When Su Changxiao heard this, she was shocked. The emperor had indeed exempted her from the death penalty, but he would lock her up in the Red Buddha Temple for the rest of her life.
When she thought that she would spend the rest of her life with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, stay away from the world and live a life of darkness, she had a look of reluctance.
Seeing this, Su Ming hurriedly said: "Chang Xiao, the emperor has exempted you from the death penalty, why don't you express your gratitude?"
"People...women of the people would like to thank the emperor for your kindness."
Su Chang smiled and kowtowed three times in panic.
Eunuch Xu then said: "Su Changxiao, what you have committed is a capital crime, but the Emperor spared your life because of Master Su's hard work and meritorious service and could not bear to send his white-haired man to his black-haired man.
From now on, you must practice meditation in the Red Buddha Temple, devote yourself to making amends, and never have any intention of harming others, otherwise the emperor will never forgive you lightly."
"Yes, father-in-law."
Su Changxiao answered hurriedly.
After Eunuch Xu finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "Your Highness Prince Li, the emperor wanted to kill Su Changxiao, but she was pregnant.
The emperor did not want his heir to have a criminal mother, so he told the public that Su Changxiao was recuperating in the Red Buddha Temple.
Your Majesty knows that Prince Li has suffered a great injustice this time, but His Majesty also hopes that you can understand him."
Chu Xuanchen held his hands indifferently and said, "I know this. I will ask my father-in-law to return to the palace and report to the emperor. He will tell me that I will obey the emperor's orders in everything."
The emperor wanted to favor Su Changxiao for Su Ming, so he had no choice but to swallow his breath.
Fortunately, Su Changxiao will be imprisoned forever, and she will not be able to come out to harm others for the time being, so he feels a little comfort.
.
In this way, Su Changxiao was dragged to the Red Buddha Temple and locked up.
She was locked in a room, and the emperor sent someone to take care of her. A midwife was responsible for her three meals a day. Once she gave birth to the emperor's heir, she would take the child back to Prince Zhao's Mansion to raise her.
As for Su Changxiao, he will be locked up in that room forever.
Knowing this result, Yun Ruoyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Changxiao was not beheaded, it was good to be imprisoned for life so that she could not come out to cause trouble.
After dealing with Su Changxiao's case, Chu Xuanchen dealt with Aunt Zhang.
No matter how hard Aunt Zhang was, she still had evil intentions and took Nan Feng away. Prince Li's Mansion would never want such a person.
According to the crime Aunt Zhang committed, she should have been sentenced to death, but Chu Xuanchen pardoned her death penalty because she was set up.
But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.
In order to kill a chicken to scare monkeys and kill a hundred people, he asked Geng Tian to sentence Aunt Zhang to exile and banish her to a barbaric land as a slave.
.
Then, Chu Xuanchen took Yun Ruoyue and Nanfeng back to Prince Li's Mansion.
As soon as she returned to Prince Li's Mansion, Yun Ruoyue went to see Xia He.
Dr. Lin, the doctor of Prince Li's Mansion, had already bandaged Xia He's wounds, and now Xia He was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.
When she saw Yun Ruoyue walking in, she was as scared as a little rabbit and quickly stood up to salute her. Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Xia He, there is no need to be polite.
You have a wound on your back now, so it’s not advisable to move around. You should just lie down and recuperate first.”
"Thank you, Princess."
As soon as Xia He saw Yun Ruoyue, her eyes filled with tears, and she said with a look of remorse, "I'm sorry, Princess Li, I don't want to follow Su Changxiao and harm others.
But she threatened me with my family, she abused me, and beat me, so I had to listen to her orders and do things for her.
I really don’t want to harm anyone, I don’t want to at all.”
"I know that as her servant, you have no right to choose.
From today on, you are liberated. You no longer have to be her servant or take orders from her. You can be yourself."
