Ning Ze looked at him sarcastically, then took the handkerchief handed to him by An Rou and gently wiped the blood off the sword.
Ning Mu was so angry when he saw this. He used up his last bit of strength and said, "You? You two adulterers, you shall not die a good death!"
Then, Ning Mu felt his life slipping away, and said to the surrounding soldiers in panic: "Protect the emperor! Hurry up and protect me. If you kill this couple, I will give you beautiful wives and concubines, and give you official titles and noble ranks!"
The soldiers on the side remained silent after hearing this. Except for one group of them who surrounded Ning Yan with swords, the rest all surrounded Ning Mu!
Ning Mu felt a little desperate. He tried to continue struggling and said, "I am the current prince, my mother is the Imperial Concubine, and my grandfather is the current Grand Marshal Liang Tianhu. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
An Rou looked at Ning Mu with pitiful eyes, and then said in her gentle voice: "Revenge? Those people have all been sent to hell by a packet of poison from me. What revenge is there to talk about? Ning Mu, you are so ridiculous!"
Ning Mu spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this, and couldn't believe it and said: "Impossible, impossible, my Liang family has so many talented people! How could it collapse!"
Ning Ze looked down at Ning Mu with contempt as if he was watching a trapped beast fighting. He said, "Brother, you have been able to sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince for so many years because I have been giving you advice behind the scenes. You have enjoyed all that you should have enjoyed, so go and spend some time with your mother!"
Ning Mu fell to the ground like a lost dog, gasping for breath: "Why? Why did you betray me!"
"Because you didn't cherish her! You knew that I loved Rou'er, but you deliberately showed off in front of me. You obviously got Rou'er, but you didn't cherish her and let her suffer all kinds of grievances! You deserve to die if you don't cherish her!" Ning Ze stared at Ning Mu viciously and said sternly.
"Just because of a woman? You are ignoring our years of brotherhood?" Ning Mu was puzzled. He trusted Ning Ze very much.
Ning Ze raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "Brother? Are you sure you can treat me as a brother? You just treat me as a dog of your Liang family! An obedient dog! If I don't work hard for you, will your good grandfather and mother tolerate me? Wake up, Ning Mu, you are so naive and ignorant because you have lived too smoothly!"
Ning Mu closed his eyes and recalled the past. He laughed at himself and said, "Yes, it was because I was too naive that I ended up like this..."
After saying that, Ning Mu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Ning Ze and An Rou with a resentful and complicated look, and cursed: "You two dogs... must... die!"
Before Ning Mu could finish his words, An Rou stabbed him with a sword.
Ning Mu died of suffocation. Before he died, he heard An Rou softly say: "I don't like being stared at like this by Your Highness..."
There was still a faint smile on An Rou's sweet and gentle face, but the coldness in her tone made the soldiers beside her shudder.
But Ning Ze didn't care and went over to hug An Rou's waist, saying gently: "Let me do this kind of thing, Rou'er, don't dirty your hands..."
"Okay." An Rou threw the sword on the ground and snuggled in Ning Ze's arms like a little bird. There were a few drops of blood on her face from killing Ning Mu, and An Rou looked a little weird.
After dealing with Ning Mu's affairs, Ning Ze turned to look at the captured Ning Yan, glanced at Ning Yan casually, and said indifferently: "The prince was killed while besieging the rebel Ning Yan. Now Ning Yan is thrown into the sky prison. After three days, he will be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts!"
Because the strength gap between the enemy and us was too great, An Xin was also arrested and imprisoned in the Sky Prison with Ning Yan.
This is the second day that Ning Yan and An Xin have been imprisoned. The jailer says that today is the day that Ning Ze ascends the throne and An Rou is crowned queen.
An Xin heard this and asked in confusion: "Why is Ning Ze in such a hurry? Normally, the coronation ceremony would take at least half a month to prepare."
"After all, she was born to a maid who climbed into the master's bed. How can she be so courageous? But on the other hand, it should be to prevent any trouble. After all, the longer the delay, the greater the risk. The generals on this frontier are not vegetarians. Besides, according to the temperament of the father... emperor, he should not have passed the throne to Ning Ze yet." Ning Yan said with some sarcasm, and hesitated when he said the word father.
An Xin walked back and forth in the cell, her brows furrowed. Then, looking at Ning Yanru strolling leisurely, she asked, "Your Highness, why are you so calm? This is a matter of life and death. We will both be executed tomorrow!"
Ning Yan corrected her and said, "From now on, you must call me husband..."
Seeing Ning Yan's indifference, An Xin boldly guessed: "Could it be that the prince has some solution?"
"If you call me husband, I will tell you..." Ning Yan kept the secret and said jokingly.
An Xin glared at Ning Yan angrily when she heard this, but at the same time her curiosity was aroused. An Xin looked around and saw that there was no one around. She took a breath and said, "Husband..."
At this time, a gentle female voice came: "Oh, you will die tomorrow, and you two are still so affectionate, you are really capable people."
An Rou
As soon as An Xin heard the first word from the visitor, she knew it was An Rou!
When An Xin saw An Rou walking towards her slowly, she just looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Seeing this, An Rou didn't care, she just smiled more proudly and said: "My sister, I'm here to see you..."
An Rou seemed to want to show off in front of An Xin, so before attending the coronation ceremony, she came to Tianlao to irritate An Xin.
An Xin saw that An Rou had dressed up carefully. She was wearing gorgeous and complicated clothes, a phoenix crown on her head, and had a dignified and elegant makeup on, looking very graceful.
"You and I are not sisters!" An Xin replied coldly.
An Rou chuckled, playing with her fingernails, and said, "But I still miss you as my sister..."
An Rou was very happy to see An Xin become a prisoner. She took a few steps forward and said softly across the cage, "I heard that the punishment of being cut into pieces is that the executioner will use a blade to cut off the flesh of the criminal's body one by one until he dies. I thought that this punishment of being cut into pieces would take three days. Congratulations, sister, you can live two more days!"
An Xin couldn't help but feel the hairs on her body stand up as she listened to An Rou's description.
It’s not that she is cowardly, but the prison is dark and damp, and there is a sinister feeling in An Rou’s words.
However, An Rou is indeed a bit abnormal and obviously has some mental distortion!
Seeing An Xin was silent, An Rou felt that An Xin was frightened, and continued, "Tomorrow, when my sister is being tortured on the execution ground, I will be enjoying delicious food in the Pepper Room. So, what if you are the legitimate daughter? What if you are the most beautiful woman in Ningguo? You still have fallen to this point!"
