I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 3: The whole family is executed

[Is this the prince consort who dares to keep a mistress behind the princess' back and wants to confuse the royal bloodline? Tsk tsk, he looks like a decent person, but why doesn't he do anything? ]

[Not only does she support a large family with the eldest princess's dowry, but she also makes the eldest princess fulfill her duties as a daughter-in-law and visit her own mother every morning and evening. The mother-in-law is also confused. She dares to set rules for the eldest princess. Not only does she look at the eldest princess with disdain every day, but she also makes the eldest princess serve her to wash and serve dishes. Doesn't she have hands? ]

Chu Liuzheng continued to scroll down while clicking his tongue.

[Oh, this prince consort is even better. The red flag is flying at home, and the colorful flags are flying outside. He actually kept three concubines behind the eldest princess' back, and the child born by one of the concubines can go out to buy soy sauce. ]

[The princess was deceived by his pretended gentleness and thoughtfulness, and the people in the mansion also helped to conceal it. She actually thought that the prince consort went to the military camp to do official business when he was not in the mansion. In fact, he went to be affectionate with his concubine, and they were sweet and sweet.]

[Bah, you scumbag, the tyrant kicked you well!!]

Every time Chu Liuzheng revealed a disgusting thing the prince consort had done, Xiao Jingfan's face darkened, anger surged in his chest, and even his breathing became uncontrollably heavy.

His fists clenched until they made a creaking sound, and he shouted angrily, "Someone, bring this fellow down to me and torture him to death!"

As soon as the word "Lingchi" was uttered, the scene became quiet.

Everyone who came with Emperor Shunguang looked at the son-in-law. What big mistake had this man made to make His Majesty so angry?
The prince consort was also very confused. Just the two words "Lingchi" made his legs and feet go weak, and he almost fell to the ground with the servant who was supporting him.

The Minister of Personnel said, "Your Majesty, our dynasty has always only used the death penalty for extremely vicious criminals. May I ask what crime the prince consort has committed?"

Others were also very curious.

Although Emperor Shunguang was known as a tyrant among the people, all the ministers in the court knew that he was not a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

If they were to torture the princess and her husband to death by lingchi right from the start, they had to give a reason.

Chu Liuzheng was also confused.

[Could it be that the tyrant already knew that the prince consort had deceived the princess, and came here specifically to support his sister? ]

[But, I didn't see anyone passing the news to the tyrant, how did the tyrant know? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Of course it’s because of you!
"He allowed his relatives to bully the royal princess, kept three concubines as his own, and used the concubines' children as his own sons, in an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline and fool the royal family."

Xiao Jingfan's voice was cold enough to make ice chips fall off, and it contained boundless anger.

"I will punish him for all his crimes. I will not execute his entire clan of Nanyang Marquis's Mansion out of consideration for the friendship we had with the late emperor!"

Everyone was so shocked that their mouths opened wide, and they all looked at the prince consort with an expression that said "you are so brave".

The prince consort looked completely pale and almost frightened to death.

How does Your Majesty know these things?
Did the princess tell Your Majesty?

However, the wet nurse was his and it was impossible for her to tell the princess that the child had been replaced.

The princess was exhausted from giving birth, and she only saw her baby three times. All the babies looked the same, and they had no birthmarks. How did the princess find out?
The prince consort's mind was in a mess, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

Could it be that the spies in the Princess's mansion have not been completely removed, and there are His Majesty's men among them?

"Drag him away!" Xiao Jingfan ordered again.

This time no one raised any questions.

When a goose passes by, it leaves traces behind. You can tell whether these things are true or false just by checking.

Your Majesty's rage is obviously not without cause.

Not to mention other things, the mere fact of confusing the royal bloodline is enough for the prince consort to die a thousand times.

Two Jinyiwei stepped forward to catch the prince consort, and suddenly a weak voice called out, "Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and said "Oh" in secret.

The princess rushed over from the back house after receiving the news, along with the husband's mother, the old lady Zhou from the Nanyang Earl's Mansion.

Ever since her son married a princess, Zhou was taken in by her filial son to live in the eldest princess's mansion, enjoying the wealth and splendor of the royal family.

[This is the son-in-law's biological mother. Judging from her appearance, she is a mean person. Why would the tyrant choose such an evil mother-in-law for the eldest princess? ]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He didn't choose it!!
In recent years, Zhou has used her status as a mother-in-law to set rules for the eldest princess. She has been respected and honored by the eldest princess, and she has become arrogant.

She looked at her own son who was caught by the Jinyiwei with heartache. Before the princess spoke, she asked first:

"Your Majesty, may I ask what crime my son has committed that caused Your Majesty to call for his death as soon as he entered the palace? Please give me an explanation, otherwise if this matter gets out, it will damage Your Majesty's reputation for kindness."

Chu Liuzheng blinked.

[Wow! The old lady is very brave. She even threatened the tyrant. She is afraid of missing out on the whole family being killed, right? ]

Xiao Jingfan also found it interesting. Could it be that this old woman thought that since she was the eldest princess's mother-in-law, he, the emperor, would not do anything to her?
He was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand: "Slap your face."

Everyone gasped. You were so rude to hit someone in the face.

Zhou was also stunned.

Didn't my old man who died early say that emperors all want to have a reputation for being kind? Why is this development wrong?
She immediately turned to look at the eldest princess, wanting her to plead for her.

"Snapped!"

A slap came from the side, causing Zhou to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

[Oh, Eunuch Zhou was really ruthless. The old lady's face was swollen after this slap.]

Many servants in the Princess's mansion exclaimed, "Old Madam!"

But under the emperor's intimidation, they did not dare to step forward to protect Zhou.

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of crisp applause continued to ring out.

Zhou Yuande didn't dare to stop until Xiao Jingfan called out for it.

Everyone felt their face ache after hearing this.

Tsk tsk, why would this old lady bother to provoke His Majesty?

Your Majesty can even kill his own brothers, and you still expect him to respect the elderly and love the young?
"Stop! Don't hit my mother!" The prince consort struggled to get over, but the Jinyiwei's hands were like iron clamps, and he couldn't break free with his mediocre kung fu.

He shouted at the princess, "Princess, my mother always praises you for being filial to everyone she meets. Now, can you bear to watch her get punished?"

Of course, the eldest princess couldn't just stand by and watch, so she wanted to plead for her mother-in-law, but she was pulled back by her wet nurse, Madam Liu.

Nanny Liu shook her head at her.

Since the princess got married, this old woman has always been picky about her own princess. For the sake of her husband, the princess endured it all and asked people around her not to tell her husband, so as to avoid a quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the husband being caught in the middle.

Now, Your Majesty supports your own princess and gives this old hag a beating. Let’s see if she dares to take the opportunity to bully your own princess again in the future!

Although the princess didn't like her mother-in-law, she ignored her nurse's obstruction and knelt at Xiao Jingfan's feet and said, "My mother-in-law is old and has learned her lesson. I beg Your Majesty to forgive her this time."

[No way, the princess is still begging for mercy for the old woman when her husband did those idiotic things? Is she so saintly?]

[Wait! You came so quickly, doesn't the princess know what the prince consort has done? ]
