Chapter 264 The Return of the Suchenghou Mansion (3)
In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Mu Changming sat expressionlessly in a corner of the cell, silent.On the other side are Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Sun, as well as a few aunts and the naive Mu Ke.As for Mu Chen's mother and son, they had already been taken out by people under King Zhi's subordinates on the first day they came in.Knowing this moment, Mu Changming realized that this son whom he had never cared about had long ago silently chosen his own path and drifted away from him.

Although he was imprisoned for the crime of protecting Princess Mingze and trying to cover up crimes for Murong Yu, Mu Changming knew very well that this was not the real reason why Emperor Hua wanted to kill him.Regardless of whether there was Mu Qingyi or not, as long as the envoys from the Northern Han Dynasty left with Yun Rong who was about to be married, Emperor Hua would attack him.

"Master Hou... what should we do?" Sitting beside Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Sun said, looking at Mu Changming in horror.Although Mrs. Sun is not smart, she still understands the current situation of the Suchenghou Mansion.Prince Gong's mansion is finished, and so is Pingnan Wang's mansion. Two of her sons and daughters died and one was married to the Northern Han Dynasty. No one can come to rescue them.

As soon as Mrs. Sun opened her mouth, the other aunts also began to sob and cry. Mu Ke, who had been coaxed to sleep by the side, opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing the scene in front of her, she grinned and followed suit. burst into tears.

The sound of crying all over the room made Mu Changming's forehead ache, and he couldn't help shouting angrily, "Shut up! Why are you crying?"

There was a pause in the crying in the room, and soon it became louder again.Mrs. Mu, who was sitting on the side without speaking, also looked at Mu Changming, frowning with gray brows, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Was that girl Qingyi really killed by Prince Gong?" Mrs. Mu's De'an Courtyard is not close to Mu Qingyi's Lanzhi Courtyard, so naturally no one dared to disturb her with such a thing at night, so Mrs. Mu didn't know what happened from the beginning to the end?

Mu Changming also shook his head in a bit of trouble. Mu Qingyi was taken away by Murong Yu in front of him.But for some reason, he just felt that Mu Qingyi would not die so easily.I just figured out Mu Qingyi's scheme, but such a thoughtful and resourceful person was suddenly killed like this, which always gave people an unreal illusion.

"Even so... Even if our Mu family is guilty of dereliction of duty, we won't be able to confiscate our home and put us in prison." Mrs. Mu said with a frown.It's fine if Mu Qingyi is the princess of the real emperor, but Mu Qingyi is the daughter of Suchenghou's residence.Where in this world is there any reason to convict the members of one's own family when one's own daughter has been murdered?
Mu Changming felt bitter, and couldn't tell Mrs. Mu that this time their Suchenghou's mansion was completely ruined, and it was far more than ransacking the house and going to jail.

There was a light knock on the iron door outside, and then came the sound of orderly and hasty footsteps.It was already night, suddenly so many people appeared here, and they were obviously coming towards their cell, Mu Changming suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the door was opened.A man wearing a eunuch's attire holding a bright yellow imperial decree walked in first.Behind him were also several strong eunuchs, accompanied by officials in charge of the prison.But the man didn't come in, he just sent these people to the door, looked at Mu Changming and the others with some pity, then backed out and closed the door considerately.

"Who are you?" Mu Changming asked in a deep voice.

The eunuch sneered, raised his hands and even laughed: "Master Hou is joking, right? Master Hou is a dignified and sincere Hou, wouldn't you know what our family is here for?"

"Your Majesty... has a purpose?"

"That's right, it's His Majesty's decree." The eunuch even stretched out his hand, and said deeply: "Everyone in Suchenghou's Mansion accepts the decree!"

Everyone in Suchenghou's mansion looked at each other, knowing that they saw Mu Changming get up and kneel down, so they knelt down one after another.

"Sucheng Hou Mu Changming, colluded with the sinner Yu and murdered Princess Mingze. His crime should be executed. I think that he has made meritorious service to me, so he is ordered to commit suicide. This is it." Echoed in the large prison cell.

"Suicide?" Mu Changming's face turned pale. He didn't want to die... He still had too many things to finish, and he was not reconciled.He paid so much, but got nothing... He is not reconciled!
The eunuch raised his eyebrows, looked at Mu Changming coldly and said, "Hou Sucheng, accept the order."

Next to him, Mrs. Sun asked anxiously: "Eunuch, Your Majesty can tell... what should we do if we stand there?" When life and death were face to face, Mrs. Sun naturally couldn't care less about Mu Changming's life.What's more, no matter how loving she was to Mu Changming in the past, these days have worn away her feelings.Mu Changming didn't say anything when her son died, and he didn't do anything when his daughter died.Her only remaining daughter was married off to Beihan, and he still didn't do anything.Even when her arm was crippled, he just comforted her a few words.Now Mrs. Sun already knew that Mu Changming's so-called love for her in the past was just a joke.

The eunuch snorted softly, squinted at him and said, "Is that so...Your Majesty said it. Since so many of you can't even protect Princess Mingze, it can be seen that you didn't take good care of the princess, so you should just die for her. If you get to the bottom, remember the dignity of monarchs and ministers, and serve the princess well."

"What?" Mrs. Sun couldn't help screaming, even Mrs. Mu couldn't help but swayed and fell to the ground, unable to kneel anymore.Bury for the princess?Your Majesty is determined to kill the Mu family.

"No! I don't want...I don't want to die!" Sun screamed.The other female relatives also cried, no one wanted to die, and everyone was afraid of death.But they don't know what else to do besides cry?
The eunuch sneered disdainfully, is it something they can decide whether they want to die or not?No, they can only decide that they want to die, and they never have the right not to want to die.As long as the high-ranking king wants them to die, their lives are never their own.

"Master Hou...Master Hou...I don't want to die...help me..."

Although Mu Ke is still young, she still knows what a sacrificial burial is and what death is.He also burst into tears following Wow, "Father... I don't want to die, Ke'er doesn't want to die... Woooo..."

In the midst of howling ghosts and howling wolves, Mu Changming's face turned pale. Who else could he save now?

The eunuch who delivered the decree obviously came at the order of Emperor Hua.With a wave of his hand, Mu Changming was sent to a separate cell opposite the middle female family.The poison dagger and white silk had already been placed in the cell, and it was obvious that Hua Huang still planned to give Mu Changming the choice.

On the opposite side, the female relatives of Suchenghou's Mansion did not have such a good life.These strong and strong eunuchs walked in.She squeezed a bottle of poison into her mouth, even if she wanted to struggle, how could these delicate women struggle against these men.After a while, everyone including Mu Ke was poisoned.
