Chapter 293
Great Chu.
Imperial Palace.
Above the main hall.
Civil and military officials, as well as royal relatives, Chu Qingqiu and Chu Xiaotian, all appeared together.
Their eyes were all on the woman in prison clothes in the middle of the main hall.
The woman was a little embarrassed, but she was still elegant and graceful.
As a great family of Great Chu, Pei Xiaoxiang was influenced by etiquette since childhood. Even though she became a prisoner and was judged by everyone today, she did not show any fear. She just looked at Chu Xiaotian with disappointment.
She really had no feelings for Chu Xiaotian.
But after years of getting along, the two of them treated each other with respect, and she did everything she could.
A large part of the reason why Chu Xiaotian can be where he is today is because of her contribution and the support of the Pei family.
But she never thought.
Chu Xiaotian would want to kill her countless times because of a woman named Su Chaqing.
Originally.
She still had hope, but now, there was no hope.
"Pei Xiaoxiang, you must plead guilty!"
Inside the hall.
A prestigious royal relative stood up, opened his eyes, and angrily scolded Pei Xiaoxiang.
The princess had an affair with a beggar.
This is the shame of Da Chu. The entire Da Chu royal family will become a laughing stock of the seven countries.
Pei Xiaoxiang looked up at the man and kept silent.
It's over.
Whether it was done or not, it doesn't matter.
Now any explanation and rebuttal are extremely weak, she just needs to wait quietly for the trial result.
Seeing Pei Xiaoxiang silent, Chu Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Father, since this slut has not denied it, then follow the laws of Da Chu and put her in a pig cage!"
Chu Xiaotian had no expression on his face, only cruelty.
This woman has completely lost his face.
If she didn't die, it would be a stain on his life. Even if he became the emperor of Chu in the future, he would be doomed to be laughed at.
Nangong Tian and the other ministers were attracted by Chu Xiaotian's ruthless words and their eyes fell on him.
Pei Xiaoxiang...
They were not strangers, and they had used tricks to save Chu Xiaotian several times. In the beginning, Chu Xiaotian was not qualified to go to the hall to listen to the government affairs. It was all thanks to Pei Xiaoxiang's advice that he was able to achieve what he has today.
To be honest.
They all knew Pei Xiaoxiang's character. If Chu Xiaotian could really become the emperor of the Great Chu, Pei Xiaoxiang would undoubtedly be the best empress.
Civil and military officials could also rest assured.
There were too many internal doubts about having an affair with a beggar.
So they didn't want Pei Xiaoxiang to die. At most, he would be imprisoned. They never thought that Chu Xiaotian was so cruel and wanted to kill him as soon as he opened his mouth.
On one side.
The royal relative who spoke was also stunned.
They became a laughing stock. Although they were angry, they knew that Pei Xiaoxiang's help to Da Chu was at most to divorce her, drive her back to the Pei family, or put her in prison. As for killing her, they had never thought of it.
For a moment.
Everyone looked at Chu Xiaotian with some worry.
Chu Xiaotian was the most popular candidate for the Emperor of Chu. If he really became the Emperor of Chu, and had such a ruthless side, they, the ministers, would have to live in fear every day.
"King of Chu."
Chu Qingqiu looked at Chu Xiaotian with a calm face and said softly: "You mean, Pei Xiaoxiang must die?"
Chu Xiaotian nodded, "Yes, father."
"Such a fickle woman, the face of the Da Chu royal family has been completely lost by her. If she is not killed, it will be difficult to appease the public anger!"
Chu Qingqiu looked at him deeply, "But... Pei Xiaoxiang and you are husband and wife after all. It has not been easy for us to get here. Do you really want her to die?"
All the officials sighed.
They didn't expect Chu Qingqiu to be so open and aboveboard about Chu Xiaotian.
But Chu Xiaotian's answer shocked everyone.
"Father, Pei Xiaoxiang is indeed my son's princess."
"But the dignity of the Chu royal family is higher than heaven and earth. A slut will die if she dies."
