Chapter 2401: The execution is not her turn yet
Xue Yun was shocked when he heard this.
At this moment, the door of Yangxingzhai opened.
Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and saw Nan Yan slowly walking out from inside. The expression on her face was cold, even colder than the wind outside.
Everyone subconsciously rushed forward: "My Queen?"
Ran Xiaoyu rushed to ask: "My Lady, how is she?"
Xue Yun didn't ask her, but walked directly to the door in two steps. He looked inside and was immediately shocked and exclaimed: "Ah!"
Then his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Everyone subconsciously looked over and was stunned.
Kang Biyun was seen lying in a corner. A dazzling blood-red flower bloomed on the wall, and there was a large patch of bright red on her forehead. Blood was dripping, staining most of her face and even her whole body red.
She fell there, lifeless.
She died by hitting the pillar!
Nan Yan also glanced back. Although her eyes were glaring blood red, they looked very calm, even a little cold. She said lightly, "Kang Jieyu died suddenly of illness. Someone come and clean up."
“…”
When everyone heard this, they held their breath.
Ran Xiaoyu frowned slightly and looked up at her: "My Lady?"
Died suddenly from illness?
If these four words were the cause of her death, then many things would have to end there.
But Nan Yan didn't hesitate at all. She turned around and looked at Xin Mimi, whose face was pale and she couldn't bear to look at the miserable scene inside. She said, "Mr. Xin, I don't need your help here. Go back and rest. I will contact you again in two days."
“…Yes, yes.”
Xin Mimi trembled, bowed to her, then turned and left.
When walking, his steps were also messy.
Ruoshui and the others reacted quickly. They immediately called people and started to clean up everything in the house. Nanyan just gave Tingfu a wink, and Tingfu brought people to take away Ruying, who was already paralyzed on the ground with fear.
Nan Yan said again, "Doctor Xue."
But no one responded.
She frowned slightly and turned around, only to see Xue Yun standing by the door, holding onto the door frame, his eyes staring straight at the bloody scene inside, his whole body frozen.
She let out a deep breath and said, "Xue Yun!"
"ah?"
This time, Xue Yun finally heard her voice and turned around in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? What are your instructions?"
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Then she said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
But just when she took two steps, Xue Yun's hesitant voice came from behind her, and he said softly: "Your Highness, your humble servant, your humble servant has an unwelcome request."
"Um?"
She turned back to look at her: "What are you doing?"
Xue Yun lowered his head and said softly, "Your humble servant wants to see her off for the last time."
“…”
"After I finish my work here, I will come and apologize to the Queen."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her, then glanced at the figures busy cleaning up inside. The smell of blood had already filled the room, the strong smell of blood making everyone shudder slightly.
She was extremely calm about Kang Biyun's death.
Not only because what she did deserved death, but even if Xinping had not fallen into the water and died, it would have been him who sentenced Kang Biyun to death.
What's more, she murdered her own daughter in this way.
So, this was the first time that Nan Yan faced the death of a person calmly, and she also believed that there would be many such incidents in the future.
But Xue Yun is different after all.
She is a doctor, a person who studies medicine. She is born to respect life and must have compassion for the dead.
What's more, it was because of her that Kang Biyun took this path, and she still felt a little guilty.
So, Nan Yan said calmly: "After sending her off, come here immediately."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan waved her hand lightly and turned away.
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly followed.
As she walked beside Nan Yan, she asked softly, "Madam, what did she say to you just now? Why did she seem so stubborn before, but now she's willing to die?"
Nan Yan looked back at her and told her what Kang Biyun had said.
Ran Xiaoyu sneered when she heard this.
Said: "This woman is still stubborn until her death."
Nan Yan walked forward and said lightly: "A loyal person? Looking for a loyal person in this palace. She does have the leisure to do so."
“This is not a one-minded issue.”
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly, "Your Majesty is right. Didn't Ying know what it meant to be a concubine before she was chosen to enter the palace? Why are you complaining now?"
“…”
"Just like when Your Majesty reads history books every day and chooses the Emperor's Chronicles, you should know that the person in it is the emperor. But you still have to wonder why he handles government affairs every day and why he has concubines in the harem. Isn't that contradicting yourself?"
“…”
"If you have the ability, just don't choose in the first place. If you complain about it after you've chosen, what's the point?"
Nan Yan sneered, "What's that? Just hypocritical."
“…”
"It's a pity that she was still hypocritical until her death. Her life was really frustrating."
Ran Xiaoyu also sneered.
After the two of them walked for a while, Ran Xiaoyu asked softly again, "But, Madam, by doing this, are you planning to spare her family?"
Nan Yan turned around and looked at her.
It seems that Ran Xiaoyu has grown a lot. Just by looking at her, I can understand what she is thinking.
Kang Biyun had committed such a shameful act. According to what Ran Xiaoyu had just said to Xue Yun, she would definitely die; it was just a matter of how and how many people would die. If Nan Yan were to tell the truth, she would be subjected to a brutal torture that would leave her in a state of neither life nor death. Furthermore, for murdering the princess, her entire family would be implicated.
However, Nan Yan only came to sentence her to death and left her body intact.
Moreover, the four words "died suddenly due to illness" just now even preserved her reputation, and naturally her relatives would not be affected.
Nan Yan nodded lightly.
She said, "I have never agreed to such crimes as collective punishment. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. She plotted to murder Xin Ping and violated the palace rules. Taking her life is enough."
"Then the Emperor..."
"I will speak to the Emperor."
As Nan Yan spoke, she recalled the murderous look on Zhu Feng's face that night when he learned that Xinping was murdered by someone while drowning. If she really knew that, Kang Biyun's death would not be as simple as just hitting the pillar. Zhu Feng would definitely tear her to pieces.
"but,"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said softly: "Why not use the canonical punishment?"
Nan Yan turned around and looked at her.
Then he said: "It is not her turn to be punished according to the law."
“……?”
Ran Xiaoyu was startled.
Subconsciously lowering his voice, he asked softly, "What do you mean, Madam?"
