Liu Ningchen took me around the side door, and there was no need to show any tokens to enter the dungeon through a narrow passage, because her face was enough to make a token, her mother's family was the most solid ally of the King of Wei, and her son was the first heir of the King of Wei, no matter how bold the guards were, they would not dare to offend her.
The path was narrow and winding, and there was no room for two people walking side by side, so Satsuki could only follow me with a candlestick, trying her best to help me follow the road in front of me. After walking for some distance, it suddenly became clear that there was a small room ten paces square, with no wall on the front side, only an iron fence, through which the cell could be seen recessed downward.
I had never been here before, but it dawned on me that outside the fence was a place for interrogating prisoners, and this small room was a place for the magnates to hear confessions. No wonder Liu Ningchen was able to enter easily, there was no contact with the people in the dungeon here, and the guards were not so tight.
There was a clatter of chains below, and the jailer drove several men in, fastening them to their stakes with chains on their hands and feet. At the back of the walk was a woman with a baby in her arms. My blood froze suddenly, and I stared at those people, my father, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my little nephew, who was less than a year old. Probably because I myself was going to have a child soon, and when I saw that little swaddling baby, I suddenly felt that this little child was so pitiful, and he was locked up in such a place not long after he was born.
I looked at Liu Ningchen in disbelief and asked her with my eyes, what was this going to do. Tuoba promised me not to kill my relatives, and he said he could give me time. Liu Ningchen slanted at the corners of his eyes, but did not speak, only told me to continue to look out.
Two more tall men entered, each with a broad knife on his shoulder, clearly the executioner. The jailer took out something and shook it in front of them, "The king's order is here, let's do it." The two men nodded, stood behind their father and brother, and raised their broadswords high with their arms outstretched.
"Don't!" I couldn't help but scream, and in the empty dungeon, the scream echoed with a buzzing echo that drowned out all the sounds around me. As I shouted, the toddler in my sister-in-law's arms cried "wow", and kicked her calves in the wrapped quilt. The sister-in-law made an "oh oh" sound from her mouth, patted him on the back and coaxed him softly, and couldn't be calmed for a while, and the chain made a rattling sound.
The jailer became impatient, snatched the child from his sister-in-law's hand, and threw his hand to the ground, and the child's cry suddenly stopped, and turned into a dead silence. I fell softly against the iron fence, and with a cry of exclamation stuck in my throat. My sister-in-law let out a heart-rending cry, probably calling the name of my little nephew, and I couldn't tell the difference.
"Howl what? There is a command from the king that you all have to die tonight, but it is a matter of one step earlier and one step later. The jailer scolded a few times, nodded at the executioner, and the sword fell from his hand, and the blood of his father and brother spurted out. I should have turned my face away from the scene, but I couldn't take my eyes off it, and I could almost feel the warm blood splashing on my face.
When the knife fell, my brother looked up in my direction with a cold and sarcastic expression. And the father, he never even raised his head. The executioner turned around and stabbed my sister-in-law as well, and my relatives, except for Ah Niang, finally all died, at the hands of the man who said he wanted to pick stars for me.
Liu Ningchen didn't know when he had left, and Xiaoyue was also frightened, still sobbing and crying. But she still stepped forward to help me and persuaded me to go back first. I got to my knees with difficulty and kowtowed heavily to several corpses outside the bar. Xiaoyue understood what I meant, and also knelt down and kowtowed, and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, and Your Royal Highness, don't blame the princess, she is also difficult...... It's hard to ......."
When I returned to my accommodation, my mother saw me and hurriedly came up and asked, "What's wrong?" I couldn't speak, so Satsuki told us what we saw in fits and starts. Only half of it was heard, and Ah Niang fainted. Xiaoyue had no choice but to call those maids in and help A-Niang to the bed in a hurry.
I didn't close my eyes all night, and as soon as I closed them, I was immediately engulfed in blood. The last cry of my little nephew, the indifferent eyes of my brother, and the blood splattered from the knife edge kept repeating in my ears and in front of my eyes. If I hadn't screamed, the innocent child wouldn't have died so miserably, perhaps he would have died peacefully in his sleep, and had a good dream until he died.
My stomach hurt more and more, as if the executioner's broad knife was cutting at me. I wanted to get someone to wipe the sweat from my forehead, but I couldn't make a sound after opening my mouth a few times.
When it was almost dawn, I couldn't hold it anymore and reached out and brushed off the clay pot next to the bed. Hearing a crisp "pop", the startled maid rushed in, glanced at the bed, and screamed "ah". I followed her gaze, and the blood that was pouring from under me had soaked all the corners of the quilt.
