the windowsill, pointed to the new branches drawn from the peach tree outside the window, and said happily: "Master, you see, spring is coming, and the peach trees are growing new shoots!" ”

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly remembered that the master of her own family was obviously invisible now, but she mentioned this, didn't it make her sad.

She hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, but was stopped by Yu Ruyan.

Yu Ruyan smiled indifferently and said, "The cold winter has finally passed. As soon as spring comes, not only is the weather getting warmer and warmer, everything is recovering, and the scenery is also beautiful. I can't see with my eyes, so I'll have to work hard for you two to tell me more about the nice things. ”

When the two maids heard this, their hearts swelled with sadness, and Qiu Yue couldn't help but persuade: "The master's eyes will be fine, didn't Prince Yi say it, he will definitely help the master cure his eyes, and the master must have confidence in him." ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's expression froze, but the next moment she smiled bitterly and was noncommittal.

Chunhua put a cloak on her body to cover the wind, and said: "Master, today the Mu family is in the vegetable market, I heard that the entire Eastern Capital has run to see the excitement, everyone is clapping their hands, if it weren't for the fact that during the queen's funeral, you can't see the sound of firecrackers and silk music, the slave and maid estimate, there will be people to set off firecrackers to celebrate." ”

When it comes to the Mu family, all the people in the East Capital have a cheerful tone of relieving hatred, and Chunhua is no exception, and her tone is very happy.

Listening to the excitement in her tone, Yu Ruyan didn't have too much joy and excitement in her heart, her expression was flat, she sighed softly, and said indifferently: "The world is reincarnated, the sky has eyes, and it will not wronged good people." Naturally, they will not let go of the evil people in this world, everything is the punishment they deserve! ”

Qiu Yue said with a smile: "Yes, I am also fortunate that His Royal Highness is wise, and he unknowingly took the nest of the eldest prince and Mu Xiang, exposed the bad things they did in time, and let them accept the punishment they deserve, which is really happy!" ”

Hearing her talk about Mu Lingzhi, a sweet smile unconsciously swelled up between Yu Ruyan's eyebrows, this man has never disappointed her----

In fact, Mu Lingzhi had already discovered the carriage carrying the stolen silver into the city a few days ago, and he had been silent. Every day, he accompanied Yu Ruyan in the cell, cooked food for her, talked and chatted with her to relieve her boredom, and at other times he was also guarding the spirit in the palace, as if he had never dealt with government affairs and court affairs again.

And the investigation of Dali Temple, he did not interfere, and Yue Yu had full authority to do it alone, he quietly waited for an opportunity, an opportunity that could make it impossible for his father to open the net.

On the day of the public trial of Dali Temple, the whole city was watching, but this time was the best time to expose the evil deeds of Mu Xiang and Mu Yun, in front of the whole world. Even if King Liang couldn't bear it in his heart, he had to deal with these maggots of these two countries strictly!

Mu Lingzhi ruthlessly exposed Mu Xiang and Mu Yunzhi, one of them was that the two of them were embarrassed and guilty, and let them go down, I was afraid that it would have a worse impact on Daliang.

Second, he thought that the grievances on Yu Ruyan's body had reached the time to be resolved, and at that time, as soon as the queen mother's funeral was over, he would marry her, and then take her away and fly away. Even if he took her to guard the imperial mausoleum for his mother, as long as he could leave the Eastern Capital and leave everything that disturbed people, he was willing.

Therefore, before leaving, he must help Xiaodao clear all obstacles on the way to the throne of God, so that he can ascend the throne smoothly in the future.

And the biggest obstacle to Xiaodao is the eldest prince Mu Yunzhi and Mu Xiang, if they can't be completely eradicated, how can Mu Lingzhi rest assured that Xiaodao will leave alone and leave with confidence?

These, Mu Lingzhi had told Yu Ruyan before, and also told her the plan in her heart, so, seeing that everything is developing smoothly in the direction he expected, her heart is also very relaxed and happy, looking forward to the end of the matter in Beijing as soon as possible, she can leave with Mu Lingzhi and fly together

Thinking that she could completely let go of all her worries in the future and live an ordinary and stable life with Mu Lingzhi, Yuruyan's quiet face radiated with a beautiful vision for her future life.

