Lan Yuning's heart felt like it was hit hard by someone with a sledgehammer. There was a buzzing sound, tinnitus and dizziness. For a moment, she suspected that she had gone deaf, but Lan Shuang's voice still continued to reach her.
"Back then, Lan Shuang was also harmed by you to this extent. When she begged desperately, did you ever look at her?"
Lan Shuang leaned forward slightly, her voice ethereal and vague, coupled with the gloomy prison cell, scared Lan Yuning so much that goosebumps appeared all over her body.
She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, as if she didn't recognize her. "What are you talking about?"
Lan Shuang straightened up and chuckled: "Nothing, I've said everything I need to say, just enjoy your last moments here."
"In your next life, don't do evil again, or you'll meet me again."
Lan Yuning's breath caught in her throat: "Who are you?"
Lan Shuang turned and walked into the darkness. The afterglow of the oil lamp reflected off her snow-white fox fur. Her voice faded away, yet was still clearly audible: "I am here to repay the karma."
"cause and effect……"
Lan Yu Ning lost all her strength and fell to the ground with a blank look in her eyes.
…
During these three days, the sky over Kyoto was shrouded in gloomy clouds and fog, and the sun was invisible. However, the lives of the people were not affected much. Everyone continued to do what they were doing, but the topics of conversation after dinner changed one after another.
On the day of the execution, the people went to watch early in the morning. The government sent people to maintain order and stopped them ten steps away from the execution platform. Until Prince Rong and his men were brought up, the people who had been relatively orderly suddenly became agitated.
Prince Rong, who used to be so arrogant in his gorgeous clothes, was now wearing a white linen robe, shackles and leg irons, and was being forced by the yamen runners to walk towards the execution platform. Following behind him was his concubine who had just married him not long ago, and a large number of beautiful women.
"Oh, these beauties are so pitiful. They didn't do anything and yet they were beheaded."
"How can you be so naive? You didn't do anything? Didn't you spend Prince Rong's stolen money on them?"
The common people gathered together to discuss. One of them sneered and said, "Back then, my brother had his legs broken and was kicked out of the Rong Prince's Mansion because he bumped into one of Prince Rong's beauties. We wanted to report it to the police, but they threatened us, so we had to let it go. Now things have changed, and my brother should thank them for kicking him out of the Rong Prince's Mansion. Otherwise, he wouldn't just have a broken leg now."
"Ah? So cruel?"
"Not only that! I also heard that some minor officials, who had just arrived and had no connections, sent beauties to Prince Rong. They first showed their filial piety to the beauties, and then relied on the beauties to show their filial piety to Prince Rong. Anyway, after going through all the layers, everyone had to pay a price. So, none of them are innocent!"
"quiet!"
The executioner above shouted, and the people's discussions immediately became much quieter.
Then he cleared his throat and read out the charges against Prince Rong, including corruption, bribery, bullying men and women, forming cliques for personal gain, and even smuggling.
The people's eyes widened after hearing this. After the last sentence was read out, they were so excited that they wanted to drown King Rong with spit.
Lan Yuning knelt beside him, feeling hopeless.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. In fact, before coming here, she still had some hope, thinking that when she got here, she would shout out the secrets of Lan Shuang and Ming Wang and drag them into the water.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up this morning, she was forced to drink a bowl of something she didn't know what it was, and she couldn't speak at all.
Now she is just a mute.
The executioner gave his final command and threw down the wooden sign: "The time has come, execute!"
The wooden sign fell to the ground with a clang, and the executioner standing behind them pulled out the wooden board and chopped it down with a knife.
With a "swoosh", blood splattered and a row of heads fell to the ground.
The people held their breath.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and a ray of golden light broke through the clouds and shone on the people watching the show below.
To be precise, it was Lan Shuang who was hiding behind the common people.
Lan Shuang wore a bamboo hat this time, covering her face. As the sun set, she exhaled the last of her frustration and felt a sense of relief. At the same time, she heard someone whisper in her ear, "Thank you. I have no regrets."
Lan Shuang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. Now that the cause and effect are resolved, you can rest assured and reincarnate."
"Um."
A wisp of white smoke drifted away with the wind and disappeared into the sky.
888 excitedly calculated: "Dear host, your mission is complete! The female supporting character's resentment value has been completely eliminated, and your points have accumulated to... Hmm, let me calculate..."
After about two seconds, 888 clapped his hands and said, "The remaining points are 90 points. They are all yours~"
Lan Shuang was also somewhat happy. She walked out of the crowd and asked as she walked, "How many points does it cost to exchange for a pill that can cure all poisons?"
888 introduced excitedly: "Host, you've asked the right person. Our detoxification pill can not only cure all poisons, but also strengthen the body. Most importantly, it doesn't cost 998 or 888, but only 88! You won't be cheated or fooled by buying 88. With 88, you can take the advanced detoxification pill home. What are you still hesitating about? Are you tempted..."
Lan Shuang felt her temples throbbing. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, shut up. I don't want to hear your sales pitch. Take the 88 for yourself and give me the detoxification pill."
"Okay, 88 points will be deducted and exchanged for one detoxification pill, leaving 2 points remaining."
Lan Shuang: “…”
There is no need to explain the number at the end, it is useless.
Soon she felt a small box in her palm.
She lifted it up and saw that there was an exquisite little buckle on the antique little box, but it was not locked. She found a sheltered place and gently pushed it with her finger, and the lid opened. Inside lay a dark brown pill, the size of a longan.
She moved a little closer and could smell a faint bitter scent.
"How should I take it? Can I just take it with water?" Lan Shuang closed the lid and carefully put it into her sleeve pocket.
888: "Yes, you have to eat on an empty stomach, because if you eat too early you will vomit it out, so it's better not to eat. And you can't drink water within an hour after eating. Wait until you can't vomit anything, then you can eat something to fill your stomach, if he is still awake."
Lan Shuang frowned when she heard this: "Are there any sequelae?"
888: "There are no after-effects. It's just painful when I eat it, but it goes away after a good night's sleep."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Lan Shuang returned to the palace with the box, intending not to detoxify him first, as he would be very busy and unable to sleep peacefully.
It’s better to wait until everything is settled and then give him a surprise.
