“But I think not only is Consort Liu unwilling, Yuwen Ling is even more unwilling. Otherwise, they wouldn’t force you to marry her!

“However, I think that the marriage alliance is Yuwen Lings true ending!’

Jiang Zhennan said,” Ling ‘er, are you worried that they are playing tricks before the marriage?”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” That’s right!’

Jiang Zhennan teased,” Hehe, if they really want to play tricks, then I can only pity them!” His Yue ‘er was invincible!

Lin Yuelan found it funny.” You’re getting better at joking. Sigh, speaking of which, I thought I could go to the Duke’s estate to play, but it’s a pity...” There was nothing to play with.

Zhengguo Duke’s Estate

“The imperial edict has arrived!” A sharp voice came from outside the residence.

Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and the others who were resting in the room frowned when they heard the report from the servants and the imperial edict.

Recently, this imperial edict had come too frequently!

And every imperial edict was never good!

Then why this time?

Could it be that he was here to stand up for Jiang Zhennan again?

After all, she was his daughter. Even if she could really enter the Emperor’s eyes, the Emperor was already almost 60 years old. It could be said that he was about to die and could leave at any time.

According to the custom in the palace when the emperor passed away, the concubines without children, other than the concubines that the Emperor had arranged to stay in the palace, were either arranged to become monks in the nunnery or buried with the emperor.

Therefore, even if there were good days and wealth, they would not be able to enjoy it for long!

A moment later, Zeng Yanli rushed over with her servant maids!

When Eunuch Zhang saw that everyone had arrived, he began to read out the imperial edict!

“After investigation, the Duke of the State, Jiang Yunfeng, ordered people to spread rumors that would damage the reputation of the royal family. The crime of offending the dignity of the royal family should be punished. However, I remember the merits of the ancestors of the Duke of the State, and demote the Duke of the State, Jiang Yunfeng, to a commoner and take back the plaque of the Duke of the State.

“The Jiang family of the Duke of the State had colluded with the traitor Zhou

Dehong. They had used the Ninth Princess Yuwen Lings love to hide poison in the study room of the Great General and frame the Great General Jiang Zhennan. This was the crime of the Jiang family!

“Wen Yujing will be executed for her crimes!

“The butler, Jiang Suping, has committed the crime of participating in rebellion and spreading rumors and slander. He will be punished for his crimes!

“His son, Jiang Zhenye, committed the crime of participating in the rebellion, and his crime will be executed!

“His daughter Jiang Wen, who has committed the crime of spreading rumors and slander, will be executed!

“All those who participated in the rebellion and spread rumors in the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate will be killed!

“The rest of the people from the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate, on account of their innocence, only will be exiled!”

After Eunuch Zhang finished reading the imperial edict, he said to Jiang Yunfeng, “Jiang Yunfeng, you were supposed to be beheaded on account of treason too. But the Great General pleaded for mercy, using his many years of meritorious service to exchange for the lives of the entire Jiang family.. Only those who participated in the rebellion will be beheaded!”
