It was getting dark in the imperial prison.
Xie Xuan had had enough of staying here and was finally able to leave.
Pei Huanqiao wore a light green dress, looking low-key and well-behaved.
However, she kept her head down, lost in thought. She knew a little bit that Xie Xuan was going to cause trouble again, but she couldn't dissuade her at all.
Even if she knelt on the ground crying and hugged his legs, he would only beat her to death.
He may look handsome, but it's all just a facade; inside he's a devil.
Xie Xuan pinched her chin and asked, "What do you want to do after we get out?"
Pei Huanqiao replied obediently, "Of course, I will do whatever my master asks me to do."
Xie Xuan lost interest in her submissive demeanor; he was tired of everything in this prison, and the dim lighting made his heart yearn for the wild.
Pei Huanqiao was very nervous, but she couldn't show it.
Xie Xuan chuckled; her face was beautiful and her voice pleasant. "What do you think of your sister compared to you?"
Pei Huanqiao's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was referring to the Crown Princess, but she dared not, and could only deny it, saying, "This concubine does not know."
Xie Xuan smiled, a little strangely: "You'll know once you have the chance to try it. After we get out, you can try all the good stuff. I'd be happy to."
Pei Huanqiao obediently agreed, otherwise what else could she do?
Xie Xuan was delighted: "I'll spoil you, you'll grow to like it."
Pei Huanqiao turned her head and saw a sound, and then it quickly lit up.
Bright torches and exquisite lamps seemed to welcome Xie Xuan as he went out.
Xie Xuan looked up and saw his father.
The King of Wu was dressed in ordinary clothes, and was followed by several people, making quite a grand procession.
Xie Xuan looked at his father, wondering what was going on.
The King of Wu looked at him and said coldly, "The sage did not grant you the right to commit suicide, so you should be more self-aware. Whatever you like, I will grant it to you."
Xie Xuan was stunned. Although she had thought about it, she asked, "Does my mother know?"
The King of Wu asked, "Do you want your mother to be too ashamed to face anyone and go with you, or do you want me to accompany you?"
Xie Xuan pursed his lips. Was it that serious? Or had his father given up on him?
The King of Wu said, "Let's be straightforward, don't make me invite you. You wouldn't want Minghou turned into a human or a pig, would you?"
Xie Xuan trembled in fright.
The lights were now extremely bright, and Xie Xuan's eyes had adjusted. Looking at the expressions of the people behind her, it seemed genuine. Who was so ruthless? Weren't they afraid of being talked about?
The emperor must be benevolent, the crown prince must be benevolent, and the crown princess...?
Xie Xuan thought about it, and realized she might actually dare! But how come she's alright?
The eunuch whispered to himself, "Perhaps it's divine intervention?"
It's hard to say whether one has the destiny of a phoenix; being blessed by Heaven is equivalent to having the destiny of a phoenix.
Xie Xuan's face turned pale!
He didn't provoke them himself!
The King of Wu looked at his son with a cold and hard expression, never expecting him to be so stupid!
Why does he abandon his comfortable life as a prince and instead scheme against the crown princess? Does he even want to become emperor?
This son doesn't even care about his father anymore; King Wu really doesn't need to show any more emotion.
Compared to others, even though the imperial family is ruthless, he was quite good to his son. Perhaps it was this affection that prevented him from taking action.
After all, his father had talked to him before he left, and his heart softened a little. But no matter what, it's not a reason for his son to betray his father.
Xie Yu certainly wouldn't touch him, but King Xiang and King Jing might be a different story. King Wu was afraid that this son would cause trouble for his father in the future.
Xie Xuan suddenly burst into tears, turned around and strangled Pei Huanqiao to death.
No one stopped them, and they didn't even have time to talk about the Pei family's bizarre affairs.
However, the medicine that Chang Ziyu gave to Qian was probably given by Xie Xuan or Prince Jing.
Xie Xuan turned to the King of Wu and said, "Throw her into a mass grave. You do it yourselves; I can't bring myself to do it."
The King of Wu did not approach; it's hard to say whether this rebellious son might have murdered his father.
A jailer went in and strangled him.
