Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 274
Even though she could only stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace, Huo Mingzhu got up early and had nothing to do, so she sat in front of the desk, set up chess pieces, and played against herself. Nanny Feng handed tea and pastries back and forth, In the end, he stood by her side without saying a word.

Huo Mingzhu didn't plan to have anything to say to her, for the person who came to monitor her, Huo Mingzhu didn't call her out, but just wanted a little quiet time.

When the chess board was half full, there was a sound of the emperor coming, and Nanny Feng hurried to the door and knelt down, but Huo Mingzhu didn't seem to hear half of it, she didn't raise her eyes, and continued to play quietly.

After Baili Jingqi came in, he saw the scene of Huo Mingzhu playing chess with himself in a contented manner. The expression on his face did not change, and he went straight to Huo Mingzhu. He picked up a piece of black chess and placed it on the board.

Huo Mingzhu's hand that was about to pinch the black ball paused, then retracted, seeing that Baili Jingqi had already placed the black ball, she continued to play her white ball, but instead of continuing to remain silent, she said: "The emperor came to Ai's house Come here, I'm afraid I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do."

"Queen Mother, what if I said I just came to see you?" Baili Jingqi didn't look at Huo Mingzhu, but stared at the chessboard, as if his whole body and mind were playing chess seriously.

Huo Mingzhu was neither angry nor happy when she heard the words, and said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Ai family."

"I'm still thinking that locking up the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, I'm afraid it will bore the Empress Dowager to death. Now it seems that I'm worrying too much." When Baili Jingqi said these words, his tone was blunt, making people listen, But I think he is angry.

Huo Mingzhu heard that Baili Jingqi's tone was bad, but she didn't have the heart to coax him, he was angry?Isn't she the one who should be angry?

"It's a day outside, and it's a day in this palace. Going out is just to see more flowers, trees, and people. Maybe you can see faces that you don't want to see. Staying here now makes you feel more comfortable. Be happy." Huo Mingzhu is not the kind of competitive person by nature.

In the past, she just thought about getting along with her beloved day and night, respecting each other, and growing old together. However, after so many things, she understood something. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. Take things seriously and you lose.

These thoughts were penetrated by Huo Mingzhu after reading the Bailizong Law.

Enemies, lovers, what is right and what is wrong, they are all entangled, going round and round, I have been so cruel in this life to the enemy of the previous life, maybe I will let the enemy of this life take revenge in the next life .

In the wrong time and space, Huo Mingzhu couldn't tell whether it was right or wrong, just like Baili Jingqi, the reason why he locked her up like this, although Huo Mingzhu didn't understand, he also knew that he had his reasons, And what she has to do is to make her life better and simpler.

Baili Jingqi heard Huo Mingzhu's words, and immediately looked at Huo Mingzhu with wide eyes. This piercing words made Baili Jingqi stare at Huo Mingzhu in disbelief.

Huo Mingzhu had already dropped the white stone, and he didn't wait for Baili Jingqi to drop the black stone for a long time. He thought that Baili Jingqi didn't want to fall any more, so he leaned over and put his hand into the box with the black stone, which was placed in the white box. In front of Li Jingqi.

Huo Mingzhu didn't hold Heizi in his hand, but was caught by Baili Jingqi. Huo Mingzhu raised his head and met a pair of angry eyes. The anger was aimed at her.

Huo Mingzhu really wanted to sigh, she didn't even think about what to do, but followed Baili Jingqi's wishes and stayed here obediently, what else would he do?
"You actually think so, do you still want to enter the monastery if you can?" Baili Jingqi's anger caused the strength in his hand to deepen, causing Huo Mingzhu's hand to ache.

"Your Majesty, why are you angry?" Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi. He was the biggest winner. He sat on the throne, took down Baili Zonglu, and imprisoned her here. Angry, she is confused.

"You actually asked me why I was angry? Ah Jin, could it be that you are annoyed by me in your heart? You originally wanted to share the country with Baili Zonglu, but it was because of my obstruction that you lost what you wanted. That's why you did this." What does it look like?" The more Baili Jingqi thought about it, the angrier he became, Huo Mingzhu shouldn't have such a disillusioned look.

If she really hated Baili Zonglu, then she should have told him that she was going to execute Baili Zonglu herself, but it wasn't after seeing Baili Zonglu that she appeared like this, which made him feel angry. Can't help jumping up.

Huo Mingzhu saw that Baili Jingqi was really angry, and her intentions were getting more and more intense. She couldn't help thinking, what is Baili Jingqi angry about?In this matter, Huo Mingzhu never imagined how uncomfortable her attitude would be for Baili Jingqi who loves her so much.

Cao An didn't want to say anything at first, but the time is coming, the emperor was going to take the queen mother to the execution ground to watch the execution, but after these few words, Long Yan was furious, it seems that he has forgotten his original intention at this moment Therefore, he is the only one who reminds me of his words as a slave, but I don't know if such a statement will make the angry emperor pick off his head.

Thinking of this, Cao An dawdled for a while, walked up to Baili Jingqi's ear and whispered it, then quickly pushed aside, lowered his head and waited for Baili Jingqi's decision.

Huo Mingzhu didn't expect Baili Jingqi to say that. Ever since Baili Jingqi showed his true colors, Huo Mingzhu felt very puzzled by his thoughts. Of course, she would not refute, because such Baili Jingqi, Huo Mingzhu felt that it was much more difficult than Baili Zonglu.

