Mad Queen

Chapter 17 Punishment
The emperor snorted coldly and sat with his sleeves thrown, his pupils shrinking: "Tie Zhou has no morals and no form. He insulted the prince while drunk. The crime is unforgivable. He will be sent to the prison for retrial at another day! Gu Niancheng has no dignity in his eyes, lynching hands, disturbing order ..."

There was a slight pause in his voice, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then he drank heavily.

"Thinking of his achievements and achievements, he is outstanding, and he is ordered to deprive him of his position as a guard, to take away his salary for three years, to send his whole family to Xizidang, and to be slaves for three years. After three years, he can be used as appropriate!!"

"Your Majesty, don't!!" With a reckless shout, General Zuo Chan knelt down first: "Your Majesty, Gu Niancheng is in charge of the Imperial Guards in Kyoto. He has always been conscientious, dedicated, and loyal! Besides, we all have to see what happened today." Clearly, it was Tie Zhou who molested Mrs. Gu first, and Gu Niancheng, as a husband, should protect his wife, and it would be a matter of urgency to teach him a lesson..."

"That's right, Your Majesty, Gu Niancheng is certainly wrong, but the fault is excusable. Please think twice, Your Majesty..."

"Please take it back, Your Majesty..."

"Forget the emperor to think twice!!"

"..."

All the ministers knelt down and begged for mercy, hoping that the emperor would forgive him.

Gu Ziwan sighed softly in her heart - it's fine if these people don't intercede, but if they intercede, the emperor will be even more furious.

As a monarch, the most fearful thing is that the courtiers will collude with each other, befriend each other in private, and sway the imperial power.

Now their intercession will only make the emperor afraid of Gu Niancheng's connections, and thus strengthen his heart of punishment.

Sure enough, the emperor's face was extremely ugly: "Gu Niancheng, it seems that you are very popular, and half of the courtiers have pleaded for you!!"

Gu Niancheng knelt up and kowtowed: "Your Majesty!! The sinners deserve their crimes. I dare not ask the emperor to forgive me. I just ask the emperor to see that my nephew is weak and my daughter is still young. Don't punish them. Xizidang!!"

Xizidang, located in the barren part of the western frontier, is the place where officials ordered by the imperial court were exiled.

Nine out of ten officials who were once exiled would die there due to hunger, cold, and disease.

Hua Linlang was trembling all over, but she still supported her body and kowtowed.

"No, the concubine is willing to live and die with her husband, and never leave her!!"

"Lin Lang!!" Gu Niancheng's heart ached.

He also didn't want to be separated from his wife and daughter, but Xizidang would be a road of no return, and he didn't want his family to die there.

Hua Linlang stubbornly shook her head, with a determination on her face.

"Niancheng, no matter life or death, I will be with you!!"

"Okay! This emperor will fulfill you!!" The emperor yelled angrily, shaking his sleeves and stood up: "Come here, escort Gu Niancheng's family to Xizidang overnight, seal up Gu's family, and anyone who begs for mercy, we will go to Xizidang to share weal and woe!!"

Zuo Chan and the others still begged for love, but Gu Niancheng stopped him with his eyes.

The emperor's golden mouth has been opened, and he will never change it.

In the prison car, Gu Ziwan curled up in her mother's arms and was hugged tightly by her father.

He caressed his wife and daughter, choking with guilt: "I'm sorry, Lin Lang...it's all my fault that I couldn't hold my breath, and caused you to suffer with me!!"

The man did not flick his tears lightly, but he still couldn't hold back the tears.

Hua Linlang chuckled and shook her head, her eyes were determined: "Nian Cheng, you are my husband, my god, wherever you are, I will be right there, but...it's hard for Wan'er and Yan'er..."

Gu Ziwan didn't take it seriously—compared to the desolation and separation of flesh and blood in the previous life, at least their family is still alive together.

It's just that the fate of the previous life has changed, and what kind of fate is waiting for her in this life! !
