Chapter 178

Just when the news of Su Jingyuan's relapse and death came back to Beijing, Chu Ye realized that Su Jingyuan's death might be related to the Fan family and also to Chu Zhao.

He vaguely guessed something.

But the less people know about Su Jingyuan and Concubine Xian, the better. Chu Yi has no way to explain it to him, so he can only let him guess.

And she didn't go to the prison.

Her fourth brother is such a proud person, he must not want her to see him in a mess now.

"You said this year's Chinese New Year, will our brothers still be together?" Chu Yao asked in a low voice, not sure if he was asking Chu Yi or himself, the braids on the back of his head drooped.

Chu Ye said: "I received the news, big brother, you will be back in a few days."

The dark clouds that had accumulated in their hearts during this period of time finally dissipated a bit.

……

It was cold and windy, and Chu Yi was wearing a thick cloud mink brocade cloak, standing on the side of the long street.

She held a small brass hand stove in her arms, and her delicate and bright face emerged from the shadow of the cloak, with a few strands of black hair and a small braid scattered around the edge of the headband.

Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her smile with red lips was handsome and eye-catching, attracting the attention of people around her.

What a handsome young man.

If it weren't for Chu Yi who was accompanied by two guards who both wore bamboo hats and looked very difficult to provoke, the people around would have been ready to move.

"Yin Bing, I told you to cultivate well in the palace, why do you have to come out with me, it's so cold." Chu Yi whispered while hugging the hand stove.

Yin Bing, who was wearing a bamboo hat, stood upright, glanced at Xiao Yan who was wearing a bamboo hat on the other side, and said, "I got well early, why didn't you ask, why is he here?"

Xiao Yan stared at Chu Yi seriously, his eyes were covered by the bamboo hat, only his tall nose bridge and thin light-colored lips were exposed.

"Of course I'm also here to protect Ah Yi, but it's you, Ah Yi. What are you doing today's bloody incident?" The beautiful thin lips slightly opened and closed.

After going around and around, the question was thrown to Chu Yi again.

The corner of Chu Yi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Shhh, don't call me Ah Yi, call me Young Master—my Young Master, of course I'm here to see the treacherous servants, it's very satisfying."

She stood in the crowd pretending to be calm, looking at the high execution ground in front of her.

Today is the execution day for the three members of the Fan family. She has to watch Fan Qian's head fall with her own eyes to be at ease.

"Okay, Mr. Chu." Xiao Yan hooked his lips, and gently repeated the three words "Mr. Chu".

He obviously didn't say anything, but Chu Yi couldn't help looking at him.

The 17-year-old Xiao Yan was dressed in a moon-white embroidered green bamboo gown, with a sword on his waist, a straight back, a vermilion hair band on his eyebrows, his eyes were like the clear springs of streams in the afternoon sun, and his thin lips Light hook, wanton bewitching.

She felt that Xiao Yan seemed to be a little taller than when he first met after rebirth, and his slightly sunken eyes showed more and more the publicity of King Yu.

She was glad that she let Yin Bing and him both wear bamboo hats, and only she who was close to him could see his real face clearly—it was so beautiful that it made one's heart beat.

"My lord, do you want to do something to your subordinates when you look at them this way?" Xiao Yan asked.

Chu Yi: "What do you want me to do to you?"

"Anything is fine."

"..."

Chu Yi lowered her head, looked at the saber at his waist, then at the wooden sword at her own waist, and sighed.

Although she chose a beautiful scabbard for herself, but... it was a wooden sword.

After Xiao Yan used her little dagger last time, he didn't return it to him.

Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, the people around looked at each other, as if they understood something, they shook their heads.Alas, what a handsome young man, you can break it off...

"Drink ice—"

A quiet voice sounded.

Chu Yi followed the prestige, and saw that the crowd had involuntarily divided into two rows, and Chu Yun, who was wearing a snow-white cloak and plain white deep clothes, was walking slowly.

He walked slowly and steadily, with a green crown and black hair, eyes that looked like ink, and a faint smile on his lips.

"Oh my god, he's so handsome. Whose handsome son is this—"

"I haven't seen it before, but it seems that the body is not in good shape. Look at this pale face."

"Sure enough, good-looking people know each other."

The people were talking in low voices.

Behind Chu Yun, followed by seven or eight imperial doctors in ordinary clothes.

"Three Sovereigns...how did Third Brother come out?"

"You, why did you go out?"

Chu Yi and Yin Bing asked together.

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows when he saw Chu Yi's braids exposed, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yan calmly.

"I heard that Xiao Liu came out with drinking ice, and you still came to see this kind of thing, so I came here specially to join in the fun."

