Chapter 1
In the five years of Yanyou in the Dashun Dynasty, the sun was scorching.

In the death row, Murong Qing was tied to a pillar, and two stoves were specially lit for her on both sides.

It was as if she was being roasted on a fire, her face was flushed from the heat, and her breathing was difficult.

But he still repeated over and over again: "The concubine has never done anything wrong to His Majesty! The concubine has never done anything wrong to His Majesty..."

Three days ago, she drowsy after drinking some wine, went back to the palace to lie down to rest. She fell unconscious, but she didn't expect to be woken up by a basin of cold water not long after.

She didn't know what happened, and when she woke up, she saw a guard lying beside her.

The two share the same bed and sleep with their clothes on.

At that time there were still Sheng Xiuyan in a dragon robe standing beside the bed, and Bai Mengying, the concubine of Yuan Gui who was in favor.

She expected to be framed by someone, but she didn't expect that Sheng Xiuyan didn't even give her a chance to explain, and directly ordered someone to put her in death row!
Although it's only been three days, all kinds of instruments of torture in the death row have already been tried on her.

When I came in, I was already in a bad mood, but now I can only hang on my breath...

Sheng Xiuyan outside the cell had his hands behind his hands, with a gloomy look on his face: "I have seen it with my own eyes, can I still wrong you?"

Bai Mengying, who was standing beside Sheng Xiuyan, looked sadly at Murong Qing, who was tortured in the prison cell, who was neither human nor ghost: "Sister, how could you make such a big mistake? How can this make His Majesty feel ashamed?"

After finishing speaking, he gently shook Sheng Xiuyan's sleeve.

"Your Majesty, my concubine and my sister are like biological sisters. My sister made a big mistake, and my sister, my concubine, is also at fault. I should have persuaded her earlier. Can your majesty spare my sister this time?"

"Forgive her? Hmph!"

Sheng Xiuyan sneered coldly, his falcon-like eyes were full of disgust: "This kind of whore has made a big mistake, how can I forgive her? Even if this whore is cut into pieces, it's not too much!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Mengying turned her head and retched to the side.

Sheng Xiuyan frowned: "This cell must be extremely smelly, and Ying'er can't bear the smell. You go out first, I have something to say to this whore."

Bai Mengying's retching gradually stopped, she raised her hand along her chest, and looked at Sheng Xiuyan with a smile.

"The cell smells really bad, but it's not because the concubine can't stand the smell, it's just..."

She bit her lower lip lightly, showing a shy face, and stroked her abdomen with one hand.

The meaning is self-evident.

Sheng Xiuyan was startled: "Ying'er, you...you have a dragon heir?"

There was a smile on his face, and he even bent down to look at Bai Mengying's abdomen.

Bai Mengying nodded lightly: "The concubine is weak, and the dragon's heir is less than three months old, so she is unstable. She was afraid that there would be no joy, so she has not made it public."

While speaking, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he raised his eyelids to look at Murong Qing who was in the cell.

"My sister likes children the most. If my sister hadn't been so confused, it would be great to let my sister raise and take care of the emperor's son when he is born."

In the dark prison cell, a trace of gloom and cunning flashed in Bai Mengying's eyes.

It's a pity that Sheng Xiuyan only focused on her belly, but didn't notice her expression.

Murong Qing's head was dizzy, but at this moment he was inexplicably awake, and he could clearly see Bai Mengying's expression.

is her!Bai Mengying must have framed her!
It turned out that Bai Mengying, whom she regarded as her own sister, harmed her!

But seeing the dazzling smile on Sheng Xiuyan's face, Murong Qing felt powerless to speak out.

He didn't even give her a chance to explain, if she explained it now, would he believe it?
"Giving this adulterer to raise her will only teach the emperor badly!"

Sheng Xiuyan's expression suddenly sank, and he looked at Murong Qing with cold eyes: "The empress committed such a capital crime of disobedience to women's morals, and in the southern border, she colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, intending to rebel. Your Murong family is really good!"

Murong Qing only felt a bang in his head.

rebellion?How could the father rebel?

Her bloodshot eyes were full of disbelief, and she tried her best to say it: "No! Impossible, my father will never...never collude with the enemy and betray the country! Never rebel!"

