The second prince dragged Ma directly to the secret room where the child-giving portrait and the child-birth talisman were enshrined.
Ma yelled: "What are you doing? You don't want a son anymore?!"
The second prince ignored her and stepped forward to lift the red cloth.
There was originally a portrait of Zhang Xian delivering his son, but now if you take a closer look, it has turned into a ferocious evil ghost, with a man stepping on his left foot and a woman under his right arm.
There are names next to the two people, and they turn out to be the Emperor and the Queen.
The second prince suddenly broke out in a sweat, but he was secretly glad in his heart.
Looking at the child-birth charm next to it, it seems to have changed.
He picked up Ma and showed her: "See for yourself what this is?! It turns out that you burn incense morning and night and worship day and night, but you are actually cursing the emperor and empress!"
Ma was dumbfounded when he saw it, and hurriedly argued: "How could this happen? I don't know, no one will come in except you."
The second prince was unwilling to listen to her argument and said: "You are a snake and scorpion woman, I won't tolerate anything you say now!"
After hearing this, Mr. Ma immediately went crazy. While scratching the second prince, he cried hysterically: "You have really lost your conscience! Without me, how could you have been safe for so many years?!
Now that we are seeing our family lose, you are showing a shameful face! Bah! You are so shameless!"
The second prince had never made a move in all the years they had been married to her, but now he no longer bothered to accommodate her in the slightest, so he kicked Ma in the stomach and knocked her down in the corner.
Then he ordered the people following him: "Tie up this crazy woman and keep her under guard. Nothing in the house is allowed to be moved.
If irrelevant people want to come in, just draw the knife, it doesn't matter how many people die."
Then he turned over and went straight to the palace to see the queen.
He told the queen exactly what had happened, and finally said: "My son and I have been loyal to our mother and queen for so many years, and I dare not hide anything.
I don’t know where this matter went wrong, and I don’t know who did it. Maybe it was Ma, maybe someone else. Therefore, the son couldn’t make up his mind and came to ask his mother for advice.
But no matter what, this Ma family can no longer stay. She has no other ability except to cause trouble, let alone now she is full of complaints about her father and mother."
Upon hearing this, the Queen roughly guessed what was going on. This matter was probably not done by Ma. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that the Queen was a relative, not an enemy.
But now they can't shake Qingque at all. They can only scare the enemy and suffer disaster.
Secondly, the Ma family has become a burden now, just like a stump with abscesses. If it is not cut off ruthlessly, it will eventually hurt itself.
So the queen said: "Ma Feiyan is fierce and jealous, does not know respect, and does not follow the rules.
Now that he has done such a heinous and unethical thing, if he is not punished severely, wouldn’t he be blaspheming the majesty of the Holy One?
Liang Jing, please report this matter to the emperor immediately, and then accompany the second prince out of the palace. You must do it neatly and do not leave anything to say to others."
These words were spoken not only to Liang Jing, but also to the second prince.
At this time, Ma Zhong and his wife did not know that the disaster of destroying their family was just around the corner.
I'm still worried about Ma Cunxu's illness.
Until the second housekeeper hurriedly came in and knelt down to announce the funeral: "Master, madam, the sixth young master... he has passed away..."
"My son..." Mrs. Ma couldn't help crying. Although this was not his biological son, he had been adopted in her name.
What's more, Ma Cunxu serves her very diligently on weekdays, so he naturally has feelings for her.
Ma Zhong couldn't help but feel sad. Their family has been experiencing constant disasters in the past six months.
Mrs. Ma cried and said: "Put up a funeral shed and announce the funeral to each family! I want them to know that my son is dead. Let's see who among them should give me an explanation!"
She felt that even if her son accidentally beat someone to death, he would still be guilty of death.
Now, within two days of being imprisoned, a good man contracted smallpox and died.
How can this be justified?!
Ma Zhong was also determined to give an explanation no matter what.
His son cannot die in vain, he must be buried with him!
He was asking people to wait on him to change his clothes and prepare to enter the palace to meet the saint.
The butler staggered in, his face as pale as dirt.
"Master, madam, it's not good!"
"Not good? What else can I do wrong?" Ma Zhong snorted coldly.
"The Royal Guards are here and have surrounded our house." The butler shook his clothes and trembled, "It is the emperor's order... to ransack the house!"
"Search the house? Why?!" Ma Zhong and his wife almost didn't jump up.
They were full of grievances and had no place to complain, so why did someone raid their home?
"I don't know much about it, I just heard that our girl committed something, and the Holy Spirit was so angry that he... sent her to death..." After the butler said it, he didn't have the courage to continue.
Ma Zhong was still frightened, but his wife had already called "my son" and fainted.
Although Ma Cunxu's death made her sad, Ma Feiyan's incident was unbearable for her.
She only had two children in total. The eldest son fell off a horse and died, and her daughter Ma Feiyan was killed by the emperor.
This news made her feel like she had received a blow from Sun Dasheng, and her three souls and seven souls immediately left her body.
It's noisy here, crying and fussing.
The once-prominent Ma family suddenly turned into a rat on the street.
In the second prince's residence, Ma's clay statue sat slumped on the ground.
There was a red tray in front of her, with a bunch of white silk and a porcelain vase inside.
Liang Jing had already read the imperial edict in public. The emperor and the queen did not question her face to face, but directly sentenced her to death.
In the emperor's view, Ma's evil thoughts have long been revealed.
And now, not only does she not repent, but she even gets worse and goes crazy.
He never wants to see such a vicious woman again.
Anyway, the Ma family has become the target of public criticism, and the people hate them to the core, so I can be regarded as complying with public opinion.
Therefore, it was decreed that the Ma family should be put to death, and the Ma family would seize the title and confiscate the family.
"Ma Feiyan, hurry up and hit the road. Don't wait any longer." Liang Jing urged with a stern face, "If you still want to save some dignity before you die, do it yourself. Otherwise, if the incense burns out, you will have to let others wait for you to hit the road." Ma Feiyan has been yelling and cursing ever since she was dragged into the secret room by the second prince.
At this time, my voice was completely mute and I couldn't make any sound.
She just looked at the second prince and others with vicious eyes, but in the eyes of everyone, she was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Ma Feiyan, you caused the Ma family to be ransacked. Even if you die, you will still be resented and reviled by them." The second prince looked at Ma coldly, "No wonder others, it's you who are stupid and bad."
Ma Feiyan opened her mouth. She probably wanted to curse again, but unfortunately no sound came out.
Soon, the Ma family was ransacked and the news that Ma Feiyan was sentenced to death spread throughout the capital, and many people clapped their hands and cheered.
The Ma family dominates the officialdom and naturally oppresses good people and harms the common people.
Now that their family is in trouble, every restaurant in the capital has 30% more customers than usual.
They are all celebrating this.
As the saying goes, the Ma family fell into decline, and even Concubine Ying was not spared and was directly demoted to a talented person.
It was for the sake of the tenth princess that the emperor spared her life and position.
