Chapter 281 They will probably never meet again in this life
Zhou Yao's pupils trembled.
No matter how stupid you are, you will understand it now.
The wolf cub was pretending and deceiving her. From the day he tricked her into pretending to be dead, he had already decided to get rid of her.
"Bastard! You lied to me! I'm not dead! I'm not dead! I'm your mother, I'm Zhou Yao!" Zhou Yao roared and struggled to rush towards the wolf cub. The officers and soldiers who had not yet completely let go of her instinctively grabbed her.
The wolf cub looked at her coldly, "Where did this lunatic come from? My biological mother is dead, my name has been removed from the family tree, and the government has cancelled my household registration. What's more, my last name is Tang, not Chen, Zhou, or Lin."
I didn't expect the wolf cub to do it so perfectly.
In this world, she, Zhou Yao, is already dead and cannot prove that she is Zhou Yao or that she is still alive.
"You bastard, you want to get rid of me? You're dreaming. It was you who drugged Changning. It was you who asked me to pretend to be a ghost and drive her crazy..."
The wolf cub didn't stop Zhou Yao from shouting. Instead, he looked helplessly at the officers and soldiers holding Zhou Yao and said, "Maybe he can't accept the fact that he will be punished as a military slave. He has gone crazy. Please take good care of him."
After saying that, the wolf cub put a bag of silver in the hands of the officers and soldiers.
Although the officers and soldiers are just minor officials, they have worked their way up the ranks and are all quite shrewd.
It is a fact that Prince Long collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. The entire Prince Long's Mansion has collapsed, and Changning is no longer the princess who can act tyrannically. Who would investigate what Marquis Longfeng did to her, true or false? Who would believe the words of a crazy servant?
As to whether this person is the Marquis' biological mother, the Marquis has already stated that his biological mother is dead.
"Your Majesty is too polite. This is what I should do." He responded with an apologetic smile, and the soldiers dragged Zhou Yao away.
Zhou Yao struggled in vain and wanted to continue shouting, but before she could make a sound, her mouth was blocked and only excited and sad sobs could be heard.
While Prince Long's Mansion was being dealt with, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion on the other side was also being processed.
When Prince Long was thoroughly investigated, Marquis Yong'an was also investigated as well.
The things done by Marquis Yong'an had not been tried in the first place because they wanted to implicate Prince Long. Once the door was opened, a thorough investigation was conducted that day, and the confession and sentencing were completed in one go.
Marquis Yong'an passed on intelligence without knowing that Prince Long was collaborating with the enemy, which did not count as treason, but he was charged with the crimes of killing soldiers, neglecting his duty for personal gain, and deserting the battlefield, and was sentenced to execution in the autumn.
The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was also confiscated and the people were exiled, even Liang, who was imprisoned, was exiled.
Because there was no evidence to prove Lin Chuan's death and there was insufficient evidence to prove that he hired a killer, Liang was not sentenced to death. She was still the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, but she was punished for multiple crimes. Not only was she exiled, but she was also shackled.
"No! I don't want to be exiled! It was me who killed Lin Chuan and those slaves. I admit it. Sentence me to death!" After being pulled out of the prison, Liang confessed at the top of her lungs.
But no one listened to her and just dragged her out violently.
Liang struggled with all her might but it was of no avail. Her blood rushed up and her heart ached violently.
She gritted her teeth, trying not to show her pain.
Just like that, endure it, just a few breaths will be enough, then you can die, you can be free...
Before Liang could continue thinking, Doctor Chang stepped forward, pinched Liang's mouth open with one hand, and stuffed the heart pill in his hand into her throat with the other hand, forcing her to swallow it.
The pain in her heart eased immediately, and Liang stared at Doctor Chang with red eyes filled with hatred.
Doctor Chang patted the remaining powder on his hands and said with a smile, "I have been treating heart diseases for many years and have some experience. I can tell if the Marquis's heart disease has relapsed by the slightest change in her condition. Don't worry, I am entrusted by Concubine Su to ensure that the Marquis's heart disease lives a long and healthy life."
"You..." Liang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but under the careful care of Doctor Chang, her health improved and she couldn't vomit at all.
Live a hundred years?
That is constant torture for a long life, it is simply hell on earth.
Unfortunately, Liang no longer has the right to decide his own life or death.
Similarly, Su Ye, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the second and third wives who had already separated from the family were not spared. Only his married daughter and several young sons were able to stay out of the disaster.
He was exiled together with everyone from Prince Tonglong's palace, and was taken to the city gate in a prison cart early in the morning.
Although Prince Long was dead, the people's anger had not yet subsided. Many people took rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and sewage and waited outside the door. As soon as the person was released from the prison car, they threw all kinds of things at him, regardless of who the person was.
Of course, once everyone comes out, we can tell them apart by their shackles.
Those wearing heavy shackles and anklets were those who participated in the sale of the country, and naturally became the main targets of attack.
The higher-ups had instructed us not to set off in a hurry, as this would give the people time to vent their anger. The escorting officers and soldiers tactfully stepped aside to chat, and they thought these people would not dare to run away.
Indeed, no one dared to run, but those who were agile also hid to the side.
For example, Su Ye.
He had no shackles on his body and no one was watching him, but he could feel two pairs of eyes on him.
One of them was Miss Wang, who had already broken off her engagement with him.
From a distance, you could see her red and swollen eyes looking out from the carriage.
After this farewell, we will never be together again.
Su Ye turned his eyes away and stopped looking. Since they were not on the same path, why should he waste her time?
But Su Ye did not look for the other gaze.
He just reached out and squeezed the wolf tooth necklace hanging on his chest, took a deep breath, and turned around.
When the smash was almost complete and further damage would easily result in loss of life, the officers and soldiers struck the gong and pulled the chains to start the exile.
A large group of hundreds of people walked away step by step, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight.
On the city wall, Su Rui still did not look away as he looked at the direction where those people disappeared.
She also knew that Su Ye knew she was there, but he just didn't look up at her.
Maybe he felt ashamed, or maybe he resented her for harming his entire family. Whatever it was, they would probably never see each other again in this life.
Originally, she was not going to come here today.
But last night, she dreamed again.
She dreamed of returning to the imaginary home she had in her coma. Su Ye brought a freshly picked peach to her, sweating profusely but smiling with his teeth showing, and shouted, "Rui'er, it's sweet. Come and take a bite and try it."
Before she could bite, she woke up.
Since waking up from her coma, she often wondered, even though it was an illusion, wasn't it in another world that the illusion was real?
I don’t know if it was because she became sentimental, or because she superimposed the Su Ye in her dream with the Su Ye in reality, or maybe it was because she was relieved that everything had settled and they would never meet again in the future, but she still came here.
"Concubine, the wind is blowing, let's go back." Luo E put a cloak on Su Rui and persuaded her in a low voice.
Su Rui gathered his cloak, took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Let's go back."
