When Chu Qingxuan thought of this, she realized that there was no one who could help her.
The only person who might help her is Dongfang Hao.
Chu Qingxuan rubbed her temples. "I'm really doing terribly."
My head hurts.
Bored, Chu Qingxuan went to tease the system, hoping to get some information out of it. But no matter how hard Chu Qingxuan tried, the system kept its mouth shut and refused to reveal anything.
Chu Qingxuan's final words to the system were: stingy.
system:"……"
It's not that I don't want to tell you, but once I do, everything will end.
It will end for both of us.
The next person Chu Qingxuan saw was an eunuch holding an imperial edict. Judging from his expression, it was clearly not good news.
Just as Chu Qingxuan had thought, this imperial edict was her death warrant.
"Chu Qingxuan plotted to murder the Crown Princess, a heinous crime. She will be beheaded at noon three days from now."
Chu Qingxuan subconsciously touched her neck; she was about to be beheaded.
After leaving the imperial edict, the eunuch departed.
Chu Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the ground; unless someone came to rescue her, she would not survive.
Chu Qingxuan said, "[Silly girl, what will happen if I die and the mission isn't completed?]"
The system said: [Everything is reset. One option is instant death, and the other is someone sacrificing themselves so you can start over.]
Chu Qingxuan pouted: [Looks like it can only be the second one.]
The system said: "[Can't you trust Dongfang Hao for once?]"
Chu Qingxuan said, "[I just wanted to ask, as for Dongfang Hao, who knows if he'll come to rescue me?]"
Chu Qingxuan thought that if Dongfang Hao came to rescue her, she wouldn't give him the cold shoulder anymore.
After all, he was her savior.
The system said: [If you die, the mission is over.]
Chu Qingxuan suddenly smiled: "[This matter isn't over until the very last moment.]"
System: [In the end, you still believe Dongfang Hao will come to save you, right?]
Chu Qingxuan smiled but didn't say anything.
Time passed slowly, and Chu Qingxuan waited in the dungeon for the day of her execution.
No one looked at her during those three days.
Until she was led to the execution ground.
Chu Qingxuan was led step by step to the execution ground, and the people around her pointed and whispered about her. Chu Qingxuan could vaguely hear some of their comments.
"She's so good-looking, yet so vicious. You can know a person's face but not their heart."
"That's right, I think she's just jealous of Miss Yue, otherwise why would she do something like that?"
"She's just a prostitute, someone who can't be seen in public."
...
Upon hearing these words, Chu Qingxuan's lips curled into a dangerous smile. Her eyes swept across the crowd with a strange look, which immediately silenced those who were gossiping.
Chu Qingxuan murmured, "She talks too much."
Chu Qingxuan stepped onto the high platform, looked at the broadsword, and stood still.
The soldiers standing nearby shouted, "Kneel down!"
Chu Qingxuan glanced at her coldly, showing no intention of kneeling down.
When the soldier saw that Chu Qingxuan refused to kneel, he raised the whip in his arms and struck Chu Qingxuan's leg. At the critical moment, a man grabbed the whip.
Chu Qingxuan looked at the person, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Dongfang Hao, you really came.
Chu Qingxuan consciously stood next to Dongfang Hao.
Dongfang Hao threw the soldiers who had attacked him away and took out a token. "This is the Fourth Prince's token. The Fourth Princess Consort has just woken up and said that Chu Qingxuan did not assassinate her!"
