The prince's face suddenly turned pale and ugly. This Jiang family, even when she was about to die, still wanted to embarrass him in public!
Xie Xianyu's voice remained calm, "The original engagement was preordained, and the cancellation was based on the elders' consideration. You and I have never had any private contact. Jiang Liangdi, please don't try to establish a relationship just to avoid guilt."
Jiang Xuejun laughed bitterly and said, "Yes, they never had any contact in private."
He said it so heartlessly, but to her, it was a longing that he had been longing for for dozens of days.
If it weren't for that bitch Xu Wanruo, she would have married him as she wished. Why would she become such a hideous and vicious woman, bringing disaster to the whole family?!
She stared at Xu Wanruo with resentment, as if she wanted to see her turned to dust.
The guards rushed over, grabbed her, and dragged her directly outside Fengyi Palace to be tortured.
The emperor was exhausted and had no time to take care of other things. He just handed the case over to Xie Xianyu for review, and then the palace maids helped him to rest.
The crown prince was deposed and imprisoned in Prince Xuan's palace for trial. The entire Jiang family was imprisoned and awaited investigation by the Dali Temple.
This farce finally came to an end, and the court officials who had been frightened all day also dispersed one after another, but everyone had a lot of thoughts in their minds.
After a few days, the direction of the court will probably change again.
The Chen family looked panicked. On the way here, they were still feeling lucky that their daughter had chosen the right prince, but they never expected that everything would be lost in an instant. It would be one thing for the prince to be deposed, but what if the investigation led to the prince and the Chen family was implicated?
When the Chen family married their daughter to the prince, they were already tied to the prince, sharing life and death, honor and disgrace.
Isn’t the Jiang family an example?
The Crown Prince was taken away, and Chen Qinghan followed him out of the palace. Master Chen, worried, chased after her and said in a panic, "Qing'er, the Crown Prince has been deposed, and now His Majesty wants to investigate him again. What if they really find out something and implicate our Chen family? What will we do?"
Chen Qinghan had already looked as pale as death. With the fall of the prince, his fate was already doomed.
It was just that Jiang Xuejun died first, so who among the concubines in the palace could escape?
As for collective punishment, it is even more common.
"The victor makes the king, the loser makes the bandit. When my father gave me to King Xuan, didn't he foresee such an outcome?" Chen Qinghan said in a cold voice.
Master Chen's face froze. How could he have expected this? After all, Prince Xuan was the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager. He thought he would definitely win the bet.
But who could have imagined that it would end like this.
"Qing'er, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Your parents raised you like a treasure. Even if you don't care about yourself, don't you care about us? Your brother's youngest son was just born, and you haven't even met him yet. Do you want our Chen family to follow in the footsteps of the Jiang family?"
Chen Qinghan's eyes froze slightly, and his face turned cold again: "Things have come to this point, King Xuan can't do anything, what can I do?"
Master Chen lowered his voice and said, "I just saw Meng Yan. He is obviously the King of Qi's man. If the King of Qi gains power, if you can..."
Chen Qinghan's expression suddenly changed. "Dear, can you really say that? Wasn't it our Chen family that caused him to lose his reputation and ruin his future?! You actually want me to beg him?"
Master Chen said hurriedly, "Isn't this absolutely necessary? The lives of the entire Chen family depend on this. He cared so much about you in the past. If you were willing to show even a little kindness, perhaps he would remember their past and do his best to protect our Chen family."
"If you request it, please go by yourself." Chen Qinghan didn't want to listen any more and turned away.
Master Chen was furious: "Are you really going to watch our Chen family's property being ransacked? If they really find out something, do you think you can survive?!"
Chen Qinghan paused and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to live anymore."
-
Xie Xianyu took Wanruo out of the palace, walked out of Ninghui Palace, walked around the long palace road, and arrived near Fengyi Palace.
Jiang Xuejun was still being tortured, being hit with a stick again and again, and she screamed in pain.
She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Xu Wanruo, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Wanruo paused, turned her head and looked, but was blocked by the towering palace wall.
"Are you scared?" Xie Xianyu asked her.
