There was also a sound of falling below.
"Kill Ling Jing!"
"Kill Ling Jing!"
"Ride her head as fast as you can to the southern border!"
Emperor Jing had a look of anger on his face before, but now he had no expression at all.
Butler Bai, who was standing next to Dongfang Qing, had never expected such a thing to happen. Even though he had lived to this age, he had never seen a woman who acted so treacherous and unpredictable that made people terrified.
But there is no time to worry about that right now.
He was so anxious that he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Miss Ling San..."
Dongfang Qing looked at the woman standing on the execution platform with unclear meaning, with swords pointed at her neck by countless guards.
The emotion in his eyes was unclear.
Butler Bai saw that he didn't say anything, "Your Highness!"
Before Dongfang Qing could say anything, a courtier stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I request that Ling Jing be executed immediately. And her head should be sent to the southern border as fast as possible, so that the southern countries can be given an explanation!"
"I reconsider!"
Another minister stood up, "Ling Jing is simply a crazy person! She didn't kill the envoys when the two armies were fighting. She actually did something that insulted the dignity and reputation of our Dajing state. It's not too much to cut her into pieces!"
"However, for the sake of General Ling, give her a quick death. I suggest that the Ministry of Justice execute her!"
This sentence hits the nail on the head.
Many court officials stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is right. If Ling Jing is a ruthless villain, she will inevitably refuse to obey the punishment if she is allowed to be executed, which will cause unnecessary casualties."
"If she can even attack the Ministry of Justice, who has a connection with her and has taken good care of her, then there is no need to care about giving her any respect, just shoot her to death with arrows or hack her to death with swords!"
Below the execution platform, the hundreds of people who had spoken for Baili Feiyue before, faced with the indignation of the crowd around them and then looked at the reactions of the court officials. They were already so frightened by the foreign envoy's behavior that their legs were shaking.
At this moment, his whole body was trembling.
But they all fell to their knees, no longer caring about anything else.
"Your Majesty! Please have mercy! Although Doctor Ling committed a serious crime, she also made great contributions!"
Even if they can no longer survive in Kyoto because of this incident, or even go to jail.
They have to say it too!
People can't be so heartless.
They will never forget the great kindness that Third Miss Ling has shown them!
Now no one will plead for Miss Ling San.
They knew that it was impossible to save Miss Ling San. But...
Always try it!
They always have to do something for her!
Trembling all over, "Your Majesty, we, the common people, personally participated in the vaccination, which saved many children from dying of smallpox. Doctor Ling has made great contributions! Please, Your Majesty, please give her a lighter sentence in consideration of her previous contributions and the General's!"
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed continuously.
These hundred or so people were so insignificant among the tens of thousands of onlookers that it was laughable.
At this moment, the people around who were shouting for murder were shocked by their scene and looked at them like fools.
They are tired of living, right? Are they begging for mercy in this situation?
However, it is not only them who are tired of living;
Someone rode a horse straight into the crowd and came to the execution platform.
She was a woman who was dressed neatly, had a pretty face, but a cold expression.
She dismounted and saluted Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, I think Ling Jing should not be killed!"
Obviously, even Emperor Jing did not expect the person in front of him to appear. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and was obviously furious because of what he said, "Mo Li, do you know that Ling Jing has committed several serious crimes! As a princess of the royal family, you are not young anymore, you should know the severity of the law! You actually come to plead for her?!"
"I know," Princess Mo Li looked up, her expression still cold, "It is precisely because I know that Ling Jing should not be killed."
He continued indifferently, "These foreign envoys, once they came to my Dajing, did everything except murder and arson. They are so arrogant and do not take my Dajing seriously. Don't they deserve to die? As for her plotting to murder the heir to the throne..."
"You're such a bastard! What do you know! Get out!"
"I haven't finished what I want to say. Please forgive me for leaving later."
How could Emperor Jing give her a chance to speak? "Come here, take Princess Mo Li away! And..."
Look at the people who are kneeling and begging for Baili Feiyue.
"You actually pleaded for mercy for such a traitorous criminal! Come, arrest all these unruly people who don't know right from wrong and are disrupting the execution ground!"
I saw the guards rushing towards the hundred or so people like a tide.
Baili Feiyue, who was somewhat surprised by the appearance of Princess Mo Li, laughed, "If you dare to hurt them or touch them, I will make everyone present here be buried with me today."
"hiss"!
There was a sound of gasps.
It also successfully stopped the guards.
The eyes of those kneeling people were red and they were trembling with fear. They said in a trembling voice, "Doctor Ling..."
"Everyone, this is none of your business. Get up and go back."
"Doctor Ling...!"
Baili Feiyue didn't say much. She first glanced at Princess Mo Li who suddenly appeared, but Princess Mo Li didn't even glance at her.
I don't care.
Look at Emperor Jing again.
With a helpless expression, "Your Majesty, I was planning to die obediently. You are too indecisive. You keep dithering and beating around the bush. I told you before that this is boring."
From the execution platform, he walked down step by step.
The guards were forced to retreat again.
Baili Feiyue didn't even look at them.
"So, I'm leaving and I'm not going to play anymore. You guys can do whatever you want."
Butler Bai above was stunned.
There was a hint of interest in Dongfang Qing's dark eyes, but when his gaze fell on Princess Mo Li, who didn't even look at him, the smile in his eyes turned unpredictable.
Minister Wang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Minister Mu still had that elegant, smiling look on his face.
And those court officials whose faces were still filled with indignation looked as if they had been slapped in the face.
I don’t know how to respond to Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue said she didn't want to play, so she clapped her hands and said, "I'll kindly remind you all not to block the road."
The people below the stage retreated several steps like birds and beasts scattering.
The guards who surrounded Baili Feiyue and retreated were sweating coldly.
But even if we are afraid, we have to go ahead without Emperor Jing giving the order again.
Just as they glanced at each other and were about to attack together.
The little girl laughed in a sweet voice, like cotton candy, "If I were you, I wouldn't move."
The sound was not loud, as if it came from the wind.
It seems very far away, yet very close.
But it penetrates into everyone's ears so clearly.
Like a demon, all attention was immediately captured by that voice!
