Chapter 567 It’s accurate
On the second day, news spread in the palace that the queen was seriously ill and needed to rest and not be disturbed.
Yun Qingqing was not surprised at all.
The emperor was still worried about the impact on the country's destiny, so he suppressed the queen's actions and imprisoned her on the pretext of being seriously ill.
I don’t know if the emperor still has some feelings for the queen and is reluctant to let her die suddenly, so he just wants to lock her up in the palace to prevent her from causing trouble again.
But none of this matters anymore. Without the shield of Heaven, the cause and effect of the Queen can no longer be suppressed. The longer it drags on, the more miserable her end will be.
As for the queen's mother's family, their good days are about to end.
That day, Yun Qingqing went to the Heavenly Prison.
She did not take the open road, but appeared quietly in the cell. She raised her hand and set up a barrier. From the outside, no one could see anything unusual in the cell, nor could they hear any movement inside.
Xiao Zirui curled up in the corner of the cell, looking exhausted and haggard. When he heard the noise, he raised his head so slowly as if he was sleepwalking.
But when he saw Yun Qingqing's face, his eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed to her feet.
"Qingqing! I knew you couldn't bear to take care of me! I've been thinking a lot these days. In the past, I was... uh!"
Yun Qingqing kicked Xiao Zirui back into the corner, her face full of disgust:
"Get away!"
Xiao Zirui's back hit the wall, his eyes went dark and a sweet and fishy taste came up in his throat, and he was speechless for a long time.
Yun Qingqing then looked at him leisurely, with a clear light in her eyes.
The luck and cause and effect of this scumbag are the same as when his rebellion failed, and his lifeline is almost over.
No matter who concealed the secret, it seemed that they only concealed the Queen's secret and ignored Xiao Zirui.
She was thinking about the purpose of the person behind the scenes doing this. Xiao Zirui finally caught his breath, propped himself up and spoke with difficulty:
"You're right to be angry with me... I was blind and heartless before and let you suffer so much. Now I regret it... I really know I was wrong... Qingqing, can you..."
Yun Qingqing slapped him across the air.
"Shut up! Do you think you have the right to call me Qingqing?"
After slapping him, she immediately raised her hand and cast a curse at him. Xiao Zirui was unable to make any sound on the spot. He could only stare with his eyes in embarrassment and move his mouth desperately, but he couldn't utter a word.
Yun Qingqing looked down at him and curled her lips coldly:
"Now that it's come to this, forget your chances of a comeback. The hundreds of assassins you secretly raised attacked our Regent's Palace last night and were completely wiped out."
Xiao Zirui's eyes suddenly widened, he made some noises for a long time, then shook his head desperately, trying to say that it was not his order at all.
But Yun Qingqing didn't care about these at all.
At this point, this bastard still insisted on saying those words to disgust her, so don't blame her for being unsportsmanlike.
Who doesn't know how to destroy someone's heart?
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"The Queen's role as the mastermind behind this has been exposed. She even admitted to planning to poison the Emperor. Now she can't save herself. You can't expect her to persuade the Emperor to show mercy to you."
Xiao Zirui was struck by lightning, his face showing despair.
Although he knew before that it would be difficult for him to turn things around, he could at least count on his mother to plead for him.
The emperor and the empress have always had a deep relationship for many years. Considering this relationship, Xiao Zirui still believed that there was a glimmer of hope and that he would not lose his life.
But if the Queen Mother really said she wanted to poison him in front of the Emperor, then wouldn't everything be over...
Yun Qingqing looked at his devastated expression and smiled calmly:
"Don't worry, the emperor won't have the chance to execute you."
Xiao Zirui was stunned for a moment, and the desire to survive burst out in his eyes again. He looked at her expectantly.
Yun Qingqing's smile turned sarcastic:
"After all, it's New Year's Day now. The earliest we can order your execution is after the Lantern Festival, but your lifeline is only enough to last until the tenth day."
Xiao Zirui was stunned for a moment, and let out an angry roar, but still couldn't speak. He suddenly propped himself up and pounced on Yun Qingqing again.
Yun Qingqing raised her foot and kicked him back without hesitation.
Then he took out a talisman and stuck it on his body, and instantly disappeared from his sight.
