Song Qu stood aside, grimacing and enduring the pain on his back from the fall, and gave him a look as if he was looking at a fool.
In all the years he had been with the emperor, this was the first time he had seen someone who dared to confront him so directly. That was the emperor, the supreme ruler.
Even though he has followed the emperor for so many years, he has to be cautious all the time. Tsk, this Concubine Lan.
Gu Qilan's eyes finally fell on Lanpin, with a mocking look on his face: "I'm not discussing this with you!"
"roll!"
The cold and emotionless voice was mixed with a hint of murderous intent. Lanpin was frightened by the shout of "Get out" and finally came to her senses.
She could feel the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, the murderous intent towards her! The emperor wanted to kill her?
Why? On what basis?
She has deep feelings for the emperor and gave birth to a child for him, but is she still not as good as that bitch Lan Xiang?
Even though the evidence is clear, the emperor still protects that bitch and even wants to kill her?
Concubine Lan felt as if there was a hole in her heart, and she was breathing cold air. For a moment, she forgot her fear and looked straight at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
After a while, she slowly lowered her head, her tone unrecognizable as either happy or angry: "My words and actions were rude, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Gu Qilan's face was filled with impatience, and he didn't even look at her: "Go back to your Jingyang Palace and reflect on your mistakes!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Concubine Lan left, Song Qu felt a little puzzled. Why didn't Concubine Lan make a fuss? This was not like her. Song Qu shook his head with a little regret.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the emperor's low voice: "Go to Qiandai yourself."
Upon hearing this, Song Qu quickly responded seriously.
The emperor is afraid of letting others carry out the execution, so what is Qiandai talking about?
Song Qu brought his apprentice Xiao Luzi secretly to the prison where Qian Dai was imprisoned.
Little Luzi had a delicate appearance but was quite strong, which was totally inconsistent with his face. He was holding a rope two fingers thick and a short wooden stick, which were exactly what was needed for hanging.
Song Quping dismissed the prison warden who was paying him tribute.
Qiandai in the cell seemed not to hear the noise and lay on the ground without moving at all.
Her whole body was stained with blood, and she looked like a bloody person. If it weren't for the faint sound of her breathing, one would have thought she was dead.
Little Luzi opened the prison door very tactfully, dragged the man out and tied him to a wooden stake.
Hanging is to put a rope around the person's neck and tie a knot together with the wooden stake, then pass the wooden stick through the rope loop behind the stake. People hold the two ends of the stick and turn it in one direction. The rope is gradually tightened, and the person with the rope around his neck is slowly hanged to death.
It's not like hanging, where you kick the stool and suddenly get strangled by the neck, struggling for a few breaths before dying.
This method will make people die in agony. The neck will be slowly tightened, making you feel the feeling of being strangled little by little.
Xiao Luzi tied her up, but Qiandai still didn't resist at all, letting him manipulate her like a puppet.
Song Qu said quietly, "The Emperor has decreed that Qian Dai, who plotted to murder the Sixth Prince and raped Concubine Jing, be hanged!"
As soon as the words fell, Qiandai, who had been lifeless, suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Song Qu.
There was astonishment and disbelief in his eyes, which gradually became increasingly dim, with a hint of self-mockery.
Song Qu couldn't understand the emotions in Qiandai's eyes for a moment. No matter who ordered it, it was Qiandai who ordered it. She was going to die no matter what. She had faced so many punishments before without any ripples, but now she was shocked?
As for the unbelievable thing, he didn't understand it even more. She betrayed Concubine Jing and poisoned the Sixth Prince to frame Concubine Jing. The Emperor would definitely not let her go. How could it be unbelievable?
Yes, even though the evidence is conclusive and Qiandai, Jing Fei's confidant, testified, the emperor still doesn't believe that Jing Fei did it.
Not to mention the emperor, even he doesn't believe it.
Qiandai's eyes were dazed, and her heart was filled with sadness. She was nothing but a lowly slave, not even as good as a blade of grass. She should have known this from his words "tear her into pieces" when she pointed out Concubine Jing in the hall.
She had thoughts that she shouldn't have had, she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have liked, she was wrong from the beginning.
She knew her place clearly, and was deeply grateful to her master for taking her in and taking care of her since she was a child. She knew that her master yearned for loyal love, so she hid the thoughts that she shouldn't have in her heart, and it was enough for her to like him silently.
But some time ago, Concubine Lan often came to Yunqing Palace. She accidentally dropped the letter that she had been hiding close to her body, and it happened to be seen by Concubine Lan, so she discovered the matter.
The young lady and the emperor were childhood sweethearts. She witnessed and participated in everything that happened between them. She didn't know when she started to keep that man in her heart.
The letter contained a poem that the emperor had written many years ago. At that time, the emperor was still a prince, and the young lady was the granddaughter of the imperial tutor. The emperor and the young lady were childhood sweethearts, and they would often play chess and write poetry together.
That day, the two of them were writing poems by the lake again. They had tried almost all the topics and were just worrying about what title to choose. She was wearing a light green dress that day and looked particularly fresh and unworldly standing by a pond of lotus flowers.
The two of them wrote poems about this scene, and the poems were kept by the young lady until Wei agreed to climb into his bed. The mistress was heartbroken and asked her to burn all the previous poems and paintings.
She obeyed the order and burned those things, but she was reluctant to burn the poem written by the emperor and kept it.
Concubine Lan knew the emperor's handwriting and could tell at a glance that it was written by the emperor. She was just a servant and had secretly hidden the emperor's poem. Coupled with her panicked look at the emperor at the time, Concubine Lan saw the clue at a glance.
In order to force her to frame Concubine Jing, she really didn't want her master to know about this. She didn't dare to think about what her master would think when he knew that someone around her had been thinking about the emperor.
Coupled with the dark thoughts hidden in her heart, she hoped that the emperor would displease her master because of this, and would no longer only see her master but also see her. Then, would she have a chance?
Even if she is self-aware and just wants to remain unknown, who wouldn't have expectations?
In addition, she thought that the emperor loved her master so much, so even if she framed the emperor, he probably would not kill her master for it. At most, he would be disgusted with her, so she agreed.
Concubine Lan was afraid that she was so unreliable that she even captured her parents and threatened them. It was ridiculous that those two people had bought her for their son. They knew that the human trafficker was in the brothel business, but they still sent her there for the high price.
If she hadn't met the young lady... she would have rotted to death in the brothel long ago. She wished that Concubine Lan would kill them for her.
Qiandai laughed sarcastically, but tears kept rolling down her eyes.
After all, she was greedy. The emperor would not have her in his eyes. If she threatened his master, the emperor would kill her without hesitation!
Song Qu stopped talking nonsense and signaled Xiao Luzi to take action.
Feeling suffocated, Qian Dai did not struggle. At the last moment, Qian Dai suddenly said with a hoarse voice, "I was ordered by Concubine Lan to do this!"
