Empress Song fainted while kneeling outside the Imperial Study and was carried back to the Phoenix Palace. After regaining consciousness, she went to the Imperial Study again to kneel and beg the Emperor, and fainted again...

Several returned, and seven days passed.

On the day Xie Jingyin was to be executed, Shen Wan got up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual and sat in front of her dressing table. Yin Shuang styled her hair and chose a set of gold jewelry inlaid with rubies, which complemented her begonia dress perfectly, making her look noble and dignified.

When Xie Jingyan returned from his morning exercise, he saw Shen Wan dressed up and asked, "Are you going out of the manor?"

Shen Wan turned to look at him, "Aren't you going to watch the Prince of Jin carry out the execution?"

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Is it really necessary to dress up so elaborately to watch the Prince of Jin being punished?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was attending a banquet at the Prince of Jin's residence.

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan's swollen belly and said, "The execution was too bloody. You are pregnant and it is not appropriate for you to watch the execution."

Yinshuang and Haitang stood to the side, nodding repeatedly.

The two maids didn't think that Shen Wan wanted to go see Xie Jingyin and get her beheaded; they just assumed that Shen Wan was in a good mood and wanted to go out for a stroll.

The previous assassination attempts were definitely the work of the Prince of Jin. Now that the Prince of Jin has been brought to justice, it will be much safer to go out in the future.

Who would have thought that the princess would have such a peculiar hobby? The old lady and the old lady Wang were beheaded before, and the princess didn't even go.

How could the old lady and Madam Wang compare to Xie Jingyin? In her past life, Xie Jingyin tricked her out of the palace under the pretense of giving her a birthday gift. She didn't suspect anything and dressed up in her finest clothes, only to be pinned to the city gate and watch as the entire Yun family was executed by him.

Even if these things will never happen again in this life, she will never forget that scene.

She was the kind of person who always repaid kindness. He thanked Jingyin for his "favor" in letting her see the Yun family off on their final journey. Now that it was his turn, how could she not go and see them off?

She wouldn't dare watch others behead, but she would personally take Xie Jingyin's head.

Shen Wan said, "I want to go see."

Xie Jingyan looked at her, "You absolutely have to go?"

Shen Wan nodded emphatically.

She rarely persisted in anything, and it was rare for her to care so much about something, so Xie Jingyan couldn't bear to refuse.

Furthermore, although he and Xie Jingyin didn't have much of a brotherly relationship, he should still see them off on their final journey.

Xie Jingyan said, "It's still early. We can set off in an hour."

Does this mean they've agreed?

Shen Wan was pleased.

The two maids, Yinshuang and Haitang, were very tired.

What good things could possibly happen? It's one thing for the prince to do what the princess does, but going to witness an execution isn't exactly a good thing either. The prince still goes along with the princess. Isn't he afraid that the princess will be frightened and have nightmares at night?

When will Your Highness ever regain your authority as a husband? It seems unlikely in this lifetime; Your Highness has absolutely no intention of doing so.

However, Shen Wan wasn't the only one who insisted on going even though she didn't have to; the eldest prince was also among them.

The eldest prince is still recuperating at the Ling Prince's residence.

Although the eldest prince had regained consciousness eight days ago, the Empress Dowager did not allow him to enter the palace to recuperate, nor did she allow him to return to the Prince of Qin's residence. So the eldest prince stayed at the Prince of Ling's residence.

Xie Jingyan didn't chase him away. The Ling Prince's mansion was so big that as long as he didn't go to the pharmacy, he wouldn't be able to see the First Prince at all.

Those who come to visit are welcome to see the Crown Prince if he wishes, but those he does not wish to see are not allowed to enter the Ling Prince's residence. This does not affect Xie Jingyan.

For the first two days after waking up, the eldest prince had a high fever. Chief Physician Zhao and Doctor Tao took care of him tirelessly. Later, the fever subsided and his condition improved significantly. Chief Physician Zhao then returned to the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Xu stayed at the Ling Prince's residence for the past few days, taking care of the eldest prince together with Doctor Tao.

After these days of rest, the Crown Prince finally regained some color in his face. Doctor Tao and Physician Xu did not agree with the Crown Prince going to watch the execution, but the Crown Prince insisted on going, so the two of them let him go.

Since the eldest prince couldn't ride a horse yet, Steward Zhou arranged for him to ride in a carriage, following Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan to the city gate.

When Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan arrived, the Ministry of Justice's prison cart had already brought Xie Jingyin over.

As a prince, and since Empress Song and the Left Prime Minister were not implicated, no one dared to throw rotten eggs or vegetable leaves at him along the way. However, it was still quite a sorry sight for a prince of noble status to become a prisoner overnight.

Xie Jingyan got off the carriage and helped Shen Wan down. When Xie Jingyin saw them, his eyes were cold, filled with a chilling coldness.

This time, his downfall wasn't due to the eldest prince.

They were brought down by Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan!

If it weren't for Shen Wan wanting to have a whole fish feast by the river, he wouldn't have shown up and taken action himself. The eldest prince was so badly injured that if Doctor Tao hadn't been nearby, he would have been dead long ago by the time he was sent back to the city.

If Xie Jingyan hadn't discovered the brocade in which the First Prince pleaded for help, and hadn't prevented the Prince of Yanping and his men from going upstream to find the First Prince, several of the First Prince's lives would have been lost at his hands.

These two are his nemesis!

He's completely under my thumb!

If Xie Jingyan knew that Xie Jingyin thought this way, he would definitely object.

Xie Jingyin gave up his life himself; God took it away on his own initiative.

Shen Wan wanted to eat a whole fish feast, but she didn't expect that on that day, it would be delayed again and again, and that's why so many coincidences happened.

Xie Jingyin was led to the execution platform, where a crowd of onlookers gathered. Shen Wan looked at the city gate and said to Xie Jingyan, "Let's go to the city gate."

She was standing in the same spot from her previous life.

However, the one kneeling on the execution platform was no longer a member of the Yun family, but Xie Jingyin.

Even as she watched Xie Jingyin kneeling on the execution platform, Shen Wan still felt a sense of unreality.

Because Xie Jingyin's fall was beyond her expectations.

She always hoped that Xie Jingyin had died at the hands of her and Xie Jingyan.

Hopefully, no one will try to take Empress Song's life from them.

Many people came to see Xie Jingyin off. The Left Prime Minister came, as did several princes, along with those who followed Xie Jingyin. This time, Xie Jingyin took all the blame, without implicating Empress Song or the Left Prime Minister, and naturally, he wouldn't implicate those who supported him.
