Wu Chengtian was taken back to the prison of Jiulong Mansion.
Since eight people were killed in succession, the circumstances were very serious, and the murder methods were extremely bad, which almost caused panic in the entire capital. Therefore, the day after he was captured and brought to justice, the emperor personally ordered him to be executed.
That afternoon, the Ministry of Punishment sent someone to take him away. Before leaving, the Ministry of Punishment also asked Chen Yutian for a copy of the entire beheading case file.
Early the next morning, Wu Chengtian was beheaded in front of thousands of people in Xuandu for his heinous crime!
It is said that when the person was beheaded, the people in the audience were so excited that they wished they were the executioner in charge of the execution.
Mrs. Wu did not look.
When Wu Chengtian was beheaded, she set up a small mourning hall in the Wu family manor. On top of the mourning hall was the spiritual tablet that Wu Chengtian had made when he faked his death.
She was praying for her husband.
Also atoning for his sins.
This is the only and only thing she can do as his wife and lover.
The moment Wu Chengtian's head fell to the ground, the ever-burning lamp in the mourning hall suddenly went out.
And Mrs. Wu's heart completely died with the arrival of this moment.
She dismissed the last servants in the manor, took the things she had packed, and walked out of this place where she had lived for less than three years but was filled with half a lifetime of happy memories.
She did not return to her natal family.
Instead, he headed towards Borneo Mountain outside the capital.
There are bells ringing there and green lanterns shining brightly...
…
…
Chen Yutian did not watch the scene of Wu Chengtian's execution.
Even the entire Jiulong Mansion, including the people from Taiyi Tianfu who lived here temporarily, did not go to see it, except for one person, Ling Xiaowu.
Because he wanted to witness the death of Wu Chengtian, his enemy.
The beheading case was solved, and the people of Jiulong Mansion were free again. Originally, they should continue to patrol after solving this matter, but the emperor told them that there was no need to leave in a hurry before the Western Barbarian envoys arrived.
So everyone was completely idle.
Practicing martial arts every day, playing chess, or going out with Lin Tao and Han Tong to grab some of the delicious food made by Lin Feifei. This is the daily life of everyone in Jiulong Mansion these days.
It’s really relaxing.
Chen Yutian was half-lying on the Taishi chair behind the desk, with his legs crossed in a rare move. He was holding a book in his hand, and he was flipping through it at a glance.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Xuan Xi walked in. Seeing Chen Yutian's rare appearance of being relaxed and not paying attention to his manners, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.
"Yutian, have you forgotten something?" The girl covered her mouth and smiled secretly, then looked at the ungraceful person in front of her and spoke.
"Huh? I forgot something..." Chen Yutian took away the book in front of him and glanced at Xuan Xi lightly.
"Do you remember that Mr. Chen once told you that he wanted you to go home no matter what after this case is over..." As soon as Xuan Xi said this, Chen Yutian suddenly jumped out of his chair. got up.
"It's so tragic... I really forgot about this... Fortunately, you reminded me..."
With that said, Chen Yutian put down the book in his hand and straightened his clothes a little. At this moment, he suddenly looked at Xuan Xi with a strange expression.
"If I remember correctly, my father told me to let you go with me, right?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded briskly.
Chen Yutian couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows slightly.
He really couldn't figure out why he had to take Xuan Xi home?
But since this was an order from his parents, even if Chen Yutian couldn't figure it out, he could only take Xuan Xi to the Duke's Mansion.
The two of them had just arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion on horseback. From afar, they saw Duke Chen and Hua Yueming standing at the gate with a group of servants and maids, waiting. It seemed like they had been waiting for a long time. .
"I'm coming……"
Watching Xuan Xi and Chen Yutian's horses slowly advance towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Hua Yueming's face showed an extremely happy smile.
"Hurry up and get ready to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess." Duke Chen ordered the many servants and maids behind him, and then saw Teng Chun walking out with two young men, holding Chen Yutian and Chen Yutian in front of him. Xuan Xi’s horse.
