Chapter 200: Moths to the Fire
Liu Jinfu's voice stopped abruptly, she held Jiang Ning's hand hard, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Jiang Ning's eyes opened twice as hard as she could, and finally opened them completely, she stared at Liu Jinfu's pale and haggard face, with confusion and confusion in her eyes.
"Why?" Jiang Ning's lips squirmed a little hard, her throat was dry, and she didn't seem to be used to speaking movements, and every syllable she spit out was extremely difficult.
Liu Jinfu hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the house and poured a glass of water for Jiang Ning, her movements were fast, so fast that people couldn't realize that there was anything inconvenient in her legs and feet.
In Jiang Ning's eyes, Liu Jinfu's disability on her leg is nothing to mention in front of her other advantages.
But she knew in her heart that on that day, on that execution ground, it was not only Liu Jinfu's leg that was shattered by a stick.
And some of the most important things in the depths of her soul.
Liu Jinfu came over with the teacup, she dragged Jiang Ning on the back of her head with one hand to help her up, and sent the tea towards Jiang Ning's lips with the other.
Jiang Ning's mouth approached, swallowed a mouthful, and a line of coldness instantly slipped into her abdomen, and Jiang Ning's whole person trembled.
Jiang Ning licked her lips, the dryness in her throat finally eased a little, she looked at Liu Jinfu's beautiful face, and repeated, "Why?" β
Liu Jinfu sighed slightly, and finally a little sad appeared between his eyebrows.
"For no reason, it's always been the way it has been, and no one wants to admit that it's a woman who stabilizes the border, or that they can't be believed. I'm a person like this, and I'm undoubtedly beating me hardβ"
She seemed to touch some unspeakable name, paused, and then turned her tone to the other side.
Jiang Ning knew that what she was going to say was Mu Jingzhao.
"The face of the ruler. If you want the country to be stable, you can't allow any other voices to be skeptical, so I'm not surprised at all. β
She spoke in a calm, calm tone, as if she were describing how perfect dinner had been.
If people don't know the truth of the matter, it will probably be difficult to associate her with the female general.
Jiang Ning looked at her, just looking at her quietly, looking at her eyes that were full of tears, and the face of the upside-down beings.
In a trance, she seemed to see the execution ground of that day, her posture was straight, there was arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes, and the wooden stick with the thickness of her arm hit her legs one by one.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
One by one, like the sound of someone's heartbeat.
The crowd in the audience cheered, and Liu Jinfu on the stage was proud.
As her leg bones were shattered, there was what little hope and fantasy she had left.
Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, frowned, and barely suppressed the nausea in her abdomen, she looked up at Liu Jinfu again.
"Why?" She continued.
Liu Jinfu gave her a breath again and again, and her voice was very soft, "Not everything in this world can be reasonable." This world is the emperor's world, and all those who violate the emperor will not have a good ending, it has always been like this, and there is no need for reason. β
"Don't you hate?" There was a slight tremor in Jiang Ning's voice.
"Hate, of course hate, as a subject of Gong Guo, I am loyal to the emperor of Gong Guo, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, from the time I chose this road, I have thought that this day will come." She held her chin up, her eyes wandered, and her thoughts seemed to drift far away.
"Actually, the situation is far better than I imagined, the emperor is merciful and spares me a cheap life." She spoke, her tone mocking, and she chuckled out a little weirdly.
"Girl, people always have to really live once in this life, as a woman, the best ending is to marry a good family and spend my life in peace, but if that's the case, I will never forgive myself in this life. I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling, I have to work hard for myself once, just once, even if the ending is broken. β
After Liu Jinfu finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a long time, Jiang Ning was silent for a long time, and finally, raised his hand and hugged her quietly.
They were so quiet, hugging each other hard, for themselves, for each other, for this powerless fate.
I don't know how long it has been, Liu Jinfu helped her, and his eyes surged with the unique seriousness of the elders.
"Girl, I know what you're thinking, under the suppression of absolute power, if you want revenge, you must trap yourself in that whirlpool, you and I are in the center of the whirlpool, and there is no way to be alone. The only option is to leave. β
Speaking of this, Liu Jinfu sighed lightly, "I can't break free anymore, take advantage of the fact that there is still a chance, let's go, girl." β
Jiang looked at her quietly, in fact, she knew very well in her heart that if she wanted to avenge her family, she had to involve herself in this struggle.
But once you're in, it's hard to get out.
She didn't want to, so she kept wandering on the edge of the whirlpool, ignoring it all.
She knew very well in her heart that Liu Jinfu was right, her best choice now was to leave and not have anything to do with these people.
But if she's gone, what about Ori Liu? What did she do?
Thinking of Zheliu, Jiang Ning's chest throbbed uncontrollably, and this short-term throbbing sensation instantly spread to her whole body, and even her limbs were temporarily in a state of paralysis.
She suddenly felt very powerless.
Jiang Ning felt that she should seek justice for Zheliu no matter what, which was what she had to do no matter what.
She knew that the willow was dying for her, and it was naturally self-evident who the plum blossom cake on her plate was really poisoning. If it weren't for Zheliu helping her eat the plum blossom cake, the last person to die would only be herself.
She had to get justice for Oriyu, which sounded stupid and powerless, but she had to do it.
Otherwise, she would not be able to forgive herself in this life.
Jiang Ning closed his eyes weakly, "That night, what happened later?" β
Liu Jinfu was silent for a long time, exhaled heavily, and then spoke, "It was found out that a palace maid was careless and executed." β
She said very simply, of course, Liu Jinfu naturally wouldn't believe these words, and Jiang Ning didn't believe it either.
Something like this has happened so many times that everyone seems to have tacitly embraced the peace in this way, killing a random person as a scapegoat, and then everyone as if nothing had happened.
No one cares what the truth is anyway.
What they need to know is that the emperor values Shen Tong so much that even if he dares to poison Concubine Ning in public at a family banquet, he will be understated.
Anyway, Concubine Ning didn't have any accidents, so wouldn't it be nice (end of this chapter)
