Mingzhu thought that she would be taken to a dark room and executed like in the TV series. But she didn’t expect that two eunuchs dragged Mingzhu and swerved to a rockery.
Behind the scenes, when Mingzhu saw this rockery, she temporarily forgot about her impending doom, and smiled bitterly and thought to herself in her heart:
'In ancient times, the land was so vast and sparsely populated. In the courtyard where a concubine lived, there would be a garden, a creek, and a rockery. This is really good. When you have nothing to do, you can enjoy yourself and nourish yourself. When you really need it,
, you can also kill people, just like now, in such a corner, you can kill me casually, dig a hole and bury me, and you can definitely do it without anyone noticing.'
Pushing aside the weeds and shrubs growing freely behind the rockery, and walking to the rockery, you can see a small iron gate installed on the rockery. A eunuch took out the key, opened the iron gate, and pushed the pearl into the rockery.
After entering, there is a small cave behind the iron gate, which can only accommodate one person to turn around. Now that three people have squeezed in, there is no room in the cave to even raise their hands.
Mingzhu straightened up and found that she could touch the roof of the cave if she raised her head just a little. Now she really wanted to believe that this cave was specially used for killing people.
Neither of the two eunuchs looked at the pearl. They both stared at the stone on the cave wall. One of them said dryly:
"Girl, don't bear grudges against our brothers. We have nothing to do. We work as servants and obey others. If you want to blame, you should blame yourself for your bad luck and offending these big shots. Be obedient, girl, and drink this glass of wine.
"There are no young or old on the road to hell. Die early and take care of children early. In your next life, you will be born into a good family. If you have the ability, you will be a princess, empress or something like that in your next life. We will follow your orders."
As the eunuch spoke, he picked up the poisoned wine. Mingzhu looked at the small jug and leaned back hard, trying to stay away from the jug. At the same time, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile, although
She also knew that there was no use laughing now, because it was very dark in the cave and she couldn't see anything:
"Brothers, don't worry. I won't bear any grudge against you. Do you think this is okay? You can leave the poisoned wine to me and I will drink it slowly. Don't worry. You can lock the door and I won't be able to escape.
"Mingzhu tried to make a final struggle.
The eunuch sneered:
"Girl, stop dreaming. It seems that you really don't understand our Shangguan empress. If we dare not feed you poisonous wine with our own hands and watch you die with our own eyes, then until it gets dark today, we two brothers will
Someone gave me poisonous wine."
Mingzhu quickly seized this opportunity:
"Since she is so cruel, why do you still listen to her? If you follow her, even if you are lucky enough to survive this time, you may still die next time!"
The eunuch suddenly chuckled:
"What? Girl, are you trying to persuade us to betray your mother-in-law? It would be best if we take you with us when we escape? Girl, just give up. We won't run away, because if we do our job well, we will still be able to escape."
There is a possibility of living, but if we dare to run, we will be dead. Girl, just accept your fate, it is useless to say anything, you are dead today."
After the eunuch finished speaking, without allowing Mingzhu to speak, the two of them had a tacit understanding. One reached out and held Mingzhu's arm, while the other stretched out a hand and pinched Mingzhu's chin. Then with a strong force, Mingzhu's mouth was controlled.
He couldn't help but open his mouth, and with his other hand he raised the wine bottle, facing Mingzhu's mouth, and slowly poured the wine in the wine bottle...
Mingzhu closed her eyes in despair, and a string of cold tears oozed from the corners of her eyes. She really didn't expect that she would die in this place just when she was about to succeed after going through so many hardships:
"Mom, I'm sorry. Homura, can you hear me calling you?"
Yan screamed and jumped up. Master Zhong, who had been sitting opposite him and stared at him intently, was startled by him. It turned out that Yan had fallen asleep again just now with the help of Master Zhong, so,
As soon as Yan woke up, Master Zhong asked anxiously:
"What's wrong? What happened to Mingzhu again?"
At this time, Yan no longer had the composure of the past, his handsome facial features had been distorted to the point of deformation, and his face had turned blue. His eyes seemed to be fixed, and he looked at Master Zhong motionlessly, trembling so hard that he almost said
He was speechless for a long time before he said intermittently:
"Master, Mingzhu is being drunk with poisonous wine, go and save her!"
At this time, Li Chengqi and Princess Taiping had already broken into the palace of Queen Wei. Both Li Chengqi and Taiping grew up in the killing and fighting of the royal family, so as soon as they walked into the palace gate, they were already
I was clearly aware of the strangeness in the air today.
