Chapter 243 Visiting Xu Miaojin
"Thinking about my life, I studied hard for ten years and flattered others for ten years before I became the prefect of Shanxi, a high-ranking official."
"It's a pity that one careless move led to a complete loss. That's all."
Wang Ganju sighed again, walked up to the execution ground, and looked at the crowd below with a calm expression.
In just a moment, rotten eggs were thrown on his head.
Even though they were not the people under Wang Ganju's rule, they
He did not resist, but only lamented his new prison uniform: "I wanted to look more respectable, but it's impossible in the end."
Zhu Ming sat on the execution platform and watched the executioner push Wang Ganju onto the guillotine.
Among the crowd, two men stood at the front. They did not vent their anger with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs like the others did, but just watched.
Zhu Ming could naturally recognize such a special person at a glance.
Without thinking, I know that these people were sent by the Crown Princess.
After all, for a princess like her, coming to a place like this for execution is really a disgrace to her status.
"Your Highness, the time has come."
The executioner at the side looked at the time and whispered a reminder in Zhu Ming's ear.
Zhu Ming nodded, took out a token and threw it on the ground.
"cut!"
With a flick of the knife, the whole head rolled to the ground.
The people in the audience were so shocked that they covered their eyes.
Seeing Wang Ganju die in front of them, the two men squeezed out of the crowd without saying a word.
Zhu Ming stood up only after all the people who had come to watch the execution had dispersed. He then looked at Wang Ganju's head in silence.
"Bury it."
He said in a deep voice, then turned and left.
Wang Ganju was guilty, and sentenced to death, but he was ultimately just a discarded pawn in the struggle between him and the Crown Princess.
Burying him won't be considered leaving his body exposed in the wilderness.
"Your Highness, where are we going now?"
Liu Jin trotted behind Zhu Ming and asked softly.
"Let's go to Duke Wei's mansion."
After hearing Liu Jin's question, Zhu Ming pondered for a moment.
It's a rare opportunity to get out for a while, so I decided to go to Duke Wei's Mansion.
Xu Miaojin is now, in any case, his legitimate fiancée.
Moreover, Duke of Wei Xu Da was old and his health was deteriorating.
It would be a good idea to go and see more of them while you have free time now.
As he spoke, he changed direction and walked towards the Duke of Wei's mansion outside the venue.
"Your Highness."
Ever since Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin got engaged, everyone in the Duke of Wei's mansion has become more polite to Zhu Ming. Whenever they see him from afar, they bow to him.
Zhu Ming nodded and walked straight in.
"Miss, Miss, drink this bowl of medicine!"
As soon as I entered the Duke of Wei's mansion, a burst of urgent shouts came from over there.
Then he saw Xu Miaojin running out from the inner room, followed by a maid holding a bowl of medicine.
"what happened?"
Zhu Ming grinned wickedly, grabbed Xu Miaojin who was trying to escape, and asked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Xu Miaojin, who was not afraid of anyone on the battlefield, was frightened like this by a bowl of medicine.
"you……"
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming who walked in with some surprise. Just as she was about to say something, the maid who had been chasing her had already walked up to her.
"Miss, drink this bowl of medicine."
The maid carefully handed the bowl over and pleaded.
"I'm cured!"
Xu Miaojin waved her hands in panic, trying hard to break free from Zhu Ming's hands.
"give it to me."
Zhu Ming chuckled and let go of Xu Miaojin's hand, then took the bowl of black medicine.
A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafted into his nose, causing Zhu Ming to frown subconsciously.
The taste of this Chinese medicine was so bitter that it stung his eyes. He suddenly felt that it was understandable that Xu Miaojin was so afraid.
"What happened to you young lady?"
He looked at the maid and asked.
Xu Miaojin looks so energetic, she doesn't seem to be sick.
"The young lady has caught a cold, and the doctor specifically ordered this medicine."
Seeing Xu Miaojin being so honest in front of Zhu Ming, the maid looked at Xu Miaojin as if she saw a savior.
If the young prince hadn't come, these maids would never have been able to catch up with the young lady.
"You go down first."
Zhu Ming glanced at Xu Miaojin, who was standing aside with an indignant look on her face, and asked the maid to retreat.
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Miaojin looked at the medicine in Zhu Ming's hand and subconsciously took a step back.
"Who would have thought that the daughter of the Duke of Wei, who fought bravely in the Shanxi mutiny, would be afraid of taking medicine."
Zhu Ming looked at Xu Miaojin who was so flustered, and the smile on his face deepened.
"What do you know? This medicine is more bitter than my life."
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin pouted and complained.
Zhu Ming didn't say anything else, he just walked up to Xu Miaojin and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead.
I do have a low-grade fever.
"I can't possibly drink that."
Xu Miaojin frowned and took a step back in horror.
Zhu Ming remained silent and took a sip of the medicine.
An unprecedented bitter taste instantly filled his entire mouth.
Xu Miaojin was not exaggerating at all. This medicine was indeed more bitter than life.
Just to make Xu Miaojin drink it strangely, he insisted on doing it without showing any big change in his expression.
"Be good, drink the medicine while it's hot."
Zhu Ming said this and handed the bowl over.
Seeing that Zhu Ming cared about her so much and even drank a sip of medicine himself, Xu Miaojin tremblingly took the bowl from Zhu Ming's hand.
She sniffed it cautiously and pinched her nose in disgust.
He looked at Zhu Ming again, then made up his mind, took a deep breath, and drank all the medicine.
After drinking a bowl of Chinese medicine, Xu Miaojin's beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows twisted into a knot.
After watching Xu Miaojin drink the medicine, Zhu Ming handed the empty bowl to Liu Jin and nodded with a smile.
"good."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Xu Miaojin's head.
They already had a close relationship, and now she was his fiancé, so it was normal for her to behave intimately.
At first, Xu Miaojin wanted to dodge when she saw Zhu Ming's hand, but in the end she just stood there obediently.
"The female general is afraid of taking medicine."
Zhu Ming saw at a glance that Xu Miaojin was still angry about him asking her to take medicine, and he laughed and joked.
"I'm not sick, why should I take medicine?"
Xu Miaojin raised her head, looked at Zhu Ming and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"What are you doing here?"
After she calmed down a little, Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming and asked in confusion.
"I killed Wang Ganju and wanted to come and see you on the way."
Zhu Ming smiled.
"No wonder you smell like blood."
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaojin looked Zhu Ming up and down with disdain.
The execution platform is so far away from the execution ground. How could a person like Wang Ganju be stained with blood?
Zhu Ming knew that Xu Miaojin said this only because she was still a little angry.
"Can it be heavier than when you killed the enemy in Shanxi, female general?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and tapped Xu Miaojin's little head.
We have all been to the battlefield, so why should we be afraid of the smell of blood?
