The small wound in the palm of the palm cut by the jade pendant was overflowing with blood.
dyed red,
But Jing Xuan couldn't care about the heart-wrenching pain, she just felt that her mind was blank.
Buzzing!
The only thing worth remembering about her is just broken!
And Natuo didn't kill her, and he didn't hurt her again.
instead left...
Jing Xuan lay on the ground with the broken jade pendant in her hands.
At this moment, it was as if someone had killed the last ray of hope in her heart.
What kindness
What kindness
What conscience
All this disappeared completely in her heart.
…
The next day, Natuo put on his court clothes and went to the palace to meet King Huyi in person.
Kneeling on the top of the hall, I asked to personally supervise the execution of Gong Shilin!
In the end, he still acted according to Pingyang Hou's wishes.
Betrayed by his best brother!
Where did the word of kindness come from in his heart
And Natuo's move suddenly exploded the pot in the court.
The second prince's henchmen were also shocked!
They thought that the third prince would do whatever it takes to save Gong Shilin and wait for the big fish to take the bait.
What was even more unexpected was that King Hu Yi also agreed.
And he gave an order in the early morning to behead Shilin one day later!
Now, no one is powerless.
Gong Shilin is sure to die.
Smart people all know that Tuo is abandoning the car to protect the handsome!
For his own good future, he would rather discard this piece.
This kind of resolute heart, not everyone has it.
Minister Gong Zuo, who only woke up after hearing the news, immediately vomited blood!
fainted again.
When the doctor came to see, he said, "Life is hanging by a thread"!
…
The news of ordering the execution of Gong Shilin quickly spread in Gaoding City.
Someone sighed.
Someone regrets.
Some people applauded.
City Department.
Since Gong Shilin was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, Li Chengcheng has not returned home, but has been staying here.
He was so calm when he heard the news!
Calm to the point of being outrageous.
Sitting there motionless!
Staring at the door, distracted, contemplative...
Even now, he still couldn't understand why Gong Shilin would kill
How could such a weak scholar and incompetent person kill people
He thought about many reasons, but they were all rejected by himself.
Gloomy!
Seeing him sitting like this all day, the people in the city department also discussed a few words.
"Everyone in Gaoding City knows that Master Li and Gong Shilin are not on good terms. Why is Gong Shilin going to be executed now, but Master Li looks like this?"
"In the end, they grew up together, and the relationship is still there."
"That's true. But after all, it was the adults who arrested Gong Shilin this time, so he must have a bad feeling in his heart."
"This also shows that our adults are fair! Go straight."
…
Even if Li Cheng heard these words, he ignored them.
At this time-
Someone came in to report: "Sir, there is a woman outside the department who wants to see you."
woman
He frowned. "Who?"
"Said it was from the Drunk Moon Pavilion."
Drunk Moon Pavilion
He was in a low mood, and he didn't have the energy to deal with the Yingyingyanyan he had provoked before.
Then he said, "I just said that this official is busy, so I can't see you."
"Can… "
"how?"
"She said she knew Du Mubai!"
Uh!
Li Cheng stood up suddenly, his face solemn: "Let her come in."
After a while, the woman followed the petty official to the back hall.
Du Xing'er covered her face with a silk scarf, and she could only see her red eyes.
Li Cheng looked up and down this person.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Du Xing'er."
is her
The last time Ji Yunshu went to the Drunk Moon Pavilion to meet was this veiled girl
Li Cheng squinted his eyes: "What do you want to see me for? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Du Xing'er hesitated, and glanced at the people in the hall.
Li Cheng understood what she meant, waved his hand, and signaled others to avoid it.
After the others left, Du Xinger took off the veil from her face.
Showing that terrifying face.
A long scar is clearly visible.
Li Cheng was not frightened, but he was stunned for a moment, and then he was confused: "Why did you come to see me?"
Du Xing'er met his suspicious gaze and asked, "Didn't you always want to know why Gong Shilin killed people?"
"you know?"
"Yes, I know!"
"Why?" Li Cheng asked anxiously.
Du Xing'er was silent for a while, then said, "For me."
It was not difficult to hear a bit of discomfort and choking in her tone.
Li Cheng looked at her without interrupting.
Du Xing'er told him one by one about her defilement by Du Mubai.
This made Li Cheng's eyes widen in shock.
He had already learned about Du Mubai's character, but he didn't expect that he would do such maddening things. Du Xing'er continued, "I have known Shilin for many years, and we are confidants who can talk about everything. Before Du Mubai died, he wrote poems and I played the qin, just like Boya and Ziqi, he also stayed with him. I'm like a sister! I thought this friendship would last forever, but until he met Du Mubai, then
A beast with a beast of a human face! All this has changed. Because of his relationship, Du Mubai often came to me to sing. He got drunk in front of me several times and confided his feelings. He personally admitted that the reason why he approached Gong Shilin was because he wanted to use her to enter the Marquis of Pingyang mansion, and he kept saying that Shilin was a fool, and even he approached Miss Li of Marquis of Pingyang for the sake of a bright future! I told Shilin all this, but he refused
Letter, until... After I was defiled by him, Shilin suddenly came over. During that time, Shilin saw that I was desperate for death, and he didn't want the rumor that I was tainted to be spread. In addition to the many things that Du Mubai had done, he couldn't hold his breath and killed him for me! "
Li Cheng was shocked.
Speechless for a while.
With tears in her eyes, Du Xing'er said excitedly, "Shilin shouldn't be damned! Du Mubai is the one who should be damned."
Li Cheng fell into the chair, he thought there would be a turnaround.
But the facts told him that there was no turning point.
He lowered his eyes and said, "But in the end... he still killed people."
The voices were shaking violently.
Du Xing'er cried, suddenly knelt to the ground, and begged bitterly: "Master Li, I beg you, please save him, he shouldn't die, he shouldn't!"
hoarse.
save
Li Cheng sighed helplessly: "How to save it? I can't save it!"
…
that day,
Li Cheng went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment with a jug of wine.
Christine knew he would come.
So it was no surprise to see him.
Li Cheng ordered the jailer to fetch a small case and put it in front of the two of them. He poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Gong Shilin.
"We have never sat down and had a good glass of wine like this." Gong Shilin smiled, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's rare."
