"Your Majesty!" Zhang felt as if the sky was falling, and she fell to the ground powerlessly.
She didn't care about her image, she burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Su Mingyang also knelt down: "Your Majesty, my wife may have said something wrong, but she has absolutely no bad intentions! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"
In the yard, a group of people wanted to bury their heads in the ground, for fear of being implicated by accident.
The emperor remained unmoved.
Four-year-old Su Ruyu cried and shouted: "My uncle just died, why did you want my mother to die too? No..."

Zhang still wanted to beg for mercy, but as soon as the emperor spoke, her cries were choked in her throat.
Su Mingyang didn't dare to say anything more.
