After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

As soon as Emperor Xuanwu finished speaking, the Imperial Guards rushed in immediately.

Shang Yuntong was completely terrified, and she truly realized that her life was hanging by a thread.

She quickly looked at Zheng Yuzhen:

"Husband, save me, husband!"

Zheng Yuzhen was also shocked. He did not expect the emperor to be so angry.

He subconsciously looked up and wanted to make a request, but seeing the furious Emperor Xuanwu, he dared not say a word.

Shang Yuntong pulled his sleeve, and he cruelly pried her fingers apart.

Shang Yuntong's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Zheng Yuzhen..."

At this time, she already knew that she could not count on Zheng Yuzhen, so she kowtowed to Emperor Xuanwu:

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"Please, for the sake of my previous meritorious service on the battlefield, spare me this time."

With her life hanging by a thread, the only thing she could think of was her contributions on the battlefield.

Zheng Yuzhen once told her that she had made great contributions.

If she were not a woman, she could have been directly conferred a fourth-rank official title.

"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"

Shang Yuntong kept bowing her head.

Emperor Xuanwu had a cold face and said nothing.

At this moment, the eunuch outside reported that Duke Anguo had arrived.

Emperor Xuanwu paused for a moment and said:

"Please come in, Duke Anguo."

Duke Anguo was wearing court robes and knelt down when he saw Emperor Xuanwu:

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

"Old Duke, please stand up."

Emperor Xuanwu still had great respect for Duke Anguo.

Back then, when he was trying to seize the throne, it was the old Duke who helped him at the critical moment, so that he could successfully take this position.

He still remembers this kindness.

"Your Majesty, I dare not get up."

"I have failed to teach my family well, and I have allowed them to make such a big mistake. I am ashamed to face His Majesty."

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, Duke Anguo kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuanwu.

He didn't want to get involved in Shang Yuntong's affairs, but he had to.

Shang Yuntong is still the granddaughter-in-law of their Zheng family. If she were really executed on the spot, it would only damage the reputation of their Duke Anguo.

Duke Anguo even pleaded for mercy, plus what Shang Yuntong had said before.

Emperor Xuanwu was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"From today on, Zheng Shang is no longer a national player."

"Go down."

This is already the best result. Duke Anguo immediately kowtowed and thanked:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shang Yuntong didn't dare to say anything, the cold sweat on her back had soaked her clothes.

After Duke Anguo left, Emperor Xuanwu said slowly:

"Send someone to Prince Yong's palace."

He paused and said:

"Give me more rewards."

"Also, urge the Ministry of Rites and Nanbang to have Princess Nanbang marry into the Duke of Anguo's Mansion as soon as possible."

When mentioning the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, a hint of displeasure clearly flashed across Emperor Xuanwu's eyes.

Over there, Shang Yuntong followed Duke Anguo and Zheng Yuzhen back to Duke Anguo's Mansion.

At the mansion, a group of people were waiting for them.

Father Zheng stepped forward and said:

"Father, how is it?"

"Is the Emperor angry?"

Duke Anguo said calmly:

"I can only use my face this once."

As he said this, he looked at Shang Yuntong:

"From today on, Zheng Shang is not allowed to leave her courtyard without my permission."

Shang Yuntong lowered her head and dared not speak.

Compared to death, house arrest is the best outcome.

Besides, it’s just house arrest.

After this is over, she will still have a chance to get out.

During this period of confinement, she can think carefully about what to do next.

This place is a little different from what she imagined.
