Chapter 203

203 dilemma

Zhao Mingde * s breath gradually faintly descended, and the body that lost his legs and left arm looked as if he had been made into a human being. He supported the ground with his only half arm and tried to climb towards the door step by step: "please... Please kill me..."

Rao Shi, Wu Heizi and others are used to seeing the blood on the battlefield. Seeing Zhao Mingde like this, they are still shocked. Zhao Mingde has always been the gentle and elegant military master in their eyes. No one can dream that the bloody and flesh blurred thing in front of them will be Zhao Mingde?

Wu sunspot Shua pulled out his waist sword and walked towards Zhao Mingde, who had only a trunk left. He is a traitor. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Huo family army died because of him. Wu Heizi's heart for his comrades in arms has long been wiped out, and all that remains is his hatred for eating his flesh. But hate is hate, and killing is not too much. Zhao Mingde has been punished. There is no reason for him to continue to suffer piecemeal torture like this.

Let him personally result in Zhao Mingde's life. He not only avenged those soldiers, but also retained the last bit of dignity for Zhao Mingde, which was counted as the last friendship of their comrades in arms who had fought side by side.

Huo Qijun stopped him expressionless.

"General, this..." Wu Heizi returned to the scabbard and looked puzzled. It's normal to have life and death on the battlefield. In his heart, the general is not a man who likes to torture prisoners. Why don't you let him kill Zhao Mingde?

"It's still useful to keep this man." Huo Qijun explained faintly. Then he ignored others and got up and left.

Wu Heizi looked at the tall and handsome figure gradually disappearing, and looked at the bloody mass in front of him. What's the use of keeping this man? No, can this lump on the ground be called a man?

As soon as the general gave orders, his subordinates quickly carried Zhao Mingde's body out of the room, wrapped the wounds on his limbs with a cloth to stop bleeding. Zhao Mingde's whole body was wrapped like a mummy, and his mouth was torn by a fierce tiger. He couldn't swallow food. The doctor opened a small hole in his throat with a knife, The milk was poured directly into the hole.

Wu Heizi sighed. Zhao Mingde could not survive or die if he lived like this. If he were Zhao Mingde, I'm afraid he decided not to live a little longer.

Alas, the general has become more and more abnormal since his wife disappeared. Now even after more than ten years with the general, he can't touch the general's mind

Regent's house.

Xu Mingzhu tossed and turned for several days. Du zapeng's affairs were like a thorn in her heart, which made her restless all the time.

The son of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment fell into the water and died in the palace for no reason. Normal people will feel that there is something strange. Xu Mingzhu doesn't know how empress Yan Ru explained to the people of Shangshu house. The people of Shangshu house obediently took her son's body back to the house and did a big funeral.

Everything seemed to calm down, and Xu Mingzhu comforted herself. But when she went to the old princess to ask for peace that day, she accidentally met Du zapeng's mother, the wife of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment.

Mrs. Shangshu exchanged greetings with the old imperial concubine, then looked at her impatiently and asked, "princess, I think the princess has heard about my son Du zapeng. I heard from the people who entered the palace that day that I saw the princess talking with my son alone on the day my son fell into the water. Did the princess ever see how my son fell into the water?"

On that day, people outside queen Yan Ru saw Du zapeng pestering her! Xu Mingzhu instantly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart, and then her face shook her head slightly ugly.

Seeing her pale face, the old imperial concubine thought it was fear, and her voice was slightly unhappy. She hugged Xu Mingzhu in her arms: "Madam Shangshu, don't listen to the rumor! My Mingzhu has always followed the rules. How can she talk to your son alone? Isn't that bad for Mingzhu's reputation?"

An abandoned baby was picked up. It was only you, an old woman, who took her as a baby. Mrs. Shangshu despised it in her heart, but showed a sad color on her face. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and choked her voice: "I'm really sad... My son is very good at water. How can I fall into the water and drown? I'm really confused about this. I just want to ask the princess to tell me the truth. If there's anything abrupt, please forgive me."

The old princess was also a woman. Seeing that Mrs. Shangshu's eyes were red and wiped tears frequently, she couldn't help feeling pity. She stroked Xu Mingzhu's hair and asked, "Pearl, if you know anything, tell Mrs. Shangshu."

Xu Mingzhu was stunned. The old imperial concubine still looked at her kindly. She bowed her head slightly and tried to calm her tone: "madam, I did meet young master Ling when I was walking in the imperial garden that day, but we went our own way after a few greetings. As for why young master Ling fell into the water... I really don't know."

Mrs. Shangshu was obviously not satisfied with her answer, but due to the old lady sitting above, Mrs. Shangshu had to thank her bitterly and left the Regent's house personally.

Xu Mingzhu was the only one left in the reception hall. She leaned back on the chair like a collapse, and her hands under her sleeves trembled slightly. The jade porcelain vase in her arms was cold on her chest, reminding her of what had happened that day.

