Chapter 259 The Dust Settles
Out of intuitive uneasiness, Xie Qingyao kept pacing in the palace. Every quarter of an hour, Princess Han would ask, "Is Qian'er back?"

What is obtained is always denied.

But that's fine, if she doesn't come back, it will prove that Princess Beixia is dead, and Lu Qian will be left for questioning.

Chunhe's family members are all in the hands of Xie Qingyao, this maid will take all the blame for her family and identify Xie's family.

Xie Qingyao kept praying that things would go well.

The nanny who went to inquire about the news came back and returned to Xie Qingyao, "Princess, this old servant heard that the eldest son and Chunhe were left in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the prince just entered the palace with Mr. Xie."

Xie Qingyao had just landed a big rock completely.

It is reasonable to think that the reason why Lu Qian and Chunhe were kept in the prison of the Ministry of Justice was because they poisoned Princess Beixia to death.

The reason why King Han entered the palace was to plead guilty for his eldest son.

Xie Yongfu entered the palace to exonerate his family.

Luckily.

Xie Qingyao's eyes burst into a triumphant smile, "Now, things are starting to develop in our favor again. I believe it won't be long, but Xie Chunxiao, who has just left the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, will re-enter."

It is true that Chunhe's identification may not be enough to fully prove that Princess Beixia was killed by Xie Chunxiao, but Da Zhou needs a scapegoat to give Beixia an explanation.

Xie Chunxiao is the most suitable candidate.

Even if she can't do anything, she still has to die.

Even if the emperor knew in his heart that the person who killed Princess Beixia was actually her, it was impossible to really find her out and give Princess Beixia her life.

The emperor always had to consider King Han's face, as well as the child who was about to be born in her womb.

She once hated this child because of his biological father, but now it seems that this child is indeed her lucky star.

Because of this child, even if she made a huge mistake, no one could do anything to her.

Princess Han even ordered some side dishes to be cooked and brought a jug of wine to celebrate.

Slightly smoky with alcohol, Concubine Han was a little drunk, she seemed to see Xie Chunxiao being executed, and her wife became the queen of the whole Zhou Dynasty by virtue of her husband, so she couldn't help laughing foolishly.

King Han and the father-in-law next to the emperor came to King Han's mansion together, and could not wait for Princess Han to receive the imperial edict for a long time.

So King Han went to call Concubine Han himself, and when he saw the concubine's crazy appearance, he couldn't help being depressed for a while.

At this juncture, this stupid woman actually drinks alcohol?
Her only use value now is the child in her womb, and she still drinks alcohol on purpose.

If anything happens to this child, he will cut her into pieces.

King Han didn't say anything, his whole body was gloomy and terrifying, and he directly carried Princess Han to the outside.

The slightly cold wind made Concubine Han a little thankful, she looked at all this blankly.

King Han didn't talk nonsense, and directly pressed her to kneel on the ground.

Grandpa Xuanzhi said in a loud voice: "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: There is a princess Xie, who has a bad behavior, colludes with foreign enemies, and harms meritorious ministers. She doesn't want to destroy her faults, but wants to kill her. It can be said that she is devoid of conscience. As the princess, I will be hanged, and the execution will be executed after three months."

Xie Qingyao felt that she must be dreaming, that the imperial decree must have been poorly written, and Xie Chunxiao should be the one who deserved death.

However, the execution "after three months" reminded her very clearly that the imperial edict was indeed for her.

Because she had to worry about the child in her womb, she could not be executed immediately.

Not ordinary criminal law, but hanging.

Hanging in public.

She can't be a queen, but also a known treacherous villain.

Xie Qingyao couldn't accept it, she just touched a corner of King Han's clothes, and was avoided by King Han.

"Bitch, you know what you have done yourself, and now you should think about your mistakes behind closed doors and wait for the arrival of March."

After King Han received the imperial decree, he almost cruelly ordered Concubine Han to be taken to another courtyard and placed under house arrest.

In the next few days, King Han never visited Concubine Han again, no, now she can no longer be called Concubine Han, but the sinner Xie Qingyao.

Instead, he entrusted his aunt, Mrs. Shen, to contact Lianghou for him, and wanted to marry Lianghou's daughter as Concubine Han—even though Xie Qingyao did it, King Han is now married for the third time.

And his previous two concubines did not end well.

Needless to say, Xie Qingyao, King Han's first concubine was chosen for King Han by the queen mother herself. She was a female official next to the queen mother and had no background.

A few years after she married and gave birth to King Han, she died of illness.

It is true that all this has nothing to do with King Han, but it always looks not so auspicious.

Qing noble civil servants were originally from Han Wang's faction, and it would be useless for him to marry, so he could only start with the generals.

But the military commander is also unwilling to marry his daughter to the unlucky King Han.

Only Marquis Liang didn't care, and was willing to form an alliance with King Han—the reason why Marquis Liang rejected King Han time and time again was because he wanted to marry his daughter to King Han as his concubine.

Now that Xie Qingyao is abolished, everything is logical.

Xie Qingyao was imprisoned in another courtyard. In the past, all her confidants were betrayed by King Han, and she knew nothing about it.

But Xie Qingyao still didn't want to die, the little princess Lu Cailian once secretly ran over to visit her.

Lu Cailian couldn't believe it, but in just a few days, her mother and concubine had fallen into such a state.

She is Xie Qingyao's own daughter, and she only has hatred for Xie Qingyao and a deep connection with her.

"Mother Concubine, are the crimes mentioned in the imperial decree true? Even though Mother Concubine has resentment towards Chu Xiu and Xie Chunxiao in her heart, she shouldn't cooperate with the people of Beixia to do such a treasonous thing."

Lu Cailian still had a bit of a youthful spirit, "It's good to make things like this."

"My daughter doesn't want to be without a concubine mother, and there is a younger brother in the concubine's womb. Do you want to be born without a mother?"

Xie Qingyao and Lu Cailian hugged each other and cried, "It's my concubine's mistake, Lian'er, you go to beg your grandmother on behalf of my concubine, she has always been soft-hearted, maybe she will intercede for my concubine."

She didn't really feel that she was wrong, but she couldn't help it.

She has been married to King Han for ten years, and knows King Han very well. He is a hard-hearted person. She is of no use to him now, and he will not save himself.

She grew up in Xiehou's Mansion since she was a child, and her adoptive parents always had some affection for her.

Lu Cailian said: "Okay, I will intercede for my concubine."

After she left the other courtyard, there was no trace of pain on Princess Han's face.

She was also raised by Xie Hou's mansion since she was a child, and she has never suffered a bit of hardship. It can even be said that she is more pampered than Xie Chunxiao.

Because the man she married was a prince, but Xie Chunxiao married a merchant in the past.

Xie Qingyao thought that from the time the two got married, everything was doomed.

She had a good hand of cards, and her life should be prosperous and prosperous, but the failure came unexpectedly. Now, in order to survive, she has to let her daughter kneel in front of Xie Chunxiao.

Ironic when you think about it.

But don't be afraid, as long as she can survive, she will definitely not make these people feel better.

Everyone in the Xie family, including King Han who has no affection for him.

Xie Qingyao closed her eyes deeply, waiting for the good news from Lu Cailian.
