The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 116: Falcon is escorted back to Beijing

Several people set out on the journey back to Beijing in a mighty procession.

Unlike the relaxed and comfortable time when we came here, this time everyone was traveling much faster.

Because Anna and Cai Lian were added, the emperor bought another carriage and let Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi and Cai Lian ride in one.

Out of sight out of mind.

Let’s not talk about the suffering Ziwei endured along the way, but for the sake of the team’s progress, every time the emperor asked her to stay, she would endure the pain and refuse, which makes people sigh at her perseverance.

The situation in the capital was even more lively. Falcon was escorted back to the capital a few days in advance, and all the death row prisoners had to return on foot.

When Falcon walked back, he was so thin that he was unrecognizable, with wounds all over his body and his clothes were tattered. If he had not been in shackles and escorted by the jailer, he would probably have been mistaken for a beggar.

The people in the capital who were watching the excitement didn't even recognize that this disheveled man who looked like a homeless person was actually Fu Erkang, the eldest son of the Fu family.

It was the jailer who was kind enough to introduce him to the people.

The people were shocked. No one expected that Mr. Fu, who was once highly regarded by the emperor, would be beheaded.

For a time, everyone in Beijing was discussing this matter heatedly, and everyone was curious about what crime Falcon had committed.

The main reason was the assassination that Falcon directed and acted out himself. The scale was too small and the emperor dealt with it too quickly, so no news of it got out at all.

The Fulan family was naturally reminded by kind-hearted people, and only then did they know that their eldest son was going to be beheaded.

Upon hearing the news, Fulun tightly grasped the doorman who came to report the news and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Seeing the usually elegant master become as terrifying as a madman, the little gate boy was so scared that he trembled and explained: "Just now, a group of people came to the gate of the mansion to report that Master Fu was going to be beheaded. He was just escorted back to the capital."

"Impossible, impossible!"

Fulun shouted "Impossible" and rushed to the door, but he couldn't hold on any longer and vomited a mouthful of blood as soon as he reached the door.

Fu Jin heard the news as soon as she went out. Seeing the blood on Fu Lun's clothes, she was so frightened that she fainted immediately.

The Fu Mansion fell into chaos. Fu Lun could not even stand, but still kept shouting that people must not call for a doctor.

Some curious people went to the street to verify and found out that it was indeed Falcon.

Falcon hadn't given up yet. Seeing his servant coming out, he hurriedly shouted, "Go back and tell my father to find a way to save me."

Upon seeing this, the servant turned around and ran to inform his master.

"Master! It's really the eldest young master!"

When Fulun heard this, he was completely desperate.

Fortunately, after Fulun vomited blood out of anger last time, their family hired a doctor to take care of her, who quickly woke her up with two injections.

The first thing Fu Jin did when she opened her eyes was to ask what was going on.

"What happened? I don't know! The emperor hasn't come back yet, and we don't know what happened on the way."

Fu Lun was a little crazy, and his hair turned a lot whiter due to worrying about it.

Fu Jin sobbed, "My son."

Fu Lun interrupted impatiently, "Alright, what's the point of crying? I'll go to the prison tonight to see Erkang and ask him what's going on."

"Then I will go to the palace later to ask Empress Lingfei for help. When the emperor comes back, Empress Lingfei can also help plead for mercy." Fu Jin forced herself to cheer up and prepared to dress up and hand over the visiting card.

Looking at the obviously haggard Concubine Fulun couldn't bear it any more and held her down: "Forget it, one day is not a big deal. I will find out what happened tonight. You can go see Concubine Ling tomorrow."

"Oh." Fu Jin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the tears were like beads with broken strings, and could not be wiped away no matter what she did.

"Okay, don't worry. Even if I have to sacrifice my life and give up all my money and official positions, I will still save our son's life."

After hearing what Fulun said, Fu Jin cried even harder. What was going on?

At night, Fulun took advantage of the cover of darkness and rushed to the prison.

After Fulun spent a lot of money, he finally got to see Falcon.

Seeing his father coming to see him, Falcon suddenly felt hopeful.

"Ama, Ama, I can't die, please save me."

No matter how hard it was to sleep in the open air along the way, the jailers were really good at torturing people.

If you walk slowly, you will be beaten; if you don't obey, you will be beaten; if they dislike you, they will be beaten. Anyway, they are all unforgivable death row prisoners, and the jailers treat them as they please.

Falcon also became more and more frustrated during the beatings he received. At first he resisted, but his resistance was met with even more severe beatings, and gradually he became afraid of the beatings.

Sometimes he wished he could just die, but he held on to the hope that his father would save him after returning to the capital, or that the emperor would have mercy on him, so he insisted on returning to the capital.

Seeing Falcon so miserable, Foren burst into tears.

But now is not the time to cry. Fulun has limited time, so he hurriedly asked Fulkang what mistake he had made.

Falcon lowered his head and murmured, "We were so eager to make a contribution that we staged an assassination ourselves."

"What?" Fulan screamed in shock.

"No, Father, originally this plan was flawless. It's all because of that villain Ertai, who informed the Emperor in advance, and we were caught red-handed! Otherwise, I might have been a royal guard again by now! It's all Ertai's fault. He must be jealous of me and wants our Fu family to be doomed!"

"Ertai?" Fu Lun didn't expect that this matter actually caused a problem within his Fu family, and he was furious.

"How can Ertai be so ignorant? Can he mess around with such a big thing?"

"Father, and Jingyan and Yongheng, they've always disliked me and found fault with me. That's why I was severely punished. Otherwise, why did Yongqi not do anything wrong, but my son had to take the blame? I don't know what they said to the emperor!"

The more Fulun listened, the angrier he became. He knew that his son had always been sensible and how could he have made such a big mistake and been beheaded? It turned out that he was wrongly accused.

But Fulun still had a trace of rationality left: "Are you sure you are telling me the truth?"

Falcon said sincerely, "Really, everything my son said is true. Ertai publicly admitted that he was the informer, and what my son did was just a show with a bunch of people. No one was hurt."

Fulun nodded and made up his mind.

He comforted Erkang: "Don't worry, if that's the case, then the emperor has sent someone to escort you back to the capital. This is already a punishment. The emperor will be back soon. When the time comes, my father will unite with the ministers in the court to plead for you. Don't be afraid, you will be released soon."

"Ama, woo woo woo, your son knows that Ama is his strongest supporter."

"Good boy." Fulun touched Erkang's head and comforted him softly.

"Father, when Ertai comes back, you must punish him severely and repay him for all the suffering he has endured for his son!"

"It's natural. He's unfaithful and unfilial. It's because Ama didn't teach him well. Ama will teach him well. When you get out, I'll make him apologize to you."

Now Falcon was relieved. As for Jingyan and Yongheng, he would take revenge personally.
