Chapter 87: Live and die together? No, my brain is broken!
Wei Yuan gave up the idea of using force to save Shangguan Xixue and made another request: "Can Wei go and see her?"
This time, Huang Chao and others did not refuse and asked someone to take Wei Yuan to where Shangguan Xixue was being held.
"Wei Gong, Queen Da Feng is here. Your visit time is only half an hour. Please don't do anything to embarrass us." The person who brought Wei Yuan explained a few words, opened the restriction, and let Wei Yuan in.
The sound of "squeaking" was heard as the door was pushed open. Shangguan Xixue, who was in a daze, followed the sound and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appearing at the door.
I didn't expect to see this figure again at this time. For a moment, tears burst from Shangguan Xixue's eyes.
Seeing her crying, Wei Yuan walked over, brushed away Shangguan Xixue's tears, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Although the ceremony is over, Shangguan Xixue's status as queen is gone, and her life is about to be lost, there is one thing that is good for Wei Yuan and Shangguan Xixue. They no longer have to worry about their status, but they can be together openly and honestly. This time they will not
With Shangguan Pei, Emperor Yuan Jing would not stop them.
This is the moment both of them have been dreaming about for decades!
Shangguan Xixue shook her head and said: "You shouldn't have come! You have suffered so many years of humiliation because of me. Don't do that for me anymore. I am already dying. You have to live well and take good care of Huaiqing for me...
…”
Listening to Shangguan Xixue's ramble, Wei Yuan said nothing. He wanted to take Shangguan Xixue away forcibly at this moment, but his reason told him that he couldn't do this, and he couldn't do it. Since he couldn't take her away, he couldn't.
There is no way to mitigate Shangguan Xixue's crime. Shangguan Xixue's execution is inevitable, so...
Wei Yuan had already decided in his heart that if we could not live together, we would die together. As for Shangguan Xixue asking him to live well and take good care of Huaiqing for her, he could only apologize.
Half an hour later, Wei Yuan came out of the room and saluted the person who brought him here: "Thank you, Your Excellency! Wei wants to see you all again, please let me know!"
Wei Yuan went to see Huang Chao and others again, and said directly: "Sorry for disturbing you again! Wei wants to ask you, can Wei carry out the execution of the queen?"
He no longer begged for Shangguan Xixue's punishment to be reduced, but he wanted him to be the one to do the execution so that he could die together with Shangguan Xixue.
Hearing this, Huang Chao and others did not know what Wei Yuan meant. This Duke of Wei wanted to live and die with Empress Da Feng, and they were moved by such deep affection.
You can be moved or moved, the rules are the rules, how can you change them just because you are moved? Moreover, as judges now, they must stand in a fair perspective and cannot act emotionally!
Acting emotionally may be in line with the people's sentiments, but what the people think may not necessarily be correct. For example, if a murderer is a filial son or a loving person, the people will be particularly moved by his filial piety and love, and demand a reduced sentence.
, then the crime must be reduced according to public opinion?
In the opinion of Huang Chao and others, this cannot be done. To reduce the crime of a murderer for this reason is unfair to the victim and unfair to the law. To reduce the crime because the people are moved, what the hell is this reason?
Wei Yuan's request did not allow for a reduction of guilt, but he wanted the right to execute people. This would set a precedent. If someone in the future wanted to personally execute his relatives or friends who had committed crimes, would he give it or not?
Everything must be under the law, and no favoritism is allowed!
Huang Chao said: "Forgive me, Mr. Wei, but I can't!"
After receiving the answer, Wei Yuan said nothing more, bowed to Huang Chao and others and left.
A few days later, a floating square floated over the capital of Dafeng, with projections on all sides, so that the people of Dafeng in the capital could see the scene in the square.
I saw many members of the royal family, princes and nobles standing in the square. These once high-ranking and powerful figures were now looking frightened because they knew the fate they were about to face. Only a few of them looked calm.
A person stood in the center of the square and announced loudly: "Shangguan Xixue, when she was the empress of Dafeng, because she deliberately protected her younger brother and murdered the palace maid, she is now sentenced to death and will be executed immediately!"
The people were in an uproar. Although they had known about it during the previous trial, they were still shocked. That was the queen, who was sentenced to death for harming a palace maid? The identities of the queen and the palace maid were not equal at all. How could the life of the little palace maid be compared with the queen?
?
When Huaiqing in the crowd saw this scene, he started to use his energy and blood to rush into the square to save his mother. When an old man in linen saw her move, he didn't know what she was going to do. He whispered, "You can't use your energy and blood here!"
Qing's energy and blood suddenly became silent.
Her blood was calmed down, and Huaiqing knew that someone was stopping her from saving her mother. She searched the crowd, and soon saw the old man in sackcloth, and recognized him at a glance as the dean of Dafeng Yunlu Academy, a leading figure in contemporary Confucianism, the third grade
Zhao Shou in the destiny realm.
Zhao Shouchong shook his head at Huaiqing and signaled her not to act rashly, but it was his mother who was about to be executed, so how could Huaiqing give up?
She desperately circulated her energy and blood, trying to break through Zhao Shou's words and actions. At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, an amazing energy flow came from the sky, and a figure appeared in the distant sky, looking towards the square.
The figure was wearing a sky-blue clothes embroidered with complex cloud patterns, his black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, his temples were frosty white, his face was fair and beardless, his temperament was elegant and handsome, if not Wei Yuan, who could he be?
Wei Qingyi appears now, is he going to force his way into the square to save people?
All the people were shocked!
But Wei Yuan did not save anyone, but looked at Shangguan Xixue in the square and mouthed: If we can't live together, then we will die together!
In the square, one person pointed out and fell towards Da Feng Queen Shangguan Xixue. Her brain and heart were destroyed from the inside, but Shangguan Xixue was not afraid at all at this time. She only looked at the figure in the sky in the distance, and her
At the same time as his death, the figure was disintegrating, disintegrating and dying.
Seeing her mother and her mentor dying together, Huaiqing no longer circulated her energy and blood, but just stood there and stared blankly. She had an idea in her heart that maybe this ending would be better for Master Wei and his mother.
Wei Qingyi actually died with the queen?
All the people were stunned.
After Shangguan Xixue died, his soul escaped from his body, and Wei Yuan's soul also appeared. Everyone saw two souls embracing each other in the sky, and then disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the place where the soul disappeared, Xu Qian sighed: "Wei Gong finally achieved his lifelong wish!"
Although in a way that both of them die.
On the Star Observation Tower, Xu Qian and Jian Zheng were standing together. Jian Zheng asked, "What do fellow Taoists think?"
Xu Qian smiled and said: "What do I think? It's just a matter of resentment against a crazy man and a woman. He didn't grasp the key to the problem. It was like this decades ago and it will still be like this decades later."
"Decades ago, if he could reach the first level of cultivation, wouldn't it be easy to take back Shangguan Xixue? But he chose to endure it and ruined his own cultivation for Shangguan Xixue."
"Decades later, this scene seems tragic and emotional, but he has a better choice, that is, after Shangguan Xixue's death, collect her soul and bring her back to life, isn't that good?"
"For the crime Shangguan Xixue committed, he was not punished to have his body disintegrated and his soul destroyed! Instead, he chose to die with Shangguan Xixue, and his brain was damaged!"
After hearing Xu Qian's words, the prison guard was silent for a while. After analyzing such a touching scene, he actually came to the conclusion that "the brain is broken."
