The next day, hundreds of people from the Zheng clan left the capital under the "escort" of hundreds of imperial guards. The crying was endless.

Mrs. Jinning Hou cried all night, weak and weak, and fainted after walking a few steps. She was soon carried onto a wooden cart. Zheng Qinghuai and Zhu Qixuan's sons were still young and were also carried onto a wooden cart.

The rest of the people were not treated like this. They could only move forward slowly with heavy steps.

When I thought of walking to the distant border town like this, despair immediately spread from the bottom of my heart.

Even if he had more mental preparations, Zheng Qinghuai felt dim and dull at this moment.

However, Zhu Qixuan, who is usually coquettish, shows the tenacity of a noble lady in the family. While taking care of her mother-in-law and son, she comforts her crying sisters-in-law.

"Don't cry anymore. We are blessed to be able to live safely. The emperor is extremely kind and allows us to bring some gold, silver and fine materials. In the future, we will not be short of food and clothing when we arrive in the border town."

"It is useless to wipe your tears when you cry. It's better to keep some strength and move forward slowly."

"My mother-in-law is weak and needs someone to take care of. The children are still young. As long as we become strong ourselves, we can be their backbone."

When Mrs. Jinning heard this, she couldn't help but open her eyes and glanced at her daughter-in-law.

The Zheng family had prosperous descendants, and there were four sons born in the legitimate family, plus six sons. They all had married and had children.

Zheng Qinghuai ranked third, ranking among brothers, was ungrateful, and never spoke like a likable person. She didn't value her son much on weekdays. She was also very ordinary to Zhu Qixuan, the daughter-in-law.

However, the Zheng family is now in vain. There are many places that will rely on the He family in the future. Zhu Qixuan and He Qi are cousins ​​of their relatives. With this relationship, she has to look at Zhu Qixuan differently.

What's more, Zhu Qixuan's biological father was still a good Marquis of Pingxi, and his cousin Zhu Qijue was the son-in-law of the current dynasty.

Mrs. Marquis of Jinning whispered: "Mrs. Zhu, I want to drink water. Come and come to the car to serve me some drinks."

Zhu Qixuan got on the wooden cart with the envious eyes of his sisters-in-law, and served the weak mother-in-law and drank half a bowl of warm water. No one urged him, so Zhu Qixuan could continue to stay on the wooden cart. He just took a break.

No one expected that Zhu Qixuan would get off the wooden cart soon again.

What a fool!

Several sisters-in-law muttered to themselves.

Zhu Qixuan looked down upon him and walked slowly forward with the wooden cart.

The days of hardship are still coming. From today on, she has to adapt as soon as possible.

...

Compared with the dismal situation of the Jinning Hou Mansion, Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is much luckier.

At first, Zhenyuanhou, who had been imprisoned for more than a year, came back safely.

Secondly, Zhenyuan Hou was demoted to guard the imperial tomb, so the Wei family did not need to search the house or exile.

Although I want to move out of the capital, my family business can still take away most of it. In the future, my glory and wealth will be gone, and I will not have to worry about having enough food and clothing. Maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Emperor Xuanping's imperial edict soon arrived at the Wei family and ordered the Wei family to leave the capital within five days.

Five days are not short, but not long. The Wei family, who received the imperial edict, suddenly became busy. Houses, shops, fields, etc. will be difficult to deal with for a while, and everything that can be taken away has to be taken away.

Wei hurried back to his parents' home. When he saw Zhenyuanhou, tears suddenly flowed.

After this ordeal, Zhenyuanhou became more and more calm and composed.

He said to his gentle eldest daughter, "Don't cry. Compared to the Zheng family, our Wei family is very lucky. The emperor is kind-hearted and does not kill innocent people in vain. He is also a fair decision to deal with me, and there is nothing to be sad."

"In the future, I will be the guardian of the imperial tomb, and I will have hundreds of soldiers under my command. The Wei clan settled in a village near the imperial tomb. I have no wealth and great honor, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"The imperial tomb is not too far, it's four days away. If you miss your own father and mother in the future, come to see us."

This journey is indeed not far.

Wei slowly wiped his tears and nodded gently: "What my father said is. No matter what, it is the greatest blessing that his father can save his life."

That is, the new emperor is benevolent, and if the late emperor is replaced, neither Wei and Zheng clans will survive.

Zhenyuanhou whispered again: "You marry into the He Mansion and will be the wife of the He family. The Wei family suffered a disaster and will not be affected by you. However, your mother's family will not be able to support you in the future. You live a peaceful and self-satisfied life in the He Mansion."

Wei nodded with red eyes and asked after a moment, "I don't know what the emperor plans to deal with the Fourth Prince's concubine."

The fourth prince's concubine Wei Fanghua is the daughter of Zhenyuanhou and the sister of Wei's relatives. The two sisters have a close relationship. Wei has always been worried about the safety of her own sister.

Zhenyuanhou smiled bitterly: "I can't even take care of myself, and I really don't care about her anymore. I just hope that the emperor will not have any thoughts of killing the roots and keeping the lives of their mother and son."

Wei's eyes were filled with tears and choked in a low voice: "Yes, as long as people are alive."

Emperor Xuanping could let the Wei family go, and would never let the assassination of his eldest prince, the fourth prince. The lives of several princes and granddaughters were also between the emperor and the queen mother.

...

Five days later, all the Wei clans left the capital.

The Jinning Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, which has been passed down for more than a hundred years, has been removed from the plaque. The rich door is locked by thick iron locks, and seals are pasted on the cracks of the door.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued an imperial edict.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince committed the evil act of assassination, and the crimes cannot be forgiven. If you think of it, you will be punished by death, but you will not be able to escape the crime of living. From now on, the eldest prince and the fourth prince will be removed from the royal family and demoted to a commoner. You will be confined to the sect's mansion for life.

The princess and princesses and granddaughters were also banned.

After this imperial edict, the last stone fell in the hearts of the ministers.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince were dead or alive, but no one cared about it anymore. However, the young Emperor Xuanping did not kill his brothers in the end, but instead enclosed them for life. It can be seen that the new emperor was a kind and wise ruler.

Compared with Emperor Xuanhe's bloodthirsty death, Emperor Xuanping was extremely generous.

After hearing the news, Wei cried again. This time he was delighted that his sister escaped the death disaster.

No matter what, just be able to live.

Before the imperial edict was issued, Emperor Xuanping discussed with Empress Dowager Pei several times. After repeated consideration, he made a decision.

Queen Mother Pei did not stop him and only reminded Emperor Xuanping: "Since it is a ban, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must not give them the opportunity to see the light of day again."

Emperor Xuanping responded seriously: "Don't worry, my mother. My son will ask the clan's house to be strictly guarded and will never allow them to see outsiders."

Empress Dowager Pei glanced at Emperor Xuanping deeply and said no more.
