Chapter 123 The Su Family Was Exiled
When Feng Chenyi was in the army, he was famous for his strict military discipline. He would not wrongly accuse a good person, nor would he let a bad person go unpunished.
So Zhai Yun was not surprised by this, but he was willing to ask the Queen Mother for this matter. He had not visited the Queen Mother since he came back.
He was always afraid that his affairs would implicate the Queen Mother.
On the execution ground, more than 300 people were taken to the platform. Su Beiqian and Su Beihu looked at their families behind them, their faces full of regret. They once really thought that they could help the third prince ascend the throne at all costs.
Now that they and their families are about to die, they feel a little regretful. They clearly know that the third prince is not Emperor Xing'an's flesh and blood, but they are afraid that this matter will be exposed one day.
So they wanted to cover it all up, and the best way to cover it up was to let the third prince sit in that position and become the most powerful person in the world.
From the moment they concealed the fact that Concubine Su had a childhood sweetheart and was not innocent, they had no way out. If they wanted to survive, they could only continue to conceal the truth and try their best to cover it up.
The reason they agreed to continue covering up for Concubine Su's secret meeting with her lover was because Concubine Su threatened them by saying that she was pregnant before entering the palace, saying that if they did not continue to help, she would report them.
She denounced her two brothers and her own father, and for the sake of family honor, she deceived her superiors and subordinates and forced her into the palace when she was pregnant.
Their father had been angered to death, leaving only two brothers. Now that the matter was exposed, the family business they had worked so hard to build had been destroyed.
Su Beiqian and Su Beihu looked at each other. On the stage were their wives, children, and grandchildren as young as one or two years old. The grandchildren were too young to know what was happening, but their wives, sons, and daughters-in-law were already crying heart-wrenchingly.
The execution ground was filled with cries and calls for help.
"Sir, please, please beg the emperor again. The grandsons are still young and they don't understand anything. The sons of the servants at home are also unaware of anything. Please ask the emperor to let them go!"
"Yes! Father, my sons are still young. They haven't seen the world properly yet. Please beg the emperor."
Su Beiqian and Su Beihu listened to the cries for help and looked at the whole family, young and old, and tears flowed down their faces.
Everything was going smoothly, it was all Prince Rui's fault! Without Prince Rui, their sister's affair would not have been discovered, and no one would have doubted the Third Prince's identity!
It’s all the fault of this King Rui and Zhai Yun who was beside him!
Even if he dies, he will come back to take revenge for the annihilation of his Su family today!
Come to think of it, Prince Rui was really lucky. On his way back to being the prince, they sent so many people to assassinate him, even using the masters in the palace, but they failed to kill him on the road.
In the battle at the gate of the imperial city, all the soldiers who escorted them back died, but he and the people around him survived. They used rumors but couldn't hurt him at all.
The man who was supervising the execution shouted, "The time has come!"
The execution ground was suddenly filled with wailing. Su Beiqian and Su Beihu could no longer hear the miserable cries. Seeing that there was no hope of getting help, their families began to comfort their children.
The executioner raised his sword. The children, who hadn't felt scared just now, were terrified when they saw a sword hanging over the heads of people they knew. They started crying and screaming.
The executioners standing by felt annoyed when they heard the cries. So many of their men had died. The cries did not arouse their pity, but only annoyed them. They just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.
Just as the knife was about to fall on their necks, the crying would soon stop. An imperial decree was delivered by the eunuch who served the empress dowager.
The executioner quickly and with great difficulty stopped the sword in his hand.
"The Empress Dowager has decreed that I have been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures for the past two days, remembering the late emperor. No massacres should be carried out in the city. Su Beiqian and Su Beihu are guilty of unforgivable crimes and can be executed immediately. Their families will be exiled and will never be allowed to return."
When the news of the Su family's exile came back, Zhai Yun was changing clothes. Qi Nuo was outside the room carefully reporting, "The Empress Dowager has gone to see Emperor Xing'an. Emperor Xing'an has looked depressed for the past two days and has ordered that the ministers not hold court tomorrow."
Zhai Yun put on her clothes and went out, thinking that Feng Chenyi had already gone to court this morning, but came back very early. Fortunately, Emperor An ordered that he did not need to attend court tomorrow to discuss state affairs.
I guess he stood up the ministers at the court this morning.
Zhai Yun thought about it and asked Feng Chenyi, "Is it because Emperor Xing'an didn't attend the court that he came back so early today?"
Feng Chenyi glanced at Zhai Yun while busy, "You are getting smarter and smarter."
The door was open, but Qi Nuo did not come in. Ever since he knew Zhai Yun's identity, he had been very cautious. When he saw Zhai Yun walking to the door, he bowed respectfully.
Zhai Yun greeted him with a smile, "Come in and sit down."
After Zhai Yun finished speaking, she walked towards Feng Chenyi. Qi Nuo also walked in slowly. "The mansion has been relatively quiet these past few days. However, Concubine Tian has visited you at Yunchen Pavilion many times, but has been turned away. I guess the news of you living in Tingyuxuan won't be hidden for much longer."
When Feng Chenyi heard that Tian Fei was looking for him, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He just asked lightly: "Is there anything else?"
Qi Nuo concealed it for a moment, then answered respectfully: "Your Highness, when Concubine Tian came, Miss Xia was following her. Miss Xia has been very close to Concubine Tian recently, and their relationship seems to have improved a lot."
Hearing Xia Lanyan, Feng Chenyi raised his head, but his eyes were not at Qi Nuo but at Zhai Yun, as if asking Zhai Yun when Xia Lanyan started to get together with Tian Fei.
Zhai Yun was also surprised to hear the news. Tian Fei had caused trouble for Xia Lanyan so many times and almost took half her life. Logically, Xia Lanyan should stay away from her.
Seeing the look in Feng Chenyi's eyes, Zhai Yun blurted out innocently, "How should I know?"
She was with Feng Chenyi every day, but she knew less than Feng Chenyi. If Qi Nuo hadn't told her, Zhai Yun wouldn't have known about it.
Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's innocent expression and looked at Qi Nuo indifferently, "It's irrelevant. Is there anything else?"
Qi Nuo hesitated and asked, "Prince, what about Concubine Tian?"
After all, Tian Fei is Feng Chenyi's concubine. She has been turned away many times when she went to see Feng Chenyi, and she is very unhappy.
"Just keep quiet! I'm sure she knows what her father did. Just take it as a warning." Feng Chenyi said coldly.
Zhai Yun was shocked by Feng Chenyi's words. It turned out that when Feng Chenyi moved here, he had already decided to treat Concubine Tian like this. When he saw Marquis Lu after the court that day,
