"They haven't told me for half a month. I'm going to go back and settle accounts with them. Humph, I will never forgive them! I...I'm going to punish them severely!"
"You! I knew you wouldn't want to punish them! Usually you protect them like the apples of your eye, just like sisters! Sometimes you treat them even better than to me, which makes me feel a little jealous!"
Su Ci nuzzled Baili Chen's arms and soothed him softly, "Your Highness is the most important in my heart!"
Baili Chen smiled softly, his laughter was hearty and could be heard clearly in the silent night.
*****
The next day, early in the morning, the confessions of Lin Youfang and the old lady of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion were placed on the desk in the imperial study.
When Emperor Mingguang saw the confession, he almost overturned the case.
But he still smashed a set of precious pens, ink and inkstone in great anger and anger.
He kept cursing: "Marquis Yongchang is so bold and reckless. I will cut him into pieces. He dared to betray the country and deceive the emperor. I will kill all his clans..."
Emperor Mingguang did not stop until the entire imperial study was smashed to pieces and turned into a mess.
He sat on the dragon throne with a dejected look on his face, remaining silent for a long time.
Fortunately, he only dealt with a few generals at that time and did not deal with Shangguan Rui. He only sent an order to the border to give him fifty strokes of the cane, and then demoted him to allow him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.
During these thirty years, Shangguan Rui defended the border to the death, refusing to give up an inch of land and not daring to slack off for the slightest.
This is why the border has been peaceful for decades and the people have lived a stable life.
However, Emperor Mingguang was still heartbroken when he thought about how he had colluded with the people of Dali to betray the military intelligence of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and worked together with the people of Dali to cause the deaths of 70,000 innocent people in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Now that the truth has been discovered, we must not tolerate it and must not let these parasites go.
Emperor Mingguang issued the first imperial decree, "Order Du Yijian to lead two hundred imperial guards to the border immediately to capture the Yongchang Marquis's family, and not allow anyone to escape!"
"All the people in the Yongchang Marquisate in the capital were imprisoned, and all their houses, farms, and shops were sealed and taken into the national treasury."
Emperor Mingguang was unwilling to even look at Empress Lin.
An imperial decree was also issued, "Empress Lin, for your private misconduct, you must immediately hand over the Empress' Phoenix Seal, be demoted to a noble lady, and be moved to the cold palace. You are not allowed to leave without an imperial decree!"
The third imperial edict was addressed to His Royal Highness Prince of Yan Baili Heng. Emperor Mingguang still took into consideration the father-son relationship and only demoted him from prince to duke.
Anyway, he is already a disabled person and will never have a chance to become emperor. He can only be an idle prince, so there is no need to blame him too much.
Emperor Mingguang also issued an order to Baili Chen, "Order Qin Wang Baili Chen to strictly investigate all crimes of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, punish them severely according to the law, and never tolerate them! Order that all families that are close to Yongchang Marquis Mansion should be carefully investigated to see if they are accomplices. If anyone is found to be an accomplice, they will be punished with the same crime as Yongchang Marquis Mansion and will be killed!"
The morning court session was also suspended, and several urgent imperial decrees were issued from the imperial study.
All the ministers were in a panic.
Finally, some well-informed people quietly leaked the news.
After the officials found out, many of them were filled with righteous indignation and secretly cursed the people in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion as "traitors" and "traitors to the country."
Some people even rushed in groups to see the people in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion being imprisoned and the palace being searched.
However, some families that were close to the Yongchang Marquisate hurried back home to discuss countermeasures, and even tried to find ways to sever their ties with them.
The old Princess of Prince Heng came to the Su residence again, and Su Ci showed her the confession.
Other people from the Su Mansion also gathered together, and everyone rushed to pass around the confession.
After seeing this, the old Prince Heng's wife also found out about the traitor in Prince Heng's Mansion, who was Prince Heng's aunt Feng Yuhua. It was she who informed the Yongchang Marquis Mansion of Shangguan Yu's whereabouts, and worked together with them to kidnap Shangguan Yu.
This enabled the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion to kill all the secret guards accurately and capture the person without anyone noticing.
When the old Princess of Prince Heng found out about this, she went back home to deal with Feng Yuhua without saying a word.
Su Ci and Su Che were worried that she might get too excited and have an accident, so they followed her to Prince Heng's palace.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of Prince Heng's mansion, she ran into Aunt Feng who was packing her luggage and preparing to go out and hide.
She hurriedly packed a carriage full of valuables and prepared to escape secretly.
Half an hour ago, Aunt Feng received news that the government was searching the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. With her keen intuition, she felt that the situation was not good.
He quickly packed up some valuables and prepared to go to his daughter's villa to hide for a while.
She wanted to wait until the storm had died down and everyone had forgotten about the events of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, and then she would come back.
If the news remains tense, she will hide for a while.
Be prepared to take things one step at a time.
Who would have thought that the old Princess of Heng, who usually took two or three hours to come back after going out, actually came back early today.
He blocked her at the door.
What a bad luck!
Feng Yuhua felt very guilty. She walked forward, bowed deeply to the old Princess Heng, and said with a fake smile, "My concubine greets the Princess!"
Yang Qingqiu and Shangguan Wuyou also hurried forward to salute, "Greetings, old princess (grandmother)!"
The old Princess Heng asked sarcastically, "Is Aunt Feng going on a long journey? Why didn't she say hello? Are you planning to leave secretly?"
"I just returned to the capital, and I missed my daughter so much that I wanted to go see her, but I haven't had time to ask the princess for permission yet!"
"I thought Aunt Feng had done something bad, and she secretly packed her bags and prepared to run away while I was away!"
"How could that be! The old princess always knows how to tease me."
The old Princess Heng didn't want to say anything more to this shameless old woman, so she shouted, "Come here! Capture Aunt Feng and tie her up!"
Shangguan Wuyou quickly stepped forward to protect Aunt Feng, "Grandma, what's going on?"
The old Princess of Heng just glanced at her indifferently and ignored her.
He looked at the servant beside him and said sternly, "Come here, arrest him!"
Several strong maids came up at once, pressed Aunt Feng to the ground, and tied her hands and feet tightly.
Aunt Feng was extremely panicked and shouted, "Old Princess, are you mistaken? What have I done wrong? Why are you arresting me?"
He is like a man who will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River and will pretend to be ignorant to the end.
"Then I will make you a wise ghost today."
"Thirty years ago, you colluded with the people of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and kidnapped my son Shangguan Yu. Now the truth has come to light. You, a vicious woman, should be punished as you deserve!"
“Now, all those who colluded with the Yongchang Marquis’ Mansion will be strictly investigated, and may even be severely punished.
"Mrs. Feng, you are about to die, why don't you confess all your sins?"
