They thought that even if Zhuang Rongjun would not be beheaded this time, he should still be punished. Unexpectedly, the Queen said that the man was a fugitive, not Zhuang Xiang.
Some people believe it, some people don't.
But even if you don't believe it, the Queen's words are there, you have to believe it even if you don't want to. Can you really go into the palace to question her?
Only those who had seen Zhuang Xiang knew that the woman at the wedding banquet that day was indeed Zhuang Xiang. But why did the empress protect Zhuang Rongjun? They were puzzled.

"Second Young Master, please rest assured. The General's Mansion will definitely not trace us back."
"Well, you did a great job. Take this hundred taels of silver."
"Thank you, Second Young Master."
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, almost the next second after the servant left the room, a secret guard appeared silently.
Ke Xi looked in the direction the servant left, his expression indifferent, and spat out three words: "Kill him."
"Yes." The secret guard slipped away.
Ke Xi slowly turned the wine glass in his hand and murmured, "Lin Liansheng, after knowing that Zhuang Rongjun is a lunatic, are you still willing to be with her? Even if you are willing, aren't you afraid?"
Can you be at ease sleeping with a wife who goes crazy and kills people?

"You're finally back."
As soon as Zhuang Rongjun returned to the general's mansion, a figure at the door suddenly rushed over and hugged her.
"Why are you waiting at the door? Didn't I tell you that I would be fine? The weather is getting colder now. What if you catch a cold?" Zhuang Rongjun hurriedly pulled the person in his arms into the general's mansion.
"I'm worried about you. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go eat now."
"good."
Seeing Zhuang Rongjun, Lin Liansheng's uneasy heart finally settled down, and he asked about her trip to the palace.
"Your Majesty, why is she so nice to you?" Lin Liansheng asked with some confusion.
Zhuang Rongjun pondered for a moment, his long eyelashes covering the fleeting sadness in his eyes, and said lightly, "It's because of my father."
It turned out that when Zhuang Rongjun's father was young, he was a childhood sweetheart of the Empress, who was then the Crown Princess. When the two were ready to get engaged, the Crown Princess planned to marry her father.
Unfortunately, the Crown Princess at that time was framed and had to marry another man as her principal husband, which indirectly let down Zhuang Rongjun's father.
It so happened that Zhuang Xiang also came to Duke Xue's mansion to ask Zhuang Rongjun's father to marry her, and the latter agreed in a fit of anger.
The Crown Princess loved the Emperor deeply until he ascended the throne, but she could only keep it in her heart and not disturb his happiness.
It was precisely because of this that Zhuang Rongjun learned about the scandal in the General's Mansion when she was ten years old.
At that time, Zhuang Rongjun's father had already died.
The Empress investigated thoroughly and finally understood the whole story. During that time, the Empress was very sad and blamed herself. If she had not been framed, she would not have married anyone else, and the man she loved deeply would not have married into the den of wolves in the General's Mansion.
If she had not sent people to protect him, the person she loved so deeply would not have been trapped in the wolf's den for so many years, unable to even commit suicide.
During that time, the queen was so sad that she fell ill and almost died. In the end, she survived, but she looked as if she had aged ten years.
From then on, the empress had been secretly taking care of Zhuang Rongjun and was quite partial to her. Even the princes and princesses she gave birth to could not compare to her.
The Queen also knew that Zhuang Xiang was not dead. She originally wanted to cut Zhuang Xiang into pieces, but Zhuang Rongjun said that she wanted to keep him alive and torture him, and the Queen agreed.
