Children of Loulan

Chapter 307 Time’s up, kill!

The prince was not surprised or displeased by Dal's question, but answered very readily: "According to my observation, Captain Mo is a gentleman. He is not only skilled in martial arts and loyal and brave, but also has noble character and is honest and trustworthy." Hearing the prince's evaluation, Dal finally felt relieved.

Now that he knew that Captain Mo was a trustworthy person, Dale no longer blocked his sister from exchanging letters with him. Seeing his sister immersed in happiness, Dale was sincerely happy for her.

Even if his sister really married Captain Mo and left the palace one day, Daer believed that Captain Mo's good character would definitely give his sister meticulous love and care, allowing her to live a happy life. Thinking of this, Daer couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing gently, and the entire Xuanwang Mansion was immersed in a joyful, peaceful, and joyful atmosphere. The mansion was decorated with lights and red silk fluttering, and the smell of happiness was everywhere.

On this lively day, Baixi and Dale, wearing gorgeous wedding dresses, walked into the hall hand in hand. Their faces were filled with sweet smiles, and they only had each other in their eyes, as if everything around them no longer existed. With the loud singing of the master of ceremonies, the two solemnly completed the ceremony of worshiping and getting married.

However, in sharp contrast, a completely different scene was presented at the execution ground in another direction outside the palace. The once arrogant and domineering Concubine Xian was now wearing a white prison uniform and kneeling on the ground. Behind her stood a burly executioner holding a sharp sword. His face was grim and his eyes were staring at the front seriously, as if he was ready to carry out the cruel punishment at any time.

Concubine Xian's face was filled with sorrow and despair, and her once beautiful face had now turned pale and haggard. Although she was extremely resistant to death and full of desire for life, at this moment, she had no idea whether her father, who had escaped death, would come to save her from the water and fire.

The crowd outside the execution ground was getting bigger and bigger, and people were talking to each other. These people who came to join in the fun were all filled with righteous indignation, pointing fingers at the virtuous concubine mercilessly, and cursing: "This traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people has escaped! His daughter should be killed!"

Just as the executioner was staring at the hourglass intently, waiting for the execution time to come, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the execution ground. Everyone looked closely and found that it was Aidil. He was holding a pot of fine wine in his hand and walked slowly towards the place where the virtuous concubine was. When he came in front of the virtuous concubine, he slowly squatted down and gently poured a glass of crystal clear wine from the pot.

Aidil raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him with complicated eyes, even though her title of concubine had been abolished, and said softly: "Mother, I have something to ask you..." Although the virtuous concubine had lost her noble status, Aidil still couldn't help but call her mother because of the habit he had developed over the years.

Hearing Aidier's words, Concubine Xian trembled slightly. She slowly raised her head and stared at Aidier's face with her bloodshot eyes. After a moment of silence, Concubine Xian finally spoke: "I killed her. I killed her with my own hands. The reason I did this was just to be able to seize your custody. Because since that accident, I can no longer have children..."

Hearing this, Aidil's hands trembled violently, and the wine glass in his hands almost slipped. He stared at the virtuous concubine in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief. He never thought that she would admit it so straightforwardly.

For a moment, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes involuntarily, but he quickly forced himself to hold back the tears. After taking a deep breath, he slowly raised his hand and steadily handed the glass filled with fine wine to the lips of the virtuous concubine.

"Today, I have come to see you off for the last time. This is my way of repaying you for raising me all these years..." Aidil's voice trembled slightly, and it was filled with endless complex emotions.

The virtuous concubine stared at Aidil for a moment with an expressionless face, then opened her mouth without hesitation and took the glass of wine. However, at the moment when she raised her head to drink, a trace of resentment that was difficult to conceal flashed in the depths of her eyes. After drinking the wine in the glass, she put down the glass and looked directly at Aidil with a slightly mocking and complacent look, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised up, revealing a creepy smile.

She thought to herself: Humph, what a fool you are! I have raised you for so many years, and although I have been deceiving you, I have always treated you as my son. Now you have found out that I am the murderer of your biological mother, and you present the false evidence that I murdered the heir to the king to help her get rid of me. But didn't Xilin, whom you trusted, also deceive you?

In this case, then let you live in this scam forever. This is the greatest punishment for you! Thinking of this, the smile on Concubine Xian's face became more hideous and terrifying.

Watching the sand in the hourglass slowly flowing, time passed by bit by bit, and the appointed time was getting closer and closer. The executioner had a solemn look on his face, tightly holding the token in the sign tube, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead. Finally, when the last grain of sand fell, he took a deep breath, pulled out the token suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Time is up, behead!"

With this roar, the token was thrown out fiercely, drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily to the ground. When Concubine Xian heard this shout, her body trembled, and she slowly closed her eyes, with two lines of tears sliding down her fair cheeks. At this moment, her heart was filled with despair and unwillingness, but she was powerless to change the fate before her.

Seeing this, the executioner at the side picked up the wine bowl beside him expressionlessly and drank it all in one gulp. Then, he forcefully sprayed the wine in his mouth towards the cold and shining sword in his hand, as if he wanted to use this strong wine to stimulate his inner murderous intent. Then, he took a step forward, raised the heavy sword high with both hands, the veins on his arms bulged, and used all his strength to chop down at the neck of Concubine Xian.

However, at this critical moment, a sharp sound of "whoosh" pierced the sky. An extremely sharp arrow came through the air like lightning and accurately hit the sword that was about to fall. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the sword deviated from its original trajectory after being hit, making a loud "bang" sound.

Almost at the same time, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Kill!" A dozen men dressed in ordinary people's clothes holding big knives rushed towards the execution ground like tigers descending from the mountains. The appearance of these people was like thunder in the sky, and the originally bustling execution ground instantly fell into chaos.

The people who came to watch the execution were frightened by the sudden change and screamed one after another. They fled around like headless flies, pushing and shoving each other, and the scene suddenly became a mess. The officers and soldiers who had been ambushing around the execution ground also reacted quickly and faced the group of mysterious people who rushed over without fear. The two sides immediately started a fierce fight.
