In order to make the emperor suffer, he did not eliminate Xie Jingyan, and was ultimately defeated by Xie Jingyan.
This was the only thing that King Cheng regretted.
Even as death loomed, King Cheng showed no remorse and deliberately provoked the emperor; he truly deserved to die.
When Prince Cheng betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, no one dared to plead for him. He was the emperor's own brother, born of the same mother. Even the emperor couldn't tolerate him. If they pleaded for him, they would be labeled as accomplices, and their entire family would have to buy two miles of land. Even if they died, they would be beaten back to life.
The next day, King Cheng and his son Xie Jingyin were sent to the execution ground and beheaded in public.
Also beheaded were the concubines of Prince Cheng's mansion, Xie Jingyin's principal wife and concubine. Their crimes of treason and collusion with the enemy brought disaster upon their entire families, and no one could escape it.
Princess Cheng and Crown Prince Cheng have already shaved their heads, so worldly affairs will no longer concern them, nor will they care about them anymore.
Princess Yong'an, on the other hand, was crying her eyes out.
Although she hated her father for cruelly throwing her mother into the well and taking her life, Prince Cheng was still her father, and she couldn't turn a blind eye.
But she couldn't even go to the palace to plead for Prince Cheng; she couldn't even enter the palace.
All she could do was collect her father's body.
He fainted from crying during the execution, and when he woke up, the King's head was gone. Xie Jingyan had said he would use the head of the King to worship his mother, and he meant what he said.
Xie Jingyin's head was sent to the Cold Palace so that Empress Song could see it one last time.
When Empress Song learned that Prince Cheng and Xie Jingyin had been captured and brought back to the capital, she knew that they were doomed.
But she never expected that Xie Jingyan would send her her son's head.
Empress Song has gone mad.
She struggled desperately.
He died suddenly in the cold palace that night.
The next day, when the palace servants informed the Emperor of Empress Song's death, the Emperor's expression remained completely unchanged.
If Xie Jingyan hadn't spared Empress Song's life, she would have died long ago; how could she have been allowed to live until now?
A deposed empress who also secretly conceived a child with another man.
Burying her in the imperial mausoleum would be a desecration of it.
The Emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Yuan ordered his men to drag the deposed Empress Song out of the palace and bury her.
As for where to bury them, nobody cares.
Empress Song and Xie Jingyin both died, but Princess Shouchun did not.
Princess Shouchun should be the Emperor's child. When he was pregnant with Princess Shouchun, Prince Cheng was not in the capital. But with a shameless Empress Song as his mother, even if she was his own child, the Emperor would still feel disgusted.
The Emperor betrothed Princess Shouchun a few months ago, and she should be married in a few months. Her new home is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and she will probably never return to the capital in her lifetime.
