Scholar Who Walks the Night

?Ming Xi didn't take this matter to heart, he just thought it was a relative of Zuo Xiang's family or a wealthy young man who came to play around in his spare time.

The day before the wedding with his elder brother, the Jin family hung red silk satin curtains, red lanterns painted with gold, and red candles wrapped around golden dragons.

It's just that brother Shenglie went out in the early morning and hasn't returned home until now.

After dinner, Ming Xi kept twisting his silk handkerchief and leaning against the red lacquered wooden door of the Jin Mansion, looking into the distance, until the bright moon was in the sky, and the night was cool and cool, Fang went back to the house to wash and rest under the urging of the maid.

Tossing and turning, always worrying about whether Brother Shenglie will come back, and whether tomorrow's wedding will be held on time.

Feeling sleepy, she got up and put on the golden-colored mandarin duck with red satin wedding dress embroidered by herself, and looked carefully at the copper makeup mirror.

The woman in the mirror is dressed in red, her eyes are like autumn water, her lips are a little red cherry, and her blue hair is flowing like a beautiful woman on her shoulders. in this way.

The sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly resounded, disturbing the dense night, and the flames outside the window illuminated the golden mansion brightly. Mingxi was startled, and was about to ask people to ask questions, when officers and soldiers armed with long spears broke into the door, Mingxi in the wedding dress pushed her out.

The Jin mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the parents of the Jin family were kneeling and cuddling each other in the yard, only wearing plain white jackets. Ming Xi hurriedly went to grab his mother's arm.

After counting the number of people, the leading official said lazily, "Everyone listened to the decree and passed on the king's oral order. Kim Sung-yeol, the son of Kim Jong-do, the chief minister of Sungkyunkwan, is sentenced to treason and treason. He will be executed on the same day."

It's really unheard of for people to be convicted without even being given a chance to seek justice.

The servants of the Jin family were so shocked that they all fell to the ground crying. Father Jin didn't even cry out for being wronged, but he vomited blood angrily and passed out.

Earlier, Ming Xi was locked in the palace prison alone, his head seemed to be struck by lightning, and the noise kept ringing. Naturally, she did not believe that Brother Sheng Lie would do such a thing, and he must have been wronged.

Afterwards, the unconscious Jin Mu was half-dragged by the officers and soldiers and thrown into the prison. Her body was covered in blood, and her arms and thighs were bloody. It was obvious that she had been tortured.

Ming Xi sobbed in distress, pinching the sleeve of the wedding dress and gently wiping the sweat for his mother.She didn't understand why the heavy punishment was imposed since she had already been sentenced to death, and she didn't know whether her father in the men's prison had suffered.

Not long after, several officers and soldiers came and pulled Ming Xisheng, who was crying with his mother in his arms, and pulled them out and took them away.

Blindfolded, Ming Xi rode on a wooden cart for less than half an hour, and was led down a section of winding steps on foot. He didn't know where he was going, but felt colder and colder as he walked.

Finally arrived at the destination, the black cloth covering the eyes was untied, and the huge underground palace built with bluestone came into view.

Sitting on a stone seat with high steps in the middle of the underground palace was a man. He was wearing a silk and brocade robe with a black background and a golden dragon pattern on the outside, and a red and green cicada-wing inner garment. His eyes are like stars, his nose is straight, his lips look like the sun is shining, he is the rude Mr. Li back then.

He spread his legs lazily and leaned against the throne, the hem of his black robe was dragging more than three feet on the ground, one hand was loosely resting on the chair handle, the other was on his lap, his red lips were smiling, and his eyes were staring straight at her. .

That young master was full of hostility and coercion, Ming Xi's face was pale with horror, his whole body trembled violently, and he took a few steps back unconsciously.

He admired Mingxi's terrified expression for a while as if he was playing with prey, then stood up and slowly walked down the stone steps, dragging the black robe on the floor and gradually approaching. ?