"Oh, it turned out that Yin Bing accompanied me out of the house, and you came to find her, just to join in the fun." Chu Yi tutted.

"You don't want to provoke my relationship with Yinbing." Chu Yun had already walked in front of the three of them, and asked in a low voice, "Yinbing, how is your injury?"

Drinking ice's cold pretty face suddenly flushed, and said expressionlessly: "I'm fine."

"Then would you like to be better?" Chu Yun said, took a stove from the person behind him, and stuffed it into Yinbing's arms without any explanation, "Is it cold? Here you are."

Drinking Bing raised his fist: "I don't need it! I'm not cold either."

She wants to protect Ah Yi, how can she hug a stove?

The smile on the corners of Chu Yun's lips deepened. He glanced at the empty execution ground and the streets in the distance, and said, "Are you worried that someone will rob the execution ground in the capital in broad daylight? Don't worry, Mr. Chu." , nothing will happen, there are people who are protecting her every step of the way."

Yin Bing still doesn't want it, she is the one who protects Chu Yi every step of the way.

"I don't want other girls to have hand stoves, but you don't." Chu Yun suddenly approached Yinbing, and whispered in a voice that only a few people could hear.

His breath carried a faint medicinal fragrance, as well as the burning warmth of his palms.

The icy blue pupils of the drinker instantly widened, like waves in a quiet lake.

Holding the hand stove, she endured it for a long time before resisting the urge to push Chu Yun away with a punch.

...The main reason is that if I punched myself, I became the murderer of the prince.

"You, you, you... you, I can hit ten! Don't come close to me!"

Yin Bing blushed angrily, fiercely.

Then Chu Yi said: "Third brother, you are too partial to one another, what do you mean you don't want other girls to have hand stoves, am I not your dear sister?"

Chu Yun raised his hand, tapped her head lightly, and said with a smile:
"Aren't you my dear fifth younger brother now? The fifth younger brother doesn't get preferential treatment. No wonder I heard rumors that there are always ministers impeaching the fifth prince anonymously for visiting brothels and drinking flowers and wine. Ahem... so it is so."

Chu Yi smoothed the braids that were sticking up at the back of his head, and pulled Xiao Yan away: "Goodbye."

Xiao Yan showed a friendly smile to Chu Yun, a little stiff but sincere.

Chu Yun also smiled at Xiao Yan, and then grabbed Yinbing's sleeve to prevent her from chasing up: "Ahem, Yinbing, can you help me...I might faint..."

Yinbing stopped, and supported him unhappily.

After walking a little farther away from Chu Yun, Chu Yi stopped, looked back at the two entangled behind him, and couldn't help but said: "How can I remember that the third brother said that although he is weak, he will never need other people's support... dare you Ice drinkers are not human?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, turned Chu Yi's head around, without explaining.

At this time, Cen Zijing, the officer in charge of execution and chariot and cavalry general, arrived, and a large group of soldiers from the Gyeonggi Battalion took the lead to surround the execution ground.

Accompanying him along the way was Fu Zhili, the son-in-law of the eldest princess.

In the three prison cars behind were Fan Qian, Fan Muyuan and Fan He. Even though the three were locked in the prison car, their hands were still tied and they couldn't move.

Other death row prisoners involved in this matter will either be executed in prison or be executed next year. Only these three will be beheaded for public display.

The prison car was moving slowly. In the car, Fan Qian had completely lost the poise of a prime minister. He was wearing prison clothes and had no injuries on his body. His hair was disheveled and he turned his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and deep.

The people in the crowd also gradually became agitated, and many people spat at them.

"The treachery is ruining the country, the treachery is ruining the country!" An elderly scholar scolded.

"I want to avenge the dead girl Caiyan, Fan Muyuan, you bastard! You deserve to die!"

"Fan Muyuan also married a barbarian, a scum of the Yan Kingdom."

"The farm tools and seeds they sold made our Chenjia Village have no harvest for a year."

Several civilians with layers of patches on their bodies also rushed to the back of the prison car and cried.

"They also assassinated Princess Yongning, that is the jewel of our Yan Kingdom, she was the one who persuaded Master Gu to help the disaster, this bastard actually wanted to kill the princess..."

"As a Yan people, colluding with the barbarians, he is really a scum, and he deserves to die."

"It was because they colluded with the barbarians that General Su was injured and his old illness relapsed!"

Some people took out rotten vegetable leaves and threw them into the prison car one after another. Someone mentioned Su Jingyuan and became even more angry with the three of the Fan family.

