The evil emperor is jealous

Chapter 694: The Princess Supervises the Execution
"Snapped!--"

The woman slapped Xiao Jue on the face: "Xiao Jue, you owe me this! You owe me!"

"I will destroy everything you care about! Destroy it!"

"Haha... Xiao Jue, just watch, watch how I destroy everything you care about, watch how I destroy the Liao Kingdom, and destroy the entire world!"

Xiao Jue's silence stimulated the woman, making her even crazier and more hateful.

"Xiao Jue, just wait to die in this prison! No one will save you!"

The woman smiled grimly, her scarlet eyes gleaming with cruelty, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave the cell, but she had only taken a few steps.

A hoarse voice came from the cell: "Wait..."

The woman paused slightly, her eyes trembling as she looked at him, as if expecting something.

"Why, you ask me?"

But she didn't hear the other party asking her for help, but heard a sentence: "...Yue'er, is she my daughter?"

Hearing this, the woman was stunned.

The deep and hoarse voice continued: "…Is she…”

"no!"

The woman denied it flatly, and seemed a little excited: "She is not!"

He clenched his fingertips on his sleeves and stared at Xiao Jue with cold eyes, mocking him sarcastically.

"What makes you think she could be your daughter? Are you worthy?"

"Aren't you suspicious too?"

"Before I die, I might as well tell you that Yue'er...is not the late emperor's posthumous daughter, but...Xiao Yan's daughter!"

The woman stared at Xiao Jue, provoking him with every word: "Why do you think he agreed to let Yue'er be the crown princess? It's because Yue'er is his daughter!"

"…Are you trying to say that I lied to you? Oh…Yes, I lied to you, but didn’t you also lie to me?"

The woman laughed happily: "...Xiao Jue, we are even now..."

The woman's laughter was hearty, but also ironic and sad...

As the woman walked away and was never seen again, the cell returned to its dark and dead silence.

With a muffled groan, dark red blood spurted out, staining the prisoner's uniform red.

……

Three days later, an imperial edict was issued to the Princess's Mansion.
Regent Xiao Jue plotted treason and usurped the throne, and cursed the emperor with witchcraft. The evidence was conclusive, and he was beheaded three days later, with the crown princess supervising the execution.

"Your Highness, please accept the order."

“…Your son accepts the order!” Di Ran, kneeling on the ground, took the imperial edict.

After sending away the messenger, Ji Yunxie walked to Di Ran, seemed to notice that something was wrong with her, and hugged her from behind with his arms around her waist.

"What's wrong, Yue?"

"Is there something difficult?"

"…fine."

Ji Yunxie pulled Di Ran into his arms. The height difference made Di Ran look particularly petite. He stroked her little head gently with a gentle voice.

"Ayue, you can tell me that we are husband and wife...aren't we?"

Di Ran was stunned for a moment, looked up, looked at the eyes that were full of her, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and hugged the man in front of her back.

"Yes, we are husband and wife."

……

……

The third day was up, and the criminal was identified and taken to the execution ground.

On the day of the execution, the sun was scorching hot and the execution ground was surrounded by onlookers.

The Summer Palace, the sleeping palace of the Liao emperor
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liao had just finished drinking his medicine and was leaning back on the dragon couch, looking sick and haggard.

"What time is it?"

The old eunuch who was serving beside him replied, "Your Majesty, it is already one quarter past noon."

Xiao Yan leaned back slightly, his eyelids slightly closed, and his dull voice seemed a little weak.

"Have you arranged the people?"

The old eunuch bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The execution ground is full of people inside and outside. If anyone robs the execution ground, they will never return."

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "It's not that I am worried, but the Regent has many followers, and it's hard to guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. If Xiao Jue escapes..."

"His Majesty…"

The old eunuch thought that His Majesty was worrying too much and was about to say something, but he saw His Majesty raise his hand slightly and swallowed the words back.

"The princess must be kept safe."

A cold and emotionless voice came.

"Yes!"

The old eunuch nodded.
