The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 539: Execution

Their shouts were filled with surprise, trembling and disappointment.

They originally still held out hope that Xue Jianhai would come with his troops outside to rescue them, but now seeing Xue Jianhai who was even more embarrassed than them, their fantasy was shattered.

Xue Jianhai, whose leg was broken, crawled to his father Xue Conggui, looked at him with a dead look on his face, then looked feebly at the other cell, and said with a lingering breath: "Dad, Dad, it's my son's incompetence that failed to lead people to seize Kyoto. I'm sorry for you, and for my elder brother..."

When Xue Conggui saw his son in front of him, he instantly felt hope shattered and his whole body trembled violently. How could this happen? How could this happen?

No wonder he didn't see his son coming until he was captured that night. He still held out hope for the past two days, thinking that his second son had escaped and brought the army to rescue him.

The veins on his chained hands bulged. He clenched his fists and looked at Xue Jianhai with desperate eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Jianhai, what happened? Why were you captured? Where are your troops? Where are our people? Didn't we control the palace and Kyoto at that time? What happened later?"

Since Xue Conggui was sent to the prison the night before and was interrogated, he could not understand why they failed when they were about to succeed.

Xue Jianhai looked at Xue Conggui who was still unwilling to give up, and felt powerless and resentful towards his father. His father should never have such big ambitions. But he still couldn't help them, and it was too late to say anything now.

He looked at his father and said weakly, "Father, big brother, we were all fooled. The emperor and the prince knew our plan and deployment a long time ago. You, big brother, and Prince Yu were able to enter the palace so quickly because they let you in on purpose."

"This... this... this is impossible. Haven't all their soldiers been transferred away?"

"Dad, they are doing that just for you to see. Now the Jingyong Army is everywhere inside and outside the city.

Not only that, the Jingyong Army uses magical weapons. They have magical weapons in their hands. One person can deal with many of us.

The soldiers in our secret passage all died from the loud explosion of that magical weapon, and my son's legs were also broken by that magical weapon."

"Divine Artifact?" The father and son in the cell next door couldn't help but ask at the same time.

Suddenly, Xue Conggui's grandson Xue Bowen muttered in a low voice: "Grandfather, I once told you that I heard several earth-shaking noises outside the city, and you said I misheard."

Xue Conggui also thought of this incident. He regretted his carelessness very much, but he still didn't understand and said, "Our people also have a secret passage to enter the palace!"

"Hey, God really doesn't help evil people like you. Princess Jing discovered the secret passage in the cold palace." The prince sneered.

After hearing this, Xue Conggui finally understood how they failed. He looked at Prince Chu Chenxiao with gloomy eyes, his teeth chattering as if he wanted to eat Chu Chenxiao.

"This is all your fault... You and Chu Xiong have been plotting against me for a long time. You have set up a plan and are waiting for us here? You want to eliminate our Xue family?"

"If you didn't have such ambition, would you have been tricked? You had ambitions long ago and tried to win over other ministers. Not only did you poison me, you also sent people to assassinate me many times. You also colluded with Nanchu to kill Prince Jing, and colluded with Beiyue and the Dirong people."

"No... This is all Chu Xiong's fault. I helped him stabilize the throne, so I want him to make Chu Chenyu the crown prince. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Prime Minister Xue, do you really want to help the Second Prince become the Crown Prince? You clearly want to change the dynasty in your heart."

"Hahaha, do you have evidence? What can you do to me without evidence? Without evidence, it would be a slander against me. I am the grandfather of Prince Yu."

“Hahahaha…hahahaha…hahahaha…” Ning Zhenwu was so angry that he laughed at his shameless words, “Old thief, do you really think that the emperor tolerates you again and again because he is afraid of you? You have done so many bad things, and you think we have no evidence, so you bring people to the palace and you are a traitor.”

"I am Chu Xiong's father-in-law and Chu Chenyu's grandfather. The emperor will not kill me for the sake of his reputation."

"Don't use Chu Chenyu as an excuse. I don't know what he would think if he knew you were just using him."

"You are slandering the old minister."

"Hahaha, have you really forgotten that there was a dragon robe in your secret room that was stolen?" The prince stabbed him hard again.

When Xue Conggui heard this, he knew that his affairs were under their control.

Dali Temple Minister Shao Wanbo frowned and said, "Xue, old thief, you should have thought about the consequences of doing these things."

"What are you, little brat?"

Shao Wanbo had long disliked him, and now he was imprisoned in the death row but he was still so arrogant. He could not help but sneer at him and said, "Old thief Xue, I have a piece of news for you, don't get excited.

"The Second Prince has been stripped of his title of Prince Yu by the Emperor, but the Emperor is still kind-hearted and did not put him in jail."

Shao Wanbo paused here, and during this pause, Xue Conggui felt a surge of hope.

But then Shao Wanbo continued, "The emperor gave him a fief in Jingbei and ordered him to never leave Jingbei or return to Kyoto."

Xue Conggui was horrified when he heard this and fell to the ground. Xue Jianming, who was imprisoned in the cell next to him, also collapsed to the ground and kept saying, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

His grandchildren and family members who were imprisoned all looked dejected.

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao said to Shao Wanbo, "Have someone drag him in and let their family reminisce about the past tonight." After saying that, he and Ning Zhenwu turned around and prepared to leave the cell.

Xue Conggui's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted hoarsely, "I want to see the emperor."

"I am not worthy of seeing the Emperor."

"I have something secret to tell the Emperor."

"If you want to talk, just say it. If you don't want to talk, just take it to the underworld." The prince looked at him coldly and said. What is this old thief planning again?

"Chu Chenxiao, if you don't let me see the emperor, you will regret it. The Western Chu Kingdom is about to fall into war. How long can you sit on the throne of the crown prince?"

"Oh, really? I didn't expect that you, Xue Xiang, have the ability to tell fortunes."

"If you just let me go, you will be spared this war."

Xue Jianhai, who was lying on the ground in pain and without a trace of life, felt a chill in his heart when he heard his father say that. He was planning to attack his grandson, that is, his son Xue Boxin and others. He hoped that his son would receive the letter he sent to him and take his men to hide in the mountains.

Prince Chu Chenxiao also thought of what Chu Chenjing had told him, and said with a cold smile, "Prime Minister Xue, don't harbor any more illusions. This prince knows what you are planning, it's nothing more than the military strength of Shiha City.

And the soldiers trained by your good brother who faked his death, unfortunately, they have all been controlled by Prince Jing." After saying that, he walked out.

When Xue Conggui heard the prince's words, he felt deeply despair. A fishy and sticky liquid flowed out of his throat. He closed his eyes sadly, lamenting that what was coming had finally come.

"Prince Jing, Chu Chenjing, no, no." He muttered to himself.

At this time, the wailing of men and women could be heard in the cell.

Noon of the second day

At the execution ground in the capital of Western Chu State, Xue Conggui's family was beheaded, and his follower Xie Zhihong's family was also beheaded shortly afterwards.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince Chu Chenyu sat alone at the table, drinking the wine from the pot numbly.
