His futon was soft, and some of the familiar smells slowly smoked out of the surroundings, lingering around me, and I watched vaguely as he sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at me, deep eyes thoughtful.

After a while, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But as soon as I turned around and stopped, I turned around and saw that my sleeve was still in my hand, and I had no strength in my body, and the last bit of strength could only grasp his sleeve, and my fingertips were trembling. He frowned, then leaned down to look at me again.

"Your Majesty, ten million...... Don't kill those people......"

“……”

"Don't ...... Something will happen, something will happen...... Big deal. ”

“……”

His eyes deepened, and he looked at me intently for a long time, without saying a word, and my mind had gradually faded, and the light in front of me slowly faded, and finally fell into darkness.

In my nightmarish dream, I seemed to be walking down a long dark street, and there were several people kneeling in front of me, their hands tied behind their backs, unkempt, and the servants standing beside them with large knives.

This is......

I suddenly understood, and hurriedly ran over to stop it, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds under my feet, and I couldn't run fast, and I watched as the executioner raised the cold and glistening steel knife and slashed at the back of the neck of a kneeling man with his head bowed!

With a brush, blood splattered, and the head was cut off to the ground and rolled in front of me, and the hair was scattered, but it was a pair of eyes that were originally full of charm, but at this moment, there was no more spirituality.

"No—!"

I screamed and woke up from my dream and sat up all at once.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Shui Xiu ran over all of a sudden, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me in shock, wiped the cold sweat on my forehead with a handkerchief, and said with concern: "Girl, do you have a nightmare?" ”

Nightmare? Was it a nightmare just now?

My body and forehead were covered with cold sweat, and I realized that I was still sleeping in my bed, in my room.

It's a nightmare, and it's a nightmare just now.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still a little out of breath, Shui Xiu wiped my sweat, and brought a bowl of warm rice soup from the side, and said, "Girl, drink a little of this, it will calm your mind." ”

I glanced at her, I couldn't say anything, people were still trapped in the terrible dream just now and couldn't come back to their senses, but she still served and washed up, drank half a bowl of rice soup, and really felt much more soothed.

At this time, I regained some strength, looked up, but there were some doubts in my heart: "This is-?" ”

"This is our own room."

"My house?" My mind was a little confused, but I vaguely remember that before I fell asleep, it seemed to be in Pei Yuanhao's inner courtyard, he carried me and put me on his bed, I always wanted to talk to him, but I didn't hold on and fainted, why is it in my room now?

Seeing that I was a little puzzled, Shui Xiu said: "Girl, it was Father-in-law Yu who sent someone to send you back, you have been asleep for two days, and you finally got rid of the fever, which scared me to death." ”

……

I've been asleep for two days?! So today is-

I grabbed Shui Xiu's hand, my fingers trembling: "What day is today?" Those assassins, what happened to those assassins? ”

Shui Xiu was also frightened by my appearance, and said cautiously: "Today, the emperor will publicly behead those assassins at the execution ground, and everyone in Yangzhou City will go to see them." ”

There seemed to be a thunderclap above my head, my face was pale, and I was about to get out of bed when I uncovered the quilt on my body, Shui Xiu saw my appearance and hurriedly came up to help me: "Girl, what kind of girl are you doing!" ”

"Don't stop me, something is going to happen!"

I shook her off, and I didn't care that there was only a thin long skirt on me, so I ran out without looking back.

At this time, the spring is almost over, the early summer of Yangzhou is accompanied by rain, I ran out only to find that the rain is not finished, or it started again, the bluestone road is also soaked as if stained with oil, the green leaves are more and more verdant, lush and lush, revealing a different kind of vitality.

But in my eyes, this qiē seemed to cast a shadow.

I didn't expect that I would be in a coma for two days, and Pei Yuanhao didn't hear what I said at all, if he really killed those assassins today, the contradiction between the imperial court and Changmingzong would be even more intensified, and even if Shengjing didn't talk about it, the south would not be able to settle down.

If this is really the case, the qiē he did before, the qiē he made, and the qiē that Huang Tianba did were all in vain!

I ran forward desperately, causing a lot of strange eyes along the way, but I couldn't care about it, I just hoped that I could catch up, and I must stop him!

After a while, I ran to the front street, maybe because I had been asleep for two days without moving or eating, the person was very weak, at this time the cold sweat was almost soaking my clothes, and my forehead was also densely covered with cold sweat, falling down my cheeks drop by drop, I didn't care at all, looking at the crowd of people in front of me, as soon as I looked up, I saw the tall torture platform in front.

On the torture platform, several ragged and unkempt people knelt there with their hands tied behind their backs, and a tall and strong executioner stood beside him, holding a steel knife in his hand with a cold light, which was exactly the same as in the dream.

