2760. Chapter 2760 Disturbing a chess game in the world [07]
She couldn't explain the reason for the panic in her heart and how it was caused. Could it be because she felt guilty?
Because there was no real crime against Shen Mingzhu, she was convicted based on the prophecy of a living Buddha, and the emperor ordered her to be killed.
Princess Lanling knew deep down in her heart that this kind of thing was wrong and untenable, but she had no choice but torn between her conscience and her sense of responsibility.
When she was just identified, Shen Mingzhu's face was still calm, and she didn't even show any signs of depression or resentment.
In the eyes of Princess Lanling at that time, Shen Mingzhu's beauty at this time had a thrilling feeling, just like the clouds in the sky, long and thin, giving no chance for people to seize.
She is no longer superficially beautiful, but has a strong, glamorous, cold, aloof look that makes people feel like she is emanating from her bones.
When Princess Lanling faced her, she felt that Shen Mingzhu was the supervisor and she was the one who was beheaded. She didn't know why she felt this way.
Moreover, Shen Mingzhu even smiled at her and whispered calmly and mockingly: "Princess, what are you afraid of?"
Scared, yes.
Shen Mingzhu saw through her, she was just afraid.
So after Shen Mingzhu said those words, she hurriedly stepped back and asked people to take Shen Mingzhu to the green cloth curtain on the high platform.
Then she sadly returned and sat on the beheading platform.
The high platform was surrounded by green cloth curtains. At this time, the side facing the beheading platform was open, and the other three sides were surrounded. When the beheading was about to take place, someone would pull up a three-foot white silk curtain in front of her.
The moment the head falls to the ground, Bai Ling will take it and let her blood splash on the white silk, so that the head will be directly pocketed into the white silk instead of being stained with dust.
This is true for all royal women who did not die for treason. It is said that they will remain pure after death without spilling their blood, and they can still be reborn into good families.
This is how a princess is treated.
Princess Lanling was in a daze, listening to the people next to her telling them what time it was, and it would be noon in a while.
She tilted her head and asked, "Is there any news from the palace?"
The lieutenant general shook his head and said, "Reporting to the eldest princess, no, your majesty is still resting and has not woken up. The empress is accompanying you in Qianqing Palace. Her wishes remain the same. As soon as three quarters to noon comes, the punishment will be announced immediately!"
Princess Lanling nodded.
The time was getting closer and closer, and then the bell tower rang the noon bell, which kept ringing, long and lingering.
There were tens of thousands of people in the huge square, and suddenly there was no sound. The surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the hissing sound of the hourglass, as if it was a seducer sent from hell.
It's already noon, and there are still three quarters before the official punishment is announced.
Suddenly, someone almost collapsed and started shouting, "Let the princess go, the princess is a good person!"
Whether the princess actually killed someone or not, it didn't matter to them. They felt that the princess was a good person and she didn't deserve to die.
When someone calls out, there are hundreds of responses, like a tide, and people kneel down one after another.
Some people even started to clash with the soldiers again.
The instructions those soldiers received were not to massacre innocent people unless ordered by the palace to avoid intensifying conflicts.
At this time, a man shouted, wanting to defend the princess. He was so strong that he knocked several soldiers to the ground in one fell swoop.
