Chapter 1: Death
The third day of October in the third year of Dayan Guoxiping.
"Tick...... Tick ...... "The sound of blood dripping on the ground came from the prison. In the dim light, I saw a wooden frame of a cross erected on the west side of the prison, and the prisoners were firmly chained to it with iron cables. The woman lowered her head, and blood was dripping down the ends of her hair to the ground, making a "ticking" sound. Other than that, there was a dead silence. If it weren't for the woman's slightly heaving shoulders, I would have thought she was dead.
The sound of trembling footsteps came from afar, "Open the door!" A familiar female voice rang out, and the female prisoner opened her eyes, lifted her eyelids, and then closed them again. Tut-tut, Li Yunqing, Li Yunqing, I didn't expect you to be alive? Your life is really hard! You didn't expect you to have today, it's really an eye-opener for this palace! I saw the woman who spoke, dressed in a bright red silk silk phoenix robe, with a nine-beaded phoenix crown on her hairpin, and a crimson dankou deeply poked into the wound on the female prisoner's chest.
"Hmm......" Li Yunqing exclaimed softly in pain, her brows furrowed slightly, and the innate arrogance in her bones was still fully revealed in her gestures. I saw that the phoenix-crowned woman held up Li Yunqing's chin with one hand, and continued to increase her strength with the other hand to dig deep into Li Yunqing's left chest, and said with a cruel smile: "Li Yunqing, you beg for mercy, you beg for mercy and this palace will let you go!" ”
"Heh... Xie Wanru, you and I...... I've known each other for decades, and you're still like this......" Li Yunqing said with a pale chuckle. "Li Yunqing, I know that you are a tough bone and are not afraid of death, otherwise how could you survive these three years in prison? In the past three years, have you wondered what is going on outside? Xie Wanru said mockingly, "This palace is for the sake of you and me, so I'll tell you kindly today......"
When Li Yunqing heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him, with a hateful look in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear the woman in front of him apart. Xie Wanru was overjoyed to see her like this, suddenly withdrew and retreated, and sneered: "Li Yunqing, Li Yunqing, I want you to be loyal to the Zhenguo Mansion for generations, and you have made great contributions to my Dayan Country, how can you be a fool with great achievements?" ”
"Xie Wanru, you don't talk nonsense, what do you mean by this!!" Li Yunqing shouted with all his strength, and was out of breath after speaking.
"Hahahahaha, what do you mean?! The meaning of this palace is that the whole clan of your Zhenguo Mansion is stupid! Xie Wanru said with a cruel smile, "You don't know, I was miscarried by you three years ago, it was fake, I used drugs and then bought off your maid Yingzhi, so that you were fooled smoothly...... Your personal maid Yingzhi, oh no, it should be called Yinggui now, but it really helped me a lot! ”
"You...... You poisonous woman, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty! Li Yunqing roared angrily.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to see you at all! Do you think that His Majesty really loves you, he is just taking advantage of you? Your Majesty loves me through and through! Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that when you had a miscarriage and could no longer have children, that bowl of fetal pills was actually sterilization soup, which was also given to you by His Majesty at the behest of the imperial doctor. ”
"No!! No way!!! How is this possible!! Li Yunqing's face changed abruptly, and he retorted sharply.
"You still don't believe you if you say you're stupid, this palace is now telling you the news of the Zhenguo Mansion that you want to know the most" Xie Wanru smiled with a distorted face, "You can't think of it, right?" The Zhenguo Mansion treasoned and collaborated with the enemy, the evidence was conclusive, and more than 300 people in the whole government were all sentenced to beheading. Your grandfather, father, and brother were sentenced to Ling Chi. ”
"What do you say!!! No way!!! Since the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom, the government of our town has been established for a hundred years, and it has been loyal to martyrs for generations, and it has been born and died for the Great Yan Kingdom to guard the northern border, how can it be possible to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason! I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!! ”
"Who wants to see me?" A man dressed in a bright yellow nine-dragon robe and wearing an imperial crown appeared at the door of the prison. Li Yunqing heard the voice and called eagerly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's Qing'er who wants to see you." Brother Tianfeng, grandfather and father, they are all wronged, they can't be treason and collaborate with the enemy, you believe Qing'er, they will never be treason and collaborate with the enemy. ”
"Huh, believe?! The piles and piles are all placed there, the Guogong Mansion, the general's seal letter is clearly printed on it, you actually tell me that you are wronged!! Li Yunqing, three years ago, you designed to kill my prince, and there are all the human and material evidence, but you would rather die than admit your guilt. I see that for the sake of the loyal martyrs of the Guogong Mansion for generations, there is no abolition, but I just locked you in a prison to make you reflect on yourself, and as a result, you don't repent, insulting me and Ru'er, I can ignore these things, I didn't expect that your Guogong Mansion not only did not change its ways, but actually colluded with the Beirong Kingdom to rebel! ”
"Impossible, impossible!" Li Yunqing retorted.
