King Qi was captured on the spot and sent to the capital alive. He also hoped that his majesty would spare his life for the sake of flesh and blood.
But King Qi made the wrong idea. From the moment His Majesty the Emperor placed the charge of murdering the prince on his head, he had no way out.
The moment he was sentenced to death, King Qi almost went crazy. He burst into tears and shouted that he wanted to see the emperor.
When the emperor saw him, King Qi looked in a miserable state. After seeing the emperor's indifferent and cold eyes, he also deeply understood that he would die in this situation.
So he did not plead for mercy, but said sarcastically to the emperor: "You think I killed your son, so you want my life, but even if you kill me, your son will not rest in peace!"
Of course, the death of the prince was not caused by King Qi. King Qi said this just to kill the emperor's heart.
As a result, he didn't see the surprise he wanted from the emperor's face. The aloof king said as coldly as ever: "I know, you can go on your way."
This person whom everyone calls a virtuous king is fierce and cruel, showing no mercy at all.
The entire lineage of King Qi was executed, even the children were not spared at all. This was the ultimate in eradicating the weeds.
None of the people involved in King Qi's rebellion could escape, and their homes were either ransacked or exiled.
Historical records record this year: King Qi rebelled, and all those who rebelled were executed.
Just a few words hide all the bloody past events behind it.
Just when everyone thought the chaos was over, the Third Law Division submitted the review results again.
It is said that King Qi's cronies confessed that the Han family of Concubine De's mother was also involved in the rebellion and had a close relationship with King Qi. They even produced secret letters between the Han family and King Qi.
His Majesty was furious, and the Han family executed the clan. Concubine De committed suicide to protect the second prince. The second prince also wanted to defend his mother, but was directly imprisoned by the emperor.
Of course, the secret letter was a forgery. The real crime was that the Han family had killed the prince. However, the blame had already been taken by King Qi, so the Han family could only be guilty of conspiracy.
It wasn't until Han's blood was washed away again that the turmoil caused by Dong Gong's death was truly over.
Those who were punished were rewarded, and the generals who participated in countering the rebellion were all promoted to higher ranks. Xiang Xiuan not only escaped unscathed, but was praised by everyone in the emperor.
The general has no son, and Xiang Xiu'an, a young and accomplished young man, has not yet obtained the meritorious service, but first got a rank of ninth rank in the army.
Although the rank is not high, it also means that he has been appreciated by the emperor. After becoming a noble, the prince will naturally move up. After passing the exam, he can keep going up.
With this first step, Xiang Xiu'an has succeeded.
Seeing that her grandson's future was promising, the wife was very happy. However, the death in the East Palace was a national mourning, and banquets and music were prohibited everywhere, so she could only close the door and have a family dinner.
After the prince's funeral, Qiao Yuandong also returned from the palace.
Grandma and grandson sat together and lamented the past. Madam Tai suddenly remembered that she had not seen Xia Mang.
In the past month, Qiao Yuan's mother-in-law had been running around in the Winter Palace and had no time to spend time with the wife. It was Xia Mang who stayed with the wife to relieve her boredom and chat.
Today, Qiao Yuandong came back, but Xia Mang was nowhere to be seen. The wife was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
When Mrs. Tai asked about it, Qiao Yuandong said: "She asked me for a day off today and said she wanted to go out."
The madam couldn't help but asked with concern: "What can I do?"
Qiao Yuandong was stunned and shook his head: "No."
"This child, why didn't you say anything to me?" the madam complained slightly.
Qiao Yuandong saw it and said with a smile: "Grandma really likes Mangxia."
The madam nodded and said happily: "She is indeed lovable. She has often thought of new tricks to make me happy these past few days. Now that I don't see anyone, I still have some ideas."
Qiao Yuandong smiled as she listened to the Madam telling her interesting stories about Xia Mang, and finally said deliberately: "Grandma gave her to me, and she is not allowed to go back now."
The madam covered her mouth and smiled proudly: "Don't worry, grandma won't rob you."
Xia Mang sneezed loudly while sitting in the carriage returning home. She rubbed her nose casually and muttered: "Who is talking about me behind my back?"
