Chapter 009: Forced to Death, She Also Wants to Gamble
She was fortunate to achieve what she desired, yet she did not expect the royal family to be so untrustworthy, turning around and ordering her death.
Does it hurt
In this world, not everyone is so foolishly loyal as to die for the so-called loyalty between ruler and subject. Others may not know this, but Feng Qingchen certainly does.
In addition to being used for hanging, white silk has many other uses
She has become numb from the pain
What audacity!
At the moment she entered the palace, she understood that it would not be easy to walk out alive, which is why she dared to take action against Dongling Ziluo, hoping to save her own life
As she watched the jewel approach her step by step with a bloodthirsty smile, Feng Qingchen's fingers turned icy cold. She bit down hard on her own lip, her delicate pink lips becoming a bloody mess from the pressure of her teeth
Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank.
Feng Qingchen, hurry and leave the palace, find a tree to hang yourself. Perhaps the Empress will take pity on you and give you a straw mat, then throw you into the mass grave.
For a man, for a man of unparalleled nobility, this is intolerable
At this thought, Zhu Yu's lips curled into a cold smile
At this moment, Feng Qingchen was truly frightened and filled with hatred
This time, Feng Qingchen truly misunderstood Dongling Ziluo; Dongling Ziluo was genuinely unaware of the Empress's scheme. However, upon witnessing this scene within the palace, he had no intention of intervening to stop it.
She wants to take a gamble, betting that the queen will not directly say, "I decree that you shall be put to death."
As for this three-foot white silk
After today, will anyone still care about a person's innocence or guilt in this world
Amidst the interplay of jade and white, and in the midst of the astonished faces of the crowd, Feng Xuancheng turned around proudly and walked away
Zhu Yu knows that, in front of a large crowd, the poisoned wine was knocked down; this matter will eventually be known to Her Majesty the Empress.
You wish for your minister to die, and the minister has no choice but to die
Feng Qingchen, stop crying. In the last life, it was so difficult, yet you managed to get through it, didn't you? What does this little humiliation mean now?
When you meet the King of Hell, do not blame me; if you must blame someone, blame the Empress, or blame yourself for causing such a situation
Clearing her throat, Zhu Yu said with a proud expression: "His Highness, Prince Luo, said that Miss Feng is improper in her appearance and unclean in her conduct. The Empress has instructed Miss Feng to study the 'Lessons for Women' more thoroughly, and in the future, her actions must adhere to the principles outlined in the 'Lessons for Women'"
Feng Qingchen raised her head, blinked, and gazed at the overcast sky... She blinked back the tears in her eyes
Is your innocence valuable?
The shame that these people have imposed upon her today will eventually be repaid.
In her past life, if someone insulted her, she could retaliate; if someone hit her, she could strike back
With a graceful smile that blended elegance and charm, Feng Qingchen raised her head and asked calmly, "Does Your Majesty have any instructions?"
The red garment is so filthy, yet the white silk is pure and flawless
It truly feels as though one is regressing as one lives on
Feng Qingchen, you are truly naive
"The Lessons for Women"? I will watch it when I have time, but I believe that in this lifetime, I will never have the opportunity to see it
Feng Qingchen must die
However, all of this is painful, and at the critical moment of life and death, it is not worth mentioning
The eunuchs and palace maids secretly thought to themselves, the Empress's intentions are already so obvious, yet this Feng Qingchen still dares to...
Inside the palace, Dong Lingzi Luo watched as Feng Qingchen resolutely turned away, momentarily at a loss for whether to feel admiration or disdain; yet, his gaze could not help but linger on that figure clad in red and white.
Feng Qingchen finally relaxed her tightly clenched fist, and her pale face, which had lost quite a bit of blood, regained some color. She lowered her head to accept the white silk from the hands of the pearl and jade, saying, "Qingchen thanks Her Majesty the Empress for her guidance"
What is a ruler, and what is a subject
Hmph! The pearl arrogantly raised her head and said: "Feng Qingchen, you should know your place and not foolishly think you can contend with the heavens"
Such a woman is not worth his effort
Feng Qingchen seemed not to have noticed at all, quickly lowering her head and taking a deep breath to conceal all the emotions in her eyes
In this era where human life is as insignificant as grass, if the supreme empress of hetushu.com wishes her dead, she truly cannot survive
Hmph, how ridiculous
Nobility and high officials are not born of any particular lineage; this realm of Dongling was also seized from others. Having established the nation for less than a century, what right does such a ruler have to demand her death twice in a single day
She has already messed up one matter, and this one must not go wrong again
The Empress commands you to die at the third watch, and you must not let your life extend to the fifth watch
What a gentleman's promise, all are deceivers. In this world, how can there be so many coincidences? As soon as Donglingzi Luo entered the palace, the empress's poisoned wine and white silk were presented.
