At this time, Shangguan Qinghe said:

“Grandfather, Uncle, I have an idea.

Tomorrow we can increase patrols and manpower deployment in the city.

Arrange some guards to pretend to be civilians and blend in with them, so that if someone really does rob the execution ground, they can stop them directly.

In addition, we must prevent them from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, or from sneaking into the palace to assassinate us.”

Shangguan Chengwei nodded slightly: "This is a good idea. Prince, you should make good arrangements. If you find any abnormality, report it immediately."

The prince accepted the order and said, "I obey your command."

The next day was destined to be an extraordinary day.

In the morning, the bailiffs responsible for escorting the exiles set out with a group of people from the capital prison to the suburbs.

Upon hearing the news, people in the capital rushed to watch the fun.

As the exile team walked through the streets, the people became increasingly excited.

They began to point fingers at the exiles, and some even threw rotten vegetable leaves and stones at them to vent their anger.

The exiles lowered their heads and silently endured the anger of the people.

They looked listless and unwilling. Although they felt aggrieved and helpless, they also understood that their fate had changed from then on.

They are no longer high and mighty royal family members, but lowly people who are even lower than common people.

Shangguan Fei'er, Shangguan Ruo'er and Shangguan Min were among them. They could never have imagined that they would suffer such a huge change. They were too desperate.

Deep down I hope someone will come to rescue me, and then I will be grateful to them in the future.

Shangguan Fei'er thought of Chen Wang Baili Ye. If he could save her from this hell, she would serve him well and regard him as her heaven.

She looked around and did not see the figure she was expecting. Her expectations were shattered and she was filled with resentment towards Shangguan Qinghe and Baili Ye.

Even though one is extremely unwilling and resentful, one has to accept the fact of exile.

Amid people's discussions, condemnations, insults and vegetable leaves, the exile team slowly walked out of the capital and began their journey of exile.

The exile team finally left the capital, and everyone's discussion continued. As noon approached, the people who were still not satisfied had to rush to the next venue.

At noon, the execution ground was surrounded by heavy troops. The crown prince and a group of ministers came to the scene to supervise the execution.

Below the execution ground, a huge crowd of people gathered, all waiting for Shangguan Yi's arrival.

Many people discussed:

"Shangguan Yi is really heartless. He has enjoyed royal treatment for so many years, but he is still unsatisfied and even dares to covet the throne."

"Yes, I heard that in order to seize the throne, he secretly built a mine and forced the people to work for him for free. I heard that the bones of the dead on the mountain could be piled up into a mountain."

"Not only that, I heard that the ministers he won over colluded with him and committed many corrupt and illegal acts."

"Have you heard that Shangguan Yi, Prince Rui and Prince Gong were involved in human trafficking?

The most famous brothels in the capital are their businesses and also their dens for human trafficking!"

"Oh my god, damn it. Even if I look at his head ten thousand times, I still can't get rid of my hatred. It's not a pity to die."

"Yes, yes, I heard that his biological parents were ungrateful and took advantage of the assassination attempt on the queen right after she gave birth to switch the two children so that their own child could live a royal life.

That would have been fine, but he also cruelly abused the second prince. Tell me, how can this be tolerated?

It is true that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a child who will be moved.

Although Shangguan Yi had been taught by the Emperor and the Empress for many years, he still had evil ambitions and wanted to seize power and usurp the throne.

Although our second prince lives among the common people, the Princess An Ning he taught is both talented and beautiful, and she is the most talented woman in our Great Xia.

This is rotten at the root.”

When Shangguan Yi was taken to the execution ground, he heard these discussions.

His face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his eyes revealed despair and regret.

The Dali Temple Minister read out loudly the charges against Shangguan Yi, and each one of them made the people present feel indignant.

Shangguan Yi lowered his head and listened to his own crimes in silence, no longer having the arrogance of the past.

When the announcement was made, it was noon. The Dali Temple official took out the command arrow, threw it on the ground, and ordered: "Execute!"

The executioner walked forward with a big knife in his hand, took off the death card on Shangguan Yi's back, and prepared to end Shangguan Yi's life.

The executioner raised his sword high, and in the sunlight, the sword flashed a terrifying light.

Shangguan Yi's body began to tremble involuntarily, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked around with a hint of anticipation.

The onlookers held their breath and stared at the center of the execution ground.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept past, making everyone's clothes rustle.

At the moment when the executioner was about to swing his sword, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

A hidden weapon was thrown towards the executioner. When it was about to hit the executioner, a strong wind swept by, causing the hidden weapon to change direction and fall to the ground with a plop.

It was Baili Ye who made the move. Qing He looked at the domineering Baili Ye with starry eyes and said with a smile: "Aye, you are so powerful!"

Baili Ye smiled and touched the little girl's face, and said meaningfully: "I; there are many more powerful people!"

They were talking and laughing, and the executioner was so scared that he was sweating profusely.

The men in black gathered towards Shangguan Yi like a gust of wind and engaged in a fierce battle with the surrounding officers and soldiers.

A look of surprise and confidence appeared on Shangguan Yi's dejected face. As long as his shadow guard came, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to leave here.

However, this time, the prince was well prepared. He deployed defenses in advance, and the officers and soldiers were well-trained and quickly formed a defense line to prevent them from approaching Shangguan Yi.

The prince calmly commanded his officers and soldiers and maintained a tight defense, giving no chance to the robbers.

The two sides launched a thrilling battle, with swords flashing and shouts of killing rising one after another.

Although the men who robbed the execution ground were brave, their attacks were repeatedly blocked by the prince's carefully prepared defenses.

The prince stood on a high place, watching the battle with a determined gaze.

In the fierce battle, the officers and soldiers gradually gained the upper hand.

The people who were robbing the execution ground began to suffer casualties, and their morale was hit.

Finally, under the command of the prince, the officers and soldiers successfully repelled the people who robbed the execution ground.

Shangguan Yi's hopes were completely shattered. His face turned pale, his spirit was completely broken, and his lifeless eyes were filled with despair.

The Dali Temple Minister read out loudly the charges against Shangguan Yi again, and each one of them made the people present feel indignant.

After the reading, the executioner stepped forward again and swung his sword without hesitation.

Shangguan Yi's head rolled to the ground, and blood dyed the ground red.

The prince looked at this scene and felt relieved.

As Shangguan Yi's head fell to the ground, the onlookers cheered and cheers rang out one after another.

The prince turned to face the crowd and said loudly:

"This man's crimes were extremely heinous, and today he was brought to justice, which is the vindication of heaven.

Our Great Xia Dynasty will never allow such things to happen. In the future, the imperial court will take strict precautions to ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing over the execution ground.

Shangguan Qinghe watched all this with a lot of emotion in his heart. An originally ordinary life was broken, and an ambition that should not have been possessed was torn apart.

This fully confirms the saying: Virtue does not match the position.

If Shangguan Yi had not been replaced, he could still live with his biological parents in a farm family, working from sunrise to sunset and returning home at sunset. Wouldn't that be a peaceful life?

If Shangguan Yi had cherished the royal life after being replaced, and had been friendly and respectful to his brothers, given the attitude of his grandparents towards their children, he would not have had any evil thoughts and would not have ended up like this.

It is true that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. The evil sent by heaven can be avoided, but the evil brought by oneself cannot be escaped.
