Chapter 51 Confiscation of property, exile 3
The people waiting outside could no longer wait. They rushed into Prince Xiao's mansion with tools in hand, ready to start their work with quick movements.
But they were destined to be disappointed. From inside to outside, from top to bottom, except for Prince Xiao's bedroom which looked intact, the entire Prince Xiao's Mansion looked like an empty house that had been abandoned for a long time. They dug deep into the ground trying to find something valuable, but found that even the fish in the backyard pond were gone.
The flowers and plants had been completely plucked out, leaving only half a bundle of firewood and a pile of chicken feathers in the kitchen...
This was probably the first time that a house was ransacked to such an extent. Kuang Zhengye walked out of Prince Xiao's Mansion holding the door frame and shook his head almost imperceptibly at Eunuch Gao who was standing at the gate, meaning that there was really nothing left in Prince Xiao's Mansion.
Eunuch Gao was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. Who would believe such a nonsense as the Prince Xiao's Mansion was emptied by thieves?
If the palace was really emptied by unscrupulous thieves, given the brutal and tyrannical style of Prince Xiao's palace, wouldn't they have personally tied up the Shuntian prefect and held his head down for investigation?
Why did they come to search the house? Did He Bo tell him that the palace was robbed?
But the imperial decree had already been issued, ordering Prince Xiao to leave Prince Xiao's mansion within an hour. The emperor's original intention was to make it easier for them to search the house, so he cleared out everyone in Prince Xiao's mansion first to avoid any complications.
Su Wanyan had already returned to Ji Xiaohan's side. She hadn't moved the things in the room. She told Xiaowu to pack up, and she stayed by Ji Xiaohan's side, touching the large bed made of golden nanmu wood, and sighed, "What a pity, such a nice bed."
Ji Xiaohan moved his fingers under the quilt. Why was his little princess so cute?
There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, followed by He Bo's voice, "Princess, the carriage is ready. I am here to invite the prince to set off with you."
Su Wanyan retracted her hand from touching the bed and raised her voice, saying, "Okay, take someone to clean up the things in the room. No matter how hard it is, don't make the prince suffer."
He Bo then pushed the door open and came in, followed by several palace guards. After coming in, they respectfully saluted Prince Xiao and Su Wanyan, without any frustration or anxiety about the disaster that had befallen Prince Xiao's palace. Although Prince Xiao was unconscious, he was tall and strong, and it took two guards to lift him up. He Bo protected Ji Xiaohan, Xiao Wu supported Su Wanyan, and the group left the bedroom without looking back.
The yamen runners guarding the bedroom door immediately rushed in and looted the entire Prince Xiao's Mansion. Only Prince Xiao's bedroom still looked like a prince's, but they didn't dare to take anything privately. Nothing was found in the search of Prince Xiao's Mansion. This was the only place where everything had to be handed over.
The news of Prince Xiao's confiscation of his property and his exile spread like wildfire, and many people gathered outside the gate in disbelief. The Emperor had only recently granted Prince Xiao a marriage to celebrate his happiness, so how could the Emperor confiscate his property just three days after marrying him?
The reason is that the troops are stationed to rebel?
Do you think everyone else is a fool? You can't even find a decent excuse. King Xiao is a general who leads troops to fight in battles. It's normal for him to have soldiers under his command!
This is because they feel that even a wedding to bring good luck cannot save King Xiao, and there will be no war in the Great Zhou Kingdom in the next few years. They feel that King Xiao is no longer valuable, so they just throw him out to fend for himself!
In the crowd, Su Hongan and his daughter Su Rongyan were hiding inside to watch the fun. When they met Su Wanyan's gaze, they hurriedly dodged away, for fear of being implicated by her!