"Li Yunqing, you married me at the age of seventeen, today I miss you for the sake of you who have accompanied me for decades, and Ru'er keeps interceding for you, three days later, you will be beheaded by more than 300 people in the Zhenguo Mansion, and I will allow you to go and say goodbye, in addition, you don't have to be late for your grandfather, father and brother to be extraordinarily gracious!" After speaking, Yun Tianfeng hugged Xie Wanru and left the prison.
In the afternoon of the third day, at the Nanping City Execution Ground in the capital of Dayan Kingdom, tens of thousands of people in the city gathered in plain clothes in front of the execution ground to watch the beheading of the entire Zhenguo Gong clan.
"Take someone to commit it!" I saw the prison beheader singing loudly, and a group of jailers escorted the prisoners to the execution platform. In an inconspicuous carriage in the distance, Li Yunqing was picked off and tied in the car, and a cotton cloth was stuffed in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide. Sitting next to her was Xie Wanru and Li Yunqing's former maid Yingzhi, and now Yingguiren.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
"The hour has come, execution!" The supervisor threw the token on the ground, and the twenty executioners took off the identification card on the prisoner's head, and at this time, Li Quan'an, the gray-haired old town prince, shouted with all his internal strength: "My town and the country government have been loyal and martyred for a hundred years, and there is no collaboration with the enemy and treason, Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, and my town and country government are wronged............
Suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down, but it could not wash away the blood all over the ground.
Li Yunqing sat in the carriage, tried all his strength to scream, and wanted to stop it with tears streaming down his face, but he could only make a "hmm" sound.
"Oh, Sister Imperial Concubine, this is really bloody, let's go back!" Ying Guiren said in a weird way on the side.
"Let's go back then!" Xie Wanru said.
In the prison, Xie Wanru approached Li Yunqing and sneered: "Li Yunqing, let me tell you quietly, for this crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, you still have to thank your good maid Yinggui and my good sister I!" Hahahahaha......haha
"You!! You wicked woman, you don't die well! Li Yunqing said viciously, "Xie Wanru, do you think that if I die, it will be your turn to be the queen?" Hahaha...... You're just wishful thinking! ”
"Slap" hit Li Yunqing with a slap in the face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are here! Sister Yunqing slandered you with foul language! Xie Wanru immediately made a delicate appearance when she heard the footsteps, snuggled up to Yun Tianfeng's chest, pretended to wipe her tears and said, "But I didn't mean to come to my sister, after all, I witnessed my relatives being beheaded today, so I naturally felt resentful...... Your Majesty, don't worry about your sister. ”
Yun Tianfeng was angry because of the fact that the old town Guogong of the old town in the execution ground was about to shout injustice before his execution, causing a headache, and he was going to settle accounts with Li Yunqing.
"Oh? Since the queen is so reluctant to her family, then send her down to reunite with Zhenguogong's family! Yun Tianfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"But Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor said that our emperor's illness still needs people's hearts as medicine! Your Majesty, save the emperor, he is only three months old......" Xie Wanru said in a low tear.
"Oh? Is it? Yun Tianfeng smiled predictively, "Li Yunqing, in order to atone for your sins, then you should use your heart to treat my child!" After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the jailer rushed into the prison and walked towards Li Yunqing with a cruel smile.
"Be careful, this heart must be intact, and there can be no damage! Dig it out of the edge and take it out! Xie Wanru said hurriedly, "Otherwise, the medicinal properties will not be good, and the emperor and the children of the palace will be injured, and the palace will bury you with you!! ”
Li Yunqing listened to these words, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha, I, Li Yunqing, am smart, but I am so confused that I can't even see the people around me clearly!" Involved the Li family! The sky has eyes, even if I am a ghost, I will not let go of those wicked people who have harmed me and been slaughtered, I want them to pay back with blood!! ”
After speaking, he only heard the sound of "fluttering, fluttering" knives entering the flesh, and Li Yunqing's pupils gradually dilated, and he was silent......
