The four princes can be said to be the first princes to be executed by order since the establishment of the Dayong Dynasty.

The day after the rebellion was put down, he and Concubine De were escorted directly from the palace to the noon gate.

However, after one night's work, the two changed into prison uniforms, and they did not see the spirit of last night at all.

The Praetorian Guards surrounded the two men with swords and escorted them into the execution ground.

Concubine De learned that everything was Emperor Jingyong's plan, and was deeply shocked, and at this moment she was like a marionette, walking with blank eyes, and the iron chains at her ankles rattled as she walked.

The fourth prince looked around quietly, and when he saw the black bands on the wrists of several Praetorian Guards next to him, he smiled.

Then he hung his head and strode along, and under the sleeves of his wide prison uniform, there was a clear crack in the iron chain that held his hands.

There were no people outside the execution ground, and it was quiet everywhere, the four princes and Concubine De were pressed to kneel, and the executioner held a big knife, standing behind the two, waiting for the execution.

As soon as the hour arrived, the executioner took the liquor handed by others, took a sip and sprayed it on the blade, and the tendons and flesh on his body trembled slightly.

The fear of imminent death made Concubine De's body tremble slightly, and she closed her eyes, and her heart welled up with remorse.

It's just that she regrets not the rebellion, but regrets that she didn't calm down.

If she had been more cautious and persuaded her brother and son to make the layout more thorough......

Perhaps at this moment, she has become the most noble woman in the Dayong Dynasty.

The big knife fell, she heard the sound of the wind being cut, her heart rose to her throat at this moment, Concubine De's closed eyelids trembled violently, and tears slipped from the ends of her eyes.

But she didn't wait for the expected pain, instead, the sound of a noisy fight came to her ears.

Concubine De suddenly opened her eyes, and saw that the chains on her son's body had been broken, and he was holding a long sword in his hand, and his face was splashed with the blood of unknown people.

"Plop-p-p-"

Concubine De heard her own heartbeat.

"Mother, raise your hand!"

The voice of the fourth prince came, and Concubine De subconsciously cooperated, and the blade of the sword slashed, and the iron chain was actually broken.

Concubine De looked at her freed hands in disbelief, and then stared blankly at the iron chain between her legs being cut off.

She finally came back to her senses, and without asking too much, she followed closely beside the four princes, escorted by several Praetorian Guards with black belts in the middle.

The joy in my heart is surging.

To be alive, of course not to die...

Unfortunately, things don't go as they hoped.

A large number of black-armored guards came in through the gate, armed with bows and arrows.

Gu Qinhan stood at the front, his eyes were cold, he didn't even give the four princes a chance to resist, he raised his hand, "Release the arrow!" ”

The rest of the dead soldiers of the four princes were dispatched, and they were originally to rescue the four princes, take them to the side tart to recuperate, and make a comeback in the future.

It's a pity that they don't know that the secret letter last night was just Gu Qinhan's bait.

As soon as they laid out, Gu Qinhan reported the news to Emperor Jingyong, and the only thing waiting for them was death......

The arrow pierced through the skin and into the flesh fiercely, Concubine De lowered her head and looked at the arrow that pierced her chest, the pain hit, she fell to her knees, and the corners of her mouth slowly overflowed bright red.

"No!"

When the fourth prince, who was wielding a sword to resist the arrows, saw this scene, his pupils shrank suddenly, "Mother!! ”

He even forgot to fend off arrows from all directions, dropped the long sword in his hand, and threw himself at Concubine De in embarrassment, holding her in his arms.

Seeing this, the dead soldiers hurriedly surrounded them and blocked the arrows for the four princes.

On the side of the fourth prince, the blood gushing out of Concubine De's chest stung his eyes, and he raised his hand in a panic and pressed the acupuncture points around Concubine De's wound.

"Mother... It's okay... Don't be afraid... Son, I'll help you stop the bleeding..."

It's a pity that the bleeding can't be stopped.

Concubine De's vision gradually blurred, and she could no longer see her son's face clearly.

She struggled to raise her hand, wanting to touch his face one last time.

Concubine De's lips trembled: "Don't... Other... Crying..."

The raised hand still didn't get her wish, her eyes slowly closed, and her body collapsed softly in the arms of the fourth prince.

The fourth prince noticed the change in Concubine De, and the whole person was stunned, and his mind was blank.

"No!"

After a long while, the fourth prince came back to his senses, his voice trembled, and the arms holding Concubine De kept retracting, and his fingertips were white.

Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and fell on Concubine De's body.

"Mother...... You wake up... I beg you... Are you awake? ”

"Didn't we say yes... You're also going to watch your sons ascend the throne... Do you still have to help your son take care of the children? ”

"Mother, are you awake? Erchen was wrong... Sons shouldn't be greedy... Erchen shouldn't be the opposite... Mother... You wake up... I beg you..."

The fourth prince hugged Concubine De tightly, whispering incoherently in her ear, as if she had lost her soul.

The only person in the world who loves him... Nope.

The fourth prince's heart was torn apart, and bursts of sharp pain hit him, making him unable to breathe.

The bow and arrow had long since stopped after the dead had fallen.

The fourth prince raised his head, looked at the corpses everywhere, and smiled.

If he had known that it would end up like today, he would not have fought for anything he had said.

The fourth prince let go of Concubine De, staggered to his feet, and then took the long sword and slowly placed it around his neck under the gaze of everyone.

The sunlight penetrated the dark clouds and shrouded the entire capital, and it was bright in all directions, but the four princes only felt that this light was particularly dazzling.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Concubine De...

Mother... Don't be afraid on the Huangquan Road, my son is here to find you.

The four princes killed themselves.

Gu Qin looked at it coldly, and after he fell to the ground, he raised his hand and ordered someone to come forward to clean up the body.

He went to the Taiji Hall and reported the situation to Emperor Jingyong.

When Emperor Jingyong heard the news, his hand to review the fold paused, and the cinnabar dripped on the fold, dyed red.

The atmosphere in the room was a little frozen, and the floating life behind Emperor Jingyong noticed his abnormality, his head hung even lower, and his breathing eased a little.

Emperor Jingyong was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Find a good place to bury their mother and son." ”

"Yes!"

Gu Qinhan responded, got up and left.

Emperor Jing Yong didn't continue to review the folds, he rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes tiredly.

The faces of the four princes came to mind, and Emperor Jingyong opened his eyes violently, and then sighed.

After Gu Qinhan arranged the funeral of the four princes and Concubine De, he went to Guiyuan Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

He didn't believe in Buddhism, but he still donated a lot of sesame oil money and asked the monks in the temple to do a ritual for the four princes and Concubine De.

Afterwards, he went to the graves of the two again.

It's already dark.

Mu Si stood by the carriage with a lantern and waited.

The paper money and incense candles were all taken from the Guiyuan Temple and put in the basket, Gu Qinhan squatted down, took out the paper money and lit it in front of the tombstones of the two, and then lit the incense and candles and inserted them.

Green smoke rose in a curling stream, and the glow of the burning paper money reflected on his face, somewhat obscure.

He took out a pot of wine and a glass from the basket, and poured three glasses of wine in a row in front of the tombstone of the fourth prince.

"Cast an ordinary family in the next life..."

Gu Qinhan said softly, then stood up and walked towards Mu Si.

He said, "Let's go." ”

The wooden four heads lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The carriage gradually left, no one saw it, and the fire in front of the tombstone deflected in the direction of Gu Qinhan's departure, as if responding.
