News of the dragon's resurgence came everywhere, and the terrifying evil aura made people feel terrified.

In a courtyard in the emperor's palace, under the high wall, several hundred-year-old pines swayed and swayed, looking tired under the dim dark clouds. The courtyard sits north and faces south, and on the open space to the east stands a wooden shelf, on which is tied a man with a split head and ragged clothes. Although he was in disarray, judging from the fabrics on his body and the fine patterns on his clothes, this person's status was by no means idle. On either side of the wooden frame stood four black-clad guards armed with short knives at their waists. All four of them were wearing black robes, and the wide hats that were integrated with the black robes were worn on their heads, covering their eerie faces, and only four pairs of eyes could be seen shining, like four ghosts as eerie and terrifying.

In the open space to the west are two carved mahogany and jewel-encrusted seats, the one on the left is tall and large, and the one on the right is slightly smaller. The civil and military ministers on the side stood neatly, some of them hung their heads and were silent, some of them were afraid and trembling, and their faces were very complicated, they were summoned into the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and they didn't know what was going on.

For the person tied on the wooden frame, the civil and military officials naturally recognized that it was the elder brother of King Jing's mother, and both of them were born to Concubine Fang.

"What law has this little prince violated?"

"I don't know. ”

Among the hundred officials, the two ministers were relatively low in grade and discussed each other, and an old minister was standing next to the two, looking at the court clothes on their bodies, the grade was slightly higher. The old man twisted his white beard under his chin, his eyes showed a bit of majesty, his face was calm, but he didn't dare to say it loudly, and said: "I heard that yesterday the prince broke into the queen's palace and scolded Princess Mingzhu because of his brother's affairs, and the emperor was very angry."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the two looked at each other, stunned.

"Isn't it just scolding?" another high-ranking official stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It is said that he also slapped the princess, I heard that Princess Mingzhu's cultivation is not low, but she didn't fight back, crying and going out of the palace." After saying that, the man glanced at the little prince who was tied to the wooden frame with some regret, sighed, and shook his head.

"So, how do you deal with that?" the two of them asked curiously.

"Ah, I don't know, I heard the eunuch in the palace say that Concubine Fang wanted to ask the queen to intercede, but was stopped by the emperor at the door, and Concubine Fang cried outside the gate all night!"

The two were about to ask again, when they heard an old eunuch shouting, "The emperor has arrived—"

The civil and military ministers knelt on the ground one after another, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live!"

The east gate is waving the flag, the team of hundreds of people in front of the team holds the gourd axe in front of the road, a large sedan chair carried by eight people comes smoothly, the sedan chair bearers are all wearing yellow robes, all of them are tall, the waist is round and the back is broad, and the tiger is vigorous, followed by a team of hundreds of palace maids, holding a long fan of feathers, a willow thin waist, pink face and bright eyes, like a fairy in the painting, fluttering and sprinkling. At the back was a team of eunuchs.

A group of people in front was already standing in the courtyard, and the emperor's palanquin also entered the gate, and the tail was not yet visible in the back team. The emperor got out of the sedan chair and sat down steadily on the wide seat, and the whole courtyard had a majestic air when it was neutral.

The scale of the emperor's honor guard was really huge, and those who did not enter the gate lined up neatly outside the courtyard gate. Then the concubines of each palace or rode in a sedan chair, and they all entered the courtyard like a cloud and mist, and stood behind the emperor's seat according to their respective grades and rules, and fell to the ground one after another.

"Let's all be flat!" The ministers and the concubines and eunuchs had already stood up, and the emperor glanced at the chair beside him out of the corner of his eye, frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "Why hasn't this girl arrived yet?" ”

An old eunuch beside him with a blushing beard stepped forward and whispered a few words respectfully, and a light smile flashed across the emperor's face when he heard this, and nodded, "This girl, then wait for her for a while." ”

The emperor sat upright, and the finches in the courtyard were silent, only a flock of birds on the branches of the trees did not know the height of the sky, and chirped wildly. The incense burner held by the palace maids was emitting wisps of faint smoke, spreading in the courtyard with the breeze, and the elegant aroma made people deaf and eye-catching.

After waiting for a short time, the old eunuch at the door shouted: "Princess Mingzhu has arrived-"

A cadre of courtiers and eunuchs and palace maids fell to their knees. The emperor and a group of concubines all looked at the gate leading to the courtyard. Not long after, Chu porcelain really appeared, the princess was still wearing her "Water Moon Blue Shirt", but the fabric of the shirt was replaced with high-quality silk, the color was bright and dazzling, and the soft texture showed the princess's perfect figure without reservation, and the jewels all over her body also made the princess's pretty face more pure and pure, which made everyone secretly admire in their hearts. However, Chu Ci only rode in an open sedan chair, carried by two small eunuchs with a relatively strong physique, followed by two old eunuchs on both sides, and followed by more than a dozen palace maids - the front two held incense burners, the back two staggered feather fans, and the middle few people were empty-handed. The guard of honor looked dry and deserted.

The emperor was stunned, and said unhappily in his heart: "The honor guard of 100 people has actually been simplified to this look, and it is not a system. ”

The two little eunuchs kept carrying the sedan chair in front of the emperor, and Chu Ci got off the sedan chair, bowed reluctantly, and said softly: "The son of the minister to see his father." ”

"Flatten! Flatten!" The emperor glanced at Chu Ci, pointed to the seat beside him, and ordered: "Sit down!"

