Chapter 1 Meridian Gate Execution
The Meridian Gate is the only place where the capital of Qin Dynasty has been used for hundreds of years to observe the punishment. All prisoners sentenced to death will be escorted to the Meridian Gate for public execution in order to achieve the effect of shocking people.

Throughout the ages, countless prisoners have come to the end of their lives here. Among these people, there are everything from traffickers, pawns, criminals, rich and noble gentry, rich and powerful officials, and even relatives of the emperor.

But today, a special prisoner ushered in the Meridian Gate, causing an uproar in the entire Qin Capital.

This person is the current crown prince, Nangong Chengye.

Because of poisoning the Empress Dowager Mingde, she was deposed as the crown prince, and the emperor sentenced her: the car at the Meridian Gate was broken.

Once the crown prince was publicly sentenced to death, it was the first time in history that his grandson poisoned his grandmother, which was against ethics and intolerable. It should be hidden, even if it is a secret execution.

However, this time, His Majesty the Emperor chose such a high-profile way to deal with it. Not only did His Highness the Crown Prince execute the death penalty for thousands of people to watch, but he even chose to let him die in such an undignified way, which is really abnormal.

You know, that is the eldest son of the emperor who was born by the empress of the Central Palace. He was granted the reserve position as soon as he was born. For more than ten years, His Royal Highness, who has been favored by the emperor, would die at the hands of five animals. The whole body cannot fall.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a team of officials forcibly escorted a man in prison uniform and handcuffs and shackles. No, it should be said that he was a boy. He stepped onto the execution platform. , his complexion was as pale as paper, full of panic and fear, he struggled to escape, but was tightly controlled by the officials, so he had no choice but to shout for help.

"Father, my son was wronged, my son was wronged, father..."

"Mother, save my son, mother, save my son, my son doesn't want to die, my son really doesn't want to die..."

"Mother, save me..."

He was terrified, afraid of what was about to happen, so afraid that his whole body was trembling.

From a high-ranking prince, he was reduced to a prisoner overnight.Tormented by such a huge gap, he almost went crazy.

He didn't understand, he just added a little sumac powder to the pastry, how could it become a deadly poison?He even couldn't believe that his father, who had always loved him so much, sentenced him to death so easily?
Not even giving him a chance to defend and appeal?
And the queen mother who kept saying that she would definitely save him has not yet appeared. Is it because the queen mother is powerless, or has the queen mother chosen to give up on him?

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Just as he was pacing anxiously, the words of a burly Jinyi guard next to him completely drove him into the abyss. The head of the guard gave him a cold look and said:

"The imperial decree has been issued, and the Prime Minister personally supervised the beheading, so why waste your energy? Everyone who is about to be executed will cry out for injustice, but who knows who is really wronged? And the one who can walk down from the execution platform panting , but it is: there has been nothing since ancient times." So let's accept fate, even if he is a prince, he is not the supreme emperor who controls the life and death of the world after all.

"Mother-"

Nangong Chengye seemed to be drained of all his strength for a moment, his mind was spinning dizzily, echoing the words of the guards, he couldn't hear a word of the people's noisy discussion under the execution platform, he could only vaguely see The faces of hatred, sympathy, or indifference.

And he, of course, did not see that there was a person on a tall building not far away, with a pair of eyes, staring at him fiercely.

What kind of person is that?
She sat in a very strange posture, her head leaned against the back of the chair, her hands, feet, limbs, and even her whole body were almost pressed on the chair, and she remained motionless for a long time.

That way, it looks like a mollusk without bone support.

Her entire body was wrapped in a large black cloak, so her face and expression could not be seen clearly, only a strand of white hair fluttering from her temples and a pair of dark eyes.

In front of her, an iron window was opened, and because of the angle, it was just enough for her to see everything that happened below, and she could even clearly see the face full of fear.

Worry, anxiety, grief, indignation, heartache, despair, destructive resentment... Countless complex emotions flashed in those eyes one by one, but in the end they all turned into calm like stagnant water.

"Is this what you want me to see and hear?" The hoarse and rough voice was like an eighty-year-old woman, without any waves. Listening carefully, there was a strange sense of bloodthirsty.

"Hey……"

The elegantly furnished room could be heard falling into a needle, and fell into a brief silence. It was clear that the whole room was empty except for her, but after a while, a faint sigh suddenly sounded. Thriller.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect my sister's heart to be more poisonous and tougher than before..."

The wall next to the cabinet automatically parted, revealing a pair of delicate embroidered shoes, and a soft voice came from inside.

It turned out that there was a secret passage behind the wall, and the owner of the voice grew lotus step by step, and slowly came to the side of the cloaked man, and tore off the veil covering his face.

It was a very delicate face, it lacked the innocence and childishness of the past, and it was a little more graceful and luxurious, a little round and dignified, with the charm of a mature woman everywhere.

The cloaked man was no stranger to this face, and it could even be said that he was already familiar with it to the bone, so that she would not dare to forget it until she died.

"Don't you feel bad, sister?" The woman glanced out of the window, then at the man in the cloak. As she spoke, she reached out and lifted off the black veil on the cloak's head. When the face was covered with scars that had already rotted, the woman's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her voice couldn't help but pause for a moment, but then she smiled coquettishly again and again.

"Look, Ye'er is so scared, he is crying for his mother to save him, sister, do you really have the heart to watch him die in such a miserable way? You know, he was born in October of your pregnancy Dear-born-son-son!"

The last four words were bitten extremely hard. If someone heard her words at this time, they would be shocked.

Isn't Prince Ye the direct descendant of the Empress of the Central Palace?

If this news spreads out, I am afraid that the entire Yuejing will once again set off huge waves.
