Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path
Chapter 693 Execution
If Yu Wenchang didn't take a look at her, it was enough to show Yu Wenchang's heartlessness.
"This……"
Hongxia looked at the expectation in Sima Xunqin's eyes, and dared not tell her the truth.
She climbed Sima Xunqin and couldn't stand the blow.
However, although Hongxia didn't say anything, Sima Xunqin already knew the answer by looking at her appearance.
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel!"
Sima Xunqin had already shed all tears yesterday, and now he looked sad, but the corners of his eyes were dry.
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your body, the imperial doctor said that you should not be so sad anymore." Hongxia sobbed.
"It's already like this, why do I still need this body?"
Sima Xunqin let out a cry of despair.
"What time is it?" Sima Xunqin asked immediately, remembering the time of Sima Zhishang's execution, his expression tightened.
"Niang Niang, just arrived at Maoshi..." Hongxia reported.
The beheading was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only a few hours away from now.
Sima Xunqin lifted the quilt on her body and was about to get out of bed, but after kneeling all day yesterday, her feet were as heavy as lead. If Hongxia hadn't helped her in time, she might have fallen out of bed.
"Ma'am, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that Sima Xunqin was already in this state and wanted to get out of bed, Hongxia asked distressedly while crying.
"I'm going to save them!" Sima Xunqin clenched his teeth and said, holding back the pain.
Although things have reached this point, as long as the person has not beheaded, she is not willing to give up hope.
"But the emperor..."
Hongxia swallowed her words in the middle of her speech, she was afraid that Sima Xunqin would be hit.
Considering Yu Wenchang's indifferent attitude, I'm afraid Sima Xunqin would just waste time and suffer if he went to plead for mercy.
"We're not looking for the emperor, let's look for the queen!"
Sima Xunqin narrowed his eyes and said with certainty.
She is not stupid, Yu Wenchang has always been cold-hearted, it is useless for Sima Xunqin to go to him, and he might not even see him face to face.
But Xue Yirong is different, she is the empress, if she asks to see her, no matter what, Yu Wenchang will show her face.
If Xue Yirong is willing to intercede for her, there is still a slight possibility.
"what?!"
When Hongxia heard Sima Xunqin's words, she pursed her lips tightly and tried to persuade her, "Your Majesty, the Empress may not be willing to help us..."
Xue Yirong and Sima Xunqin had always been at loggerheads, and when they thought about it with their toes, they knew how the other party would help Sima Xunqin.
Xue Yirong is already very good if he doesn't throw stones into the well.
If Sima Xunqin made this trip, not only would he not find help, but he would even be humiliated.
"go!"
How could Sima Xunqin not know the result, but she has no choice, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, then she is willing to try it.
"My lady, the imperial concubine please see me."
Caixiang came to Xue Yirong's side to report.
"Sima Xunqin?"
Xue Yirong frowned and asked, "Why did she come to see Ben Gong?"
"It looks like I'm here to plead with the empress..."
Caixiang told Xue Yirong her guess, and said angrily: "Madam, this imperial concubine has disrespected you so much in the past, you have to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson!"
Relying on his background, Sima Xunqin was domineering in the palace, and even the queen Xue Yirong had to avoid her.
In the past, Xue Yirong suffered a lot from her.
Now that Sima Xunqin came to him on his own initiative, Xue Yirong certainly didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
"Ma'am, it's not right!"
Just when Xue Yirong was about to let Caixiang bring Sima Xunqin in, Xi'er stopped Xue Yirong.
"Empress, have you forgotten His Royal Highness's previous instructions?" Xi'er reminded.
The Sima family is treason, and once it is involved, even if it has nothing to do with it, it's hard to tell.
Yu Wenjing just wanted to wait for the Sima family to fall in peace, and was unwilling to make any mistakes, so he specially reminded Xue Yirong before, telling her not to take the opportunity to deal with Sima Xunqin, and try to stay away from Sima Xunqin.
After the Sima family incident broke out, everyone in the palace walked around the Chonghua Palace.
The originally busiest palace was almost deserted than the cold palace.she
"This……"
Xue Yirong came to her senses, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and told Xi'er: "Go and tell her that Ben Gong is ill."
"Yes, madam!"
Seeing that Xue Yirong understood, Xi'er was relieved, and immediately went down to inform Sima Xunqin.
"Imperial Concubine, please go back. The Empress is ill and will be recuperating, so I won't be able to see you." Xi'er looked at Sima Xunqin and said.
"not see……"
Sima Xunqin's body trembled slightly, she held Xi'er's hand tightly and begged, "Go and tell the Empress Empress, and you will say that I know that I was wrong, and that I am willing to atone for offending the Empress Empress before, please see your empress." Let's be a concubine!"
"Imperial Concubine, please don't make things difficult for your slaves..."
Xi'er remained unmoved, and had to deal with Sima Xunqin at any time after the turmoil passed.
There is no need to act on the current outlet.