In the Marquis Mansion of the Southern Territory, there are many loyal generals guarding the Southern Territory, and they only want to guard the Dashun Dynasty.

She never believed that her father would collude with the enemy and betray the country!

Sheng Xiuyan's face was as cold as ice, and his whole body was covered with bloodthirsty murderous intent: "The evidence for this matter is conclusive. I have issued an order to execute the execution day in three days!"

"Do not--"

Murong Qing's voice was hoarse.

She twisted her hands desperately, trying to break free from the rope tied around her wrist: "Sheng Xiuyan, how many lives have my Murong family's sons and daughters sacrificed to protect you from ascending the throne, how can you be so ungrateful! The Murong family will never Collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country! Never!"

She was trembling with hatred, for a moment she even forgot the courtesy of a monarch and minister, and called Sheng Xiuyan by his name.

Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless people in the world. At the beginning, it was the Murong family who vigorously supported the third prince in the battle for the heir apparent, allowing Sheng Xiuyan, who was not considered favored, to ascend to the throne.

Since ascension to the throne, Sheng Xiuyan has used various reasons to execute the ministers who opposed him, and it didn't gradually subside until this year.But now that the society has just stabilized, can he no longer tolerate the hero of the Murong family?
After Murong Qing figured it out, seeing his indifferent expression, he couldn't help lowering his head.

But there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"Haha...Sheng Xiuyan, if you act like this, aren't you afraid of going to hell after death?"

In the dimly lit prison cell, those who heard the laughter were horrified.

Sheng Xiuyan frowned, and looked sideways at Bai Mengying: "Ying'er is pregnant, go out first."

Knowing that Sheng Xiuyan was going to say something to Murong Qing that she couldn't listen to, Bai Mengying left the cell wisely.

The following guards and eunuchs also left.

It wasn't until Sheng Xiuyan and Murong Qing were left in the cell that he said, "Why do you have to be afraid of hell? The most uncomfortable thing is that I can't sit securely on this dragon chair!"

The two looked at each other across the stakes of the cell.

When Murong Qing looked at the dragon robe, he felt dazzled.

In order to secure the throne, he actually wanted to execute the entire family of Murong's family.

It's a good move to cross the river and tear down the bridge!
Her twisting wrist suddenly stopped moving, and tears slid down her cheeks to her chin, and then fell to the ground.

His eyes were full of despair.

"Third brother, it's just to demote them to civilians, I beg you... please spare their lives!"

Murong Qing had no choice but to let go of his posture, and even endured the feeling of nausea and called out the long-lost address, hoping that he would spare the Murong family because of his past love.

But Sheng Xiuyan's face was still calm and cold.

Murong Qing saw it clearly, closed his eyes, and said resolutely: "The concubine made a big mistake and deserves to be punished. The Murong family is full of loyalty, and how much blood and tears have been sacrificed for His Majesty. His Majesty will pay off their merits and demerits, and spare their lives. You can also go into exile. Your Majesty is furious, and my concubines know that if your Majesty wants to kill me, then kill me!"

"Since Qing'er said so, let's spare their lives, give poisoned wine, white silk, dagger, choose one, and it will be regarded as a face for you."

Sheng Xiuyan seemed to have given a great gift, but even so, Murong Qing still had to hold back his hatred and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch brought over the three-piece suit, obviously already prepared.

Sheng Xiuyan glanced at the wine, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Watch her choose."

After a stick of incense, under the watchful eye of the eunuch, Murong Qing chose the poisoned wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Immediately the pain caused her to fall to the ground and curled up, feeling like thousands of ants were gnawing at her bone marrow, life would be worse than death.

"Concubine Yuan Gui asked the servant to give the empress a message."

The eunuch bent down and said: "The Marquis' Mansion in the Southern Territory was ransacked yesterday, and the empress can go to the Yincao Difu to reunite with them."

Murong Qing was like being struck by a bolt from the blue, and said with difficulty: "No! Your Majesty, he, he promised..."

Before she finished speaking, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her mouth was also full of blood, which made her unable to utter the last sentence.

He still lied to her, and made her die willingly.

But they still failed to keep the Murong family!
Murong Qing closed his eyes with hatred, only to feel his soul being pulled away inch by inch.

Sheng Xiuyan, if there is an afterlife, I, Murong Qing, swear that you will pay with blood, and life would be worse than death...
