Chapter 4: Execution
Lan Qingruo was thinking about it, but the nurse suddenly stepped forward in a hurry and said in a low voice: "Miss, the old princess is here." ”
Lan Qingruo nodded, tidied up her makeup and clothes a little, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully and gently: "Qingruo has seen the old princess. ”
Compared with Shen Xinyue, who was born in a merchant, Lan Qingruo, a daughter who was born in the Taifu Mansion, was naturally more satisfied with the old princess.
Huo Ziyao married Shen Xinyue, firstly, he could not cross Huo Weilou, who was the elder brother, and secondly, because Huo Weilou was in a high position, if Huo Ziyao's relatives were prominent, it would definitely cause suspicion, so he had no choice but to marry Shen Xinyue.
The old princess originally felt that she couldn't help her favorite little son, but she couldn't imagine that she would let Lan Qingruo marry Ziyao.
Therefore, although the old princess was angry on the surface, she was still very satisfied with Lan Qingruo's little daughter-in-law in her heart.
"Qingruo, I've wronged you." The old princess hurriedly helped Lan Qingruo up, beckoned, and let the grandmother behind her come in.
Those grandmothers came in with countless rare treasures and silk silk in their hands.
"Ziyao is a rich idler, nothing is as good as his eldest brother, you are one of the best talented women in the capital, and you are indeed wronged by him, but the wood is already in the boat, marrying Ziyao is also your best choice, Ziyao and I will not treat you badly, you have to relax." The old princess said.
Lan Qingruo is also a smart person, nodded, and said in a low and docile voice: "Qingruo knows, it's just-just robbed the Shen family's sister's relatives, her background like that, the prince will definitely not look down on her, and this Shen family's sister won't know how to deal with herself in the future-Thinking of this, I feel very uneasy." By the way, Sister Shen has been kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, she must be hungry, right? ”
Hearing Lan Qingruo's words, the old princess valued and loved her more and more.
"Hmph, you're still worried about her here? People are doing well! I climbed into the bed of Huo Weilou last night! I think Huo Weilou has been fascinated by her! The old princess snorted coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Lan Qingruo's pupils dilated instantly, and his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
What!
Shen Xinyue actually climbed into Huo Weilou's bed last night!
She has been married to Huo Weilou for so many years, Huo Weilou has always been polite and alienated from her, and she has never been half intimate and ambiguous!
Why!
Why could Shen Xinyue, a merchant girl, climb into his bed!
Lan Qingruo's heart suddenly felt like the two heavens of ice and fire, so depressed that she was almost out of breath.
However, in front of the old princess, Lan Qingruo did not dare to reveal his thoughts.
She smiled slowly and said: "Since this is the case, it is really wrong, but the identity of this sister Shen is still reluctant to be a concubine, and if she becomes a princess, I am afraid that it will make outsiders laugh at our palace." ”
Although the old princess dislikes Huo Weilou very much, Huo Weilou is the pillar and face of the regent's palace.
If he really wants to marry a merchant girl as a princess, won't this spread out and laugh off other people's big teeth?
However, if you want to take Shen Xinyue as a concubine, it is difficult for the Shen family to explain, after all, it is a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, if the Shen family makes trouble, I am afraid that the face of the palace will also be damaged.
The old princess suddenly tightened her eyebrows.
At this moment, the housekeeper of the palace stepped forward and said, "Old princess, several death row prisoners locked up in the dungeon are to be disposed of, is it still according to the old rules?" ”
The old princess's mind suddenly lit up, and said: "Naturally, it's better to pull it to Zhuangzi to feed the beasts, by the way, Steward Fu, the one who was just locked in this morning, also pulled over, and if the prince asked, she said that she wanted to escape and hid in the death row car." ”
Steward Fu nodded and went down in response.
Hearing the old princess's arrangement, Lan Qingruo's jealousy was like ten thousand ants devouring her heart, which eased a little.
Pull it to the Zhuangzi to feed the beasts, those beasts are hungry all the year round, throw them in, there is no chance of survival.
This side, in the dungeon.
Shen Xinyue was closing her eyes to recuperate, and the door of the cell was suddenly opened.
Shen Xinyue immediately opened her eyes, Steward Fu glanced at her from a distance, and said coldly: "Tie people up, take them." ”
The two guards immediately stepped forward, tied Shen Xinyue's hands and feet, and then stuffed a ball of cloth into her mouth and carried it out of the dungeon.
Outside the dungeon was the carriage, Shen Xinyue was thrown onto the carriage, and the carriage galloped.
The road was bumpy, and there were several death row inmates lying beside Shen Xinyue who were also tied up with flowers.
A premonition of uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart.
The carriage was too bumpy, and Shen Xinyue tried several times before she found a position close to the wall of the carriage and stabilized herself.
Once seated, she began to struggle to untie the ropes from her body.
However, before she could completely untie the ropes, the carriage had already reached its destination.
After the people in the car threw them through a doorway, they drove away without looking back.
Shen Xinyue was also thrown in. He was dizzy from the fall, but suddenly he heard a roar.
She was startled, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a hungry tiger burst out and pounced on the nearest death row inmate, tearing the death row inmate apart.
The rest of the death row inmates trembled with fear, however, their mouths were gagged, their hands and feet were trapped, and they could only wait for death.
Shen Xinyue's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly bit the rope in her hand as fast as she could, and then untied the rope under her feet.
The tiger was still enjoying the first death row inmate, so he didn't have time to take care of her.
