Chapter 1: Love Extinguished
In the early spring of March, although the cold winter is about to pass, the snow that had fallen the day before has just begun to melt, and the temperature is still very low.
Every master's house in the palace of the king of Qi burned the stove vigorously, baking the whole house very warm.
Except for the Youxin Pavilion, not only is there no carbon fire, but there is not even an oil lamp.
In the huge hall, there is only a wooden bed, and nothing else.
A woman is tied to a wooden bed and described as withered. His face was dirty, his hair was dry and coagulated, he was skinny from long-term malnutrition, and there was not a trace of excess flesh on his body except for a piece of skin. The lower abdomen is high and high, and it is obvious that she has been pregnant for a long time.
The contrast between the bulging belly and the thin body looks even more eerie and eerie under the dim light of the snow.
The woman's eye sockets were empty, and the eyeballs had been gouged out, and only the corners of her eyes still had dried and blackened blood, which made her face terrifying.
It's just that even without eyes, her hideous face reveals her resentment and hatred, making her look like a ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell.
"Qi Siyuan, I swear by the soul of the Mu family's loyal martyrs for generations, you will not die well in this life and this life, and there will never be a peaceful day!"
"You and I were originally married to each other, but you spoiled your concubine and killed your wife! There is no distinction between right and wrong, grievances are unknown, gouging out my eyes, cutting off my meridians!"
"I hate you!
The woman cursed bitterly, and the shrill cries echoed through the empty palace, making people shudder.
The door of the main hall was suddenly opened, and a woman in brocade walked in surrounded by her.
She took out a handkerchief and covered her nose, and said with a smile: "My sister is really full of energy, not at all like she hasn't eaten for several days." ”
"Xie Wanyan, what are you doing? You are not poisoned?" Mu Youning said excitedly.
Because she was framed for poisoning Xie Wanyan, Qi Siyuan gouged out her eyes and broke her meridians, but Xie Wanyan was not poisoned!
"Naturally, I wasn't poisoned. My sister has been lying down for so many days, and she should be tired. Come on, help my sister up. Xie Wanyan waved her handkerchief in disgust.
The guards standing next to each other glanced at each other, and walked towards Mu Youning with ugly faces, and before they came into contact with people, they already smelled a strong smell of excrement.
The two resisted the urge to gag, held their breath, and rudely set the person up.
Xie Wanyan looked at Mu Youning's disgusted appearance, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes.
What about being noble, what about the general who was personally appointed by the emperor, now he is just a waste man who even the guards dislike.
Xie Wanyan walked towards her and smiled lightly, her voice was crisp, but it was poisonous, "Sister, don't you understand?" it was the prince who gouged out your eyes, it was the prince who abolished your martial arts and cut off your meridians, and whether I was poisoned or not was naturally the prince's decision." Do you think that there is anything in this Qi Palace's mansion that can escape his eyes?"
"From beginning to end, it's not that I want you to die, it's the prince...... I miss you to death. ”
"No! impossible!" Mu Youning wanted to struggle hard, but he was afraid of hurting the child in his stomach, so he could only shout with all his strength: "Qi Siyuan, he won't treat me like this, you lie to me, you lie to me!"
"Why deceive yourself, sister, you already know, don't you? You are a mighty Rakshasa general, how can you not see it. Xie Wanyan dismantled her lightly and pierced her heart, "By the way, sister, I'll tell you good news." ”
"Over the years, you have been bent on paving the way for the prince, even at the expense of threatening General Mu. Congratulations, your purpose has been accomplished! Today is the day when the prince enters the East Palace. It's a pity that you didn't have the position of the crown princess. ”
"Sister, do you know what the prince has done to make His Majesty's dragon heart happy?" Speaking of this, Xie Wanyan covered her lips and smiled, as if she had thought of something funny: "It was he who cut off his arm with his own hands, and sent His Majesty evidence of the Mu family's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country, which relieved Your Majesty of this serious trouble." Just ......"
Mu Youning suddenly felt uneasy, and his breathing became short.
Xie Wanyan looked at her reaction with satisfaction, but she still felt that it was not enough, and continued, "Tsk, Your Majesty was furious, and announced in court that the Mu family would be beheaded by the prince himself. ”
"So sister, I'm here to give gifts to my sister, and I hope my sister can see them for the last time. ”
"No, it's impossible, it's impossible! The Mu family has helped him so much, how could he make a move on the Mu family, I don't believe it! You're lying to me!" Mu Youning cried hysterically.
Xie Wanyan looked at her coldly, only feeling very happy in her heart.
"If my sister doesn't believe it, then just look at it. Xie Wanyan snorted coldly and clapped her hands.
