In the palace, at the Xuanwu Gate.

An old eunuch, Mr. Li Bu, walked towards the carriage in a hurry, with a panicked look on his face.

"Quick, quick, take me to Wu Mansion."

With the help of a young eunuch, he got into the carriage.

Then with the sound of "drive", the carriage left the palace!

At the gate of Wu Mansion, the current prince Li Chongjun raised his sword and shouted loudly to more than 300 personal guards: "The emperor has an order to kill Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun and Princess Anle!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The personal guards heard the order and carried huge wooden stakes to hit the gate of Wu Mansion.

In the Wu Mansion, everyone gathered in the lobby. The servants held swords in their hands and stood in a half circle facing the door, with Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun and Princess Anle protecting them behind them.

"Sir, what should we do now!"

The housekeeper said to Wu Sansi.

"Have you notified Sir Shangguan?"

"Three people have been sent out, but none of them have come back so far. I'm afraid the situation is already in danger."

The sound of banging on the door outside the house became louder and louder, and the door handle was almost knocked off. The people inside the house were extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pot.

Wu Chongxun, son of Wu Sansi, said to Princess Anle:

"Princess, you disguise yourself as a maid and leave through the dog hole at the back door while there is chaos."

"let's go together!"

"No, I want to live and die with my father!"

"I'm a princess, and they don't dare to do anything to me as long as I'm here!"

"What can happen to the princess? The current prince is going to rebel now. By the time rescue arrives, we will be dead! You hurry up and avenge us when you get out!"

"No, I am the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and I want to stay and live and die with you!"

As Princess Anle talked, she hugged Wu Chongxun and refused to let go until she died.

But Wu Chongxun pushed him away forcefully.

"Princess, from this moment on, you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and I am no longer a consort!"

After saying that, he picked up the pen and ink on the table and wrote the letter of divorce. While writing and reading, the paper was soaked with tears:

"I, Wu Chongxun, have fallen in love with my beloved and cannot be loyal to my wife. I feel ashamed to be a consort. I am willing to write this letter of divorce and allow my wife to remarry without any disputes. I do it of my own free will. That is, I am not forcing you to do anything. I am afraid that I will not have any support.

This article is for reference."

Wu Chongxun put down his writing brush with tears, threw the divorce letter to Princess Anle, and shouted to the maid:

"Here, please take the princess to the back hall to change into clothes! Send the princess away!"

"I don't want it, I really don't want it. Let me go. I'm a princess. You must listen to me. I already said I'm a princess. Let me go!"

The princess was dragged to the back hall by the maid.

At this time, Wu Sansi stepped forward and patted Wu Chongxun on the shoulder and said:

"My child, please leave too! It's just me that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill, there is no need for you to make this sacrifice!"

"Father, my child is unfilial and has failed to keep the lights on for the Wu family, but I will never ignore my father. No matter life or death, I will fight side by side with you!"

"Good boy, you are indeed a good boy of the Wu family. My father is very proud of you!"

When the housekeeper saw this scene, he was moved by it and said loudly to his servants:

"Everyone, listen up, we must protect the master and the master with all our strength! Fight to the death for the master and the master! Charge!"

Just as he finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal bodyguards had already broken through the door and entered.

The battle was about to break out. Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun knew that they were about to die soon, so they did not struggle too much and watched the fighting scene calmly.

Fortunately, Princess Anle, escorted by her maid, had already left the Wu Mansion amid the chaotic crowd.

Although Wu Chongxun was a little happy, there was still infinite sadness in his heart.

A quarter of an hour later, the housekeeper and the servants were all massacred by the personal guards and fell to the ground.

The Wu father and son were also surrounded.

At this time, His Royal Highness Prince Li Chongjun walked out of the crowd and walked up to the Wu family and his son.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you would also have such a day!"

Li Chongjun said.

When Li Chongjun was proud, a soldier came over, bowed and said:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, Princess Anle was not found anywhere in the house!"

"You can't find a woman in such a big place. You guys are really useless. Is this place bigger than the palace?"

