She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Shangguan Ziqi personally went to "welcome" his third uncle, the traitorous third master of the Prince Rong's Mansion.

As for the diplomatic envoys, the Ministry of Rites sent a fifth-rank official to pick them up and arrange for them to stay in the embassy.

I didn’t expect that the team leader was an old acquaintance.

Zhu Mingchen, the Prince of Beiming, who had been on a diplomatic mission to Southern Shu.

But this time he came with his tail between his legs, no longer as proud and complacent as when he first met him in Nanshu.

In addition to several officials, there were also two women and a young man.

The two women were the current emperor's eldest princess Zhu Jingwen, who was fifteen years old, and the daughter of the deceased prince Zhu Jingqi, who was sixteen years old. The boy was the current emperor's eldest prince Zhu Xuyang, who was only twelve years old.

However, on the surface, Zhu Jingqi's identity was not registered in this way, but was registered as the daughter of the current Emperor Canglan.

Shangguan Ziqi looked at Shangguan Hongzhe in the prison car.

His limbs were tightly bound with thick iron chains, each link deeply embedded in his flesh, as if to lock up his soul as well.

His face no longer has the elegance and grace of the past.

His unshaven beard, like overgrown weeds, obscured his once handsome features.

The eyes that once sparkled with wisdom were now filled with fatigue and despair, as if all the light had been extinguished, leaving only endless darkness and emptiness.

His clothes were tattered, covered with stains and blood, giving him the appearance of a prisoner.

There were complex emotions intertwined in Shangguan Ziqi's eyes, including pain, anger, hatred, and an indescribable sadness.

When he was a child, his third uncle was his idol.

He has a gentle personality, studies hard, and is thoughtful in his work. He is many times better than his second uncle.

He would never have dreamed that he and his mother were spies from the enemy country.

She controlled her mother so that she couldn't have children, and replaced her second brother with her father's, causing him to fall into a coma.

Chunlei entered the mansion disguised as a miracle doctor, was assassinated, and almost died.

On the night his wife gave birth, his family and Princess Jing almost died at his hands.

He also arranged Sister Ru's miserable life.

How could Shangguan Ziqi not hate all of this?

If it weren't for his wife, one can imagine what the fate of their family would have been.

Shangguan Ziqi blinked hard several times to control his tears.

"Shangguan Hongzhe." Shangguan Ziqi really couldn't call him Third Uncle, so he just called him by his name.

Shangguan Hongzhe slowly raised his head when he heard his voice.

But there was no emotion in his eyes, only dead silence.

He had no hope left, and he knew that he was doomed.

The final result was that he was sent back to Wei to relieve the hatred of Prince Rong's mansion.

He was controlled and couldn't even commit suicide.

At this moment, a little girl in plain clothes with tears streaming down her face rushed over, threw herself in front of the prison van, and grabbed the iron bars tightly.

"Dad." It was Shangguan Hongzhe's youngest daughter Shangguan Yan.

She was already sixteen years old, but she didn't have the innocence that her age should have.

Not long after her father left, she was arrested by officials and imprisoned.

Then her mother died by hitting her head against the wall in prison.

Later, she and her brother were released to deal with their mother's funeral, and then her brother left her and went to the border.

But within a few months, news came that his brother had died in battle.

From then on, she had no relatives in this world, and she lived alone in the yard where they later moved to.

The servants also changed their ways and refused to obey discipline.

She didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, her surname was Shangguan, and her clan took care of her, so she was not bullied by outsiders.

She had no choice but to live her life behind closed doors.

Only when she heard that the Canglan envoy had come to the capital and brought her father back did she muster up the courage to come and see him.

She wanted to ask her father why he abandoned her and her son.

"Dad... wuwu, why did you abandon us, why?"

When Shangguan Yan saw her father locked in the prison van, instead of showing concern for him, she asked him why he abandoned them.

It can be seen that in order to act as a spy well, Shangguan Hongzhe did not care much about his children, which led to his youngest daughter having shallow feelings for him and even hating him.

Shangguan Hongzhe then looked up at his daughter.

