The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #110

Today the prime ministers and their families are taken to the outer hall, which is in the middle of the capital's market to be adjudicated in front of the people.

All those who saw pelted them with rotten vegetables or fruits, while scorning and insulting them.

"Based on you bad guys!"

"How dare you do that to us!"

"Just one of you! You don't deserve to be prime minister in this country!"

The people who hate the prime ministers so much continue to insult and pelting them.

After walking past those people, the prime ministers and their families climbed to the top of the open hall. And there was already the crown prince and also the prince He Xuan Li who would read the emperor's edict and watch them at the law.

And of course, the prime minister Yun who was already unable to walk due to the punishment from the previous prince Rong, was brought by the palace guards using a cart.

"Look, it's prime minister Yun. Isn't he a prime minister who is known very well, why he has been punished so much that he can't walk?" Said one of the people who saw prime minister Yun on the wagon.

"Certainly, could it be that he has committed a crime unknown to all of us?" Say something else.

Prime Minister Yun who was famous very well by the people, certainly made everyone who saw him wonder and feel very astonished.

"It looks like prince Rong is executing the sentence against prime minister Yun quite harshly, so he can no longer walk." Said the crown prince to He Xuan Li's prince.

"You are right, but if you look again at the nature possessed by prince Rong. He would definitely not let go of that prime minister Yun just like that."

"Empress An must have spoken to prince Rong, so she released prime minister Yun to get the punishment from the emperor."

Prince He Xuan Li nodded.

The chief of the guards as well as the palace guards had stood around the large enough outer hall, lest the furious populace take any extravagant action.

(Outdoor hall like altar used for praying or fighting yes 😊).

"Your Majesty, everything is here. So is prime minister Yun." Said the head of the palace guard to the crown prince.

"Well, I have brought the word of the emperor's majesty to all of them."

The crown prince and prince He Xuan Li walked together, and stopped right in front of the prime ministers and their families.

"Lord your highness the emperor!" Said the crown prince loudly.

Hearing that, everyone who was there bowed their bodies, saluting the emperor's word that the crown prince would read.

"On behalf of the Chao kingdom. I am the emperor of Changming, sentenced him to 30 o'clock with a board on each of the prime ministers, and put them in a prison in Yin city. It will also take away all their property, and for the family of the prime minister will be exiled in eastern exile and not allowed to go out of exile forever, as for the servants and guards of their innocent dwellings, they shall be set free." Said the crown prince who read the emperor's decree in a loud voice.

"Thank you for your noble wisdom, may your majesty live a long life." Speak to all the people who listen to the emperor.

From now on the lives of the prime ministers and their families will change, they will no longer feel pride over what they have all along.

After reciting the tita of the emperor, immediately the prime ministers were dragged to serve the sentence that was read by the crown prince for all of them.

Shouts of pain from the prime ministers while receiving the sentence were heard interlinking, and prime minister Yun died after getting 7 blows to his body, as he had previously been handed a sentence from prince Rong.

The punishment they received was still light, because they had done all of that for quite a long time.

"In the end all those prime ministers have got their sentences." Empress An said to Xiu Ying's daughter.

"That's what they deserve, because they've taken the money of the people and also want the life of an empress."

"So, is the person who wants my life a prime minister?"

Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "Right, she is prime minister Yun. And I heard, he died while receiving a beating sentence by the palace guards."

Empress An was silent, because the punishment in the past and present was not much different. It was just that in the past, people who had committed great crimes like them, would be instantly given a bowl of poison and they would die not long after drinking the poison.

"Empress An, did Li not tell you, who already wants your life?" Xiu Ying's daughter's.

"Right, prince Rong just said that he had found and punished the man who had confronted us, and wanted my life."

"If so, maybe he doesn't want you to worry."

"Right, maybe it's like that."

Princess Xiu Ying looked at Empress An, "I feel like you've changed, are you okay, empress An?" Xiu Ying's daughter's.

"Yes sister-in-law, I'm fine."

"It's good that way, 'cause I feel like you've changed a little bit from before."

"Nothing has changed, I just don't want everyone to continue to worry about me. So I acted like I did before my mother died."

Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "You should indeed be like that, I'm sure in your next life, you will be together again. Because you and Miss Xia are two such good people."

"Thank you brother-in-law."

"Ah, right. Yesterday the queen mother said that prime minister Ho brought his wife and daughter to the palace. Did you know that?"

Empress An nodded, "Yes, I even met and spoke directly with them, when prince Rong invited me to meet them in the palace hall."

"So you were also inside the hall at that time?"

"really. And I'm sure that prime minister Ho's daughter would not like me, because I said something that made her angry at the time."

"He deserved it, prime minister Ho already knew that Li would not make a harem palace. But he deliberately brought his wife and daughter into the palace, to introduce Li."

"With the position of a concubine of a very influential war god within this Chao country, they would naturally continue to suppress, he said, even though they already knew that Prince Rong would never want to have another wife."

Princess Xiu Ying nodded, "You're right, their greedy nature is already very attached."

"Seeing the daughter of prime minister Ho who dislikes me, it is likely that she will do something about it. Even though prime minister Ho himself has banned it."

"If so, you should be more careful. A woman like that is quite dangerous."

"Well, thank you brother-in-law."

Princess Xiu Ying nodded while smiling at Empress An.
