Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 386: This Woman Dared to Commit Assault in Broad Daylight!
Seeing Long Yue spit blood, Duanmu Nan was frightened, quickly checked her pulse, and found her qi and blood turbulent, showing symptoms of a miscarriage!
Without a word, Duanmu Nan immediately began to administer acupuncture.
After a few needles, Long Yue’s emotions gradually calmed down. Yet, looking at the man in the prison cart who was unrecognizable, Long Yue’s tears wouldn’t stop, flowing down incessantly.
These days, she didn’t know how many tears she’d shed, each time thinking her tears had dried up, but still tears continued to flow.
She gazed despairingly at the man being taken to the execution ground, her legs went weak, and she fell directly into Duanmu Nan’s arms.
Duanmu Nan held Long Yue steadily, his embrace filled with tenderness, making his heart ripple slightly and his gaze became profound.
"Oh, I wondered who it was. It turns out to be Lady Jiao? Are you here to see your man off? Oh, ho ho ho..."
A sharp and sarcastic voice came from behind, Long Yue turned around woodenly.
A noble and elegant woman slowly walked over, surrounded by several other women.
There were five women in total, among them were Xue Mingzhu and Mrs. Liu, whom Long Yue recognized!
This Mrs. Liu was Liu Yi’s wife. During the wolf surge at last spring’s hunt, her husband was killed under the claws of a pack of vicious wolves.
Because a medicinal powder causing the wolves to go wild was found in their blood, Long Yue was mistakenly accused of carrying it with her and nearly branded as someone attempting to assassinate the Emperor.
Even though it was later clarified that neither Long Yue nor her husband were responsible, Mrs. Liu continued to hold a grudge against them.
It was because when Li Qingmu came to rescue people, he saved Huang Hua, but failed to save Liu Yi.
Jealousy arises not from poverty but from inequality, especially when you saved others and not my husband, what does that mean?
It’s not wrong to hate you!
Mrs. Liu thought this way, hence she had long hoped for the downfall of Long Yue and her husband!
Today she heard that Li Qingmu was to be executed, she came excitedly, and coincidentally met Lady of the Southern Country Xue Mingzhu on the way, so they came together.
She was here to watch the spectacle, and now that she was witnessing it, she felt extremely gleeful.
Long Yue looked coldly at her, then shifted her gaze to Lady Xue.
Lady Xue, upon approach, stared at Duanmu Nan, squinting her apricot eyes, which gradually turned a dangerous shade of red.
She looked at Long Yue in Duanmu Nan’s arms with a gentle and graceful smile, but deep in her eyes was intense resentment!
This man was one she fancied, yet he was holding another woman, and that woman was one she intensely disliked!
"Bitch!"
Xue Mingzhu cursed silently, clutching her jade hands tight, at that moment she wished she could kill this woman!
How many times had it been, whenever she’s around, things never went well!
But today was an exception, because today there’s a good show to watch!
She began to wear a self-satisfied smile on her face, looking at Long Yue: "Lady Jiao seems... visibly unwell, has something troublesome occurred? Share it with us, perhaps we can help you?"
"Pfft! Indeed, please do share, after all, our Lady Xue is the Empress Dowager’s niece, if she can help, she will do her best to!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Besides Xue Mingzhu, there were several other women, none of them simple, all ridiculing Long Yue.
Long Yue looked at them woodenly.
These people were laughing, amused by her misfortune, with two even glancing in Li Qingmu’s direction before making a disgusted gesture in front of their own noses.
"It’s such a pity, I heard that Imperial Censor Li used to be a remarkably handsome man, but now... tsk tsk, he is no longer human nor ghost-like, missing limbs, truly terrifying, ah!"
As the woman finished speaking, Long Yue’s emotions completely broke down. She unsheathed a soft sword she routinely carried for self-defense and charged at the gossiping woman.
It all happened so quickly, the woman hadn’t realized what was happening and suddenly saw the sword tip approaching!
"Ahhh—"
She screamed shrilly, stumbling aside, while others quickly began to shout: "Murder! Someone is killing in the street!"
The women were still somewhat distanced from Long Yue, so they scattered and fled, with Long Yue chasing them, causing a commotion like chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Elsewhere, in an unnoticed alley, twelve masked individuals in black awaited.
Beside them stood a woman.
"Your Highness, can he still be saved in this condition?"
The leader, a man, showed complex emotions, committing such a rescue at the execution ground seemed too grave, even for a foreign princess.
The woman was, of course, Princess Nianxi.
She watched the incomplete man being led in a prison cart to the square for execution, her brow furrowing, surprised by the sight, finding it unbelievable!
How could a person become like this?
He has suffered complete inhuman torment!
Yet she held on to a glimmer of hope, wanting confirmation!
She needed to confirm if this man was truly Li Qingmu, despite flawless appearances.
This Princess Nianxi was intelligent and highly sensitive to certain matters, such as inter-country relations, hence she was granted the title of Princess to be dispatched to Dazhou.
Under these circumstances, to ascertain some truths, she must have him rescued first.
She nodded: "Rescue him! Regardless of anything, he must be brought back, even if only a corpse!"
Her words were somewhat gruesome, but the masked individuals nodded in agreement.
"Someone’s been killed, help, ah..."
Long Yue chased down a woman, kicked her over, and deeply stabbed a sword into her akin to a noble body. The strike was too agitated, inaccurate enough, stabbing only the arm, but nearby people screamed loudly.
"A murderous villain, quickly, seize this villain!"
Xue Mingzhu seized the opportunity, directly attempting to capture Long Yue.
"The third quarter of the Wu hour has arrived, execute!"
Execution time was strictly regulated, especially for someone who died as tragically as Li Qingmu, with immense grievance, it had to be conducted when yang was at its peak, the third quarter of the Wu hour; otherwise, the resentment might disturb noble figures in the palace.
The execution couldn’t be delayed; matters on Long Yue’s side suddenly seemed insignificant.
However, Long Yue quieted down, turned towards the execution ground, and the person was already at the center, an official writing a bloody "execute" on the ceremonial tablet!
"Criminal Li Qingmu, slaughtered six hundred and thirty-one innocent people in Qingshui Village, sins immeasurable, should be executed immediately! Proceed!"
"No—"
Seeing the word "execute" fall, Long Yue screamed bitterly, then fainted!
"It’s the time, take action!"
In the dark alley, Princess Nianxi waved her hand, and the twelve masked individuals rushed out instantly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
They fired sleeve arrows hidden with smoke, and smoke rose swiftly on the execution ground!
"Not good, someone’s attempting a rescue at the execution ground! Quickly, stop them!"
