Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

He thought that God had finally opened his eyes this time and allowed him to travel through time and become a wealthy young man from an ancient family, just like in those exciting novels he had read.

But soon he discovered that his biological mother was just a lowly maid.

Fortunately, he was a boy and was sent to the mistress to be raised when he was just one month old.

From then on, he showed special affection for the mistress, treating himself as her own son, and tried hard to distance himself from his lowly biological mother...

Chen Qingzhu already knew what happened afterwards.

Zhou Zixuan's life is actually unremarkable.

The reason why Chen Qingzhu felt that there was too much information was mainly because in his era, there were too many things that could shock her.

She sorted out this part of her memory and planned to spend some time studying it slowly later.

At this point, all the doubts in her heart were resolved.

It turns out that the immortal recipes that Pei Xuan gave to Emperor Yong'an were all ones he read in "time-travel novels".

He was just an ordinary person and not enough to pose any additional threat to Rong Niang.

As for why he has been so cold and selfish since childhood, the answer is already obvious.

Because from the very beginning, he never regarded her and Rong Niang as relatives, but only as tools and stumbling blocks.

She no longer wanted to strictly define whether Pei Xuan could be considered her child.

Because in addition to the previous memories, Chen Qingzhu also learned from Pei Xuan's recent memories about his plan with several powerful people in the capital to assassinate Rong Niang.

Just for this reason, she would not allow Pei Xuan to continue living.

One month later

The villa where Pei Xuan lived was surrounded by Yan Yun, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his imperial guards.

Pei Xuan felt nervous when he saw the ferocious looks of those imperial guards.

The people who were sent out before came back and said that the assassination failed.

But when the news reached the capital, His Majesty the Divine Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

Now the Dali Temple has brought people to surround his residence. Could it be that they have found out about him?

The lackeys around him didn't understand the situation and shouted:

"What are you doing? How dare you surround this yard without knowing whose yard it is!"

Yan Yun, a handsome and elegant man, had a cold face. He held up a bright yellow imperial edict and said in a deep voice:

"The traitor Pei Xuan is the mastermind behind the assassination of the crown prince. The Dali Temple is following the divine emperor's decree to arrest him and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"

The servants in the yard immediately became obedient.

When Pei Xuan saw the imperial edict, he was a little scared and could only be escorted to the Heavenly Prison obediently.

However, when he arrived at the prison, he was pushed into a smelly, dirty cell with only a pile of straw.

Pei Xuan, who had been able to maintain his composure on the surface, suddenly exploded.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you let me live in a cell like this!"

"Call your chief officer!"

"I order you to call your chief officer immediately!"

At his clamor, the person who came was Yan Rong, the Minister of Dali Temple.

"It's you..." Pei Xuan stared at him with hostility.

He put his hands behind his back and made a proud gesture:

"Yan Rong, even if you want to be Pei Rong's licking dog, there should be a limit!"

"I am a prince after all. How dare you let me live in a cell like this? Aren't you afraid that something bad will happen to me? My mother will hold you accountable, right?"

Seeing that he was still showing off his power as a prince, Yan Rong couldn't help but feel a bit of pity and ridicule in his eyes.

"Second Master Pei, don't you think about it? Without the approval of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, who would dare to let you live in a cell like this?"

Pei Xuan was stunned.

Then Yan Rong said:

"To tell you the truth, His Majesty the Divine Emperor has already ordered that you and the five nobles who participated in the assassination of the crown prince will be beheaded together at the Meridian Gate in three days."

Beheaded at the Meridian Gate!

Pei Xuan was so frightened that his whole body went limp and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

After a long while, he murmured:

"No! I don't believe it! I am her own son, how could she order me to be killed!"

He originally thought that with so many powerful people joining forces this time, they would definitely be able to successfully kill Pei Rong.

By then, no matter how partial his mother was, he would be the only heir to be chosen, and he would become the crown prince for sure.

Even if the assassination attempt failed and the case was traced back to him, he would at most be locked up...

How could it be a beheading?

"I don't believe it! Pei Rong must want to kill me!"

Having said this, he immediately shouted to the jailer:

"Go and tell His Majesty the Divine Emperor that the prince wants to kill her only brother! Go quickly!"

"I want to see His Majesty the Divine Emperor! I am wronged! I want to see His Majesty the Divine Emperor!"

However, no matter what he shouted, no one paid any attention to him.

Not long after, the main adult male members of the other five powerful families who participated in the assassination of the prince were all arrested and imprisoned in the cells next to Pei Xuan's.

"Second Master Pei, please think of a solution! We are all involved here just to do things for you!"

Some people felt like they had found a life-saving straw when they saw him.

Some people remained silent, obviously resigned to their fate, while others began to cry and said they did not want to die.

This kind of atmosphere made Pei Xuan realize more and more clearly that he would really be executed.

He finally couldn't help but break down and burst into tears:

"Mom! I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Don't kill me! Please let me out!"

"I will obey you in everything from now on! If you want me to be adopted, I will be adopted. I will never dream of becoming the crown prince again!"

"Please, let me see my mother! Let me see His Majesty the Divine Emperor!"

However, no matter how much he begged and cried in pain, no one would see him.

Pei Xuan collapsed and began to curse Rong Niang:

"Pei Rong, you bitch! You killed your own brother for the throne, you will not die well!"

He cursed at me with all kinds of nasty words.

Then, as he was cursing, he was suddenly slapped in the face and flew into the wall.
