After everything was settled, Fu Yuheng's worries were half relieved. He was finally put into prison to curb his rebellious behavior, otherwise there would be another massacre.
When reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study, he discovered that many of the ministers who were on good terms with him wanted to get rid of suspicion. He could not help but smile sarcastically and put the memorials aside.
At this time, Sun Ning hurried in from outside the palace and saluted him, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has left Fashan Temple!"
There was anxiety in Sun Ning's voice. Upon hearing that, Fu Yuheng frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction between his brows. The Queen Mother actually went to Fashan Temple for Fu Huaiyu!
"When did you go?"
Sun Ning's face was also very solemn. After all, everyone knew why the Queen Mother left. "She has already left." He carefully glanced at the gloomy face of the man above, "She said she wanted to become a monk and practice!"
"Become a monk and practice?" Fu Yuheng was immediately furious when he heard these words. The Queen Mother of a country actually went to practice without saying a word. "Fu Huaiyu deceived the emperor and raised elite soldiers privately with the intention of rebellion. Does she still want me to forgive her good son?"
On weekdays, he was filial and respectful to the Queen Mother. Despite Fu Huaiyu's rebellion, he still respected her as the Queen Mother. Yet, she made things difficult for him.
Seeing that he was angry, Sun Ning immediately knelt down and advised, "Since the empress dowager has decided to leave, it is not the emperor's fault." He was afraid that he would forgive Fu Huaiyu because of the empress dowager, but based on his understanding of him, he was not that kind of person.
The anger on his handsome face slowly faded, leaving only a chill. His expression gradually cooled down, and his eyes were also cold. "Let her be." If she thought that she could make him regret it and feel remorseful because of this, then she was too naive. He had to get rid of Fu Huaiyu no matter what.
Today, the Ninth Prince's Mansion is like an ant on the hot pan. Three days after Fu Huaiyu was convicted, the Ninth Prince's Mansion has confirmed that he is guilty. If nothing unexpected happens, the charges will be handed down in the next two days.
That night, Mo Zilian and the butler were discussing something in secret. The butler lowered his voice and said, "Be careful!"
"Well, keep a close eye on the Ninth Prince's movements. I'll be back soon after I go to Jiangnan."
"The Ninth Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded now, and it's not easy to get out." The housekeeper looked worried, "We must not let anyone know."
Mo Zilian nodded seriously. He had to go to Jiangnan tonight and asked his butler to keep watch for him.
But things happen unexpectedly, and it just happened to be seen by someone.
Wen Ling was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night. He was waiting for Shen Qingwan's reply, and was worried that Mo Zilian would rush to her yard to kill her. Therefore, he became even more anxious and went to the yard to see if there was a reply. Unfortunately, he saw Mo Zilian discussing with the housekeeper.
She quickly hid herself in the darkness and pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation. Only then did she realize that Mo Zilian was trying to escape to Jiangnan.
Seeing Mo Zilian escape, she felt a lot more at ease. At least he wouldn't come to threaten her. Besides, she knew a secret, so Shen Qingwan would definitely not sit idly by.
The next morning, the palace sent people to arrest all the people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and there was another burst of crying and shouting.
"Help! I don't want to die!"
Wen Ling's heart began to churn when she saw this tragic scene. She was betting on whether Shen Qingwan would arrive in time to save her life. As a result, all the people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion were locked up in the death row. Once in the death row, there was no possibility of survival.
Because they were worried that there might be villains working together from inside and outside the mansion, they would definitely rather kill a hundred by mistake and let one go.
In the imperial study, Fu Yuheng was still upset about the Queen Mother's affairs. He was silent for a long time. Although he had such thoughts, he still had his ninth brother. Besides, the Queen Mother would definitely not be able to accept it. He sighed softly and was not prepared to continue this topic.
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset. Tomorrow is the day of the Ninth Prince's execution." Shen Qingwan saw that he was upset, so she spoke softly and served him the tea she had brewed herself. The tea was good and very fragrant.
Indeed, it is useless to think too much, but for tomorrow's execution, I am afraid that more people will need to be sent to watch. Prison break is inevitable, this time, it is just the right time to catch them all in one fell swoop.
At noon on that day, there was already a huge crowd of people watching outside the execution ground. They all wanted to see the noble Ninth Prince being beheaded. They were already talking about it before Fu Huaiyu showed up.
"What a pity! I heard that the Ninth Prince has a very high reputation in Jiangnan. The people were all grateful to him for the disaster relief last time." A woman with her hair tied up whispered to her husband next to her.
"That's true, but we still have to thank the emperor. Without the emperor's kindness, we wouldn't have such a good life. And the Ninth Prince actually dared to sleep with the emperor's concubine, which is definitely intolerable. What's more, it's treason, a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!" Her husband nodded.
This world belongs to Fu Yuheng, and they are all subjects of this great country, so they should not have any second thoughts.
A moment later, when the sun was at its brightest and it was almost three quarters past noon, a prisoner wearing a black cloth on his head was slowly carried out. The people around him fell silent, but then there was a more heated discussion.
"Is this the Ninth Prince? What a pity." Although Fu Huaiyu's face could not be seen, his gorgeous clothes made people think that he was a handsome young man at first glance, and many people felt sorry for him.
This was what Fu Yuheng specially ordered to be changed before bringing him up.
As it was almost three quarters past noon, the executioner also issued an order.
"The Ninth Prince Fu Huaiyu, together with Imperial Concubine Liu Churong, has defiled the harem and plotted rebellion. They have colluded with Prime Minister Liu and committed treason. They should be executed according to the law! Execute!" The order written by the red cinnabar pen was like a flame, burning the eyes hidden in the dark.
The executioner received the order and was about to take action, but at this moment suddenly a series of screams were heard.
"Someone, come quickly, someone is trying to break into the prison."
Seeing that Fu Huaiyu was about to be rescued from the pillar and taken away by the men in black, the guards that Fu Yuheng had arranged long ago also stood up and said, "Haha, the emperor's guess was right. The prince actually has such thoughts." As he spoke, he also walked towards Fu Huaiyu. The men in black were obviously well-trained.
Seeing the guards coming over, they actually dispersed, on the one hand to stop the guards, and on the other hand to take Fu Huaiyu out. I just don't understand why Fu Huaiyu didn't make any movement today.
Fu Yuheng, who was sitting high up in the seat, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, but in an instant his expression turned into one of worry.
Want to rescue someone like this? It's not that easy. Everything has been arranged. It just depends on whether they are loyal to that person.
