If she hadn't been so picky and hadn't been so delusional from the beginning, their life together would probably be very happy now!
It was all too late.
The Court of Imperial Clan Affairs drafted the charges against Xiao Yi: treason. The emperor ordered him to be given poisoned wine, thus ending his life.
Jiang received three feet of white silk.
Seeing his two cousins, Xiao Sheng was moved with compassion.
However, the Imperial Clan Court did not agree.
They were taken away directly by the Imperial Clan Court and fed poisoned wine.
Jiang apologized to Xiao Yi and ended her short life with a white silk ribbon.
Xiao Yi drank the poisoned wine in one gulp, hugged the two children, and kept apologizing to them.
The two children knew that their father had committed a capital crime, and according to the law, they too would have to die.
The two children were instructed by Madam Jiang to stay with Xiao Yi and not let him be lonely.
The entire family of four died in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The Imperial Clan Court came to collect the body.
Xiao Sheng showed leniency by not holding a funeral, but the people of the Imperial Clan Court chose a plot of land not far from the imperial mausoleum and buried Xiao Yi's family together.
Although they are not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, let them stay by the side, guarding the ancestors of the Xiao family, and repent!
After those who needed to be removed were purged, the officials who had returned to the capital to report on their duties gradually returned to the capital.
At this time, another minor incident occurred in the capital.
Liang Jiamei, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, who was engaged to the Second Prince Xiao Ding, accidentally fell into the water while out and about, but was rescued by a passing peddler.
The peddler was about eighteen years old.
Because it was winter, the peddler was in a hurry when he rescued Liang Jiamei and stripped her clothes off.
The Kingdom of Nanchen also placed great importance on a woman's chastity.
Liang Jiamei was determined to become empress, but now a peddler had seen her body. She was so upset at home that she banged her head against a pillar.
He didn't die, but he was disfigured.
Liang Qianfan is currently on leave from work and staying at home.
Xiao Sheng neither dismissed him from his post nor threatened to kill him.
They simply suspended Liang Qianfan from his post and stopped paying his salary.
Seeing his precious daughter turned into this state, Liang Qianfan was filled with regret.
However, Emperor Hui did not die, nor did the Empress, so he always felt that he still had hope.
Liang Qianfan spent a lot of money to buy the peddler away to a distant place.
The peddler died on the road seven days after leaving the capital.
Although Liang Jiamei no longer had to marry the peddler, the truth could not be hidden forever.
Xiao Ding has no one to help him now and doesn't know what to do.
