Chapter 237 Something big happened, everyone went crazy!
Yun Zheng was shocked. "What did she do wrong again?"
The guard went to inquire around and came back, "The emperor has ordered that this person be a wanted criminal of the imperial court. He must be hung on the city wall for seven days as a public display, and then executed after seven days."
Yun Zheng's eyes widened. Execution? Could it be that he didn't get the Red Book and Iron Certificate?
"Seven days? This is playing the long game. The Emperor is angry."
"Where's her mother, Yong'an?"
The guard looked strange, "He was taken away overnight. I don't know where he went."
Yun Zheng seemed to be lost in thought.
Yun Zhanpeng asked with concern, "Zheng'er, what's wrong?"
Yun Zheng was about to say something when a man appeared out of nowhere and said, "Yun Zheng."
He rushed forward, but before he got close, he was pushed away by the guards.
He screamed hysterically, "Please save Yizhen. She is just a weak woman who can't take care of herself. If she continues like this, she will die!"
Yun Zheng looked closely. It was Jiang Wenzhou. How could he be so affectionate? He wouldn't abandon her at a time like this. Was he addicted to acting? Who was he acting for?
"This is a divine decree. No one can save her."
Jiang Wenzhou's eyes flickered as he pleaded, "You can do it. You are the most favored by the emperor. As long as you use your previous merits to plead for Zhenzhen, the emperor will definitely agree."
Listen, what nonsense is that? Yun Zhanpeng was furious. "Get lost."
Yun Zheng also wanted to beat someone up, "If you're sick, go get treated!"
Jiang Wenzhou fell to his knees with a thud, begging loudly, "I'm kneeling down in front of you, please, have some mercy. It's just a simple favor for you, but it can save a life."
This is moral kidnapping. Many passers-by who did not know the truth gathered around and blocked the road.
Jiang Wenzhou's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face. "Yun Zheng, we used to be a family. She took good care of you and treated you like her own sister. After you climbed up the social ladder, you framed her and made her a wanted criminal. Are you still human?"
When passersby saw a grown man crying like this, they couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"It sounds pretty miserable, so pitiful."
"This girl looks pretty, but I didn't expect her to be so evil and actually frame her relatives."
"A beautiful woman but a vicious one, that's what I'm talking about. She's committing a sin."
Somehow, Yun Zheng got goosebumps all over her body and felt creepy as if she was being stared at by an unknown beast.
She didn't dare to stay any longer, and didn't want to get entangled. She made a quick decision and said, "Send away all the pedestrians, don't block the road, and let's go into the city quickly."
The guards waved their hands to drive away the passersby, but Jiang Wenzhou continued to pester them, causing the onlookers to refuse to leave.
Ye Yichen, who was hanging on the city wall and dying, opened his eyes, filled with hatred.
"Yun Zheng, it's you!"
She was dying, she was so scared and hateful.
She hated the heavens, the earth, and everyone, and wished the whole world would be buried with her.
If she can't live, then let's all die together.
She raised her right hand with great difficulty, pointed at Yun Zheng, and screamed, "Sir, I want to report this woman. She is my accomplice and is my accomplice in the assassination of the emperor."
The person she hated the most was Yun Zheng.
Everything was originally fine. She married into the Marquis's Mansion with great fanfare and became the Crown Prince's wife. Yun Zheng was the stepping stone between her and the century-old Marquis' Mansion, and the Yun family's immense wealth was the beginning of her life of wealth and glory.
But Yun Zheng actually resisted!
From that moment on, everything was out of control, her wishful thinking was shattered, and the wealth and love she wanted were gone.
She always felt that it shouldn't be like this.
She is the winner in life and should trample Yun Zheng under her feet!
There was an uproar and chaos at the scene.
Assassinating the emperor? It's hard to imagine such a weak woman like that.
A group of soldiers guarding the gate rushed out and surrounded Yun Zheng's carriage.