"Yes!" Chu Ci replied and sat down steadily.

On this occasion, the people who can sit on an equal footing with the emperor are not only the queen mother, but also the queen mother, and they do not bow down to the knees, which shows that the emperor loves this daughter very much.

Seeing that the princess was seated, the minister of the criminal department stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, please ask the emperor for instructions." ”

"Hmm!" the emperor nodded majestically, glanced coldly at the prince who was tied to the wooden frame, and ordered: "Execution!"

"The emperor has decreed that the punishment will be moved—" The old eunuch shook the dust in his hand and shouted with unusual frustration. The old eunuch's voice echoed in the courtyard, startling a flock of birds on the branches, and fluttering away, as if they could not bear to look at the miserable scene.

The people in the courtyard held their breath and widened their eyes, waiting to see what kind of punishment would be inflicted on the prince. Chu Ci didn't know what this father was going to do, but he peeked at the prince who was already covered in bruises, and he had the heart to ask him for mercy, his eyes glanced at the emperor beside him, and he was a little timid, and he didn't want to talk to him, and he felt in his heart that it was nothing more than a few whips to beat him, so he didn't speak.

The four black-clothed men next to the wooden shelf didn't know what kind of magic they had used, and a cloud of evil qi flashed in the air for no reason, like a whirlpool that had been erected, and after a while, a monster came out of the black whirlpool.

The beast's forehead is wide and narrow, its face is pitch black, a pair of small eyes are shining green, its round body is covered with black and white stripes, covered with a layer of slender fluff, although it is standing on two legs, but it has a pair of arms more than a normal person, and it is not an arm, a pair of forearms on it has become a pair of sharp giant pincers, black as hard as iron, and the two arms below, the palms seem to be normal, but they are unusually sharp. This beast looks like a human and not a human, like an ant and not an ant, shaking its head and making a strange hissing sound in its throat.

As soon as they saw the beast, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and those harem concubines all gasped.

Chu Ci looked at the beast, her hair stood on end in fright, and a cool air rushed along her buttocks to the back of her head, and the long hair thrown on the ground trembled slightly. Knowing that something was wrong with the situation, although he was reluctant, he still turned his eyes to look at the emperor beside him and asked:

"Father, you are"

"Don't talk, just watch. The Emperor looked at the beast and sneered.

"Father, don't go too far. Chu Ci said in a low voice.

"A woman's kindness. ”

The father and daughter were whispering, but they saw a man in black commanding the beast, and the beast trembled step by step towards the little prince with a pale face.

"Father's life, father's life-" The little prince watched the beast approach him, struggling hard, and at that moment, he could no longer care about his face in front of the civil and military officials, and shouted loudly: "Erchen knows that he is wrong, Erchen knows that he is wrong" As he spoke, snot and tears flowed out together, and his body subconsciously dodged backwards, and his pants were wet.

"Father!" As soon as Chu Ci screamed, he felt that his body was suppressed by a powerful force, and he could no longer speak, nor could he stand up, he could only watch.

The beast squirted out a stream of slimy black liquid from its mouth, snapping and clinging to the little prince's handsome face.

"Ahh His tongue was also burned, and mucus was dripping down his tooth bones, and he could no longer make a sound, but the look of fear could still be seen on the right side of his face.

The beast did not stop, and stretched out a large pincer, like scissors to cut through a branch, and subtracted his right hand, and suddenly a bright red liquid gushed out like a fountain. The right hand that fell to the ground was still beating, and it was the hand he had hit Chu Ci. In the face of the tragic situation, the black-clothed man who tamed the beast was expressionless, and the beast bit the little prince's chest again, and the muscles on his chest were torn off, and his heart could be clearly seen pounding, and it was very fast. The beast slashed open his belly with its sharp claws, and its colorful intestines gushed out and dragged to the ground.

"Father" Chu Ci couldn't stand it anymore, although she didn't make a sound, but she spit it out, she felt that her appetite was not very good for a while, and she would be sick to her stomach when she saw greasy, and it had been two months since she had anything unique to girls

Chu Ci's vomiting drove a group of palace concubines behind him, but they didn't dare to vomit dirty things in front of the emperor, so they swallowed it back again.

When the emperor saw it, he relished it, and looked at his face as if he was enjoying a good play, quite the taste of the period of intoxication. Looking down and seeing the stolen goods that Chu Ci spit on his dragon robe, he grinned in disappointment, and a foul smell mixed with the blood of the prince and the rancid stench of venom drilled into his nose, and his face immediately sank. Seeing that Chu Ci vomited really uncomfortable, he ordered: "If it's really uncomfortable, go back!"

Chu Ci couldn't wait for him to say this, but his face was still painful, he nodded at the emperor, summoned his two little eunuchs, sat in the sedan chair and left without looking back.

The emperor looked at the vacant seat beside him, and when he thought of the sweet voice of Chu Ci when he called his father, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he immediately put away his smile and waved his hand towards the execution ground.

The man in black understood, and ordered the beast to empty the prince's heart and lungs, and eat it all.

The emperor got up and said, "See, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Mingzhu in the future, this will be your fate!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hula lala fell to his knees in the courtyard.