A team of guards walked in carrying several wooden boxes, the bottom of which was stained red with blood, and it was still dripping blood.
The guards opened the box and poured out the contents.
Suddenly, the smell of blood filled the entire hall.
Several heads rolled out of the box, and above the heads, they were all staring at each other, and they didn't bat at each other!
One of them happened to roll at Mu Youning's feet.
Although Mu Youning can't see it, she grew up on the battlefield since she was a child, and she is most familiar with the smell of blood.
Her figure swayed, and if she hadn't been held up, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Let go of the princess. ”
Mu Youning's knees weakened and she fell to the ground, her hands trembling, and she picked up the head at her feet.
She shook her hand and touched it until she felt a scar on her forehead, and she suddenly screamed in pain.
"Ah!!h
This is her father, Mu Feng, the general of Zhenguo!
That scar was left by Mu Feng on the battlefield to save her.
The sad and desolate scream made the guards on the side unbearable to look at it anymore.
Mu Youning was desperate in his heart, and he just wanted to die with Xie Wanyan!
She carefully placed the head in her hand on the ground, pulled out a knife from the waist of the guard beside her, jumped hard, and rushed straight towards Xie Wanyan.
Everything happened too fast, and by the time everyone reacted, the tip of the knife in Mu Youning's hand was already close to Xie Wanyan's heart.
At this moment, a dagger appeared out of thin air, piercing Mu Youning's wrist and directly nailing her to the ground.
It's Qi Siyuan!
"Your Highness, I just scared my concubine to death. Xie Wanyan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly threw herself into Qi Siyuan's arms, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Holding the beautiful woman, the cold meaning on Qi Siyuan's face dissipated a lot, and he gently soothed.
Mu Youning was lying on the ground, the pain in his body was numb, but the hatred in his heart was surging like a wave.
Thinking that her Mu family has been loyal and martyred for generations, she ended up being beheaded all over the house, and now no one even has the bones to restrain her.
And the man she was thinking about, protecting with her life, not only killed her whole family, but was still in front of her at this time, holding other women, Qingqing me and me!
How could she not hate!
"Qi Siyuan, I have been married to you for three years, giving advice for you, and going into battle to kill the enemy. You said that the time has not come, don't want children, I will kill two children in a row. You said that the support of the Xie family is very important, and I will personally take a concubine for you and prepare the bride price. ”
"But in just half a year, just for this woman, you gouged out my eyes, cut off my meridians, and now you are killing my whole family! Qi Siyuan, you have a heart! You have a heart!!"
"Enough! Mu Youning, what I have loved from beginning to end is Wanyan, and marrying you is just to get the help of the Mu family. Everything you did was voluntary, so why complain about me now. Spare your life, I have done my duty. Qi Siyuan frowned impatiently.
A trace of resentment flashed in Xie Wanyan's eyes, she had done so much just to let Mu Youning die, how could she leave her alive.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the concubine's head hurts so much!" Xie Wanyan covered her forehead and said suddenly, glancing at the maidservant Qingluo.
Qingluo understood, and said in an anxious tone: "His Royal Highness the Prince, a few days ago, Niangniang was poisoned and has not been cured, but now I am afraid that it is poisoned." ”
"Quick, Imperial Doctor Xuan!" Qi Siyuan picked up Xie Wanyan and said hurriedly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Imperial Doctor has said the solution before, but it's just ......" Qingluo said while looking at Mu Youning obscurely.
"Say!"
"Need ...... It needs the heart and soul of the princess!"
Qi Siyuan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Mu Youning on the ground.
Immediately, he handed Xie Wanyan to Qingluo and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
"Don't, don't!!! Lord, my child is about to be born in a month. Please, give me a month, and when I give birth to a child, I can dig out my heart and give it to her. Mu Youning struggled to escape, but she couldn't move because her hands were firmly nailed to the ground, she trembled all over, and her mouth kept begging for mercy.
"That's what you owe me. Qi Siyuan pursed his lips and said.
"Don't! Qi Siyuan, you killed me all over the house, took my eyes, and now you don't even let go of your own parents and children, tiger poison doesn't eat children!"
Qi Siyuan ignored her struggles, glanced at her abdomen, and plunged the dagger in his hand into her heart.
Mu Youning trembled, grabbed his robe, and begged: "Dissect the child, beg...... Please!"
"Lord Wang!" Qingluo suddenly shouted eagerly.
Qi Siyuan came back to his senses, hurriedly handed the blood to Qingluo, picked up Xie Wanyan and left.
Mu Youning's empty eyes stared at the backs of the two of them who were drifting apart, and the hand that was always covering his stomach finally fell.
Qi Siyuan, Xie Wanyan! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely want you two to die a good death, so as to avenge today's blood feud!
