Hard to smile

Chapter 39 Witness
The blow was really hard. When Hu Chun woke up, the back of her head was still throbbing with pain. She couldn't help raising her hand to touch it. Did it break her skull?There was a small piece of dry grass between her fingers, which was itchy. She shook her hands, thinking about how there would be dry straw by the lake, but she suddenly realized that she looked around - which is the beautiful lake?
It looks like a prison cell, but it is very tidy. The polished bluestone bricks and the thumb-thick stainless steel fence are not like the prison cells that Hu Chun has seen in the past.Hu Chun touched the iron fence closest to her, and it was so cold that her blood froze. It really wasn't Fantie. She tried to flick it again with her fairy power, and it was sucked away by the cold iron without a sound, and there was no response. It is impossible to break it with force.

She looked into the aisle as far as possible from the gap between the fences. There was nothing but the oil lamp on the wall. There were cells on both sides of the aisle, but they were silent, so there should be no prisoners.

Hu Chun couldn't figure it out, how did she get from the lake to the cell?The concubine cheated?Absolutely impossible, Tianfei has the same personality as Yong Weiyi, she is not good at deceiving people, her eyes and attitude will not do such a thing.

The sound of armor and footsteps came from the corridor. A man in golden armor walked outside Hu Chun's cell and looked down at her lying on the ground.

He didn't ask a question, but just clapped his hands. Immediately, four or five big men came, opened the door involuntarily, and dragged Hu Chun out. Hu Chun could walk, but he couldn't keep up with their speed. They dragged them as fast as a dog.These Heavenly Soldiers are too fierce, they are obviously normal looking, but Hu Chun always feels that they have green faces and fangs, even though they are embarrassed, they dare not protest.

She was taken to a small hall, the windows were not open, only the light coming in from the door made the hall look very dark.

The Emperor of Heaven sat on the throne, and the grand master chairs beside his hands were full of gods. Hu Chun only dared to take a quick look at it, but the heavenly soldiers knelt on the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders, without daring to lift his head.Could it be...the Heavenly Emperor saw through her and Jinxuan's tricks, and felt that her mana had accumulated to the point where she should be killed?
"Hu Chun." When the Emperor of Heaven called her name, his tone was very serious, "Why did you kill Concubine Tian?"

A word like Jiao Lei made Hu Chun jump.

"Concubine Tian is dead?" She forgot her fear and suddenly raised her head to look at Emperor Tian. How is it possible?The beautiful elder who resisted disgust and touched her head died?
"Stop putting on airs!" The Heavenly Emperor was a little annoyed, and frowned.

Hu Chun's heart beat so fast that he was almost out of breath.If Concubine Tian was killed for sending her to An Siquan, how would she explain to Yong Wei?What the hell happened?Why did such a terrible thing happen in the blink of an eye?

"I didn't kill Concubine Tian! I didn't kill Concubine Tian!" She was eager to clarify, "I was knocked out as soon as I got to the lake!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and someone sneered contemptuously and said, "Sure enough, he is a despicable fox demon from the lower realm. He is best at lying and deceiving people! Do you think your evil deeds are unknown? Sure enough, someone has witnessed your crimes with their own eyes! Xiu Qiao, tell me what you saw again, and let this fox monster get rid of delusions and come to the truth!"

After the gentle yet majestic middle-aged man finished speaking, Xiu Qiao who was standing behind him took a step forward, clasped his fists to salute him and all the immortals present, and said loudly, "Yes, father."

Hu Chun unconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man, it turned out that he was King Chen.

"Xiaoxian was punished to think about it at the bottom of Ansi Lake. Three days ago, when she sensed the arrival of the concubine, she went to the lake to greet her. Then she saw this fox demon!" Xiu Qiao poked Hu Chun with her finger, her voice trembling. When she got up, she didn't know whether she wanted to express fear or anger, but tears welled up in her eyes, "She took advantage of Tianfei's unpreparedness and killed Tianfei! She also became greedy, snatched the Qingxiao bracelet from Tianfei's hand, and then used The Bone Transforming Cup... melted away the body of Concubine Tian."

"You talk nonsense!" Hu Chun was so angry that he didn't care about anything, and wanted to jump up to refute her, but was pushed back hard by the heavenly soldiers, and his knee hit the floor tile hard, and Hu Chun almost fell down in pain. "You're talking nonsense! I don't have any! What bone-shattering cup? What Qingxiao bracelet? You're talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

Hu Chun screamed so hard that his voice was broken.

Xiu Qiao ignored her, tears finally fell down, and said to everyone: "Xiaoxian should have rushed out to stop her, but she has the Qingxiao bracelet in her hand, and the concubine is dead, if I show up and die by the fox The Hand of the Demon, no one will testify against this evil deed, so Xiaoxian endured grief, anger and fear and dived back to the bottom of the lake until the fox demon left, and then immediately returned to the Heavenly Court to report."

Speaking of the excitement, she knelt down on both knees, walked to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, and cried bitterly, "Xiaoxian is guilty! She should do her best to protect the body of the concubine Tian, ​​so that she will not be humiliated... Xiaoxian only Thinking of saving my life and reporting the news, I wish I could go to the underworld together with my empress! My empress treats our sisters with great kindness, just like a mother, and Xiaoxian is incompetent, watching her being murdered by the fox demon."

