The 210th time, the capital punishment was sentenced again, and the mark was removed at night
"Jizhu, you can tell me the truth of the matter now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the martial arts garden, Shangguan Yunrui asked anxiously.
Ji Zhu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Yunrui.
"This is my father's suicide note, and the leader of the Shangguan League will know it after reading it. ”
Shangguan Yunrui looked hesitant, but looking at Ji Zhu's determined expression, he still slowly unfolded the paper in his hand.
His eyes moved with the words, and before he could read a few lines, Shangguan Yunrui was stunned for a moment.
"How can this be reasonable, there are still such inhumane people in the world, in order to cover up their ugly deeds, not only sent people to hunt down and kill their own sons, but also killed innocent people, framing Zhongliang! This emperor, although he died, could not relieve his hatred!" Shangguan Yunrui slapped his palm on the table after reading the contents of the suicide note.
"Ji Zhu's father fought on the battlefield for the emperor's birth and death, but the emperor killed Ji Zhu's whole family because he wanted to kill him, and in the end, he didn't even let my father and mother go!" Mei Songzhu said hatefully.
Mei Songzhu went to find Ji Zhu after leaving Wulin Yuan at that time, and Ji Zhu and the other two sisters of Wuzhuang went to find their eldest sister Leng Yuebing and went out, so he pounced.
After waiting for a long time in the dance village, the bamboo and the others finally returned.
The three people who came back had gloomy faces.
After inquiry, they learned that they had received a message from a mysterious person this time, saying that there was news of Leng Yuebing.
When they arrived at the address mentioned by the mysterious man, they found that there was no trace of Leng Yuebing at all.
There, there was only one lonely grave.
The three of them hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to open the coffin.
And the result after opening the coffin was not bad as they expected, and it was Leng Yuebing lying in the grave.
The three of them were grief-stricken and reburied Leng Yuebing before reluctantly returning to the dance house.
Since then, Mei Songzhu has been staying in the dance village, ignoring foreign affairs, and living the sunset and sunset days with Jizhu and them.
Until that day, Jing Mengya saw the emperor list on the street.
Chen Jian was sentenced to death.
Only then did a few people know what was happening these days.
Mei Songzhu rushed to the palace to save people as soon as possible, but was stopped by Ji Zhu.
Zheng Zhu handed Guo Xing's suicide note to Mei Songzhu, and the two planned to hand it over to the emperor in person on the day of the execution.
successfully rescued Jian Chen, Mei Songzhu led Zhu back to Wulin Garden.
Now, they told Shangguan Yunrui everything and waited for his reply.
"Ji Zhu, you quickly follow me into the palace and go to meet the emperor. Jian Chen knew that he was not Yan Songhe's son, and he would definitely not apologize for him again!" Shangguan Yunrui finally spoke.
"Alliance leader, don't act rashly in this matter. Lu Lingyue reminded Shangguan Yunrui, "We are still not sure if Jian Chen knows his background or not. ”
"What do you mean?" Shangguan Yunrui said.
Just next to the gallows, his subordinates were standing beside Jian Chen, and when the eunuch went to check the birthmark on Jian Chen's waist, his subordinates noticed that his expression had not changed much. Obviously, Jian Chen should have known his background for a long time. ”
Since he knew, why did he still apologize for Yan Songhe. Shangguan Yunrui said angrily.
"Perhaps, Jian Chen has his own considerations. Lu Lingyue said.
"What does this fool want to do?" Shangguan Yunrui was angry.
"Now the plan, we should be quiet and not move, the emperor already knows Chen Jian's background, we might as well see what he does first. Lu Lingyue suggested.
Shangguan Yunrui didn't speak, and now he really doesn't know how he has decided.
If Jian Chen really knew his identity and was willing to take the blame for Yan Songhe, then even if he forcibly went to the palace to pull people, he would not be able to save his life.
What should I do?
Inside the Royal Palace.
Jian Chen knelt in the imperial study, the emperor was staring at him closely, and neither of them spoke.
"You already know your background, don't you?" After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.
Jian Chen looked at the emperor and nodded.
He was his own brother.
Jian Chen's expression was different from usual when he looked at the emperor now.
He didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would still be able to see his true relatives.
However, why did he not have the slightest sense of joy, but some of them were very sad.
"Since you are not Yan Songhe's son, why do you want to take the blame for him!" the emperor couldn't understand what Jian Chen was thinking.
Since he knew that he was a prince and such a glorious identity, why did he bent on death!
"Even if I don't apologize for him, will the emperor let me go?"
"You are my own brother, why should I harm you!" the emperor was puzzled.
"Has the emperor forgotten? How did my brother come about? My existence is the biggest stain on the emperor, can the emperor reveal my life history to the world? Can you tell the world that the emperor had me because he violated my mother!" Chen Jian was very excited.
"This -----," the emperor hesitated.
Chen Jian is right, his identity cannot be disclosed, otherwise what is the royal face!