In the past, the maids and color girls who walked around in the harem have disappeared at this time, replaced by rows and rows of guards with bright armor and swords. And those who are often surrounded by people walking in various paths
The royal concubines on board were also missing.
The word ‘Palace Change!’ broke into the minds of Taiping and Li Chengqi almost at the same time.
Although Li Chengqi appeared calm on the surface, in fact, when he saw such a scene in the palace, his heart felt as if he had been scalded by hot oil. The situation was much more dangerous than he imagined. He was now even more worried.
He was worried about Mingzhu, so he couldn't help but take a big step and walked forward. But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt Taiping holding his sleeve behind him.
Li Chengqi looked back and found Princess Taiping looking at him intently with a strange expression:
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Li Chengqi asked.
Taiping suddenly smiled:
"Now, we have entered the palace. According to you, is there something going on in the palace or nothing?"
Li Chengqi was annoyed - this Princess Taiping was so treacherous that she had to let Li Chengqi say that something had happened! Normally, Li Chengqi would have been patient enough to accompany her around because Li Chengqi was always a very patient person. But today Li Chengqi
But he really wasn't in the mood anymore, so he answered simply:
"As far as my nephew is concerned, something happened."
Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly. Obviously, she didn't expect Li Chengqi to be so direct. After being stunned for a moment, Taiping asked again:
"Okay, since you also think something happened, I have to ask, what are your plans?"
Li Chengqi immediately understood what Taiping meant, bowed slightly and said:
"Since my nephew went to look for my aunt all night, he has made up his mind and will follow my aunt's lead."
Taiping still smiled:
"Do you really think so?"
Li Chengqi smiled freely:
"The current emperor is my uncle, and you are my aunt. Normally, there is no distinction between distance and distance. But if something happens to the emperor, then of course it is the aunt who is the aunt's relative." Li Chengqi said.
It was like telling Taiping clearly that he was ready to support Taiping and fight Empress Wei to the end.
But Taiping didn't buy it, she pressed and asked:
"Of course I am closer to my aunt than my aunt, but how about compared to your father and brothers? As far as I know, Saburo is a very ambitious man?"
Li Chengqi secretly resented that this Princess Taiping had learned the cruelty and suspicion of Queen Zetian, but not her wisdom, but there was no way, she had to deal with her now, so Li Chengqi said:
"Regardless of whether Sanlang is ambitious or not, now that my father is still alive, he has no reason to go beyond my father. Therefore, if there is any big event in the future, it will be my aunt who will discuss it with my father."
This is what Taiping wants, because she has always been afraid of the Li Longji brothers, not her own brother. As long as their brothers show that they will no longer compete for the throne, then she will be confident enough to defeat Li Dan.
"Okay," Taiping raised his head, "then let's go to see the Queen now and see what happened in the palace!"
At this time, the sergeant entrusted by Mingzhu was walking in the palace in confusion, his heart in confusion. He was not a bad person. When he first practiced martial arts and joined the army, he also had the idea of serving the country. But now,
The country failed to repay the favor, but it personally sent an innocent girl into the tiger's mouth. He knew that Fang Mingzhu was bound to die this time, and he really wanted to do something for this girl so that he could repay some of the crimes he had committed.
If Mingzhu had asked him to send a letter to her family, or even asked him to help fund some money for her family, he would not hesitate. But Mingzhu made such a request - to ask him to deliver a message to Wu Sansi.
A word!
The sergeant is not stupid. He knows that although he does not understand the words Mingzhu asked him to preach, Wu Sansi will definitely understand, and this sentence must be related to these current national events. If he preaches it, then
It's like being involved in this turmoil. If it doesn't work, I will die without a burial place like Mingzhu.
What if he doesn't pass it on? Of course there's no problem if he doesn't pass it on. Only he and Mingzhu know about this matter. But Mingzhu's tearful eyes have been hovering in front of his eyes, as if they have been looking expectantly.
He looked at him. He had no doubt that Mingzhu had been executed now. Could he really have the heart to not even fulfill this poor girl's last wish?
If this is the case, the sergeant feels that he cannot even forgive himself.
Perhaps it was God's will. Just when the sergeant was hesitating, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the distance, and a loud voice shouted:
"Bold, you even dare to stop me!"
The sergeant felt panic in his heart, because he had heard that it was Wu Sansi's voice. The sergeant looked up and sure enough, Wu Sansi was standing not far away, with a group of guards holding knives blocking him.