The Emperor of Heaven showed a mournful expression, and his voice was slightly choked, "My child, you did the right thing. If you act recklessly, not only will it not help the matter, but you will also not be able to expose the evil deeds of the fox demon in public."

All the immortals present also sighed and nodded, feeling sad.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Hu Chun was trembling with anger, "I didn't kill Concubine Tian, ​​it's impossible to kill her! She treated me with great kindness."

Xiu Qiao suddenly turned her head and stared at her sharply, "You're lying again! You hate the concubine Tian for cutting off your fox tail, and you hate her for marrying my sister for Yongwei. Send my sister away from Shitang Palace! You have long held a grudge against the concubine Tian, ​​and you have hidden vicious murderous intentions!"

"First, I don't have any bone-shaping cups, and second, I didn't grab any Qingxiao bracelets..." Hu Chun remembered the bracelet Tianfei gave her, and raised his hand to show everyone, "If the bracelet you are talking about is this one, it is Tianfei Empress For me! She said that I was recuperating in An Siquan, and she was afraid that Xiu Qiao would harass me, so she gave me this bracelet to frighten her."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiu Qiao stood up when she was excited, and looked down at Hu Chun condescendingly, her eyes full of hatred, "The Qingxiao Bracelet can adjust the wind and tide in the world. It is a peerless treasure. Can the concubine Tian give it to you? What do you think?" what!"

All the immortals made a sound of approval.

A heavenly soldier came in with a tray at the right time, and a small bowl was placed on the tray, "For Your Majesty, this is the bone-shape jar found on the body of the fox demon."

This was tantamount to exposing Hu Chun's "lie". All the immortals looked at Hu Chun with contempt and condemnation.

Hu Chun was seriously injured internally, just now he was only supported by a cavity of anger, but now he was completely defeated, with a thousand arrows in his heart, he vomited a big mouthful of blood, and the skirt on his knee was dyed bright red.Hu Chun looked at Xiu Qiao tremblingly, it was her who held a grudge against Concubine Tian, ​​and she had the opportunity to sneak attack and kill Concubine Tian and destroy her body and traces!
"It's you! You did everything! You framed it! You hate Concubine Tian..."

Xiu Qiao sneered, and said to He Tiandi and the immortals: "Everyone, look at this rascal's sophistry of this fox demon, his face is so ugly!"

The Emperor of Heaven also hated Hu Chun very much, and said in a hateful voice: "Procrastinate until he confesses all his crimes."

Hu Chun was dragged out by the heavenly soldiers, and she knew that she would definitely die, "I didn't kill Tianfei! I didn't kill!"

It doesn't matter anymore, she can't plead guilty!After she died, how did Yong Wei face this result?Hu Chun was so desperate that she fell into an ice cave, her fingertips were numb, what should she do?She didn't even have a chance to get revenge!What about Yongwei?Can Yong Wei come to rescue her in time?It can't be saved... It doesn't matter, you have to listen to her tell the truth!Always know she didn't kill his mother!

"Yongwei—Yongwei—" Hu Chun shouted his name hoarsely along the road, wondering if the mourning from the Nine Heavens could reach his ears?

A basin of ice water, like countless awls, sent the biting chill from every pore of Hu Chun's skin deep into his flesh.

Hu Chun trembled violently and woke up—she was drenched, the cold sweat from the pain just now was covered by icy water, she didn't even have the heat to drive away the chill, so she could only let the cold clothes stick to her body, cold to the bone inside.She felt like she was lying in an ice cave, her hair was dirty and icy, and she looked like a dilapidated corpse.

She took Zuogu Pills, and deeply experienced the pain of bone fractures and tendons. It was so painful that she felt that she could no longer hold on. As long as she paused for a moment, she would never breathe again.

The heavenly soldiers ordered a few charcoal pots, not for heating, but for roasting red irons, and the sound of crackling charcoal, each string made Hu Chun's soul fly away. She was really afraid of beatings and pain.

"Fox demon, at this point, you will die if you recruit, and if you don't recruit, you will die. Why suffer?" said the heavenly soldier who fed her Zuogu pills.

Hu Chun's face was covered with wet hair, and when she smiled, her hair stuck to her teeth. It was uncomfortable and disgusting, but she still smiled—of course she knew that she was dead anyway, but she couldn't recruit, she couldn't bear the burden of killing Yong Only the mother's crime.

She has never been a firm person, a little petty gain can make her succumb, and a little harshness will make her subdue and beg for mercy, but this time she gritted her teeth and persisted, she really can't admit it, even if she dies It's so painful...she can't recognize it.

When the cramps caused her whole body to curl up stiffly, she really wanted to give up, as long as she said "I killed it", just four words, and she was relieved.But what about Yong Wei?What about Yong Wei who hugs her and pampers her?
No matter how painful she is, it seems that there is not much time left, and Yong Wei still has a lifetime.

"The witness is here." Someone announced.

