Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

A teenager was brought in on a stretcher.

The two guards came one behind the other, and when the boy was placed on the ground, everyone present gasped.

Taifu Qi even stood up involuntarily and looked at the young man on the stretcher in shock: "This... what does this mean?"

The boy on the stretcher was so thin that he was only skin and bones, his face was sickly pale and emaciated, and his gray clothes were still stained with blood, which was obviously caused by long-term whipping.

The most important thing is that this young man's wrists are chained, and he looks really miserable.

Chu Shangshu's face was already pale and colorless. When he saw this young man, he shivered for a long time and could not say a word.

The young man moved out from under the stretcher with difficulty and knelt weakly in the palace: "Slave...see the emperor."

"Slave?" Emperor Wu Lie slowly sat up straight, his eyes falling on the young man's face, "How old are you?"

"Fourteen...maybe fifteen, I don't remember clearly."

Emperor Wu Lie didn't want to ask him anymore, so he turned to look at the two guards who carried him in: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Reporting to the emperor, this young man was locked up in the secret room of the eldest young master of the Chu family. When Beizhi found him, he was locked at the head of a wooden bed in the secret room. After Beizhi took him out, the eldest princess asked him a few questions. It was said that his name was Mingzhu, and his name was given by the eldest son. He had no surname, but... But there was an aunt in the Chu family who cried and begged the eldest princess, saying that this young man was the concubine of Shangshu of Chu..."

It was as quiet as death in the main hall.

Several princes and ministers looked at the young man and were frightened for a moment.

Anyone with eyes could see what happened to the boy.

And the Minister of Chu, who kept saying that he was loyal, not only gave birth to a son but refused to raise it, he also allowed his eldest son to abuse his concubine, imprisoning and beating him as a slave?

Chu Shangshu was shaking like chaff and could not utter a single word.

Rong Chun spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is here."

Two imperial doctors entered the palace and paid their respects to the emperor.

Emperor Wu Lie raised his hand and said, "I have many things to deal with today. Imperial Physician Wen will go and make ginseng soup all night to refresh me."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Wen said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please allow me, old minister, to take a pulse on Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu Lie hummed.

Imperial Physician Wen knelt down and took the Emperor's pulse, then left for a moment to make soup.

"Mr. Jiang." Emperor Wu Lie raised his hand and pointed at the young man, "Check him out. I want to know to what extent the Chu family's family tradition can be corrupted."

"yes."

Doctor Jiang stepped forward and took the young man's pulse.

It was so quiet in the main hall that you could hear a needle drop.

"This young master is in serious physical condition. Long-term lack of food and sleep has led to severe stomach problems, weak foundation, long-term mental stress, and a slight stress reaction. In addition, internal and external injuries are relatively serious..."

As he spoke, he paused slightly and looked at Mingzhu: "I need to take off your clothes and check your injuries. Are you willing?"

Mingzhu looked at him blankly.

willing?

In all these years, no one has ever asked him this question.

Does he have the right to be unwilling?

He raised his hands that were bound by chains and took the initiative to untie his clothes.

It was removed from the shoulders, revealing pale and colorless skin that had not been exposed to the sun for many years, as well as deep and shallow scars on the skin.

In addition to whip marks, there were burns and various other injuries.

The young man's overly docile attitude made Doctor Jiang unable to bear to ask any more questions. Everyone present knew that what happened to him was not uncommon in wealthy families, but no one had ever dared to bring it to the table.

Of course, it is relatively rare to go as far as he does.

It is normal for powerful officials or young men from aristocratic families to have some hobbies. They may be surrounded by maids or book boys who warm their beds. They may go to a brothel in the evening to find a chick, or have some fun in private.

It’s not uncommon for people to be tortured to death.

But if this young man is really the concubine of the Chu family, then Chu Shangshu and his son, and even Mrs. Chu who acquiesced in all this happening, would be too crazy.

Dr. Jiang arranged the young man's clothes and turned to look at Emperor Wu Lie: "Your Majesty, his injury is too serious and his body is also severely damaged. It will take a long time to recover slowly."

Emperor Wu Lie's eyebrows were filled with frost: "Where is the eldest son of Chu?"

"Has been taken to Fengtianmen." The guard replied, "Mrs. Chu is also being taken here."

Emperor Wu Lie was disgusted: "Bring the person here, kill him with a stick right outside the palace."

"yes."

Chu Shangshu collapsed on the ground, frightened and desperate: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"The Chu family has too many crimes. I don't have the energy to list them all. Even listing them makes me feel sick." Emperor Wu Lie said in a cold voice, "Rongchun, make a decree. The whole family of the Chu family will be beheaded in public. There is no need to wait until the end of the autumn. It is recommended immediately. Go out and behead them all, leaving no one behind!”

Rong Chun nodded: "Yes."

Chu Shangshu's vision went dark and he fainted.

"As for this young man..." Emperor Wu Lie turned his eyes slightly and looked at the skinny Mingzhu, "Since Donghuang has rescued him, we will take him to the Imperial Hospital to cure his injuries and nurse him back to health. Let Donghuang decide."

"Yes." Doctor Jiang turned his head and said, "Please, please, the two guards, carry him to the Imperial Hospital."

The two guards quickly carried Mingzhu out.

The palace was very quiet, deathly quiet.

Even though Concubine De's face was pale, her body was shaky, she was shivering all over and wanted to beg for mercy, but she was so horrified that she couldn't utter a single word. She only felt that... the disaster was nothing more than this.

Yan Ming knelt motionlessly, with his head down, like a lifeless stone sculpture.

The other princes were even more silent.

There were too many things happening today, and they were too busy to respond, and even the courage needed to accept the facts was almost insufficient.

They didn't expect that their father would make Yan Donghuang the heir.

They didn't expect that Minister Chu would be targeted by Yan Donghuang because of his fierce opposition.

They didn't expect that during the house search, evidence of Minister Chu's corruption and abuse of power would be found, and even the dirty and tyrannical behavior of the eldest son of the Chu family would be exposed.

They didn't expect that the eldest son of the Chu family, who was still glorious yesterday, would be beaten to death in front of the palace today.

The Chu family, which was still a royal family yesterday, would be executed today.

They finally realized that their father was not joking with them.

He really wanted to kill people to establish Yan Donghuang's authority.

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Chu's heart-wrenching voice rang out outside, "I am innocent! I am innocent!"

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!" The eldest son of the Chu family wailed, shocking everyone in the hall and making them shudder.

Emperor Wu Lie frowned: "Shut their mouths."

Rong Chun hurried out and whispered: "Shut their mouths quickly, if you disturb the emperor, you will have your heads chopped off?"

The mouths of the mother and son of the Chu family were quickly blocked.

The eldest son of the Chu family was pressed down in front of the hall, and the heavy court stick fell on him again and again, causing him to suffer and struggle.

Because the emperor ordered to be beaten to death, the guards who executed him did not need to care about the strength, but just did it, but four people held him tightly, so he could only endure the pain, and a painful cry came out of his throat.

Mrs. Chu knelt aside and struggled desperately.

When Rong Chun turned around and entered the hall, he saw a person walking in the distance with a slender and thin figure and a terrifying aura.

He hurried into the palace, walked up to Emperor Wu Lie and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is back."
