As soon as she returned to the palace, before she had time to take a sip of tea, she was called to the main hall. As soon as she entered the door, a teacup broke at her feet.
"You little bitch! You married into our Dingguo Palace to be a spy." Aunt Zhang shouted in a shrill voice, "How dare you frame me like this."
Shang Ruoyi looked at Aunt Zhang in confusion: "Aunt Zhang, what are you talking about?"
"Humph! You know best what to say!"
Shang Ruoyi's eyes were already filled with impatience: "Aunt, there's no need to play dumb. Just speak directly."
"Ruoyi, our He family has never treated you harshly. Why did you do this?" The princess' eyes were red. "Although you are the concubine of the prime minister's mansion, since you married into our palace, no one has ignored you. Why did you put those forged letters in the study?"
Forged letter?
What are they talking about?
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
The old princess frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your father took a stack of letters to the emperor today and reported our Dingguo Palace, saying that our Dingguo Palace was collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, and this letter..." She looked at Shang Ruoyi, her eyes full of scrutiny: "Your father said that you found it in the study."
what?
"How is this possible? I don't even know which way the door of the study in the palace opens, so how can I go to read letters?" Shang Ruoyi looked at the old princess and said in a deep voice: "Besides, I have already married into the Dingguo Palace. What good will it do for me to do these things?"
"What about these letters?"
"It must be that old thing Shangnian!" Shang Ruoyi finally understood why Shangnian would rather hand over all of her mother's dowry and marry her into the Dingguo Palace.
It was just to frame her with a legitimate reason, and then present these pre-prepared letters to her when she returned home.
A complete frame-up plan was completed.
Just at this moment, a eunuch came to the palace with an imperial edict.
"Everyone in Dingguo Palace accepts the order."
Shang Ruoyi's heart sank.
It seems that the person in the palace hates the Dingguo Palace to the core and is eager to get rid of everyone in the Dingguo Palace as soon as possible.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Prince Ding He Yuwen has colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country, causing the tragic deaths of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. His crime is unforgivable. Prince Ding He Yuwen has seized the throne and is now missing. He will be executed upon his return. His family will be exiled three thousand miles away and will not be allowed to set foot in the capital for the rest of their lives. All the property of the Prince Ding's Palace will be deposited into the national treasury. I decree this." The eunuch put away the imperial edict and sneered, "Old Princess, accept the decree!"
The maidservant next to her helped the old lady to stand up, but before she could stand firmly, she fell to the ground.
"Old Princess!" The maids around her were suddenly in chaos.
"Humph! I still have to go back to the palace to report to the emperor. Is there anyone from your Dingguo Palace to receive the imperial edict?"
"Give it to me!" A jade hand stretched out.
Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "Go slowly."
The eunuch looked at her, with a look of sarcasm on his face: "The second young lady of the Shang family has just been married for a few days, and she has suffered such a misfortune. It is really sad!"
When he left the palace, he said to the guards behind him: "Guard the gate of this palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
The door of the palace slammed shut, and the palace was instantly in chaos. The old princess sat on the chair and murmured, "It's over, it's all over. Our Dingguo Palace's century-old foundation is all gone."
The princess held a handkerchief and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Someone just sent a message that Jing Heng was detained as soon as he returned to the military camp this morning. He was not in good condition to begin with, and now I don't know how much torture he has suffered."
Aunt Zhang's family was packing up their gold and silver jewelry, trying their best to hide them on their bodies.
Shang Ruoyi took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly came to the backyard and opened the storeroom filled with her dowry. After a while, the storeroom was empty, without even a leaf left, and all the things were put into the space.
She also visited several warehouses where the palace's valuables were stored.
After she left, the entire palace was emptied.
"Even if these things are thrown away, they must not be given to that dog emperor who cannot distinguish right from wrong." She looked at the space full of treasures and returned to the main hall with satisfaction.
At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed into the palace. The leading captain said in a cold voice: "Come here, take them away! Strip off their fine clothes, put them in prison carts, and send them out of the city immediately!"
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. How impatient was this emperor?
They were all put into prison uniforms, had their hands and feet shackled, and were sent directly to the prison van.
At this time, Shang Ruoyi saw a pool of blood under the front prison car, and fresh blood was dripping down.
Her pupils trembled slightly. It was He Jingheng!
When the princess saw this, she stumbled to the prisoner's carriage and grabbed it with trembling fingers: "Heng'er! Heng'er! Open your eyes and look at your mother! Heng'er!"
At this time, two soldiers stepped forward, rudely grabbed the princess's arm, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and get in the car. There is no time for you to chat here. When you get outside the city and meet up with the exiled prisoners, there will be plenty of time to cry. Hurry up and leave!"
The princess was pushed to her knees, and she stumbled to her feet. She dragged the shackles on her feet and walked to her prison van, looking back every step of the way.
The prison van had to pass through the most prosperous streets in the capital. In the past, the people on these vans were either corrupt officials or criminals who committed murders and arson. When they passed through this street, they were all spit on by the common people, and some even threw stones at them. However, today, when the prison van passed through the street, the people all shed tears, and some even knelt down and kowtowed on the ground.
Shang Ruoyi saw all of this. Although she lamented her miserable fate more than once, being innocently exiled just after traveling through time, she gritted her teeth and thought that she had to save these people when she saw that the people in Dingguo Palace, who were so loved by the people, were treated so unfairly just because of the emperor's suspicion and their great achievements.
He Jingheng's leg was already injured. Although she had not seen the injury, she could smell the ointment he had used on his leg before. It was indeed used for broken bones and tendons, but the current leg injury might be a bit tricky.
Aunt Zhang was still chattering in the prison car: "Shang Ruoyi, you jinx! It's all your fault! It must be that your horoscope is in conflict with the Dingguo Palace, otherwise why was everything fine before you married in, but as soon as you married in, such a big thing happened in our Dingguo Palace?"
Shang Ruoyi didn't want to pay attention to her, but she was too ignorant and said loudly: "You little bitch, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
"Okay, stop talking!" The old lady looked at Shang Ruoyi and said in a deep voice, "Ruoyi, now that Jing Heng has divorced you, you can be free again and will not be burdened by our Dingguo Palace. Are you willing?"
Aunt Zhang's face changed instantly when she heard this: "Madam, how can you let her leave like this? We were all harmed by her!"
