The First Empress - Chapter 297
Chapter 297 Execution Of Han Xiuyi
On the second day, they would arrive in Yunluan Palace and instruct Linglong to kill Han Xiuyi. Linglong looked at Huiqi with bright eyes and smiled, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your Majesty, I will not be ignorant about this matter. Just leave it to me.” Huiqi nodded.
The prison of the Ministry of Justice was pitch-black. All of the prisoners here were dead prisoners, and they were heavily guarded.
It ‘s hard to escape, No matter how high-ranking and powerful they used to be, they were still the same here, Linglong had received Huiqi’s order and was already in the prison. The more she walked into the prison, the more damp and dirty it was. There was a near-death aura slowly pressing towards her. When Linglong walked in, she happened to catch someone dragging the corpse out. Qin’er couldn’t help but spit when she saw the dirty corpse. “Didn’t you see the Empress come in?” ‘”Linglong doesn’t think so. She has seen many dead people. No matter what kind of evil dead people they are, they are already dead. Therefore, she behaves much lighter than she imagined. The thousand styles around her eyebrows almost make people think that Linglong is enjoying flowers in the Upper Forest Garden at leisure.
“It’s fine. The guards will do their respective duties. This palace is here to take a look.” After Linglong walked into the darkness, everyone knelt on the ground. Linglong smiled and walked in. Qin’er put the heavy fur on Linglong’s shoulder. Her luxurious clothes were much less elegant and luxurious in the darkness. She looked like a dense sword halberd that stood upright one by one.
Qin’er held a jade bowl in her hand. Inside the bowl was japonica rice porridge. This bowl of japonica rice porridge was slowly stewed by a gentle fire, nourishing and nourishing her face. However, it would be good if there was no diamond powder in the porridge.
“Qin’er, do you think this palace is ruthless?” Linglong turned around a corridor, and the candlelight in the corridor illuminated her, her jade face filled with spring. Qin’er held the bowl of porridge and said indifferently, “If Your Highness is ruthless, there will be no room for manners. Your Highness is already kind. However, everyone in the harem is their own camp and is greedy. If Your Highness does not become strong, she will be devoured. This is the only way.” After Qin’er finished speaking, she looked at Linglong and said, “Your Highness, don’t think nonsense. In Qin’er’s eyes, Your Highness is a rare woman who is not easy to deal with.”
Linglong reached out and stroked her temples behind her ears. Her hair was drenched in lacquer, and her hair was like a waterfall. The golden phoenix above her head had an inexplicable cold glow in the candlelight, and a starlight that was as long as it was short landed on a person in a cell. Linglong looked at the woman in the dungeon. She was once a peerlessly beautiful person. Now that she was tortured by the prison disaster, her entire body was in tatters. Her clothes were messy, and suspicious red spots covered Han Xiuyi’s neck and exposed skin. Linglong had long heard that a female prisoner who entered death row would be ruined by the guards, so she closed her eyes slightly.
Han Xiuyi looked dignified and elegant. Just because of a single thought, she ended up with such a result. Linglong could not figure out why Han Xiuyi would frame her like this. Furthermore, when Linglong was no longer planning to pursue her, Han Xiuyi was still aggressive. Why could she make a person so crazy? And what made Han Xiuyi like this?
Linglong pointed at Ruo Lan and lightly knocked on the thick wood. Han Xiuyi, who was curled up inside, dragged the chains and dodged repeatedly. She shrank into a corner and said, “Don’t come in … please …”
Linglong’s gaze was like water as she looked at Han Xiuyi in front of her. “Lady Maid Han, it’s this palace. This palace has come to feed Lady Maid Han.” After Linglong finished speaking, Han Xiuyi’s expression in the prison became less vigilant. In the evening, Han Xiuyi had already changed into a human being. Her hair was disheveled like a ghost. Once, she was tired of nickname clothes and the Speechless Monastery was no longer standing on the west side of the building. No matter who was here, she would still be torn to pieces. Her grace was more than enough, and everything about her was gone.
Linglong looked at Han Xiuyi with her beautiful eyes, “Does Your Highness regret it?” Linglong did not know why she would use such a gentle voice to talk to a person. After she finished speaking, she could not help but laugh and say, “This palace has no other meaning. I just want to ask the Empress, does she regret it?” After so many years in charge of the Shanggong Bureau in the Imperial Palace, the Empress actually ended up in such a state. “Linglong stretched her hand through the huge wooden pillar and prepared to touch Han Xiuyi. Han Xiuyi slowly stretched out her hand and gently held onto Linglong’s hand.
Two pairs of ice-skinned and jade-like hands clasped together. There was a chilling feeling. She felt that Han Xiuyi’s fingers were a little cold. She removed the heavy fur from her body and sent it to the cell. “This heavy fur was also sent over by the Shanggong Bureau. Imperial concubine, you should wear it.” This palace can’t help you too much, there is something about general Han Qi don’t need to mind, the empress, in short, a sentence you want me to die, I have to die, this palace sorry Han Qi, more sorry you.
