Chapter 182 Killing without mercy
Ling Chan waited for Zuo Lun to look back in disappointment, so she did not move.
But Zuo Dongrou, who was beside Xiao Ze, came to Zuo Lun at some point in time.
"Brother." There was something unusual in her voice, but no one noticed it yet.
Zuo Lun turned around and was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze and his gaze slowly shifted downwards.
There was a dagger stuck in his abdomen.
It was the dagger that Jie Zhen's men used to hold Xiao Ze hostage. It was unknown when Zuo Dongrou got it.
She slowly loosened her hands stained with Zuo Lun's blood...
Gong Zi was surprised and turned to look at Ling Chan. She was asking Ling Chan whether she should go and save Zuo Lun.
Letting Zuo Lun die like this... is too easy.
Ling Chan didn't expect Zuo Dongrou to choose to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice at this time. She shook her head and asked Gong Zi not to interfere.
Zuo Lun must die, no matter who kills him.
Xin Jiancheng was loyal to Zuo Dongrou, so he immediately came behind Zuo Dongrou.
Zuo Lun was still breathing heavily. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zuo Dongrou, "Rou, Rou'er..."
Like everyone else, he didn't expect Zuo Dongrou to do it himself.
He is her elder brother!
Zuo Dongrou took a deep breath and said, "Brother, don't blame Rouer."
"It's all your fault. You're so cruel."
"I am your only biological sister, and Ze'er is your nephew..."
"Since you can abandon me and Ze'er..."
She raised her head, her eyes cold, "Ai Jia, naturally I can't keep you here either."
At this moment, she was not Zuo Lun's sister, but the queen mother of Daqi.
"You..." Zuo Lun's hand couldn't touch Zuo Dongrou in the end. He fell slowly and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Looking coldly at the dead Zuo Lun, Zuo Dongrou raised his eyes and looked at the new recruits outside who were looking at each other in confusion.
"Xin Jiancheng." she called.
"I'm here." Xin Jiancheng's voice was loud.
"Kill them!" Zuo Dongrou's voice was too hard and too cold.
Even Xin Jiancheng was stunned, "Queen Mother..."
Kill them?
Are they referring to these confused recruits?
The new recruits outside the hall were as stunned as Xin Jiancheng.
Kill them?
The Queen Mother wants to kill them?
But they...are going to the palace to support the king and save the emperor from danger.
Why kill them?
It was not known who knelt first, but more than 10,000 people who were not knocked down by the anesthetic needles knelt down one after another, and begged for mercy outside the hall in a black mass.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
In fact, they did not think they were guilty, but the imperial power was supreme, and they could only beg with all their might.
I hope the Queen Mother will show leniency.
Ling Chan stood up and asked, "Queen Dowager, why did you kill them?"
In order not to hurt these innocent recruits, she had used an anesthetic needle. The recruits would wake up in about an hour.
Zuo Dongrou looked at the panicked people below, "They..."
“Must die!”
Turning to Ling Chan, he said, "What happened today must not be spread out."
Zuo Lun was plotting a rebellion! Once word got out, the entire Zuo family would be implicated.
As a daughter of the Zuo family, she could not escape condemnation and criticism.
In the future...whatever she does, she may be opposed by others on the grounds that the Zuo family is plotting treason.
Even the emperor would be criticized for this matter.
Therefore, this matter must not be spread out.
As long as these people are dead, she can tell the world.
It was Xie Zhen who plotted rebellion, and Zuo Lun led his troops to defend the king, but the entire army was wiped out!
In this way, the Zuo family can restore its reputation, and she and the emperor will not be affected.
Ling Chan understood her intention.
"No!" Ling Chan firmly objected.
"These new recruits were deceived by Zuo Lun and came all the way from home to the capital."
"They are doing this for the court and for the people!"
Zuo Dongrou insisted on her own opinion, "They must die."
Seeing how determined she was, the people outside the hall stopped kneeling and stood up from the ground one after another.
There were angry voices in the crowd, "Zuo Lun's rebellion, what does it have to do with us?"
"The Queen Mother wants to kill the witnesses to protect the reputation of her Zuo family."
"Since everyone is going to die today, why not take a gamble!!"
The crowd's anger was aroused and they began to push the imperial guards who were trying to stop them.
Although Zuo Dongrou had given the order, Xin Jiancheng did not convey her order, so the imperial guards just tried their best to intercept them at this moment.
"Xin Jiancheng, why don't you give the order quickly?" Zuo Dongrou said anxiously.
These people...cannot be allowed to stay, absolutely cannot be allowed to stay.
Xiao Ze came to Zuo Dongrou and looked at the people below.
"Mother..." He was a child, and he couldn't be as cruel as Zuo Dongrou, "or... spare them."
Ling Chan gave Gong Zi a look, and Gong Zi took the other sisters from Qingyi Tower and walked out of the palace.
They are always ready to rescue the new recruits.
Zuo Dongrou was furious, "Ling Chan, do you really have to go against me like this?"
Ling Chan directly retorted, "Why should they be blamed for the Zuo family's crimes?"
Her words were recognized by the new recruits. "Why should we be blamed for the Zuo family's crimes?!"
"Why should we be blamed for the Zuo family's crimes?!"
"Why should we be blamed for the Zuo family's crimes?!"
The voice is loud and resounds through the sky.
Zuo Dongrou was panicking, afraid that her voice would be heard outside. "Xin Jiancheng, don't you obey my orders?"
Xin Jiancheng felt embarrassed, but he had to listen to Zuo Dongrou.
He looked at the Imperial Guards and ordered, "Imperial Guards, listen up! Anyone present today will be killed without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the recruits pushed even harder.
The imperial guards had drawn their swords upon receiving Xin Jiancheng's order.
With a swing of the sword, the new recruit of the Imperial Guard had his throat cut and fell to the ground without even having time to wail.
The recruits retreated...
They were quiet, looking at the person lying in front of them in surprise and anxiety.
The blood of those people flowed from their necks and spread along the stone slabs outside the temple.
After a moment, their eyes turned red.
"Fight, fight with them."
"If you don't fight, you'll die. If you fight, you still have a chance to survive!"
The words from the crowd made the recruits start to resist.
They also had weapons in their hands, but because they were once civilians using farm tools, they were not used to using them.
But at this time, their lives were threatened and they could not care less.
They held their weapons like farm tools and fought against the imperial guards.
Gong Zi led people to help the new recruits separate from the imperial guards...
Ling Chan was about to convince Zuo Dongrou, but her stomach suddenly ached. She instinctively reached for help, and at that moment, a warm current flowed from below...
Why did my water break at this time?
Gong Zi keenly heard the sound of water and jumped back from the crowd.
"OP, are you...going to give birth?"
Ling Chan nodded.
Gong Zi looked outside and saw that the situation was very chaotic, but she couldn't care less about that now. The most important thing was for the host to give birth to the baby.
"Master, I will take you back to the palace."
