The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

King Annan acted quickly. The next morning he sent Liu Yiqing and Mr. Huang to Caishikou to be beheaded.

The charges were collusion between officials and businessmen, corruption and bribery, exploitation of the people, and disregard for human life.

Rong Heqing disguised himself and took Chu Suifeng to watch the execution.

Caishikou was already bustling with people watching a beheading, and with that, the people surrounded the guillotine in three layers, making it impossible to get in or out.

All the officers were dispatched to maintain order and barely managed to keep the people outside.

Chu Suifeng held a sword and led the way, barely finding a place for Rong Heqing to stay.

This inconspicuous corner is just the right place to see what happens on the guillotine.

"What's so good about it? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares when you go back?" Chu Suifeng stood next to Rong Heqing with a sword, separating her from the crowded crowd, with a rather sour look on his face.

Rong Heqing took a painted green bamboo folding fan that she got from somewhere and fanned him intermittently. Seeing that he was a little impatient, she simply fanned him twice and said, "You may be afraid, but you still have to watch it."

Chu Suifeng: "..."

He looked at Rong Heqing as if he was a fool.

Rong Heqing: “.”

She really spent money to buy an ancestor.

Whose guard is so arrogant? !

She quickly retracted the fan and stopped fanning him, rolling her eyes.

Chu Suifeng: “.”

While the two were arguing, the official in charge of the execution had finished reading the charges and shouted, "Behead!"

The executioner swung his sword at the two kneeling men. The blade reflected the scorching sun, making people dizzy.

Rong Heqing paused and even held his breath subconsciously.

On the guillotine, Liu Yiqing's hands were tied behind his back. He knelt on the ground, struggling and screaming frantically, but he could not utter a word and could only scream "Ahhhhhhh".

Not right.

Rong Heqing was startled and squinted his eyes to look carefully.

Chu Suifeng suddenly said, "He was poisoned and silenced or his tongue was cut off."

"!!!" Rong Heqing looked at him in astonishment, "You can see clearly from such a distance?"

Chu Suifeng raised his chin and said, "My master told me about similar situations before. Some people are afraid that death row prisoners will reveal secrets, so they will poison them to make them mute or cut off their tongues before execution. This way, even if they go to hell, they will not be able to talk nonsense anymore."

Rong Heqing understood clearly and said, "So that's how it is."

Liu Yiqing was a member of the Xuanwu Guard, and only the emperor had the right to deal with him. It would be a serious crime to execute him without the emperor's permission.

However, as long as his identity was not revealed, the King of Annan could play dumb and say that he knew nothing and was just killing a corrupt official according to the law.

The Dajing law stipulates that the princes and dukes with fiefs have certain powers to supervise and deal with officials in their fiefs. If an official commits a heinous crime, he can be executed first and then reported to the emperor. The King of Annan took advantage of this loophole, and the emperor could not do anything even if he wanted to investigate.

The executioner raised his knife and cut down two lives. The heads fell on the stage with a thud, and rolled twice, revealing two pairs of eyes that were still open in death, staring at the crowd. The fear before death still remained on the two faces, and their faces were extremely hideous.

The smell of blood splattered and spread, making people feel sick.

The people were in an uproar; some clapped and cheered, some sighed and lamented, and some took the opportunity to teach their children a lesson. All kinds of voices mixed together and were blown in all directions by the wind, making a deafening sound.

Rong Heqing felt a buzzing in his ears and couldn't help but tilt his head and close his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a plain white silk handkerchief with an orchid embroidered on it. It was fresh and pretty, and successfully cleared her eyes.

She looked up along the handkerchief and met Qin Yunxian's gaze.

She suddenly realized that this name really suited him. He was free and easy, calm and relaxed, and even in a bustling city he seemed to be in a world of his own.

Qin Yunxian maintained the posture of handing over the handkerchief and gently shook his hand, "No?"

Rong Heqing reached out to take it, his expression changed, and without saying anything, he waved his hand and rushed out of the crowd.

Chu Suifeng was stunned, glanced at Qin Yunxian, and hurried to catch up.