The King of Wu closed his eyes and led Xie Su away.
Xie Su silently followed his father, feeling that Xie Xuan had died in his place.
Actually, he wasn't that determined; he wouldn't dare to do it again unless he was absolutely certain.
The King of Wu said to him, "Your Highness is a benevolent ruler!"
We can't say it too high, or we'll be setting Xie Zhou up for failure. But the word "benevolence" also means that as long as you don't court death, you won't die.
Xie Su looked at the spring night sky and thought of the Crown Princess again. Was she really destined for a life of luxury?
Anyway, the King of Wu thought she was quite divine.
The night wind is strong!
Someone rushed to King Wu, pleading, "King Wu, please save King Jing!"
The night wind couldn't move King Wu. He said coldly, "What did King Jing do?"
The person who came didn't understand, or was in a hurry to say, "The Imperial Guards have surrounded the Prince's Mansion."
The King of Wu nodded: "Don't worry, His Majesty won't take his life. Unless he comes to his own senses."
The emperor certainly wouldn't casually take his brother's life; it wouldn't sound good. Even dealing with the Crown Princess wouldn't look good if word got out.
The men who came tried to entangle with the King of Wu, but were captured.
He thought the King of Wu, who held a special position in the Great Zhao, was someone else.
What could King Jing compare to King Wu? King Wu was the most unique one.
King Wu looked at Xie Su and said, "Come with me to the palace so that we can apologize to the sage in person."
Xie Su was so frightened that his legs trembled, thinking he had to atone for his sins with his death.
**
Anxingfang is not peaceful tonight.
The Chen family, including Chen Zuo and his grandson, gathered in the study.
Since both Chen Ke and Chen Yin had taken the imperial examination route, they attracted many suitors.
Chen Ke was quite resolute; to put it bluntly, he looked down on the Xue family. Why would the Chen family, which was doing just fine, get involved with the Xue family?
Chen Ke is also a serious student, unlike the Xue family.
Besides, the Chen family has a criminal record; if they get involved, they'll be in deep trouble very quickly.
Chen Zhen also sneaked into the study, puzzled: "What happened to the Pei family?"
The servant replied from the side, "It's quite complicated. Chang Ziyu killed Qian Shi, Pei Bo returned and killed Li Shi, and it seems Pei Huanqiao was also sent back."
After all, for the Pei family, Pei Huanqiao being favored by the Prince of Yongning and having been pregnant was the best outcome.
Another servant came to report: "A group of people from the Pei family were fighting over something. The yamen officials came and drove them out, and the house was finally sealed off."
Chen Zuo was speechless, preoccupied with the things. But this kind of situation was not uncommon, especially with the Pei family, with whom he had no affection whatsoever.
A servant returned with the news: "Xie Xuan died suddenly in prison."
Chen Ke's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Yin was terrified!
Xie Xuan was granted the title of Prince of the County from a young age, making him even more prestigious than a prince in Sheng'an!
On this spring night, death can come in an instant.
How many lives does the Chen family have? The entire Chen family combined probably isn't worth as much as Xie Xuan.
Chen Zuo was pleased to see that his grandsons had finally grown up and understood things.
Chen Zhen was puzzled: "Why all of a sudden?" After all, they had been locked up for a while.
The old servant gleaned some information: "It seems to be related to the Qing'e Palace."
Chen Zhen was dumbfounded.
Chen Zuo immediately admonished, "Be careful what you say!"
Chen Ke nodded. In any case, as a subject, he should avoid provoking Qing'e Palace in the future.
Chen Zuo doesn't want to get involved now; he just wants to live his life behind closed doors.
Sheng'an is often stormy, and a storm can come at any time.
Some families can last for a hundred years.
Of course, the Chen family is the same; Chen Zuo is able to manage this family well.
Chen Ke felt a pang of guilt when he saw the white hair on his grandfather's head. As the eldest grandson, it was time for him to step up and take charge.
Although he is You Dabiao's nephew, all of that will pass.
Chen Zhen was somewhat curious about Qing'e Palace, but that person was too powerful; she couldn't afford to offend her. Even princesses had fallen into her hands.
