After being treated by the imperial physician, Concubine Li's baby was miscarried and she herself was out of danger.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li's life has been saved."

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt on the ground to report.

"Well, all of you step back."

The emperor said with a dark face.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial doctors stood up and left.

"Li Xun, you are so brave."

The emperor then looked at Li Xun, who had been kneeling on the ground, and questioned him.

When Li Xun was questioned by the emperor, he gritted his teeth and refused to answer.

The emperor became even more angry when he saw him like this.

"Do you know that you have committed a capital crime punishable by death for all of your clan?"

Li Xun still didn't respond.

He naturally knew that his guilt was serious and would implicate many of his relatives.

But things have come to this point.

He even listened to the Duke of England and had a secret meeting with Huan'er just to save his parents.

The only thing he can do now is to keep his parents from dying. He is no longer able to take care of anything else.

He even felt sorry for Huan'er and his unborn child.

"If you don't want to talk, what's the point of keeping your tongue?

Come, drag Li Xun away, pull out his tongue, and then lock him up."

The emperor said quietly.

Two guards came in and dragged Li Xun away.

Soon, a terrible scream was heard from outside the yard.

The people in the room were frightened when they heard it.

Xiaodie, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened that she couldn't even kneel steadily.

At this time, the emperor looked at Xiaodie with bloodshot eyes.

"Come here, drag this slave away, chop off her limbs, pull out her tongue, dig out her eyes, and throw her directly to the dogs."

Xiaodie screamed when she heard this.

"Your Majesty, please spare this servant.

I have confessed everything just now, and I have told the truth.

Your Majesty, please give me a good death!"

There was no way the emperor would listen to her plea for mercy.

If it weren't for the help of this lowly maid, Concubine Li would not be able to carry out her evil intentions.

How can he get rid of the hatred in his heart if he doesn't severely punish this lowly maid?

"Drag it!"

The emperor roared.

"Yes."

The two maids standing behind Xiaodie quickly covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Zhao felt a chill in her neck.

She didn't dare to even dream of being rewarded or promoted by the emperor.

It was fortunate that the emperor did not vent his anger on her.

She quietly took a few steps back, trying to reduce her presence.

But the emperor turned to look at her the next moment, narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Lady Zhao, do you and Concubine Li get along like sisters?"

When Lady Zhao heard this, her legs went limp with fear and she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I don't have a good relationship with Concubine Li.

If we had a good relationship, she wouldn't have given me the infertility drug."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a moment, and finally said:

"In that case, I won't trouble you any more."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

But after a few breaths, the emperor said quietly:

"Take him away and give him white silk."

"Yes."

Two guards stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Zhao and dragged her out.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!

The relationship between me and Concubine Li is really not good.

Not only is it bad, it's also like water and fire.

Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

The emperor listened to Concubine Zhao's cry for mercy without changing his expression.

He looked at Concubine Li lying on the bed with gloomy eyes and said coldly:

"When she wakes up, she'll have a good rest for a few days.

After he had recovered, he was executed by slow slicing together with Li Xun."

"Yes."

A guard took the order and stepped forward.

Finally, the emperor looked at Yang Furong, who was standing aside without saying a word.

He stretched out his hand, and Yang Furong immediately stepped forward to support him.

"You have been wronged."

The emperor looked at Yang Furong and his tone softened a lot.

"With Your Majesty standing up for me, how could I feel wronged?"

Yang Furong said obediently.

The emperor said no more and pulled Yang Furong out.

But just as he reached the door, his face changed, and then he spurted out a large mouthful of blood with a "puff".

Before anyone could react, he fell straight down.

"His Majesty…"

Yang Furong wanted to support the emperor, but she was unable to do so.

"Someone, call the imperial physician."

Yang Furong said loudly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Jiao'e Palace became tense again.

Finally, the emperor woke up with the help of the imperial physician.

However, after this period, the emperor's health was seriously damaged.

I don't even have the energy to speak.

I can only lie in bed and rest...

For the next seven days, a group of imperial doctors surrounded Concubine Li and treated her.

According to the emperor's request, the imperial doctors used the best medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital to make medicine for Concubine Li to nourish her body.

There are also blood swallows for three meals a day.

For a moment, Concubine Li even had the illusion that the emperor had forgiven her.

However, she knew clearly that there was no way the emperor would let her go.

On this day, just after she finished drinking the last cup of blood swallow's nest, two maids walked in with stern faces.

One of the fatter maids said with a dark face:

"My lady, let's go."

When Concubine Li heard this, she stepped back cautiously.

"Where to go?"

"To the execution, of course."

The fat nanny's tone was cold, and she looked at Concubine Li as if she was a dead person.

“Execution?

Do not…

I won't go. I want to see His Majesty.

Your Majesty has forgiven me, otherwise he wouldn't have sent so many doctors to treat me, nor would he have nursed me back to health."

Princess Li shook her head repeatedly, her lips trembling with fear.

"Of course, slow execution requires a healthy body.

Otherwise, it won’t be able to bear it after just a few cuts.

If that's the case, the expected effect won't be achieved, right?"

As the nanny spoke, a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Lingchi execution?

What effect is that going to achieve?”

Concubine Li turned pale with fright.

"It's like being cut into pieces, with each cut drawing blood but not being fatal.

Only in this way can you experience the torture of a life worse than death.

If you are in such poor health that you die after cutting off a few pieces of meat, that won’t work!”

The fat nanny said viciously.

Concubine Li was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

"No, I don't want to, I want to see the emperor.

The emperor loves me the most, he would never have the heart to treat me like that.

You can’t do that to me.”

"Hehehe...

Could not bear?

When you were climbing up the ladder before, didn't you also step on others without any scruples?

Why, you can’t do it now that it’s your fault?”

The fat maid spoke with contempt, and then gave a look to another maid beside her.

The two of them walked forward in tacit understanding and dragged Concubine Li out.

“No…I’m not going.

Please kill me, please give me a quick death."

Concubine Li shouted, but no one paid any attention to her.

Finally, Concubine Li was taken directly to the Ministry of Justice to be executed.

Li Xun had been tied to the execution stake.

When Concubine Li was brought in, Li Xun's gray eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth but could not speak.

When Concubine Li saw Li Xun, she burst into tears...

She regretted that she should have run away with her cousin when she found out she was pregnant with his child.

Not really, they will both die tragically in the end.
