"Princess Changle colluded with Marquis Anding to fake her own death, committing the capital crime of framing the royal family and deceiving the emperor. However, considering that Marquis Anding had followed the late emperor in his battles for many years, and although he had no merit, he had worked hard, he was sentenced to have his property confiscated, demoted to a commoner, and exiled seven thousand miles away. In addition, the next nine generations of the Mo family are not allowed to return to the capital to become scholars for life. I decree--"

In the court, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department read out the imperial edict in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Every word of the neat regular script on the imperial edict sentenced the Marquis of Anding and his family to exile.

Xiahou Le did as he said and gave lenient punishment to Marquis Anding's family.

Marquis Anding knelt in the center of the hall and had to accept the imperial edict and kowtow to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Xiahou Le looked down at him, but did not respond. He just said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low, "Dismiss the court."

Marquis Anding remained kneeling until all the officials in the hall had left. Only then did the guards holding the imperial edict pull him up, put shackles on him, and send him back.

Mo Weixin was being held in the Sky Prison at this time.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, Song Qingxue called Xiahou Chongyuan and hurried to the Heavenly Prison.

When he heard the rattling of the cell chains, Mo Weixin rolled and crawled to the door to take a look.

"Chongyuan!"

Her tone was full of surprise, and there was even a hint of smile on her face.

"Chongyuan, you are here to save me, right?"

"Of course he is not here to save you." Song Qingxue spoke from behind Xiahou Chongyuan, staring at her with a smile, then let go of the handle of the wheelchair, took the food box from the palace maid, and walked to the prison door.

Song Qingxue asked someone to open the cell door, walked in with the food box in her hand, and then placed the food in the food box on the low table in the cell.

"What are you doing?"

Mo Weixin looked at her actions and said with disdain, "Hypocritical."

"I'm bringing you food not because I'm afraid you'll be hungry." Song Qingxue smiled as she served her some rice, placed it in front of her, and placed chopsticks for her before continuing, "Princess, this should be your last good meal, enjoy it."

Mo Weixin stared with a slightly fierce tone: "What do you mean?"

"It means that your Anding Marquis Mansion has run out of luck."

"No way!" Even though she was already in prison, she still naively believed that the Anding Marquis' Mansion was still as prosperous as before.

She always believed that her father would come to save her.

"It's true. Today, the emperor has issued an order to demote your Mo family to commoners and confiscate all their property."

At this point, Song Qingxue was too lazy to mock her, because just telling her the truth was enough to make her feel painful and uncomfortable.

"I don't believe it! My Mo family has been loyal for generations and have devoted our lives to the Xiahou family. The emperor can't do this to us!" Mo Weixin shouted, suddenly raised his eyes and glared at her, then raised his hand and grabbed her neck.

"It must be you! You must have said something to the emperor, this witch, which caused my Mo family to end up like this!"

"Witch! Go to hell!" Mo Weixin yelled and strangled her neck with both hands.

Song Qingxue was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. Just as she was about to raise her hand to open her hands, she felt a gust of wind blowing past.

By the time he reacted, Mo Weixin had already been thrown out.

I saw her back hit the wall heavily, and then she fell to the ground with a bang.

"puff--"

“Ahem…”

Mo Weixin lay on the ground, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, and stared at Xiahou Chongyuan in disbelief.

"Chongyuan, you, you..."

"Changle, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person!"

After Xiahou Chongyuan scolded, he quickly turned around to help Song Qingxue.

"Qingxue, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Song Qingxue stood up with the help of his help.

Mo Weixin was just an ordinary girl, and her strength was not enough to strangle someone to death. Even if Xiahou Chongyuan did not take action, she would be able to handle it.

"Chongyuan, you actually hurt me for this bitch!"

Mo Weixin never thought that one day he would be seriously injured by Xiahou Chongyuan.

She hated Song Qingxue with all her might.

"Bitch!" She cursed angrily and was so angry that she overturned the table.

She wanted to hit Song Qingxue with a stool, but was blocked by Xiahou Chongyuan.

Xiahou Chongyuan was really angry. With a gloomy face, he kicked her to the ground, then helped Song Qingxue out of the cell.

The prison door was locked again. Mo Weixin kept staring at Xiahou Chongyuan, but he never looked back.

Mo Weixin gritted his teeth, slowly clenched his hands into fists, and then hammered them hard on the cold, hard ground.

Song Qingxue, I will make you pay the price!

…

The next day, the police came and took Mo Weixin away.

The journey of exile was very hard, and Mo Weixin, who had been spoiled since childhood, naturally couldn't bear it.

But she did not complain like her aunt and brothers and sisters in the mansion. She was waiting, waiting for Zhao Wanqiu to send someone to rescue her.

She knew Zhao Wanqiu would come to save her.

"Ouch!"

Mo Weixin walked forward numbly with tired steps, and suddenly heard a shout.

"Sir! I can't walk anymore. I really can't walk anymore. Can I take a rest?"

The one who was speaking was a concubine in the mansion. She was the most beautiful and favored concubine in the backyard of the mansion. Normally, in the mansion, she had to be pampered to the extent of riding in a sedan chair just to go to the courtyard of the eldest lady. Now, she had been exiled with the Mo family all the way, so naturally she could not bear this hardship.

"stand up!"

"I really can't walk anymore. I've been walking for most of the day. I'm so tired, sir. Please let me rest for a while!"

The aunt must have been so tired that she could hardly move, and she began to cry as she spoke.

Pearl-like tears fell down, and coupled with her delicate and cute appearance, it made people feel very distressed.

Seeing this, others also started to plead, "Sir, we have indeed gone too far. Please be flexible and let us take a break!"

However, the officials did not buy it.

They raised the whips in their hands and whipped the Mo family members.

"ah!"

"Sir, please spare my life!"

The officer listened to their pleas for mercy, put away the whip, glared at them, and shouted fiercely: "Go!"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

"Let's go, let's go..."

They couldn't even take a break, which made it even more difficult for the concubines who had already been exiled because of the crime to swallow this.

"This is the eldest lady! She is truly the eldest lady! She used to show off in the mansion when she was in glory, but now that she is down and out, she wants to make others suffer with her!"

"That's right, Master, it's really unlucky for you to have a daughter like this!"

"Humph, we are so unlucky! We have been working like slaves in the mansion for so many years. When things were good, we had nothing to do, but now we have to be exiled!"

"Exiled seven thousand miles away, never allowed to return to the capital..."

"This life is worse than death. What's the point of living like this?"

"Yeah, exile... you might as well just chop me up!"

"Noise, noise, noise! ​​What are you noisy about!" The officer listened and shouted angrily again.

Because the officer shouted at them to stop, the concubines kept their mouths shut. However, they all looked at Mo Weixin with hatred, as if they wanted to cut her into pieces with their eyes.

It was all because of her that the Anding Marquis Mansion, once a prosperous and wealthy family, became so impoverished overnight.