If she doesn't do it again, Queen yanru will surely push Du zapeng's death on her head. Maybe someone saw her pick up a stone and smash Du zapeng. No one will believe that queen yanru killed Du zapeng herself. She could not argue on this point.

In the past, even if she really killed Du zapeng, my father would protect her, but now my father hates himself because of Shen Qingru... If she is convicted of killing Du zapeng, my father will drive her out of the house, regardless of her life or death. Although the old lady loves her, she can't give her any help in this matter.

Xu Mingzhu bit her lower lip. Empress Yan Ru's words sounded in her ears that day. What she said was good.

Power is the best thing in the world.

The wife of Zhongcheng in Dali Temple married her daughter-in-law and posted posts to the old princess and other women in the Regent's house. In addition to the old princess and Xu Mingzhu, Shen Qingru's name also appeared on the post.

The old imperial concubine was a little embarrassed. She had known the wife of Zhong Cheng in Dali temple for many years and was regarded as a close friend. She should have taken the younger generation to congratulate Xi, but gning repeatedly told her not to let Shen Qingru go out alone. The old imperial concubine was very hesitant.

If you take her, don't you disobey gning. If you don't take her, it's not good to leave your granddaughter alone in the house. The old princess thought about it. Since her granddaughter came back, she had never shown her face in public. The Turkic aristocratic women had not known the newly recovered daughter of the Regent's house. Now take this opportunity to let Shen Qingru go out to meet the women's dependents.

"Pearl, do you think..." the old lady hesitated and turned to ask Xu Mingzhu's opinion.

Xu Mingzhu was pale and reluctantly smiled, "grandma decided to do it by herself. If you ask me for my opinion, grandma will take me to the banquet and leave Qingru sister alone in the house. Besides..."

Xu Mingzhu didn't say anything. The old princess naturally knew it. She was also afraid of Shen Qingru's thoughtfulness. She thought she only loved Xu Mingzhu and didn't even take her out to socialize.

"Go and tell me to let the servant girls wait on the young lady and dress up. Let's go out and meet our friends together. "The old princess made up her mind. Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and flashed a violent color at the bottom of her eyes.

Because of Shen Qingru, everything about her is gone. Even if you really kill her, it's a matter of course.

Because she married the youngest daughter-in-law, the wife of Zhongcheng in Dali temple did not shy away from it. She followed her husband directly to meet the guests at the door. Seeing the magnificent carriage in the Regent's palace from a distance, the wife of Zhongcheng's face had become a big chrysanthemum.

It was the old princess of the Regent's palace who was helped down by the servant girl first. Mrs. Zhong Cheng warmly welcomed her and held her hand and said, "I want to die, old sister."

The old princess also looked at her with a smile and chatted with her intimately.

After the exchange of greetings, Mrs. Zhong Cheng turned her eyes to the two girls behind the old princess. One of them was tall and beautiful. She was wearing a wine red and gold long saddle. Under it was a royal blue four seasons peace horse face skirt. The head of a set of colorful gemstones was particularly swaggering. It was the princess of Pearl she had seen before.

The other, although not as gorgeous as the Pearl Princess, also had beautiful eyebrows and noble manners. He was wearing a silver white cloak with a green calyx plum embroidered on one corner. Under the cloak, a small pink jacket with a white fox edge rolled on it.

There are two girls, one is gorgeous and rich, the other is pure and refined, the other is beautiful and rich peony, and the other is elegant and delicate white plum blossom. Each has its own beauty. Mrs. Cheng has guessed the identity of the girl. Without the introduction of the old princess, she came forward to hold Shen Qingru's hand and praised her from head to foot.

Of course, the prime minister's wife did not forget to praise Xu Mingzhu. She was very happy to hear that her two granddaughters were depicted as something in the sky and nothing in the earth among the prime minister's population. Although she knew that the other party was flattering, the old lady was very happy.

Mrs. Zhong Cheng personally sent the old lady and others to the reception hall. She apologized repeatedly and had to meet the guests. She couldn't accompany them. The old lady said she was polite. Mrs. Zhong Cheng came out of the reception hall and asked the housekeeper, "have you arrived?"

The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead, bowed his head and said respectfully, "yes, I'm waiting at the door. Madam, look at this..."

Mrs. Zhong Cheng sighed. According to Li, she also posted a post to Princess Xindu, but she never expected that Princess Xindu, who had never attended these affairs, would come for the first time. This made Mrs. Zhong Cheng very embarrassed. She also heard about the marriage between Princess Xindu and the Regent's house. Now the two sides happened to meet... Didn't it make her embarrassed?

"Tell me to go down and let the slaves have snacks. Don't let them meet together." Mrs. Zhong Cheng gave me a firm order.
