The late spring sunshine was still chilly, and Hua Yuanzhao was almost carried into the prison van by the jailers.

The wounds on his body felt dull pain as the yamen runners moved roughly. Hua Yuanzhao opened his eyes with difficulty and watched numbly as the jailer locked the door of the prison van.

The wheels turned slowly, passing through the long street filled with people.

Hua Yuanzhao half closed his eyes and looked indifferently at the bustling streets and the people looking towards him.

After all, she is a genius medical doctor of the 21st century and has just traveled through time. Is she going to die now?

"Miss Hua is a good person..."

A stout old lady in the crowd sighed.

"When I was kicked out of the clinic, it was Miss Hua who cured me..."

"How could she murder the Queen?"

"Come on, don't you see how she is now?"

"He even dared to murder the queen. Beheading is the least he can do!"

"If you don't have the ability, don't take on porcelain work! Bah!"

"With this appearance, you still want to marry the Third Prince. You are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

…

Hua Yuanzhao closed his eyes tiredly, with noisy sounds ringing in his ears.

But fortunately there were no rotten eggs or vegetable leaves.

After an unknown amount of time, the vehicle suddenly stopped and the sound of the chains colliding was heard again.

"Miss Hua, please come in." The jailer stood at the door of the prison van, his expression no longer respectful as before.

Hua Yuanzhao looked over and saw his body curled up in the prison van without moving, and every breath he took was accompanied by pain.

When the jailers saw that she didn't move, they immediately came forward with two men, grabbed her arms and dragged her down.

Hua Yuanzhao was so weak that he staggered forward and rolled off the prison van like a ball. He hit the ground and coughed up blood.

She was almost forcibly dragged to the execution ground and pressed onto the guillotine. When her head was pressed against the wooden block, she could even smell the strong smell of blood.

Gu Changsu condescended to step down from the execution platform and half-knelt beside her to look at her.

"Hua Yuanzhao, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being greedy and ruthless." Gu Changsu whispered.

If she hadn't been so obsessed with becoming his princess, and if she hadn't been so vicious and repeatedly attacked her concubine's sisters, it wouldn't have come to this.

"Remember to behave yourself in your next life," said Gu Changsu.

Hua Yuanzhao looked up with difficulty, and felt that the man was hypocritical and ridiculous.

"Rules? Harming your fiancée for your sister-in-law is your rule?"

"What?" Gu Changsu was stunned. He didn't expect Hua Yuanzhao, who was always well-educated and well-mannered, to say such a thing.

Hua Yuanzhao looked at him with contempt: "I am so blind to fall in love with someone like you! I am so unlucky!"

At the same time, Rong Xiu, who was waiting outside Kunning Palace, was turning around in circles anxiously. He looked up at the sky from time to time, and finally couldn't hold back and wanted to move forward.

"Master, something bad has happened!" Shihu rushed over and said anxiously.

"The people from the Dali Temple sent news that Miss Hua was taken to the execution ground!"

"What!" Rong Xiu's heart was shocked when he heard that, and he turned around and walked out without hesitation.

Princess Changle, who happened to be walking out of Kunning Palace, saw this scene and hurriedly called out, "Rongxiu!"

She hurried over and asked solemnly: "Where are you going without waiting for the Queen Mother to wake up?"

Rong Xiu looked anxious and didn't want to talk to her any more. He just said, "Execution ground! Gu Changsu can't wait any longer and wants to kill her before the time has even come!"

"You're crazy!" Princess Changle's eyes suddenly widened.

"My third brother has been ordered to supervise the execution. What can you do if you go?" Princess Changle said rationally, "If you really want to, you might as well go and ask the little uncle for help!"

"It's too late!" Rong Xiu said without turning back, and turned and ran away ignoring her obstruction.

As soon as he left the palace, he rode his horse along the long street, whip flying in his hand, almost knocking over a roadside stall.

…

The knife was about to fall from Hua Yuanzhao's neck when suddenly a long whip came crashing down from the air.

The executioner felt severe pain in his hand and the machete slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Rong Xiu pulled the reins and stopped the carriage almost to the edge of the execution platform. The horse's neighing resounded through the sky and its front hooves flew down.

Riding steadily on the horse, it felt like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

Seeing the person coming, Gu Changsu stood up with a dark face and angrily asked: "Rong Xiu! How dare you rob the execution ground!"

"The time has not yet come. Do you, the Third Prince, want to execute the person privately?" Rong Xiu asked back, looking calm and full of momentum.

"I am acting on orders, how can it be considered as private execution? You, on the other hand, are defying the majesty of heaven. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Gu Changsu clenched his fists under his sleeves. This Rong Xiu was really haunting him. If he didn't curb his arrogance today, what would happen in the future?

"Someone, bring Rong Xiu to this prince!"

At Gu Changsu's command, several soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Rong Xiu with knives in hand.

Rong Xiu looked at the people in front of him without any fear in his eyes.

The hand holding the reins lightly fell on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Rong Xiu's mouth corner slightly raised, his eyes full of contempt.

"Just you guys?"

Gu Changsu waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers immediately raised their swords and chopped at him.

The next moment, Rong Xiu drew his sword from its sheath. The sound of the sword lingered like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, and the blue cold light slashed straight towards the officers and soldiers.

On the other side, in Kunning Palace.

Princess Changle stood there worriedly, wanting to curse.

"Princess, the queen has woken up!" The little maid ran out happily to report the news, and a palace servant nearby had already hurriedly run to call for the imperial physician.

Princess Changle was delighted and quickly picked up her skirt and ran back.

As soon as he entered, he saw the queen leaning on the bed, drinking water with the help of a palace maid.

"Mother." Changle knelt down hurriedly: "Miss Hua will be beheaded, please save my life!"

The queen half-closed her eyes and said nothing, listening quietly to the palace maid beside her telling the whole story.

Only after the maid finished speaking did she sigh softly: "Thanks to Lin'an's ability to recognize and employ people, this saved my life."

Seeing that she kept silent about Hua Yuanzhao, Princess Changle became anxious.

"Although the eldest daughter of the Hua family has made great contributions...it is also true that she deceived the emperor." The queen looked at Princess Changle and said lightly: "I did not wake up in the time she expected."

"A sedative ingredient was added to your incense, which is why you have been comatose until now. Miss Hua is really innocent!" Princess Changle said anxiously.

"Mother, don't you want to know who caused you to remain unconscious?"
