Chapter 348 The Last Respect
Chapter 348 The Last Respect
The princess stepped forward in disbelief, her voice trembling.
Wang Qiu thought of what Gu Qingyuan had said before he came here, clenched his fists, and said to the princess: "It's me, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
When he knew the princess, she was a tough person who was not afraid of difficulties.
She would tell herself that identity didn't matter, and she would still love herself even if he had been married.
But I never thought that in just a few years, she would become such a lunatic who was so crazy that she wanted to drag everyone to death with her.
In particular, I learned from Gu Qingyuan that the princess even wanted to kill the queen, who was her biological mother.
After the princess stood beside him, she pressed his shoulders tightly with both hands. She was so strong that Wang Qiu felt a little pain in his shoulders.
Then she hugged her tightly in her arms.
"Do you know how I've been living these days?"
Wang Qiu lowered his eyes and noticed the gazes of Gu Qingyuan and others not far away. They were all looking at him.
Now he is a member of Tianji Pavilion, and Gu Qingyuan released him so that he can persuade the princess to stop.
Wang Qiu was silent for a moment, then looked at the fire coming from the palace not far away and said to her, "Did you set this fire?"
"it's me."
The princess admitted it directly without any hesitation.
Wang Qiu said worriedly, "There are so many people in the palace, including Her Majesty, your father, and our daughter. How could you bear it?"
When the princess heard Wangqiu mention their daughter, she let go of him and her eyes regained some clarity.
At this moment, Wang Qiu said again: "Actually, we have a daughter, and she is with me now. So, please stop, my wife."
The princess still had a lot to say to Wangqiu, but seeing the fire in the palace growing bigger and bigger, she went back without any hesitation.
Only she knows where the oil is poured, so if she puts out the fire, the effect will be better.
Wang Qiu watched her walk into the fire, and then go to report to Gu Qingyuan.
"I've already persuaded her."
Moreover, judging by her plan to return to the palace to put out the fire, it would be useful.
"Cough cough."
The thick smoke made it impossible for people to open their eyes, and the size of the fire shocked everyone.
Gu Qingyuan brought people from the Gu family to the palace to put out the fire. They first went to find the queen.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The queen was trapped in her own palace at this time. Fortunately, the fire in her palace had been put out, and everyone else in the palace was anxiously carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.
"I'm fine."
She frowned and said, "This fire started strangely, and it burned so big. Someone must have started it on purpose."
The moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds. When everyone was exhausted from putting out the fire, a few drops of rain fell on them, and then the rain became heavier and heavier.
“It’s raining, great!”
"Thank God, it finally rained. We couldn't put out the fire even after fighting it for so long."
The rain poured down all night, extinguishing all the blazing fires in the palace.
The princess took advantage of the chaos to return to her palace and saw the little princess fainted from the smoke.
She checked the little princess's breath and confirmed that she was still breathing, and she felt relieved.
A small part of the walls in the palace were burned black. The palace wall that was once repaired by General Gu and his men was now in a mess.
The Queen gathered people together and made a rough estimate, and found that dozens of people died in the fire.
Some of them were burned so badly that their original faces could no longer be seen, including palace maids, eunuchs, and several of her concubines.
She had these people buried.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Crown Princess requests an audience."
At this moment, the empress heard Eunuch Li's voice and said in a deep voice, "Let her come over."
After seeing the queen, the princess fell to her knees.
"Mother Queen, it is I who deserve to die!"
She shouldn't have dragged so many people to death because of the hatred in her heart.
Now the palace has been burned down like this, and she escaped from prison without permission.
I think he will be executed immediately.
However, before she died, she still wanted to see that person again.
The Queen looked at her, her face full of disappointment as she had guessed something.
How could the person she had taught so carefully in the past become like this?
She was blinded by power and was determined to reach the top. After her plan failed, she even maliciously wanted to drag so many people to their deaths.
"You deserve to die."
The Queen has already made up her mind.
When the news of the burning of the imperial palace spread among the people, the common people were extremely surprised.
"Have you heard? The palace caught fire two days ago."
"I took a look from a distance, and the walls of the palace looked pitch black."
"I heard quite a few people died."
While drinking tea, a few lively people were talking.
When the people around heard it, they all went over to ask.
A lot of the palace was burned down, so Gu Qingyuan found the people who had previously repaired the palace wall, and they all worked in the palace even at night.
The princess was imprisoned again.
The prison was far away and was not burned.
The Queen intended to execute her.
The things she did were enough to get her killed a million times over.
With everyone working overtime, the city wall was built faster than they had imagined.
Three months later.
The day of executing the princess has arrived.
During these three months, the palace has been almost completely restored.
The empress made public everything the princess had done, and the people saw her and cursed her.
"He can even kill his own mother. Damn it!"
"So she was the one who started that huge fire. I even saw the palace on fire from my home."
The princess sat in the prison cart, listening to the people talking about her.
She didn't know when her mood changed.
There was a voice in her head telling her to kill the queen and sit on the throne, then she would be able to do whatever she wanted.
Now she suddenly woke up.
Queen Feng stood in the crowd, crying so hard that she almost fainted.
The princess's eyes swept over him, but quickly retracted.
People took rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at her.
There were also some rotten eggs and other unknown items that emitted a foul odor.
During the three months of imprisonment, Gu Qingyuan, after obtaining the Queen's consent, took Wangqiu and Xiaoshui to see the Princess.
When she saw Xiaoshui, who looked like the little princess, she realized that Wangqiu had given birth to twins, but one of them was taken away by the fourth princess.
Later, the fourth princess also died.
Wangqiu would bring the food he cooked and come to the prison to chat with her.
Today, the princess' only request was that the empress not let Wang Qiu see her like this.
She wanted to maintain her dignity in front of him.
However, when she arrived at the execution ground and got off the prison van, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
