Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death
Chapter 238 Nie Shen'er was poisoned to death 2
In the dark and gloomy torture chamber, only a few rays of sunlight could leak in through a narrow window high up.
Faintly hearing the wails and screams of other prisoners imprisoned here, Nie Shen'er slowly opened his eyes and silently moved his cold and stiff hands and feet.
She had been locked up in the torture chamber for several days, accused of poisoning the royal heir and practicing witchcraft in the palace.
The Qin and Han dynasties attached great importance to witchcraft, but at the same time, they were also more taboo about the occurrence of such witchcraft.
What's more, the birth dates written on the two cursed dolls that the palace servants dug out from her palace were of the current emperor and empress.
That would be even more unforgivable.
Nie Shen'er did make a cursed doll, but Dou Yifang discovered it first and then successfully replaced it without telling the truth.
She had already mentioned this matter before when Liu Heng came to see her alone, but the answer she got in the end was just a light-hearted sentence -
"I promised her that I would never ask."
The four words "never ask" were like a loud slap in the face to Nie Shen'er, making her so angry that her heart was bleeding.
The trust and love Liu Heng showed for Dou Yifang made Nie Shen'er more angry than losing his entire life and property in this palace fight!
But, now that things have come to this, she is powerless to change the situation.
Looking at the sky, there was about half an hour left before Dou Yifang would come with poisoned wine to personally send her off.
Originally, the story should have stopped here, with the villain dying and the good guys having a happy ending, and then people could worry about family matters.
But unfortunately, she came back again.
After estimating the time in his mind, Nie Shen'er closed his eyes again, and his right hand, hidden in his wide sleeves, gestured gently, with faint flashes of blood-red light.
Time is running out, so she can't make much preparations this time and can only go straight to the golden finger.
Otherwise, you will die in disgrace soon.
At this moment, Dou Yifang, who was holding the poisoned wine and walking slowly on the long palace road with complicated feelings, suddenly shuddered.
……
“Oh~oh~ka-ka-da——!”
It was getting late and the dew was heavy. There was no sun in the east yet, and it was far from the usual time to get up in the morning.
However, at this gloomy and dark time, a large number of strange and noisy crowing sounds suddenly rang out throughout the city of Chang'an.
These strange rooster crows, one after another, resounded through the sky and woke up everyone living in Chang'an City.
All places where chickens were raised were affected, and naturally, even the magnificent Weiyang Palace was not left in peace.
Liu Heng sat up from the bed with a headache. He had read a lot of memorials last night and was woken up before he had slept for long. He felt a terrible headache.
The key point is that the sound continued for a whole cup of tea. Not only did it not stop, but it became more and more shrill.
"What time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, it is only 3:30 in the morning."
Liu Heng was slightly surprised to hear the eunuch's answer. He raised his hand to rub his aching forehead, ordered someone to light the lamp again, and asked:
"What's that noise outside? It sounds... ominous."
"This... I have already sent someone to investigate, and I think there will be results soon."
Liu Heng could be considered a good-tempered monarch. Although he felt very uncomfortable being woken up in the middle of the night, it happened suddenly and he couldn't blame anyone.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply sat there with his coat on and waited for the results of the investigation.
Mainly, it’s because this matter happened so strangely.
Judging from the noise outside, it didn't seem like the noise was only happening in the Weiyang Palace. Rather, it seemed like the entire Chang'an city was surrounded by this strange and shrill cry.
However, before the servants could report back from going out to investigate, there was a sudden loud "boom", which shook Liu Heng awake from his sleepiness and made him completely alert.
Hearing the chaotic and frightened screams of the palace servants outside, Liu Heng stood up suddenly, his voice filled with anger and unconscious panic.
"what is going on!"
Tonight was ominous. Accidents happened again and again, as if foreshadowing something. This really made Liu Heng feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the place where the accident happened this time was not far from Jianzhang Palace, and someone came to report it soon. However, the person was in a panic and his face was pale, as if he was frightened.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Report to Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
Seeing this, Liu Heng frowned tightly, and he felt more and more uneasy.
"Hurry up and tell me what happened!"
"Reporting to your majesty... the Pepper Palace... collapsed!"
"???……What did you say!"
Upon hearing the report, Liu Heng's mind was confused at first. When he finally reacted, his face suddenly changed and he ran over in a hurry.
As he ran, he asked anxiously:
"How is the Queen? Is she okay?!"
The eunuch following behind him wiped the cold sweat from his head, his mind working quickly, trying to comfort Shengxin.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Queen is blessed by heaven and nothing will happen to her! It's dark all around here, please go slowly and be careful of the Holy Body, Your Majesty!"
Liu Heng had no mind to listen to these nice words. He was now extremely panic-stricken, and the crowing of chickens around him was becoming increasingly shrill.
It doesn't sound like the sound of the human world. Instead, it sounds like evil spirits from hell coming to claim your life. It's really scary to hear.
He was thinking about Dou Yifang, so he ran very fast and soon arrived at the crowded Jiaofang Palace.
In fact, the collapse of the Pepper House Palace was not serious. Only a small palace room in the northwest corner collapsed, and the main hall was not seriously damaged.
But the loud noise during the collapse is hard not to scare people.
Especially since they were a group of people in the Han Dynasty who were already very keen on feudal superstition.
Add to that the extremely shrill sound of roosters crowing all around, and it would be hard not to be scared!
Fortunately, the emperor's quick arrival quickly calmed down the many frightened palace servants, but they still looked terrified.
However, Liu Heng felt relieved when he saw that the main hall was fine.
He subconsciously tried to find Dou Yifang's trace in the crowd, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the figure he wanted to see most at the moment.
Seeing this, Liu Heng's face couldn't help but slowly darken.
"Where's the queen?"
His voice was not loud, but it immediately made the atmosphere at the door of the Pepper Room become solemn.
The palace maids lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to answer.
After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Where's the queen?"
This time, someone finally answered timidly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen...is not in the palace..."
