The concubines didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to say anything. Since Concubine Yuan and her party were punished, they had to go back to the mansion to understand the situation before saying anything else.
"Eighth Prince, the Emperor has ordered us to take Your Highness back to the palace." Eunuch Li walked over.
"This prince is going to the general's mansion." Sang Zhi said coldly.
"Your Highness, please come back to the palace with me." Eunuch Li persuaded.
Sang Zhi raised his foot and walked towards the crowd.
Eunuch Li was in a dilemma. He did not dare to let the man go because he had the emperor's order. He waved his hand, and two secret guards suddenly appeared beside Sang Zhi and forcibly took him back to the palace.
When Lord Song saw that the main force had left, he ordered his soldiers to disperse the crowd on the street.
For a time, the people were all praising the emperor for his decisiveness. No matter how favored Concubine Yuan was, she would fall in the blink of an eye because of her treason.
Royal fortune and misfortune come quickly and go away quickly.
Civil and military officials returned to their mansions after the court session. Many of them knew the outcome and ordered that no one in the mansion should discuss the matter of Sifang Mountain.
No one wants to get into trouble at this time.
General's Mansion
Everyone was not too surprised to learn of the emperor's edict. Faced with internal and external troubles, the emperor only cared about power, and the emperor's feelings were never worth mentioning.
"Sending her to the frontier is too easy for her." Zhan Chi said angrily.
"Do you really think the emperor will exile her to the border?" Qian Fanji glanced at him coldly.
Zhan Chi paused, very surprised: "Why? No way?"
"Heh." Qianfanji chuckled coldly.
"What do you mean by this? Is being exiled to the frontier a lie?" Zhan Chi asked.
"Just pretending." Gu Shuo said.
"What?" Zhan Chi was shocked and then furious: "Are the alchemy families just putting on an act?"
"No matter if it's just for show or not, the person must be sent to the frontier." Zhan Yi walked in from outside. "The emperor's decree didn't mention the child at all. Moreover, at the morning court, all officials were aware of Dean Chen and the Qian family's revocation of their citizenship. The emperor's attitude is very firm."
"Even if he wants to make amends, my Qian family will not stay in Beili." Qian Fanji could not be loyal to such an emperor.
"Our most urgent task is to transport the child's body out of Beili. Dean Chen means to set off tomorrow. The longer we delay, the hotter the weather will be." Zhan Yi walked to the coffin and looked at the person with closed eyes inside.
I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. Every time I looked at it, my heart felt like it was being stabbed. It hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.
"Tomorrow? Aren't you waiting for Marquis Xiang Ming to return to the capital?" Gu Shuo asked.
"I sent a message to Marquis Xiang Ming. If we leave the capital and head north, we'll be able to meet him on his way back to the capital. We'll decide how to meet him then. Marquis Xiang Ming has a bad temper and might do something treasonous if he returns directly to the capital."
Gu Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back home and prepare."
"You should also pay more attention to Mr. Gu. He is not in a good mood and his pulse is unstable." Zhan Yi reminded.
"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Zhan."
Zhan Yi looked at Qian Fanji again and said, "The Qian family has many members. Your father, you, and the second brother Zhan will be accompanying you. You don't have to worry about the others. The Zhan family will send people to escort you all the way out of Beili and meet you there."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhan." It is indeed inconvenient to bring a family with him.
"What's there to thank me for? This is all the Zhan family can do. If it weren't for so many things, I wouldn't want to stay in Kyoto for even a moment longer." Zhan Yi sighed. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't.
"Uncle, please be careful in the future."
"Hey, don't worry. After what happened at Sifang Mountain, I can see things more clearly." Zhan Yi sighed again, "I'm afraid your journey will be difficult. Pick some more martial artists."
