"OMO! GRAND CONCUBINE GONG DAHYE! HOW CAN!"
"IS THAT REALLY HIM?!"
"What is this?! Why was he treated like that?! Did Emperor Li not love him anymore?!"
"Well...! I can't speak! This is too shocking!"
"Look! There's Mr. Gong and his son! They're together on this?!"
"Eh! Isn't that Second Prince Li Fang Ye?! What is this really?!"
"What mistake did they make until Emperor Li sentenced them to death?!"
The fanfare echoed instantly once the main character on today's show appeared. Everyone's faces were decorated with countless shock. They were not ignorant of the story of how Emperor Li so deeply loved the woman who now looked so pitiful.
Third Gong and Second Prince Li Fang Ye did not even change clothes. They still wear hanfu last time. As if to indicate that they are indeed devoted to it so that it looks different from the others.
Nothing escapes the sight of those who witness it all.
The faces of Gong Duyoung and Gong Dahee were no longer colored, they seemed to have been very resigned to the circumstances that would occur after this.
"Our father will really end here, today, and in this way?" gong Dahee asked lethargic like lifeless, he did not even turn his head when asking that.
Exhaling a resigned breath. "Maybe this is our destiny." her eyes looked bright. "I should have listened to my brother's words that forbid me to do anything that violates the teachings of our family ancestors. I'm too greedy! I was too blind to position and power." turned to his son with a look of regret. "I'm sorry about this old man, my son... I shouldn't have fooled you and your sister just for my ambition!" he was sobbing sobs that were about to come out.
Hearing that, Gong Dahee immediately turned her head and looked back at her Father. "Don't blame yourself, Dad! Even if it all starts with you... I should have been more mature in the first place to prevent you from doing so, however I was already big enough back then. But, I didn't do it because I also thought the same as you. So don't blame yourself. Here I am guilty, because I can not help thinking clearly and wiser in making decisions." said Gong Dahee when he realized his mistake which was lulled with the position that became his father's ambition.
Gong Dahye was no less bad than her father and brother. He was silent in fear as his eyes caught the sight of the crowd filling the entire field belonging to the Huoli Royal Court. Which, always used for the continuity of the law that applies to those who act in crime.
As his eyes that were studded with fear and shame swept over trembled at what was available before him, his eyes involuntarily caught the sharp eyes of glittering hatred that had always been staring warmly at him.
He hung up for a moment. Staring pushy at the owner of the eye was hoping he was saved. Amazingly, he did not feel guilty or sorry for what he had done before. Gong Dahye still thought the bottom he was doing was right. Just because Emperor Li couldn't get her pregnant, even though he was told that Emperor Li was doing just as well as he was.
"Your Majesty... Please this concubine." she cried with pity had no other choice, when she had previously glanced at the sword held by the executioner on her left side. The sword was even covered in blood and the blood was still wet which meant that just a moment ago it was used to slash one's neck.
He could not help but gulp his own saliva.
He's afraid of death.
He's not ready to die.
He hasn't got what he wants.
How could he just walk away?!
"Your Majesty, please let me go. I'm still your concubine. The concubine you love. Your Majesty, I am innocent. Why should I be here... I didn't do anything to make you angry, did I?! Your Majesty, please give the servant justice!" again with a louder voice.
Second Prince Li Fang Ye who heard him spontaneously sniggered and screeched in disbelief. "Not shameless!" muttered.
Reychu who was sitting casually beside Emperor Li instead chuckled at the sentence spoken by Gong Dahye.
"Hehehe... He's crazy!" his Jed while looking down on Gong Dahye who was on the execution stage. "Why don't you say you have a twin who would sacrifice his body just to help you achieve your goal?! Ckck! Very amusing... I'm so excited to see it!"
Emperor Li could hear the words coming out of Ahn Reychu's mouth. But, he only chose silence with the dark air that increasingly enveloped him.