Yun Zheng raised her head and looked at Ye Yizhen, who was in an extremely miserable state, but with a ferocious expression and eyes full of resentment.
Is this the end of the road?
Yun Zheng suddenly pointed at the secretly smug man and said, "Sir, this is the husband of the criminal woman. He disobeyed the imperial order and tried to rescue people during the chaos. Arrest him now."
"They are a loving couple, and they should live and die together. Sending him to be hanged on the city wall together will be considered to fulfill his infatuation."
Jiang Wenzhou was stunned when he heard this.
"Yun Zheng, why are you so vicious?"
The carriages carrying several princes approached. The Third Prince lifted the curtains and shouted, "What's going on? Why are you all standing here? Disperse quickly and don't block the road."
Jiang Wenzhou's pupils trembled violently. This is the third prince!
Suddenly, a voice broke out from the crowd, "Sir, this man is also an accomplice, quickly arrest him."
The officers and soldiers surrounded them. The Third Prince was furious. He got out of the carriage and stood beside the driver, holding up his imperial token. "You are blind! I am here. Who dares to act recklessly? Get out of here immediately."
The token shines brightly in the sunlight.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the corner of Yun Zheng's eyes, "Third Prince, be careful."
She reacted extremely quickly, pulling off the jade pendant from her waist and smashing it hard into the Third Prince's face.
The third prince subconsciously turned his head to avoid the jade pendant.
"Yun Zheng, what are you doing crazy again..."
A long arrow whizzed past his ear, just barely missing it.
If it weren’t for Yun Zheng, the arrow would have hit the Third Prince right between his eyebrows, killing him instantly!
He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over. The coachman quickly pushed him back into the carriage and drew his weapon to protect him.
The guards rushed over and surrounded the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the four princes looked panicked. How could someone dare to ambush the princes at the gate of the capital? Was he crazy?
This is rebellion!
Yun Zheng's carriage was also attacked, and arrows rained down like raindrops. The servants and guards resisted one after another.
The screams of passers-by came one after another, and one by one fell in a pool of blood.
The scene was in chaos and blood was flowing everywhere.
In the palace, in the imperial study, the emperor discussed matters with a group of important ministers.
Among them was the former prime minister, who was called to the palace overnight and had not rested since then. His face was swollen and looked very ugly.
"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to hastily hang Ye Yizhen on the city wall and execute her seven days later."
The emperor looked at him coldly, "What's wrong?"
The former Prime Minister advised, "Yong'an is on a diplomatic mission to Nanyue. She only has one daughter, Ye Yizhen. If the news of Ye Yizhen's execution reaches her ears, she might change her mind."
The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that Yong'an has a trump card in his hand and is capable of disrupting the court?"
The former Prime Minister sighed in his heart, saying that the emperor is the most stingy person in the world.
"After all, she is the princess of Da Qi and knows many of Da Qi's secrets. If she tells the secrets to the Emperor of Nanyue, it will be extremely detrimental to Da Qi."
Elder Chen frowned and said, "I don't think it's appropriate either."
A eunuch rushed in in panic, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
The emperor was furious. "You have trespassed into the imperial study. Drag him out and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
The eunuch's face flushed with anxiety. "The four princes and Princess Jinyun were ambushed at the East City Gate and are in imminent danger."
Like a bolt of thunder, everyone's face changed and they were terrified.
The emperor's heart was beating like thunder. He stood up suddenly and shouted an order, "Let the Beijing Camp, the Three Thousand Camp, and the Shenji Camp go to rescue them quickly. Save them at all costs. Go quickly."
"yes."
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. "At which city gate was Ye Yizhen hanged?"
"It's at the East City Gate."
The emperor was filled with murderous intent. "Pass on my decree. Ye Yizhen will be tortured to death."
His cold eyes locked onto the former Prime Minister, "You, do it yourself."
The former Prime Minister felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and his whole body was cold.
