The cold rain mixed with the smell of blood like rust poured into my mouth and nose.
I knelt on the execution platform, and the rough wooden thorns dug into my knees, but I felt no pain at all. As far as the eye can see, there is a dark crowd under the stage. They are pointing and their eyes are shining with curiosity and excitement. Further away, on the execution platform, the man and woman stood side by side - my fiancé Xiao Jingyu, and my half-sister Shen Lianxing.
Xiao Jingyu was wearing bright yellow prince uniforms, his figure was as tall as a pine tree, and the handsome face that once fascinated me was now filled with frozen indifference. Shen Lianxing snuggled next to him, wearing a red palace dress, a color that could only be worn by the prince and his wife. She raised her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips. That smile was full of the pity and ridicule of a winner.
"The Shen family frightened the phoenix, and gave birth to the eldest daughter. She did not think about the emperor's favor, colluded with foreign enemies, and rebelled against the king with the intention of treason. The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and according to the law, he will be executed without delay and executed immediately!"
The supervisor's sharp voice pierced the rain curtain.
I didn't complain. Because I know that what was chopped off by those 3,600 knives was not only my flesh and blood, but also all my foolishness, trust and love in the past eighteen years. Those so-called "evidences" are the confidential documents that I personally compiled for Xiao Jingyu, the strategies I painstakingly planned to help him ascend to the throne of the prince, and the clues of the military talismans that my grandfather left for my mother and eventually fell into my hands... Now, they have all become the talisman that will send me to the guillotine.
