After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Beijin Palace, Chonghua Hall.

There is a square table in front of the hall, with spiritual tablets arched on it. There is a brazier in front of it, and the fire is bright in the pot, and paper money is burning.

Yan Mu was pushed in from the palace gate, and he could hear crying one after another from a distance, sad and depressing, all in one continuous sound.

"Xuan'er! Come back and see your mother and concubine!"

This cry was so shrill that it immediately overwhelmed the other sounds.

"God, you are so cruel, you have separated our mother and son from each other!"

"My son is dead, I would rather die than live!"

When he got closer, Yan Mu saw the maids and eunuchs of Chonghua Palace kneeling on both sides, each one bending down and crying softly. Concubine Xiao, on the other hand, was wearing a crimson dress, exquisite and bright. After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped her tears and wiped them away as if she had forgotten something. Then he picked up the spiritual tablet and wiped it carefully and lovingly.

"Why are you crying? Today is my Xuan'er's birthday. It's a happy day. You guys make me smile!"

So these palace maids and eunuchs, after being stunned for a moment, started laughing again, but their laughter was forced and awkward.

Concubine Xiao was not satisfied and made them laugh loudly.

"If anyone smiles badly, I will ask him to go down and apologize to my son!"

At this time, these palace maids and eunuchs were frightened. They laughed loudly, stretched their necks, and laughed forward and back. This scene is really weird at night.

Concubine Xiao was originally the most beloved concubine of the Northern Jin Emperor, but after the death of her only son, the third prince, she went crazy.

Yan Mu was pushed up, and when Concubine Xiao saw him, her eyes were like a poisonous snake, dark and sharp, sending chills down one's spine.

"My son is dead, but you are still alive!" She said this through gritted teeth, then her expression relaxed and she stroked the spiritual tablet in her arms, "That's fine, if he kills you once, my mother-in-law will let him die thousands of times. Every time, the pain is thousands of times greater than what you suffered.”

Concubine Xiao carefully placed the spirit tablets and then winked at the guards behind Yan Mu.

A guard stepped forward and kicked Yan Mu in the hollow of his knees, causing him to kneel on the ground like a sinner in front of the spiritual tablet of the third prince of Northern Jin, Leng Yuxuan.

When he cut off this man's head, he brought great prosperity to the country and the people of the world, but at this time, he had no one to rely on behind him.

He was not afraid then on the battlefield, and he is not afraid now either.

Life or death is no longer important.

The guard pressed his head and made him knock it hard to the ground. Once, twice and three times, he kowtowed three times to the enemy prince whose head he had personally beheaded.

Concubine Xiao raised her head and laughed a few times. She grabbed a handful and threw it into the brazier.

"Xuan'er, you saw it. He is kneeling in front of you and kowtows to apologize! But we, mother and son, have to thank one person, and that is Princess Heshuo. She said she would bring Yan Mu to me and your father. In front of us, she did it at our disposal."

Concubine Xiao became even happier as she spoke, laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. She pointed at Yan Mu, "This man has suffered retribution. He was abandoned by the country and people he fought to protect. He was abandoned by his father. He He was framed by his biological mother and delivered to us. Haha, no one in the world has a heart for him, God must hate him extremely."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes. These words could no longer make any waves in his heart. His heart would not hurt, tears would not flow, and there would be no resentment, hatred or self-pity.

Chongming's poison relieved him.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Concubine Xiao suddenly stared at Yan Mu and asked.

Seeing that his face was expressionless and indifferent, she suddenly became angry.

"Someone, take him to the water prison!"

Concubine Xiao had been thinking hard about how to torture Yan Mu. She wanted to make him afraid and regretful, so she thought of the water prison. The water prison was built in her Chonghua Palace. The emperor turned a blind eye and ignored it, and the queen even less cared about it.

The water prison was very humid and cold. As soon as Yan Mu entered the door, a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and he was already shivering from the cold. Despite this, there was still no expression on his face.

The stench in the water prison is unbearable because there is a corpse pool here.

Yan Mu was pushed to the pond, and suddenly he saw a corpse inside. The corpse's bones and flesh had been eroded, and there were many snakes and rats crawling on it, and they were gnawing.

There were several white bones beside them, the flesh and blood on their bodies had been eaten clean.

Yan Mu felt his hair tingle and retreated in disgust, but was pushed back by two guards.

"Are you afraid?" Concubine Xiao asked happily.

Yan Mu's eyes straightened, and the momentary fluctuation of emotions caused him to fall into a kind of empty state. His body was stiff, his mind was blank, and he was unable to make any emotional response.

This was the poison that Chongming had given him. At this moment, he was like a piece of wood, without joy, anger, or fear.

"Hang him up by his hands!" Concubine Xiao roared angrily.

Yan Mu's hands were tied and he was hung on the corpse pool through an iron hook. Under the angry gaze of Concubine Xiao, his body became lower and lower, and he was about to be immersed in the pool soon.

At this movement, the snakes and rats had already crawled back into the rancid water, but soon stretched out their necks, staring at him one by one, even ready to pounce on him and bite him.

Yan Mu's body was twitching. This was an instinctive behavior that was not controlled by his brain.

Concubine Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she became more and more excited: "Xuan'er, have you seen it? This is your birthday gift from your mother. Do you like it?"

The toes were wet, then the calves, thighs, to the waist, then the upper body, all the way to the neck.

When the rope stopped, countless snakes and rats swarmed up.

Yan Mu's brows tightened suddenly. He felt the pain of being bitten on his body, and the next moment, the rope was suddenly pulled up again. Those things fell from his body, still holding his flesh in their mouths.

After watching for a while, Yan Mu was covered in blood, and Concubine Xiao happily stomped her feet and clapped her hands.

"Again!"

So once again...

"Come again!"

one more time……

Yan Mu only felt that his whole body was full of holes, and blood was pouring out of each hole. He was very cold, his head was heavy, and his consciousness was slowly fading away.

Concubine Xiao spoke to the air as if her son was there. She asked him if it was fun and if he could relieve his anger.

"Not relieved?"

Concubine Xiao's eyes widened and she shouted to the guards: "Sink him, his whole body will sink. I want to see those things bite his throat!"

The guard frowned, "Mother, your Majesty is there..."

"How dare you not listen to what I say?"

The guard didn't dare, so he was about to let go and let Yan Mu fall down. At this time, a eunuch hurried over and saw this scene and shouted: "Pull this person up quickly!"

Concubine Xiao was in her mood when she was interrupted. She couldn't help but look at the person with anger.

"Eunuch Bai, what do you mean?"

Eunuch Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty has asked you to release Yan Mu immediately."

"His life was meant to avenge my son, so what if I kill him!"

"Empress, Da Rong's Zhenbei Army rebelled and occupied the three states of the North. They supported Yan Mu and were defeated by King Li Bei. They threatened that if Bei Jin dares to harm their king, they will go straight into our Bei Jin and kill as many people as they can along the way north. Kill as many people as you want, even if the whole army is wiped out, you still have to avenge their king." As he spoke, Eunuch Bai wiped his sweat again, and when he saw that Yan Mu was already bloody and unconscious, he was so shocked that he almost opened his eyes, "Quickly Quick... put the person down quickly and send him out of the palace quickly, don't die in the palace."
