Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 10 Blood Splattered Palace Majesty

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no snow, and the wind blew on my face like a knife.

Lan Zhen was tied up and brought in front of the emperor. He stood up in shock, looked at Lan Zhen and then at the prime minister.

Xinyi was also terrified, how could it be Lan Zhen?

Lan Zhen knelt in front of the emperor, her official hat was gone, her hair was hanging down messily, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding.She stared at the emperor expressionlessly and remained silent. He also stared at Lan Zhen, unable to utter a word.

"Your Majesty, the sinner Lan Zhen, relying on His Majesty's trust, even wrote an imperial edict to frame the old minister privately, and joined forces with his father and other sinners to summon the people of the world to kill the old minister. If the old minister does not get rid of such rebellious people today, it will be a disappointment to His Majesty." Your grace!" The prime minister stared at the emperor firmly, his gaze piercing him like a knife and arrow.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, did you, did you make a mistake, no—" the emperor hesitated.

"How can the old minister make a mistake?" The prime minister interrupted the emperor, "Or, does your majesty also think that the old minister is a traitor?"

The emperor opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, he just stared at the prime minister and clenched his hands even tighter.

"Bah," Lan Zhen stood up and spit at the prime minister, and said angrily, "Yang Dezhang, you are a traitor, you bully the king and stir up chaos in the court, everyone gets to punish you—"

Before she finished speaking, Lan Zhen was pushed to the ground by the soldiers behind her. They pulled out their leather whips and whipped her heavily. She gritted her teeth and kept cursing the prime minister.

Xinyi didn't expect that Lan Zhen, who was usually weak and proud, would be so arrogant, she couldn't help crying.

"Stop!" She heard someone shout, and when she looked up, it turned out to be him.

He quickly ran to Lan Zhen's side and hugged her. The soldier didn't dare to smoke any more, and stared blankly at the prime minister.

Lan Zhen just looked at him and smiled wryly, without saying a word.

He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, this is a rebellion against the party, and I have made a list of the rebellion. I have already listed the list of the rebellion party, and I request your Majesty to issue an order!" The prime minister took out a memorial form from his sleeve.

Ming Xuanyu stood up tremblingly, staring at the prime minister angrily.

The prime minister seemed to ignore the emperor's anger, but said coldly: "I implore your Majesty to make an order early!"

Ming Xuanyu closed his eyes, and the four people dragged out of the prison car faltered and yelled at him with their mouths open. It turned out that their tongues had been cut off and they were unable to speak.He looked at the four people, one of them was Lan Zhen's father, and the other three, although they could not be identified clearly, he already knew who they were.

"Your Majesty, please execute these four people first, and the rest, I have already been arrested in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When Your Majesty's order comes down, I will ask you to behead them together!" The four dragged them to the square in front of the hall and beheaded them.

Lan Zhen cried and called her father there, and the people kneeling below were all trembling and afraid to speak.

Soon, the faltering voices of those four people could no longer be heard, and blood spurted out, only four human heads rolled down on the stone bricks.

The emperor stood there, just closed his eyes and looked up to the sky without saying a word.

"Sinner Lan Zhen, behead!" The prime minister's voice was colder than the north wind.

The emperor and Xinyi both stared at Lan Zhen. After Lan Zhen listened, she looked up to the sky with a long smile, slowly got up, and scolded the prime minister: "Yang Dezhang, the law of heaven is clear. Lan Zhen dies today, and tomorrow, the righteous men of the world will take yours." Dog life, avenge those loyal souls who died in vain under your sword!"

Just as the soldier was about to grab Lan Zhen, Lan Zhen said angrily, "I'll go by myself!"

She walked past Ming Xuanyu, smiled at him, walked down the steps slowly without saying anything.

Xinyi saw Lan Zhen smiling all the time, although she didn't think Lan Zhen was a peerless beauty before, but now, Xinyi thinks Lan Zhen is really beautiful!Although she didn't know what Lan Zhen had done, she felt that Lan Zhen was not only a talented woman, but also a strong woman when she died with a smile on her face!

Looking at Ming Xuanyu again, he just took a step to hold Lan Zhen, but he saw the prime minister's eyes, he didn't dare to move anymore, and turned his back.

Xinyi began to curse in her heart: Ming Xuanyu, you are too cowardly!After all, Lan Zhen is the person you like. You are indifferent to her death. Are you a man?
Lan Zhen walked towards the steps, and bumped her head against the stone lion under the steps, and the palace people below screamed.Ming Xuanyu ran to Lan Zhen, just hugged her and said nothing.Lan Zhen opened her eyes and looked at the sky, the gloomy sky was filled with heavy snow, falling on her cheeks.I don't know if it was her tears or the snowflakes melted into water, but the corners of her eyes were shining brightly.

He raised his head and stared at the prime minister, but the prime minister didn't say a word. He just called Zhou Ming, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ordered him to find out who the palace servants of Qianqing Palace were Lan Zhen's accomplices. Xinyi suddenly felt that disaster had fallen from the sky!

Xinyi raised her head and glanced at Yang Dezhang. She kept shivering, her scalp was numb, and she quickly lowered her head.
