The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 136
This morning the courtyard of the palace hall was filled with an all-white view. Not because of the time of mourning but will be given punishment for sinners. Pei Qin Yang was at the very front. Only his face looked calm compared to others who were as kneeling as he was. Moreover, Zhu Man Xie who had a face like a person who had extremely concentrated killing intent.
Today everyone in King Yuan's residence will be punished for the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Not everyone has anything to do with this, there are very few people. But that mistake still had to be accepted by everyone who was inside the residence. Even the servants and guards.
It was actually possible not to involve the Yuan King's residence. That was the way Pei Qin Yang had to divorce Zhu Man Xie first. You can survive this disaster. But Pei Qin Yang insisted on defending Zhu Man Xie so that the entire residence should accept his punishment
The emperor sat on his throne expressionlessly. Like the one kneeling before him was not one of his beloved sons. But if one were to notice the Emperor's chest that occasionally moved as he sighed, one would know that the Emperor was actually struggling to hold back his emotions. Who is the parent who will inflict punishment on his own biological son?
While sitting beside her, Queen Zhu looked pale. Her eyes were reddening withstanding tears and anger. He could not see the face of his beloved son who was kneeling in white clothes like a sinner. His hands clenched tightly behind his sleeves to hold back the tears that were about to fall. Although she desperately wanted to approach her son and embrace him. Lifting her up to stand up not to kneel again, but her position as first lady who must participate in maintaining justice makes her have to refrain from staying calm in place.
"His Majesty the Emperor. I beg you to grant leniency to His Majesty King Yuan." A minister kneels in front of a stopover begging for mercy for Pei Qin Yang. He was the minister Zhu who was the father of Zhu Man xie. Zhu Yao Yan was just silently watching his granddaughter and granddaughter kneel in the courtyard of the court.
"Please grant His Majesty relief."
"Please give me some light."
"Please give me some light."
One by one the ministers knelt down in front of the Emperor's throne. No one asked them to do it. They do it out of their own will. Seeing an innocent prince kneel before everyone in the white clothes of a criminal. Even Lu Qin Hao who felt very angry when one by one Zhu Man xie's crimes were read out also knelt down to beg for leniency. He knelt down not for Zhu Man Xie but Pei Qin Yang.
Emotional ripples flashed in Pei Qin Yang's eyes looking at this scene. He did not expect that these ministers would help him. Pei Qin Yang had long since given up if he would be sentenced to death along with everyone in his residence. He had even allowed everyone in his residence to come out avoiding punishment. But none of them came out of his residence even though he had told them that if they chose to stay, they might get the death penalty.
"Huuf. King Yuan was unable to take care of his residence only then could this sort of thing happen. If this mistake is left to chance, it will be a bad example in the future. A great evil like this is afraid that it cannot be forgiven. The death penalty is the lightest." Emperor Pei An Long looked at Pei Qin Yang expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty. Please have mercy, Your Majesty." Once again everyone knelt down once more. This time they did it many times.
"If this matter were to spread in the society, it was afraid that the people would judge the Kingdom to be unfair since King Yuan was a prince. Although everyone was asking for leniency, fearing it would still not be enough to avoid punishment. Eunuch Song, please write my decision." The Emperor glanced at Eunuch Song who was waiting beside him.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Song advanced respectfully. Everyone shakes their head. Pei Qin Yang let out a guilty sigh as he glanced at everyone in his residence hang kneeling behind him. They're all innocent. But by choice they could be punished with disrespect.
Zhu Man Xie had no change in expression other than the emotions peaking on his face. At this moment he still could not give up on his ego. He will not kneel down to ask for forgiveness because it will only be in vain.
"Wait!" A man's voice sounded from behind. Everyone recognized whose voice it was even though they did not see his face.
Everyone gives way by splitting. Pei Zhang Xi walked slowly as he had to pick up Lu Jing Yu who was walking withstanding the pain. Behind them, the nanny Aunt held their baby who was walking with Xiao Bei holding an umbrella in her hand.
