With his mouth gagged, Wei Xuebin couldn't ask any of his questions. He could only nod repeatedly, making "woo woo woo" sounds to signal the other person to take the thing out of his mouth first.
After the constable knocked the man unconscious, he grabbed Wei Xuebin and tied him to a pillar inside the house.
Seeing this, Wei Xuebin began to realize that something was wrong.
Panic gradually appeared in his eyes.
No, this person was definitely not sent by my aunt.
What went wrong?
"Waaaaah~" Wei Xuebin began to struggle incessantly, and tears streamed from his eyes due to panic.
No, he didn't want to die.
He didn't want to be torn apart by five horses and die a gruesome death!
But the bailiff didn't respond to him at all from beginning to end.
Then a voice came from outside, "Time's up."
The constable picked up the hood that had been thrown on the ground, dusted it off, and walked up to Wei Xuebin. "Let's go, Young Master Wei, it's time to hit the road."
After saying this, the bailiff put the hood on Wei Xuebin and pulled him out of the house.
Wei Xuebin felt as if ropes were being put around his limbs and neck, and fear made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Only at this moment did he feel deep regret, wondering why he had betrayed the Great Chu.
Otherwise, with the abilities of his aunt and father, they could have certainly saved him.
He hated Xiao Yanchu, he hated why Xiao Yanchu wouldn't let him go.
She also resented Xiao Chenyi and Empress Dowager Wei, who, despite being the ruler and empress of a nation, were unable to protect him.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up like this!
With a few shouts of "Giddy up!" and cheers from the surrounding crowd, it all came to an end.
The head fell to the ground, and someone immediately picked it up.
The man came to the side, quietly lifted the cloth cover, and then his hand trembled, and the head fell off again.
It’s over!

Empress Dowager Wei was still waiting for news in the palace. When she woke up early in the morning, she felt that her right eyelid kept twitching. Granny Xin comforted her that it was because she was too worried about the eldest son of the Wei family and had not slept well.
Just then, a nanny walked in hurriedly.
Granny Xin hurried forward and whispered a few words in her ear, causing Granny Xin's expression to change drastically.
Empress Dowager Wei calculated the time and concluded that the execution should be over by now. She then asked, "Has the person been sent away?"
Granny Xin waved her hand, dismissing the others. She walked to Empress Dowager Wei's side, hesitant to speak, "Empress Dowager..."
"What's wrong? Speak plainly, don't stammer." Empress Dowager Wei was already in a bad mood, and seeing Xin Mama's behavior made her even more impatient.
"Your Majesty, the plan has failed. Young Master Wei... Young Master Wei is dead. The one who was torn apart by five horses was the eldest son," Granny Xin said with difficulty.
"What did you say?!" Empress Dowager Wei stood up abruptly, then felt herself swaying. Granny Xin quickly helped her sit down, patted her chest, and hurriedly called out, "Quickly, quickly summon the imperial physician."
Empress Dowager Wei fell ill, and the imperial physician said it was due to worry and that she needed to rest.
Xiao Chenyi knew that his mother was too heartbroken because of Wei Xuebin's death, but he didn't take it to heart. He just told the imperial physician to take good care of the Empress Dowager.
After waiting for three days without receiving a reply from Bei Li, Xiao Yanchu knew he couldn't delay any longer and had no choice but to recover and go to court.
At worst, he could try to delay the matter of Bei Li in court and wait and see.
"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn."
As Li Yuansheng finished speaking, Xu Jingnian, the Minister of Justice, stepped forward. "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present."
Seeing that it was Xu Jingnian who came out, instead of Xiao Yanchu, Xiao Chenyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Minister Xu, what is it?"