"Also, my existence is a threat to the emperor. When I was the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, the emperor was wary of me in every way, for fear that one day the Martial Arts Garden would be unfavorable to the court and affect the emperor's dragon chair. Now, I have the identity of a prince again, can the emperor rest assured that I exist in this world and be your eternal threat?" Chen Jian said something that the emperor had not yet thought of but would eventually think of.
Jian Chen, you are right again, why can you say what is on my mind every time.
Therefore, Chen Jian has no way out, and there is only a dead end in front of Chen Jian. The emperor doesn't have to worry, he doesn't have to care about my identity, as long as I am still Yan Songhe's son, I can be executed according to the previous holy decree!" Jian Chen looked directly at the emperor.
Brother, I have already told you your worries and your concerns as the head of a country, and now, the decision is up to you, whether you choose me as a younger brother, or your imperial power, your throne, I am waiting for your answer.
Chen Jian said secretly in his heart.
The emperor was silent, and what Jian Chen said pierced his heart.
As a king, in the face of this person, he should quickly end his life, but after all, he is close to his own flesh and blood, so how can he bear it?
However, the royal family has always only paid attention to family affection, and the righteousness of father and son, brotherly affection, are all just a tool in the struggle for imperial power.
For the person in front of him who posed a great threat to himself, this person whom the emperor had hunted down and killed, why should he go to protect him, protect him and sacrifice himself? How can you do such a stupid thing?
The emperor's face changed from a tangled contradiction to a firm indifference.
"Someone!" shouted the Emperor.
Several guards pushed the door open.
"Put Jian Chen in the prison and behead him at noon tomorrow!"
You still choose your imperial power in the end.
Jian Chen suddenly smiled as he listened to the emperor's final decision.
It's that I'm too extravagant, extravagant for royalty and brotherhood.
I am already bent on death, why should I give myself hope and let all hope be dashed.
Jian Chen was escorted away by the guards, and the emperor looked at his lonely back, trying to suppress the unbearability in his heart.
"Alliance leader, find out. Lu Lingyue came to Shangguan Yunrui.
"What news, say it quickly. Shangguan Yunrui said urgently.
Lu Lingyue hesitated, "Tomorrow at noon, beheaded!"
"What!" everyone present was shocked.
"Didn't the emperor know Jian Chen's background, why did he still want to?"
Lu Lingyue said, "The royal family has always only talked about power struggles, with Chen Jian's martial arts and fame, if his identity is restored, it will inevitably pose a threat to the emperor, so it is reasonable for him to want to kill him, it's just ---" Lu Lingyue looked at Qi Zhu, "Since the emperor has made a killing move, the girl had better avoid it, you know the matter of the emperor back then, and he is the best witness to Jian Chen's identity, so he will definitely do something to you!"
"This dog emperor!" Shangguan Yunrui said angrily, "I'll kill him tonight!"
Everyone didn't speak, just looked at Shangguan Yunrui quietly.
Shangguan Yunrui suppressed the anger in his heart and instructed Mei Songzhu, "Second Brother Mei, you quickly take Ji Zhu away." Wulin Yuan is not safe, and the emperor will definitely find it here. ”
Mei Songzhu nodded, pulled up the bamboo and left in a hurry.
Shangguan Yunrui turned his head to look at Lu Lingyue.
"Fourth brother, do you think I'm going to enter the palace tonight?"
"What can you do if you enter the palace? Jian Chen has made up his mind, you can't persuade him, and the emperor will definitely not change his mind because of your words from the alliance leader, we might as well discuss here and rob the prisoner tomorrow!"
"Prisoner robbery!"
Anyway, there is only one way to go.
Even if the entire Wulin Yuan is the enemy of the imperial court because of this, even if I, Shangguan Yunrui, have to spend the second half of my life absconding, I will definitely save you!
Chen Jian lay in the prison, looking out the window in a daze.
For so long, this prison has become his home, and he runs inside twice in three days. But tomorrow it should be over.
Senior brother, will you come to save me tomorrow? Chen Jianxin said, with your temper, you will definitely not let me die.
But if for my own sake, let you, let the entire Wulin Yuan fall into trouble, I will definitely not allow it.
If you come to save me, Jian Chen will have to take the first step.
In the midst of his own calculations, he overheard that the cell door was opened.
Jian Chen sat up and saw the emperor walk into the prison with his guards.
"Do it!" the emperor gave the order, and several guards behind him stepped forward to set up Jian Chen.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" Chen Jian saw the emperor pick up the tongs on the fire rack.
The emperor winked, and the two guards on the left and right desperately pressed down Chen Jian's arm.
A eunuch stepped forward and tore off Jian Chen's prison clothes.
The emperor didn't wait for Jian Chen to ask, picked up the tongs and scalded them towards the mark on Jian Chen's waist.
"Ahh
The emperor held the tongs and scalded Chen Jian's waist, and soon, the sound of skin and flesh being roasted by the fire filled Chen Jian's ears.
The emperor put away the tongs, and the guards who held down Chen Jian also let go, and Chen Jian fell to the ground in an instant.
"Your Majesty, you are really so ruthless, even this only mark you have to erase it!" Chen Jian lay on the ground, looking at the emperor in front of him in despair, and there was a burst of pain in his waist.