As Yun Qingqing became invisible, the barrier also disappeared.
The two jailers heard the noise in the cell and hurried over to check. They saw Xiao Zirui crawling on the ground like a madman, hissing and roaring like a wild beast.
The jailer was shocked:
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Has Prince Rui gone mad... Is he pretending to get away with it?"
"What good will it do to pretend to be crazy when the crime of treason is so serious? It's better not to bother with it!"
The eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict and following behind the jailer was also startled:
"Oh my, what's going on? Has he been like this these past few days?"
The jailer quickly denied:
"No, no, he was fine just now. I don't know what happened and he suddenly went crazy..."
"Master, you want to convey your order. Do you need us to hold him down?"
When Xiao Zirui heard that the imperial edict was about to be delivered, he was shocked all over and immediately stopped growling. He stared at the bright yellow scroll in the eunuch's hand with hope in his eyes, and quickly got up and knelt to signal the eunuch to read it.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and quickly unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud:
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Prince Rui has committed treason, a crime unforgivable. He is hereby stripped of his title and demotion to the rank of commoner as a warning to others. At the end of the first month, he is to be brought to Caishikou, where he will be formally punished to uphold the laws of the land. This is my decree!"
Like a bolt from the blue, all the color drained from Xiao Zirui's face.
Demoted to a commoner!
After the first month of the lunar year, he will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded in public!
How can my father be so cruel? I am his son!
The eunuch looked at his disbelieving expression and snorted coldly:
"Criminal Xiao Zirui, when you plotted rebellion and ordered your archers to shoot arrows at the emperor, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"The Emperor has been so kind as to let you live for a few more days. It's already a blessing for you! Reflect on your actions in prison!"
Xiao Zirui's face turned pale and his heart was dead. Suddenly, Yun Qingqing's words rang in his ears again.
His lifeline couldn't even make it through the Lantern Festival, only until the tenth day...
Yun Qingqing is a celestial phoenix.
What she said never came to pass.
Xiao Zirui was speechless, but suddenly he opened his mouth and let out a "ho ho" laugh, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
What Yun Qingqing said couldn't always be accurate!
If he does nothing now and just waits to die, it is very likely that something will happen on the tenth day that will take his life before he is beheaded.
but!
Even if he can't survive, can't he choose to die early!
Isn't Yun Qingqing the most confident woman? He was determined to make her prediction come true this time!
Xiao Zirui suddenly stood up and slammed into the wall amid the screams of the jailer and the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict!
The two jailers reached out to pull him in horror, but his movements were too fast and the jailers didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Xiao Zirui's forehead hit the brick wall hard, and blood spurted out immediately. He gave a last triumphant smile.
That cruel woman caused me to lose everything.
This last time, she finally didn't get what she wanted, haha!
However.
There was only a loud crash.
Before Xiao Zirui fell down in dizziness, he suddenly saw that the wall brick he had just hit had disappeared completely, and there was a square hole in that place.
The jailer frantically held him down, wiping the blood and pinching his philtrum, but he managed to prevent him from completely passing out.
Xiao Zirui was confused and unwilling, his eyes were dazed. He wanted to struggle but found that his hands and feet were numb and he could hardly move.
The jailer's voice rang in my ears:
"Even though he's on death row, he still has to be executed according to the Emperor's order. If he were to die now, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"Hey, thank goodness that brick was loose. This condemned prisoner was pretty stubborn. He actually knocked the brick out directly."
The eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch looked at the two trembling jailers and sneered:
"What are you afraid of? He committed treason and deserves death! The emperor will only think that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment and will not implicate you."
The two jailers were relieved now. They threw Xiao Zirui into the corner, spat at him twice, and locked the cell door.
Xiao Zirui lay on the ground like a dead fish. Before he could feel unwilling, his body suddenly began to twitch.
Yun Qingqing witnessed all this while wearing an invisibility talisman. She curled her lips sarcastically, turned around and left without looking back.
This bastard probably never expected that because the bricks were loose, he not only failed to die quickly from the collision, but instead suffered blood clots in his brain, completely losing his ability to move.
For the remaining days, he could only lie like a pile of mud, waiting for his life to slip away.
She calculated it accurately.
If it’s the tenth day, then it’s the tenth day.
