Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 224: Treason is a capital crime
And on this day, the Queen Mother also discovered that something was wrong in the palace.
The number of guards guarding outside Kunning Palace was obviously reduced by half. The Queen Mother knew that something must have happened to some of those who tried to rebel.
Could it be that Xuan Moyin is back?
The empress dowager calculated that it had been more than ten days since she sent the nanny to Beiliang to deliver the letter. Judging from the walking speed, the nanny should have arrived in Beiliang a long time ago. So, it seems that Xuan Moyin must have read the letter she wrote to him and has already arrived in the capital?
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother finally calmed down a little.
These past few days, she had been pretending to be calm. In fact, she had staked the life of the Yuan Kingdom and her son on this step. If the nanny had not delivered the letter, if Xuan Moyin had not cared, in short, all of these might be something she could not afford. She was gambling that Xuan Moyin would not let the Yuan Kingdom fall into the hands of those people. It seemed that her bet was right.
The queen also noticed the abnormality in the palace, but she was not as good as the queen mother in guessing the reason.
In the bamboo garden, the four adults who were locked in an empty room by Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin also woke up one by one.
When the four woke up, they were still confused. Where were they?
How did they get together? Where was this place? They didn't know either, so who could they ask?
"Um, um..." When several people wanted to speak, they were horrified to find that they could not make any sound. What's worse, when they wanted to stand up, they found that their whole bodies were weak and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
The four people could only look at each other in horror, looking around the strange room where they were locked up. The room was simple with only a bed and a large table.
What is this place? They don't know why they are imprisoned here? Who is so bold and capable to kidnap the four of them from their heavily guarded houses and imprison them here?
A name suddenly came to the minds of the four people: Xuan Moyin.
Their pupils suddenly dilated. It's over. This was the first thought that came to several people's minds at the same time.
Especially the Duke, he knew that if Xuan Moyin really came back, then he would really have no way out this time.
Several people could only collapse powerlessly on the ground. Now they could only wait for the people who were going to catch them to appear. Apart from that, they could do nothing else.
I don't know how long it took, the door was opened, and Xuan Moyin's tall figure appeared at the door, with Su Luoxue and An Yi following behind him respectively.
The Duke, the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal, and the Shangshu were blinded by the light from the door. They opened their eyes dazedly. The Duke felt as if he was dreaming. He saw the figure at the door was surrounded by golden light, as if he was a god from heaven.
Suddenly, he shuddered and forced himself to wake up. This was not a god, but the god of death to him.
The God of Death——Xuan Moyin!
Xuan Moyin walked straight up to the four people, raised his hand and quickly tapped over them, immediately unblocking the mute points for the four people.
"You...you are Xuan Moyin!" The Duke said to Xuan Moyin tremblingly, not knowing whether he was hungry or scared.
"What? After not seeing each other for a year, Duke, don't you recognize me?" Xuan Moyin said sarcastically with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Regent...Regent..., when did you...come back?" The Prime Minister also said tremblingly.
"What? It seems like none of you want me to come back?" Xuan Moyin said with his hands behind his back as he looked at the four people who fell to the ground powerlessly after taking the muscle softening powder.
“Oh, that’s right. If I don’t come back, the Yuan Kingdom will be…” Xuan Moyin said as his eyes moved around among these four people.
These four people had already been frightened to the point of peeing their pants by the Regent's powerful aura and murderous eyes. If they didn't know that they had taken muscle-softening powder and couldn't get up, they would have knelt down and kowtowed in front of Xuan Moyin.
But it’s almost the same now, because Su Luoxue fed them muscle-softening powder, and now these four adults are lying on the ground as limp as octopuses.
Xuan Moyin pointed at the Duke and said, "It belongs to you, the Duke."
When the Duke heard this, it was like a death warrant for him. He could not move and could only keep saying, "I dare not! Regent, I dare not!"
The other three also said: "Your Majesty, we dare not! We dare not!"
"Humph, you dare not? I think the Duke and the other adults are very brave!" Xuan Moyin sneered, and suddenly he raised his voice and roared: "You dare to put the Queen Mother and the Empress under house arrest, and you dare to secretly mobilize troops to the capital. What else do you dare not do?"
When they heard Xuan Moyin's angry question, they were already trembling on the ground with fear.
"Your Majesty, we... admit our guilt!" several people said helplessly.
"Know your crime? You are guilty of treason!" Xuan Moyin said, "You are all important officials in the court. I don't need to tell you how to punish you for treason, right?"
The crime of treason shall be punished with the execution of all nine generations of the clan, and the crime of death shall be punished with immediate execution!
This has been the case in every dynasty. No one has ever been spared. Even if one holds a golden medal of immunity from death, one cannot escape the crime of treason!
The Duke, the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal and the Minister of State naturally knew very well that they had made mistakes due to their own confusion. It didn't matter if they died, but each of them had dozens of people, young and old, and even babies in their families, and all of them would have to pay the price for their confusion.
Thinking of this, several powerful officials in the court began to cry bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I only ask that you can spare my old mother and young children at home. Wuu, wuu, wuu!" The general begged Xuan Moyin while crying.
Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue didn't say anything, they just stood there and looked at them coldly.
"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and spare my young son!" The Prime Minister pleaded painfully at this time.
His seventh concubine had just given birth to a chubby illegitimate child weighing eight pounds. The child had a lovely appearance since birth. He was less than four months old, and every time he saw him, he would grin and smile at him. Although he was just a illegitimate child, the prime minister loved him very much. Every time he returned home, he would go to the seventh concubine's yard to hug him. Now, thinking that because of him, the child would...
The Shangshu did the same and begged Xuan Moyin with all his might.
On the other hand, although the Duke was also crying bitterly, he did not beg Xuan Moyin like the other three adults. It was not because he did not dare, nor because he did not want to, but because he knew that he was the mastermind and the execution of his entire family was a foregone conclusion. There was no way Xuan Moyin would show leniency and spare his family, although the Duke was too lazy to ask for it.
