After giving birth to twins, the princess became pregnant again, and the royal uncle took care of he

In a short while, the four men worked together to carry over an enormous wooden bucket filled with foul-smelling excrement.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Changping's face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled involuntarily.

He was so terrified that he begged for mercy repeatedly:

"My lord, please have mercy and spare me! I promise I will never dare to disobey you again."

"There will never be a next time. I hope my lord will be magnanimous..."

However, no matter how much Emperor Changping pleaded, the man in black remained unmoved.

Without even turning his head, he resolutely turned and left, disappearing without a trace in no time.

Seeing that its master had already left, a ruthless glint flashed in Hei Sha's eyes.

He took out a cow horn-shaped object with two transparent ends from his bosom, walked quickly to Emperor Changping, and stuffed it into Emperor Changping's mouth without saying a word.

This ox horn was exceptionally hard; no matter how hard Emperor Changping clenched his teeth, trying to break it, it was all in vain.

Then, Hei Sha gave a wink to the three guards beside him, signaling them to make their move.

So one of the guards took a long-handled wooden ladle and scooped up a full ladle of excrement.

Without any mercy, it was poured into Emperor Changping's mouth.

Another guard held Changping Emperor's head firmly to prevent him from struggling to escape.

The last guard was responsible for restraining Emperor Changping's hands and feet to prevent him from taking any rash actions.

And so, spoonful after spoonful of excrement was poured into Emperor Changping's mouth.

Before long, half a bucket of excrement had been poured into Emperor Changping's belly.

Looking at Emperor Changping now, his belly was swollen like a ripe watermelon, round and almost bursting.

Upon seeing this, the guards standing to the side exchanged glances and then stretched out their hands.

They began to press hard on Emperor Changping's bulging abdomen.

As the guards increased the pressure, Emperor Changping's face showed an expression of extreme pain.

A series of pitiful howls emanated from deep within its throat.

Due to the extreme pressure, the disgusting filth began to gush out of his mouth, nose and genitals uncontrollably!

Like a flood bursting its banks, it flowed endlessly, emitting an unbearable stench.

The ruthless guards, their faces grim, carefully collected the filth that had leaked out into wooden buckets.

Without hesitation, he lifted the wooden bucket again and forced the filthy liquid inside into Emperor Changping's mouth.

The poor Emperor Changping didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was consumed by this endless torment.

At this moment, Emperor Changping was filled with resentment and anger towards Jun Jiuxiao.

He knew all too well that his current miserable state was all thanks to Bai Jun Jiuxiao.

If he hadn't had a feud with Jun Jiuxiao, how could he have ended up in such a state?

However, no matter how resentful he was, reality was extremely cruel, and he was completely powerless to change the situation before him.

Time flies, and it was already the next morning.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing the courtyard of the Zhennan General's Mansion in warmth and brightness.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

A chief eunuch was seen carrying a bright yellow imperial edict and hurrying toward the general's mansion.

Upon receiving the news, Chu Huaizhong dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly led everyone in his household to welcome the imperial decree.

Everyone held their breath, the atmosphere tense and solemn.

The eunuch held up the bright yellow imperial edict with both hands, his face calm and solemn.

He first carefully unfurled the imperial edict, then began to read it aloud in a deep and solemn tone:

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Recently, the Southern Chu Kingdom has repeatedly caused trouble without cause and wantonly invaded the borders of our dynasty."

"This has caused the people on the frontiers to suffer from the ravages of war and make a living in hardship. I absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior!"

"General Chu Huaizhong, the General Who Guards the South, is hereby ordered to lead his troops south on the first day of the third month, along with his eldest son, General Chu Xingchi, to severely punish the Southern Chu and ensure peace on the border."

"Furthermore, considering that the marriage arrangements for the Zhennan General's Mansion have already been finalized, the Imperial Observatory will select an auspicious day."

"The eldest son, Chu Xingchi, married Su Huaiyu on February 18th; the second son, Chu Xingyi, married Mu Xiaoxiao on the same day."

