Duke Weiguo was shocked to learn that his son and daughter-in-law were deliberately murdered by Gu Zhan. He put on armor that day, knelt at the gate of the palace and cried, begging the emperor to severely punish Gu's father and son and to avenge his son and daughter-in-law.

Seeing the white-haired old man so sad, passers-by couldn't help but have tears in their eyes!

When the prince found out, he immediately went to see the emperor.

This matter has a huge impact. If it is not handled properly, it will dishearten people all over the world.

The emperor was sick in bed and had people carry him to the gate of the palace, where he personally helped the old duke up.

"Please rest assured, old Duke. Gu Zhan and his son are plotting to kill my own sister, and I will never let them off easily!" The emperor seemed really angry this time!

Five days later, the emperor issued an edict that the father and son of the Gu family were corrupt, perverted the law, and took human lives lightly. They hired assassins to murder court officials and the princess. Their crimes were unforgivable! All nine clans were implicated.

Gu Zhan and his son Gu Qingshan were guilty of heinous crimes and were sentenced to death by slow slicing. All men in the five clans were killed, and the rest were exiled to the frontier to perform hard labor. All women were sent to military camps to serve as military prostitutes, never to be allowed to return to Beijing.

As for Concubine Gu, she did not supervise her father and brother, but considering that she gave birth to two sons for the royal family, she was spared the death penalty and demoted to a concubine as a punishment.

Upon hearing the emperor's verdict, Concubine Gu fainted on the spot, and the court was shocked, causing an uproar across the country.

This was the most severe punishment the emperor had ever handed down since the founding of the Longyuan Kingdom. The King of Rui was convicted of treason, and his entire clan was implicated.

But think about it, the nature of the incident is different. After all, Prince Rui is the emperor's son. Although he tried to force the emperor to abdicate and seize the throne, he did not succeed. Moreover, it was a trap set by the emperor, and no casualties were caused.

The father and son of the Gu family committed many crimes, especially murdering the general who was defending the enemy on the battlefield and killing the eldest princess, disregarding the safety of the country. If it weren't for the old duke who came to rescue despite his illness, the Longyuan Kingdom might have been destroyed. The emperor was merciful by not killing all the nine clans.

Moreover, after investigation, it was found that few of the five members of the Gu family were wrongly accused, which made the emperor determined to eradicate the root of the problem and serve as a deterrent.

The next day, the men of the Gu family were taken to the execution ground. Gu Zhan and Gu Qingshan's prison van was at the front, slowly driving through Jinlong Street.

Wherever the prison van went, the people rushed up, cursing the Gu family as traitors and heartless people. They angrily spat at the prison van and threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, stones, etc.

Gu Zhan and Gu Qingshan were taken to the execution platform and tied to the execution rack. The other male members of the Gu family who were to be executed were lined up and knelt in front of them, and opposite them, all the people of the Gu family who were about to be exiled to the frontier knelt, including men, women, young and old.

They were all tattooed with a big word "crime" on their faces.

The prince brought these people here because he wanted them to witness the execution of the Gu family with their own eyes. After the execution, the men would be escorted to a bitter and cold place, and the women would be sent to the border military camp.

There was a huge crowd of people watching below the execution platform, shouting angry curses, all coming to witness that the Gu family had finally gotten their retribution.

Before the execution, Chu Feiyan personally came to verify the identities of Gu's family members to prevent them from being secretly replaced.

After all, the Gu family has complex and pervasive connections in the court, and she doesn't want any problems to arise in the end.

Every time she approached a person, a soldier would pull up the prisoner's hair so that she could identify the prisoner's face.

She didn't recognize many members of the Gu family, but with Crow around, she wasn't afraid of anyone being replaced.

Chu Feiyan finally stood in front of Gu Zhan and said, "Gu Zhan, you don't have any skills, but you are jealous that your grandfather is better at martial arts than you, and my father is better than your son.

Back then, my father and Gu Qingshan asked the late emperor to marry the princess. My mother was a legitimate princess and a heroine, so how could she fall for a loser like Gu Qingshan?

Therefore, your Gu family hated my parents and planned to kill them. Now the cycle of fate has come. You didn't expect that you would end up like this, right?"

Gu Zhan slowly raised his head, his cloudy eyes flashing with a sinister light, "Little bitch, my prince only regrets that he didn't get rid of you in the first place!"

"Haha..." Chu Feiyan sneered, "You want to get rid of me, but you can't do it at all. None of the rubbish you and your son sent out can escape from this princess! Now I'm still alive and well, but you and your family must go to hell to apologize for my parents!"

Gu Zhan was quite tough, but Gu Qingshan was not as courageous as him. He was frightened and had lost control of his bowels and urine.

He fainted twice on the way from the death row to the execution ground, but was awakened each time by the bailiffs who poured cold water on him.

"Chu Feiyan, I know I was wrong, please spare my life! As long as you let me live, I will do anything you ask me to do..."

“Gu Qingshan, shut up!” Gu Zhan yelled angrily.

"The time is almost up." Today's executioner is Prime Minister Hong, who came over and said, "Princess Min'an, the execution will begin soon. Please sit aside for now."

“No! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…” Gu Qingshan yelled.

"The Gu family is nothing special." Chu Feiyan raised a scornful smile and turned away.

"dong dong dong dong..."

A burst of drum beats sounded, like a death drum falling on the hearts of these prisoners, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

The executioners raised the swords in their hands, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.

"Execution!"

As Prime Minister Hong threw the beheading token in his hand, the executioner swung his knife without hesitation and chopped off the prisoners' heads one by one.

Chu Feiyan stood on the steps of the execution platform, hearing the screams and cries behind him, but he did not feel happy at all.

Although her revenge was achieved, her loving parents would never come back.

After the male members of the Gu family were executed, the executioner began to execute the Gu family father and son by slicing.

In a corner behind the crowd, a woman wearing a veil stood there, watching all the Gu family members being dragged into the execution ground. Then, she watched their heads fall one by one. Her face became hideous and terrifying, "Chu Feiyan! We will never stop until one of us dies!"

Chu Feiyan seemed to sense something and looked towards her.

Long Shiyu's heart trembled. She was at least two hundred meters away from the execution platform, but she could still feel Chu Feiyan's sharp eyes, like a sharp blade piercing through the black gauze of the veil and seeing her face clearly.

She thought it must be an illusion! The execution ground was crowded and noisy, and Chu Feiyan couldn't have found her, and she was wearing a veil.

In fact, Chu Feiyan could see her because Crow told her, "Little girl, I seem to hear that woman scolding you."

"Shut up!" Chu Feiyan walked down the stairs and walked out along the wall. She saw a carriage parked nearby and Ji Song standing next to it.

"Princess, you're here! Get in the car!" Ji Song helped her lift the curtain.

"Yeah." Chu Feiyan got on the carriage and saw Gong Beixuan sitting inside in a white robe. "Why are you here too?"