Han Xiuyi stared blankly at Linglong. Linglong could not tell the slightest bit of her thoughts from that face. Han Xiuyi picked up the heavy fur and draped it over her body. Only then did she let go of Linglong’s hand. Yanzi actually smiled cunningly. “Actually, I know that I might not be able to get revenge in my life, but when I thought of these things, I wanted to give it a try. I just told myself to give it a try, give it a try …”
Linglong listened to Han Xiuyi with a kind heart and said, “But you forgot one thing. This palace has always been a cautious person. How could I give medicine to the Emperor so easily?”
‘”I am also a person who knows music. When I heard Xi and the Crown Prince say that they wanted the Medicinal Zhenniao Emperor, I naturally took this diamond powder that I had hidden for many years and ate it. Everyone said that I was living a comfortable life, but no one knew how much pressure I was under.” Han Xiuyi looked at the candlelight in front of her and said, “A man’s death is good. Listen to me. If you can leave this place in the future, then leave. There are countless despicable and dirty things in Zihua Palace. Only leaving is the only way to survive.” Han Xiuyi gently pulled up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders and smiled, “Since you’re here to deliver food to me, I can’t wait.”
Qin’er handed the bowl over. Han Xiuyi used a porcelain spoon to gently scoop up the japonica rice porridge and said, “I have never known why diamond powder can kill invisible people. Today, I can give it a try. It can also be considered good fortune. All of this is fate.” After he finished speaking, he began to eat elegantly. Linglong had never seen a single person truly graceful. The dignity emanating from her bones made Linglong feel that Han Xiuyi was not eating poison, but eating some rare wild vegetable. After eating it, she even carefully examined the porcelain bowl. Linglong couldn’t bear to look at Han Xiuyi.
“Actually, this palace has never blamed you. Whether it is the medicine you gave the Empress or what you did afterwards, this palace has never thought of hurting you. This palace has let you down.” As Linglong spoke, her voice trembled. Han Xiuyi ignored Linglong’s sermon and placed the porcelain bowl on the ground. She smiled as if her clear breath contained fragrance. “Is Your Highness finished?”
Linglong didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head. Han Xiuyi quickly replied, “Your Highness cares for me. I know your Highness has good intentions, but victory is victory and defeat. I never thought that I would truly succeed.” At this point, Han Xiuyi suddenly looked at Linglong in embarrassment. “Last time, I really didn’t know that the Empress wanted the medicine to give Princess Yu Lai. The child is innocent. If I knew, I definitely wouldn’t, wouldn’t-” Linglong felt even more pity for Han Xiuyi when she heard this. “This palace knows that you can’t help it, Your Highness. No one in the palace knows when you’ve been stained with blood. However, this palace has already said that this palace will forgive you. This palace-” As she spoke, Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
However, Linglong suddenly remembered something. “This palace has a way. This palace can save you. Just wait.”
“No,” Han Xiuyi pounced over, “The Emperor will not forgive me. Don’t leave, Consort Yan, I want to talk to you.” Linglong was just overjoyed. After thinking for a while, it was also true that the Emperor had already set his heart on killing Han Xiuyi. Even if he saved Han Xiuyi, he would still not be able to survive.
Han Xiuyi pointed to her chest and said, “I have a gift hidden here. At first, I had it, but later on, I knew that I would never need it in my life. In this lifetime … So, I plan to give it to you … I accidentally made a mistake about Princess Yu Lai. Please don’t argue with me.”
Linglong’s eyes were warm. Almost, “Your Highness, Your Majesty will not forgive you, I’ll take good care of you and not let anyone bully you, You have to endure for at least ten days and a half months, “Actually, there is no diamond powder in this bowl of porridge. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I will put enough arsenic-frost into this bowl of porridge for Your Highness on the last day …” After Linglong finished speaking, she didn’t know why she would actually confide in her heart. She couldn’t help but laugh and wipe away the sparkling tears that had already fallen down her cheeks.
Han Xiuyi did not expect Linglong to do such a defiant thing for her. If someone heard that Linglong was still a bully, Han Xiuyi did not think that Linglong not only did not hate her but also acted like this for her own sake. She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, “I’m sorry for you. This thing has been here for a long time, I want to give it to you …”
She trembled and put her hand into her chest. Linglong couldn’t bear to see it, but she still wanted to see what she would give her. She didn’t expect that her hands would tremble for a while before she took out a gold medal from inside-the Life-saving Gold Medal!
Linglong really didn’t expect such an unexpected harvest. She stopped in mid-air and didn’t know if she would receive it properly or not. “If Your Highness uses this life-saving gold medal to save her life, I’m afraid it would be possible.”
“Your Majesty, Liang Bo, do you think anything is possible?” After Han Xiuyi finished speaking, she handed over the gold medal and muttered, “Han Qi gave it to me before she died. She said that she found it in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion of Huiye. She gave it to me just in case I would need it in the future. She didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to use it in the end.” Han Xiuyi smiled faintly and said, “I know that you already have three. Adding this one, there are four. I also know the legend of this gold medal. So, Linglong, you should help me-take revenge for Han Qi!”
