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

The execution ground was set up beside the moat at the junction of the north and south cities. Before noon, the nearby streets were already crowded with people who came to watch the excitement. Even the cruise ships on the river were packed with people, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country.

At the end of the Chen hour, with thousands of imperial guards clearing the way, the imperial concubine's procession arrived as scheduled.

A stunning woman in a pink palace dress stepped down from the carriage, walked slowly to the rack, and allowed the executioners to tie her body up and hang her up with ropes.

When the woman was dragged onto the nearly two-meter-high rack, her stunning face was clearly revealed to everyone, and there were gasps from the crowd. Everyone was amazed by the stunning appearance of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, and it was difficult for them to utter the vicious words they had said before.

As the sun rose higher, the yamen runners placed bundles of dry firewood under the rack, waiting for the time to light it and carry out the execution.

The woman on the rack had an indifferent expression, her bright eyes occasionally sweeping through the crowd, until the sun rose to its highest point in the sky, then she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and closed her beautiful eyes in exhaustion.

Someone shouted, "Look, the demon concubine seems to be crying!"

Everyone looked intently, but unfortunately the distance was too far. They could only vaguely see the beauty's shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was indeed crying.

People always treat beautiful women with extra kindness. Seeing this situation, many people felt pity for the beautiful woman who had such a tragic fate.

As for the punishment of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, in fact, most people just followed the crowd and did not many people blamed the natural disasters and national disasters on a weak woman. The reason why they came to watch the execution was just to join in the fun and watch the rare sight.

The beauty is about to be burned to death, and soft-hearted people can't help but feel sympathy, and even hope that a miracle will happen and save the beauty.

But the miracle did not happen. At noon, the executioner shouted, "Light the fire and execute!"

Several yamen runners stepped forward, poured kerosene on the circle of dry firewood at the bottom of the rack, and then set it on fire.

The dry wood that was doused with kerosene caught fire instantly, and the flames quickly spread upwards. The billowing thick smoke engulfed the woman in red. After a while, shrill coughing and crying sounds were heard from the smoke.

The timid people did not dare to watch the scene of burning people alive. They either turned their heads away or covered their eyes. Only a few dared to stare.

Soon, thick smoke rushed up to the sky and blocked the sun above. Just as the flames were about to reach the highest point of the rack, water drops suddenly fell from the sky. The water drops gathered more and more and quickly fell in the form of rain mist.

The raging fire was somewhat extinguished by the sudden rain, but not enough to completely extinguish it. The rack had been burned to the point of being on the verge of collapse, and the red figure above the rack seemed like it would fall into the sea of ​​fire in the next moment.

The clear sky suddenly turned cloudy, and some people couldn't help but talk about it, "Why did it suddenly rain? Was Concubine Yan wrongly accused?"

"It's hard to say. In my opinion, this so-called evil concubine who brings disaster to the country is nothing more than a weak woman who is powerless and just looks more charming. She is not worthy of the title of bringing disaster to the country."

"Whether the daughter of the Yan family deserves the title of a demon concubine is not up to us ordinary people to decide, but it is up to the people above. The people above say that she is a disaster to the country, so she can only be a demon concubine. But it's better for the daughter of the Yan family to die like this, so that she won't be ashamed to face her ex-husband, King Dingbei."

"If you think about it carefully, this Yan girl is also a pitiful person. She is just born with a good appearance. She has never done anything evil, but she has to suffer such a cruel punishment."

……

Amid the discussions, people dressed as common people suddenly rushed into the execution ground and started fighting with the royal guards with swords.

"Run! Bandits are robbing the execution ground!"

"You're killing someone, run away!"

The incident happened so suddenly that the onlookers did not react until a fight broke out in front of the execution ground and began to flee in all directions, shouting.

Those who rushed into the execution ground were extremely skilled and cooperated tacitly to entangle the royal guards and rescue the woman from the rack.

After succeeding, the group quickly hid in the fleeing crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Concubine Yan was kidnapped in front of the execution ground, the city gates were closed, the entire Luodu City was under strict lockdown, and tens of thousands of imperial guards searched the city for the criminals.

In Jinxiu Palace, Qian Manman was so sad that she fainted. Yan Muwan learned the news and came to visit her in person with the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician examined Qian Manman's pulse, he said that she was suffering from shortness of breath and palpitations due to excessive worry, and that she would recover after resting for some time.

Seeing Qian Manman lost her soul, Yan Muwan felt bad and advised, "Please mourn for your mother. If the second sister were still alive, she would definitely not want to see her mother so sad."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch hurried into the palace, "Empress, it's bad, Concubine Yan has been kidnapped by bandits!"

Qian Manman suddenly sat up from the bed, "Kidnapped? Is Imperial Concubine Yan still alive?"

The young eunuch looked at Yan Muwan, and after getting permission, he said, "Halfway through the execution, it suddenly started to rain, and then hundreds of bandits dressed as civilians rushed into the execution ground and abducted Concubine Yan. Currently, Luodu City has strictly prohibited the search for Concubine Yan. As for whether Concubine Yan is alive or dead, this servant does not know."

Hearing that Yan Muxi had been rescued, Yan Muwan breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, then frowned and ordered the eunuch, "Go and ask around. If there is any news about Concubine Yan, you must report it to me as soon as possible."

Qian Manman cried with joy, "My sister Xi has been rescued. She must not be dead, she is still alive and well!" After that, she threw off the quilt and got off the bed, kneeling in front of Yan Muwan, "Now that Concubine Yan is no longer in the palace, there is no reason for me to stay in the palace. Please allow me to leave the palace and return home, Your Majesty."

Yan Muwan stepped forward and helped Qian Manman up, "Mother, don't be too anxious. It won't be too late to leave the palace after you have recovered."

"I'm fine. It's okay for me to go back home and recuperate." Qian Manman said as her body suddenly became unstable and shook.

"Mother, be careful!" Yan Muwan screamed, and was caught off guard and was dragged forward by Qian Manman.

Yu Shui and the palace servants rushed forward and supported the two people who were about to fall to the ground.

After Qian Manman was helped back to the bed, Yan Muwan said in a scolding tone: "Mother is so weak, how can she return home? You should rest in the palace for one more day and get better before returning home!"

After seeing off the queen and her entourage, Dongyu pulled Yushui to a secluded place and said, "The young lady is still in the palace. The two of us must find a way to stay in the palace to look for her. We can't let Madam Man take her back to the mansion."

Yu Shui thought about it and told Dong Yu about her doubts, "I think Madam Man doesn't really want to leave the palace."

She had just seen with her own eyes that Madam Man's fists were clenched when she fell to the ground and fainted, and her body was in a tense state. It was obvious that she was pretending to be fainted. And she was pretending to be fainted at this time, and she must have wanted to stay in the palace for the time being and not leave.

Dongyu was puzzled, "What do you mean? The young lady has been rescued, why would Madam Man want to stay in the palace?"

Yu Shui shook her head, "I don't understand either. Is it possible that Madam Man recognized that the person being carried away in the sedan chair was not the young lady?"