"Mom and Dad." Chen Yutian got off his horse and said to his parents with a smile.
But the eyes of Hua Yueming and Chen Gong were not on him at all at this moment, but on Xuan Xi who came back with him.
"Old minister, please join me, Your Highness the Princess." Duke Chen led many servants and bowed suddenly to Xuan Xi.
Xuan Xi was also a little frightened by such a battle, so he could only wave his hands subconsciously and said, "Uncle Chen, you are not polite. This is really too polite."
Duke Chen stood up and immediately ordered inside, "Come, welcome the princess into the house."
After saying this, the four little maids immediately stepped forward and took Xuan Xi, who was still a little confused, directly into the mansion. Hua Yueming followed him into the mansion with a smile on his face.
From beginning to end, they didn't seem to notice Chen Yutian's existence.
Chen Yutian stared blankly at everything that happened in front of him. He who always had the pearl of wisdom in his hands was completely at a loss at this moment.
What the hell does this happen?
He frowned, followed Mr. Chen, and asked, "Dad, what is going on? With such a big battle, those who know understand that you are welcoming the princess, but those who don't know think Xuan Xi is yours. Where is my daughter..."
Duke Chen looked back at his son and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Yutian shook his head quickly.
"How is it possible? You are my son, and I still don't understand you. But this time you can be so obedient and bring the princess back, so I won't say anything to you. You'd better prepare yourself, and you'll be here later. It's time for you to express yourself." After Chen Gong finished speaking, he followed him, leaving Chen Yutian standing at the door confused, expressing, what did he express?
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Chen Yutian had no choice but to walk into the mansion with a wry smile.
When they came to the main hall, they saw Hua Yueming and Xuan Xi sitting together. Chen Yutian looked at his mother's movements and demeanor and thought to himself, this makes them more like mother and daughter... But what exactly is this? what's the situation?
He originally wanted to ask Uncle Teng about the situation, but Teng Chun didn't tell him anything. He just kept praising him for his deep blessings.
"Your Highness Princess, I have something here to give you." Suddenly, Hua Yueming, who was holding Xuan Xi's hand and talking, brought a small and exquisite jade box from the hand of a maid next to her.
With a hint of curiosity, Xuan Xi took the box from Hua Yueming, opened it, and was stunned for a moment.
There was a white jade pendant placed in the box. It was crystal clear and engraved with various strange patterns. It looked exquisite. But this was not the reason why Xuan Xi was surprised.
The reason why she was so surprised was because she could feel the misty inner energy flowing through the pendant, and there was even a hint of white light flowing through it.
Such a thing must be priceless! !
"This... this is too valuable, I can't accept it." Xuan Xi stood up subconsciously and pushed the box away.
Hua Yueming smiled and said: "One family does not speak the same language as the other... Princess, why are you so polite? Besides, when you get married in the future, these things will still be yours..."
As soon as Hua Yueming said these words, Chen Yutian at the door immediately felt a huge wave in his mind! !
"Pass... pass?"
He quickly came to Hua Yueming and Duke Chen, looked at Xuan Xi, and asked hurriedly: "Mom and dad, what are you talking about? Who wants to marry? What is going on?"
Hua Yueming looked at his son strangely, then at Xuan Xi beside him, and then cast a questioning look. Seeing this, Xuan Xi looked at Chen Yutian and shook his head slightly.
Seeing their obvious exchange of hints, Chen Yutian became even more anxious, "Mom, what is going on?"
Hua Yueming looked at Xuan Xi's movements, glanced at his son slightly, and said with a smile: "It seems that you, the person involved, don't know yet... Just a few days ago, the Queen Mother and the Emperor had decreed a marriage. Princess Xuanxi has been betrothed to you..."
boom! !
As soon as Hua Yueming finished speaking, Chen Yutian's heart suddenly exploded like a bolt of lightning, and he froze on the spot.
Suddenly there were only two words left in my mind.
Marriage grant...
