The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

At the same time, in the Qianqing Hall, the emperor was furious and his ministers knelt on the ground.

After a moment of oppressive silence, a minister suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, please punish the evil concubine~"

Then, another minister shouted, "Your Majesty, please put the country first and execute the evil concubine."

"Your Majesty, please order the execution of the demon concubine~"

……

The sound was louder and louder, Yu Jinzhou looked at the ministers below with red eyes. After a long time, he sighed softly and said sadly: "Just as you said... I will deal with Concubine Yan!"

After the court was dismissed, Yan Yongchen, the director of the Imperial Observatory and a group of cabinet ministers were called to the imperial study to discuss how to deal with Concubine Yan.

After all, she was the emperor's concubine. Some ministers suggested giving her poisoned wine or white silk so that Concubine Yan could die in a more dignified manner.

The director of the Imperial Observatory had a different opinion. "The coming of the evil concubine is a punishment from heaven to the royal family of Dafeng. I think the evil concubine should be burned to ashes to save Dafeng from bad luck."

"How outrageous." Yu Jinzhou shouted angrily.

Burning to death is undoubtedly one of the most painful tortures. It is extremely cruel to put people on a high platform and burn them alive.

The supervisor knelt on the ground in fear, but still insisted on his opinion, "Your Majesty, please put the country first and burn the evil concubine."

Yu Jinzhou's chest rose and fell violently. After a few breaths, he looked at Yan Yongchen and asked, "What do you think about how to deal with the imperial concubine, Lord Yan?"

Yan Yongchen cupped his hands, his face still as indifferent as before, "Everything is up to the emperor. I think compared with the affairs of the country, the life and death of an individual is not worth mentioning."

Hearing him say this, several people present looked at him in surprise. It was a matter of life and death for his own child, but he could act so indifferent. It was unclear whether he really didn't care or was just pretending to be calm.

After some discussion, the emperor finally listened to the advice of the director of the Imperial Observatory and ordered the execution of Concubine Yan by burning her to death as a sacrifice to heaven.

The news soon spread to the outside of the Meridian Gate, and the students and the people who came to watch the fun all applauded.

In the harem, as soon as Concubine Xian received the news, she rushed to Jinxiu Palace to report it.

When she saw the woman leaning calmly on the soft pillow of the small couch, as peaceful and beautiful as a painting, Concubine Xian was unable to say a word of what she had to say.

Yan Muxi raised her eyes to glance at Concubine Xian, and pointed at the armchair next to the small couch, "How can Concubine Xian have the time to come to my Jinxiu Palace? Please feel free to sit down!"

Concubine Xian stood there for a while, looking a bit bewildered, then slowly moved to the armchair and sat down. After preparing herself mentally, she raised her hand to wave away the servants in the palace, and asked carefully, "Do you know about the events of the previous dynasty?"

Concubine Yan was so calm because she thought that no one knew that she was sentenced to death by the emperor. Unexpectedly, the woman in front of her said calmly: "It concerns my life and death, of course I know."

Even when talking about her own life and death, the woman still had a faint smile on her face.

"Since you know you are going to die soon, how can you still sit still?"

Yan Muxi put the book in his hand on the small table and sighed, "If I don't sit and enjoy the recent comfort, what else can I do? The ending cannot be changed anyway, so I might as well accept it peacefully."

"Accept it, why should I accept it? Go and ask the emperor! He has loved you for many years and cares about you so much. If you ask him, the emperor will definitely change his mind." The concubine was excited. She wanted to immediately pull the person on the couch to ask the emperor to show some mercy.

Yan Muxi's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Jiapin did go and ask for it, but what was the result?"

Concubine Xian wanted to say that Concubine Yan was different from Concubine Jia. The Emperor really cared about Concubine Yan and would certainly not be as cold-blooded and ruthless as he was to Concubine Jia.

But she was not sure how much the emperor's sincerity was worth, and whether it was enough to save Concubine Yan's life. If she herself was not sure, how could she comfort others?

Seeing that she was hesitant and unable to speak, Yan Muxi sighed again, "After today, we don't know if we will have the chance to meet again. As an experienced person, I would like to say to my sister Fengxianfei that in life, except for yourself, everyone else is just a passer-by in your life. There is no need to take it too seriously. It is more important to protect yourself when something happens."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian suddenly felt like crying, but she felt that she shouldn't shed tears in this situation, so she nodded sullenly, "Okay, I will definitely remember Concubine Yan's teachings."

Not long after Concubine Xian left, Qian Manman came in from outside, "I heard from the palace servants that Concubine Xian just came over, is there something important?"

She had heard long ago that Concubine Xian and her daughter did not get along well. The fact that Concubine Xian suddenly came to Jinxiu Palace should not be an ordinary visit.

Yan Muxi thought about it and felt that the matter of the burning punishment would be exposed sooner or later, so she told Qian Manman the truth, "The virtuous concubine came here specifically to tell you that the emperor has issued an imperial decree to punish me by burning."

Maybe her tone was too calm, Qian Manman took a long time to react, and her body fell backwards limply.

Dongyu, who was standing behind, was prepared and caught Qian Manman steadily and helped her to the couch beside him.

The fainting lasted only a moment. After Qian Manman was helped to the couch, her mind quickly regained clarity. She looked at Yan Muxi and said, "Sister Xi, what did you just say? Say it again."

Facing her hopeful eyes, Yan Muxi couldn't bear to hit her again and forced a smile, "Don't worry too much, mother. Things haven't happened yet, so there is still a possibility of recovery."

Qian Manman's lips trembled a few times, and she confirmed with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, does he really want to execute you?"

Yan Muxi nodded, "The emperor has indeed issued an order to sentence me to death."

It is better for A Niang to accept the fact rather than cutting meat with a blunt knife. The storm has just begun and the big wave is still to come. A Niang will have to accept the reality sooner or later.

"Death penalty, death penalty by burning..." Qian Manman muttered to herself for a few words, but soon regained her composure and comforted Yan Muxi with a trembling voice, "It's okay, believe me, mother. Xijie, you will be fine."

Yan Muxi thought that A Niang would cry loudly and was planning to ask Dong Yu to get some calming medicine, but she didn't expect her mother to react so calmly.

A Niang might have been mentally prepared, and now that the nightmare really came, she accepted it calmly.

After noon, the eunuch came to Jinxiu Palace to read the imperial edict. The execution date was set for April 1st, which was seven days later.

Until the Jinxiu Palace was sealed, Yu Jinzhou never came to explain, but Yan Muxi already had a rough idea in his mind.

Although the gates of Jinxiu Palace were closed, the daily rations were not reduced, and three meals a day were all rich and plentiful.

What surprised Yan Muxi the most was that Qian Manman behaved exceptionally calmly, sometimes even laughing about her embarrassing childhood experiences. She didn't look like a mother who was about to lose her daughter at all.

On the sixth day after the palace gates were sealed, at midnight, several masked men in gray clothes broke into the palace. The rain protected Yan Muxi, while Dong Yu faced the enemy alone. Dong Yu was outnumbered and soon lost the upper hand.

"Stop! Who are you? What is your purpose in breaking into Jinxiu Palace at night?" Yan Muxi asked loudly.

The gray-clothed leader did not answer her question, but stated his purpose directly, "If the imperial concubine wants to live, she must leave here with us."
