People can also understand why the Sun family is eager to accept Miss Wu San as their family. They are afraid that if something happens one day, they will have other forces to rely on and will not be completely defeated by the Xu family.
I heard that Miss Xu's body was found in a dungeon near the Sun Mansion Ancestral Hall, and now the Xu family has carried the coffin to welcome her.
Tsk tsk tsk, many people still remember that the marriage between the Sun and Xu families was a perfect match praised by many people, but they did not expect it to end up like this.
The emperor summoned Duke Sun and kept him in the hall, and has not let him leave until now.
"Even at this point, you still won't tell the truth, huh?"
The situation today was exactly the same as yesterday. The emperor sat on the dragon throne in the main hall, General Xu stood, and Duke Sun knelt.
But the atmosphere was quite different. The emperor clenched his hands in his sleeves, his anger reaching the top of his head; General Xu had lost his strength, his eyes were full of fatigue, and he no longer had the energy like yesterday; Duke Sun was shaking uncontrollably, his eyes were full of despair.
"My dear relatives, General Xu! I have said it many times, my son would never do such a thing as killing his wife. Someone must have framed him!
And there's also the plot to murder the prince... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please see clearly! Ziyou was raised under your watch, and he was educated in the upper study room with the other princes. How could he possibly do such a rebellious thing?
"You dare to quibble!" The emperor smashed the inkstone beside him, but it missed Duke Sun and instead splashed ink all over the floor, staining the Duke's official uniform. "He didn't commit treason, so did Yuan'er set himself on fire? Did he poison himself? So many people saw it with their own eyes, and you still dare to complain!"
The emperor was angry, really angry, and he felt like he had been fooled.
Early this morning, the seventh prince's guards brought Sun Ziyou to the palace and told the emperor in detail what happened last night. Of course, there was no part about Xu Yiyan, after all, the guards did not see Miss Xu.
Upon hearing this, the emperor became furious and ordered Sun Ziyou to be brought in for personal trial. However, no matter how the emperor questioned him, Sun Ziyou remained silent, like a wooden man.
The emperor was so angry that he put him directly into the Tianlao and asked the Ministry of Justice to conduct a strict investigation to find out the truth.
Now that the two parties involved have been called in, the Sun family actually claims ignorance and keeps complaining. Isn’t this deceiving the emperor!
"Your Majesty! The Seventh Prince and my son's encounter is already strange. Why would he sneak to my farm outside the capital in the middle of the night? They say the Sun Mansion was plotting treason, but Your Majesty also saw that there were only those forty or fifty people among the corpses of the rebels. They were all local soldiers from the farm. How could they be plotting a rebellion?
"Ziyou went to the manor on my orders to check. It was a coincidence! I think Ziyou must have thought someone was stealing something, so he brought people to check and accidentally injured the Seventh Prince!"
Duke Sun himself knew that his words were full of loopholes, but if he did not clear himself of the charge of treason, the entire government would be finished.
"Hmph, how could the soldiers have so many bows and arrows? Do you take me for a fool, or His Majesty? Besides, why is my daughter's body in the dungeon of your manor? Didn't you move it early because you were guilty?"
Duke Sun slapped his thigh vigorously, his face filled with the words "I can't explain it to you." He was unaware of Xu Yixing's affairs, and he firmly believed that the one at home was the real one, otherwise he wouldn't have tolerated General Xu yesterday.
"That body has been rotting for so long that the face is unrecognizable. How can you say it's your daughter? Your daughter is sleeping peacefully in my house right now. Stop slandering her!"
During the stalemate, a young eunuch ran in and handed a thick piece of paper to the emperor.
After reading it, the emperor's face became even worse: "Take a look for yourself!" He threw it out and the straw paper flew all over the sky.
Duke Sun knelt down and walked a few steps, then grabbed the pages of paper. The more he read, the more shocked he became. It was the confession of a man named Gao Yao.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, who is this Gao Yao? This is impossible. What brothel? Brothel girl? Ziyou, it's impossible..." Duke Sun took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't catch his breath and fainted in the hall.
General Xu ignored him and snatched the confession from his hand. Before he finished reading it, his eyes were about to bleed.
"Your Majesty! My grandson You killed my eldest daughter, found someone to replace her, and even murdered the prince. Your Majesty, will you take action?"
Old Man Xu seemed to be completely unaware that his tone was very harsh. This was not the tone one should use when speaking to the emperor.
However, the emperor didn't mind. When he learned that Yuan'er had been poisoned that morning, he was even angrier than Old Man Xu. Even though he wasn't close to the Seventh Prince, he felt offended when he heard someone hurt his son.
"Lord Xu, don't worry. I promised you an explanation, and I will. I cannot tolerate what the Sun family did this time. I will have the Ministry of Justice and Shen Yue handle this case together, and I will definitely give you justice."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Old Man Xu seemed to have aged instantly and did not have the energy to say anything else.
"You, I heard that your family has gone to receive the spirit. You should go and take your daughter back. I will have someone draft the divorce agreement and issue it immediately."
"Long live, long live, long live."
Watching General Xu leave and then Duke Sun being carried out, the emperor was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. He hadn't been very optimistic about this marriage in the first place, and now it had indeed ended in tragedy. What a pity!
The setting sun is shining, but unfortunately no one is enjoying it today.
From the east gate all the way to the Fuyuan General's Mansion, paper money led the way, accompanied by wails of grief. Xu Yiwen led the way, followed by a massive, pitch-black coffin.
When he rushed to the outskirts of Beijing after receiving the news, he always felt that it was unreal. How could his lively, bright and graceful sister be said to be dead?
Although he had imagined his sister committing suicide when he thought she was disfigured, he still couldn't accept it when he was told that his sister had died a long time ago.
However, he was unwilling to see his efforts go in vain, so he saw with his own eyes the workers putting his dead sister into the coffin. Looking at her bright red wedding dress, he seemed to be back on the day of his sister's wedding.
That day, I was supposed to block the door, but my brother-in-law, who was very knowledgeable about the market, sent me a painting called "Autumn Residence", so I let him pass. He even cried secretly that day, just after my sister got into the sedan chair, not wanting to see her again, as it would be forever.
Why, why? Why!
It’s all because of my grandson’s worry!
Xu Yiwen's eyes were bloodshot, and his vision was a little blurry. He heard that the beast had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. He had to find a way to kill him.
Of the three Xu siblings, Xu Yiwen was the first to understand the truth of the impermanence of life and death. Born without a mother, he was raised by a wet nurse. The death of a loved one was the first thing he experienced in life. He had assumed he was accustomed to life and death and wouldn't be saddened by it anymore.
