C107 Part3

....

In the early morning of the next morning, many Officials and soldiers posted notices on major streets, attracting many people to watch.

Just a few days ago, they had just showed the public execution of the two criminals Officials, and today more people were going to be cut to the public?

How the Imperial Court be killing people every day like this every day?

The people of the Imperial Capital had heated discussions, and they were puzzled by the Court's practice, because it was too scary to kill people in public.

"The waist cutting is similar to the head cutting, however, it's too bloody, and the corpses ends up split in half."

"Who is it this time that will be shown to public execution?"

"Isn't it written on the notice?

It's someone from a foreign country, who has killed many people.

That's why the Imperial Court wants to show them to the public execution with a big fanfare."

"It turned out to be a foreign criminal!

Then they should be killed!"

"Is the waist cutting execution really that bad?"

"That's natural! It's terrible to cut someone in the middle..."

Among the crowd of onlookers outside, there was a person with a different appearance, and the hat he was wearing was lowered, and then he walked away quickly.※

※※(N.B.) Now that I'm translating this, I realized that, there's a small possibility that this person here isn't just one of the subordinates of the Third Prince, but he might be "someone else" who was looking secretly at the movements of the Palace and a certain someone...(LUL)

I might be wrong, but if he actually is the 2nd ML who was lurking and checking on her for the first time, that would be pretty dope, and would explain why later on he'd appear, in a similar way.

But this is just a guess. So I might be wrong, and this might just be one of the subordinates that sneaks in to check on the situation for later attack.

Anyway, HYPE at the idea he might have been here at his moment already.

※※

Royal Palace.

Murong Ci ate breakfast and came to visit Murong Yu.

He hadn't awakened yet, but the blue color on his face had faded.

She sat on the side of the bed and stared at him calmly.

It was hard to imagine that a man who was so powerful and strategizing would fall asleep quietly and defenseless like this, letting others slaughter him, without any resistance.

If it were in the past, she would have taken this opportunity to cut him a thousand times to vent her hatred.

However, this time was different.

Although she had the urge to kill him, there were a lot of reasons to stop her from doing it.

In a word, she couldn't do anything anymore.

She didn't know whether she would regret it in the future, or what the consequences would be if she felt soft-hearted now, but she knew he couldn't die now.

Murong Ci held his cold big hand, remembering their entanglement in the past few months, what he did to her, what he said to her, momentarily joyful and momentary sad...

"Will you expose the secrets of this Prince?"

"Will you replace me?"

"Will you kill me and the Emperor Father, and kill our Murong Clan?"

No one answered her.

The two maidservants came in carrying the soup to help Murong Yu take the medicine.

Murong Ci stood aside, watching them help him up, watching them open his mouth and pour the soup in, but he still didn't respond.

She exited the bedroom, stood under the porch and looked at the sky, sighing sadly.

Princess Duanrou, Murong Shi walked quickly and saw His Highness here, and rushed over with joy,

"Your Highness."

Murong Ci glanced at her impatiently and walked forward.

"Your Highness, the street is so lively today, let's go out for a stroll."

Murong Shi smiled brightly, smiling like a summer red flower, delicate and beautiful.

"Your Third Uncle was seriously injured and is now unconscious.

And you're still in the mood to go to the streets?

Don't you want to go and see him?"

Murong Ci glared at her sharply,

"I'm the Crown Prince, with many official duties, so I have no time to hang out with the Princess."

Although she heard the news that the Royal King was seriously injured and unconscious, everyone in the mansion knew that it was strictly forbidden to leak the news to the outside world.

Murong Shi was startled, and was stunned by the scolding.

'Did His Highness eat explosives?'

However, His Highness's angry appearance was still so handsome.

She had heard that the Third Uncle was injured.

In fact, she had come to visit him, but was overwhelmed when she saw His Royal Highness here.

Seeing she had annoyed His Highness, she hurriedly went in to visit the Third Uncle.

Murong Ci walked out, but saw Shen Zhiyan walking towards her, with his eyes dazzled, and his white clothes as elegant and graceful as the moon.

"His Royal Highness."

He bowed his hand.

"Why are you here?"

she asked in surprise.

"When I arrived at the Dali Temple early this morning, I heard that a major event had happened.

I immediately guessed that Your Highness should be here, so I came to try out my luck."

Shen Zhiyan smiled,

"Your Highness, the notices posted on the street spread throughout the Capital, and on my way here, everyone was talking about it. Could this matter have something to do with Your Highness?"

"Let's go to the Side Hall and I'll tell you."

Murong Ci took him to the Side Hall and briefly talked about the arrest of Yue Jing Chen.

Shen Zhiyan was shocked,

"So that's why hat happened with you and the Royal King...

This matter of the past two days was too dangerous, but fortunately, Your Highness was only lightly injured."

She smiled and said:

"You came just at the right moment, and in the afternoon you will accompany me to supervise the execution."

Although she was not afraid of anything, she would certainly feel more at ease with Shen Zhiyan beside her.

He asked worriedly:

"How is the Prince? Isn't he awake yet?"

She nodded and clenched her fists.

"The most hateful thing is that Yue Jing Chen should have passed the secret information of our peerless Army back to Southern Yue."

Shen Zhiyan warmly comforted:

"Your Highness, the South Yue Kingdom is not to be feared, but fortunately it is not the West Qin Kingdom."

Murong Ci's bright eyes burst out with a biting cold light,

"He will be shown to public execution of the waist cutting in the afternoon, and I'll wipe out the Yue Clan's remaining party!"
