Chapter 82 Beheading Several People
The next day, when Lan Ling opened his eyes, the emperor was gone.
At noon, Lan Ling heard rustling voices outside.
"Who's outside?" Lan Ling asked.
"Niangniang, it's a little noble child." The voice of the little eunuch.
"Why are you sneaking around? Talking in such a low voice?" Lan Ling asked.
"Niangniang, outside, outside..."
Little Takako's voice panicked.
"What's wrong?" Lan Ling struggled to stand up.
"The emperor ordered that except for the Changxin Palace, everyone else should go to the criminal room to observe the sentence..." Xiao Guizi hesitated.
"Who will be punished?" Lan Ling asked.
"Many, all over the yard, not punishment, but all killed." Xiao Guizi's voice was terrified.
Dan Fengxuan outside the criminal room was densely packed with people.
In Xiaoxuan, the emperor stood coldly alone, dressed in black clothes, and his eyes were like frost. Although it was summer, everyone felt as cold as winter when his eyes swept over.
Bai Shaoting was in charge, Tian Ming, and Gu Fan stood beside him. Huo Jingyun stood on the emperor's side with his hands behind his back.
The noon sun swayed, the wind blew the leaves and shattered the shadows.
There was blood on the ground. There are corpses everywhere, palace maids, eunuchs...
The smell of blood filled the sky, and there was cries all around.
She saw the queen, supported by the chamberlain beside her, her face pale.
And Wen Heng, who frowned and bit his lower lip. Concubine Hui Gui behind, Concubine Jing......
Except for herself, the emperor's concubines are all there.
Dozens of maids were waiting for the execution, some of whom had fainted and were picked up by the execution guards and chopped off their heads.
Here, Lan Ling saw the Taoist Master Wu, the queen mother's maids Mei Hong and Qiu Gui, the queen mother's great eunuch Lin Gonggong, the queen's maids Xiaojin, Xiaoyin, the eunuch's small house, Zhang Jiang, and several eunuchs and maids, too. In the Queen's Palace....
Lan Ling glanced through the crowd and saw the Emperor Ling Chen standing there.
He was dressed in dark clothes and had no expression on his face. He looked at the corpses on the ground without frowning. Like looking at ants.
This is the one she loves. She suddenly remembered how she first knew him, with a smirk and smirk, but now, she can't see the smile on his face for a long time.
Thinking about it, she didn't know him for a long time, but she was like a past life.
Lan Ling trembled slightly.
The Queen and Wen Heng stood behind him.
The people who were killed were all slaves. The real murderer was still standing there, Lan Ling looked at the queen.
"Niangniang, let's go back." Qiaochun supported Lan Ling, feeling her trembling.
Wen Heng saw Lan Ling, and with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she probed and said something to the emperor.
Lan Ling saw the emperor's gaze turned to her.
He walked down from Xiaoxuan's steps and walked quickly to her side, "Didn't you say that people from Changxin Palace don't have to come? What are you doing here, your legs can move?" His eyes were cold and warm.
"Why do you want to kill so many people?" Lan Ling asked him looking up.
"These people are all involved, and the Department of Punishment and Bai Shangshu have already investigated. Master Wu was actually found by the Queen Mother, a liar who is trying to make a mystery and point the finger at you, and the maids in the Queen's Palace deliberately People put people in your palace to frame you. I will never allow such vicious things in the harem, and must be severely punished!"
The emperor looked at her, his eyes indifferent. "Have you forgotten what I said to you before? You must not be soft on those who harm you!"
"Then, where's the queen mother?" Lan Ling didn't see the queen mother.
"The queen mother knew that she was deceived and regretted it very much. She moved to the Taimiao this morning."
He reached out and pinned her hair behind his ear, "Everyone here is involved, so they must die. Go back."
Lan Ling was still looking around, he turned her face and whispered in her ear: "I don't want you to see this, I have done all this killing for you. My hands are already stained with blood, and I don't care. There are a few more people. However, I want you to be clean. So, don't change anything deliberately, okay?"
