Zhan Yi stepped forward and knelt down.
The head of the Xiang family led everyone to kneel down in a hurry, and Ye Qianning quietly hid back at the door.
The people also knelt down and handed Xiang Mingli to the old lady, while Mrs. Wang knelt beside her and wiped her tears.
"The Emperor has an edict that Mrs. Xiang's family has no discipline and has assassinated the general. She has committed a heinous crime and has been assigned to Zhuangzi. She will never be able to return to the capital city. The second wife of the Xiang family is full of evil deeds and deliberately kills people. She will be exiled to the northern mines and set off today." Eunuch Li folded the imperial edict after reading it. Qi: "General Xiang is seriously injured, so the patriarch Zhang Lao will take over this decree."
"The common people accept the order." The old patriarch came forward and knelt down to receive the order.
Eunuch Li sent the imperial edict: "How is General Xiang?"
"The general is seriously injured and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed in a short time."
"The emperor asked our family to bring the best gold sore medicine to General Xiang." Eunuch Li took it out from his arms.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Li smiled and looked up at everyone: "Everyone, please disperse. The Emperor knows everything about the General's Mansion and will never forgive anyone who seriously injured the General. As a courtier, your life belongs to the Royal Family, even if it is your biological mother." Nor does he have the right to control life and death.”
The words passed down by Emperor Beili also served as a warning to all the officials in the court. If they all thought like Mrs. Xiang, the court would be in chaos.
"When a woman marries, she follows her husband, and when her husband dies, she follows her son. This has not changed since ancient times." Eunuch Li said again with a raised voice.
The crowd was very quiet, and they all understood in their hearts that the world belongs to the emperor, and the general is the sword in the emperor's hand. The ignorant old woman almost broke the sword, how could the emperor tolerate it.
If you are sent to Zhuangzi, your life will not be long.
This result also calmed everyone's anger.
Old Madam Xiang turned pale with fright. She was still arguing with energy just now, but she fell silent after hearing the imperial edict. She lowered her head and hugged the unconscious Xiang Mingli, with her head close to her, and her big hands touched his hair: "Be good, second brother, sleep now. Be good..."
Wang was so frightened that she almost fainted. Being sent to the northern mines was tantamount to death. If she took her children to that place, life would be worse than death.
"Mother... mother..." She was already scared, but the old lady's sudden change made her confused.
"Chief Xiang, the government will come to pick you up tomorrow, so be sure to keep an eye on him." Eunuch Li said.
"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry."
Eunuch Li got on the carriage after giving instructions.
Xiang, the old patriarch, looked back and saw that the old lady didn't look pitiful anymore. He raised his hand and called to the boy: "Take them all to the woodshed and watch them carefully. Don't let them run away and die."
"yes."
The young man stepped forward and pulled the old lady up. The old lady couldn't move, and she still had a smile on her face.
"Shh, please keep your voice down. My second child is sleeping, please keep your voice down."
The servant pulled the person through the gate without saying a word, and several people carried Xiang Mingli back to the house.
Wang was pulled up, her feet swaying, and she stumbled as if she had lost her soul.
Madam Zhan watched with surprise in her eyes: "Mrs. Xiang must not be... crazy."
"Pretending." Zhan Chi snorted.
"I don't see it."
"If you don't go crazy sooner or later, you will go crazy after the imperial edict. That's why I lied to you, mother." Zhan Chi has never seen someone with such a strong heart as Mrs. Xiang. It's strange that she can be crazy.
Mrs. Zhan pushed back dissatisfied: "Speak nicely."
"My son is saying that my mother is kind-hearted." Zhan Chi smiled.
"Glib tongue." Mrs. Zhan sneered, raised her head and looked around: "Where is Fat Tuan."
Hearing this, Zhan Chi looked around and saw no one: "Let's go back to Yuehua Xiaozhu."