At this moment, a little girl ran in from outside the yard, panting into the house, running red and said: "Master, it's not good, it's not good"

The sound alarmed the three masters and servants in front of the window, Chunhua looked at the little girl's reckless appearance, and couldn't help but stretch her face unhappily and said, "Why are you yelling?" Didn't you see the master here?"

Chunhua raised her face and prepared to teach these girls who didn't understand the rules a lesson, but was stopped by Yu Ruyan, she opened her mouth and asked, "What happened?" ”

The little girl took two breaths and said anxiously: "Master, just now His Royal Highness specially sent someone back to say that Mu Ziyue had escaped, let us be careful in the garden, and also let the master not go out, saying yes, saying that I was afraid that Mu Mu Ziyue would lose his heart." I'm going to come to my master for revenge."

The little girl's face turned red, and Chunhua and Qiuyue were so frightened that their faces changed instantly, and they couldn't help but close the door and close the window, as if Mu Ziyue was about to come in.

In their eyes, the vicious and ruthless Mu Ziyue is as terrifying and frightened as a murderous maniac, not to mention that Chunhua and Qiuyue have also suffered losses under her, and they have seen her hideous and terrifying appearance when she holds a dagger in her hand and first cuts the neck of Jade Ruyan.

Therefore, when they learned that she had escaped, thinking of her hatred for Yu Ruyan, the three maids were as worried as Mu Lingzhi, and decided that Mu Ziyue would definitely come to Yu Ruyan for revenge.

But Yu Ruyan was not afraid at all, she frowned and thought about it, and asked the little girl who passed the word: "Isn't she locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, how did she escape?" What about Your Highness, is everything going well at the execution ground? ”

The little girl replied: "I heard that Mu Ziyue begged Prince Yi to go to the execution ground to send her father and mother on the last ride, and later saw her Mufu Gate was cut off by her own eyes, on the way back to Dali Temple, when she arrived at the moat, she vomited blood in her mouth, and the person was about to run out of breath, and the official who escorted her was afraid that she would die on the road and couldn't pay the errand, so he opened the prisoner car and sent her to the nearby hospital for rescue, but I didn't expect that she had just been carried off the prisoner car, so she turned over and jumped into the moat and escaped!" ”

There is such a rule in Daliang, the more serious the offender, the more careful the official who guards him before the execution must be careful to save the prisoner's life and prevent favoritism.

Because there have been such cases before, the family members of the people who were sentenced to beheading paid for the guards to deliberately let the prisoners find an opportunity to commit suicide and escape the pain of the heavy sentence.

Since then, the laws of Daliang have clearly stipulated that prisoners sentenced to death must ensure the life of prisoners sentenced to death before execution.

So when she saw that Mu Ziyue was about to run out of breath, the official was deceived by her in a hurry and let her escape

Listening to the little girl's words, Chunhua and Qiuyue both gasped----

Now that the cold winter has just passed, the spring cold is even more biting, and there is a thin layer of cold ice in the moat.

Thinking of this, the three of them shuddered in unison!

And when Yu Ruyan heard this, her face sank. A little cold in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has brought someone to search for her?" Can there be results? ”

The little girl nodded and said: "Exactly, after His Royal Highness got the news, he immediately took people to the moat to search, but he has not found anyone yet, His Highness is worried that Mu Ziyue will come to the master to take revenge after he survives, so he specially asked people to come back and tell the master to take precautions."

After the little girl left, Chunhua and Qiuyue repeatedly ordered the subordinates in the other garden to close the courtyard door and step up their guards, all of them trembling as if they were facing a great enemy.

Listening to the panicked appearance of the people running around in the other garden, Yu Ruyan beckoned Chunhua to come in, and asked her to order to go down, open the gate of the other garden, and everyone do their own things, as usual, don't be flustered and afraid.

