Zhao Yunzhu was stunned for a moment.
Song Shumin continued to smile bitterly, "Over the years, every servant who served me was an informant in the palace. I... am just a puppet princess of the Song Palace!"
Zhao Yunzhu didn't know how to comfort herself, so she lowered her eyes and drank the bowl of chicken soup in one gulp.
Song Shumin then scooped two more bowls of chicken soup, sprinkled the medicine powder in her hand into them, and stirred the bowl with the spoon using her fingers.
Zhao Yunzhu looked over with wide eyes.
"After hearing what they just heard, it would be difficult to deal with them if they go back. We can only let them die quietly."
Song Shumin spoke casually, as if human life was like an ant in her eyes.
Zhao Yunzhu pursed her lips and swallowed the persuasion that was about to come out of her mouth.
What can she persuade?
What Song Shumin said makes sense. If these two people were really allowed to go back alive.
The King and Queen of Song might have other thoughts in mind.
Song Shumin called the two maids in and said, "There's still some chicken soup left. Don't waste it. You two can eat it."
The two maids showed shock on their faces, and then fear flashed in their eyes.
I was just about to decline.
Song Shumin's tone suddenly changed, her face turned cold, and she said angrily, "Why, don't you take me, your master, the princess, seriously?"
"When I get back, I will definitely ask Mother to make the decision. This princess wants to see for herself whether Mother sees me, her daughter, as the most important, or you two who disrespect your master!"
Under Song Shumin's intimidation, the two of them hurriedly knelt down and apologized tremblingly.
Then he drank the two bowls of chicken soup in one gulp.
"Go get the carriage ready. We'll return to Chang'an today."
Song Shumin then gave instructions.
After the two maids left, Zhao Yunzhu finally asked, "They..."
"Don't worry, the poison won't take effect until noon tomorrow."
Song Shumin guessed what Zhao Yunzhu wanted to ask, and answered truthfully without any concealment.
He got on the carriage and headed straight back to Chang'an.
Tomorrow is the day of execution.
Song Shumin and Zhao Yunzhu stayed in Chang'an, in a private house of her own.
The King of Song and his wife just thought she was going to live in a farm outside the city for a while.
No suspicion arose.
After all, the servants around Song Shumin are all spies of the Song King and his wife.
The next morning, before daybreak, Song Shumin quietly took Zhao Yunzhu, carried two maids on her back, changed into casual clothes, and left the house through the back door.
"Zhao Yunzhu, have you thought it over? Do you really want to go and see it?"
When Song Shumin and Zhao Yunzhu walked into an alley, she stopped Zhao Yunzhu and asked.
Although the two have had many grievances over the years, this is still a bit cruel.
"Thank you, don't worry, I'm fine."
How could Zhao Yunzhu not understand Song Shumin's intentions?
She smiled, but there was a hint of helplessness and sadness in her smile.
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu's insistence, Song Shumin pursed her lips, sighed, and lowered her eyes to hide the depth in her eyes.
He sighed heavily and said quietly, "Okay, today, I will accompany you."
The two hid in an alley. The decree to behead the entire Zhao family had already been posted all over the streets and alleys.
Today, many people in Chang'an put down their work.
Come here specially.
Prime Minister Zhao is wholeheartedly concerned about the people, but when faced with slander from the imperial power, the Zhao family embezzles stolen money and despises the imperial power.
Amidst all these rumors.
The people who had not believed at first gradually became convinced.
The Zhao family members, wearing prison uniforms, were brought up one by one by the officers.
Zhao Yunzhu and Song Shumin were mixed in the crowd.
Seeing the haggard faces of her parents, brother and sister-in-law, Zhao Yunzhu felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a needle.
She clenched her fists.
He gritted his teeth and stared at his loved ones on the execution ground.
My heart is filled with sadness, despair and bottomless darkness.
My legs felt heavy, and at this moment, all my energy and spirit seemed to be drained away by someone invisibly.
"You dog official, go to hell!"
"You dog official, go to hell!"
“Go to hell!”
The curses from the crowd were heard one after another.
I don't know who started it, but rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and broken stones were all thrown at the Zhao family members on the execution ground.
Zhao Yunzhu felt depressed, her eyes slightly red, and she was about to rush forward to stop them.
"Zhao Yunzhu, calm down!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm tightly.
It’s Song Shumin.
She looked at Zhao Yunzhu, shook her head, and whispered, "Think about your niece!"
With just one sentence, he successfully pulled Zhao Yunzhu back.
yes.
What would happen to her niece if she died too?
Tears welled up in my eyes.
She bit her lip tightly, engraving the appearance of her parents, brother and sister-in-law into her mind.
I watched the rubble smash heavily on my loved ones, my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, with their heads broken and bleeding.
Zhao Yunzhu bit the corner of her mouth herself.
As time approaches.
The executioner's sword gleamed coldly in the sun.
At a command, the executioner raised his knife and struck down.
hiss.
Gasps of air were heard from the crowd one after another.
Zhao Yunzhu watched the heads of her loved ones rolling down and the blood overflowing on the execution ground.
Zhao Yunzhu suddenly couldn't breathe.
The world was spinning before my eyes.
There was a roar and explosion in my ears, and my mind was filled with scarlet blood.
Song Shumin held Zhao Yunzhu's arm tightly.
"Zhao Yunzhu..."
The words of persuasion got stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter a single word.
As the bodies were taken away one by one by the officials.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Zhao Yunzhu turned around, and the tears that had been suppressed in her eyes finally burst out at this moment.
I could hear the crowd gradually dispersing, accusing and cursing the Zhao family.
