In the blink of an eye, the day arrived when the entire family of Prince Jin was executed.

Zheng Yao started working early in the morning, carefully preparing delicious snacks.

Because she was thinking about her elder sister and nephew, she wanted them to have a good meal in the last moments of their lives and travel peacefully.

When Zheng Yao came with the snacks and meals she had made herself, Zheng Xin saw her at a glance.

In an instant, Zheng Xin's eyes widened, and her eyeballs seemed about to fall out.

At this time, Zheng Xin no longer had the dignified and graceful appearance of the past. Her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and she looked very embarrassed.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here! Stop pretending to be so hypocritical!"

Zheng Xin yelled at Zheng Yao in rage, and kicked all the snacks and food in front of her to the ground.

In order to get a chance to pass on the message to the outside world, Zheng Xin sacrificed her chastity, but she did not expect that Zheng Yao would just watch her and her son die.

The current emperor is the son-in-law of the mighty general. If her brother-in-law is willing to go and beg the emperor for mercy, then she and her son may still have a chance to survive.

Seeing her son's pitiful eyes, staring at the food kicked to the ground, Zheng Xin couldn't help crying and said with a sob: "What are you still looking at? Anyway, we are going to die soon, so what does it matter whether we eat or not?"

Zheng Xin was hysterical, but it was only because she had been tortured in prison for so long that her voice sounded harsh only to Zheng Yao who was standing right next to her.

Her tears flowed down her cheeks like a flood, and fell to the ground with a patter. "Eldest sister! Just let my nephew eat. At least let the child eat his fill before he goes on his journey..."

As she spoke, her hands were trembling slightly as she took two bowls of steaming and fragrant food from the maid.

Zheng Yao knew her elder sister’s impulsive personality, so she made an extra portion.

When Zheng Xin's gaze met her son's eyes full of desire and pleading, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, and the words she wanted to stop him were ultimately not uttered.

At this moment, she was full of regret and remorse.

In fact, her mother had earnestly advised her to divorce Prince Jin, because she knew very well that if she nodded in agreement, her mother would be able to persuade her father to agree to it.

In this way, as long as she successfully divorced, she could avoid her current fate and perhaps prevent the entire Zhenguo Mansion from being implicated.

But why is she so stubborn and stubborn?

Ever since she married into Prince Jin's Mansion, she knew that this man was definitely not a good person.

His huge backyard was filled with decent women who had been forcibly abducted.

Many of the former husbands of these poor women were brutally murdered by King Jin.

However, what is outrageous is that Zheng Xin has lost her conscience and reason to the point of being willing to cover up Prince Jin's crimes just to win his so-called favor.

Seeing her son wolfing down the food, she burst into tears. "Yao'er, for the sake of our sisterhood, go and ask the Queen. The Emperor will listen to her. He will listen to her."

"Eldest sister! You must be sober, your son is the blood of King Jin!"

Zheng Yao cried and shouted while holding Zheng Xin's hand tightly, as if this could pull her back from the abyss of despair.

In fact, if possible, doesn't she also hope that her sister and nephew can live well?

However, she knew very well in her heart that the current emperor would never tolerate the bloodline of Prince Jin remaining in the world, because it would definitely cause endless troubles.

After hearing what her sister said, Zheng Xin seemed to have lost her soul and never uttered another word.

She just silently picked up the somewhat cold food in front of her and put it into her mouth mechanically.

Every mouthful of food was mixed with bitter tears, but she still swallowed it down. Because she knew that even if she went to the underworld, she would take her beloved son with her...

After returning, Zheng Yao fell ill. She had a high fever, felt groggy, and her consciousness became unclear, and she kept calling for her mother.

When Jiang He heard the news, he was filled with self-blame and regret.

He kept blaming himself for not being with Zheng Yao that day. If he had been there, he would not have let her blow the cold wind for so long.

At this time, Lin Muheng, who had just ascended the throne, was busy dealing with various complicated government affairs.

He is naturally ambitious and wants to accomplish something big.

He began to implement a series of reform measures in a bold and decisive manner.

These reforms involve multiple aspects including politics, economy, and military, and are aimed at revitalizing the country.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Lin Muheng specifically ordered the release of all the women in the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion.

As for the children they gave birth to, they could only go down to accompany Prince Jin.

There were a few who did not want to live alone, so they went to the guillotine with their children, becoming innocent victims of this power struggle.

However, it is worth mentioning that many officials from Prince Jin’s party chose to resign and return home.

After all, everyone understands the truth that "a new emperor appoints his own ministers."

At this time, retiring from the current situation may still leave a way out for your descendants.

While Lin Muheng was busy in the former dynasty, something big happened in the harem.