Glanced at Emperor Li who seemed to hold back the wrath. Reychu grinned at that. But, he remained relaxed. As with the people around him and Emperor Li, they all felt the threat from the dark air issued by Emperor Li.
They were afraid that Emperor Li would burn them all down with his fire element just in case the ruling man could not contain his anger.
"Random!" hiss Emperor Li flatly gave a decree, but it was clear that he was holding back.
Hearing that the loyal Eunuch Emperor Li immediately did his duty.
"EVERYTHING ATTENTION! AS THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRE NATION SAW! IT WAS A MASS EXECUTION PROCESSION THAT ONCE EXISTED IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY! IN RELATION TO THAT, YOU MUST BE WONDERING... WHAT CAUSED HIS HIGHNESS EMPEROR LI TO BEAT UP THAT GROUP OF PEOPLE TO BE PUT TO DEATH!" the jeda.
"THEN, LISTEN TO THIS...!" his hand moved to unroll the dark blue-covered scroll with its contents...
"'I AM LI HANZUE, AS THE EMPEROR OF THE FIRE NATION'S HUOLI KINGDOM ANNOUNCED! THERE ARE 1,849 PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMITTED REBELLION AND TREASON FROM THE 16 REGIONS OF THE FIRE NATION'S TERRITORY WITH DALANGI BY GONG DUYOUNG FROM THE RESPECTABLE GONG NOBLE FAMILY! BY MISTAKE, IT WAS HIS AMBITION TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE FIRE NATION'S POWER AND MAKE THIS EMPEROR HIS PUPPET! IT HAD MADE GONG DUYOUNG FORGET WHERE HE WAS WALKING! THEREFORE, THIS EMPEROR GAVE HIM THE DEATH PENALTY ALONG WITH ALL THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH HIS FAMILY! OH!'" fill in the first scroll that Emperor Li's eunuch read.
All who heard the contents of the dark blue colored scroll were shocked instead of playing. The four people who had been kneeling on the execution stage since the beginning were there. Especially the three faces that only had a slight difference to the point of being unable to see where the difference was, their faces had already lost color. Blood did not flow in the veins on his third face.
They fell silent. Their tongues suddenly stiffened to the point of being unable to move upon hearing the mistake that Emperor Li had made known.
Shock is not playing!
The people are the same. For them, although some do not have a good education, still very clearly know that what has just been announced is really an unforgivable mistake.
The entire pair of ears that heard him only chose silence once they saw that Emperor Li's Eunuch would still be reading another scroll. This time the Emperor Eunuch read the purple-coated scroll.
Open and ready to read.
"I WILL READ THE NEXT DECREE OF THE EMPEROR!" the jeda. "I AM EMPEROR LI HANZUE, ANNOUNCE! THAT MY BELOVED CONCUBINE NAMED GREAT CONCUBINE GONG DAHYE AND MY BELOVED SISTER NAMED SECOND PRINCE LI FANG YE HAVE BETRAYED IN AN AFFAIR WAY! BOTH HAVE COMMITTED ADULTERY TO PRODUCE BABIES TO BE USED AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT SUCCESS FOR ALL THE AMBITIONS DESIRED BY THE GONG DUYOUNG FAMILY FROM THE GONG NOBLE FAMILY! THEREFORE, I WILL PUNISH BOTH OF THEM WITH THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THEIR SINS! OH!'" finish for the second roll.
Again and again, and again, the entire pair of ears that heard him startled were not playing until they spontaneously turned their heads and looked towards poor Grand Concubine Gong Dahye on the execution stage and Second Prince Li Fang Ye who was no less pitiful.
Whispers began to be heard, although what was spoken of sounded vague. However, because who whispered the words whether it had been said all the people present at the execution procession. And so, the whispers sounded loud.
Now then Grand Concubine Gong Dahye displayed her pale and pithy expression. It was unexpected that even Emperor Li would not tolerate what he had done. It was unthinkable to her that even Emperor Li's love could not apologize to her.
"Am I going to end up here?" his murmur questioned his fate for a moment later. Will it really die or what?! He doesn't know.
