Chapter 395: Confiscated property, exiled, no longer a living Guanyin
Song and Yin Jinzhuo were thrown out, and the rest of the people crawled away faster than each other!
After they all left, Xie Zhaozhao walked to Yin Jinan's coffin and said to Wang Fen, "Open the coffin lid!"
It was cold, and Yin Jinan was cleaned up. He closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and still looked so unruly.
She suffered a lot during those few days in the palace. Even when Yin Jinan died, she couldn't even cry out loud.
Now, I have suffered so much injustice and have not gotten any satisfaction at all.
"Yin Jinan, you broke your promise..."
I once thought I could ride horses with you and dominate the world, but I didn't expect that you were just a passing by and ultimately missed the promise of this life.
The smile in the memory has now become a knife piercing the heart, and the words that have never been said have now become scars on the heart.
Once, you said that I stepped on colorful clouds and gave you the sunset glow. Now look, if I were not there, you would still be that proud boy.
Yin Jinan, I have been wronged!
What I wanted to protect was gone in an instant!
Can you also be reborn? This time I will listen to you and go to the North to be the queen...
Now that you are gone, you can no longer be the Living Guanyin, right?
I want to be willful for once...
Xie Zhaozhao held the coffin and cried bitterly, her tears were so heart-wrenching that the mountains and rivers changed color.
Zhou Shaoyu came over to support her, patted her back, and asked someone to close Yin Jinan's coffin.
Liang Youbin, Wang Fen and Chu Zhongtian are all here.
Chu Zhongtian was called by Wang Badao because Yin Jinan's coffin had arrived and they wanted to keep vigil for Yin Jinan.
Fortunately, he was guarding Yin Jinan's body, otherwise Chu Zhongtian would now be a key technician in the Military Equipment Bureau and a confidential personnel.
There was no one else in the whole courtyard. Xie Zhaozhao asked Liang Youbin, "How many people from the capital have come to pay their respects these days?"
Liang Youbin showed her a notebook.
Xie Zhaozhao looked around and saw that people came to pay their respects from every mansion. However, after Xie was imprisoned, many of the people who came were not the heads of the families. Some were even servants such as housekeepers.
"Yin Jinan, I'm sorry, I have implicated you!"
The people in the capital were well-informed. Many people knew that Xie Zhaozhao was good friends with Yin Jinan, and they also knew that it was because of Xie Zhaozhao that he turned over a new leaf.
But Xie Zhaozhao had fallen, and Yin Jinan was a dead man without even a descendant, which was indeed disrespectful to him.
After Xie Zhaozhao finished reading the entire condolence book, he said to Liang Youbin, "Call everyone in the mansion. I want to hold a meeting."
The servants in Xiaoyaohou's mansion are extremely simple. Yin Jinan has no wives or concubines, no maids, and except for two cooks, the rest are rough men like Liang Youbin and Wang Fen.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xie Zhaozhao said to them, "Yin Jin'an's funeral will be presided over by the Marquis of Annan and Mr. Zhou Er for the time being. He will not be buried in the capital, but in the city that the Marquis loved most when he was alive. Get ready and send the Marquis' coffin to Si'an City."
Liang Youbin and Wang Fen, with their five sons and Chu Zhongtian, were assigned to escort the coffin. Yun He and Yun Yao led fifty people to escort Yin Jinan's coffin to Shi'an City.
The first thing was arranged, and the second thing was that she looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said, "You and I are no longer husband and wife. From today on, you don't have to follow me."
Zhou Shaoyu looked at her deeply, without any grievance or even shock, he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I am the daughter of the Xie family, so I will naturally be punished together with the Xie family. His Majesty will soon issue an order to confiscate our property and exile us, so from now on we will be strangers, and there is no need for you to wander with me."
Zhou Shaoyu did not beg for mercy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Nan Xing was terrified, and knelt down and begged, "Madam, how could you abandon His Highness? His Highness loves you the most, how could you abandon him?"
