But for the people whose hearts are like stagnant water at this moment, this little pain is nothing.From the moment he learned that the emperor decided to execute Gao Yinglingchi at the entrance of the downtown area tomorrow, his heart couldn't move any longer.He doesn't dare to risk death now, he doesn't know how many people will be implicated if he dies.Now, he knelt here, not for anything else, just to see Gao Ying again.

The bright yellow dragon robe appeared in sight, and he bowed respectfully and kowtowed.Hearing the emperor tell him to raise his head, he did so, facing the emperor's eyes like a moment.

The emperor looked at the elegant but infinitely haggard face, and finally couldn't bear it, "Get up first, and talk inside."

"Yes."

The attitude was rare and respectful, and the emperor frowned quietly.

He ordered someone to pour hot tea for him and let him warm up first.

The hand holding the teacup trembled a little, although the heat of the tea could quickly cover his hands, but his heart had already sunk into a cold pool.

"Are you here to intercede for him? Or do you not even bother to intercede, and want me to fulfill you and die with him." The emperor also calmed down at once. he.Will killing you fulfill your name of loyalty?

"I'm not here to plead for him." He Lancong said in a low voice, "I'm asking for a favor for myself."

"Oh, let's hear it." The emperor can't see through him now, what does he want to do?

"Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, Gao Ying can go home. From now on, I will never see him again. All I want to do is to hand him a bowl of Zhuang Xingjiu in person, at least in the execution ground."

"You are going to the execution ground to see him off."

"Yes, Your Majesty Bei Cang." The teacup was placed on the small table, and the exhausted man knelt down again, bent over, kowtowed and bowed again.

"You... get up, I promise you." The emperor was very disappointed, He Lancong came to intercede as he expected, but things did not develop in the direction he expected.The person in front of him looked very weak, so weak that it hurts his heart, he asked: "Can you have lunch."

He Lancong shook his head, the emperor was about to call someone to serve tea and fruit, but He Lancong gave a deep salute, turned around and left.

I wanted to stop him, but he stayed, what did he say?The moment the emperor hesitated, the person had already pushed the door and left.

Boom, boom, boom... The requiem drum beat at a fixed rhythm, slow and dull.

Today is a fine weather, even though it has been spring, but this afternoon is not warm.

On the large square at the entrance of the downtown area, the prison officer sat upright, looking at the sun in the sky from time to time, and it would arrive at [-]:[-] noon.After loudly reading the criminal's crimes, the prison officer took the bamboo tablet on the wooden case in front of him, and when the time came and the drum stopped, he could order the execution.

The emperor was dressed in ordinary clothes, and was surrounded by many hidden guards who had changed into civilian clothes.At this moment, the eyes of the Son of Heaven moved up little by little following the lonely figure.

Holding the tray in his hand, He Lancong slowly stepped up the wooden steps of the execution platform, his heart sank every step he took.

Gao Ying had been tied firmly on the rack, with his head drooping, his messy hair covering his red and swollen cheeks.Seeing someone standing in front of him, he sighed, "Don't waste your time, just kill me."

"Gao Ying, raise your head. Men in Donglin will not bow their heads to lead them to death." He Lancong's tone was flat and his voice was very soft, as long as Gao Ying could hear him.

The sound of the life-threatening drum entered the ears, forming a magical sound beating on the hearts of the two of them.

Gao Ying raised his head, a faint smile disappeared instantly, and he said, "I'm sorry."

He Lancong nodded, "It's okay, I understand what you mean."

"I want to go back to Donglin." Gao Ying's eyes had drifted away, and he said, "You can send me on the road, and don't let people from Bei Cang touch me."

He Lancong filled up the sake and handed it to Gao Ying's mouth, "After drinking this glass of wine, I will fulfill you."

Gao Ying's eyes recovered, and he laughed out loud.

The emperor began to feel a little uneasy, feeling that something was wrong, thought for a while, and shouted: "Stop him!"

After drinking the sake in the glass, Gao Ying regained her spirits and shouted, "Happy, hahaha..."

"Good brother, life is short, I'll wait for He Lan, and He Lan will make an apology in person in the future."

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the emperor's pupils suddenly shrank.He Lancong waved his hand, Gao Ying's head drooped again, the wound was not big, the bleeding was not much, the position was precise, and he died instantly.

With a bang, the exquisite dagger fell to the ground, and He Lancong was taken down by the hidden guards who flew onto the execution platform.

The emperor thought that his plans and arrangements were flawless, but he didn't want to have such an accident.Loosening his clenched fist, he took the dagger handed by the dark guard, gritted his teeth and said, "Check."

Ning Yu cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this person's body?"

The emperor's face was livid, he looked at the corpse on the high platform, and said: "Encoffin properly, and send them back to the old place of Donglin for a proper burial."