Like a nightmare, I looked at the scene in front of me and was stunned.

The bustling crowd around was still crowding forward, and the guards in charge of order stopped everyone ten steps away from the torture platform, and behind the torture platform, there was the prison beheading platform, and the prison beheader sat there with a solemn expression, and behind him, surrounded by a couch surrounded by green yarn, and the person inside was Pei Yuanhao.

This is also the reason why the surrounding guards are very tight, and when they openly ask about this group of assassins, the news spreads again, and it is difficult to guarantee that the people over there will not find a way.

Does he still want to use this trick to lure that person out?

My heart felt like it was being pinched by a hand, and it hurt so much that it was about to break. I gritted my teeth and squeezed forward, but the people around me pushed each other, and I walked more and more difficult step by step.

At this moment, the supervising officer glanced at the hourglass next to him, and then turned to Pei Yuanhao, who was sitting silently behind, for instructions, Pei Yuanhao only nodded lightly, and the commander got up, picked up a black order and threw it down: "Noon has arrived, behead!" ”

"Don't!"

My shouts were quickly drowned out by the exclamations of those around me, and just as the executioner raised his steel knife and was about to slash at the back of the neck of an assassin, a sudden sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded around him.

Looking back, several people suddenly rushed out of the crowded crowd and rushed towards the torture platform, the cold light of the sword in their hands was dazzling, and the smell of blood was exuding!

Those people, sure enough, did it!

The people around me quickly understood what was going on, and suddenly everything was in chaos, I was pushed and shoved back several steps, almost falling, and I saw those who had just rushed to the front of the stage to save people, and suddenly the curtain under the torture table was suddenly lifted, and dozens of Jingwei jumped out of it at once, and immediately forced those people back.

The torture table is protected impenetrable!

The assassins who saved the people also immediately realized that something was wrong, and the guards had already rushed up, and they were immediately slaughtered under the torture table.

The supervisor seemed to be shocked by this scene, and he didn't react for a while, and the person in the tent said coldly: "Don't do it yet?" ”

When the prison officer heard this, he hurriedly turned to the executioner and said, "Execution!" ”

At this time, I was almost suffocated by the chaotic crowd around me, but as soon as I heard this, my face turned pale, and I desperately shouted to the front: "Your Majesty, don't-!" ”

With my shout, the steel knife fell sharply.

At the same time, I was pushed by the people behind me, and the whole person fell forward, and in an instant I felt a red curtain in front of me, and a human head rolled down from the high torture platform.

He was stepped on several times, and the severe pain suddenly spread all over the world, and he almost fainted.

Just when I fell into a coma again, I seemed to see those assassins being forced back in bursts, and Pei Yuanhao suddenly opened the cyan tent......

It hurts.

It is more painful than being executed by Pei Yuanchen in the prison, and being tortured in the cold palace, more painful than any time.

I was also in pain in my dreams, looking at the blood around me, all the heads were familiar faces, I knelt in a pool of blood, and I couldn't cry in pain.

How so...... How so?

"How so?!"

An angry voice passed through the dream, and it rang in my ears, and I was stunned, I wondered if it was in the dream or where, and who was speaking—this voice was so familiar......

"What happened to her, tell me clearly!"

"The Emperor...... The emperor forgives the sin. ”

"I want you to say it."

"This--this girl was trampled on by the crowd and had many external injuries on her body, but the emperor saved her in time and did not hurt her viscera."

"If it's a traumatic injury, why haven't you woken up yet?"

"This ......"

"If she doesn't wake up, I'll cut you down!"

"The emperor forgives his sins!"

The noisy sound made my dream broken, I frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but the voice of the Jade Gonggong immediately came from my ears: "Your Majesty, look! ”

Suddenly, my whole body fell into an embrace, and I felt a pair of hot hands hugging me tightly, rubbing the wounds on my body so painful that I trembled slightly, and finally slowly opened my eyes.

Pei Yuanhao looked down at me, and his breathing became lighter: "Are you awake?" It's okay? ”

"Don't ...... Kill those people......"

I was half-asleep and half-awake, and for a while I seemed to see a pool of blood in my eyes, and for a while I seemed to see him holding me, and the person was also a little uncontrollable, and said in a daze: "The people of Nanfang and Shengjing...... Certain...... They haven't negotiated yet, they're waiting for someone...... The person who is in charge, the emperor...... Don't kill the Assassins...... will anger them, Zhao An...... Zhao'an is the way to go......"

Holding my hands seemed to stiffen.

I raised my hand with difficulty, but I could only grab the placket of his clothes and said softly: "Your Majesty...... Don't kill them......"
