Chapter 161 Downfall(1/2)

This is the fourth day after the flower viewing feast.

The Xu family, both their own family and their other branches, were all taken down.

Including Xu Jiazhi.

He didn't wait outside the Ning family the day before, and was taken away by the imperial guards who rushed over.

If summoned to go, it can actually retain some face.

But if it was the imperial guards' turn to go, the scene would be really not very good.

When he was taken to the emperor, half of his face was covered with scratches.

"Your Majesty! Please investigate strictly. This time, the matter is clearly coming to the King of Wei..." Xu Jiazhi was scattered and tried to arouse the emperor's soft heart.

"Preach the imperial edict." Emperor Liang De's voice sounded through a screen.

Xu Jiazhi raised his head, looked at the blurry figure behind the screen, and fell to the ground.

Announcement?

Is this the edict announced?

"Your Majesty, this matter has not been clarified yet..." Xu Jiazhi shouted at the top of his throat.

"I am tolerant that I can give you a chance to make a noise here." Emperor De of Liang's voice sounded again.

Xu Jiazhi held the ground weakly, lowered his head, and the sweat soaked the bricks and stones in front of him.

None of the rest of his side cried anymore.

It seems that he has accepted his fate.

The eunuch on the side quickly finished reading the imperial edict.

"Take it down." Emperor Liang De paused, "Let Concubine Wan meet you."

The brother beside Xu Jiazhi kowtowed with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is kind, thank you."

Xu Jiazhi almost laughed out loud sarcastically. Kind?

Where is kindness?

Is this kind of kindness?

But this situation is so unforgivable that they can no longer struggle.

The guards stepped forward and took them all down.

Concubine Wan waited outside early.

She stood on the wide and empty corridor, dressed in a generous manner, but seemed to be slightly shorter by the pearls, gold and silver.

When Xu Jiazhi saw her, he wanted to rush forward, but was grabbed by his brother.

"Don't go."

"Don't harm the King of Wei."

Xu Jiazhi gritted his teeth: "We are imprisoned today. Has His Highness the King of Wei ever been anxious? We..."

"Stop talking, take a look from a distance and leave."

"Don't speak?" Xu Jiazhi was incredulous.

"I won't say it anymore. It's useless to say more, let's go. Your Majesty is a kind person, and he just sentences us to exile."

Not only...

Xu Jiazhi wanted to sneer fiercely, but he didn't dare.

Exile has been an extremely severe punishment since ancient times.

They will suffer torture and die on the road before they can be exiled...

But what about the emperor?

But he can gain a good reputation as a kind person.

The guards had a cold face and looked at them without squinting, as if they had not heard their voices.

After Rong and Concubine Wan met each other from afar, they took them down.

Inside the hall.

"Issued another order, Concubine Wan was demoted to concubine, and was exempted from the three-year period. She temporarily stayed in Shicui Hall and was not allowed to go out without orders."

"Dong Zhaoyi is a woman with a kind personality. She was promoted to Virtuous Concubine on the same day, so she will temporarily take over the affairs of the palace."

Emperor De of Liang walked one after another.

"Yes." The eunuch beside him bowed and responded.

Emperor De of Liang then turned his head and said to the person sitting beside him: "Xiancheng, I finally made this tone for you."

Xiancheng is the name of Duke of Zhao.

Sitting beside him was the majestic Duke of Zhao.

Duke Zhao bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, still misses the sins my son suffered."

"How could I forget?" Emperor Liang De smiled.

Duke Zhao wanted to ask about Xue Qingyin's recent situation, but he held it back.

It is not a good thing to be too close to the emperor under the nose.

"It's a pity that King Xuan may have resentment towards me..." Emperor Liang De sighed.

A fool like Duke Zhao, who is crazy about his son, really cannot understand what Emperor Liang De is doing...

However, Duke Zhao still fulfilled his duty as a minister and suggested: "The King Xuan is already in no way. In addition to giving more rewards to the fief, it is better to give him the concubine of King Xuan. The concubine of King Xuan has a deep relationship with his mother and can also be awarded the imperial edict..."

Emperor De of Liang nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay. I will tell King Xuan that this is your idea."

Duke Zhao quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just a smile is not enough to reach the bottom of my eyes.

Would the emperor not know what to do? Of course he knew. Since he had already thought about it, he must have thought about the consequences.

These words were just intentionally making the ministers grateful.

The imperial edicts were quickly passed down one by one.

Concubine Wan cried bitterly and became ill that night.

She had to struggle to sit up and express her thoughts: "I don't know the emperor's kindness at home, and I have caused such a disaster. I can only atone for them by eating vegetarian food and chanting more scriptures..."

This shows that there is no resentment towards the emperor.

After she expressed her feelings, she fell asleep again in a daze with heat.

I was so half asleep and half awake that I heard the sound of moving in and out.

Concubine Wan's throat was burning like fire, and the pain was unbearable.

She spoke with difficulty: "What, what sound?"

The nanny wiped her tears and replied: "We are going to move to Shicui Palace, and the fourth princess is going to move away... I will no longer be kept under your knees in the future."

Shicui Palace is further away from the emperor's residence.

As soon as the fourth princess left, she had no excuse to ask for the emperor.

Her monthly routine was exempted... She would be in a short position in the collapse of the Xu family in just two years...

If there was no gold and silver reward for the palace servant, and the palace servant saw that she was out of favor again, she would soon live a down-and-out life...

"Do you still remember Wang Cairen?" Concubine Wan grabbed the nanny's hand tightly and said hoarsely.

"That unpopular Wang Cairen?"

"Yes... When she entered the palace, I mocked her for being shabby. She was in her thirties and was only favored by His Majesty once. My parents' family didn't have enough money to give her..."

The nanny also brought back memories.

That Wang Cairen lived like a palace maid in the Yeting Palace... Everyone could bully him.

"Do I want to live this kind of life, too?"

Concubine Wan's heart aches, her nails were cut off, and she hissed: "No, Madam, I don't want to...I don't want to be like that. I'm afraid even if Your Majesty sees me again in the future..."

Concubine Wan hissed and cried until she fainted.

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Xue Qingyin leaned lazily on the back of the chair, beside her King Xuan.

“…that’s probably what it is.”

The personal guard stood in front of them and listened carefully to the content of several imperial edicts issued by the emperor.

Some people died in the Xu family.
To be continued...
