The middle-aged man kept kowtowing, his voice very weak, and said, "This humble one thanks the Prince and Princess Consort."
But it was strange, after the middle-aged man finished speaking, he did not stand up for a long time.
Xuexue took out silver needles from her sleeve and said again, "Uncle, please stand up quickly, I'll help you stop the bleeding."
This time there was no response at all, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground like a piece of wood.
"Uncle," Xuexue called out tentatively again.
"Plop."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground tilted his body and fell to the ground.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with him? Could he be dead?" The commoners were puzzled, pointing at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground.
Soon after, the commoners became angry and shouted at the Imperial Guards guarding the Imperial Palace's entrance, "You executioners dare commit murder under broad daylight!"
