Chapter 958: To Die

Up and down the court, people were panicked for a while.

Because of the affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyong, everyone is afraid of implicating themselves, or they want to fall into the well, or they want to stay out of the matter, but they all have a common purpose, that is, to draw a successful end to this matter as soon as possible and end it as soon as possible.

No one wants to live in panic.

Whether they are alive or dying, they all want to end this frightened day as soon as possible.

Baili Chang'an was ordered to bring Qi Zheng out of the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Uncle Qi?" Baili Chang'an wanted to speak and stopped, "I ......"

Qi Zheng shook his head, "The princess doesn't need to speak, the criminal minister knows it in her heart, thank you princess for coming to give the criminal minister a ride."

"Let's go!" Baili Changan turned to leave, and after thinking about it, she glanced back at the jailer again, "Untie all the shackles."

Everyone was frightened and immediately dissuaded, "Princess?"

"I said I'll untie it, what's the cost?" Baili Chang'an couldn't say anything, "Untie."

The jailer quickly unshackled, "Yes!"

"Princess?" Qi Zheng frowned.

Baili Chang'an walked out, "Keep up."

What she has to do, no one can stop.

On the street of Jinling City, everyone saw the eldest princess of the dynasty, leading people through the long street, surrounding the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and then took the injured Qi Zheng into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Close." Baili Chang'an ordered, "Block all entrances and exits, and not let anyone go."

All the sergeants saluted, and immediately took their places, firmly guarding the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

Qi Yue knelt in the courtyard, looked at his father covered in blood, walked towards him step by step, and kowtowed respectfully, "Ah Yue welcomes his father's return, and greets his father!"

"Ah Yue, get up!" Qi Zheng bent down to pick up his son, and then looked at his own wife who pounced, and instantly burst into tears.

A family of three, hugging their heads and crying.

All the minions were put aside, and no one would come forward to disturb them.

"Princess, let's go into the study!" Qi Zheng pushed away the mother and son.

Mrs. Hou followed closely, and Qi Yue had already been detained.

"Father?" Qi Yue was anxious.

Qi Zheng paused, and when he looked back at him, his eyes were loving and firm, "Don't mess around, don't forget your father's entrustment."

"Father?" Qi Yue's eyes were red, and tears fell instantly.

Qi Zheng led Baili Chang'an into the study, and Mrs. Hou also followed.

"Thank you, princess, for making it happen." Qi Zheng burst into tears, "I heard that the princess was outside the imperial study, kneeling down and begging the emperor, sparing Ah Yue's life, the old minister was grateful, even if he died, he also thanked the princess for her great kindness!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Xie knelt on the ground together.

"Uncle Qi? Auntie?" Baili Chang'an hurriedly went to pick up, "I'm sorry, I ......."

kneeling outside the imperial study was not her intention, but her father's instructions, but she couldn't say this, and she shouldn't have said it, so she could only swallow it back and accept this kneeling in vain.

"Lao Chen has been on the battlefield for many years, but he didn't expect to come, and he made a wrong step...... The whole plate is lost, and it ends up with no security and no net worth." Qi Zheng wiped away his tears, "Madam, I have caused you trouble!"

Mrs. Hou was already crying so much that she couldn't stop shaking her head.

"Uncle Qi." Baili Chang'an took a deep breath, "Father said that if you want to leave today, you can hold me hostage and leave Jinling City, and I should do my best to cooperate." If you're ......."

When she came today, she had a sword with her.

This was the first time in her life that she carried a sword with her.

Zi Yan and Zi Lan were outside, but ...... This sword belongs to the emperor and is instructed by the emperor.

"You can decide for yourselves." Baili Chang'an held the sword in both hands, "Father said that after many years of love, I don't want to see the two heads in different places, nor do I want to see the two people split the corpses, leaving a whole corpse for Uncle Qi and Mrs., which can be regarded as the face of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion. At that time, there will be people waiting in the mass graves to collect your bodies."

Qi Zheng took the sword with trembling hands, "With the emperor's trust, as a courtier, why be afraid of death? I, Qi Zheng, have lived a bright and upright life, and this time I don't complain about the heavens or the earth, I only blame myself for not knowing people clearly, and I have harmed the lives of so many soldiers at the border gates, and it is really not a pity to die."

"Sir?" Mrs. Hou couldn't cry, "If you don't leave in life, you won't give up in death."

Qi Zheng suddenly smiled, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

"Thank you, princess!" Mrs. Hou wiped away her tears.

Baili Chang'an turned around slowly, his eyes were slightly red, the matter had come to this point, and there was no choice but to ......

Behind him, there was a muffled snort from Mrs. Hou, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Baili Changan raised his head, closed his eyes fiercely, and then turned to look again.

The cold sword pierced through the husband and wife, like wearing a sugar gourd, Qi Zheng hugged his wife together, blood dripping from the tip of the sword behind him, piercing red.

Baili Chang'an's hands were trembling, and he finally grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out with force.

In an instant, blood splattered, wetting the hem of her skirt and staining her richly embroidered shoes.

Baili Changan clenched the sword in his hand, looked at the two old men who both fell to the ground, only to feel suffocated breathing, and a sentence suddenly popped up in his head, and he couldn't help blurting out, "I want to eat sugar cakes......
