In the throne room, hundreds of officials lined up. His Majesty sat solemnly on the dragon throne, coldly staring at the girl who was kneeling on the golden bricks like an ant. The deputy envoy of Southern Yan stood on the side, glaring like a tiger watching its prey. He was quietly waiting for someone to die to extinguish the anger of Southern Yan.
Tan Siwei's hands were tied and he was forced to kneel on the other side of the throne room. He desperately shook his head and begged Xue Qiongwei, "Qiongwei, don't admit it! Second brother is begging you, don't admit it … Second brother is begging you! "His eyes were red.
Listening to the voice that had protected her since she was a child, it was as if he had returned to when she was a child and cried for no reason. He helplessly coaxed her, "Little Qiongwei, don't cry. Second brother is begging you, don't cry anymore. Otherwise, if your eyes are swollen, you won't be able to get married when you grow up. Ah! Don't hit me. Second brother is talking nonsense and apologizing to you. Our Qiongwei is so beautiful and cute. When you grow up, there will definitely be a line of young masters in the capital waiting to marry you. Okay, okay, wipe your tears. Second brother will buy you the best sugar-coated haws. "
He really wanted to go back to when he was a child. At that time, it was really good.
Xue Qiongwei smiled slightly and didn't look at him. She raised her head and looked calmly at the Emperor above the ninth step. She said each word seriously and firmly. It was as if her mother had turned and walked into Hundred Flowers Tower more than 20 years ago when she was surrounded by tigers and wolves.
"On the night of the twelfth of the fifth month, the envoy of Southern Yan died at Xunfang Platform. I imitated my late mother's revenge. It has nothing to do with other people. My daughter, Xue Qiongwei, pleads guilty!"
When she finished speaking, all the civil and military officials secretly sighed, but no one dared to make a sound. The whole room was silent.
Hearing the word Xue, the Emperor's eyes flashed with a myriad of emotions. A moment later, he lifted the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Xue family's daughter, Xue Qiongwei, is extremely daring. She murdered the envoy of Southern Yan and almost caused a rift between the two countries. This is an unforgivable crime! Tomorrow at noon, she will be beheaded in public at the Shenwu Gate. "
Prime Minister Tan's forehead hit the ground, and hot blood flowed down half of his face. With tears in his eyes, he pleaded, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to spare my daughter's life, considering that I have been cautious and conscientious for the past twenty years, and I have never dared to slack off! Your Majesty! "
"I don't need you to plead for me!" Xue Qiongwei screamed. Hearing about the death penalty, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she revealed a satisfied expression. "Before Bella died, I was able to kill such a person for my ancestors, for my mother, and for myself. This trip to the human world was not in vain. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
Prime Minister Tan's entire body began to tremble. He walked to Xue Qiongwei on his knees and reached out his trembling hand to Xue Qiongwei. Tears streamed down his face as he said, "Qiongwei, father has let you down … I have also let your mother down … But you have just turned 15, you cannot die! I can't watch you die … "
Xue Qiongwei showed an extremely disgusted expression and avoided his hand. "You're not my father, so don't mention that word in front of me! I am the daughter of the living dead. My mother died in the Chaobai River twenty-three years ago. My birth was the result of hatred. No one is my father! I don't need a father! "
Prime Minister Tan seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant. His lips didn't have a trace of blood as he said numbly, "Do you … hate me? You've been hating me for so many years, right …"
Xue Qiongwei's eyes also turned red. "If you hadn't forcefully taken me away from my mother back then, my mother might not have been so depressed and left this world in her thirties! If I had always been by her side, perhaps I wouldn't have so many regrets and hatred. My life wouldn't have turned into a pile of stinky cotton wool! You took away a woman's body, heart, and everything she had, but you watched as she was bullied and humiliated. You were powerless to protect her, and in the end, you even married the daughter of the family that had persecuted her! In the end, you even forced her into a dead end with your own hands … You are such a weak and useless man, why can't I hate you! Tan Shiyuan, even if the world thinks highly of you, even if the people admire you, I will never think highly of you in this life! "
"Back then, I had no choice but to take you away from Hong Yi. Back then, when she jumped into the river to commit suicide, she was already determined to die. It was I who forcefully pulled her back from the gates of hell. She knew that what happened back then was the Huang family's scheme. She hated Siwan to the bone, and hated me even more. Under such a strong hatred, she lost her mind and thought of ways to hurt herself every day. In those six years, I tried everything to stop her, to protect her, to love her … Gradually, I saw that she was getting better. I thought that this hurdle had finally passed, and we could return to the harmonious and harmonious life of immortals. Then, you came. At that time, I was very happy. Everyone thought that my career would be smooth and that I would be able to rise to the top. But only I knew that my life was as full of holes as your mother's. It was sad and pitiful. Your arrival was like a beam of light that illuminated our struggling life. For this, I was willing to shorten my life by ten years, or even twenty years! But what I didn't expect was that your arrival was like a key that opened up the darkness hidden in Hong Yi's heart. She relapsed, and this time, it was even more terrifying than before. As long as she saw something sharp, she could pick it up at any time and stab it into her own flesh, my heart, or even you, who had just been born! I really had no other choice … Qiong Wei, I really … "
The high and mighty Prime Minister of a country was now crying like a wretched child. "You were Hong Yi's and my most precious treasure. I couldn't watch as such a small and soft person like you died in Hong Yi's and my hands. I could only send you to Dingzhou …"