"Indeed not found!"

After Li Chongjun confirmed again and again, he turned to look at Wu and his son, and said with a fierce look on his face:

"Where is Princess Anle!"

"Hahaha, she has already left. I'm afraid it's too late for you to chase her out now!" Wu Sansi replied.

"Huh! Come forward and read out the imperial edict!"

As Li Chongjun shouted, an eunuch walked out from behind.

The eunuch took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, opened it, and said: "Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun, listen to the edict!"

Everyone knelt down one after another, but Li Chongjun did not kneel down.

"By the fate of heaven, the emperor decreed that Wu Sansigui should be the prime minister of the country, and together with Shangguan Wan'er, he secretly communicated with the censors Zhou Lizhen, Ran Zuyong, the imperial servant Li Qian, Guanglu Cheng Song Zhixun, and the supervising censor Yao Shao.

He fabricated the case, falsely accused Zhongliang, sold his official position, committed adultery with the current Queen Wei Lian'er, and deceived the emperor. He will be executed immediately. I admire this!"

"This, this, this is a false imperial edict, I want to meet the emperor!" Wu Sansi said.

"Since you know it's a fake imperial edict, you still want to see the emperor? Hahaha, don't you think it's ridiculous? Do you think you'll still be alive to see it? Hahaha! Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun, you can't believe that you two father and son are actually here today!"

"Your Highness, I have always been loyal to you. My sons and ministers have never had any grudge against you. Why do you want to put us to death? No matter what, I am a guest of the Crown Prince on the order of the emperor. There is no basis for this.

If we want to kill the old minister and spread the word, wouldn’t it make the prince lose face?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we are still discussing with Mr. Zhou Lizhen today what gift would be better to give to His Highness the Crown Prince on his birthday!"

"Haha, then I still have to thank you?"

"This is what I should do! We are all members of our own family, it should be done, it should be done!"

"You are so glib when you are about to die! Let me tell you, Zhou Lizhen has fully confessed, and you two father and son are the masterminds behind it!"

"It's unfair. I have no grievances against Zhou Lizhen. Why did he frame me like this? I need to ask him clearly!"

"Zhou Lizhen tied Mr. Huan Yanfan with a rope and dragged him on a felled bamboo pile. The flesh was scraped off by the bamboo pile, exposing the bones. He was then beaten to death with a stick. It was extremely cruel. Mr. Jinghui was picked to death by a knife. It was cruel.

To go one step further, Mr. Yuan Shuji was force-fed kudzu juice, which made him suffer from pain in his abdomen. He fell to the ground, grabbed the soil with his hands, his fingernails were worn out, and his blood was dripping. Then he was beaten to death with a bamboo board. This cruelty went one step further. Fortunately,

Master Zhang Jianzhi died in Xinzhou due to old age, frailty and hatred. He was not brutally tortured by Zhou Lizhen. If you want to see Zhou Lizhen, you can only go to the underworld to meet them. I have already sent you to the underworld.

Those three-thinking dogs were all executed according to Zhou Lizhen’s killing method!”

"All five adults, Zhou Lizhen, Ran Zuyong, Li Chen, Song Zhixun, and Shi Yaoshao, are dead?"

"died!"

"Dead? Are they really dead?"

"died!"

Wu Sansi, who knew that a disaster was coming, was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

impossible!

As long as time is delayed, Shangguan Wan'er will definitely bring someone to save her!

Yeah!

Just delay it for a while!

So Wu Sansi said:

"Your Highness, you cannot kill me. If you want to kill me, the emperor will definitely blame me! You will definitely not be able to be the prince by then!"

"You are really good at joking. There are more than 300 Yulin troops led by Zuo Jinwu General Li Qianli, Zuo Yulin General Li Duozuo, Right Yulin General Li Sichong and Li Chengkuang, Dugu Yizhi, Sha Zha Zhongyi and others.

Now I am visiting your old friend Queen Wei. After tonight, I will be the current emperor. Why should I blame myself?"

ah?

There is no point in delaying time.