Xie Zhaozhao sneered and said, "We have no relationship now. Your Highness is a prince and has a noble status. If the Xie family confiscates their property and exiles him, and he follows us again, His Majesty will think that I have corrupted him. I think the entire Xie family will be hunted down and killed, right?"
Nan Xing understood, but how could he bear to separate his wife and the prince? He struggled internally and continued to cry and beg: "But the young master still needs mother."
"He followed me and suffered all the hardships along the way. It would be better for him to stay in the palace with Your Highness. I don't want him to suffer with me."
Nanxing was speechless and looked at Zhou Shaoyu and then at Yuanyuan pleadingly.
Yuanyuan said nothing, touched the soft sword at her waist, and stood next to Xie Zhaozhao.
Nanxing understood that Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu were really going to separate. He couldn't give up His Highness, and Yuanyuan wouldn't give up Xie Zhaozhao either.
Yuanyuan gave up her love for him and chose to be loyal to Xie Zhaozhao.
Zhou Shaoyu was silent for a long time, looked at Xie Zhaozhao, and asked quietly: "Does it have to be like this?"
"Yes!" Xie Zhaozhao said firmly, "If you follow us, it will only bring us disaster."
"Okay, I'll help you!" Zhou Shaoyu clenched his fist, stood up and left, his back straight, walking quickly.
After walking some distance away from Xiaoyaohou Mansion, Nanxing followed behind him. Zhou Shaoyu's body went limp and Nanxing immediately stepped forward to support him.
"I'm fine, let's go back!" Zhou Shaoyu and Nanxing staggered back to Qingpuyuan and saw Leng Luo waiting for him at the door.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is not feeling well. Please go back and see him." Leng Luo said apologetically while holding the sword, "The little prince is crying too."
Zhou Shaoyu said: "You go back first. Zhao Zhao is arranging the funeral for Xiaoyao Hou. Xiaoyao Hou is also my friend. I will enter the palace after Xiaoyao Hou's funeral."
Leng Luo received the letter and returned to the palace first.
People from the Imperial City Bureau also reported to Emperor Hui that Xie Zhaozhao was in Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion.
"Xie was very straightforward and directly drove His Highness away, saying that if he followed, it would only bring disaster to Xie's family."
"She is really cruel. My foolish son should have seen it clearly." Emperor Hui snorted coldly and said to Ling Xun, the attendant beside him, "You and Hua Zongguan go to the Heavenly Prison to issue the decree!"
Ling Xun lowered his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Before dawn the next day, Hua Zisheng and Ling Xun went to the Tianlao to announce the imperial decree.
Because there were so many people from the Xie family, it took the jailer nearly half an hour to expel them from the prison.
Ling Xun was not in a hurry, and Hua Zisheng was also overwhelmed with emotions and did not urge them.
After all members of the Xie family knelt outside the prison, Hua Zisheng read out the imperial edict.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun proclaims: The Minister of State Xie Anfeng has been raising soldiers, deceiving the emperor and deceiving his superiors, and has been corrupt and perverted the law. Xie Anhuai has been corrupt and indulged himself, and has no ambition to make progress... I am deeply saddened by this and am indignant. I have now dismissed him from all his posts and demoted him to a commoner.
I cannot bear to punish and kill you, so I grant you a pardon. Your entire family, regardless of gender, will be exiled three thousand miles away.
All the property in the mansion was put into the national treasury, and the order was given to set off immediately. Admire this! "
After the imperial edict was announced, Madam Xie fainted and the female family members burst into tears.
"Thank you, accept the order!"
Xie Anfeng silently took the imperial edict, looked at the old and young in the clan, knelt down again, and said to everyone: "My fellow clansmen, it is Xie Anfeng's incompetence that has brought trouble to the entire clan."
Apart from crying, the women of the Xie family did not blame each other. They just looked at Xie Zhaozhao, who was receiving the imperial edict, and were very surprised: Xie Zhaozhao was the imperial concubine, so why was she wearing prison clothes?
