Chapter 142 Huo Tingxing uses fake death medicine
Day two.
The imperial edict came down quickly.
For a time, the news that the entire Huo family was executed spread throughout Chang'an City.
Shi Xiaoxiao also learned about this from Ah Xing.
Shi Xiaoxiao was having breakfast.
He didn't show any expression when he heard this. This result was destined and there was nothing surprising about it.
Shi Xiaoxiao just spoke when she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Do you know when the execution will take place?"
Ah Xing said: "Tomorrow at noon! Since the emperor's decree, the news has spread quickly throughout Chang'an City. Many people are spitting on Huo Tingxing's actions. Tomorrow will definitely be very lively."
Shi Xiaoxiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Then let's go take a look tomorrow."
Huo Tingxing was in jail, but the Huo family was filled with weeping and shouting.
Huo Tingxing has five concubines, a wife, their children, and servants.
A large crowd of people were crying and making a fuss in the lobby at this moment.
A concubine cried heart-wrenchingly.
"Oh my God, how could the master commit treason and even implicate us? This damn thing, wuwuwu!"
The other concubine couldn't stand what the other concubine said.
"How dare you say that? You're the one who spends the most time with the master, how could you not know that he's committing treason? You black-hearted wretch, you just want to take us all to death with you, and now you're blaming all the problems on the master."
She simply disliked the concubine. Ever since she came to the Huo Mansion, she had been suppressed by the concubine who relied on Huo Tingxing's favor.
She had already hated the concubine in her heart, and now everyone was going to die.
No one is afraid of offending anyone anymore.
They all cursed at people they disliked.
If I don’t curse now, I’ll be unable to curse when I die.
With this thought in mind, a burst of curses came from the Huo Mansion for a while.
"What did you say? You bitch, stop trying to sow discord. Don't think I don't know you've been whispering in Madam's ear, asking her to deal with me. Humph, you're nothing."
"Are good things always better than you, you bastard? You just want to kill us all. Maybe you even encouraged the master to commit treason."
"You... you're talking nonsense. I encouraged him? That idiot, all he does all day is indulge in beauty. And I said it was you, jealous and envious, who encouraged him with the idea of dying together."
Although several concubines lived well in the Huo Mansion, they were now implicated by Huo Tingxing and scolded him harshly.
For a while, all kinds of shouting and cursing were heard from the Huo Mansion, and everyone was being cursed.
Huo Tingxing was scolded the most.
The curious people passing by gathered at the Huo Mansion, which was guarded tightly.
Hearing the waves of unpleasant shouting and cursing, the people pointed fingers at the Huo Mansion.
The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Huo's house could not help but feel incredible.
At the same time, I also feel that the relationship in the Huo family is quite unusual.
When nothing happens, everyone is peaceful and loving.
Now that disaster is imminent, their true colors have been revealed.
One cursed more harshly than the other.
This shows how much resentment has been accumulated in the past.
And Huo Tingxing, who was imprisoned in the prison, would never have thought of the concubines he had always loved.
When he was in trouble, he didn't think about how to save him, but scolded him harshly.
Of course, at this moment he had no time to think about the situation in the mansion.
What he is thinking about now is how to save his own life.
While he was racking his brains to find a solution.
A figure appeared in the prison.
Hearing the footsteps, Huo Tingxing looked up suddenly, and saw that the person coming was the one who could save his life.
A gleam of desire to survive shone in his eyes.
He said anxiously: "Your Highness, are you here to save me?"
The prince looked at him indifferently, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He said calmly, "Don't worry, you are my right-hand man, how could I not save you? It's just that this matter is a bit troublesome, so I have to inconvenience you."
Huo Tingxing's eyes lit up. "As long as I don't die, you can ask me to do anything. I won't be wronged."
The prince nodded with satisfaction, his lips curled slightly, "In that case, from now on, you must obey me in everything. I can guarantee that you will not die."
Huo Tingxing felt a strong sense of joy in his heart, and he kept kowtowing to His Highness.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness saved my life. From now on, I, Huo Tingxing, will do anything for you."
Then, the prince took out a pill from his bosom and said, "This is a fake death drug. Take it, and when you die, I will find a way to transport your body away. Don't worry, the effect of the drug will automatically wear off after three days. By then, you can only live under a different identity. Are you willing?"
Huo Tingxing didn't doubt him and took the medicine excitedly.
His face was filled with happiness that could not be concealed. "I am willing, I am willing. As long as I can stay alive, I will have the opportunity to seek revenge on Shi Yuan, even if it means changing my identity."
What's more, he now has the support of this dangerous and powerful person, even if he has changed his identity.
He can also find a good position for him.
Maybe it's no worse than the current position.
Hearing this, His Highness was very satisfied and very happy with Huo Tingxing's reaction.
As he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Huo Tingxing prostrated himself, "Farewell, Your Highness!"
Watching the man leave, Huo Tingxing looked at the medicine in his hand excitedly.
His eyes gradually became vicious, his cracked lips moved slightly, and a small sound came out from them.
"Shi Yuan, just wait for me. You've caused me so much suffering. I will definitely come back for revenge and make you lose your wife and children, and destroy your family."
Thinking of this, he carefully put the medicine close to his body.
His Highness said that the medicine would only be effective for three days, so he had to seize the opportunity.
But don't take it too early. If you wake up in the middle of the night, all your efforts will be wasted.
You have to wait until the last minute tomorrow to take it to ensure that it is safe.
……
Soon, the sky darkened, as if something unexpected was about to happen.
The gloomy sky made Shi Xiaoxiao feel a little heavy, and she always felt like she couldn't breathe.
She couldn't help but wonder if she was sick, so she took her own pulse.
Yet she was in excellent health.
At the same time, at the gate of Xixiaoyuan.
Ah Xing stood there hesitantly, looking towards Shi Xiaoxiao's room.
Xiaoyuan had just poured out the burnt charcoal ash when she saw this scene.
I walked over to ask her puzzledly.
"Axing, what are you doing here?"
As soon as I walked up to Ah Xing, I found that there was a little girl following behind Ah Xing, who was covered in dust and scars.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Hey, why did you bring someone back? Look at all the mud on him. Did you bully him?"
Ah Xing pulled Xiaoyuan's hand up, her face full of embarrassment, "Xiaoyuan, I didn't bully her, she is..."
Ah Xing paused as she spoke, hesitated, and stammered, unable to say anything.
Xiaoyuan blinked and looked at Axing, "Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"
