The second consort and others were sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Princess Duan Min, which suddenly caused an uproar in the capital.
Mrs. Lin, the Marquis of Changning, immediately handed over the sign to Cining Palace and wanted to complain to the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother ignored the matter at all.
Changninghou Mansion.
Lin said anxiously: "Master Hou, please think of something quickly!"
Before Changning Marquis could speak, his eldest son Zheng Zhili said, "Father, let's find out what's going on first, right?"
Mrs. Lin grabbed Bai: "No matter what happens, the princess can't send Zhiyi to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Marquis Changning frowned and said, "Zhili is right. Madam, does she know the reason behind this?"
Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed, and she said with a guilty conscience: "Zuo just made her angry because Zhiyi doted on that concubine. Let me tell you, the princess is really acting up and can't tolerate people like this!"
Zheng Zhili said: "Mom, be careful, the princess will not send Zhiyi to the Ministry of Punishment just because of a trivial matter."
Mrs. Lin glared at him fiercely and said without hesitation: "You are just jealous that Princess Zhiyi will inherit the title in the future!"
Zheng Zhili laughed at himself: "Mom, you worry too much. I will earn fame and wealth on my own, and I won't compete with my brother."
He has understood since he was a child that his father has been partial since he had a stepmother and a younger brother. No matter how good he is, he can't compete with his younger brother.
Zheng Zhili had already lost Chengjue's heart and was determined to earn a future on his own in the future.
Lin quickly said: "You must remember this! The title of the Marquis Mansion in the future has nothing to do with you!"
Marquis Changning coughed and said, "Why are you talking about this? It's better to think about what to do about Zhiyi first."
But after much deliberation, the family is still at a loss.
Mrs. Lin would not have thought that just a few days later, the title of Marquis Changning would indeed have nothing to do with Zheng Zhili, but to be precise, this title would have nothing to do with anyone.
…
Under the harsh scrutiny of the Ministry of Punishments, the maids and women couldn't stand it any longer and confessed what they knew.
Ye and his consort are old acquaintances, and they reunited with him in the capital three years ago.
The prince-in-law placed Ye's family outside, and then deliberately took medicine for two years to make the princess childless, and then found a fake Taoist priest to trick the princess into accepting Ye's family.
Later, some of them were bribed by the prince-in-law with large sums of money, and some of them had their families hijacked. When Princess Duan Min and Mrs. Ye gave birth, they helped the prince-in-law to exchange their children.
The Ministry of Punishments found more relevant evidence based on the confessions of these people.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Zheng Zhiyi and Ye knew that they could not deny their crimes, so they had to admit their crimes.
After the truth came to light, Emperor Chu Ming was furious and issued an order to kill the consort and his family.
The consort Zheng Zhiyi and the Ye family confused the blood of the royal family. The crime was not punishable and they were beheaded in public. The Marquis of Changning was not strict in educating his children, and he was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner.
As soon as the imperial edict arrived, Mrs. Lin fainted.
Not only was the title she cherished so much gone, so was the son she was closest to.
Marquis Changning was also on the verge of falling, and Zheng Zhili quickly supported him.
He looked at all this with a cold eye, feeling that it was not as good as God.
The younger brother, who was favored by his father and stepmother since he was a child, even wanted to give up his title, committed a serious crime and affected the whole family. Now that he is dead, his title is gone. What a trick of God!
…
Before his execution, Zheng Zhiyi repeatedly asked to see the princess, and Princess Duan Min was happy to see his joke, so she agreed.
In the cell, Zheng Zhiyi was unkempt all day long, and he no longer had the graceful appearance of his former consort.
Princess Duan Min said coldly: "I heard that you want to see me."
Zheng Zhiyi hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess, princess, please spare my life! It was all that Ye who bewitched me, I did it unintentionally!"
Princess Duan Min almost laughed out of anger, feeling that she was blind before falling in love with such rotten people.
If Zheng Zhiyi had begged her to spare Ye's life, she would still have looked up to him.
But at the last moment, this rotten man still distanced himself from himself and put everything on Ye's head.
It can be seen that men in the world, no matter how deeply in love they are, still love themselves the most when their lives are at stake.
Seeing that Princess Duan Min was indifferent, Zheng Zhiyi had an idea flash in his mind and said affectionately: "Princess, we also have a daughter, and I am her father. You can't let her lose her father since she was a child!"
It's okay not to mention her daughter. When Princess Duan Min thinks of her daughter who has been treated harshly, she wants to cut these two bitches into pieces!
If it hadn't been for her cousin's voice, she might never have known that her biological daughter had been replaced, and she still regarded the sons of those two bitches as treasures!
Princess Duan Min decided to make this scumbag suffer a little more on the last day of Zheng Zhiyi's life.
The most painful thing for a person is to be given hope, only to have that hope dashed immediately.
Princess Duan Min smiled softly and said, "I want to spare you, Prince Consort."
Zheng Zhiyi believed it to be true, and he couldn't help but cry with joy at the surprise of the rest of his life.
He also kowtowed loudly and said: "Thank you princess, thank you princess, I will definitely do anything to repay you and our children in the future!"
Princess Duan Min waited until he kowtowed enough until there were blood marks on his head, then she approached him and said deliberately: "It's a pity that my father wants you to die, and I can't do anything about it."
Zheng Zhiyi suddenly stiffened and his eyes were dull, as if he hadn't understood the meaning of her words.
He slowly raised his head and asked in a low voice with the last hope in his voice: "Princess, do you want me to use the fake death medicine?"
Princess Duan Min couldn't help but smile, but her smile was full of malice: "No, I just want you to die, and die completely!"
Zheng Zhiyi couldn't believe it and wanted to save her: "Princess, princess, if I die, what will happen to our daughter?"
Princess Duan Min said coldly: "She will live well without you. Zheng Zhiyi, just die in peace!"
After that, she left without looking back.
Tuliu Zheng Zhiyi shouted repeatedly in prison: "Impossible! This is all fake! Princess! Princess! Come back!"
The cell boss was very annoyed after hearing this, and muttered: "The madman is making so much noise."
He directly asked people to beat Zheng Zhiyi until he couldn't scream.
…
Enjoy the palace.
System: [Congratulations to the host, you have successfully helped Princess Duan Min identify the scumbag and find her biological daughter, points +300]
Chu Siqing opened her eyes suddenly: [Eh? So, my cousin knew about the exchange of sons between two consorts? 】
System: [Yes, the second consort and the concubine have been beheaded, and his family has also been implicated. 】
Chu Siqing couldn't help but clapped her hands and said, "This scumbag deserves a good death!" Fortunately, my cousin has dealt with this matter now, otherwise her daughter would have been tortured if she had waited for a long time! 】
In fact, the system originally wanted to say that he felt that his points had increased inexplicably recently.
But Chu Siqing was already complacent and said: "Thanks to me!" My mother-in-law must have heard my thoughts and secretly told my cousin. 】
system:……
Well, that's possible too.
Anyway, having more points would be good for him, so he wouldn't talk too much.