She sneered: "I'm looking forward to Mu Ziyue's arrival. ”

However, until the next morning, she didn't hear any news about Mu Ziyue, and she didn't secretly come to the other garden to find Yu Ruyan for revenge

After breakfast, Yu Ruyan said to Chunhua Qiuyue: "Today is the day of Yu Mingzhu's execution, follow me to Dali Temple to see her off for the last time." ”

After that, let the subordinates prepare the carriage and lead the spring flowers and autumn moon towards Dali Temple.

When she arrived at the execution ground of Dali Temple, the people in the torture room were putting strong ropes on Yu Mingzhu's limbs and neck. But Yu Mingzhu struggled desperately, screaming again and again, refusing to give in to death, and was finally pressed to the ground by the official of the torture room.

Seeing Yu Ruyan's arrival, Yu Mingzhu's panicked and suffocated heart seemed to see the last ray of light, she tried her last strength to pounce in front of Yu Ruyan, holding her legs and refusing to let go, crying heartbreakingly: "Sister, save me, I don't want to be divided, even if I am cut off my head with a knife, it is terrible to divide the body of five horses, I have seen with my own eyes what kind of death the mother concubine is." I don't want it, I beg you, you go and help me beg for His Royal Highness, Prince Yi, and King Liang, even if it's beheaded, I don't want to divide the body of five horses, don't."

Because Yu Mingzhu had seen the tragic situation of Concubine Lian being divided by five horses before, now that she thought that she would also be punished like this, her heart was already so frightened that she collapsed to the point of madness.

The terrible thought of her body being torn apart like her mother's concubine, and the blood flowing from her intestines and internal organs, she was already terrified, and she was already frightened when she saw those ropes

Listening to Yu Mingzhu's voice of pleading and crying, Yu Ruyan said coldly: "Cutting off the head and splitting the body are just one death, what difference does it make to you?" Don't you think it's ridiculous that you still care about these things at this point? ”

Hearing this, Yu Mingzhu's whole body froze, and she looked at Yu Ruyan with an indifferent face in a daze, and suddenly felt a hatred in her heart, pointing at her and scolding: "Poisonous woman, no matter what, I am your sister, and everything I have encountered today is all because of you." You don't even care about sisterhood. Oh, I know, you want me to die, they will be willing to help me."

I couldn't see her description, but Yu Ruyan could also imagine in her heart what kind of disgusting face she was now, and couldn't help sneering: "Miss sisterhood? Oh, did you ever think that I was your sister when you killed me again and again! ”

"When you teamed up with outsiders to push me into a desperate situation again and again, did you ever think that we were born from the same roots!"

"When I was guillotined, do you remember the vicious things you said to me! Even when I die, you don't want to let me go, and you keep saying that you want to throw my body into mass graves to feed the dogs, do you remember all this?! ”

Yu Ruyan's voice questioned, forcing Yu Mingzhu to say no more, she looked at Yu Ruyan in front of her in despair and horror. muttered to himself like a madman.

"You are my nemesis, the mother concubine didn't say anything wrong, you can't have me, it's terrible, it's terrible, I'm willing, I'm unwilling"

Listening to her nonsense, Yu Ruyan said again: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." At the beginning, your father was kind enough to spare your life, but you were unwilling to kill the caretaker and escape from Luoying Nunnery to Daliang. And you came to Daliang just to find a way to seek revenge on me. However, from the beginning to the end, I have not done anything to wronged you or framed you. Whether it is in Daqi or Daliang, whether you are still Concubine Lian, your final fate is all your own sins, and you can't blame anyone! ”

"Rest assured, after you die, I will not throw you into a mass grave to feed wild dogs, as you did to me. Even if I hate you, but for the sake of you being the princess of Daqi after all, I don't want to make the world laugh at our Daqi, I will bury you well, find a place to bury you, and you can go with confidence! ”

The hour has come, and the official of the torture room has come forward to catch the jade pearl again. She was frightened and screamed in horror, "You can't kill me, I'm the eldest princess of Daqi." You can't condemn me, I'm going back, I'm going to find my father."

"You have been stripped of the imperial residence by the King of Qi, demoted to a concubine, and driven out of Daqi!"

