Feng Qianyue is indeed Feng Qianyue!
He was using his banter to hint to everyone that he had nothing to do with Xiao Zhenhai's conspiracy. He did not feel guilty.
"The county governor is fortunate to have such a promising younger brother." Feng Qianyue walked over and looked at Lian Ruyue. Their gazes met in midair, and a trace of a mocking smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. I was only doing what I should have done. The Emperor rewarded me, but in truth, I love you dearly." Lian Ruyue's tone of voice was extremely measured, but her smile didn't change at all.
"You're being modest." Feng Qianyue said.
"Fourth Prince, there are a lot of guests today. If there are any places that you're not able to attend to, please forgive me." Lian Ruyue nodded to him, then walked back to her mother.
Feng Qianyue looked at her back, then looked towards Ying Kong and nodded.
The Prime Minister's Estate was bustling with noise and excitement, but underneath the True Sun Sect, there was another miserable scene.
Xiao Zhenhai, Xiao Hu, Madam Xiao, Fan Ming, and the rest were all being escorted into the courtyard. Behind each of them was a jailer with a butcher's knife in his hand. He was about to be executed as soon as noon arrived.
Lord Ding, who was in charge of the execution behind the table, raised his head and looked at the sky.
"How long until noon?" He asked the guard beside him.
"Sir, there's still an hour."
"An hour. Soon." As Lord Ding spoke, he looked at Xiao Zhenhai and could not help but shake his head.
At this moment, he was wearing a white prison uniform, and his messy hair was in disarray. These days, his hair had mostly turned white, and there was a command plate stuck onto his back. A bloody "Kill" character was written on it with red paint.
The renowned formidable figures of the past had finally declined just like that. All their glory had already passed. In this Great Zhou Dynasty, there was probably no more Xiao Clan.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai was kneeling on the ground, looking at the commoners with sinister eyes.
Suddenly, like a mad lion, he stood up and shouted:
"Xiao He!" Xiao He! You want to avenge us, you want to kill them, kill them, do you hear me?! You are my son, my son.
When Lord Ding saw him, he hurriedly ordered, "Quick, quick! I'm afraid this person is going crazy. Hurry and hold him down!"
"Yes sir!" A few jailers stepped forward and pressed Xiao Zhenhai's shoulder. Although Xiao Zhenhai's hands were tied behind his back, he actually managed to throw the two jailers over his shoulder as he spat out:
"Pui!" A child with a yellow mouth! This old man will go on the battlefield and kill the enemy. When I was trying to resolve Your Majesty's troubles, you guys didn't even know where you were.
"Xiao Zhenhai!" "Do you still think you're that high and mighty duke? Wake up, you started the army along with King Anping. Your crimes are unforgivable. The Emperor has already ordered to behead you, and he wants to destroy your Xiao family!"
"This old man was wrongly accused! It was Ninth Prince! It was Ninth Prince who set this old man up! This old man was wrongly accused! His Majesty was deceived by Ninth Prince!" Xiao Zhenhai stared at Lord Ding with his crimson eyes.
"Ha!" Lord Ding laughed contemptuously, "Then you are not only committing a crime by colluding with King Anping. All these years, you seized and plundered people's land, causing many people to become homeless, making the people complain about you. Lord Ding laughed contemptuously," Then you are not only colluding with King Anping's crime, all these years, you took and plundered people's land, causing many people to become homeless.
"…" Xiao Zhenhai's expression changed as he said, "This is not what this old man wanted. This is what this old man's subordinate told this old man to do for the sake of killing innocent people."
"Hmph, without you, Xiao Zhenhai, protecting them, would they dare to do that?" the hostage asked.
Xiao Zhenhai had dominated the battlefield for so many years, but now he was stopped by a nobody that he had never even looked at!
He suddenly shouted again, "He'er, He'er, did you see that? You know who did all this to your father, and now he's been bullied by these little bastards! Kill them! You must avenge your father by killing them! "
"Xiao Zhenhai!" Madame Xiao, who was kneeling on the side, finally glared at her husband, and shouted in a low voice, "What do you want to do? You can't die enough, do you really want to drag River'er into the water?" "Hehe, today, you are the one who brought this upon yourself. You cannot blame others for what happened to you."
I already warned you not to collude with the prince, not to collude with the imperial harem, but you didn't listen. Until now, you're not even willing to let your only living son live? You know that He'er is filial, and yet you force him to do so! "
"The merciful!" Since He'Er is the son of Xiao Zhenhai, I should take revenge for killing my father. " Xiao Zhenhai turned around and cursed softly.
"Xiao Zhenhai, I, Lu Xi, am King An Ping's eldest daughter. Now that my father has rebelled, I have been executed by the Emperor. This is what I should do for my father.
But if you hadn't selfishly provoked the relationship between Pingzhou and the Ninth Prince, my father wouldn't have rashly gone to war. He would have sent me to leave the capital with my children, whereas you, who have allowed your family to die with you, now that the Emperor has opened up a way for him to live, rushed to send him to his death! "
"Lu Xi, stop bullshitting!" Xiao Zhenhai clenched his fists as he spoke in a rough voice.
Lu Xi smiled, "You know how you misled my father."
Suddenly, a guilty expression appeared on Xiao Zhenhai's face. That's right, the letters between him and King Anping were written in the name of Lu Xi. Thus, he gave his father-in-law, King Anping, some false information.
Xiao Zhenhai, you and I are husband and wife. When you took me from Pingzhou to the capital in a carriage, I was married to a chicken and a dog. I took off my saddle and tied up my hair.
Lord Ding discovered that Xiao Zhen Hai and Madam Sheng were talking, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. His vigilance increased as he stood up and shouted, "You can't recklessly make noise on the execution grounds!"
Not far away, a man wearing a hat was watching the scene on the execution ground. Looking at his father, who used to be so proud and arrogant, being pressed to the ground by a few guards, he tightly clenched his fist.
He couldn't hear what his father was saying to his mother, and a pained expression crossed his face. Finally, he looked up at the sky.
"Father, mother, third brother …" Xiao He's heart felt as if it was being twisted by a knife, and the blood in his body was restless.