Second Prince Li Fang Ye could only bow down. Rather than being ashamed of his actions that he had committed to fate in the first place, Second Prince Li Fang Ye was more interested in the fate of his wife if she was really put to death. Can his wife survive alone?!
Receiving gossip due to marrying a despicable person like himself. Pregnant without a husband, because he died for betraying his brother who was an Emperor. Caring for a child who is not her child, but obviously her husband's child.
Can it?! That was what filled Second Prince Li Fang Ye's head. He's confused.
The reverie was resuscitated when Emperor Li's eunuch said...
"THE EXECUTION FOR THE FOUR PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN ON THE EXECUTION STAGE, WAS DECLARED AT THE START!" echoes of the voice of Emperor Li's Eunuchs who from the very beginning represented Emperor Li spoke.
Hearing the orders have been given. An executioner immediately raised his hand holding a sharp long sword which was now affixed with traces of blood until the smell could not be prevented.
This time, the executioner who carried out the execution was only one person related to be punished only 4 people.
Second Prince Li Fang Ye had closed his eyes while looking down as he could not think of anything to gain the mercy of his elder Emperor brother whom he had already wounded.
Meanwhile, Gong Duyoung and Gong Dahee like his life had been taken out first before their heads were cut off. They had lost the ability to move and speak so afraid of the fact that they would be finished today as well.
Not much different from the Gong Family daughter who was always proud from the beginning. Right now he was staring straight at Emperor Li who was just coldly replying to him. It seemed that those eyes were not lying about the hatred that had infiltrated the man's heart.
Emperor Li's love had now turned to hate.
The slap!
Glucose...
Gong Dahye was stunned when she heard that something had fallen. He looked weakly at his helplessness.
His eyes widened so surprised and did not expect that it was the head of the brother who was first cut off. He held his breath as soon as he knew. I was not aware that the punishment was going on.
He had trouble swallowing his own saliva. His throat felt dry and choked.
Shortly after, the next sound echoed. Gong Dahye could only close her eyes unable to see. Now her tears flow. I don't know for what reason the tears are flowing.
The slap!
Glucose...
On the other side of the place, accompanied by his servant. Yu Chan Yi tried hard to deal with all this. In her heart she continued to pray that there would be hope for her husband. Her body took care and weakened to support her body only she could barely, she burdened her mind on her husband who was facing the seconds to death.
The entire people of Huoli Kingdom watched it tensely until they even forgot how to breathe.
For the third time the executioner raised his sword without hesitation. Steady and dashing despite carrying out the execution of someone.
Again, the people of Huoli Kingdom held their breaths as the executioner swung his sword downwards about to chop off the next one.
Those eyes tried to look again at the sharp eyes of the figure he loved there. Sitting watching himself dying at his command. Now he knew he had made a mistake, but he still did not feel guilty. He obviously did it for what and for what reason. So, think...
Can't Emperor Li understand...?!
The slap!
Glucose...
Finally, the woman's head was beheaded as well before she even closed her eyes from staring at the Emperor who was undaunted even as the sword's eyes floated down the neck of the woman she once loved so much.
Flat and cold, that's how he is today.
While Reychu was at his side, grinning widely saw the head was slashed and was a little regretful because it was not him who did it.
"Ckckl! It's over!" the chirps are relaxed, no matter if anyone hears.
Now, the last one...
Yu Chan Yi's body collapsed in limp, but tried hard because she did not want to leave her husband who was facing death there.
Their eyes clashed and looked at each other. The husband stared unwillingly and unwillingly to leave his wife. The wife stared sadly and desperately at what was happening to her husband.
Their gazes channeled each other's sense of belonging, indicating that those gazes were only those who knew the meaning within.
The husband smiled thinly trying to calm his wife who began to hysterically in her place. It was far away, but it could still clearly see each other.
Just when the executioner raised his sword, Yu Chan Yi fell unconscious because he could no longer survive.
