The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

During this time, guards kept presenting new evidence, and finally he was tied up and collapsed on the ground.

He knew that this time, it was the end for him.

He was almost there. As long as he walked one mile out of the city and met the contact person, he would be able to retreat successfully. He just needed one last step.

Looking at the gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground and hidden in the potatoes, the Crown Princess burst into tears:

"Dad, why, why are you doing this? You are now almost second to none, and you are also the father-in-law of the crown prince. You have a bright future ahead of you. Is it worth it for you to do this? For a position, you even give up your wife and daughter?"

He actually wanted to leave alone like this?

The Crown Princess felt like she was dreaming and couldn't accept it at all.

This time, it was Beitang Yi who answered her. His expression was also extremely ugly:

"You never thought of staying in Chiyan from the beginning. Everything here is within your calculations and utilization. You never thought that one day it would tie you down, right?"

"You don't have a son. Maybe it's not that you can't, but that you don't want one. Or maybe you already have a son in your original country. If I remember correctly, you have represented Chiyan Country as an envoy to many countries, including Jinyue Country."

"You have no ties in Chiyan because you don't have a son. All your daughters are your victims. Without a son, you can even gain more trust from the emperor and be entrusted with important tasks. After all, who would think that a prime minister without a successor would commit suicide?"

"You have truly sacrificed everything for your country, even your loved ones."

"Is it true that I wanted to marry the Crown Princess back then? Or maybe you arranged everything on purpose. With your daughter in the General's Mansion or the Crown Prince's Mansion, you can get countless inside information, and even get it from people around you."

"As for the war in the north, you were the one who informed my mother and brother. You deliberately sent them to the battlefield, hoping that our Zhenbei General Mansion would be completely annihilated in that war."

"They really didn't come back just as you wished. The Beitang clan has more than 150 people and tens of thousands of soldiers back then... Unfortunately, you never expected that I, who only had one breath left, would miraculously survive and become a favorite of the emperor. You were afraid that I would discover the truth and wanted to contain me, so you let the Crown Princess remarry. You were also afraid that I would really rise up and become a big threat to you, so you wanted to force another daughter on me. What you wanted to do was nothing more than to make your daughter a powerful general in the court and someone close to the crown prince, so that you could use her in the future and get more information about the court."

"You were able to hold the position of Prime Minister without anyone noticing until just now. This shows that you are very familiar with everything about Chiyan. This has been planned for a long time. This only proves one thing, that you are very young or have always lived in Chiyan."

When Beitang Yi said this, the whole audience was stunned again.

Mu Lianzhi felt sorry for Beitang Yi, so she quietly approached him and held one of his fingers, trying to give him some comfort. She could feel that he was in pain and his body was stiff.

He survived the destruction of Beitang Mansion and the tragic death of his family members. He must have felt very uncomfortable, guilty, and even blamed himself.

After a moment, the prince's desperate voice sounded:

"So, Xing'er's death is related to you, right? I was wondering why she suddenly took the wrong medicine and suddenly didn't want to live. You told her that her survival would affect my future and even the future of our child, right?"

"In fact, I don't care at all. She doesn't know that I just want to be with her and our family of three. I never want to remarry, I don't want another woman, and I don't want to marry again."

"But I betrayed her again and again."

"So God is punishing her by not letting her live again? Xing'er..."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. They are your daughters after all, but you don't even care about their lives."

"I am such a fool. I thought I had everything under control. It turns out I am just a pawn being used. Even everything I know may be false and wrong."

"But I was planning, preparing, and hoping on this wrong path."

He just wanted to live a good life, to be together with his beloved woman and son, their family of three. Sitting half paralyzed, the prince's eyes were wet, but they were silent tears flowing, like a desperate man who had lost his life and no longer cared about life or death.

Hearing this, the Queen and the Crown Princess opened their mouths in shock, and then silently shed tears.

Yu Xing is the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion and the prince's original wife, the crown princess.

She didn't expect the truth to be like this. Looking at Beitang Yi and Mu Lianzhi holding hands with their sleeves from the corner of her eye, Yu Hua's mind suddenly emerged with the scene of him returning from outside and riding a horse galloping towards her, and her tears flowed even more violently.

This should have been the beauty and happiness that belonged to her, but she pushed it away again and again.

Soon, a young eunuch brought up a woman who looked very much like Yu Xing, saying that she was the prince's mistress. Also found during the search was the body of Crown Princess Yu Xing, which had never been buried and was frozen.

The prince wanted Mu Dongzhu not for treasure or treason, or that was only a secondary reason. The most important thing was that he wanted his first wife to be resurrected...

Unfortunately, he made one mistake after another. In order to maintain his position, he was also preparing for treason, which the emperor would not allow.

Everyone was taken away, the prime minister's residence was raided, he was imprisoned and executed after interrogation, the crown prince was deposed, and his family was banished to a bitter and cold fiefdom in the west. They were not allowed to enter the capital for the rest of their lives. In fact, they were left to fend for themselves.

Afterwards, all relevant personnel started the investigation mode again. The first one to be identified and punished was the Fuguo Mansion, because the Fuguo Mansion was not only involved with the prince, but also had private transactions with the prime minister.

Upon investigation, it was found that many lives were lost in the Fuguo Mansion, and it was suspected of treason and seeking personal gain. In addition, Bao Yanqing's past evil deeds were exposed, which made the situation worse. In the end, the adult men were sentenced to execution, the minors and collateral relatives who were not directly involved were exiled to the frontier, and the female relatives served as military prostitutes.

Ling Feier and Hua Shuolei were both on the list and were the first to be affected.

When Mu Lianzhi heard the news, it was three days after the incident. She was busy packing up and moving. A murder occurred in the mansion of Marquis Pingyong, and people from the Beijing government office came to the door. Because she had met Mr. Bao before, the person who led the team that day knew her. She has also been famous recently. When her subordinates inquired about it, the head of the yamen runners came directly to report to him.

When she heard that a murder had occurred in the mansion of Pingyong Marquis, she realized that Ling Yuchi had also been sentenced to execution. The mansion of the Marquis might have heard the news and fled early for fear of being exiled as well. Then a series of robberies and trampling incidents occurred.

I heard that Sang Xi was poisoned to death, at least three days ago. The old lady was starving to the point of skin and bones, with half of her body rotten. Now she dared not move, and she was only breathing her last. The servants robbed the money and valuables and ran away.