For a long time.
Chu Qingqiu looked at Chu Xiaotian and didn't speak.
The Chu Xiaotian in his memory was not like this now.
Although his mother was a maid, the talent and mind she showed were first-class. She couldn't compare with Ying Yi, but at least she wouldn't become a tyrant.
But now, he has changed beyond all possibility.
Today.
He could kill his wife because of the majesty of the royal family and to please the royal family.
Then in the future, will he kill this old thing for the throne?
The most ruthless is the imperial family.
This sentence is not wrong, but Chu Qingqiu really feels cold from the bottom of his heart for people who don't even have a bottom line.
"Got it, leave now."
Chu Qingqiu waved his hand, then looked around and asked: "Everyone, what do you think should be done with Pei Xiaoxiang?"
"Your Majesty, Pei Xiaoxiang is now"I don't think it's necessary to put her to death. Just put her in the prison and let her reflect for three years. That's enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Pei Xiaoxiang is a princess after all. There is no precedent for killing princesses in Da Chu."
"Your Majesty, this matter is confusing. I hope Your Majesty will punish her leniently."
Everyone stood up and spoke out.
They all felt that Pei Xiaoxiang's crime was not worthy of death. As for how to punish her, it all depends on Chu Qingqiu's decision.
Chu Qingqiu nodded, "Okay, in that case, I have made up my mind."
"Pei Xiaoxiang did such an absurd thing, which is really a heinous crime, but considering that she has made many contributions to Da Chu, the death penalty will be exempted."
"As for how to punish her, I decided to exile her to the Abyss Forest. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck."
"Abyss Forest! "
As soon as the four words came out, except for the excited Chu Xiaotian, the other ministers were horrified.
That place is a dead place.
There are many soul beasts inside, and poisonous gas is everywhere. Chu Qingqiu's actions clearly want Pei Xiaoxiang to die.
But Chu Qingqiu has already spoken, and there is no point in them refuting.
Chu Xiaotian stood up and shouted excitedly, "Father's holy name!"
Seeing this.
The disappointment in Chu Qingqiu's eyes could not be concealed.
Then he waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's withdraw from the court."
He turned his back on all the officials.
Chu Qingqiu's old eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
"Su Chaqing, who are you?"
"Ying Yi, Sima Yu, Jian Yue, and Baili Fujia, even my son, can be fooled by you and are willing to do everything for you."
"How did you do it? "
Chu Qingqiu looked unusually violent.
In the past two days, he had been asking people to check Su Chaqing's past.
If you don't check, you won't know. Once you check, you'll be shocked.
The men around Su Chaqing are all well-known figures without exception.
These men obey her every word.
But he had seen Su Chaqing before. She looked like a prostitute and was not presentable at all.
The men around her were all masters who had no shortage of women. They wanted any kind of women. Why would they rather sacrifice their beloved for her?
Ying Yi was like this, and so was Chu Xiaotian.
Even though Chu Qingqiu was old and dim, he knew that there was something strange about Su Chaqing.
"Interesting, really interesting."
"I want to see what tricks you can come up with! "
Chu Qingqiu smiled grimly.
Whether Chu Xiaotian ascended the throne or not, Su Chaqing would definitely die.
Inside the hall.
Except for Nangong Tian who knew the inside story, the others all felt pity for Pei Xiaoxiang.
Pei Xiaoxiang was elegant and noble. Although her appearance was not as stunning as Feng Luoxi and the other two girls, she was capable and well-educated, and was also a rare match.
I never thought that Chu Xiaotian was so blind.
I would rather choose a woman who was a womanizer than Pei Xiaoxiang.
"Miss Pei, be careful on this trip."
Nangong Tian bowed to her and left the hall immediately.
As the crowd gradually left, a team of soldiers took Pei Xiaoxiang to the prisoner car and rushed towards the Youyuan Forest.
At the same time.
An old man with a hunched back appeared in Rong Mansion.
