Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the Purple Gold Pavilion, Zhang and her daughter Su Qingrou were having an intimate conversation.

At this moment, Prime Minister Su had just returned from the court. He walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion in a trance and distraught state, and went straight to the Purple Gold Pavilion. After entering the house, he ignored Zhang and Su Qingrou and sat down on the stool.

Zhang saw this and quickly stood up and called out, "Master." She couldn't help but feel very surprised. In the past, after Prime Minister Su left the court, he would either go to the study to handle affairs or go to Ningcui Pavilion where Aunt Zhao was. But today, he came to her for the first time, but his expression seemed a little strange!

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Su Qingrou saw that her father ignored her mother and sat down alone in a daze. She felt that something was wrong and asked.

"It's over. The Shangshu Mansion is gone!" Prime Minister Su sighed heavily, and after a long while he slowly uttered these words.

"Dad, what did you say? The Shangshu Mansion is gone?" Su Qingrou was confused and asked hurriedly.

Zhang also looked at him suspiciously.

"At the morning court today, my father-in-law was reported by the Regent for corruption, bribery, and selling of official positions. He was punished by the Emperor and has been thrown into death row. He will be executed at Caishikou in three days. The rest of the people in the Shangshu Mansion will be exiled and will leave immediately." Prime Minister Su closed his eyes and said in pain.

"What?" Zhang was stunned.

"Impossible! How could the Emperor punish my grandfather? My daughter is going to marry the Crown Prince soon. This is impossible!" Su Qingrou shouted in disbelief. Suddenly, she felt a stomachache and bent over, holding her stomach in pain.

"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Call the court doctor, call the court doctor quickly!" Prime Minister Su shouted towards the door.

"Ah...! This is impossible!" Zhang shouted loudly. Without caring about her daughter, Zhang stumbled towards the door. Her personal nanny Wang hurriedly supported her and asked someone to prepare the carriage and drive towards the city gate.

When Zhang hurried to the outskirts of the city, she found that a group of people from the Shangshu Mansion had just been escorted here by officials. She got off the carriage anxiously, staggering, and ran towards the old lady and her aunt, almost falling to the ground on the way.

When she saw her daughter coming, Aunt Xu immediately went forward without hesitation. Because this daughter has always been the source of pride in her heart. She started out as a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and has now become a dignified wife; and her granddaughter is about to marry into the royal family and become the Crown Princess, which can be said to be a matter of honor for the family! Seeing that her position in the Shangshu Mansion is becoming increasingly stable and powerful, she thought that her life would be better and better in the future, but she never expected that the Shangshu Mansion would suddenly suffer a disaster and be confiscated!

Thinking of this, Aunt Xu couldn't help but look behind Zhang, but she didn't see Qingrou coming to see her off, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Just when she wanted to ask something, she saw the old lady slowly walking over with Yan's careful support.

"Child, your father will be executed in three days, and you will be the only one left in the capital. Remember to collect your father's body and bury him properly." The old lady burst into tears and said tremblingly while holding Zhang's hand.

"Yes, grandma! Your granddaughter understands." Zhang was also crying at this time.

At this time, Nanny Wang had someone bring over a few large packages. These were some thick clothes that the maids had been asked to pack quickly before leaving the house, as well as a few quilts, some food, and some silver bills.

Then he took out a bag of silver and quietly handed it to the leader of the escort officers: "Sir, you have worked hard. Please take good care of us."

The little leader took the silver bag with a greedy look on his face, then carefully weighed it with his hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he stuffed it into his chest pocket with satisfaction. Then, he waved to the team behind him and shouted loudly: "Okay! Let's set off. If we are any later, we will not be able to reach the post station before dark."

Following the order from the little leader, the escort team that had been stagnant started slowly again.

Aunt Xu, with tears in her eyes, reluctantly let go of Zhang's hand; while Yan gently comforted the old lady, she carefully supported her and walked forward step by step. The eldest son held a young child in his left hand and another slightly older child in his right hand. He turned his head from time to time, staring at the gate of the capital city that was getting farther and farther away, with endless attachment and helplessness in his eyes. Finally, he sighed deeply, turned his head, took heavy steps, and walked slowly forward.

At the same time, the second son was being carried forward by two guards on a worn-out door panel. Due to his serious injuries, he kept groaning and crying in pain along the way, but no one came to take care of him.

On this difficult and arduous road of exile, everyone faced numerous obstacles - rugged roads, unpredictable climate, extremely harsh natural environment... coupled with many unfavorable factors such as food shortages and lack of medical conditions, it can be said that only a few people can reach the place of exile alive. In such a situation, life and death are no longer controlled by oneself.

In the Prime Minister's residence, the court doctor felt Su Qingrou's pulse. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Prime Minister Su looking at him with a warning look. The court doctor naturally knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, so he quickly said: "Master, the second young lady is fine. Just pay more attention to rest and don't get too excited."

"Well, go down and keep your mouth shut." Prime Minister Su said.

"Yes." The court doctor quickly retreated, knowing that what happened in the deep house could not be discussed.

Su Qingrou also felt better at this time. She sat up and looked at Prime Minister Su and said, "Dad, why would the Regent suddenly attack the Shangshu Mansion?"

Prime Minister Su could not answer this question because he really didn't know.

At this time, Zhang also stumbled back with the support of Nanny Wang.

"Mother." Su Qingrou asked cryingly as soon as she saw Zhang: "How are grandma and the others?"

Nanny Wang helped Zhang sit down. Zhang looked at Prime Minister Su with red eyes, then looked at her daughter and burst into tears.

Once upon a time, Shangshu Mansion was her support and her confidence. Now, her father was about to be beheaded, her mother and others were exiled, and Shangshu Mansion was gone. Now, looking around the capital, she was alone. The master only had that vixen Aunt Zhao in his heart and eyes. How could she live in the future!

"Stop crying. My daughter almost had a miscarriage and has just gotten better. Please be quiet!" Prime Minister Su looked at Zhang and said loudly.

Upon hearing that Su Qingrou had just had a miscarriage, Zhang stopped crying and said, "Rou'er, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine." Su Qingrou said.

Prime Minister Su stood up and walked straight to the study. "Go check if there is any conflict between the Shangshu Mansion and the Regent King recently?" Prime Minister Su told the guards around him as soon as he arrived at the study.

He really couldn't understand why Xuan Moyin suddenly took action against the Shangshu Mansion.