At best, Baili Zonglu is playing tricks secretly, and on the surface he has always been very humble and polite, but Baili Jingqi is different. In addition, she is familiar with everything about Baili Zonglu, but she has no clue about Baili Jingqi. Moreover, his thoughts sometimes made Huo Mingzhu feel confused when he saw them, so he simply didn't try to guess Baili Jingqi's thoughts.

However, if Baili Jingqi said such things, if she remained silent, Baili Jingqi would take her as the acquiescence, and what she would do at that time was beyond Huo Mingzhu's expectation, so Huo Mingzhu sighed Said: "Your Majesty, the Ai family is already your prisoner, but you just want to live a more comfortable life. Why is it like this in your mouth?"

Huo Mingzhu didn't say no or yes, just said a few words, and then stopped talking.She believed in Baili Jingqi's intelligence, and she could hear that she was also annoyed at him for speaking like this.

It wasn't his misunderstanding, but because he tied her and Baili Zonglu together as the same kind of person, and she felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

When Baili Jingqi heard Huo Mingzhu's words, he was silent for a long time, and Huo Mingzhu just pretended not to see the searching eyes.

Baili Jingqi watched Huo Mingzhu for a long time, and Cao An's words also reminded him of something. He intended to come here to take Huo Mingzhu out to watch the execution, but Huo Mingzhu was dragged so far away, and she even asked her to leave in a few words. His anger was aroused, he had known for a long time that Huo Mingzhu was his demon, and now it just confirmed this point even more.

In Baili Jingqi's silence, his expression was unpredictable, Huo Mingzhu had been looking at him for a long time, but he still hadn't spoken, so Huo Mingzhu said: "Your Majesty, you came here today, I'm afraid it's not just to talk to the Ai family. right?"

Baili Jingqi came back to his senses and said to Huo Mingzhu: "I have specially come here to invite the Queen Mother to go to the execution ground to watch the beheading punishment of the rebel Baili Zonglu."

Huo Mingzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, she was locked up in this Palace of Compassion and Ning all day, and Su Yu was not in the palace, if she came to accompany her in the palace, Baili Jingqi would send someone to directly connect her from Fangfu. The palace, the things in the palace, Sulu is not very clear, besides, she has become Mrs. Fang now, she can't talk about the things in the Fang mansion, how can she talk about the things in the palace with Huo Mingzhu.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu became a bird in a cage, not knowing what was going on outside.

Now that Baili Jingqi said that he would behead Baili Zonglu to show the public, Huo Mingzhu would be taken aback for a moment.

"In that case, let's go." Huo Mingzhu threw the chess piece in his hand into the box, and stood up with the support of Nanny Feng.

Baili Jingqi glanced at Huo Mingzhu, and without saying a word, he led Cao An to the door.

When Huo Mingzhu came to the execution ground, even though she was sitting in the sedan chair, she felt extremely tired, probably because she hadn't come out for a long time, so her bones were loose, and she felt very uncomfortable when the sedan chair bumped twice.

The execution ground is already crowded with people. These people are all the people in the capital city, many of them are street vendors, and some merchants simply closed their shops. Let’s watch the excitement first. You know, beheading a prince is rare in a hundred years. , and this prince is still a great hero.

However, because of seeking to usurp the throne and ended up like this, there are people who lament the fall of this generation of heroes, and there are people who feel relieved that Baili Zonglu has dared to commit such crimes and cannot escape the end of being beheaded in the end, and some The ladies who had no more affection for Baili Zonglu couldn't help crying.

The people present, apart from the guards on duty and Baili Zonglu himself, the onlookers were all talking and pointing at Baili Zonglu. Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Zonglu's kneeling body from a distance, Seeing in a daze the Baili Zonglu who picked off her whole body like a demon in the previous life and gouged out her eyes, her heart was quickly occupied by hatred, and she wished to go up immediately and send Baili Zonglu to hell with her own hands.

"Empress Dowager, this way please." Cao An's voice pulled Huo Mingzhu back to her senses, she glanced at Baili Jingqi, and saw Baili Jingqi staring at her without blinking, those dark eyes some explorations.

After seeing it, Huo Mingzhu didn't want to look any more, turned around and walked towards the location Cao An said, and sat on it.

She really wanted to laugh, just now in the Compassionate Ning Palace she still felt full of peace, but when she saw Baili Zonglu, the tumbling hatred made her instantly full of hostility.

She comforted herself, don't be impatient, and she will see Baili Zonglu's decapitated body later.

As the empress dowager and the emperor, appearing here is just to observe the execution. The real executioner is Master Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. After he glanced at Baili Jingqi, he stood up, opened an imperial decree, and read it according to the above content. again.

Regarding the sentencing and punishment of Baili Zonglu's crime of treason, there is a lot of eloquence, and the last three words are decisive!

The executioners stood on the left and right, holding a big knife in their hands. When they saw Mr. Zhou throwing a token on the ground, one of the executioners pressed Baili Zonglu down and pushed his hair away, and the other The executioner had already cleaned the broadsword, and it was already held high at this time.

With such a hand, after the knife falls, there will be no such person as Baili Zonglu in this world. Huo Mingzhu unconsciously held his breath and watched, looking forward to it.
