Chapter 617 Something Happened (Part 5)
Jiang Zhaoyuan stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning, "Your Majesty, please have mercy! They are your——"
"You don't have to beg."
Emperor Muwu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"I gave him more than one chance, but he failed to live up to my expectations."
Jiang Zhaoyuan knelt down in a hurry, and was extremely panicked. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty——"
"Someone come."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside rushed in immediately, and with a "clang" sound, they pressed their swords on Jiang Zhaoyuan's shoulders and neck!
The cold and sharp touch made Jiang Zhaoyuan dare not move anymore.
Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes.
"Take him out and kill him."
…
Anhua Palace.
Another evening has arrived, and the setting sun is blood-red.
Xiao Chengxuan was lying on the bed when he suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from outside. He shuddered and sat up suddenly.
He looked outside in doubt and listened carefully.
There was no sound again.
"An illusion..."
He murmured, somewhat dazed.
During this period of time, he was locked up here with the doors and windows locked. Apart from three meals a day delivered to him, he had nothing else.
No one talked to him, and he had no idea what was going on outside. He was almost going crazy!
Even when he was under house arrest in Chengxin Lake before, he had never lost his freedom so completely!
Even if he was locked up in the Sky Prison, at least there was someone he could talk to. But he stayed here all day. The feeling of loneliness and uncertainty almost made him collapse!
He often had nightmares. The scene of being taken away for public interrogation and confronting Xiao Lanxi replayed in his mind again and again, and he could not get rid of it no matter what.
To the extent that Xiao Chengxuan is now almost like a frightened bird. Whenever he hears any noise outside, he suspects that someone is coming to take him away again.
He felt that if he continued like this day after day, he would go completely crazy sooner or later.
No.
He can't give up.
My father has woken up from his coma a long time ago, but he has not released him yet. This is hope!
Xiao Chengxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He did make a mistake, but he also clarified it that day. He did not collude with Nan Hu, nor did he murder Lao San and Xu Jie!
As long as the truth comes out, he may have a chance to turn things around...
Thump thump thump!
Regular and heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside, scaring Xiao Chengxuan.
His heart suddenly rose in his chest, and his whole body tensed up as he listened to the sound getting closer and closer!
He was so familiar with these footsteps!
This is... the Royal Guards!
Sure enough, the next moment, a cold voice came from outside.
"Open the door."
Click——squeak.
The door that had been closed for a long time finally opened slowly, and the afterglow crossed the threshold and fell onto the floor of the room, even a little dazzling to the eyes due to unfamiliarity.
Xiao Chengxuan tilted his head slightly, but his heart was already extremely nervous.
"What are you going to do?"
The armored guard did not respond to him, but just raised his hand coldly.
Crash——!
Two rows of soldiers immediately rushed into the room and quickly surrounded Xiao Chengxuan!
Xiao Chengxuan finally realized the danger, looked around vigilantly, and shouted, "How dare you!"
"Second Prince." The leading man said indifferently, "This is the last time I address you as such. His Majesty has ordered that you be exiled to Yizhou immediately and you must not leave Yizhou for the rest of your life! The journey is long, so why don't you set off quickly?"
"What!?"
Xiao Chengxuan's mind went blank and he staggered back a step.
But the next moment he reacted and rushed forward, his facial features distorted with anger and anxiety.
"You're lying! You lied to me, didn't you? I made it clear that day! I didn't do those things! How could my father treat me like this? You—"
"Don't you know best what you did and didn't do?"
The leading man frowned and signaled with his eyes. The soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward and arrested Xiao Chengxuan!
Someone kicked him in the knee, causing him to kneel down.
Bang!
The pain was so severe that Xiao Chengxuan's face turned pale.
The other party was too lazy to talk to him and turned around and walked out.
"take away!"
"yes!"
Xiao Chengxuan struggled violently, but how could he be a match for these people? In just two moves, he was escorted out obediently.
Seeing that they were really heading towards the palace gate, Xiao Chengxuan became anxious.
"I want to see my father! And my mother, even if I have to leave, I have to see my mother! You dare -"
"That's not necessary."
The other party looked back at him with an indifferent look.
"His Majesty will not see you. As for Concubine Jiang...it's too late for you to go there now."
Xiao Chengxuan's resistance suddenly stopped, his blood froze, and he looked at him blankly.
"What did you say?"
Too late?
What does this mean!?
The other party did not say anything else, but just looked in the direction of the cold palace and snorted with disdain.
Xiao Chengxuan felt cold all over in an instant.
Someone came forward and pushed him. He walked forward numbly and stiffly, and each step felt extremely heavy.
Just as he was thinking about how to escape the guarding of these people and take a look at the cold palace, a dazzling blood color suddenly caught his eyes.
Xiao Chengxuan stopped suddenly and stared blankly ahead.
On the wide palace road, a team of guards seemed to have just finished an execution.
A familiar figure was lying on a long wooden bench, motionless, his back covered in blood.
The scarlet, sticky blood soaked his clothes and flowed silently along his limp arms.
Tick.
There were already large stains of blood on the jade floor tiles.
The man leading the team took a glance and spoke first.
"I won't be able to see Mr. Jiang anymore, but you came at the right time to see him off for the last time."
Xiao Chengxuan's eyes went dark.
Only at this moment did he finally smell the strong smell of blood.
His face turned pale and he suddenly bent over and vomited!
…
The carriage moved forward slowly, and noisy voices were heard from outside.
Ye Jingyan was originally chatting with Ye Chutang about the interesting things that happened in the Imperial College in the past few days. Hearing the noise, he casually lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw a lot of people gathered at the street corner in front of him. They were all looking in the same direction and discussing something with excitement or shock.
Ye Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's not..."
"The Jiang family."
Ye Chutang also raised his eyes and glanced.
"It seems there are still officers and soldiers?"
Ye Jingyan nodded.
A series of chaotic noises came from outside.
"What happened? The Jiang family was raided!?"
"It is said that the Jiang family member made a big mistake! He has not come out since entering the palace today. Not long after, the government officials came to the door!"
"Why else could it be? The Jiang family used to be so powerful and did so many evil things. Now it's just karma and retribution! Haha! It's really satisfying! It's what they deserve!"
