Chapter 48 Rushing to the Border



The whole family was executed!

At this moment, Su Yan's heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom of a cliff, and he felt lifeless. "Your Majesty! Please spare my family! For the sake of my fathers and brothers who died on the battlefield for several generations, please show mercy!"

He hit his head hard on the ground and couldn't get up!

The emperor snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the old marquis, I would have ordered everyone in your mansion to be confiscated and thrown into prison!"

At this moment, Eunuch Xu came in from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from General Xiao outside the palace."

"Present it!" said the emperor coldly.

Eunuch Xu stepped forward and presented the letter to the emperor.

After reading the letter, the emperor's expression eased a little. Fortunately, Xiao Duo was concerned about the border affairs, so no major incident occurred.

The letter also reiterated that it was thanks to Su Jinyue's contribution that he was able to obtain the intelligence and stop the loss in time. The emperor's eyes darkened.

If the Marquis' Mansion was severely punished at this time, Su Jinyue would inevitably be implicated. He was the one who issued the imperial decree to grant the marriage, and Xiao Duo was going to the battlefield for border affairs, so the Marquis' Mansion certainly could not allow any accidents to happen at this time.

The emperor took a deep breath and looked at Su Yan lying on the ground with cold eyes, "I am also thinking of your military achievements in previous years. I can put this matter aside for now!"

"Once this matter is over, you will be sent to guard the border! You are not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial decree. If you disobey my will, I will kill everyone in your mansion!"

Su Yan, who had saved his life, kowtowed and thanked him immediately, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

"Get out and take your Su family members out of the palace!"

"yes……"

Su Yan was almost unable to stand up. He held on to his last breath and walked to the outside of the Yangxin Palace. He followed the eunuch to pick up Jiang Caiping and the others.

He seemed to have suddenly aged by ten years, and his body became more hunched.

Su Chengjiang was carried out lying down, his buttocks and below were a bloody mess. When he saw Su Yan, he was still screaming in pain, "Father, it's all the fault of that bitch Su Jinyue! You must punish her when you return home!!"

Jiang Caiping seemed to have lost her spirit and followed Su Yan in a daze.

"Shut up!" Su Yan scolded coldly.

Su Jingnian's face turned pale. He didn't know why his father was so angry. He was still helping Su Zhiyao. "Father, it was indeed Su Jinyue who caused the trouble in entering the palace this time. She is a disaster! She has damaged Zhiyao's reputation!"

Jiang Caiping suddenly spoke up at this moment, "What does this have to do with her? Do you think that His Majesty hasn't spanked you enough? You're still talking nonsense!"

Not understanding why her mother didn't help her, Su Zhiyao walked delicately beside Jiang Caiping, "Father and mother, this time you really can't blame my sister. You can only blame your daughter for her bad luck."

She thought her father would sympathize with her, but she didn't expect that when Su Yan heard that her reputation was damaged, his already ugly face darkened even more!

"What the hell is going on?!"

Jiang Caiping explained the whole thing to Su Yan. Su Yan closed his eyes and his face turned pale. "No wonder, no wonder the emperor is so angry!"

Su Yan opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he looked at his two useless sons, "After you two recover from your injuries, stay in the mansion and don't go to the border with me!"

Su Jingnian was shocked. He ignored the severe pain and struggled to look at Su Yan, "Father, why is this happening?"

Jiang Caiping recovered and frowned disapprovingly, "My Lord, His Majesty has already given you a warning, why are you..."

"Do you know why His Majesty is so angry that he summoned me to the palace today?"

Meeting Su Yan's angry eyes, Jiang Caiping's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head.

"A city on the border was almost lost, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost. The emperor was so angry that he almost wanted to execute the entire Ningyuan Marquis family!"

"I originally said that we should return to the border as soon as possible! It is because you want to stay for a few more days that such a big thing happened at the border! Be careful about the heads of the people in our mansion, whether they can still stay safely where they should be!!"

Jiang Caiping froze and murmured, "How is it possible..."

Su Chengjiang and Su Jingnian, who were originally indignant, were also shocked.

Su Zhiyao's heart began to beat wildly. She didn't want to die yet! She was just the adopted daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. Even if the whole family was executed, she would definitely not be affected!

"My Lord...what should we do now..." Jiang Caiping said hesitantly.

Su Yan sighed, "Your Majesty, in consideration of the Marquis's past contributions, has punished me by not allowing me to enter the capital without an imperial decree. As for the other two, they will stay in the capital."

Jiang Caiping finally let go of her worries, "That's good."

Only then did Su Yan ask, "Where is that girl Su Jinyue?"

"She must have gone back home first!" Su Chengjiang said, "She must be so happy to see us being punished!"

Su Yan's face darkened, "We are all from Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, we are one family, she really thinks that if something goes wrong, she can stay out of it!"

By then, it was getting dark.

Su Jinyue and Xiaotao did not enter the mansion through the front door, but entered through the back door of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

"Miss, why do we have to sneak into the mansion?"

When she brought Xiao Tao back to Wangyuexuan, there were no maids anywhere in the yard. These maids had been raised by her to be undisciplined, and when the mistress was not in the yard, no one knew where they went to have fun.

But this was exactly what Su Jinyue wanted, "If my grandmother's people knew I was back, I wouldn't be able to leave."

"Go?" Xiao Tao didn't understand. "Miss, where are you going?"

Su Jinyue put away all the valuables on the dressing table and collected all the banknotes she could carry with her.

She turned and looked at Xiao Tao with a determined look, "Go to the border!"

"Border?!" Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise, quickly covering her lips and lowering her voice, "Miss, you can't do that!"

Su Jinyue said: "Xiaotao, don't stop me. If I don't go, more people might die!"

Xiao Tao bit her lip, "Miss, if you really want to leave, take Xiao Tao with you. Xiao Tao wants to be with you in life and death..."

"Hey!" Su Jinyue covered Xiaotao's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Jinyue was also worried about leaving Xiao Tao in the house, so she nodded and said, "Pack your bags, and we'll leave the city before the city gates are locked!"

"Yes, Miss!"

After the two of them packed up everything, Xiao Tao went to the stable in the mansion and secretly led out the horse that Xiao Duo had given to Su Jinyue!

"Miss!"

Su Jinyue changed into a dark suit, holding a black veiled hat in her hand, and waited at the corner outside the mansion.

While the servant at the back door was changing shifts, Xiao Tao led the horse out!

Holding the horse, Su Jinyue looked up at the sun that was about to set, took out a silver ingot and gave it to Xiaotao, "Go to the city and rent a carriage, and rush out of the city to meet me!"

"Yes, miss!" Xiao Tao took the silver and did not dare to delay for a moment.

Riding a horse fast is not allowed in the capital city, so Su Jinyue led the horse to the city gate. After being allowed to pass by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, she arrived outside the city gate and immediately jumped on the horse and rode forward!

The strong wind blew up the hair at her temples. Su Jinyue had only one thing on her mind: whether Xiao Duo and the others had already left the city?
