Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"It was the law that judged him to die. But who was to die?"

After asking this question, Pei Yuanzhang didn't talk anymore, but stood in front of me, staring at me with a burning look, as if to see a hole in my body, and I was seen in that heart There was a panic. Although I knew the answer to this question for a long time, I couldn't explain it at this moment.

The two of them were facing each other for a long time without waiting for my answer. Pei Yuanzhang smiled at last.

He said, "Well, let me answer you."

"..."

"It was the law that judged him to die, it was him! If the first law of the law was not the death of the killer, he would not have made such a judgment; if he had not acknowledged himself in the presence of everyone, he would have killed him The murderer of Princess An Guo is even more unlikely to make such a judgment! "

"..."

"But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the people who want him to die are the king Hou Gongqing who watched this murder with his own eyes and heard him confess his sins!"

"..."

"And who are those who are behind Wang Gongqing--" he said, looking at me like a knife: "Do you know."

Although this sentence is a question, he is not asking.

This question does not require anyone to answer at all!

Pei Yuanzhang looked at my shameless face, sighed for a long time, and turned around again.

He said in a deep voice: "The leisurely mouth of the world is not so blocked; the event of that year cannot be reproduced!"

I just felt that my chest was punched heavily. The dull pain made me almost stand still. I stepped back for two steps. Then I wrapped around the bead curtain on the door behind me. The sound made Pei Yuanzhang look back at me, but looked at me with a look of helplessness, his eyes flashed, and he came to me and reached out to me, as if trying to catch me, But reaching into the air, he stopped again.

Because he saw me take a step back.

That hand froze in front of me.

I looked at that hand, the fingers were long and strong, but I didn't grasp anything, but just stiffened a little bit, and finally, it slowly dropped down again.

At this moment, both people were silent, and I knew what he meant.

Mo Tieyi, a few of them, even if they rebelled against the court and assassinated officials, they were only small figures. Their life and death were only taken care of by Liu Li's insistence on revenge for his brother; but this time, Liu Qinghan's life and death were too much involved People, too many things, will never be like Mo Tieyi and they can just fool with a death sentence.

Otherwise, Pei Yuanzhang lost faith with those Wang Gongqing, and they would have reason to counter his!

This is a dead end!

I raised my head and looked at him: "Is it necessary for your emperor to kill him?"

"..." Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "It is not necessary to kill him."

"..."

"But hey, you must sentence him to death!"

"...!"

I was silent and almost desperate to hear him say these words, but after a moment of silence, my heart suddenly moved--

What did he just say? !!

I looked up at him, but saw that Pei Yuanzhang no longer looked at me, but turned back slightly, facing me with his back.

However, my ear still echoed the sentence he just said.

"But hey, you must sentence him to death!"

Not necessarily death, but the death penalty!

Although these two sentences seem to have the same result, the meanings are not the same. It can even be said that they are quite different!

I suddenly choked on my breath, and looked at him in surprise: "Your Majesty!"

"..." Pei Yuanzhang stood still.

My heart was beating suddenly, the ears on both sides were buzzing, and I could hardly hear my own voice. I could only make my voice lower by instinct, and whispered: "If, Give him a hint of life ... "

"Huh," Pei Yuanzhang said coldly, "but some people don't think so."

"..."

"Those people are not so confused."

"..."

"Well, although you don't want to watch him die, you can't watch the situation chaos because of him!"

I immediately bit my lower lip.

"Those people" are not so foolish. It is impossible for them to disguise themselves as Liu Qinghan with a prisoner of death, as they did for Mo Tieyi in the past. Take it easy. Once the situation deteriorates, not only Liu Qinghan's life is not guaranteed, Pei Yuanzhang's painstaking desire for stability will also be broken by those with ulterior motives.

It is also under such a balance of pros and cons that he will make a decision to sentence Liu Qinghan to beheading!

Thinking of this, he and I were silent.

The study was very quiet, probably because he had already ordered it. I could not even hear anyone walking around in the courtyard. Only a light wind blew into this almost solidified room and lifted the incense burner up. A ray of green smoke rolled up and diffused.

Silence, under such circumstances, became more cautious.

My hand hidden in the sleeve was still just holding the piece of death-free jade.

The cold sweat made the jade brand slippery. If I did n’t use it, it would almost become unstable. My ten fingers firmly tightened the delicate patterns on the jade brand. I do n’t know how deep it has been burned on the skin. trace.

Then, at this time, I spoke--

"If," these people "can't afford to offend, or say, the forces that want to win over?"

Pei Yuanzhang's shoulder twitched slightly.

I looked up at him and said, "If such forces act, they will not be able to make trouble anymore and the situation will not worsen."

"..."

"What if it is such a force?"

As I said, I clenched the jade card even harder, only to feel that my breathing was cramped, and the violent heartbeat in my chest made my whole body a little tight.

At this time, Pei Yuanzhang slowly turned around.

His face was still pale, and his expression was still tired, but there was a little light shining in those blood-red eyes, which made him look sharp as if he were going to scabbard.

"You want to use 'them'?"

I bit my lower lip and nodded slightly.

"Then you know what the result was?"

"..."

"Liu Qinghan will no longer be a courtier of the court."

My heart sank.

Pei Yuanzhang faced and continued, "The one who saved him is the enemy of the court!"

"..."

"Do you know what this means?"

I was silent for a long time and nodded heavily.

This means that everything they have worked hard to build and the cause they are fighting for will, to some extent, be ruined.
