279,—the thirtieth cannon fodder—(1/2)
The emperor did not expect that he just wanted Princess Zixia and Xiahou Guodong to meet one last time and end their relationship as husband and wife. However, he did not expect that Xiahou Guodong would use Zixia as a hostage to threaten her and leave.
In prison.
But they did not escape, but came to the palace. Not long after arriving at the palace, they also took Princess Caidie as a hostage, which was simply crazy.
"Xiahou Guodong, even if you kidnapped me, you are still guilty. Look at these layers of guards, you can't escape."
"Oh, I know your martial arts skills are great, so when I first came into contact with you, I inserted a silver needle into your acupuncture point. You don't feel any pain now, of course you won't feel any pain either.
I have no strength to resist, and even if I die, I will pull you to be my backer." Xiahou Guodong continued without fear of death.
In fact, he did not leave the capital immediately after escaping from the prison, but he did not think about escaping. His life will be handed down here in the next few days, but even if he dies, he will have to bring a few people to support him.
, the first is Tao Mi, followed by the Tenth Prince and Song Ci.
Taomi just showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She knew Xiahou Guodong's thoughts very well. Since you want to get some backers, then I will help you. But is this backer the one you want?
But there is no guarantee.
Xiahou Guodong took Taomi hostage all the way to the emperor's palace. The leading guard obviously got the emperor's order and did not stop Xiahou Guodong.
In the main hall, there was not only the emperor, but also the ten princes and Song Ci. It could be said that everyone Xiahou Guodong wanted to be present was there.
"Xiahou Guodong, if you are sensible, please let Princess Caidie go quickly, otherwise you will not blame me for being rude to you." The Tenth Prince watched Xiahou Guodong come in, the dagger in his hand was placed across Taomi's neck, and for a while
Of course, he was not afraid that Taomi would be in danger, he was afraid that Xiahou Guodong's death would be very ugly soon.
"Tenth Prince, we have known each other for so many years. Although my friendship with you, Xiahou Guodong, is not deep, I have not done anything to offend you. Why are you holding on to me so hard?"
"Xiahou Guodong, you are really hopeless. Don't you have any regrets until now?" The Tenth Prince shook his head, looking like a child who cannot be taught, "You have not offended me.
But you have offended the people of the world, and now it is not the king who cannot tolerate you, but the people of the world, and the national law cannot tolerate you, Xiahou Guodong."
"Don't say it so righteously. I'm sorry for the people of the world. What does it have to do with you? Besides, I didn't do those things at all. You just fabricated them to frame me. What are your intentions?" Xiahou Guodong shouted angrily.
, he did not admit at all that those things were his doing.
"That's enough, Xiahou Guodong, please let go of Princess Caidie quickly, I can give you a good time." Not wanting to see the quarrel between these people, the emperor who was in charge raised his voice and said.
"Your Majesty, don't you understand now? I could have escaped after escaping from prison, but I didn't escape. Instead, I came to the palace just to ask the Emperor to tell me the truth. Your Majesty, you have been deceived by the villain.
Know yourself."
Xia Hou Guodong burst into tears when she spoke. People who didn't know it really thought she had been wronged. The emperor pinched his brows a little irritably, "Then tell me, how did the Tenth Emperor slander you? He slandered you.
What is the purpose? How do you explain those conclusive evidences? As long as you have an explanation, I can absolve you of all guilt."
Xiahou Guodong looked at the Tenth Prince, "I don't know why he slandered me, but I know that he just slandered me. As for the so-called evidence, the emperor can make it very clear with just one investigation."
"Song Ci has already performed an autopsy on the corpse that was brought out of your pharmacy. It is true that he died of poisoning, and you also prepared an antidote. Do you want to say that these are all patients who came to you for treatment?"
"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."
"Song Ci also saw a mark on the right shoulder of the corpses and determined that it was the mark of a killer organization in the world. Their killers left that mark on their shoulders. So many killers got sick at the same time and came to you. Do you want to see a doctor?" The Tenth Prince has never seen such a shameless person, and he actually had the nerve to say that.
"Can't the mark be added later, Tenth Prince?" Xiahou Guodong retorted calmly.
