Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Pan Ruochu's eyes. "Your servant and daughter had heard of this before in Qing Nan. I thought it was just a legend, but who would've thought that it was true?"
"It is absolutely true. This is something I personally promised to Yun Zheng." Zhou Chengdi saw Pan Ruoxi's disappointed expression and said, "How about this, I'll take you as my adopted daughter and make you Princess Yiyun. How about you stay at the palace and play around with her?"
Pan Ruochen thought for a while before asking, "Your majesty, what does Princess Yiyun mean?"
"Yiyun, Yiyun, righteousness and righteousness. I felt that you were a loyal person, so I bestowed you this title." Zhou Chengdi explained.
"Righteous Bestowal?" "I like this name because there is a" Yun "character, so this subject's daughter will be the foster daughter of the emperor."
"Hahaha, good, I've bestowed you with a palace. You can come live in it." Zhou Chengdi said.
Pan Ruoxi crossed her arms and said, "Alright, this won't be a loss. This subject won't hold back. This subject will stay in the palace for a while before returning to Qingnan."
"Alright, I will have Consort Xian prepare everything. You can look for Consort Xian if you need anything in the future." Zhou Chengdi made arrangements for Pan Ruoxi, which was his affirmation and reward for Pan.
"Yes, this subject understands. This subject will go look for the Concubine Xian." Although Pan Ruo Chu didn't get the emperor's support to marry Feng Yunzheng, she felt that giving her the title of a princess wasn't too bad.
Zhou Chengdi looked at Pan Ruoxi's cunning face, and the face of another girl appeared in his mind even more clearly —
He was stunned for a moment before putting aside the trace of emotion and said, "Feng De Gui, send someone to lead Princess Yi Yun to Consort Xian's place."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng De Gui went to make arrangements for Pan Ruo Chu before returning to Zhou Cheng Di. He bowed and asked, "Your majesty, we're leaving for the capital tomorrow. How is Miss Mu Xiao going to arrange this?"
The smile on Zhou Chengdi's face slowly faded as he stood up and asked, "How is she now?"
"I was a bit too agitated just now. The imperial physician gave it to me for medicine, so I've already gone to sleep." Feng De Gui said.
"I'll go take a look."
He stood in front of the bed and stared at the face that was almost exactly the same as Zi Ning's. After staring for almost an hour, he finally muttered:
"Feng Degui, ah, Princess An Guo is right. From the beginning to the end, it's still not the real Zining."
Zhou Chengdi was very disappointed. If he didn't know that Xiao Zhen Hai had sent this smiley face to him, he would have missed Zi Ning. But now, he absolutely could not leave a sinful servant by his side.
However, he couldn't let her leave the scene with Zining's face.
"Feng Degui, arrange for her to stay in our palace in the west of the capital. She will be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life, but she will not be able to leave the palace ever again. If you were to tell me more, I have already hung Su Hanyue with the white silk. " Zhou Chengdi pondered for a moment before giving the order.
The news of Su Hanyue's death had reached Lian Lu Yue's ears. Lian Ru Yue quietly closed her eyes and did not speak.
That night, she ordered Leng Mei to stay at the back of the Manor until late at night. Leng Mei reported that she saw a palanquin leaving and Feng Degui personally followed. She knew that her guess was correct.
Furthermore, the carriage carrying the Xiao father and son was the first to arrive in the capital city. Along the way, the citizens bustled with activity. When they saw the people on the carriage, they were all very surprised —
"Isn't that Duke Xiao? Everyone said that the Duke of Xiao's achievements in the war were highly regarded by the Emperor. Why did he come back in a prisoner's carriage? "
"There's more! Quick, look, look! That's the Great General of the Heavenly Treasures!" When someone noticed that Xiao He was still in the carriage, they were even more shocked.
"I heard that the Great General of the Heavenly Treasures was extremely mighty on the battlefield. The enemy was terrified by the news, so how did he end up like this today?"
"Heh, you still don't know, right? I heard that the Duke of Xiao created the rebellion!"
"Ah?" Rebel? This... "He's too bold."
"Did you forget? "The father-in-law of the Duke of Xiao is King An Ping of Pingzhou. Since King An Ping has started his army, it must be related to the Duke of Xiao …"
The commoners on the streets saw the Xiao father and son that were the most proud of the Xiao family in the capital and all returned in a prison cart. In an instant, the streets were filled with discussions.
Xiao Zhenhai's hair had turned white overnight. His face was tense as he stood in the carriage. He looked at the commoners who were pointing fingers at him and muttered:
I, Xiao Zhenhai, have nine lives. Feng Yunzheng wants to kill me, hur hur, it is not that simple, I will not admit defeat. The heavens will not let me die, I must avenge this revenge. "
He clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Xiao He stood within the carriage and wore a dark purple embroidered robe that wrapped around his tall body. His hands, however, had iron chains tied around them, causing him to be exceptionally eye-catching.
Along the way, the three of them were surrounded by people, and they were pointing at each other, their dignity swept the ground.
He had always been thinking about how their Xiao family had managed to progress to where they were today.
In the end, two names appeared in his mind — —
Feng Yunzheng, Lian Rongyue.
Every incident that happened to the Xiao family was related to these two people.
"Second brother, second brother, how could this be? Is our Xiao family finished?" He was the youngest brother, and he was deeply protected by his father and brother since he was young. He only cared about using his own abilities, but now that an unexpected situation had occurred, he was the one who panicked the most —
Xiao He turned his head and looked at his weak little brother. His heart ached as he said to Xiao Hu, "Third brother, don't be afraid. With second brother here, the Xiao family won't be finished. Who would have thought that after the Xiao family is finished, elder brother won't let them off!"
Xiao He looked at the people on both sides of the street who were pointing and pointing at him. His hands were shackled, and he secretly clenched his fists.

At this very moment, in the Xiao family's residence.
"Madame, Madame, something bad happened! A group of soldiers came and took away the plaque of our Xiao Mansion, and they even put a seal on it …" The housekeeper, Rob, hurried in the direction of the house.
"What did you say?" Madam Xiao abruptly stood up. The flower in her hand fell to the ground with a 'pa' sound. The needle pierced through her finger and blood immediately flowed out.
"Your father, King Anping, rebelled. His Majesty said that the Old Master colluded with King Anping, instigated him to rebel, and even gave him a picture book of the army. And, and …" "Your servant just saw the old master and the second and third young masters being escorted from Ning De to the capital in a prison cart. Everyone was talking animatedly …"
