King's Regrets
The Eps 71

The Qing prime minister, whose entire title had been revoked by the emperor Shun, was no longer a prime minister in the royal palace, was taken to the hall of the place of punishment, where he will be be beheaded according to what emperor Shun said yesterday.

People passing by the Qing prime minister threw stones and rotten vegetables at the train that was heading towards the sentencing hall.

"Based on a cruel man, just die there!"

"We don't want to be led by a ruthless minister like you!"

"Feel the punishment you get!"

People started cursing the Qing prime minister while throwing stones and rotten vegetables.

The Qing prime minister himself was sitting limply in the carriage with his hands and feet tied in large chains, his body not as fresh as it was a few weeks ago, even the hair and clothes he was wearing were no longer as neat and good as usual.

The train was paraded through the capital's market to the sentencing hall 200 metres from the royal palace.

The guards dragged the body of the Qing prime minister who was already unable to do anything else out of the carriage towards the punishment hall, leading to the death row, then made him kneel before the people who would see the Qing prime minister get the death penalty.

Qing Hao Min who was also there looked at the Qing prime minister with a sad and disappointed look.

The old man who always made him proud and felt he was the best father in the world, it turns out he had made his brother had to lose his biological mother and live in agony in the palace.

Both Qing Hao Min's hands clenched firmly, he really did not want his family to be destroyed. But he also did not want his father to continue to bear sins during his life.

"If only you hadn't committed that crime, we would still be able to live happily."

After Emperor Shun's edict was read, the former Qing prime minister was taken to the place where he would be beheaded by an executioner who stood upright with a large sword in his hand.

The head of the former Qing prime minister was placed on the beheading site by two bodyguards who were there.

The executioner walked up and stood beside the head of the former Qing prime minister, and swung his sword upwards then....

Kreeeeeess!

Min'er closed her eyes as her father's head was cut off in front of her eyes.

"Good way dad, hopefully we can be together and be one happy family."

Min'er's tears flowed, however she was her own biological father. The father who raised him and always gave his best.

Withholding all the feelings in his heart. Min'er walked away from the punishment hall, because there was nothing else she could do.

The body of a palace official who committed a crime and was sentenced to death, will be buried along with other criminals in the cemetery provided by the palace, he said, and their family members would not be able to come and see their graves. It also includes punishments for those who have committed violent crimes while still alive.

Min'er left, she directly left the punishment hall towards her home. A home that has provided warmth and happiness to her since childhood.

Min'er's tears continued to flow all the way to her home, she really could not help but feel sad mixed with disappointment towards her now ruined family.

His father had died and his mother was dragged into southern exile, where it was confirmed he would live to suffer until the end of his life.

Kraaa

Min'er's childhood shadow while playing with her parents appears, Min'er falls down and sits on the ground unable to hold back all her feelings.

"Dad, mother."

Min'er sobbed alone in the house that had many of those memories.

In Yu city, Xia Lian An stood beside her house. He carried a tray containing two cups of tea.

Xia Lian An placed the tray on the stone table beside her. He then took one of the tea cups and lifted the tea cup in front of his body.

"Dad, I gave this last tea to you as a thank you from your daughter for keeping me clean all this time. Hopefully in the next life, you can live happily. Good-bye." Xia Lian An said as she looked straight ahead as if she was talking to someone.

Xia Lian An then drank and finished the tea in one gulp. After drinking the tea, Xia Lian An paid her last respects to the former Qing prime minister by prostrating three times.

The second cup of tea, Xia Lian An was aimed at Xia Lian An's real mother.

"Mother, I have avenged my mother and myself. Later in life, we will live happily together."

"Thank you madam, you have given birth to such a strong and devoted child. May you have happiness in the next few lives, I will take good care of your daughter's body."

Xia Lian An then went back to drinking the tea in one gulp, and kowtowed three times as his last tribute to the original Xia Lian An's biological mother.

Everything that Xia Lian An did in seeing Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen, they both wiped away their fallen tears.

They could not see what the lady was doing right now, they also felt happy because all the suffering she had been feeling was over, those who hurt him are punished.

Cold water blew, Xia Lian An saw some snow grains begin to fall from the sky.

"Even nature has paid her last respects to you." Xia Lian An muttered.

Xia Lian An looked at Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen who were standing not far away from him.

"Help me to bring back these cups, and prepare the water of the ginger stew that I bought yesterday, when young master Min has come." Xia Lian An.

"Well miss." Said Xiao Wei and Xiao Fen simultaneously.

Xia Lian An nodded, she then walked inside her room.

After everything happened, Xia Lian An was sure that Min'er would return to her home. Min'er already had no one other than Xia Lian An, plus at this time her feelings were not good and there was no place for her to lean.

Min'er also had not much experience, she did not know what to do other than to go and live with Xia Lian An at this time.

"Min'er, I will definitely take care of you and take care of you like you always took care of your brother first." Xia Lian An.

Xia Lian An sat on her bed, and stared straight out at her room that she opened.

Life in the world is not something we can use at will. Where when we want something, we can do all kinds of ways to get it. There will all be reciprocity for what we have done.