When Sima Xunqin saw that Xi'er couldn't open a breakthrough, she became emotional immediately. She pushed Xi'er away, wanting to break into the room to find Xue Yirong.
"Imperial Concubine!"
However, this is Xianfu Palace after all, the queen's palace, besides Xi'er, there are other court ladies and eunuchs, it is impossible for Sima Xunqin to break in.
"Empress, please help my concubine..."
Sima Xunqin was stopped by someone, so he could only yell in the direction of the inner room.
"Is she going crazy?"
Hearing Sima Xunqin's voice, Xue Yirong frowned, and ordered: "Someone will take him back to Chonghua Palace!"
She didn't want Sima Xunqin to go crazy in her palace, if she didn't do it by then, she would be suspected, and that would be a waste of money.
"Let go of me, you let me go!"
Sima Xunqin was escorted back to the Chonghua Palace by the court ladies, none of the court ladies and eunuchs around Sima Xunqin came forward to stop him.
No, there are still some, but her personal maid Hongxia has not betrayed her at this time.
"Why, why are you doing this to me!"
Seeing the rising sun, Sima Xunqin knelt down on the ground and howled miserably.
The blow was too sudden and too great, and she couldn't bear it at all.
"Go to the execution ground! I'm going to the execution ground!"
Sima Xunqin stumbled and rushed outside.
"Miss!"
Hongxia looked at the crazy Sima Xunqin, and immediately chased after him.
"Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine was going out of the palace to the execution ground, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of the palace." Aunt Xuan whispered in the Empress Dowager's ear.
"Forget it, let her go out, and see her for the last time."
The queen mother sighed slightly and ordered.
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Aunt Xuan agreed and went down to make arrangements.
Sima Xunqin rushed to the execution ground, and at the same time, another person was also on his way to the execution ground.
"Did father ask you to come and let me out?"
Sima Jincheng looked at the guards who walked into the cell, and asked emotionally.
Sima Weibo gave him hope at the beginning, so he persevered in the cell, wanting to wait for Sima Weibo to rescue him.
But month after month passed, the first batch of prisoners who had been interrogated and beheaded had been sent out, and the second batch was about to arrive, Sima Jincheng couldn't sit still.
He didn't know when he would be sent to be beheaded, and he wanted to get out urgently.
When the guards heard Sima Jincheng's words, their expressions were a little strange. They looked at each other and said, "I sent you to reunite your father and son."
"Take me to see my father? Really?!"
Sima Jincheng was overjoyed when he heard the words. He waited for so long, and finally it's here!
"Put on the shackles!"
The guards put shackles on Sima Jincheng, and Sima Jincheng thought that he was trying to deceive the guards outside, so he was very cooperative.
Sima Jincheng was escorted into the prison van and taken to the direction of the execution ground.
Today, the entire Sima family and all relevant personnel involved in the case will be executed in the execution ground.
Originally, Sima Jincheng couldn't wait until today, and he would be on the list among the first batch of people who were asked to be killed after autumn.
But because Yu Wenjing knew what the Sima family had committed, he deliberately postponed the time for Sima Jincheng's questioning and beheading, and wanted them to be beheaded together, so Sima Jincheng waited until today.
"This is not the direction out of the city, where are you taking me?!"
Sima Jincheng sat on the prison car, looked around, felt a little uneasy, and questioned the guards.
"You'll know soon." The guard glanced at Sima Jincheng, and continued walking forward without answering.
The guard didn't lie to Sima Jincheng, he did know the answer soon.
There were so many people kneeling so densely on the execution ground that they couldn't see their heads at a glance.
Sima Jincheng looked at the familiar crowd, most of them were his relatives, and the leaders were Sima Zhishang and Sima Weibo!
"Grandpa, father?!"
Sima Jincheng shook his head in disbelief, unwilling to believe what he saw.
"Jincheng..."
Sima Weibo looked at Sima Jincheng and lowered his head guiltily.
It can only be said that winners and losers, since they lost, they must accept punishment.
Sima Jincheng was escorted to kneel beside Sima Weibo.
Seeing that there was one more person on the execution ground, the people around them cursed more intensely.
Usually, the family members of the victim or the prisoner come to carry out the execution. Most people would not come to see such a cruel scene.
But the news of the Sima family's treason came out, and Sima Jincheng's previous crimes, the common people's hatred for the Sima family reached the peak, and many people came to watch the execution.
"Father, what happened, why are you all kneeling here?" Sima Jincheng asked blankly.
"us……"
Sima Weibo sighed and shook his head. It's useless to say anything now.
"The hour is up, execution!"
Yu Wenhong is the beheading officer. He looked at the time and ordered the beheading to start.
"This……"
Hongxia looked at the expectation in Sima Xunqin's eyes, and dared not tell her the truth.
She climbed Sima Xunqin and couldn't stand the blow.
However, although Hongxia didn't say anything, Sima Xunqin already knew the answer by looking at her appearance.
