The next day.
Gong Shilin was escorted from the prison to the execution ground.
It was snowing heavily in the winter, but it couldn't stop the crowd from moving around the market.
He was wearing a prisoner's uniform and kneeling on the platform. His hands were tied behind his back.
Firmly!
He was powerless to struggle!
The executioner stood next to him with a large knife, waiting for the executioner sitting nearby to give the order.
Na Tuo, the executioner, was sitting there with his hands on his knees.
He was sitting upright!
His face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes stared at Gong Shilin through the falling snow.
At the thought of his best friend betraying him, the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger.
But —
He still didn't pick up the arrow in front of him and give the order.
He couldn't bear to do it!
At this moment, almost everyone was waiting for him.
Including Na Yan, who was sitting in the carriage not far away.
Na Yan looked over, his eyes narrowed.
The guard next to him said, "I didn't expect that the Third Prince would personally ask the executioner to execute Gong Shilin for the sake of the throne. He's really decisive."
Na Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at Na Tuo. "For the sake of the throne, what's friendship?"
It's all bullsh * t!
The guard asked again, "It's been so long, why hasn't the Third Prince given the order? It's already past the hour. "
It was urgent!
Na Yan's face darkened at the question.
"At this point, we have to kill him even if we don't want to. Na Tuo can't change his mind!"
The guard didn't say anything else.
He paid attention to the situation over there.
The people saw that the Third Prince didn't give the order, so they started to talk.
"Why hasn't he given the order?"
"Is he going to betray us?"
"It's hard to say. The one on the platform is the Prime Minister's son. How can he die so easily?"
"But this time, the Third Prince personally asked for the order. Even the King agreed."
"Let's wait a little longer."
…
The guard next to Na Tuo saw that it was getting late, and the people were starting to get restless. He leaned over and reminded him, "Your Highness, it's time."
He seemed to come back to his senses. He suddenly got up and walked into the snow.
"Your Highness …" the guard called him.
Na Tuo didn't listen and walked towards Gong Shilin.
Everyone's gaze followed him closely.
They were all confused.
What was the prince trying to do?
Gong Shilin knelt there, watching Tuo walk towards him step by step.
Until he stood in front of her.
Tuo squatted down expressionlessly, raised his hand, and brushed away the snowflakes that had fallen on his head and shoulders.
Then, she grabbed his shoulder.
Their eyes met.
Na Tuo asked him, "Do you hate me?"
He was personally asking for permission!
Logically speaking, Gong Shilin should hate him.
But —
Gong Shilin said, "What you did was not wrong!"
Hehe!
Na Tuo sneered, "With these words of yours, I can rest assured. But don't worry, I will take good care of the Princess for you."
As he spoke, he patted Gong Shilin's shoulder twice.
Hearing this, Gong Shilin's eyes widened.
Suddenly, he understood something.
Disbelief.
Tuo said with a sinister expression, "Didn't you say that even if you died, you would wear that jade on your body? But now … I'm afraid you'll have regrets. "
"… Ugh!"
"Do you know how much she cared? She knelt in front of me, begging me to return the jade to her. I have never heard her beg before. That was the first time, the first time she begged someone, it was for that jade! But … I still broke that jade pendant in front of her. "
"Tuo …" Gong Shilin was anxious, looking at him with bloodshot eyes.
He threw himself forward.
But his shoulder was firmly held by Tuo. Tuo continued, "Before yesterday, I was still thinking, even if I have to give up the throne, I must save you, but … Why did you betray me? Shilin, Shilin, are you confused? Even if I hate that woman, she is still my Princess, the dignified Third Princess! Anyone but her!
No! "
He tried to restrain his voice.
Gong Shilin's eyes were filled with tears, begging him, "Let her go, Tuo, I beg you."
"Really funny!"
"I beg you."
Tuo sneered, stood up, and turned to leave.
Gong Shilin shouted at his back, "Ah Tuo."
Tuo stopped in his tracks. After a long time, he turned to look at the man who knelt on the ground with eyes full of pleading.
He opened his mouth.
He said the word "Good"!
His voice was very soft, but Gong Shilin could still see his mouth shape through the dense snowflakes.
He finally felt at ease.
Because he knew that Tuo would not go back on his promise.
Tuo returned to his original position and took out the token arrow in the bamboo tube.
He threw it in front of him.
"Kill!"
The executioner received the order, picked up the wine beside him, poured it into his mouth, and then sprayed it on the sharp knife.
Then he raised the knife …
Gong Shilin looked at the heavy snow in front of him, as if he had returned to a year ago.
Outside the Third Prince's Mansion, the gongs and drums were loud!
The Huyi wedding procession had already arrived.
He stood there, watching a big red sedan chair carried to the door.
The matron of honor helped the bride out of the sedan chair all the way into the mansion.
When they passed in front of him, a strong wind blew the red veil off the bride's head.
At that moment, Gong Shilin clearly saw the bride's face.
The bride didn't have time to catch the wedding handkerchief, and saw a patch of red fall to the ground.
Because of this, the two of them exchanged glances.
Gong Shilin looked at the woman in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"My name is Gong Shilin."
The woman blushed and smiled at him, "Jing Xuan, my name is Jing Xuan."
…
After that, the heavy snow stopped!
The people at the entrance of the market also gradually dispersed.
At the same time, the news came from the Drunken Moon Pavilion.
Du Xing 'er was dead!
She committed suicide by poison!
It was said that she was dressed very beautifully, with elegant and simple makeup, lying quietly on the bed, with a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth.
And in her hand, she was holding the book that Gong Shilin gave her back then.
All these things happened because of cause and effect!
It was also on the same day. Li Wenshu sat silently in the room and then ordered a maid to bring a pair of scissors.
The maid didn't understand, "Miss, what do you want the scissors for?"
"Just get it."
"Oh." The maid followed her instructions and ran to give her the scissors.
Unexpectedly, Li Wenshu took off the red hairpins on her head one by one.
Her black hair scattered on her shoulders!
She raised the scissors.
She cut it.
The maid was so scared that her face turned pale, and she immediately fell to the ground.
"Miss … Why did you do this?"
Li Wenshu shaved her hair!
When Marquis Pingyang heard about it, he was so angry that his face turned blue. He immediately smashed a glass bottle beside him.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree with Li Wenshu and let her return to the forest.