Not long after, the bodies of the three of them were covered with mud and vegetable leaves.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it," Chu Yi looked at the scene and said in a low voice, "The one who wins the hearts of the people can win the world. The common people seem to be the most deceitful, but the common people know who is the best." who is evil."

Since Chu Tingxiao succeeded to the throne, the Yan Kingdom has been lightly taxed, and the people of the Yan Kingdom respect the imperial court far more than the Xiancheng Emperor back then.

It is precisely because of this that the common people hate corrupt officials and ministers who harm the country even more.

Xiao Yan opened his arms and held Chu Yi in his arms as much as possible to prevent those furious people from losing their minds and hurting others.

He doesn't care what thousands of people are angry about, he just looks at her and is satisfied.

"It seems that I am not a qualified person in power," he said softly, with his chest burning hot, "If it were me, I would only care about you alone."

He still can't forget the moment when Chu Yi from his previous life lost his breath in his arms, his heart was ashamed, and his only thought was...

go with her.

He didn't want anything, he didn't care about anything, he just wanted to go with her.

And then, what supported him to live, he couldn't remember.

Chu Yi thought of the Great Demon King Xiao Yan, and said: "You haven't taken power yet, if you really do... the emperor, the prince, I don't want to see the lives of people burnt and the people displaced."

Although Xiao Yan in his previous life had a reputation for being vicious and lawless, he was impeached and feared by all the officials of the Yong Kingdom, but because of his handsome appearance that survived all battles, the people of the Yong Kingdom did not have any ill feeling towards him.

Every time he returns from the expedition, he will be loved and sought after by all the women of all ages in Yedu, and he will also be jealous of half of the men in Yedu, while the remaining half of the men in Yedu will worship him very much.

Just as he was talking, the prison car drove up to Chu Yi and Xiao Yan.

"Princess Yongning!" Fan Qian, who had been hiding from Cai Ye in the prison car, suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared at her steadfastly past the common people standing in front of Chu Yi.

"Su Jingyuan is dead?"

"Su Jingyuan is actually dead?! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"He...he...hahahaha..."

He roared like crazy, not caring about the leaves that hit him in the face.

Cen Zijing also saw Chu Yi in the crowd, and nodded slightly to her as a salute.

He took a step forward, frowned and reprimanded: "Fan Qian, we are about to hit the road soon, please be more honest."

"honest?"

Fan Qian looked at Xiao Yan who was protecting Chu Yi behind him, and then turned his head to look at Cen Zijing, his eyes were about to split.

"What did I do wrong, I didn't do anything wrong, why did you kill me, why did you kill my son! Where is the Fourth Highness, where is Fan Qiongran? They, why didn't they come to save me?!"

Chu Zhao is his last hope, he can't reveal that he is not the prince, he still has to wait for His Royal Highness to save him, he is His Royal Highness' uncle, how can he die here.

Fan Qian never knew that Su Jingyuan had already confessed everything to the emperor on his own initiative.

He actually guessed in his heart that Chu Zhao would not save him, but he didn't want to believe it.

"correct!"

Fan Qian suddenly thought of something, struggled violently, bumped his head against the wooden railing of the prison cart, and yelled at the civilians.

"You said that my son married a barbarian concubine, you don't know, Chu Lin, the eldest prince! He is also with a barbarian woman! Why don't you kill him, why don't you kill him!"

"Let Su Xuan and Su Bai go to Beifu. Dayan has been in the country for hundreds of years. It has been like this. Only the Su family can save Dayan. You killed Chu Lin!"

Chu Yi's pupils shrank, and his face darkened.

Fan Qian actually knew about his eldest brother.

She soon realized that the Fan family had many connections with the Man Rong at the border, and if Chu Lin was really with the Man Rong princess he mentioned in his letter, it was not impossible for Fan Qian to get the news.

"At this time, he still wants to drag the eldest prince into the water." Xiao Yan said.

"Now that Su Jingyuan is not here, the eldest brother will control the 1 troops of the Northern Mansion, and temporarily become No. in the Yan army, but if the eldest brother is implicated, then Su Bai or Su Xuan will be in charge of the army.

When the time comes, Fan Qian will threaten Su Jingyuan again, as long as any of them care about the reputation of the Su family or his second uncle, they will be used by him again. "

As Chu Yi said, he and Fu Zhili looked at each other from a distance.

Fu Zhili had seen the way a princess disguised herself as a man, and when he saw her, he nodded his head, his gentle face turned cold: "If you dare to make arrangements for Your Highness, don't tell him to shut up!"

A soldier immediately stepped forward and stuffed a rag into Fan Qian's mouth to stop him from swearing.

"Yi'er, is elder brother really with a barbarian woman?"

Chu Yun asked from the side.