If you wish for my death, I have no choice but to die
The pearls and jade lowered their heads, gracefully picking up the white silk from the ground, and walked elegantly towards Feng Qingchen
With a bow, her bloodied forehead stained with ash, Feng Qingchen remained unfazed, gently wiping it away and rising gracefully
"Yes, my lady." Feng Qingchen replied in a good-natured manner
Feng Qingchen's existence serves as a reminder to him of the situation where he was threatened by a woman who was as weak as a chicken.
Only then did Feng Qingchen turn her body, transforming the white silk in her hand into a white shawl, which she draped over her shoulders, beautifully layering it with the red gauze she wore...
Ha ha ha ... ...
If you are destined to die, then it is better for you to die sooner rather than later, as it might save my life. Why not embrace this opportunity
Pain
As a doctor, she has witnessed the strange and the profound aspects of life and death, yet the more she encounters them, the more she yearns to live
This cup of poison, does this three-foot white silk not bear the brush of Dongling Ziluo
Wretched person
Feng Qingchen remained silent, quietly turning away
As a palace maid by the queen's side, Zhu Yu understands better than anyone how ruthless the queen's methods can be
There is no decree ordering my death, so why should I die
At the moment she took a step forward, Feng Qingchen relaxed her hands, and the twisted white silk in her grasp suddenly unfurled, revealing a piece of white cloth approximately half a meter wide before everyone.
Feng Qingchen, are you telling the world that you are innocent
The corners of her lips curled into a cold smile, as the poisoned wine lingered. How could the Empress have any words to convey? But now it is different; the poisoned wine is gone, and some matters must be clarified
Feng Qingchen would never believe it, no matter what.
It is perhaps for the best that Feng Qingchen has died like this
Only when Feng Qingchen is dead will the Empress Dowager possibly spare her life
Dong Lingzi Luo turned away arrogantly, leaving Feng Qingchen behind.
Without power or influence, and lacking protection, she has no capital for caprice in this world
Upon seeing Feng Qingchen unfurl the white silk, the crowd began to murmur in confusion, but in the next moment, they understood.
Time is still long; she, Feng Qingchen, will not be unfortunate for a lifetime
Zhu Yu handed the white silk in her hand to Feng Qingchen, and the pearl hairpin on her hairpin clinked back and forth due to this movement, producing a clear and melodious sound that alleviated the oppressive atmosphere slightly and helped Feng Qingchen regain her composure
"Why are you still lingering? This sacred palace is no place for filthy people like you to stay." Zhu Yu observed that Feng Qingchen seemed dazed, and her words became increasingly harsh.
"Feng Qingchen, this is a reward from Her Majesty the Empress"
What is this for
As the wind blew, the white silk on her body fluttered gracefully, and coupled with Feng Qingchen's carefree and bold stride, she appeared to possess a certain celestial demeanor
And in the next moment, they understood what it meant to have greater courage. Feng Qingchen, draped in white silk, knelt down in the direction of the Empress's palace and proclaimed loudly
The pain in her forehead is intense, the ache in her cheeks is severe, the injuries on her body hurt even more, penetrating to the bone, reaching deep into her heart, to the point where she feels like crying
In this single day, the insults she endured were more than those she faced in her entire previous life.
As stated in "Nü Jie," a woman who has lost her purity should not continue to live in this world; Zhu Yu believes this statement is sufficient for Feng Qingchen to come to a realization.
Now, it is not possible
As long as the queen does not explicitly state it, she can pretend not to understand, and everything can be discussed after leaving the palace. After all, she has already offended both the queen and Dongling Ziluo, so adding this matter is of no consequence.
The Empress, in her benevolence, has compassion for the light dust-covered garments that do not shield the body. She bestows upon the light dust a three-foot length of white silk to cover herself. Light dust expresses her gratitude and wishes the Empress a long life, a long life, and a long life again...