At this time, Song Ci took two steps forward and raised his fist to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, whether those marks were imprinted during life or after death, it is easy to identify. Not only ministers, but also any official or even a doctor can tell It can be seen that there is no way to deny this."
"Your Majesty, when I treated those people, they were all wearing clothes, so I didn't see whether there were marks on their shoulders."
"Huh, Xiahou Guodong, you are so quick to retract your confession." The Tenth Prince said with a cold snort.
Xia Hou Guodong also snorted coldly, "Tenth Prince, don't hold on to my words. Those people had no skin injuries when they came, and I didn't untie their clothes. How could I know if there were marks on their shoulders?" "
"Even if those people were killed by you, why didn't you send them to Yizhuang instead of keeping them in your pharmacy?"
"That's because I want to use their corpses for experiments. They agreed with me before they died. They have been killers all their lives and have harmed countless people. They want to do something for the people after their death, so I didn't use their corpses. Send it to Yizhuang."
Xiahou Guodong answered the questions raised by Song Ci and the Tenth Prince, as if he was the most innocent person in this matter.
The emperor looked at Princess Zixia and said, "Zixia, why are you doing this? Xiahou Guodong's crime is irredeemable. Are you going to spend the rest of your life for him?"
"Your Majesty, if you insist that Guodong is guilty, then Zixia has nothing to do. But no matter what, Zixia is always sad about the person beside her. Everyone in the world will lie to me, but the person beside me can't. Yes." Princess Zixia said in a very firm tone, not only because she married her husband, but also because this is the person she loves most. She cannot accept that he deceived her, and she cannot bear it.
However, it was her determination that made Xiahou Guodong stunned. However, in his stunned effort, Taomi bent down and broke away from Xiahou Guodong's shackles.
Xiahou Guodong's reaction was not slow, and he immediately attacked Taomi. Taomi dodged again, and with a palm, Xiahou Guodong immediately came to the end. The guards immediately stepped forward, and Xiahou Guodong became a prisoner again.
The Tenth Prince walked up to Xiahou Guodong and said helplessly, "It's not like you haven't seen Princess Caidie's ability before. Why are you so stupid to get close to her? It's good now, you should be caught."
"You... you people, deliberately framed me." Xiahou Guodong was arrested but still refused to give up and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wronged. Song Ci's wife is the righteous daughter of the Tenth Prince. Naturally, Song Ci is facing
It belongs to the Tenth Prince, Emperor Song Ci cannot be trusted, the Tenth Prince has the intention of treason."
Xiahou Guodong was now talking incoherently, like a mad dog, attacking people when he saw him. The Tenth Prince was unmoved. Song Ci once again held his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's wife is indeed the adopted daughter of the Tenth Prince, but this
There are reasons for all of them, and I will inform the emperor one by one in the future."
"And even if the accusations against Xiahou Guodong mentioned before are not established, it is an iron-clad fact that he has corpse-turning water. Weichen also sprinkled it in the bedrooms of Princess Zixia and Xiahou Guodong.
Jealousy, blood stains immediately appeared, showing that someone had indeed died in their room."
"Xiahou Guodong, how do you explain that someone has died in your room, and living in a room where people have died, aren't you and your wife afraid of those resentful ghosts coming to you in the middle of the night to demand your lives?" The Tenth Prince is still very concerned about scaring people.
The one who was good at it immediately said sadly.
Xiahou Guodong did not refute, obviously acquiescing to this fact. The emperor did not want to watch this farce anymore. "Come here, take Xiahou Guodong down and put him in a prison. The guards will take turns guarding him for twelve hours. Don't do it."
Let him die, and if he escapes again, none of you will be able to escape."
"I humbly accept my order." The guards took Xiahou Guodong down. This time he did not resist at all.
"As for Zixia, I understand your painstaking efforts and will not hold you accountable for helping Xiahou Guodong escape from prison, nor will I hold you accountable for knowing about the corpse-turning water. However, Princess, you can no longer do it, taking the child with you.
Move out of Junma Mansion today."
Zixia collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face. Although she was mentally prepared before, those things might be true, but Xiahou Guodong told her that those things were wronged by others, and she believed them without any doubt. Now those things before
They used irrefutable evidence to kill Xiahou Guodong.
