Chapter 017: Ex-fiancé
Qu Ning has completely inherited the memory of this body, so she knows the causes and consequences of the original owner of this body when he "dissolved the marriage contract and married into the imperial tomb".
At that time, as a young general and with heavy troops, his fiancé Dongfang Jing, who was away on the expedition, was suddenly reported by several officials of the DPRK as "collaborating with the enemy and treason" at the most critical moment of the war with the enemy.
The official who reported also presented to the empress several letters in secret between him and the prince of the enemy country, which can be regarded as well-founded and conclusive.
In a fit of rage, the empress ordered three hundred royal forest soldiers to rush to the front line overnight with her holy decree, escorted Dongfang Jing back to the capital, and put Dongfang Jing's family on death row, and wanted to behead his family.
Convinced that his fiancé Dongfang Jing was the original owner who was framed, in order to save his beloved fiancé, he repeatedly begged his father to come to the rescue, but his father sternly refused.
For this reason, the original owner did not hesitate to kneel at the door of his father's study in the rain, and knelt for two whole days, without eating or drinking, only begging his father to be soft-hearted. even used death to persecute her father, and if her father did not agree, she would die in front of her father.
Anyway, in a word, as long as her fiancé is beheaded, she will accompany her fiancé to death, and she will never live alone.
But even so, the original owner's father still refused to agree. You must know that "collaborating with the enemy and treason" is not an ordinary crime, and no smart person will take this trip to the troubled waters to anger the empress.
Seeing that the day of beheading was getting closer and closer, the original owner washed his face with tears every day, and he really wanted to go to death row to visit his fiancé but couldn't find a way.
At this time, my sister kindly came up with an idea for her.
The original owner thought about it for a night, and finally made up his mind, adopted his sister's suggestion, skipped his father and went directly to the palace to meet the empress, and said to the empress that "she is willing to marry into the imperial mausoleum", on the condition that "the empress must thoroughly investigate her fiancé's case" and return her fiancé a clean slate.
The empress was intending to marry her eldest son, the imprisoned demon in the imperial tomb, but for several days, none of the officials in the court was willing to take the initiative to let their daughter marry. Qu Ninggui is the prime minister's daughter, and he is the first to say the word "willing".
Although the empress didn't like people to negotiate terms with her, she finally agreed, and asked the original owner to dissolve the marriage contract first, and then marry into the imperial tomb, and she would investigate the case of Dongfang Jing thoroughly.
In this way, the original owner married a demon that everyone in the world feared.
Until the moment he stepped into the imperial tomb, the original owner didn't have a chance to see his fiancé Dongfang Jing again, and he didn't have a chance to explain the reason to him in person.
But on the day she got married, she wrote a letter with tears in her handwriting, in which she detailed the reason, entrusted her sister to keep it safe, and handed it over to Dongfang Jing on the day she was released from prison.
After marrying into the imperial tomb, the original owner has accepted his fate, on the one hand, he sticks to his nominal husband, the imprisoned demon, and has never thought of escaping, on the other hand, he still can't help but miss his ex-fiancé Dongfang Jing in the deepest part of his heart, I don't know if his charges have been clarified, I don't know if he has been released from prison, I don't know how he is now?
Day after day, in the end, longing became a disease, and once it became Qu Ning, which came through time.
Now, the ex-fiancé of the original owner sneaked into the imperial tomb late at night, and was clasping her neck tightly, wanting to kill her, Qu Ning couldn't help but be confused between life and death, no matter how the original owner sacrificed himself to save him, why did he come here to kill her? Didn't he see the letter left to him by his original owner after he was released from prison? The original owner's sister didn't give him the letter?
More questions entangled in her heart, Qu Ning was about to open her mouth to ask with her last breath, but the man in front of her suddenly let go of the hand that was clasped around her neck and knocked her unconscious.
Everything happened so fast that Qu Ning fell down before he could say anything.