The maid panicked and called the medical officer, and I was so in pain that I couldn't think of anything to let them do with me. Someone put a needle in my body, someone poured the medicine into my mouth, I couldn't feel the pain of the needle prick, I couldn't taste the bitterness of the medicine, I just felt cold and shivering, and the strength disappeared little by little with the pain in my abdomen.
The medical officer was busy for a few days, and the bleeding under me finally stopped, and my mother woke up, but she was even more haggard and old than before. She is a person who has really given birth to and raised, and after seeing me for a long time, she told me that the child in her womb was afraid that she would not survive, and the medical officer used acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and in the end she would only die with me. I know that the medical officer and the maid are afraid of their King Wei, and even though they know that this child cannot be saved, they will not fall for me.
The pain in my body was numb, but my thinking became very clear. The jailer heard my shouts, but he didn't even lift his head, as if he had known I would be there. If Tuoba wanted to kill my father and brother, he could have done it a long time ago, and there was no reason to wait until the army was out to send such an order. I don't mean to excuse Tuoba, but I should always know at whose hands my father and brother died.
I grabbed Ah Niang's hand, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't say a word. The baby's cry, echoing in my ears, was like an invisible hand, clenching my throat. A-Niang patted the back of my hand and turned to go out. I don't know what method A-Niang used, but she actually found a bowl of safflower and musk decoction. She blew the medicine spoonful by spoon and brought it to my mouth, just like when I was a child, I was coaxed to take medicine when I was sick.
The medicine fell into my abdomen, and Ah Niang hugged me in front of her, and kept rubbing my back with her hands. A cramping pain slowly appeared in my abdomen, and I grabbed the placket of my aunt's clothes and curled up into a ball, biting my lower lip tightly. There was warm blood flowing from my legs, and I only felt a little stuffy in my chest, but I didn't feel the heartache of losing this child at all. In fact, children are very smart, for example, when I was very young, I knew that when my father stared at him and raised his palm, he was just pretending to be angry, and he was reluctant to hit me at all. Maybe I thought about not wanting this child, he knew, so he left by himself, but he was a little reluctant to me, and he was still tired of me.
I slept groggily between pain and numbness, unable to tell the difference between day and night. I don't know how long it took, the beaded curtain hanging at the door was vigorously lifted, and the cold smell of the armor mixed with the smell of dust and blood from the long march rushed straight into my nose, and I was choked by the cold breath, and I couldn't help coughing a few times.
The boots hit the ground with a heartbeat sound. The voice stopped abruptly in front of my bed, and a heavy black shadow pressed down, it was Tuoba Jue who had returned. Only then did I realize that there were only two people left in the house, me and him, and even A-Niang had been taken out.
With a stretch of his long arms, he pulled me straight up from the bed, and I had never seen him so angry or so rude.
"Murong Jin," he pointed to a small packet of medicinal herbs next to the bed, and called me by name, it was the safflower and musk that A-Niang had not used up, "You don't want children, you can tell me directly, I have a way to make you get your wish!" What does it mean that you're killing my unborn son now?! ”
I shook my head and tried to speak, but I couldn't make a sound. The situation in the dungeon that day had become a demon in my mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't speak normally as before.
"Don't think about how beautiful you are, I can have many women, many heirs, not worse than you!" He roared before my eyes, like an angry lion, "I fought fiercely for ten days, and came back day and night, and you let me see this?" Do you know what empty joy is? ”
Of course I know, I said in my heart, that you too were once my empty joy.
When he raised his hand, I shrank back, thinking that his slap was going to fall on me, but he slammed his palm on the bed screen, and the huge screen crashed to the ground, and the debris flew everywhere.
He let go of his hand and strode away, and I slipped and fell to the ground, unable to utter a word, not even wanting to ask him why he had repented of killing my relatives.
The maids came in and helped me, and every one of them had a frightened look on their faces, and they did not speak, but took turns guarding my side, and every meal had to pass through their hands before it could reach my mouth.
I thought that Tuoba Jue would never pay attention to me again, but it was not long before the maids told me that the king of Wei had ordered me to move to the newly built Ganzhi Palace, and everyone in the palace had to move, because the king of Wei was about to officially ascend the throne as emperor. They also told me that the dormitory where Tuoba Jue lived was called Leqiao Palace, which was a strange name for the emperor. Gan weaving, Leqiao...... If you really let him be a woodcutter in the mountains, he will definitely not be willing.
