Chapter 1

The Meridian Gate is the only place where Qin Du has been observing the penalty for hundreds of years. All prisoners sentenced to death will eventually be sent to the Meridian Gate for public execution to achieve the effect of shock shooting.

From ancient times to the present, countless prisoners have come to the end of their lives here. Among them, there are all kinds of criminals, from peddlers and servants, from all walks of life, to the rich and powerful gentry, to the powerful officials, and even to the relatives and relatives of the royal family.

Today, however, there is a special prisoner in the Meridian Gate, which makes the whole Qindu a great disturbance.

This is the prince of the dynasty, Nangong Chengye.

Because of poisoning the Empress Dowager Mingde, he was deposed as the crown prince, and the emperor ruled that the Meridian Gate was cracked.

Once the crown prince was publicly sentenced to death, it can be said that for the first time in history, grandson poisoned his grandmother, which was against the ethics and was hard to face. What's more, it was a scandal or a scandal of the Royal Tianda. According to the past experience, we should hide it, even if it was a secret execution.

However, this time, their emperor's majesty chose such a high-profile way to deal with it. Not only did he let the picture of his royal highness being executed by death be watched by thousands of people, but even chose the method of death that made him so disrespectful.

You know, it was the eldest son of the emperor, who was granted the throne as soon as he was born. For more than ten years, his royal highness, who has been favored by the emperor for more than ten years, is going to die in the hands of five animals, not even a whole body.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a group of officials forcibly escorted a man in prison uniform and handcuffs and shackles. No, it should be said that he was a teenager. He was thin and thin, and his young face was as white as paper, full of sorrow and fear. He struggled to escape, but he was held by the official and had no way to escape. He could only shout for help 。

"Father, son minister wronged, son minister wronged, father Emperor..."

"The queen mother, save the child minister, the mother, save the child minister. The child minister doesn't want to die, the child minister really does not want to die..."

"Mother save me..."

He is very afraid, afraid of what will happen, afraid of the whole body is shivering.

The crown prince from the top of the hierarchy was reduced to a prisoner overnight. Such a huge gap tormented him almost crazy.

He didn't understand. He just added a little lacquer tree powder to the cake. How could it become a deadly poison? He couldn't believe that his father, who had always loved him so much, sentenced him to death so easily?

Not even a chance to defend and appeal?

But every word said that he would save his mother, but he didn't appear at the moment. Is it that even the mother can't do anything about it, or has the empress mother chosen to give him up?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Just as he was wondering, the words of a burly Royal Guard pushed him into the abyss completely. The chief bodyguard gave him a cold look and said:

"the imperial edict has been given, and the prime minister personally supervises the execution. Why does your highness waste his energy? Everyone who is on the execution will cry injustice, but who knows who is really wronged? But what can come down from this scaffold with breath is: there is none in ancient times. " So it's better to accept life, even if it's the prince, but after all, it's not the supreme emperor who controls the world's life and death.

"Empress mother --"

Nangong Chengye seems to have been drained of all his strength for a moment. His mind is dazzled and echoes with the words of the guards. Under the scaffold, he can't hear a word of people's noisy discussion. He can only see the faces of hatred, sympathy and even more indifference.

And he, of course, did not see, not far from a tall building, there is a man, a pair of eyes, is burning at him.

What kind of a person is that?

She sat in a very strange position, her head leaning on the back of the chair, her hands and legs, and even the weight of her whole body almost pressed on the chair, and remained motionless for a long time.

It looks like a mollusk without bone support.

Her whole body was wrapped in a large black cloak, so she couldn't see her face and expression, only a wisp of white hair flying at the temples and her dark eyes.

In front of her, opened a steel window, because of the angle, just let her see what happened below, and even clearly see the face full of fear.

Worry, anxiety, indignation, heartache, despair, hatred that destroys heaven and earth Countless complex emotions in the eyes one by one flash, but eventually turned into a stagnant water like calm.

"That's what you want me to see and hear?" The hoarse and coarse voice, like an 80 year old woman, has no waves. Listen carefully, but it has a strange and bloodthirsty.

"Ah..."

In the elegant room, the needle can be heard and fell into a short silence. It is clear that there is no one in the room except her. After a moment, a faint sigh suddenly rings out, which makes people feel a trace of horror.

"I haven't seen it for many years. I didn't expect that my sister's heart is more poisonous and harder than before..."

The wall next to the cabinet automatically separated, revealing a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes, and a soft voice came from inside.It turned out that there was a dark road behind the wall. The owner of the voice came slowly to the cloaked man and pulled off the veil on his face.

It is a very delicate face, less naive in the past, a little more elegant, a few mellow and dignified, everywhere full of mature woman charm.

This face, cloaked person is not unfamiliar, even can be said to have been familiar with the bone, let her die also dare not forget.

"Isn't it painful for my sister?" The woman glanced out of the window and looked at the man in the cloak. As she said this, she reached out and uncovered the black curtain cap on her cloak. When she saw the face covered with scars and rotten, the woman frowned slightly, and her voice could not help but have a slight pause for a moment, and then turned to smile again and again.

"You see, ye'er is so scared. He is crying for help from the queen mother. Sister, do you really have the heart to watch him die like this? You know, he's the child you gave birth to in October

The last four words, bite very heavily, if someone hears her words at this time, will be shocked.

Is Prince ye not the queen of Zhonggong?

If this news spreads out, I'm afraid that the whole Kyoto will set off waves again.