"The Princess of Ding'an married King Jun Jiuxiao on the 28th day of the second month."

"I know that General Chu Huaizhong intends to move his residence. Considering his merits and loyalty, I hereby bestow upon the Prince of Jin's residence as the new residence."

"I hope the general will have no worries about the rear, and wholeheartedly serve the country and defend the homeland!"

After reading the last sentence, "So be it," the eunuch respectfully closed the imperial edict and handed it to the relevant person.

Everyone present knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the Emperor!" The atmosphere was solemn and respectful.

Chu Huaizhong's face was solemn. He knelt on both knees and respectfully extended his hands, preparing to receive the imperial edict.

Standing to the side, Chu Xingyao looked exceptionally frail today.

It turns out that the fifteenth of every month is a day of unbearable pain for Chu Xingyao.

At this time, her body would become extremely weak, which was heartbreaking.

However, this discomfort also made her realize that in just three days, the 18th would arrive.

Chu Xingyao thought with great joy that this must be an imperial decree issued by Jun Jiuxiao, who had pleaded with the emperor to grant her the marriage so that he could marry her as soon as possible.

After all, their love was stronger than gold, and they had longed to be together forever.

Chu Huaizhong's thoughts were exactly the same as his daughter's. He was overjoyed at the prospect of marrying two virtuous daughters-in-law.

However, the thought that his beloved daughter, whom he cherished so dearly, would soon be married and become Jun Jiuxiao's wife was unbearable.

A wave of indescribable sorrow and reluctance welled up in his heart.

Today is also the day that Chu Huaizhong and Chu Huaiyi officially separated their family property.

The clan elders also rushed over, eager to witness this major change within the family.

Zhou Huaizhong will move out of the general's mansion with his eldest son Chu Xingchi, second son Chu Xingyi, and beloved daughter Chu Xingyao, and establish his own household thereafter.

This former mansion, filled with memories, will be reserved for Chu Huaiyi and his family.

However, Chu Huaiyi remained resolute, insisting that he would never agree to split the family property under any circumstances.

He spoke earnestly, detailing his devout worship of the ancestral tablets and his meticulous care for the old lady over the years.

And the tireless efforts made to manage the entire General's Mansion.

He emphasized that he had worked hard, even if he had not made any great contributions.

Therefore, such an unfair division of the family property is unacceptable under any circumstances.

Having exhausted all other options, Chu Huaizhong took a deep breath.

He resolutely took out all the evidence he had painstakingly collected over the past few months from his pocket.

Without hesitation, he threw it forcefully in front of the two people in front of him.

After doing all this, his usually calm and composed face remained expressionless, but he spoke slowly and clearly, with unhurried demeanor:

"The real Chu Huaiyi died at birth."

"However, whether out of fear of my father's punishment or because there was some huge, unspeakable conspiracy hidden behind it,"

"Old Madam Chu actually went to great lengths to bring back a baby boy from outside."

"Then he impersonated my long-deceased Chu Huaiyi!"

After speaking, Chu Huaizhong suddenly turned his gaze sharp as a knife and shot it straight at Chu Huaiyi opposite him.

This was immediately followed by a cold snort filled with disdain and contempt:

"Hmph! You are not a direct descendant of the Chu family."

"But for so many years, you have been enjoying all the benefits and interests that should belong to the real Chu family members without any qualms."

"Over time, your greed has only grown stronger!"

As he spoke, Chu Huaizhong turned his gaze back to the old lady Chu, who was now trembling with fear.

At the same time, he deliberately raised the jade pendant he was holding and gently shook it in the air a few times, asking with a half-smile:

"Madam, please tell me, is there any falsehood in what I said?"

At this moment, Old Madam Chu's face was ashen, and the scene from last night involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Last night, Chu Huaizhong had a private talk with her. At that time, Chu Huaizhong bluntly revealed to her face:

"Chu Huaiyi is not of the Chu family bloodline at all, but a bastard born from your affair with another man behind my father's back!"