Raising his head, the emperor thought to himself, God is really blind, I didn't want to kill this person.

He Lancong was escorted by the hidden guards, and when he passed by the emperor, he showed a relieved smile.With a calm expression, he whispered: Your Majesty, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.You can get my body, but you can't control my heart, let alone my life and death... My life and death are in my own hands.

impossible!The emperor returned to the palace, only repeating these three words in his heart.He Lan, your life and death are always in my hands.As for your heart, I have a way to make you surrender.

An Rong was by the emperor's side and never left him. The bitter trick devised by the emperor did not achieve the desired result, but made his relationship with He Lancong even worse. It is strange that the emperor is not angry.

"He Lan, you are forcing me to kill. Alright, I will let you go. This time, let's see which unlucky ghost it is."

On the second floor of Zhaohuang Pavilion, the place called Qianli Academy by the old eunuch, the emperor sat at the top.He Lancong was held down by the guards and knelt down beside the emperor.

The emperor threw the dagger to the little eunuch who was kneeling in front of Sese, "Do you know who this thing belongs to?"

Xiao Fu had expected this day long ago, and closed his eyes resignedly to his fate, "Return to Your Majesty, this is something Young Master He Lan is playing with."

The emperor chuckled, "Why don't I remember that I gave him this reward? Could it be that I'm getting old and don't remember anything?"

"Don't embarrass him, it's mine."

He Lancong finally spoke, neither humble nor overbearing, and the emperor was even more angry, "It's yours, so where did you get it from?"

"I..." This is a difficult time, how should I answer.

"Can't you tell?" The emperor sneered.

He Lancong said: "It has nothing to do with him, let him go."

"Ha!" The emperor laughed dryly, "Helan, I heard a joke today! I'm here to tell you that the thing is yours, but as a slave, he knows that sharp weapons are not allowed in the palace, but he doesn't report it. , Just relying on this, he will definitely die." Whoever got this for you can guess without even thinking about it.

A desolate smile appeared on Xiaofu's pale face, and he said: "I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I just want to die to thank Your Majesty."

The emperor turned his head away and told An Cheng, "I'll leave it to you."

An Cheng's face was expressionless, only his mouth was moving, "Drag it out, die with a stick."

"It's my fault, please forgive him, please." For the first time, He Lancong begged the emperor to abandon his pride for the sake of a small eunuch in Beicang Kingdom.When he made up his mind to kill Gao Ying with his own hands, although he begged the emperor to get that chance, his arrogance was still there.At this moment, dignity and pride no longer exist.

The guard who set up Xiaofu stopped, looked at An Cheng, An Cheng bowed to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, look at this--"

The emperor took the pleading in He Lancong's eyes into his eyes, and was instantly furious.Whether this person's heart is cold or hot, he has been tortured and humiliated, and has never begged for mercy; seeing his friend being executed, he can be cruel and kill him with his own hands.Now it's just for a little eunuch, and he is begging me.This time, I want to let you know what it means to have a heart like iron.

The emperor spat out two words cruelly, and stopped talking when it was too late.

The people from the Punishment Department came very quickly. They have been doing this job all year round, and they are extremely quick.

Xiao Fu didn't seem to be scared at all, he was smiling, smiling at He Lancong, he yelled twice to go home, but because of the pain, he couldn't speak anymore.

The little eunuch was laughing from beginning to end, and the stiletto would hurt people even more at the end. He Lancong watched the blood gushing out of his mouth, and felt blood rushing to his head. He shouted loudly and broke away from the guards who were suppressing him.

The people from the Punishment Department were knocked down twice by He Lancong, the guards wanted to go up to stop them, but the emperor waved his hand to make the guards retreat.

Xiaofu's head was held in He Lancong's arms, and he called out easily: "Xiaofu, Xiaofu, open your eyes."

Feeling a burst of warmth, Xiao Fu still opened his eyes, a little surprised and a little happy, he knew that He Lancong was using one hand to untie the rope that bound him, he shook his head with the last of his strength, "Back-- Home - I miss home... want... home..."

"Xiaofu, Xiaofu!" The clear eyes of the person in his arms lost focus, and he raised his hand to close his eyes. He Lancong smiled bitterly, "Go home."

"My lord, Your Majesty invites you to come over." An Cheng's voice came out inappropriately.

"Ouch!" An Cheng fell to the ground, wailing.

He Lancong had already stood up, raised his head, closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and shook the chain on his wrist.He walked towards the emperor, and the guards stopped him one after another seeing his unkind expression.

When the emperor heard the chaotic escort, he did not expect the pain to come so quickly.Touching the corner of his mouth, there were bloodshot eyes in his hand.

"Press it down, watch carefully, don't have any more accidents, I'm going to prepare a big gift for Mr. Helan." The emperor clenched his fists tightly, and glanced at An Cheng with sinister eyes, "Get out of here!"
