I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Crown Princess Fang Haoqing sat next to Crown Prince Xiao Jingye, watching her husband's fists bulging with veins from anger caused by Prince Yi Xiao Jingyu. She reached out and gently grasped them, then patted them lightly. "Ah Ye, not just anyone can covet Yue'er!"

No matter how shameless or greedy Prince Yi is, he will never succeed.

Ah Ye, there's no need to get angry or upset over such a shameless scoundrel!

"You're right, sister-in-law!"

It's not worth getting angry at such a shameless scoundrel!

Since he dares to dream things he shouldn't, let's make him wake up from those dreams as soon as possible!

Xiao Jingyu first calmed his anger and then tried to persuade his elder brother.

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye let out a long breath and slowly nodded.

"Brother, many things have happened in the capital these past few days!"

Xiao Jingyu gave a cold smile.

"What else?"

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye asked.

"Your Majesty is unaware that Zhang Jinyan's Second Grand Secretary's office is completely finished!"

Zhang Jinyan's direct line includes Zhang Jinyan and his wife, as well as Zhang Jinyan's eldest daughter, Zhang Miaoying, who was the former Princess Yi.

Zhang Jinyan's second daughter, Zhang Miaotong, was also dead.

Their deaths were orchestrated by Xiao Jingyi's men to silence them!

The deaths of Zhang Jinyan's family... are said to have been extremely horrific and tragic, too gruesome to bear!

Xiao Jingyu recounts how Zhang Jinyan attempted to obstruct the second imperial decree of marriage in the Golden Hall;

How he was directly thrown into the imperial prison by his own father, the emperor;

How did Zhang Miaotong, the second eldest daughter of the stern and virtuous ruler, so arrogantly barge into the gates of the Duke of Anguo's mansion to challenge them...?

As a result, Leng Rongyue used this opportunity to turn the area in front of the Duke of Anguo's mansion into a temporary courtroom of the Shuntian Prefecture, filing one lawsuit after another!

Ultimately, not only Zhang Miaotong, who went to provoke and challenge them, was convicted, but also the Second Assistant Minister's wife, Lady Wang, who followed her, and Zhang Miaoying, who was then the Princess Consort of Prince Yi, were all implicated and thrown into the Shuntian Prefecture prison. This was told to Crown Prince Xiao Jingye.

"Our good cousin was also at the scene, but when he saw that his queen, his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law were all convicted, he was afraid of being implicated, so he hid in the carriage and refused to come out."

Later, he completely ignored his wife, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law with whom he had an ambiguous and unclear relationship, and left without even showing his face!

What he did next was utterly despicable and disgusting!

He threw a letter of divorce at his wife, severing their years-long marriage.

On the one hand, he wrote a memorial to the emperor to express his loyalty and wanted to sever all ties with Zhang Jinyan's family!

At the same time, he was worried that Zhang Jinyan, his former father-in-law and accomplice, would be furious and seek revenge after learning that he had divorced Zhang Miaoying. He would do anything to expose Zhang Miaoying's true colors of colluding with the enemy and plotting rebellion. So he ordered his men to kill him at the same time in the imperial prison and the Shuntian Prefecture prison.

The final result was that Zhang Jinyan and his entire family were murdered; their deaths were extremely gruesome and shocking!

"Xiao Jingyi is ruthless!"

That's shameless!

snort!

His previous filial piety and benevolence were all an act; this is Xiao Jingyi's true face now!

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye gave a disdainful sneer.

"Now that Zhang Jinyan's family is gone, the property of another of his cronies, Vice Minister Jiang Ciche, has also been cleared out by you and Rongyue."

You and Rongyue also visited his own Prince Yi's Mansion!

Xiao Jingyi is probably going crazy right now!

Xiao Jingyu smiled, shook his head, and said after hearing what Crown Prince Xiao Jingye said, "He won't go crazy for the time being."

He will rest very quietly for a while!

"What do you mean?"

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye looked at his younger brother's handsome face, which held a cryptic smile, and was somewhat puzzled.

"I just told you, Your Majesty, that Yue'er and I not only went to Jiang Ciche's mansion to clear out his valuables, but also went to Prince Yi's mansion to take away most of his valuables. However, I haven't had time to tell you anything else yet—something very interesting!"

"Something interesting?"

What is it?

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye pressed for an answer, puzzled.

"Father Emperor predicted that Xiao Jingyi would kill Zhang Jinyan's family. So, after he actually did kill them, Father Emperor issued an edict ordering Xiao Jingyi to collect the bodies of his former princess and his former father-in-law's family and handle their funeral arrangements."

As for how to handle the aftermath?

The Emperor didn't say what scale or form the meal should be prepared.

Was the Zhang Jinyan family treated as in-laws and their funeral arrangements handled accordingly?

They treated him as a criminal and hastily disposed of his body... The Emperor didn't say anything.

The Emperor only ordered him to collect the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family and handle their funeral arrangements!

Crown Prince Xiao Jingye sighed and shook his head helplessly, "It seems that Father Emperor was also heartbroken and angered by him!"

So how did he do it?

"How did he do it?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at his elder brother, a smile slowly creeping onto his lips. "He knew perfectly well that whatever he did would be inappropriate and wrong, so he very 'cleverly' made himself fall into a coma!"

"Unconscious?"

Was he trying to use the guise of being 'unconscious'... to escape the task of collecting the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family, and at the same time, to absolve himself of the crime of disobeying imperial orders?
