My Wife is a Psychic-Chapter 263 - Golden
263 Golden
“You’re both going to be beheaded, but your head is worthless. You’re different from Lord Jiang Xi. Lord Jiang Xi’s head is golden, but yours… At most, it’s just a head.” The officer waved his hand. He felt that Jiang Xi was a capable person. She would make whoever she caught prosperous. How could such a person lose her head? In any case, he did not quite believe it, especially after what had happened last night. Jiang Xi had eaten too much last night and had tossed and turned on the soft bed. She was mumbling something. “So noisy, so noisy, where did you come from? So noisy, so noisy that I can’t sleep well… “Then, not long after, the entire prison was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
The officers felt a chill down their spines. They hugged each other tightly. They were afraid! To her surprise, Jiang Xi still could not sleep well even though there was no movement. “Hey, it’s so hot. Why is it still so hot in autumn? Can it rain a little? It’s so hot, so hot…” Jiang Xi kept mumbling. Then, thunder rumbled outside and the wind howled, causing the tree branches to crack. The more she mumbled about the heat, the stronger the wind became. Even the officers in the prison were frightened, let alone the people outside. It was like an anxious father fanning his daughter, regardless of the life and death of others!
Sure enough, this morning, both inside and outside of Jing City, there was a tragic scene of being ravaged. It was said that the dragon head of the throne room in the palace had been blown off by the wind. The palace maids and eunuchs were so scared that they knelt on the ground and trembled. They all said that the heavens were furious.
After breakfast, the emperor went to the temple hall to apologize to his ancestors. He thought that he had messed up the royal bloodline and that the matter between him and Zhao Panpan was intolerable. Little did he know that it was the worried old father who was fanning the flames for his daughter!
“Your Majesty, today, the Pure Consort will personally go out of the palace to execute the people of the Zhao family. They will be executed at a quarter to four in the afternoon.” The eunuch came forward to report. The emperor was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Ever since the birth of his child, he did not know how to face Zhao Panpan. As long as Zhao Panpan did not harm the country, he would agree to anything. He was filled with guilt toward Zhao Panpan, but he could not regret it. He did not even dare to tell anyone, so he could only let Zhao Panpan stay in the palace.
“The person sent to replace Zhao Ruifeng has arrived, right?” The Emperor looked at the memorial and muttered in his heart.
“He arrived three days ago. I’m afraid he’s already taken over the military power in General Zhao’s hands. So even if the matter of the Zhao family reaches General Zhao’s ears, he can’t do anything.” What the eunuch did not say was that he did not know if the people he sent were as good as Zhao Ruifeng’s troops.
The emperor threw away the memorial and lay back, sighing. The empress’s actions had really screwed him over!
The empress would probably say, “You’re lamenting too early!”
At this time, the emperor was also having a headache. He did not know if he was really old and should abdicate. These few days, strange things had been happening frequently in the palace. It was as if the heavens were throwing rotten eggs at him and making him get off the stage. This feeling was too obvious. Outside the royal study, outside the throne room, outside the bedroom, it was all bird poop and bird feathers. Even the bird nest under the eaves had been moved away, as if it disliked his place. Today, even the dragon head outside the main hall had been blown off. It was as if the heavens were so exasperated that they were too lazy to throw eggs and had thrown stones instead!
There was still more than an hour left until a quarter past noon when the eunuch outside the hall suddenly announced, “The imperial preceptor has arrived!”
At this moment, the Zhao family’s people were also being escorted to the execution ground. The members of the Zhao family were all shackled, wearing shackles and prison clothes. They had a meal and slowly walked out of the prison under the gaze of others.
“Your prison clothes are custom-made. Take a look, the material is the best. The waist area is also packed, and the side has an embroidery pattern. It looks very unique. The officers smiled at Jiang Xi and said, “You really don’t want to think about choosing a burial place first? And then take care of the coffin shop’s business?” The officer was still unwilling to give up and wanted to make more money. He felt that it would be a pity if Jiang Xi died.
Seeing that Jiang Xi did not answer, the officer shook his head. “Forget it, I found someone else to make your shackles. The wood is made of agarwood, which was sponsored by Boss Liu at the east of the city. The locks were sponsored by the gold shop. You don’t have to be afraid. This isn’t against the rules. We’ve discussed it before.”
As soon as the shackles were put on, the people of the Zhao family immediately covered their eyes. Under the hot sun, wearing such a big lump of gold was a little glaring.