Xiahou Guodong deserved what he deserved, and this time the emperor was determined to punish him for all his crimes, so he was not in a hurry to behead him. After the things that happened a few years ago were found out, and Song Ci also found out, Ma Ma
The death of the old general was not due to poisoning at all, but because of the silver needle used by Xiahou Guodong.
Several pieces of evidence were needed to be punished. When everything became clear a month later, the emperor announced his guilt to the world. Those who were saved by Xiahou Guodong's medical skills were no longer grateful to him, but full of satisfaction.
They are full of hatred because their family members lost their lives during that epidemic.
At the same time, Chen Ming, the owner of a porridge restaurant in a small town, was also called Uncle Ming. He had been here for five years and no one knew about his past. It was as if he was a person without a past.
The emperor's decree was announced to the world, and he naturally knew it. Although he wanted to wash away his grievances for so many years, now that Xiahou Guodong is dead, the cause of General Ma's death is finally clear. He knows that it was not because of him.
If General Zima died of illness, he would be relieved.
From now on, he will be the most ordinary person, a person with no past but a future.
"Uncle Ming, there is a lot of beef in the beef porridge today. Are you happy?"
Chen Ming laughed and said, "How can I be happy? It's just because the weather is nice today. If the weather is nice, I will be happy if customers come to visit my shop."
In the Prince's Mansion in the capital, Tang Si walked around anxiously in the room. Song Ci sighed helplessly. He couldn't count how many times he sighed.
"Madam, can't you sit down? The Tenth Prince said everything will be fine, and you said you didn't care before. Why are you so nervous now?"
Tang Si sat down and drank all the tea in the cup in one breath. "Am I nervous? I am anxious. You said that these ten princes are too unreliable. Master's birthday is coming soon."
, it’s time for us to leave, he still insists on telling the emperor about my life experience, and he can’t leave until he does.”
"The Tenth Prince is also kind-hearted. Didn't you say that your mother pointed to the Jade Rabbit before she died? Maybe she just hoped that you could recognize your ancestor and return to the clan."
Tang Si curled her lips, "Recognize my ancestors and return to my clan? When she was alive, Prince Kang didn't allow me to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan. She was just worried that I wouldn't be able to live after she died. Now I have a big brother and a sister-in-law."
, with you, master, and friends like Nie Feng and Song Yi, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan.”
"By the way Caidi, don't you know martial arts? Why don't you use martial arts to take us out?" Tang Si looked at Taomi who had been silent for the whole time.
Taomi put down her water glass and smiled, "It's okay for me to take you out, but Song Ci is so fat that I can't take her out."
"Ah ah ah... I want to be free, I want to go out, I don't want to be trapped here." Tang Si wailed, and at the same time looked at Song Ci, "How about you stay here for now, I'll leave first.
How about it?"
"Madam, you and I are husband and wife, how can we leave each other alone and be happy? I don't care, you can't even think of leaving if I can't leave." After saying this, Song Ci ignored Tang Si's resistance and directly held her in his arms.
He was afraid that if she relied on Taomi and let Taomi take her away, he would have no wife.
Taomi stood up and straightened her wrinkles, "I'm leaving now. My parents should be worried after being out for a few months. Cai Die is waiting for you in Taoyuan County."
"Hey, Cai Die, Cai Die, Cai Die, wait for me, Lan Cai Die, wait for me, Song Ci, please let me go, do you hear me?"
"did not hear it."
"If you don't let me go, don't blame me for being rude. Don't blame me if you get hurt."
"I won't let go until I die. Oh, it hurts so much. Tang Si, you murdered your own husband."
"Does it really hurt? I didn't exert any strength?"
Taomi walked further and further, and the words behind her could no longer be heard. Life is short. It is not easy to meet someone who loves you and whom you love too. It is even more difficult to overcome all kinds of external difficulties and get married.
Tang Si and Song Ci, their love has gone through ups and downs and finally achieved fruition.
They are happy, but there are so many people in this world who cannot get happiness. All the people in the world can do is cherish what they have in front of them, and everything else is in vain.
