Chapter 445: Death Without Repentance
After getting used to the light of the candle flame, the emperor slowly walked to the door of the main hall, a slender and thin shadow appeared on the floor tiles, looked up at the bright starry sky, and muttered: "I was wrong from the beginning." ”
Father-in-law Wuyong bent down and said solemnly: "The emperor is not wrong, Mrs. Liu is too arrogant, you gave her a chance, she didn't grasp the dignity and decency you gave." ”
often accompanied the emperor, Wuyong's father-in-law knew that the emperor did have the intention to give the position of the concubine of King Wei to Liu Niangzi, the emperor loved Liu Saburo very much, and hoped that he would be included in the royal family tree as a concubine.
Of course, the emperor can't stand in the open to support Liu Niangzi, it seems that he has no way to suppress Princess Wei, and even hints and pressure on King Wei, sure enough, King Wei hesitated, Princess Wei lost the queen mother's backer, and suffered the emperor's anger because of the assassin sent to Liu Saburo, and her position was shaky.
However, the eccentric Liu Niangzi gave up her advantages, not only did she not care about the two sons and the fight between the princes, but the most important thing was that she dared to beat the third son, and the emperor couldn't bear to touch a finger of the third son.
The emperor said lightly: "You go and pass the decree and talk to the Liu family, without San Lang, she can't even sit down as a side concubine!" ”
"Yes."
"What San Lang did for her, you also have to tell her, so that she doesn't think that she can gain a foothold in Wancheng with just her so-called life-saving benefactor. San Lang is an ambitious child, he disdains to please the Liu family, I can't bear to let the San Lang who did things be resented by the Liu family again, when San Lang was raised by her, she only asked for it and didn't pay. ”
"Minions understand."
After the emperor ordered, he went to the place where General Mu Shao stopped again, knelt on the soft cushion, took out the yellow paper from the hands of the inner servant and threw it into the charcoal brazier one by one, and the flames jumped from the brazier, as if burning into the emperor's eyes.
Tonight is the last day of the funeral, and tomorrow will be buried, the emperor has decided to let General Mu Shao's tomb accompany the burial of the imperial mausoleum, and ordered to rebuild the tomb where she died in battle, and establish a cemetery, so that the heroic spirit who accompanied her to die in battle can always accompany the young general they swore to follow.
The emperor burned the paper for more than half an hour, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, so many coins and paper, and her soul is still in the world, there is nothing more funny than this.
took out the paper that had been written for several days from the cuff, the emperor looked down at what he had written, slowly let go, a thick stack of paper in his hand fell into the brazier, and it burned out in an instant, two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of the emperor's eyes, and he muttered a few words silently, that is, the attendants standing on the side couldn't hear what the emperor said.
*******
In the cell where Duchess Muguo's mother and son were imprisoned, Changqing showed the token given by the emperor to the people in the cell, "The emperor ordered me to take them away." ”
The guard checked the authenticity of the token and said respectfully, "Obey the holy word." ”
"Mr. Changqing, later, the lower official will go and bring them up."
"Hmm."
Changqing stood at the door, waiting for a while, four guards carried two stretchers out of the cell, on the stretchers lay the Duchess Mu Guo and Mu Yi, Mu Guogong did not divorce his wife, she was able to continue to retain the position of wife, but Mu Yi has been deprived of the title of viscount, devastated for many days, old injuries recurred, and the whole person is like a waste.
Duchess Mu Guo was no better than him, and the position of the lady did not give her any preferential treatment, but because she was the mastermind of usurping the military exploits of the young general, she was punished more heavily.
In fact, the title of Duke Mu is now a laughing stock, and Duke Mu is ridiculed, which is also the emperor's original intention, and he will never let the people who treat General Mu Shao have a good time.
"Cousin, I know you're going to save me."
Duchess Mu Guo breathed in the fresh air, saw the bright stars, and struggled to grab Changqing, "You will definitely not leave me again, right?" ”
She remembered who Mu Wu was, and she also remembered what Mu Wu and Changqing had done to her in the cell, there were some things she couldn't say in her life, since Changqing left, there was a thick sore on the place where the Duchess Mu Guo was not tortured, and it was very itchy, but the thick sore would rupture in one day, and then a bright red sticky liquid flowed out, not blood, and the liquid exuded a strange and unpleasant smell.
The liquid flowed clean, and after the sores healed, new sores emerged, and the cycle was endless, and she was tormented because of the foul smell on her body, and the guards who performed it were reluctant to come near her.
When she saw her cousin at this time, she grabbed a life-saving straw, "Cousin, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you save me, save me." ”
No matter how itchy the sores were, she didn't scratch them, because she understood that the sores were not normal, and the consequences of scratching were serious, "I don't dare to ...... anymore Don't dare ......"
Unable to say the name, her head seemed to crack, "Don't torture me anymore, please, don't torture me anymore." ”
A flash of clarity flashed in Changqing's eyes, she didn't dislike the smell on her body, squatted down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't torture you, and I didn't make the thick sores on your body, I said, you will have retribution." She is your daughter, and if you treat her badly, your biological mother will also suffer retribution for mutilating her flesh and bones. ”
"What's more, you hurt the people who the gods and Buddhas of the heavens are trying to compensate, and you still ...... her A secret method was used. ”
"This is just the beginning, the wounds on your body are the revenge of the human emperor against you, and these." Changqing's hand lightly tapped the thick sores that had not yet ruptured, "It's God's punishment, I warned you when I handed the scroll to you, don't use it indiscriminately." ”
"You can save me, cousin, you can save me."
"I'm just a mortal, I can't save those punished by God!"
Changqing got up slowly, looking at the mother and son condescendingly, "I knew today, why bother in the first place." You should have a rich and stable life, but you are not satisfied with and jealous of her, you never believe that she will give up her military exploits to her brother, she was born to you, but you never understood her intention to disguise herself as a man to join the army, you don't care about military exploits, you just want to protect the peace of the party. You have a dark heart and think of her as vile and obscene as you are. ”
"Tomorrow is the day of her official burial, and the emperor wants you to go to her coffin to apologize."
"I ...... I ......"
Duchess Mu Guo burst into tears, with remorse and grievances, "Can my cousin tell me why the emperor is so good to her?" Don't say that it's just because of her military exploits, she does have a lot of credit, but her merits are far from reaching the point where the whole country mourns, and don't tell me that it's because of the blood letter presented by Liu Saburo...... The emperor must have something to do with her. ”
"Do you know that you can't change the ending, do you still want to threaten the emperor?"
“……”
Duchess Mu bit her lip with dissatisfaction, if she knew that she was the emperor's favorite, maybe she wouldn't have let her die like that.
Changqing shook his head and sighed, "If you don't repent of dying, you will only be more miserable." ”
