In the past few days, Yuan Qingling has been feeling uneasy, always feeling that something will happen.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was finally willing to enter the city.
This time, the emperor still issued an order, calling all the princes and officials to greet him at the city gate.
However, this time, eight chariots were sent to welcome Zhenbei Hou into the palace to wash away his dust.
Originally, the King of Wei planned to send his old friend to Mingyue Temple today, but because of the imperial decree to greet the Marquis of Zhenbei at the city gate, he was secretly happy and could delay it for one more day.
Yuan Qingling also knew that they were going to the city gate to pick up the Marquis of Zhenbei today.
The person Zhenbeihou had been in her mind for many days. Finally, this person was slowly moving from imagination to reality.
Therefore, she was also quite nervous and could not think about Princess Wei for a while.
Prince Wei's Mansion.
It turns out that she woke up early today. After King Wei went out, she felt tired and fell asleep again.
This time I fell asleep, I felt like I was experiencing an exhausting dream, I wanted to wake up, but I couldn't.
She felt like she was lying in the carriage, and there was a lot of noise in her ears, but she couldn't raise her eyes.
Finally, in the darkness, he gradually fell asleep.
She was woken up by the cold.
The coldness invaded her bones, causing her to wake up suddenly from her sleep. Even before she opened her eyes, she could already feel the whistling wind in her ears.
"Guzhi, are you awake?" A gentle voice sounded in his ears. Guzhi suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the gentle and calm face of Princess Wei.
She was startled and her voice changed in tone, "Prince...concubine?"
She immediately felt that she was hanging in the air. She looked down and trembled with fear.
She was tied up on the tower, with her back against the wall and her face hanging in the air. Below were the crowds that had just gradually dispersed. The noise continued to come, and in the distance one could see a large procession to welcome the Marquis of Zhenbei, meandering towards the city.
She screamed uncontrollably.
Princess Wei comforted her softly, "My dear friend, don't be afraid. I have already sent someone to notify the prince, and he will come to rescue you in a moment."
In her hand, she held two pieces of flint intentionally or unintentionally, and the light of the fire flickered, reflecting into her bottomless eyes.
The old friend smelled the smell on his body and his scalp was numb with shock. "You...what did you pour on me?"
Princess Wei smiled and said, "It's kerosene."
She got a small stool from nowhere and sat down. Her position happened to be stuck in a recess, where two or three people could stand. But now that her small stool was placed, there was no extra space.
The people who were watching below heard the screams and looked up one after another, only to see a woman in pajamas tied to her head with her feet dangling in the air, looking very dangerous.
The people below could not see Princess Wei, because when she sat down, she was blocked by the wall of the city tower.
The old friend was so frightened that she almost fainted. She looked at Princess Wei in horror, "You...what do you want to do?"
Princess Wei looked at the boundless sky. In this winter, everything she could see was desolate, not even a green leaf could be seen.
She slowly withdrew her eyes and said absently, "I didn't want to do anything."
She looked over and sighed: "Your husband has not arrived yet. He knows that I am patient, so I will just wait. I know that it took a lot of effort to get you here, and my legs and feet are not convenient. Now I should
It must be bleeding."
She opened her skirt and took a look, and sure enough she saw blood oozing from her legs. She took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve pocket and wrapped it tightly.
Seeing her like this, I was so frightened that my heart almost jumped out of my chest, and I screamed miserably, "Your Majesty, save me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a horse galloping to the city gate. After he dismounted, he quickly went around the city tower.
"Ms. Cui, what do you want to do?" The person who came was the panicked King Wei. His face was filled with anger and his eyes were red.
When the old friend saw him coming, he breathed a sigh of relief, but started crying, "Your Majesty, save me."
"Old friend!" King Wei was so anxious that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he stared at Princess Wei angrily.
Princess Wei put down her skirt, slowly stood up and looked at King Wei, who was walking over quickly. She said, "Just stand there and don't come over. Otherwise, I will either light a fire or cut off the rope to make her fall."
"Ms. Cui, I know that if there is any harm, I will kill you." King Wei said angrily.
On the city tower, the wind was very strong, blowing the mottled stone holes in the city wall. The sound was like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, and the people below were talking one after another, and the sound was endless.
"It doesn't matter." It was Princess Wei's voice, but she seemed to be saying it to herself, not to anyone else.
"Ms. Cui, what do you want to do? Why don't you come to me? Don't embarrass me. She is pregnant." King Wei tried to go over cautiously and saw a dagger in Princess Wei's hand. The dagger was pointed directly at her.
Holding his old friend's neck, he immediately stopped, with ferocious anger on his face.
The old friend was so frightened that she screamed and begged: "Princess, you have always been kind, please let me go."
, if you want me to leave the prince, I will leave immediately."
Princess Wei looked at her old friend's face that was pale with fright and asked: "My dear friend, I ask you a question and you answer it truthfully, otherwise, I will light you on fire and burn you to death."
The old friend almost fainted, how could he still dare to say no? Then he said repeatedly: "Princess, please ask."
Princess Wei asked: "That day he took the abortion pill to harm my child. Did you know about this in advance?"
A trace of panic flashed across Guzhi's eyes, and he shook his head subconsciously.
Princess Wei's dagger touched her flesh, and she felt sharp pain. She was so frightened that she quickly said: "I know, I know, but I can't stop it. Your Majesty insists on doing this."
The dagger slowly slid down Guzhi's abdomen. Guzhi's whole body was trembling, his muscles tightened, fear and shock.
King Wei was so nervous that his heart was about to beat, lest she stab him with a knife.
Princess Wei kept the dagger on her abdomen and made no move.
At this moment, for King Wei, it was simply suffering and torture. His heart was hanging in his throat and he couldn't even scream.
"Do you feel sorry for your child?" Princess Wei finally had tears in her eyes, but she raised her head, forced the tears back, and laughed again, "If I kill you with this knife, your child will too.
die."
King Wei stared at her and took a step forward nervously, "Ms. Cui, put down the dagger. We have something to talk about."
Princess Wei said: "Actually, I tied her here just to talk to you calmly."
She looked down, there were more and more people, and she couldn't see every face clearly, but she knew that everyone was accusing her of cruelty.
The king of Wei did not dare to stab
He provoked her and said, "Okay, you say it, you say it."
Princess Wei moved the dagger away, and Gu Zhi went limp, gasping for air.
She looked at her wrist and saw that the bell had been removed.
Princess Wei said: "I know you are proficient in illusions, so when I kidnapped you, I took off your copper bell."
