Chapter 337: The End Of Revenge
The head rolled for a while, then lay motionless on the ground, covered in warm blood. The children and the unmarried women saw this and shouted in horror at the same time. The silent area was suddenly filled with cries and shouts.
"No! Father!"
Before the young woman could plead to Emperor Yong’an again, the executor raised his sword again. When the young woman saw this, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Let me go! No! Don’t kill my mother! She is innocent!"
As she desperately tried to free herself from the soldier’s hand, she saw her mother’s head fall to the ground. The young woman couldn’t bear the shock, and her vision went dark.
The young woman was not the only one who fainted today. Most of the young women fainted, and some onlookers also fainted and vomited. That morning, the smell of blood in the execution ground was very strong, and Duan Yixin felt a little stuffy.
Just when the last prisoner was executed, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened extremely quickly. Two minutes later, heavy rain poured down, and the onlookers hurriedly left the execution ground.
When the heavy rain washed away the blood from the execution platform, Emperor Yong’an stood up and looked at the sky covered by thick rain clouds. Emperor Yong’an stood there and watched the rain for a long time.

Emperor Yong’an looked at them for a moment, then looked away and said, "Go back to the imperial palace."
