Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xie Yu also looked at him, knowing that he had tried his best and the evidence was irrefutable, so no matter how she argued, it would be useless.

She retracted her gaze, stroked her daughter's red and swollen eyes, and said softly:

"Don't cry anymore, this is our ending. Mother doesn't regret giving birth to you. Now that she's gone, you have to take good care of yourself."

Fan Yueting cried and shook her head:

"Mother, please don't abandon me."

Xie Yu calmed down and looked at Emperor Xia Ming who was sitting on the dragon throne:

"Emperor, I have done something wrong, and I have no complaints about how I should be convicted. The only thing is that Yue Ting is innocent. She is your niece who is related to you by blood. Please, as your uncle, protect Yue Ting for the sake of me being your elder sister."

Emperor Xia Ming looked calm:

"I promise you, Chi Ji has committed a capital crime, there is no punishment for it. The blood test involves the eldest princess, so he is punishable by death. Considering your contributions to Daxia, I will keep your body intact. After three days, you will be given poisoned wine to commit suicide. After death, you will not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, and you will be buried in Yihua Mountain."

Xie Yu committed a serious crime but did not implicate anyone else, so Emperor Xia Ming gave her the greatest leniency.

She went to Huaibei and made great contributions, but she was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death. This was the biggest punishment for her.

Hearing this result, Fan Yueting could not accept it and knelt on the ground begging:

"Your Majesty, you can't kill my mother. She is a great hero of Daxia. You can't treat her like this..."

Xie Yu knew that Emperor Xia Ming had already shown leniency, and Fan Yueting must not vent her anger at this time.

He held Fan Yueting and advised:

"Yueting, don't be like this. As long as you are alive, it doesn't matter what happens to your mother. For your mother, you must live well, understand?"

Chi Ji also wanted to help, and he really wanted his daughter to call him father.

But he knew that Fan Yueting was unwilling to admit it, and even felt that his daughter was a stain on her life. Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, he reached out his hand to comfort them but took it back.

Xie Yu and Chi Ji were both convicted, and although they were not executed immediately, Emperor Xia Ming had already issued an oral order that Xie Yu would not be spared.

Feng Yangyu wanted to see Xie Yu die with her own eyes. The emperor gave her some time, but who knew if he would have any other ideas to keep Xie Yu?

He looked at the dagger on the tray Yuan Chao was holding.

Now is the only chance to avenge his mother. If he kills Xie Yu with his own hands, Feng Qingluan, who has the same surname as him, might be implicated.

If there is a chance to drag Feng Qingluan to death together, he must act now!

Everyone's attention was on Fan Yueting and Xie Yu. Feng Yangyu rushed towards Yuan Chao without warning, snatched the dagger from the tray, turned around and stabbed the crying Xie Yu!

"what!"

Fan Yueting was the first to react and screamed. Xie Yu didn't expect to be assassinated in public and backed away in fear.

Chi Ji was standing beside Xie Yu. Seeing Feng Yangyu rushing towards him like crazy, he rushed forward without hesitation to block Xie Yu.

"Pfft!"

Feng Yangyu's dagger pierced straight into Chi Ji's chest!

When the attack failed, Feng Yangyu pulled out a dagger and aimed it at Xie Yu the next moment!

Jin had come to his side and kicked him away, and Feng Yangyu fell heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Yuan Chaogong screamed:

"Come here, someone is assassinating us, catch him!"

A group of imperial guards rushed in and arrested the seriously injured Feng Yangyu!

Chi Ji helped Xie Yu block the dagger and spat out a lot of blood from his mouth.

Xie Yu caught him and they both slowly sat down on the ground.

At this moment, Xie Yu completely collapsed.

She never loved Chi Ji, she only used him.

But at the critical moment, Chi Ji risked his life for her and died for her. No man had ever treated her like this in her life.

There was no King Gaoyang, no Emperor Huaibei, only Chi Ji.

Xie Yu's tears flowed down:

"Why are you so stupid?"

Blood was still flowing from the corner of Chi Ji's mouth:

"For you, anything is worth it."

Fan Yueting rushed in front of the two men, and seeing Chi Ji bleeding profusely with blood still flowing from his mouth, tears welled up in her eyes.

This is her biological father, and he is dying.

Chi Ji raised his hand and reached out to Fan Yueting, trying to wipe away the tears on her face.

Xie Yu knew what he was thinking, and choked up and said:

"Yueting, Chi Ji is your father. If you don't call him, you will never have a chance in this life."

Fan Yueting was extremely sad, and prejudice and shame were not worth mentioning at this moment.

"Father."

She cried out these two words.

Chi Ji smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Xie Yu reluctantly before he died.

Chi Ji was originally going to be executed by slow slicing, but he was accidentally assassinated by Feng Yangyu in the hall, and thus escaped the pain of slow slicing.

The imperial guards dragged Chi Ji's body away, and Xie Yu was also taken away.

Emperor Xia Ming also dealt with the two witnesses who were still in the palace. He rubbed his brows and said tiredly:

"Everything has been resolved. I am tired. Let's all go down."

He ordered Zhan Yilu, Feng Kun and Feng Yangyu to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, and beheaded them in public three months later.

When everyone was walking out of the hall, Emperor Xia Ming stared at Zhan Yilu's back with a deep gaze.

A snake keeper, an expert at using poison, right?

She might be useful!

After walking out of the Yangxin Palace, Feng Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's tough battle is finally over. Chi Ji is dead. Although Xie Yu can still survive for three days, Emperor Xia Ming issued an oral order to sentence her to death in front of the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice. I think there should be no accidents.

Xie Jin walked up to her and took her hand.

"Now that we have eliminated the two major scourges, we no longer have to worry about someone attacking our family. Next, I will take my grandparents and my uncle's family to tour the capital and have some fun."

Xie Jin smiled gently: "Well, spend more time with them."

The two walked hand in hand towards the palace.

When passing by the garden, Feng Qingluan saw a palace maid hurriedly leading the imperial physician to the Fengyi Palace. She frowned and walked over to ask the palace maid:

"Who is the imperial physician going to see? Is any important person in the palace sick?"

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness Prince Rong and the future Princess Rong, the maid replied honestly:

"Miss Feng, that is a palace maid from Fengyi Palace. Princess Zhaoyang has been seriously ill recently. Every day, the imperial physician comes to the palace to see her, but Princess Zhaoyang's condition has not improved. Concubine Ru is very worried."

After leaving the palace, Feng Qingluan was still thinking about Xie Ying.

Xie Jin also knew about the situation between Xie Ying and Yun Huaiyin. He looked at Feng Qingluan worriedly and said:

"You want to help them?"

Feng Qingluan said, "Well, one of them is trapped in the palace and is seriously ill, and my cousin is also depressed in the Marquis' Mansion. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be big problems between the two of them. We have to find a way to let them meet. They have feelings for each other, so it's better to talk it out."

Xie Jin asked: "What are you going to do?

Feng Qingluan thought about it, an idea came to her mind, and she smiled:

"Isn't Princess Zhaoyang ill? Let's make her sicker. This way I can have a chance to bring my cousin into the palace."

Then she said to the outside:

"Zimo, send someone to the Prince of Chu's mansion to invite the King of Chu to Chunfeng for a gathering, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Xue Zimo took the order and went there immediately.
