Chapter 428 Beheading
The next morning, Li Chu had stayed at Zheng Wan's place the previous night because she had gone to mediate. Li Wanqing had also gone the previous day, but Li Chu hadn't visited the Biluo Courtyard. Cuizhu was a little discontented and asked, "Madam, you also went to Wangyuexuan to visit the princess yesterday. You chatted with her for a long time and even copied scriptures for her and the heir. Didn't His Highness even come to see you?"
At this moment, Li Wanqing did not feel jealous, but she was a little worried whether the matter had been handled properly, and she didn't want Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao to find out anything, so Li Chu left her alone.
So she lowered her voice and asked, "How are you doing with what I told you two to do? Are you sure you didn't reveal any flaws?"
Knowing the gravity of the situation, the two nodded and repeatedly assured Li Wanqing that they hadn't revealed anything. Only then did she feel relieved. She said, "Remember, don't make any other moves for now. Just stay with me and copy the scriptures."
The two looked at each other and agreed in unison.
In this way, the Guangping Palace finally enjoyed a period of relative peace and tranquility. Worried that Dugu Jingyao might become bored, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, after consultation, granted Li Ruo the opportunity to leave the palace several times a month, allowing her to accompany Dugu Jingyao, relieve her worries, and add to her enjoyment.
As the days passed, Li Chu and others gradually realized that the strategies they had planned before did not seem to have the expected effect.
Meanwhile, although Dugu Xin still had a thick bandage on his head, thankfully, his dizziness, vomiting, and other discomfort symptoms had disappeared. Therefore, Li Chu decided to personally go and greet Dugu Xin as he returned to Chang'an City.
The moment Dugu Xin entered the Chang'an city gates, everyone's anxiety finally eased. This event also became the perfect opportunity for Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao to reconcile. The two meticulously planned and staged a brilliant play, resolving any past rifts and misunderstandings between them.
After this dramatic reconciliation, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao quickly returned to their former, loving, loving relationship, as if nothing had happened. They once again enjoyed an enviable life, inseparable and devoted. Whether strolling through the courtyard admiring the spring blossoms and autumn moon, or cuddling together to admire the twinkling stars, every moment was filled with warmth and romance.
The day after Dugu Xin returned to the city, An Lushan and his men were beheaded, and it snowed in Chang'an City today.
Originally, Dugu Jingyao also wanted to go and see it, but was stopped by Li Chu, Liu Jingyue, Shi Jian and Si Jian.
Firstly, the baby was finally seated firmly, and the roads were slippery in the snow. If any accident happened again, it would not be worth it. Secondly, beheading is a sin against one's virtue, so it is best not to bring the child to watch it up close, even if it is still in the womb. Furthermore, there are many people watching, and it would be bad if someone took the opportunity to harm Dugu Jingyao and the baby in her womb.
After being persuaded by many people, Dugu Jingyao had no choice but to give up the idea and stay in Wangyuexuan honestly, and send Dugu Xin, Li Chu and Dugu Moyan as representatives to take a look.
But this time, no one helped Shi Siming escape from prison, because all the members of the An family were dead, and the Shi family didn't know he was still alive. This time he was really going to be beheaded.
Unfortunately, the people in the Xin Mansion knew that An Lushan and Shi Siming were going to start a rebellion together, and last time only Shi Siming and that hateful Zhang died, so Xin Yunrou actually hated An Lushan. If An Lushan had not taken the lead, Shi Siming would not have died, and the Shi family would not have disbanded!
So today, when An Lushan and his men were beheaded, Xin Yunrou also came to watch the execution. After all, Shi Siming had been married to Xin Yunrou for more than ten years, and when he saw Xin Yunrou at a glance, he suddenly felt regret, but there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Besides several criminals awaiting execution, there was also an executioner on the stage. This executioner was none other than Dugu Xin. The Emperor knew that Dugu Xin had been injured by An Lushan, and considering his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, it was only natural for him to be the supervising officer.
After An Lushan and his companions were pushed onto the execution platform, An Lushan saw that the executioner was Dugu Xin, and he laughed and shouted, "Dugu Xin, you are a worthless man, what good is there in following a dog emperor?"
Dugu Xin ignored him, thinking he was being too noisy. An Lushan felt bored and said, "God is really going to destroy the Tang Dynasty! A tyrant emperor and a bewitching concubine who has bewitched the emperor. The Tang Dynasty is in danger!"
Dugu Xin finally spoke up to stop him: "Shut up! Don't forget, you acknowledged the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine as your godfather and godmother. Without them, how could you have the capital to rebel? Forget it, I am too lazy to waste time talking to you."
Dugu Xin looked at the time and glanced at Xun Feng who was standing beside him. Xun Feng nodded and said, "The time has come. Execution!"
Dugu Xin threw the chip with the word "behead" into the air. The executioner took the beheaded chips from behind An Lushan and others, and then sprayed wine on the sword.
An Lushan felt a chill on his neck, so he shouted: "Haha, I will be a hero again in eighteen years!" Then he swung his knife, and the blood dyed the white snow red. Everyone gasped, and the Anshi Rebellion ended.