Xiang Xiukai: ‘I guess it’s Dong Niang. ’
Xia Mang: ‘Don’t mess with my Taoist mind. ’
'Are you really going to stop giving it a second thought? It's not bad to stay here. ’
'Why. ’ Xia Mang sighed loudly: ‘Even if my wife doesn’t have me, she still has a family, but my mother only has me. ’
'You know, if you stay in this world, your mother will not remember you. ’
"That's different. I can't worry about her. As for Madam." Having said this, Xia Mang's eyebrows showed a rare hint of loneliness: "I just treat her as if I were destined to be with her." ’
Xiang Xiukai sighed after hearing this: "It's hard to have both feelings at the same time. I'm the one who has tired you so much. I can't help it." ’
Xia Mang calmed down and said calmly: 'It doesn't matter, just treat it as a trip to another world. But I want to ask you, is it really okay to leave grandma's medicine in Jingguan Temple? Will the host forget this after I go back? ’
Xiang Xiukai: 'No, the causal involvement between you and the host is not deep enough. When the time comes, he will just not remember you as a person, but he will remember this incident. ’
Xia Mang felt relieved: 'That's good. ’
As early as when Xia Mang rejected Qiao Yuandong, she began to prepare to go back.
Because Xia Mang found that she was increasingly unable to control her heart. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would never be able to leave.
She is not an indecisive person, she will do it when she makes a decision.
After the prince's accident, Qiao Yuandong disappeared all day, so Xia Mang simply changed his points to someone else, and the madam was the most suitable candidate.
It was during that month that Xia Mang tried various tricks to make Mrs. Tai happy, firstly to earn points, and secondly to satisfy Xiang Xiukai's wish to accompany his grandmother.
After she accumulated enough points to buy medicine for Mrs. Tai, she exchanged the medicine directly from the mall and put it in two porcelain bottles.
Xia Mang considered that once she returned to the present world, people in this world would have their impressions of her erased, so she had to find a reliable person to transfer the medicine bottle to.
Xiang Xiukai gave her an idea and asked her to directly find the abbot of Jingguan Temple in Beijing to do this.
Jingguan Temple is a famous temple in the capital, with strong incense every year. The abbot Huai Kong is a nationally famous eminent monk, so it would be best to ask him to deliver medicine door-to-door.
Madam Tai is a believer in Buddhism. This medicine was given to her by the abbot, so she would not doubt it.
Xia Mang specifically asked Qiao Yuandong for leave today because of this matter.
Everything is ready, it's time to go back.
But before going back, she wanted to say goodbye to Qiao Yuandong properly.
When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was already afternoon. Qiao Yuandong had taken a nap at this time, so it was time for leisure.
If you want to say goodbye, you can do it at this time, but Xia Mang still lingered until night before going to see her when he couldn't wait any longer.
Xia Mang came to Qiao Yuandong's room and found that she had already washed herself, was wearing a snow-white shirt, and was leaning on the couch alone, looking up at the bright moon outside the window.
Perhaps it was especially quiet tonight, and Xia Mang felt a little sad. Qiao Yuandong looked out the window and was lost in thought, but didn't notice her. She didn't bother him, she just stood by the door and looked at the people in the room quietly.
"No, no, it's not what you think!" Xiao Ba, who was living under the eaves, suddenly shouted, frightening the two of them back to their senses.
Xia Mang stroked his racing heart and turned back to glare angrily at Xiaoba, who tilted his head to look at her.
Qiao Yuandong's voice rang out from the house: "When did you come back, and why didn't you come and tell me?"
"Ah, my wife was still asleep when I came back, so I didn't bother her." Xia Mang lied.
"Well, come in and talk." Qiao Yuandong did not doubt that he was there. He sat up from the couch and raised his hand to wave her in.
Xia Mang calmed down, walked into the house, and stopped when he was two or three steps away from Qiao Yuandong.
"Madam, I..." Xia Mang's thoughts became a little wandering when he smelled the faint fragrance on Qiao Yuandong's body. He only opened his mouth and could not say the rest.
Qiao Yuandong waited patiently for a long time but saw no further words from her. He also saw her burying her head and looking depressed.
"But what kind of injustice did you suffer outside?" Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but frown and asked her.
Xia Mang could naturally feel Qiao Yuandong's concern, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"No." Xia Mang shook his head in denial, his voice actually choked with sobs.
Qiao Yuandong heard the tremor in her voice, and the fingers in his sleeves couldn't help but flex.
"Come here." She stretched out her hand to pull Xia Mang to sit next to her.
As a result, Xia Mang suddenly fell into her arms.
