Chapter 1849 Extra Story: Love (30)
When the two were in grief, there was a sound of drumming outside the crowd.
Three beeps, thump, thump, hit people's hearts directly.
"The Emperor is here—"
A sharp sing-along followed, and the noisy crowd fell silent almost immediately, followed by the sound of kneeling and worshiping piercing the sky.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Onlookers and officers and soldiers kneeled together, not daring to look directly at Tianyan.
Zhuo Cheng and Quan Zhengchu also knelt down, and when they bowed their heads, they peeked in that direction from the corner of their eyes.
The scene of the royal team is mighty, and the road they walk is far away from the common people, and only faint figures can be seen when looking up.
When the dragon chariot stopped, Ming Huang's figure walked down slowly. He did not follow the official's guidance to go directly to the execution platform, but turned around and waited for the girl in white who got off the small chariot behind him before walking forward together.
Seeing that white shadow, Zhuo Cheng's heart froze for a moment, and then there was a burst of excitement in his eyes, "Zhengchu, Zhengchu! Maybe things will turn around!"
"Turning opportunity? What do you mean? You mean that Ziyi might be saved?!" Quan Zhengchu was so excited that he almost raised his voice, but fortunately he still remembered the occasion, so he managed to suppress his voice.
"I seem to have seen the princess of Nanling just now! It's next to the emperor! Don't look up, you fool, do you want to be beaten!" Seeing that Quan Zhengchu was about to look up to that direction, Zhuo Cheng hurriedly pressed his head to the ground , hit the ground with a bang, "The princess is a sensible person, if we go to intercede, maybe the princess will be lenient!"
Quan Zhengchu didn't care about his sore head, and said happily, "If the princess can forgive me, then the emperor will definitely look at the princess's face?!"
The two looked at each other, unable to hide their ecstasy, "Fight!"
After they finished talking, the two shouted in a distant direction, "Princess, the little people want to avenge their grievances! Please have mercy!"
As soon as the two shouted, they were immediately dragged back by the guarding officers and soldiers, and even put their swords on their necks.
In the distance, two voices, one yellow and one white, heard the commotion, turned their heads to look this way, and then continued to walk towards the execution platform.
Zhuo Cheng and Quan Zhengchu struggled desperately, but what they got was such a result, their hearts immediately turned cold.
In the center of the venue, the young man in shackles and handcuffs turned his head and shook his head slightly at them. Even though they were far apart, the two could feel the despair spreading from the man, and he even squeezed out a smile to comfort them both .
Quan Zhengchu couldn't hold back, and burst into tears.
The noise in front of the saint, no matter what the reason, will be beaten with a board, and the pain caused by the stick falling on the body is not as good as the anger and sadness in my heart.
Over here, Hongdou and Yan Rongjin were already sitting on the execution platform, calmly looking at the crowd kneeling below.
"Your Majesty, the time has come. After the minister reads out the crimes, the Yamen will escort these officials and family members to exile in the Northwest." The official in charge of prison and punishment reported.
Yan Rongjin nodded, "Now that the time has come, you can declare the decree."
The officials immediately went down to prepare.
In fact, the report just now was just a formality. The emperor is a man of words, but he never changes the decisions he makes.
Soon, the voices of officials on the stage announcing the indictment and the will of the Holy Majesty spread in all directions.
Hongdou sat behind Yan Rongjin, her eyes fell on the faces of those officials and family members, after watching for a while, she suddenly tilted her head, and poked Yan Rongjin's back quietly from behind.
"Brother Xiaoqi, I know that person."
"Huh? Who?" Yan Rongjin turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly.
