Accidentally dressed as an empress

Yun Jue, who was confined to Jingzhi Palace, looked haggard, pale, with a loose belt around his waist, and had lost a lot of weight.

Yun Zhi stepped into Jingzhi Palace to visit Yun Jue, only to see him lying on the couch. He looked as sick as a willow, and could be blown down by a gust of wind. It seemed that his spirit was broken and he had already decided to die.

Yun Zhi shouted in a trembling voice, "Fifth Brother..."

Yun Jue didn't give her a good look at all, "Why don't you go to His Majesty's place to pay your respects morning and evening? Why do you come to visit a useless person like me?"

Yun Zhi's eyes were filled with heartache. He brought the porridge and walked to the bedside and said, "Fifth brother, eat something."

Yun Jue turned his face away.

Yun Zhi lowered his head and said, "I heard that after Zhang Guishi died, His Majesty ordered that her body be cut into pieces."

When Yun Jue heard this, his eyes rolled back and he was about to faint again. Yun Zhi quickly put down the bowl of porridge, hugged him, and patted his chest gently to help him breathe.

Yun Jue's eyes were as red and swollen as peaches. He had cried too many times in the past few days and now he couldn't cry even if he wanted to.

Yun Zhi added, "The Third Princess will be executed at noon today."

Yun Jue was like a rabbit that had been stepped on. He said anxiously, "Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you!"

Yun Zhi hugged his shoulders and said, "I won't leave! Fifth brother, forget about Third Sister, okay? You still have me."

"Get out of here!" Yun Jue yelled angrily, unable to catch his breath and started coughing violently.

Yun Zhi patted his back gently, "Fifth brother, I can let you see her one last time."

A glimmer of light finally appeared in Yun Jue's lifeless eyes, and he asked, "Can you really help me? What do you want?"

Yun Zhi hugged his waist tightly and said, "I don't want anything. I just hope you can get better and be my good fifth brother again."

Yun Jue grabbed her arm tightly, pinching it until it bled, like grabbing a lifeline, "Can you take me out of the palace now?"

Yun Zhi nodded and said, "You should eat first. Only after eating can you have strength."

Yun Jue reached for the bowl in front of the couch, "...I'll eat, I'll eat right away..."

Yun Jue drank the porridge in big gulps and looked at Yun Zhi with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Yun Zhi watched him regain some of his vitality, breathed a sigh of relief, and changed Yun Jue into a palace maid's clothes and put on a veil.

Yun Zhi took Yun Jue to the palace gate and left in a carriage. Since there were rumors in the palace that the seventh princess, Yun Zhi, was expected to become the next crown princess, no one dared to stop her carriage.

West city

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless, and the crowd gathered in the open space in front of the execution platform.

I saw a wooden prison van coming over, carrying a man with disheveled and dirty hair.

"She is a traitor!"

"It's all her fault! My whole family was burned to death by the Rong rebels! Wuuuuuu..." As he said that, a passerby threw a stone at him.

Immediately afterwards, vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown onto the prison van, but the people on it did not react at all.

"Aji! Aji!" Yun Jue shouted, "I know you are innocent!"

Yun Zhi quickly covered Yun Jue's mouth and took him back.

Yun Jue was already in tears as he struggled.

When Yun Zhi saw it, he saw two lines of blood and tears, and was shocked.

On the stage, the executioner, with a mouthful of strong liquor, sprayed it on the sword. The chief prosecutor, Li Min, who was supervising the execution, said, "The time has come. Execution!"

Yun Ji's head rolled down from the platform and was taken away by a mangy dog ​​that ran over.

Yun Jue witnessed this cruel scene with his own eyes, "No - Aji -"

Yun Jue struggled to break free from Yun Zhi's restraints and rushed forward, but he couldn't. He stretched out his hand towards her, tears of blood rolling down his cheeks.

On the way back to the palace, Yun Jue felt numb all over.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. He was so grief-stricken that he couldn't even shed a tear. His father had been murdered, and so had his beloved sister. From this day on, he had no one to rely on or care for in this world.

Yun Zhi brought Yun Jue into Jingming Palace and into her own room. She lived next to the Sixth Princess' room.

Yun Zhi settled Yun Jue in the room and tried to comfort him in every way, but Yun Jue was like a wooden man, not moving at all.

It was night, and Yun Zhi had already gone to bed. Yun Jue quietly got up, left Yun Zhi's room, and walked back to the room where Yun Ji had lived in the dark.

His fingers brushed across the thick dust on the furniture, and looking at the empty room reminded him of the past. He once played Liubo chess with Yun Ji on the couch, and she had never beaten him.

He once hid behind the screen and watched Yun Ji change clothes.

The time I spent in Jingming Palace was so carefree.

Yun Jue suddenly remembered something. He walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and uncovered the secret compartment. He reached in and felt a cold metal touch. Inside was a dagger.

Yun Ji likes to collect weapons, and she intended to give him this dagger for self-defense, but he was not good at martial arts, so she kept it safely in a secret compartment and said she would give it to him when he needed it.

midnight

Yun Jue left Jingming Palace, dodged the guards, and walked in the palace. In a flash, he entered Changning Palace and walked all the way to the front of Juanshu Palace.

The Juanshu Palace was pitch black and unguarded. Yun Jue tightly gripped the dagger in his arms and tiptoed into the Juanshu Palace.

The candlelight suddenly became brighter, and Commander Wu led the guards with knives to open the hall door and step into the hall.

"So it's you." Yun Se sat on the couch and saw Yun Jue holding the dagger tremblingly. She asked, "You want to kill your mother? I gave birth to you and raised you. Give me a reason?"

Yun Jue took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, what did my father do wrong? Why would you treat him so cruelly?"

Yun Se's brows didn't even move. "He wants to rebel."

"Your Majesty! He is innocent! My father is a simple-minded man, how could he possibly have been framed by others? How clean is the man in Jingxin Palace? Yet, Your Majesty trusts him and lets him rule!"

"Zhang Fan and Lin Hong are different." Yun Se said calmly. She knew they both betrayed her, but Zhang Fan was too stupid and deserved to die. Lin Hong, on the other hand, had his own value.

"Why is Your Majesty always so prejudiced and biased? Why are both my eldest and third sisters, both princesses, guilty of purchasing slaves? Why do you assume the third sister is the culprit? My third sister saved Your Majesty, yet Your Majesty killed her without any reason!

Your Majesty never talks to us about blood ties, so why should we follow filial piety?

I came here tonight with no intention of returning alive! Your Majesty is immoral. One day, someone will overturn this world and reverse the yin and yang! I curse Your Majesty, curse you to lose your kingdom! Lose the one you love! Be betrayed by the one you trust the most!

Yun Se sneered, "You will never repent. The universe has its destiny, and yin and yang have their fixed numbers. How can they be changed by your curse?"

Yun Jue shouted loudly, "Kill me now! Your Majesty killed my father and my sister! Your Majesty is heartless! Kill me too! I don't want to live anymore anyway!"

He was determined to die and was stubborn. Yun Se said coldly, "Then as you wish, I will send you to see your good father and sister! Wu Han!"

"No need!" Yun Jue rushed towards the guard's gleaming blade, and resolutely cut his neck with the tip of the blade, and the blood dyed the white jade floor tiles red.

To die by a sword is a sign of honor.

Yun Se ordered that the bodies of Yun Jue and Yun Ji be hung on the city wall and left exposed for three days to be eaten by crows.