Shen Xinyue looked around the environment here, the fence was four or five meters high, and it was impossible to climb out at all, and there were no trees or anything like that in the yard to borrow.
There wasn't even a doorway except for the opening that had just been opened from the outside.
Obviously, this is the place where this tiger was bred specifically to deal with death row prisoners.
The door hole is made of fine iron, and the switch is outside, even ten Shen Xinyue can't smash it.
The only way to get out of the predicament is to kill the tiger and escape.
Although she has some martial arts, she alone has absolutely no way to defeat the tiger.
Shen Xinyue looked at the remaining four death row prisoners, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the ropes for them.
"If we want to survive, we must kill this tiger, and before it is full, we must work together to get all the tools we can use on the ground." Shen Xinyue said calmly.
The condemned prisoners were already trembling with fear when they saw the tiger tear apart the man just now.
Seeing that Shen Xinyue untied the rope for them, several people quickly picked up the wooden sticks and rusty hoes on the ground, while Shen Xinyue found an abandoned spear.
"This tiger is so tall that it can shoot us to death with a single claw! How do we beat it to death? A trembling leg said.
Shen Xinyue was also afraid.
She's never seen a battle like this.
But admitting at this time is waiting for death.
She didn't want to die yet.
"Everyone is calm, there will definitely be a way, hemp rope, yes, hemp rope, you two people, pick up the hemp rope that binds us."
Shen Xinyue was in a hurry, and immediately came up with a plan.
The four death row prisoners are now also six gods and no masters, and seeing Shen Xinyue is like seeing the backbone of the main heart, they hurriedly obeyed her orders and picked up the hemp rope that they had untied from their bodies.
The hungry tiger was about to finish eating the death row prisoner on the ground, and Shen Xinyue's forehead was sweating, so the four of them hurriedly used a skillful method to wrap the rope around the tiger's four legs.
The tiger seemed to sense the danger as well, raised its head from hunger and roared at Shen Xinyue.
This roar was enough to make Shen Xinyue's feet tremble.
She forced herself to compose, picked up the rusty gun in her hand, used all her strength, took out the acupuncture target, and stabbed one of the tiger's eyes.
Thankfully, she stabbed.
The tiger's eyes were bleeding instantly. The whole person became furious and irritable, and rushed towards Shen Xinyue.
Just as the tiger pounced, the four death row prisoners jerked the rope back in their hands and pulled the tiger back.
All four of them used their strength to feed and dragged the tiger with the dead horse dismembering.
Shen Xinyue took advantage of this opportunity to pull out the hairpin on her head violently, and once again used the aim of acupuncture, and flew the needle directly towards the tiger's other eye.
The tiger was blinded in both eyes, and the blood flowed profusely, and he immediately became furious, constantly struggling and wailing, and pounced towards Shen Xinyue with his sense of smell.
Although Shen Xinyue's astuteness flashed, she was still thrown to the ground by the tiger's palm wind.
"Pull!" Shen Xinyue shouted.
However, the strength of the four death row inmates could no longer trap the angry tiger.
The dead man straining, but the tiger struggled on the ground for a moment, and was bound by the twine.
One of the death row inmates was so frightened that his legs went limp, and the tiger pounced on it, grabbed the man and shook it frantically twice, and the death row prisoner received a box lunch in an instant.
Another person died, and this time it completely shook the morale of the army, and the other seven people retreated one after another, huddled in the corner, and did not dare to make any more noise.
Shen Xinyue also had some six gods and no masters.
The whole Zhuangzi was eerily silent, and only the heavy wheezing of the tiger could be heard.
Is she really going to die?
Shen Xinyue couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
The tiger was blind, but his sense of smell and hearing remained.
It was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out another roar and lunged at another death row inmate.
It was a little off, but it quickly grabbed the death row prisoner with one claw.
The spear on its eyes had been shaken off, Shen Xinyue picked up the spear, and when it was distracted, she stabbed it hard in the back.
This shot completely angered the tiger.
The tiger violently shook off the prey that reached its mouth and pounced towards Shen Xinyue.
Shen Xinyue ran frantically in the Zhuangzi.
However, the entire Zhuangzi did not even have the slightest shelter except for weeds and some bones, and Shen Xinyue had no way to escape.
Although the tiger was injured and blind, it was still too easy to catch up with Shen Xinyue.
Just at the last moment, Shen Xinyue was about to close her eyes in despair, but the tiger suddenly paused, then raised his head and stared at the direction of the wall with his blind eyes.
Only then did Shen Xinyue realize that the tiger had actually been hit by an arrow.
And the person who shoots the arrow is Huo Weilou standing on the wall.
The tiger's target was diverted by Huo Weilou, and he swooped towards the room where the arrow was shooting.
However, it only hit the wall hard.
With this blow, the tiger almost used all his strength to smash the wall to the ground.
If this wall is smashed and the tiger escapes, it will definitely hurt the innocent villagers outside Zhuangzi.
Huo Weilou saw that the tiger was about to hit the wall, so in a hurry, he could only fly down and shoot an arrow at the tiger from a distance again.
The tiger was covered in scars, roared angrily, and suddenly opened its bloody mouth towards Huo Weilou.
It was too late to draw the bow, Huo Weilou suddenly drew his saber and slashed at the tiger's eyes and nose.
This knife was to the flesh, and the tiger became more and more angry under the pain, and it was desperately entangled with Huo Weilou.