Qiao Yuandong was hugged very tightly by Xia Mang, and her head was still rubbing against Qiao Yuandong's neck. The unique woody fragrance became more and more obvious because of the extremely close distance.
Xia Mang clearly felt Qiao Yuandong's body stiffen for a moment, then relaxed, and then a pair of hands touched her back.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuandong's voice rang in his ears, and it sounded particularly gentle at the moment, even with a hint of a smile.
Xia Mang buried his head in Qiao Yuandong's neck, took a deep breath and raised his head, and saw Qiao Yuandong's smiling eyes.
She raised her hands and covered those eyes.
Qiao Yuandong's curled eyelashes gently swept across her palm, causing ripples in her heart.
"Mrs."
"Huh?"
"The person who loves you will love you in any way. You don't have to stick to those rules. Just be happy and live more freely in the future."
Qiao Yuandong smiled inexplicably: "What are you talking about."
Before she could say the rest of the words, she felt a sudden sinking on her lips, and a soft, warm touch came clearly to her mind.
Xia Mang has lived for more than twenty years, but she has really been slow to fall in love. As she has grown, this is the first time she has taken the initiative.
She rubbed the soft lips unfamiliarly. She didn't know whether she was nervous or throbbing, and her heart was about to pop out of her cavity.
It was just a farewell, and there was actually no need for such a kiss.
But Xia Mang felt that it would be a big loss if he was not brave enough to be tempted like this once in two lifetimes.
Anyway, when she goes back, Qiao Yuandong will not remember herself, let alone what she has done.
With this in mind, Xia Mang simply kept doing nothing and pried open Qiao Yuandong's lips and teeth with his tongue, intending to go one step further.
Qiao Yuandong knew very well what Xia Mang was doing.
After a brief moment of daze, great joy followed, and only one thought came to his mind.
Xia Mang is taking the initiative to kiss her. Does that mean she has accepted her?
With her eyes covered, all Qiao Yuandong's senses were concentrated in one place. She felt Xia Mang's trembling, and then her lips and teeth were opened with extremely unskilled movements.
Xia Mang hesitated for a moment, then took a step further.
Qiao Yuandong held her waist, raised his head and let her do what he wanted.
The sweetness on the tip of his tongue spread to the bottom of his heart, and an even stronger throbbing arose from the bottom of his heart, making Qiao Yuandong greedily want more.
However, Xia Mang suddenly let her go.
"Mang Xia." Qiao Yuandong murmured with gleaming eyes, his voice lazily revealing a hint of charming charm.
Xia Mang opened the system interface and selected the "Yes" button.
‘Ding, it has been detected that the host has enough points, return immediately! ’
The light and shadow overlapped in an instant, and Qiao Yuandong in his field of vision went from blurring to dissipating. Xia Mang said silently in his heart: Farewell.
After just being in a daze for a moment, Xia Mang came back to his senses.
She looked around in confusion, and found that she was surrounded by whitewashed walls, and a faint smell of disinfectant lingered around her.
Is this in the hospital?
Xia Mang subconsciously wanted to stand up, and then he realized that he was lying on a hospital bed, with an infusion tube tied to his hand, and the drip on his head was dripping down.
"Wake up, girl?" His mother's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Xia Mang turned his head suddenly and saw that familiar face.
"Mom!" Xia Mang's eyes were sore and he almost shed tears.
Mom Xia Wenmei was obviously not moved by this sincere voice. She nodded to Xia Mang with a dark face.
"It depends on whether you will eat breakfast in the future. Fortunately, you fainted on the sidewalk. What if you fell on the road and were ejected by a car?"
"Huh?" Xia Mang scratched his head and couldn't follow the plot of this world for a while.
Ms. Xia handed the peeled apple to Xia Mang angrily: "Ah, what? You fainted because of low blood sugar. You have to eat well in the future. Look at how thin you are."
"I'm not like that either." Xia Mang wanted to say that he was chubby and not thin at all, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that the original version of himself in the Duke's Mansion was not thin, and he was two different models from the modern version of himself.
"Okay, you should have a good rest. Mom will take you to have a good meal after the infusion."
"Oh."
Xia Mang suddenly remembered that he had crossed over on his way to work, and now that he was back, the time had just happened.
In the eyes of others, she was only unconscious for a while, but only Xia Mang himself knew that she had lived in ancient times for a full year!
