Chapter 1101: Public Execution
Shangguan Ya carried a bowl of pitch-black medicine of unknown composition and brought it to the Yu King’s lips.
The Yu King was already unconscious. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were tightly shut. Shangguan Ya pinched his cheeks with her free hand to force his mouth open and poured the entire bowl of medicine down his throat.
Soon, the King opened his eyes, and moments later, he was even able to sit up.
No matter how one looked at it, this was clearly the last flicker of vitality before death.
The King remained unusually calm. He asked, “Is it time?”
Shangguan Ya replied, “I am merely carrying out my orders.”
With that, she turned and left without another word.
Moments later, a squad of Spirit Guards entered, each wearing a visor that concealed their face.
Their leader, a second-rank Spirit Guard, spoke. “Prisoner Chen Shuzhen, it’s time for your execution.”
The Yu King closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again and stood up.
The second-rank Spirit Guard lifted his chin slightly. “Change his clothes. Grant him at least a final shred of dignity.”
Two lower-rank Spirit Guards answered and stepped forward to change the King’s garments.
