Chapter 230 You Are Not Mu Qingyan
She refused to accept, but the imperial decree had been issued and she had to die.
But she never thought that she would end up like this! Not only did she fail to save her son, she also failed to save her own life.
Before drinking the poisoned wine, the arrogant and presumptuous Grand Princess actually grabbed Wang Quan's clothes and begged him to spare Zhou Yuan's life.
But it's no use.
"Grand Princess, His Majesty gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Who can you blame for ending up like this? The imperial decree has been issued. I respectfully escort you, Grand Princess, on your way..."
The eldest princess was in despair.
She stood up, straightened her dress, touched her hair, made sure she looked presentable, then calmly picked up the poisoned wine and drank it in one gulp.
The gold object fell to the ground with a dull sound, and then the eldest princess died of the poison.
Wang Quan watched her fall to the ground, and left with a normal expression on his face.
Zhou Yuan was originally sentenced to be beheaded in the autumn, but after escaping from prison, he became a traitor and, together with Prince Yong, led troops to force the emperor to abdicate. On the same day, he was taken to the execution ground at Caishikou in Kyoto and beheaded in public.
Prince Chong was taken to the Ministry of Justice prison, the No. 1 cell.
Prince Ling and Mu Qingyan went to the Ministry of Justice prison together.
The pair of lovers standing together were so well matched. This scene hurt King Chong's eyes. "Why are you here? Are you here to bring me poisoned wine?"
Mu Qingyan just wanted to put an end to that dream.
She didn't want to be haunted by nightmares for the rest of her life.
King Chong was the origin of this dream. Now, his path to supremacy has been cut off. Neither she nor the Gu family will end up like in the dream. It's time to end all this.
"I'm not here to give you poisoned wine, I'm here to tell you that it's time to wake up from your dream."
These words were spoken by Prince Ling.
If we were to say who the two people Chong hated the most in his life, one would be King Yong and the other would be King Ling!
They are obviously the same age!
But he is a generation older than me!
He was also born into a royal family, but he had a respectable background! However, he was a victim of the conspiracy of King Yong!
King Yong didn't really take his son seriously! He just wanted to have more help and a springboard in Kyoto!
All these years, he has been controlling his life behind the scenes!
If he was really Concubine Xian's son, he could compete with the Crown Prince openly.
But he is not, he is just a chess piece on King Yong's chessboard!
He promised countless times that as long as he was obedient in Kyoto, he would be appointed crown prince when he ascended the throne. At first he believed it!
After all, it seemed that King Yong had no other children besides him.
It was not until the Queen Mother sent Mu Ruge away that he realized that this person was not prepared for him, but for Prince Yong.
Fortunately, he and Mu Ruge had already reached a consensus that they were in a cooperative relationship, each taking what they needed, and no one should try to trap the other with those illusory feelings, loyalty, and ethics.
Mu Ruge wanted to be the boss, and coincidentally, he wanted to be the boss too! So the two of them hit it off!
It was a pity that the situation he had painstakingly planned for many years was ruined by Prince Ling using a Queen Mother.
But the key to breaking the deadlock is Mu Qingyan!
The Mu Qingyan that he had been trying so hard to get!
If she hadn't intervened, Prince Ling would have died long ago! There wouldn't be today!
"Who are you, anyway?"
He couldn't believe that a woman who couldn't even deal with a fool like Lan Hui before would suddenly have all kinds of skills.
He was present at that poetry reading.
He saw with his own eyes that Mu Qingyan was pushed into the water by her own maid!
That girl, relying on her good looks, even flirted with him!
If Mu Yingyu hadn't jumped down later and held her tightly, those people would have been afraid that Mu Yingyu's death would anger the Duke's Mansion, and Mu Qingyan would have died by then!
"I am Mu Qingyan, absolutely genuine."
"No, you are not!"
Mu Qingyan did not feel guilty about this because King Chong had no evidence to prove that she was not.
"Whether I am or not, it has nothing to do with you, because you are destined not to see the sun tomorrow..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard slow and regular footsteps behind him.
The sound is very distinctive; only the eunuchs in the palace would walk like this.
"Greetings, Your Highness..." The person who came was Wang Quan, who was beside Emperor Jianning.
Prince Ling raised his hand, "Get up..."
Wang Quan stood up, straightened his body, and with the aura of a leading eunuch, he raised his chin and read the imperial edict, "Prince Chong, accept the edict--"
King Chong had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor of Da'an Jianning issues an edict, saying: Chong Wang Junlan has been deliberately planning for many years to disrupt the imperial court, assassinating Ling Wang first and murdering the crown prince later. After investigation, it was found that he is the son of Yong Wang, who attempted to disrupt the royal bloodline and plot to seize the throne. His crimes are unforgettable! Since entering the court, he has committed countless crimes. Now, he is punished for multiple crimes, stripped of his title, and demoted to a commoner. However, considering his royal family origin, for the sake of the royal family's reputation, his body will be kept intact! Give him a cup of poisoned wine! I decree this--"
"The sinner Jun Lan, accept the order..."
After receiving the order, Jun Lan looked at the cup of poisoned wine and recalled his short life. Only three words were left in his mind - not worth it.
"Mu Qingyan, if you were pushed into the water that day and I saved you, would the outcome between you and me today be different?"
At first, he looked down on her because she was vulgar and stupid.
It was during the Qingming Festival Lantern Festival that he gradually changed his opinion of her.
Later, she was attacked in the back mountain of Qingguang Temple, and he chose to stand by and watch in order to maintain his own image.
Unexpectedly, she managed to defeat the gang of thieves with her own skills...
From then on, she seemed to have developed an inexplicable hatred and disgust towards him.
When you want to save it, it's too late.
He looked at her, eager to get a satisfactory answer.
However, her answer was just two cold words, "No."
"Haha...good...this is you. What I like most is your disdain for me...Today, you come to see me off in person, which is perfect..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Qingyan took Prince Ling and turned away.
Jun Lan shouted behind her, "Yan'er! I was wrong! I shouldn't have listened to Mu Ruge's provocation and treated you like that! I was wrong!"
Mu Qingyan paused, and after a long while, she turned around and said, "The past cannot be erased with a simple statement like 'you were wrong'. If you also think that the dream is true, then I will cut you into pieces! For myself, for the Gu family, for Qin Sangbai, Yang Yi, and for Old Master Qin!"
After that, while Jun Lan was stunned, he kept walking, turned his back to him, and said, "You should die quickly. On the Yellow Spring Road, next to the Naihe Bridge, there is a wronged soul waiting to settle accounts with you..."