Hu Chun couldn't move, and could only hear the rustling of long skirts, until Xiuqiao Lingqiao appeared in her field of vision. When Xiuqiao saw her, she screamed and took half a step back, but Lingqiao held her back indifferently.

"What are you afraid of?" Ling Qiao said disdainfully, her cold eyes fell on Hu Chun, as if she wanted to see her in every detail.

Hu Chun smiled wryly in his heart, the anger that Ling Qiao suffered in Shitang Palace back then is completely relieved now, right?
"Fairy Xiu Qiao, the Heavenly Emperor wants you to confront the fox demon again, and make sure she confesses her crime willingly." Tian Bing said.

Xiu Qiao didn't dare to look at Hu Chun, but stared at the cold iron fence with flickering eyes, and said angrily: "I have seen everything, fox demon, don't make unnecessary denials anymore. Don't ask for trouble, give it to me quickly." Heavenly Concubine Empress pays with her life!"

Hu Chun didn't answer, she didn't have the extra physical energy to mess around with Xiu Qiao, wouldn't the whole heaven only believe in Princess Chen and the fox demon from the lower realm?What did she say?
"Why..." Hu Chun struggled to breathe in order to speak, "Why did you hurt me?"

Just to avenge Yong Wei's enmity, there is no need to do such a desperate job.

"Who... who hurt you?" Xiu Qiao was about to open her mouth, when the red coals in the pot exploded violently, which startled her, and her voice became weak and timid when she spoke again.

"Shameless fox demon, you're still full of sophistry up to now, who hurt you? It's clearly you who hurt people!" Ling Qiao cut the conversation coldly, speaking righteously.

The Heavenly Emperor happened to take Yong Wei into the dungeon at this time, and when he saw the torture tools, he frowned in disgust.

Hu Chun heard Yong Wei's footsteps.

She raised her head desperately, and tears flowed out in an instant, he is here, he is finally here!
Yong Wei was also looking at her through the iron fence, with expressionless eyes and cold eyes.

As soon as Hu Chun touched his eyes, his heart instantly shattered into powder.

The only bit of strength that supported her disappeared in an instant, she lowered her head slumped, and made a muffled sound on the ground.He believed it?
"The facts are all there, and it doesn't matter whether there is a confession or not." The Emperor of Heaven spoke, tired and disgusted, "A confession of a crime is a happy death, and a stubborn resistance is a painful death."

Hu Chun closed her eyes, she didn't want to look at Yongwei anymore, she didn't dare to look at him, even though she was expecting him to come every moment of the agony.

She firmly believed that he believed in her, that he would protect her, and even if he couldn't save her, he would fight for her.

But with just one look, everything is over.

It turns out that one look can fall in love with someone, but one look... can also hurt someone deeply, more painful than any words or actions.

"Hu Chun." Yong Wei's voice was very low, but very calm, without any emotion or emotion. "Plead guilty."

Hu Chun fell there, motionless, but tears fell one by one, melting into the cold water without a trace.

"I don't want to know the reason." Yong Wei turned around, ready to leave, "Plead guilty, you deserve to die."

The grievance, the indescribable grievance, immediately filled Hu Chun's chest, she knew she was going to die, she knew better than anyone else, she was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore, she was so cold that she couldn't stand it anymore, everyone would think she deserved to die, She should plead guilty, but Yong Wei can't!She was too sad and unwilling, and suddenly gained strength, and grabbed the cold iron fence all at once, her hands seemed to be frostbitten instantly, but she still clung tightly.

"I'm not pleading guilty for myself! I'm not for myself!" she hissed, tears streaming into her mouth.

She opened her mouth, as if she still wanted to say something, but...no more.

She collapsed, speechless.

"Look, Yong Wei! This is the woman you like!" Yong Wei raised her foot to leave, but Ling Qiao suddenly caught up and grabbed her.

Yong Wei seemed very angry and threw her away heavily.

"You humiliated me everywhere because of such a lowly fox demon! What happened? She killed your mother! All the tragedies are because you kept this fox demon by your side! You gave her a chance! You killed her!" Tianfei!"

The Heavenly Emperor looked ugly and snorted coldly.

Xiu Qiao panicked, stepped forward and grabbed her sister, telling her to stop talking, "Sister, are you crazy? Let's go, let's go first."

Yong Weiyi listened to her indifferently, and suddenly said: "The most correct thing I did was not to choose you. My mother died. She was so kind to you when she was alive. She even killed Jin Jin for you. Lai. Are you gloating?"

A simple sentence made Ling Qiao stand by the wall in a daze as if she had been slapped across the face.

Yong Wei walked away in a huff, as if he hated everything here.

The Emperor of Heaven sneered at this time, and said lightly: "The daughter of King Chen, you have really humiliated the lintel." After speaking, he ordered the Heavenly Soldiers annoyedly, "Whether the fox demon pleads guilty or not, the punishment of thunder will be executed at dawn."

Hu Chun lay there quietly, not paying attention to her own life and death. To her, life and death were no different.She always had a smile that couldn't be removed, she wanted to laugh, and finally... she didn't have to suffer any more, and finally she didn't have to be beaten anymore.