This is his child, but now he is no longer worthy of being her father.

Then let the child give up his thoughts and just pretend that he doesn’t have a father from now on.

He is worthy of his mother, but not of his wife and children.

All his dreams were shattered when the iron box was opened.

"I..., I am not your father." Shangguan Hongzhe said these words indifferently, but they were the most ruthless words.

"You are not my father?" Shangguan Yan was stunned when she heard these words and forgot to cry.

His eyes were fixed on the people in the prison van.

No matter how he changes, this is still the dad in my memory.

Shangguan Hongzhe looked away and didn't look at the little girl in front of the car.

That look of indifference and ruthlessness was as if he was facing a stranger.

Shangguan Yan suddenly stood up straight and took two steps back from the prison van.

"Yes, you are not my father, you are the sinner of the Great Wei.

Because of you, Brother Zishu died in battle.

Because of you, second brother Ziling went to the battlefield and died in battle.

Mother was so grief-stricken by the death of her elder brother Zishu that she also hit her head and died in the cell.

Now I am all alone, without father, mother or brother.

You are a sinner, you deserve to die, you have harmed your entire family."

Shangguan Yan complained loudly, not caring about the tears streaming down her face.

After saying this, she didn't even look at Shangguan Hongzhe again, and ran away in a hurry, crying as she ran, and the maids who followed her couldn't catch up with her.

Shangguan Hongzhe was finally moved when he heard that his two sons and his wife had died.

The pain on his face was hard to conceal.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

After Shangguan Yan ran away, Shangguan Ziqi saw that his eyes were wet, but there was no sympathy at all.

"Shangguan Hongzhe, your grandfather was very pleased with you back then, but now that he's in heaven, seeing your current fate, he must be very disappointed.

You have the blood of the Shangguan family but you do things worse than pigs and dogs.

You are no longer worthy of the surname Shangguan.

I almost forgot, your last name is no longer Shangguan, you have changed it to Zhu, but it's a pity that the Zhu royal family does not protect you."

Shangguan Ziqi scolded sarcastically.

But it did not cause any change in Shangguan Hongzhe's emotions.

He had long been numb.

Anyway, it is death.

"Take him to the prison."

Seeing that he was as fearless as a dead pig, Shangguan Ziqi no longer felt like saying anything.

Several guards escorted the prison cart into the city.

Shangguan Ziqi took the coffin back to the palace.

They stopped in the yard outside the main hall in the front yard. The prince was already waiting there.

Several elders of the clan also came, uninvited.

"Father, Aunt Wang has been brought back." Shangguan Ziqi bowed to the prince expressionlessly.

The prince walked forward and looked at the coffin, his eyes slightly narrowed, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After a few breaths, he slapped the coffin with his palm.

The lid was pushed to the ground.

A cold air suddenly spread out.

A few people gathered around the coffin and looked inside. It was indeed the old concubine Wang who had lived in the palace for decades.

"An Yi, get it out." The prince ordered coldly.

"Yes."

An Yi reached out and pulled the corpse out of the coffin and threw it on the ground.

"Butler Li, please follow the family rules." The prince ordered again in a cold voice.

Butler Li immediately went to the inner hall and brought out a whip that was ten feet long.

The whole body is glowing with cold light, and there are thin inverted hooks.

This was designed to punish those who committed serious mistakes in Prince Rong's Mansion, but it has never been used in all these years.

Because over the years, no child of Prince Rong's Mansion has committed a serious mistake that requires the use of this whip.

But today, the prince took out this whip.

The prince took it from the butler Li, walked into the main hall, lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, and knelt in front of the ancestor.

"Grandfather, please accept my grandson Shangguan Hongyi's greetings.

I have to tell you today that there is a blind young man in the Shangguan family who invited a wolf into the house, causing tens of thousands of Wei men to die on the battlefield and almost destroying the Wei Dynasty.

Today, I, Shangguan Hongyi, will teach my grandfather's son."

After hearing this, several elders were stunned.

The prince wants to teach the old prince a lesson?
