The imperial decree quickly reached Situ's family. Uncle Situ and his wife almost fainted after hearing it.
"Eighty...eighty?" Mrs. Situ could hardly believe it, her face was pale and colorless, "The stick is eighty, does Xuan'er still have a chance to survive? He still has a chance to survive -"
"Shut up!" Situ Lingyi said sternly, "Your Majesty, what are you yelling about?"
Yuan Hai held Ming Huang's imperial edict in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone in the Za family can understand Madam's mood, but the thunder and rain are all your kindness. Besides, Miss Situ has committed such an act this time. The Emperor's treatment is extremely merciful.
"
Mrs. Situ's heart felt cold, her body was shaky, and she could hardly speak.
"I accept the imperial edict." Uncle Situ Guo felt bitter in his heart, but he could only accept the edict respectfully, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
"The Za family has to go to the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion to deliver the order, so I'll take my leave first."
Zhongyihou Mansion?
Mrs. Situ's eyes turned dark, and she could not accept this result. Her daughter was supposed to be a noble princess, but now that she is not a princess, she should choose a noble son from aristocratic families as her future husband.
, it should never be the loyal Marquis who is nearly forty years old and still has one missing leg!
Although she has a marquis, she has no real power at all and has a pair of children. Wan'er...should she be buried in the hands of such a person for the rest of her life?
"Why is this happening?" Mrs. Situ's face turned pale and she clutched the maid's hand tightly, "Why is this happening?"
Uncle Situ Guo also had a pale and dejected look on his face, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant. He turned around and walked towards the house, his steps heavy, each step seemed to indicate that the Situ family would no longer be prosperous in the future.
How long can a family that is disgusted by the emperor survive? Xuan'er was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He had already been flogged several times, and he was going to be punished with eighty sticks... Even if he didn't die, he would be incapacitated.
"It's the good daughter you spoiled who caused such a huge disaster!" Situ Lingyi suddenly turned his head and slapped Mrs. Situ hard on the face, "Sooner or later, the Situ family will be defeated by her!"
Mrs. Situ received a heavy slap unexpectedly, and instantly stumbled to the ground, her ears buzzing, and her whole mind was confused.
The servants turned pale with fright, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Situ Lingyi returned to the inner courtyard without looking back. Then several maids hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Situ, but they were all frightened, with fear on their faces.
"lady……"
Mrs. Situ was used to being strong in the past, but today she was greatly stimulated and beaten in front of everyone. When she was helped to stand up, her vision went dark, and she staggered and fell to the side.
"Madam! Madam!"
"Quickly, find the doctor! Madam has fainted!"
After a period of chaos, the grandmother and the maid quickly carried Mrs. Situ to the inner courtyard.
The place was in chaos, and the courtiers who were secretly paying attention to the Prince's Mansion and the Situ family had different reactions after hearing the news.
Some people rejoice in others' misfortunes, some are worried, and some have nothing to do with themselves.
More and more people are becoming more and more aware that the emperor is supporting the prince and the princess, and his attitude never seems to waver.
Even the queen's family cannot avoid being punished, let alone others. Therefore, if you want to protect yourself wisely, you must not mess with the prince and princess.
After hearing the news, several princes from the clan looked solemn on their faces and unanimously warned the princess and their children: "Please be patient these days. If you see that the prince and princess can go around, please go around them! Those who can't go around must be respectful."
Respectfully, if the king hears anyone being disrespectful to the Crown Princess in the future, he will be dealt with according to the family law!"
Officials in the DPRK also warned their wives and daughters: "At any time and under any circumstances, as long as you see the Crown Princess, you must bow to me respectfully and make up for your smile. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful will be kicked out of the house!"
"Even if you don't reach out to hit the smiling person, if the Crown Princess wants to hit you, you have to bear it! If I hit you on the left cheek, you can slap her right cheek as well, do you hear me?"
In the Imperial City, all the major families were suddenly in turmoil.
Although the reaction is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that the lessons caused by this incident in the Situ family are unforgettable. Is this true for the uncle's family with the support of the queen, let alone other official families?
How many officials in the DPRK have studied hard for ten years, and how many years of hard work in the officialdom have climbed to their current position. They cannot withstand being dragged down by a fool.
When the news reached the Prince's Mansion, Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty's marriage decree came just in time, saving me and the Queen the time and energy to continue arguing."
"The Queen can give up this time." Sicang said indifferently, turning to Leng Shuang and telling Leng Shuang, "Go and call Situ Wan over."
Leng Shuang took the order and left.
Situ Wan, who was trapped in the guest house, was not completely aware of the changes outside. As she walked with Leng Shuang, she was still thinking about how to defend herself and how to stay out of the incident as much as possible, but she didn't know that everything was impossible.
redeem.
"His Royal Highness," Leng Shuang said in a calm voice, "Situ Wan is here."
When Situ Wan arrived in front of Sicang and Yun Zishu, she had already calmed down her emotions. Except for her pale face, she could not tell that she was out of sorts.
"My daughter, see the prince, see the princess."
"You can go back." Sicang stood on the steps of the palace, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and his voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all. "The assassination of the Crown Princess is over now. I will not pursue it anymore. You can take care of yourself."
Situ Wan had prepared many words, but at this moment she could not say a single word. She was confused for a moment: "My lord, can you go back?"
Sicang stopped responding and turned around to enter Qifeng Hall.
Situ Wan looked at his tall and thin back, and suddenly felt a little unwilling in his heart. Why couldn't the person such an outstanding man like be her, but Princess Yun Zishu of Dayong?
If he gets married to her, everything that has happened during this period will be impossible. They will be a match made in heaven, the most suitable couple, and they will become the most outstanding empress in the history of Dongyou.
If the person he likes is himself...
Situ Wan slowly clenched his hands, turned around and walked out of the Prince's Mansion with the two maids.
The sky was gradually turning dark, and Situ Wan thought her mother would send someone to pick her up. However, when she walked outside, she found that there was no one outside the Prince's Mansion. There was no carriage and no one to pick her up.
The surroundings were quiet, making people feel an inexplicable feeling of being abandoned, lonely and helpless.
Situ Wan stood blankly, that strong sense of uneasiness struck her heart again. She turned to look at her maid: "Why didn't you prepare the carriage in advance? Do you want me to walk back?"
"Have you wronged Miss Situ by walking home?" Aunt Shi stood inside the gate and looked at her with a frown, "Compared with the troubles Miss Situ has caused, walking back is just a little harder. Waiting for Miss Situ to marry Marquis Zhongyi
The government will know that I am extremely lucky to be able to walk on my own today."
