Chapter 301: Extrajudicial

"Sir, you think too much..." Mo Yan was speechless. After handing the letter to Ye Wanqing, he said to Chu Anlan, "Sir, what Lord Gu wrote in the letter is about the case of Prince Duan."

"So it's not..."

I feel like cursing recently...

Chu Anlan felt quite regretful.

He tilted his head and moved closer to Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing read the letter and looked up: "The case of Prince Duan's rebellion has been settled.

Many years ago, Prince Duan failed to judge people and was deceived by the wandering sorcerer Duanmu Lei, and began to take elixirs and practice Taoism.

Later, with the indulgence of Prince Duan, the sorcerer Duanmu Lei became extremely powerful but was not satisfied, and began to think about rebellion.

Over the years, Duanmu Lei has been adding drugs that control people's minds into elixirs and giving them to Prince Duan, Princess Duan, and Prince Duan's son.

When the time is right, use the elixir to control Prince Duan to rebel.

Duanmu Lei admitted his crime and gave away the drug that controlled people's minds, which has been verified by the six ministries.

Duanmu Lei and several sorcerers who accompanied him closely were sentenced to death along with their entire clans and were to be executed after the Autumnal Equinox.

Prince Duan was stupid and ignorant, and could not judge people well. He was manipulated by treacherous people and committed the crime of treason. As the wife of Prince Duan, Princess Duan not only failed to do her duty of persuading him, but was also manipulated by the sorcerer with elixirs to provide financial support for the rebellion...

Prince Duan and his wife will be executed together in the autumn.

The prince of Duan, Chu Xiaoyan, was stripped of his royal surname, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Fangling County.

Princess Liao of Prince Duan's marriage to Chu Xiaoyan is annulled, she is demoted to a commoner, and must leave the capital from today onwards, and she is not allowed to return to the capital in her lifetime...

The General of the Western Expedition was sentenced to death, the Liao family was exiled, and within three generations they were not allowed to serve as officials or generals, and his wife’s family was exiled…”

Ye Wanqing took a deep breath and exhaled.

Although saving Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyu was expected, Ye Wanqing still breathed a sigh of relief: "Fuyu and Xiaoyan are saved, but... they will be separated as a couple after all."

Chu Anlan's eyes, which had just been wet in the morning, were dyed red again: "Being alive is the best outcome."

Ye Wanqing said with tears in her eyes: "Well..."

It is a blessing to be alive.

Lovers will meet again sooner or later even if they are separated by thousands of miles of water and mountains.

If they love each other...

"Fangling County, isn't that a deserted city on the border?" Chu Anlan said, "There is a huge quarry over there.

Most of the stones used to build city walls and pave streets in various parts of the Western Wei Dynasty came from Fangling County.”

"Yes." Ye Wanqing said: "That is the imperial court's quarry, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Except for the guards, all the people working there were exiled criminals, all in shackles. "

"Will cousin Xiaoyan... also be put in shackles? Will he be whipped and bullied?"

A crying voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan turned around at the same time.

It was seen that not only Ye Chenxi was standing at the door, but also Chu Shengxi, Chu Shaozhen and Liu Rushi.

The four of them didn't know how long they stood there, and all of them had red eyes.

Ye Wanqing clenched the letter in her hand and then released it: "Chen Xi..."

"Wow..." Ye Chenxi cried out: "I knew that he was a prince who lived a life of luxury, how could he not be bullied if he went to a place like that?

What’s more, he is the son of a treasonous criminal…”

He burst into tears.

Chu Shengxi tried to hold back, but couldn't help crying, "Will Xiaoyan still be able to get out of there alive?
Will I ever see him again in this life?"

"I'm going to kill those people!" Ye Chenxi cried and gritted her teeth: "My cousin Xiaoyan is not the prince anymore, but I'm still the eldest princess's son! If anyone dares to touch my cousin Xiaoyan, I'll kill them!"

"Count me in!" Chu Shengxi wiped his tears: "I am the future King of Dongping, what's wrong with killing a few exiled criminals?" The two hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Behind him, Chu Shaozhen's eyes were red and he turned his back.

Liu Rushi raised his sleeves to wipe his tears.

Seeing them like this, Chu Anlan's eyes turned red, and he smiled as he said, "Why are you crying? Chu Xiaoyan hasn't left Beijing yet!

Besides, his martial arts skills are the best among our group, and it is no problem for him to pass the martial arts exam..."

Before he could finish his words, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

Chu Xiaoyan...should have been able to take the top martial arts exam.

He was the most outstanding among their group of royal family children. He was good at literature and martial arts, brave and resourceful, and had both talent and appearance...

He has been arrogant since he was a child.

However, in order to rebel, his father forced him to disguise himself as a playboy, blend in with the playboys, and do things he didn't like.

He likes studying and practicing martial arts, but his father wants him to be a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in front of everyone.

How sad must he be during the Spring Examination?
Originally, he could have scored better than anyone else and become a good official with a promising future, but he could only get mediocre results, which concealed people's hearts...

He could have lived a bright and glorious life, but was forced to become a traitor.

Even the surname was taken back...

How sad must he be?
Chu Anlan felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, leaving it empty, cold and painful.

It hurt more than the day when Lu Jilian shot him with an arrow.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head away sharply.

The four people at the gate of the courtyard couldn't help sobbing. They hugged each other and cried inconsolably.

Ye Wanqing lowered her head and discovered that her nails had already pierced through the letter paper.

She wiped the moisture from her eyelashes, sighed softly, and then spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'll arrange for someone to go and take care of it in advance.

If Xiaoyan goes there, someone will take care of him.

After a year or so, I will find a way to take him away."

"The court will definitely keep a close watch on him. Can they really take him away?" Chu Shaozhen asked, "What if the emperor blames us?"

"Yes." Liu Rushi gradually calmed down: "Xiaoyan is a wanted criminal of the court, and someone will definitely watch over him one by one.

What if I save the son of a treasonous criminal and end up being accused of the same crime? "

Ye Wanqing was silent.

At this time, Gu Chen's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "I know you are eager to save people, but, for a year or so, don't think about it.

Since ancient times, treason has been a serious crime.

The Emperor has pardoned the Prince of Duan and his wife from death, which is already a pardon outside the law.

Saving people now would be a slap on the emperor’s face.

No matter how merciful the emperor is, he will not remain indifferent to this."

"Then what should we do?" Ye Chenxi asked angrily, "Then we're just going to ignore cousin Xiaoyan?
We are here to discuss rescuing people. It would be fine if you didn't help, but why are you throwing cold water on us?"

Ye Wanqing scolded him lightly: "Chen Xi! Speak properly!"

Ye Chenxi: “Woo…”

Gu Chen walked slowly into the yard: "I didn't say I wouldn't save anyone."

"Then what did you mean by what you said just now?" Ye Chenxi's eyes were red: "Didn't you tell us not to have any thoughts?"

Gu Chen: "...I mean, saving an exiled person is no small matter, and requires thorough preparation."

Ye Chenxi sobbed: "Cousin Xiaoyan has a name, he is not called the Exile!"

"Brother, please speak properly." Ye Wanqing said at the right time: "Doctor Gu is your master, you must not contradict him."
