Chapter 183: Head and Body Separated
Why does Concubine Yun hate the Duke's Mansion so much?
She and the Fourth Prince tried to win over the Duke's Mansion several times, but were rejected every time. This was just one of them.
In the early years, His Majesty doted on Concubine Yun too much, and many ministers in the court submitted memorials, scolding Concubine Yun as a witch.
My eldest brother was among them.
After Xie Changning met the Duke of Zhenguo, she found that it was just as she had guessed, her elder brother had never doubted Jiang Su.
After hearing her words, the Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a moment and immediately sent people to investigate Jiang Su.
If the person behind this is really His Majesty, then they will have to deal with more than just the Fourth Prince.
The brother and sister looked at each other, their expressions extremely solemn.
Although no one said anything, everyone understood it in their hearts.
I'm afraid the days ahead will not be peaceful.
Xie Changning and Mother Du came out early in the morning.
When they returned, Mother Du was so shocked by the scene in front of the Marquis' Mansion that she could hardly close her mouth.
At first glance, it was crowded with people, and it was really bustling with activity.
All the relatives of the Shen family came, including the clan leader, and even those distant relatives who were not related at all came.
It is no exaggeration to say that everyone who is related to the Shen family came.
As soon as Xie Changning got off the carriage, everyone surrounded him.
Everyone was shouting, "Madam, how is my son?"
As he said this, he pushed all his children in front of Xie Changning.
Then, they praise their children as much as they can, even to the sky.
The noise gave Mother Du a headache.
A marquisate suddenly fell from the sky.
Who wouldn’t want it?
Those who don't want it are fools.
Xie Changning understood their feelings, but what could she see from this?
Since she has taken on this task, she must do it well.
She put forward several requirements. The first was that they had to be literate and the second was that they had to be between fifteen and twenty-five years old. Then she asked them all to go back and prepare. To be fair, she asked them to come to the Marquis' Mansion in a few days to take the exam.
She made such a big scene, wasn't it just for His Majesty to see?
The Fourth Prince has been very angry since returning home yesterday.
Not only did my father strip my mother of her title and demote her to the rank of concubine, he also greatly commended the Crown Prince in front of all the civil and military officials today.
Who is the prince?
How can we compare with him?
The throne can only be his...
No matter how the people below him tried to comfort him, it was useless and he was still very upset.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Shen Zhixu was beheaded in public.
There was a huge crowd outside the execution ground.
Bai Xizhi stood at the front, she looked at Shen Zhixu viciously, a sneer flashed across her lips.
She finally waited for this day.
This is his retribution.
Xie Changning also came, but she was in a teahouse not far away, watching the execution ground from afar.
Shen Zhixu was wearing a white prison uniform, his hair was very messy, and he looked terrified, but there didn't seem to be anything unusual about him.
Before execution, the identity of the person must be verified.
As soon as noon arrives.
The executioner shouted loudly: "Execute."
The executioner raised his knife and killed.
With a "pop" sound, a bloody head rolled to the ground.
Looking at this scene, Bai Xizhi couldn't help crying with joy.
Xie Changning stared at the corpse, a sneer flashing across her face.
She received news last night that the Fourth Prince had sent someone out late at night.
She guessed that the Fourth Prince would never understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts.
These past few days, I'm afraid he has been very frightened.
In particular, today, His Majesty commended the Crown Prince in front of all civil and military officials.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xie Nan lost the people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion halfway through following them.
Shen Zhixu is the Fourth Prince's staff member, and he has demonstrated his ability to predict the future to the Fourth Prince.
There’s no guarantee that the Fourth Prince won’t do something!
She had to be on guard.
After the execution, guards quickly collected Shen Zhixu's body and threw it into a mass grave along with the bodies of other prisoners.
Xie Changning did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but went to a villa.
As soon as she arrived at the villa, two guards came in carrying a mat.
Xie Changning asked them to open it.
Inside was a body with its head and body separated.
It was Shen Zhixu's body.
"Check first to see if he has a human skin mask on his face?" Xie Changning said to Xie Lin.
Xie Lin leaned over and touched the bloody head a few times. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he looked up at Xie Changning, "Madam, your guess is correct."
He raised his hand and tore it.
Under the human skin mask, there was indeed a strange face.
