Duan Gouqiong shook himself: "Is it really okay to be so bloody?"
"Those wronged girls had their lives ruined, unable to live with dignity, and chose to commit suicide. Do you think it's too much to execute the flower thief by slow slicing?"
Duan Gouqiong had a complicated expression on her face. She stood below without saying anything. The emperor then asked with a curious look on his face, "Princess Gouqiong, why are you so curious about the fate of the flower thief? Could it be that someone close to you has committed this crime?"
Duan Gouqiong smiled awkwardly. "I've been bored lately, so I read a storybook and learned about the flower thief. Your Majesty, I'm really curious about the torture instruments and criminal laws in the prison. Could you give me a token so I can go to Shuntian Prefecture and take a look around and broaden my horizons?"
Duan Gouqiong spoke expectantly, his eyes full of hope, coupled with a look of innocence and curiosity, enough to convince anyone.
The emperor smiled and said, "Princess, you are curious, why do you need a token? Just let the prince take you there, no one will stop you!"
Duan Gouqiong hesitated: "What if they stop us? Should I take a token as a precaution?"
"Don't worry, the prince is a prominent figure, how dare they stop him!"
Duan Gouqiong was still hesitant and a little unconvinced.
But the emperor said it was okay, and if she couldn't come back after leaving the palace, she could do so.
"Okay, I'll go out of the palace to find the prince first."
Duan Gouqiong walked out. The emperor looked at her, and the relaxed smile on his face gradually disappeared.
After leaving the palace, Duan Gouqiong returned to the Prince's Mansion. Only Ni Yueshan was in the Prince's Mansion. Jing Yuchen had left the mansion early in the morning and had not returned.
Duan Gouqiong said anxiously, "By the time the Crown Prince returns, Shao Lecheng might have already been executed by lingchi. Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture first! I believe that with your status as a princess married to a foreign king and the title of Crown Princess, you can go in with your airs and no one should stop you!"
"...Where did the princess go this morning?"
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture first!"
Outside Shuntian Prefecture, Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong got off the carriage one after another and headed towards Shuntian Prefecture.
Duan Gouqiong said proudly, "This is the Crown Princess of the Crown Prince's Mansion, the princess from Canglie who is marrying into the alliance! Please get out of the way immediately. The Crown Princess is coming to Shuntian Mansion to satisfy her curiosity!"
The two guards looked surprised. This...
Although they felt strange, the two guards still said respectfully, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the master, and then I will take you in!"
Duan Gouqiong immediately said in displeasure, "What are you reporting? You don't even give the Crown Princess face? Get out of the way!"
Duan Gouqiong's hot temper flared up, and he waved his arms to push the man away. With that momentum, who would dare to stop him?
Although he is very small, he has great strength in pushing people.
No one dared to fight back, so Duan Gouqiong had to rush in. Ni Yueshan twitched the corner of his mouth and followed him in.
There were hundreds of people imprisoned in the cells. There were too many cells, the visibility was dim, the air was not circulating, and the smell was extremely bad.
It would be difficult to find the person Duan Gouqiong is looking for without someone to guide the way.
Duan Gouqiong looked through the rooms one by one, which was a bit tiring. Finally, he asked the jailer, "Where is the flower thief who was brought in last night being held?"
"The flower thief who was detained last night had a certain reputation. Was his nickname Master Shao?"
"Yes, yes, it's him!"
Duan Gouqiong was very satisfied that the jailer knew Shao Lecheng!
The jailer said with some embarrassment: "The man is not being held here. He has been sent to the execution ground and will be beheaded at noon!"
Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong originally saw hope and thought they could save the person, but the jailer's words instantly frightened them!
"What time is it now?" Ni Yueshan asked in surprise.
"It's almost noon, and that Mr. Shao was just sent away..."
Duan Gouqiong's eyes widened as he demanded viciously, "Didn't they say the flower thief would be executed by slow slicing? How did it become beheading at noon?"
"It all depends on your order, my Lord. We are just following it!"
Duan Gouqiong was anxious and looked at Ni Yueshan: "What should I do?"
Ni Yueshan frowned tightly: "Go to the execution ground!"
The two rushed over quickly, very anxious.
It was indeed almost noon and there was no time to waste.
When they arrived at the execution ground, they saw that it was surrounded by people, and there was a man kneeling on the ground. The man was wearing the clothes of a death row prisoner, his hair was neatly tied up, and he did not look at all disheveled.
That is the real Shao Lecheng!
