Chapter 1 Poisoning the Prince
[69 Book Bar-www.] Canghuang Continent, southeast, northwest, and four kingdoms.
On the tenth day of the second lunar month, in the gray night sky, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, with seven stars in a row.
This spectacle makes people marvel at it, but little did they know that it heralded the source of disaster and the birth of the demon.
On the border of Yunqing Kingdom, on the top of Xianling Mountain, and on the top of Xianyou Viewing, stood a white figure, looking into the sky and observing the stars.
"The five-hundred-year period is approaching, and it seems that the world is about to experience another great catastrophe!" The rich and vicissitudes of the voice came to mind, full of helplessness and sighs.
When a red light flashed across the sky, the white shadow suddenly disappeared.
=============
Qingyun Kingdom, Jincheng, Kyoto.
Jincheng has magnificent buildings, prosperous commerce, and surging crowds. It is very lively. At first glance, it looks like a peaceful and prosperous country, where the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But······
"I heard that the emperor is going to burn the Duanmu Huoqin outside the palace gate. Come and have a look!" Suddenly, a male voice sounded, and the whole street immediately stirred. Everyone ran in one direction, for fear of missing something.
It's a great show, but you will regret it for the rest of your life.
At this time, in front of the palace gate.
I saw a woman tied up on a platform surrounded by officers and soldiers. Her body was stained with blood and her clothes were ragged. You could see through the torn clothes that her body and face were full of traces of being whipped.
The flesh and blood were blurred, shocking, and he was already dying.
Around the platform where the woman was tied, there was a pile of dry firewood, which had been poured with oil. Next to it stood a fierce man in a vest, with one hand on his waist and the other holding a torch, as if he was waiting for something.
Just give the order, and he will throw the torch in his hand at the dry firewood under the woman's body.
What crime did this woman commit to deserve this cruel punishment?
"Let me in, please, let me in." A 30-year-old woman in plain clothes who was crying so hard tried to rush toward the center, but was blocked by officers and soldiers. She kept struggling and begging.
Although the woman is only about thirty years old, her complexion has become thin and yellow due to years of fatigue and suffering.
"Please, please, please let me see my young lady!" the woman begged relentlessly.
"Yulian, that's enough." In vain, a stern and rich male voice came, interrupting the woman's cry.
The person who spoke to stop him was a man in his forties wearing a dark brocade robe, with a strong look of sullenness and disgust in his brows. This man was Duan Muming, the left prime minister of Yunqing Kingdom, and the woman who was about to be burned was
She is her eldest daughter, Duanmu Huoqin.
"Master, please, please save the lady! She is your own daughter!" Seeing the person coming, Yu Lian knelt down and begged.
As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so she tried to impress him with family affection, but it was of no use.
In fact, she shouldn't have extravagant expectations. It's been like this for so many years, right?
"She asked for it. She poisoned the prince. It wasn't as simple as being burned to death. Fortunately, the prince's life is no longer in danger. Otherwise, it would be strange if the Duanmu family didn't be harmed by this rebellious woman and destroy all nine clans." There was no trace of the man's voice.
Pity, but also full of ruthlessness, and even more resentment towards the Duanmu Huoqin.
Yes, resentment, how can you not resent it? Poisoning the prince was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans. If the prince had not died, and the emperor thought that she was mentally retarded and stupid, and the emperor was also somewhat afraid of his power, Duanmu would not be implicated.
