BXBX NOVEL Chapter 264 - 264 They Are Also Very Helpless
“Let’s go, pull up the prison cart!” When the members of the Zhao family were pulled out of the prison cart, they were almost blinded by the sunlight. Their eyes were not used to the darkness of the prison.
Jiang Xi was the last to come out. When she came out, the people were stunned. The golden light was too dazzling and too arrogant!
After they got on the prison carriage, they were surprised to find that the carriage was made of incense wood. The fragrance even attracted butterflies. Jiang Xi stood in the middle of the carriage with butterflies around her, looking like a god.
“Will the Pure Consort die of anger?” The officer felt a little uneasy. The Pure Consort clearly had a grudge with the Zhao family.
“What do you know? Which of the bosses in Jing City truly started from scratch? The interests here are complicated, and can be easily affected. It’s true that the Pure Consort hates the Zhao family, but the Zhao family is about to die, so what’s wrong with sponsoring the Zhao family? Who would dare to say anything?” Besides, they were not the ones who sponsored it. They were just ordinary officers who watched over the prison.
The Zhao family had been raided and everyone had been beheaded. This was a major event that had not occurred in Jing City for a long time. The Zhao family had always been treated as an after-meal conversation in Jing City, but no one had expected that the Zhao family would be so different even after their heads were beheaded. If people who did not know the situation saw this, they would think that some family was marrying off a young lady!
The members of the Zhao family expressed that they were also in despair and helpless!
“What crime do you think the Zhao family has committed to make the emperor so angry that he doesn’t even care about General Zhao Ruifeng and wants to execute the entire Zhao family?” Someone said in a low voice.
“I’m guessing that Zhao Hongwei slept with someone he shouldn’t have. He’s the most unreliable person in the Zhao family.”
“I don’t think so. Maybe Marquis Zhao has had too many children, and His Majesty is envious.”
Zhao Hongwei and the emperor were still at two extremes in Jing City. The emperor had a hard time having children, while Zhao Hongwei kept giving birth to daughters…
There was a lot of discussion on both sides of the street, but when they saw Jiang Xi’s golden shackles, they were all stunned. “I only know that it’s hard to move around without a backer these days, but I didn’t know that you have to go through the back door to even behead someone. This girl must have gotten in through the back door, right? Why was she wearing golden shackles even when she’s going to be beheaded?” The crowd discussed the Zhao family, especially Jiang Xi.
It was close to 12:00 PM, and all the members of the Zhao family were pushed to the entrance of the market.
Zhao Panpan was dressed in fine clothes and sat on the throne with a noble expression. Her face was expressionless and did not have any trace of her usual approachability. She was too lazy to even hide her emotions. Whether it was the princess or the Pure Consort, no matter which identity she had, it was enough for her to do whatever she wanted in Jing City. Furthermore, the emperor felt guilty toward her. If she wanted the stars in the sky, the emperor would find a way to pluck them down for her.
“The 372 servants of the Zhao residence have all been sold. All of the Zhao family’s relatives are here.” The officer in the prison did not leave after sending them over. He stood and watched from a distance. He had a feeling that he was going to witness the birth or death of an important figure today. It was all thanks to his extraordinary intuition that he was able to become an official in the prison. Otherwise, how could he have picked up the little prince, who had been sent out of the palace, from a pile of trash? At that time, he had even taken a look. The little prince was pink and tender, cuter than a little girl, except for the red flower-like birthmark on his shoulder. Later… After that, the little prince was taken away. He had only saw a glance, but he had never told anyone about it.
Zhao Panpan frowned when she saw the chains on Jiang Xi’s body.
“I see you as my closest family, so I will personally send you off and bestow wine.” Zhao Panpan lifted her chin and someone brought a bowl of wine. The sun was about to rise to its highest point and the sunlight was already scorching.
“When the sun rises to its highest point, all of you will leave. If I can take your place, I’m willing to die in your place.” Zhao Panpan’s eyes were filled with tears, but the words that came out of her mouth made Zhao Yingying’s face turn red.
