Chapter 84 Close your dog eyes

After the new prince took over the East Palace, the first order he made was to kill Xu Jingzhong.

The King of Chu was responsible for the entire process.

On the night of October 29th, it was a day cell on death row.

A masked man in black appeared like a ghost, knocked down the jailer in twos and twos, sneaked into Xu Jingzhong's cell silently, and blocked his mouth and nose.

"If you want to live, don't say anything."

The man in black's voice was hoarse, like rolling sand.

Xu Jingzhong was so horrified that his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He didn't dare to say anything and stared straight at Yi Jie's arm on his chin.

"Close your dog eyes"

With a blow of the stick, Xu Jingzhong was knocked unconscious, rolled his eyes and put into a sack.

The man in black fastened his buttons and threw them aside, then turned over and carried another prisoner in.

The man was about the same height as Xu Jingzhong, with messy hair, scarred limbs, and blood-stained clothes. Even the facial features were similar upon closer inspection.

After doing this, the man in black turned over and left, carrying the bag.

The night fell into dead silence again, as if nothing had happened.

The jailer was on shift at Chenshi, and the jailer who was knocked down opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the cell as usual, and then handed over with peace of mind.

The new jailer patrolled once and was a little confused as to why this tough guy was lying on the ground motionless.

"Hey, I'm going to be beheaded at noon. Just give up. I see a lot of people like this."

"That's it, just accept your fate knowing that no one will come to save him."

"If you dare to slander the Crown Prince in the Jinluan Palace, he won't be waiting for today."

"Okay, okay, let's get him some dishes for his decapitation meal later. After eating, he can go on his way. We don't want that bad luck."

…

At three quarters of the day on October 30, Xu Jingzhong was beheaded.

Xie Chenyu personally supervised the execution.

He personally picked up the bloody head, holding it with one finger and laughing with his other hand on his hip.

"This is the consequences of inciting discord and slandering the Crown Prince. We have all seen it. Such people only deserve to go to hell when they die."

The people around him were so scared that they covered their eyes. Occasionally, a few or two would whisper to each other, and they would unconsciously move back.

Xie Chenyu was extremely satisfied.

"Guard Lu, take this head to the East Palace and show it to my second brother. After reading it, hang it on the city gate for fifteen days to serve as a warning to others."

"yes!"

Guard Lu clasped his fists, turned his head and got on his horse.

The blood on the head was a straight line at first, then dripping, and then dried up, leaving only a black patch.

Xie Chenke was busy summoning the ministers who were coming to celebrate. After hearing Baoying's announcement, he couldn't laugh or cry, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Let him handle it by himself. Don't make trouble. I'm busy here."

Baoying smiled bitterly.

Guard Lu dragged his head outside the tower, tied it tightly with hemp rope himself, and hung it three feet high outside the tower.

A case, no matter what, finally settled.

——

The second day of November.

Late at night, Xu Jingzhong woke up in an inconspicuous wooden house on the outskirts of Beijing.

Sitting up suddenly, he touched his neck, his head was still there, and saw the man in black standing in front of him.

He was tall and tall, standing with his hands behind his back and his back facing him. His broad back and straight body made people feel inexplicably at ease.

"This strong man, may I ask who you are..."

"Now that you're awake, leave quickly. This is not the place you should stay."

He threw over a package, which was as heavy as silver ingots.

"Here are 200 taels of cash, 10,000 taels of silver notes, and a few merchants' clothes. Take it and run away as far away as possible. You can stay anonymous and do whatever you want. It will be enough for you to live for a lifetime."

Xu Jingzhong still wanted to know the other party's name.

The man in black's voice was a little deeper.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just leave if I tell you to"

Xu Jingzhong looked at his arm, and there was indeed an obscure scar on his right hand.

Shocked and stunned, he remained silent for a long time.

Until the man in black turned to look at him, Xu Jingzhong stood up and knelt down to salute.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. It's a pity that I don't know the hero's name. I'm really sorry."

The man in black sneered.

"If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you."

The cold sword was placed on his neck in an instant, but Xu Jingzhong was not afraid and stood up and raised his hand.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving now"

He picked up his bag and went out, simply identified the direction, and walked towards the south path. When he was almost out of sight, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed six times.

The man in black seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, and quickly disappeared.

——

In the winter months, the old emperor fell seriously ill.

Taiyuan Hospital is busy taking pulses, asking questions, and researching prescriptions every day.

Everyone in the harem, headed by the queen, was prepared to prepare.

There is no one on the first-grade imperial concubine seat.

The second-grade concubine is Concubine Meng.

The third rank of concubines is headed by Qing Concubine, the biological mother of the tenth prince, followed by Zhao Concubine, the biological mother of the fifth prince, and Li Concubine, the biological mother of the eighth prince.

The fourth-rank Jieyu is the biological mother of the Ninth Prince, a foreigner from a foreign country, Hu Jieyu. There are also a dozen or so who have no children and have fallen out of favor long ago.

There are even more people in the fifth grade, the oldest is forty years old, and the younger ones are seventeen or eighteen years old.

Those below the fifth rank are not even qualified to serve the sick.

If they were included, the entire Qianqing Palace might not have enough space to stand.

There is no need to talk about the princes and princesses.

When the father is seriously ill, he must come to show his filial piety, including the prince's family members, the principal concubines of various mansions, and good people.

Early that morning, the queen came to Qianqing Palace with her army of Wuyangyang servants.

"You are all waiting in the outer hall. I and the prince will go in first."

"yes"

Yingying and Yanyan stood in a room full of beautiful beauties, huddled together and the smell of powder stung their noses.

Lin Xi dreamed of sneezing but didn't dare. She held her head and shrank back like a little chicken.

Xie Chenyu saw it and simply wrapped her head with his wide sleeves, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Fight"

"A sneeze"

The sound was instantly buried in the jingling of hairpin rings, making it really inconspicuous.

Lin Ximeng felt completely refreshed, and she raised her smiling face to thank her silently.

Xie Chenyu threw a handkerchief to her, which seemed to show disdain, but was actually close to her.

Zhao Liangdi became jealous, snorted and turned away.

Song Liangdi gritted her teeth secretly, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

Everyone in the outer hall listened anxiously to what was going on inside, but no one paid attention here.

Lin Ximeng wiped her hands and face, put up her sleeves and stood respectfully.

——

This is the inner hall.
