The sun above their heads was as hot as fire. Whether it was the Emperor, the Empress, Xiao Yunyi, or the other officials, they were all quietly waiting for a certain big fish to take the bait. The people who had suddenly experienced panic realized that it was just a false alarm, so they gradually calmed down. Just now, they were filled with righteous indignation and couldn't wait to take a knife and cut the traitor into a thousand pieces, but now that a large basin of ice water had been poured over them, they began to discuss hesitantly. Whether the traitor was killed or not wasn't that important for now. They had to ensure their own lives first.
"This strange phenomenon is so strange. Could it be some kind of ominous sign? I heard my grandfather say that every time there is snow in June, there will be a great injustice. What's with the thunder and the earthquake? "
"Ha? Injustice? The evidence is already so conclusive. What injustice? I think it's the opposite. It's the demon inside his body that's causing mischief. Even before he dies, he wants to drag us to hell with him! "
"Then this Xiahou Qing is so vicious. Are we still going to kill him? What would happen if it caused another earthquake? Just now, I was almost trampled to death. It really scared me to death. "
"Hey, you say, His Majesty and the Empress are about to give the order to execute him. Suddenly, this earthquake came. Could it be that even the true dragon's aura can't suppress him? Or are we wrong? Is it the heavens that don't want him to … "
"Shh! Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to die! Let's wait and see. Maybe it's just a coincidence! If you dare to say another word, I'll go home and beat you to death. "
It was like waiting for an arrow that could come at any time. Everyone was on edge, afraid that it would come in the next instant and pierce through their heads. However, after waiting for a long time, it still didn't come. They were burning with anxiety.
After waiting for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the Yongchengwei arched their backs and cleaned up all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the chaos, they still hadn't caught the fish they imagined. Seeing the people become restless again, Empress Cao's face darkened and she sneered, "Playing this kind of trick with me is showing off your slight skill in front of an expert! You won't come out, right? Then I'll kill him for you to see. Let's see who has the initiative! "
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time for this farce to end, don't you think?"
Heaven's Choice Emperor coughed a few times. This long wait made him extremely tired. He waved his hand and said, "Zhen is not feeling well. Let the Empress handle it for Zhen."
"Good! The criminal, Xiahou Qing, was a descendant of the Evil God and possessed by the Evil Spirit. After committing such a heinous crime, he actually dared to provoke the abnormal phenomenon of heaven and earth to bring disaster to the human world. Today, fortunately, His Majesty's Golden Dragon was present, and the Emperor's Qi could restrain the evil spirit. If they did not kill him today, Great Yue would perish! Someone come! Put that Xiahou Qing on the fire and burn this evil spirit to ashes, completely exterminating him! "
"Yes!" Yongchengwei obeyed the order and began to set up the fire platform. Bundles of firewood were piled on top of the platform, and in the middle of the platform, a wooden stick about a zhang high was erected. The iron lock was ready, all they had to do was to wait for the people to serve the feast.
Today, he had personally put his old enemy on the platform. Xiao Yunyi's heart churned for a moment. He did not know why, but he felt somewhat emotional. "Heir, do you still remember the first time we fought? At that time, you entered and left the palace. I was a fallen prince, and you were the only legitimate son of Nanping Wang Manor. All the imperial brothers gathered around you. They treated you better than me, their own brother, just to fight for you, their greatest support. "
The cold iron chain bound his hands and feet, round and round. Xiahou Qing weakly hung his head and smiled weakly. "If it was now, the situation would be completely different. Your Highness's brothers would not be able to avoid me in time. Is Your Highness saying all this to send me off? Then I'll accept Your Highness' good intentions. "
