It was a heavy rain, even heavier than the day the Imperial Mausoleum collapsed. It was so heavy that the entire capital was floating on the surface of the water.
The people who had witnessed the entire show licked their lips as the rain fell. They held their heads in their hands and left in groups, calling out to each other. Liu Laosan and Zhu Huiniang, who thought they were going to die, were stunned for a long time. They hugged each other and cried with joy. They pulled their silly son and ran for their lives. However, they were knocked over by the crowd and their arms were broken. They rolled on the ground and cried like wild dogs. It was like a farce.
When the people dispersed and the song ended, Empress Cao looked at the head soaked in the dirty water. She closed her eyes and said in a low voice.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Now that my only brother is dead, are you satisfied?"
"Shu 'er, go!" Ning Deyuan was anxious and subconsciously pushed Ning Shu out.
"Father!" Ning Shu's heart tightened. She hurriedly signaled Zi Gui and She Yan to escort the children away. However, it was too late.
Empress Cao opened her eyes again. Her eyes were as violent as a devil's. "Come, surround this place. If you want to leave, you must die!"
Six thousand Yongchengwei obeyed the order and sealed the Meridian Gate. They surrounded Ning Shu and the others like dragons and snakes. They pointed their swords at them. Thousands of archers quickly climbed to the top of the gate tower. They drew their bows and aimed at them from all directions. They really couldn't escape even if they had wings.
Hundreds of arrows pierced deep into her eyes. Ning Shu's heart beat like a drum. She raised her arms to protect the trembling Shaoyuan and the others behind her. "Empress, you can't! Today, the reversal of the Meridian Gate case shocked the world. In a few days, it will spread throughout Jiuzhou. If we clear Zhao Daren's name and lose our lives here, you will become a terrible person in the eyes of the world! Then your action of putting righteousness before family will be completely wasted. Empress, please reconsider! "
However, Empress Cao had fallen into extreme anger. She lost all reason. She angrily said, "Who said I can't!"
"Just now, you used the tens of thousands of commoners as your support, used their mouths and eyes to oppose this consort. You forced this consort to personally order the execution of her own brother. Do you know how much pain that was?! Seeing my own blood relative being beheaded and dying in the Yellow Springs, my internal organs are dripping with blood and my flesh is being cut off! Ning Shu, Xiahou Qing! Why did you force me to this point?!
Now that everyone has left, the sky above the Meridian Gate is empty and quiet. We are the only ones left. Bengong will let you all experience what it feels like to see your loved ones die tragically on the spot! Ning Shu, bengong will be the first to start with you! Men, strangle Princess Hexin for this consort! "
Cai Bin, the Empress' trusted maidservant, accepted the order and immediately removed the screen in front of her, revealing the frail and weak figure that had been hanging on the beam long ago in front of Ning Shu. Her eyes were closed, her hands were hanging down, and there was a white silk around her neck. Apart from the slight rise and fall of her chest, there was no other sound. Only her feet were supported by someone. There was no doubt that once the last bit of support disappeared, He Xin would die on the spot.
The moment he saw He Xin, Ning Deyuan's eyes turned red. He pulled out the old sword that hadn't seen blood for more than ten years and crazily rushed into the crowd. "You dare! Let go of my wife, let go of my daughter! This old man will fight you today!!! "