Yue Yu didn't know when he also came to the execution ground, he opened the letter of state sent by Qi and handed it to Yu Mingzhu, and said coldly: "The king of Qi has issued an edict to the world, remove your imperial status, demote you to a concubine, and drive you out of Great Qi." No longer belongs to the people of Great Qi. Your life and death have nothing to do with Daqi! ”

As soon as these words came out, the jade pearl was completely struck by lightning and shook on the spot----

After being imprisoned in the prison after the accident before, she tried her best to send the news of her accident back to Daqi, and wanted the king of Qi to send envoys to negotiate with Daliang to save her life and take her back

But there is no regret medicine in the world, with King Qi's indifferent temperament, these daughters of his have always been just pawns he uses to maintain the stability of the country with his relatives, and he will offend Daliang for the sake of the jade pearl who committed a serious crime. What's more, what Yu Mingzhu did in Daqi before had already made King Liang hateful, so he would no longer care about her life and death.

The King of Qi drove her out of Daqi with an edict and made her a nameless person, and Mu Yunzhi had already abandoned her, even if she became a ghost after death, she could only be a lonely ghost

Yu Ruyan did what she said, and sure enough, after Yu Mingzhu was subdued, she asked people to collect her torn body and find a coffin. Buried in an unnamed hill on the outskirts of Beijing.

And Mrs. Yiqing was also scraped to death by ninety-nine eighty-one knives shortly after the Jade Mingzhu was subdued

Entrusted to bury the jade pearl, it is already the sun setting.

Chunhua and Qiuyue have been urging Yu Ruyan to hurry back to the other garden, and when they thought that the government had not found Mu Ziyue who had fled, the two maids were terrified.

Since yesterday, Mu Lingzhi has been searching for Mu Ziyue who jumped off the moat with the government, but he has not found it until now.

When she escaped, the city gate was already closed, and everyone who left the city had to be carefully checked, but Mu Ziyue was not found to be out of the city.

Then she must still be in the city!

The carriage walked forward slowly, Yu Ruyan closed her eyes and leaned against the wall of the car, guessing where Mu Ziyue might go, but she couldn't help but think of the scene when she first saw Mu Ziyue

I still remember that when I first saw Mu Ziyue, she was dressed in a fiery red riding costume, sunny, noble and bright, snuggling up to Mu Lingzhi's side, and she couldn't feel complacent.

At that time, Mu Ziyue was like the bright moon in the sky, noble and beautiful beyond touch, which made her feel envious and jealous of people for the first time in her heart.

She envied Mu Ziyue's happy life, and she was also jealous of the rare childhood sweetheart between her and Mu Lingzhi!

She often wondered if she didn't show up for herself. Wouldn't Mu Ziyue become so terrible because of jealousy? Will she marry Mu Lingzhi as she wishes and live happily with him?

She asked Mu Lingzhi this question the night after the public trial.

After hearing her question, Mu Lingzhi told her with certainty that Mu Ziyue's change was not because of her, but because of her own evil thoughts.

Mu Ziyue is greedy by nature and extremely conceited, no matter how good she looks, she thinks that she is the best and outstanding in the world, no one can compare with her, and the men in the world are even more chosen by her

However, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, how can the arrogant and conceited Mu Ziyue compare the women in the world one by one.

Therefore, when Yu Ruyan, who was more wise and beautiful than her, appeared in front of her, she couldn't bear it and wanted to get rid of her. Even if it wasn't for snatching Mu Lingzhi, she couldn't tolerate people more dazzling than her

Mu Lingzhi finally said to her heavily: "Mu Ziyue keeps saying that she loves me, in fact, from beginning to end, the person she loves the most is herself!" has come to this point, and it is all her inflated hypocrisy, no wonder anyone! ”

It is undeniable that Mu Lingzhi knows Mu Ziyue very well and analyzes her very thoroughly

In this case, with Mu Lingzhi's understanding of her, can he guess where Mu Ziyue fled?

I pondered all the way, and before I knew it, the other garden had arrived.

Chunhua and Qiuyue can help Yu Ruyan get out of the car and step into the gate of the other garden, but Aunt Qin, who has not seen each other for a long time, is waiting at the door and stretches out her hand to stop her