Rong Heqing ran to a corner and vomited as soon as she stopped. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything in the morning, so she was just dry heaving and at most vomited some acid water.

She heard the rubbing sound of a wheelchair behind her. She leaned against the wall without looking back. She took a long while to suppress the nausea before she stood up and wiped her lips.

A bowl of water was handed to him from behind. Rong Heqing turned around and saw that it was Chu Suifeng.

Chu Suifeng was helpless, "I told you not to watch it, but you insisted on watching it. You are asking for trouble."

Rong Heqing took the bowl with trembling hands and took a big gulp, then waved his hand to signal him to move away.

Chu Suifeng took a few steps back and was level with Qin Yunxian. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, what is the matter with you following us?"

Guan Zhen behind Qin Yunxian frowned and was about to step forward, but Qin Yunxian raised his hand to stop him.

The word "we" made his eyebrows move slightly, and he looked at Chu Suifeng again.

He stared at Rong Heqing as he finished rinsing his mouth, and said softly, "Come and ask for the handkerchief."

Rong Heqing's back froze, and he turned around and asked hesitantly, "Then I'll wash it and give it to you?"

Qin Yunxian smiled and said, "It's just a joke. Just throw the handkerchief away. Princess, are you feeling better now?"

Rong Heqing straightened up, nodded, and unceremoniously threw the handkerchief into the corner to cover the mark.

"Much better. Thank you for the handkerchief, Your Majesty. I will return a new one to you some other day."

She complained about herself in her heart. She had said she would never see him again, but now she owed him a handkerchief. Is this a bad fate?

"I'm also curious, why did the princess come to watch the execution?"

Qin Yunxian didn't have the slightest airs of a prince. His true appearance was more profound and tough, but his eyes were extremely bright, and his smile just neutralized that sharpness.

Rong Heqing was dazed for a moment, but when she remembered that the person in front of her was a big sieve spirit, she instantly came to her senses.

"Nothing, just a reminder to myself."

Rong Heqing walked out while talking, Guan Zhen pushed Qin Yunxian and followed behind.

Qin Yunxian looked at her in confusion.

Rong Heqing had no intention of explaining. She spread out her folding fan to cover her forehead and looked up.

The July sun is so hot and bright that you can sweat just by standing for a while, but it cannot drive away the chill in your face and heart.

She was not trying to please Qin Yunxian. She came here just to see what beheading was like, so that she could remind herself from time to time that this was an ancient time with strict hierarchy and human life was worthless, so that she wouldn't forget herself and make a mistake, which would lead to eternal damnation.

After a moment of silence, she calmed down and glanced at Qin Yunxian. Her face was already filled with her usual smile, and her dimples were full of sunshine, looking extremely bright. "Isn't the prince here too? I haven't asked him what you are doing here?"

"Just taking a walk. I have something to discuss with the prince. Would you like to go together?"

"Okay." Rong Heqing raised his hand, "Your Majesty, please—"

Qin Yun nodded, and Guan Zhen pushed his wheelchair over, bringing with it a whiff of faint fragrance.

Rong Heqing's eyebrows moved slightly. The sieve essence was quite tasteful and smelled very good.

Only Li Qiu was left alive in the Xuanwu Guard. After being tortured, Liu Yiqing confessed that he had sent the Xuanwu Guards to kill Mr. Huang and then hired people to kill the Xuanwu Guards. Because he didn't want to serve the emperor anymore and be a secret guard who lived on the edge of a knife. In these years in Nancheng, he had become accustomed to the taste of power.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He can't go back anymore.

He killed Mr. Huang to erase the evidence of his guilt, and he killed Xuanwu Wei to surrender to the King of Annan, reveal his identity, and then discuss cooperation with the King of Annan.

It was a pity that Chu Suifeng showed up halfway and rescued Li Qiu. Later, Li Qiu was taken away by Qin Yunxian's men and given to the King of Annan.

The heads of the surrendered people became death warrants, and Liu Yiqing was completely defeated.

Now the only one who can negotiate with the King of Annan is Qin Yunxian.