Lan Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and tears finally flowed out. She reached out and touched Ling Chen's face and said, "Okay. But you are so cruel!"
His body froze for a moment, and he threw off her hand, his eyes hurt suddenly, as if injured and angry. He put his hand on her waist, regardless of her unbearable pain, he held her in his arms, with a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time, "You know, I like watching these!"
Her heart twitched, and he was annoyed at her. He had done so much for her, and she even said that.
He abandoned her, turned around and walked forward, she chased after her, "Ling Chen!"
He didn't seem to hear.
She grabbed his clothes, she didn't want to go any further, the thick blood on the ground, the heads, the corpses, the crying, and the blood suffocated her.
He tugged at his clothes, she staggered, but did not let go, he finally stopped and turned around.
She hurriedly approached him and hugged him, "Don't leave me, I know you hurt, I know you hate this even more."
He shook her hand hard and whispered, "Go back."
Ling Chen stood there, staring at Lan Ling's distance, then he withdrew his gaze and re-examined everything in front of him.
He has been on the throne for half a year, and he has endured everything, and has never punished anyone so severely.
He passed an oral edict to King Rui and asked King Rui to govern on his behalf, but his oral edict, the Queen Mother and the Queen actually ignored him!
He wanted to see how he severely punished them, how Liu Shangshu and the Northwest Marquis reacted, and how the ministers in the DPRK reacted.
Of course, he would never allow framing to appear in his harem. Besides, the person who was framed was Lan Ling.
Wen Heng squinted at Ling Chen, the empress had already lost power, as long as the emperor got rid of the control of the Northwest Marquis, the empress' seat would also be gone.
But Lan Ling, she remembered what Ling Chen had said to her, he asked her to accept her, not the kind of acceptance that a concubine would have, so how could he accept Lan Ling?
Accept that he loves her? No, not possible. But he killed so many people today for her! After today, who would dare to be slow to Lan Ling? How can you move her?
She remembered what Fan Xing had told her, Lan Ling was the one Ling Chen was looking for, how was this possible?
She also knew that Yuan Lie, Qing Yun, and Rui Yu had always accompanied Ling Chen's dream. Ling Chen had told her.
By the stream in Qingyun Mountain, she actually met an acquaintance, Fan Xing. Fan Xing told her that she was Ruiyu in Lingchen's dream. And Ling Chen was Yuan Lie.
What made her crazy was that he actually told her that Lan Ling was Qing Yun.
He also told her that the Qiu Shui Sword was the evidence that Qing Yun and Yuan Li recognized each other.
She didn't believe all Fan Xing's words, Fan Xing didn't tell her where she got these words. Fan Xing loves her, she knows, but she doesn't love Fan Xing.
Although Fan Xing was not completely loyal to King Ning, his words were never credible.
But she still changed Lan Ling's Qiushui sword, no matter whether it was true or not, as long as Lan Ling died, the only person Ling Chen loved could be her, her Wen Heng.
Lan Ling returned to Changxin Palace.
He has done so much for her, shouldn't he be happy?
But her heart was full of grass.
She knew he wasn't happy.
This world has its own rules of survival, but on this land, it is the emperor's world. Life or death is in this person's hands.
The deaths of these people will be attributed to her, and they will die because of her. Then he will be rumored to have killed so many people for her, and even be infamed. Did he really kill so many people just for her? She never dared to think about it.
Even if he uses her to warn some people, strike some people, and declare some sovereignty, so what?
She loves this person, her love is hopeless, her love is deadly.
What about the queen, what will he do with the queen? Do you still let her go like before? Does he let her go every time, just because of the Northwest Hou?
He said that the queen's maid was bewitched by others and did such a rebellious thing. He didn't want to touch the queen, so he killed so many maids. This is his usual practice.
Lan Ling felt that the enmity between him and the queen was getting deeper and deeper, and it seemed that there was no solution.
