A eunuch slowly walked out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, followed by a group of guards. The eunuch from the Vermilion Bird Gate held a golden imperial edict in his hands.
The person who came was the Great Eunuch by the Emperor's side, Xiao Dezi.
"The imperial edict has arrived! Kneel down and receive the imperial edict." Xiao Dezi shouted at everyone in a sharp voice.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live.”Everyone present and the onlookers hurriedly knelt down and shouted three times.
Only then did Xiao Dezi nod his head in satisfaction. He opened the imperial edict and prepared to read it first.
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: I am grateful that heaven and earth have the virtue of cherishing life. Your Highness, the princess, pleaded for mercy for the four of them. The four of them were forced to die by a thousand cuts, but their crimes could be forgiven, and their crimes could not escape. The four of them were sent to the border and became official prostitutes. Send it to the border immediately!" Xiao Dezi slowly read out the contents of the imperial edict.
"Milords, did you hear the contents of the imperial edict clearly? Do you understand the emperor's meaning now?”Xiaode Zi gathered the imperial edict and asked the officials present.
"I wonder why the emperor suddenly changed his mind.”Executioner Zhang asked Xiao Dezi.
"Lord Zhang, I don't know what the emperor is thinking! It's something you and I can guess." Xiao Dezi's expression changed as he looked at Lord Zhang coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I am confused.”Lord Zhang looked terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
"It's good that you understand. Do your job well. The Tian family has their own intentions. As officials, we have to strictly abide by the duties of officials.”Xiaode Zi said in an unfathomable manner.
"This Lord Zhang is really courting death. The emperor had his own intentions, he actually dared to question the emperor! Wasn't this just playing lanterns in the toilet and looking for sh * t?”The few officials who accompanied the execution supervisor thought to themselves.
"The few of you immediately escort these four prisoners to the border.”Xiao Dezi ignored the officials on the execution ground and turned to instruct the guards he had brought.
"Yes, Eunuch!" A few guards hurriedly went forward to untie the ropes on the four women and immediately escorted them out of the Vermilion Bird Gate.
"Milords, I have already conveyed the emperor's decree. Now that I should return to the palace to report to the emperor, I will take my leave first.”Xiao Dezi flung his horsetail whisk and walked towards the Imperial Palace with the imperial edict in his left hand.
After Xiao Dezi left for a while, Princess Zhao Qingya hurried to the execution ground.
"Strange, Lord Zhang, what is going on? Where is he? Where did he go?" The princess had rushed over to save him, but! At this moment, he couldn't see anyone, so he asked Lord Zhang in confusion.
"Your Highness, you're late. Just now, Eunuch De had come by the Emperor's decree to pardon the four of them for their death penalty and escort them to the border. Weird, Your Highness, weren't you the one who pleaded with the Emperor? Only then did the emperor agree." Lord Zhang felt that his brain was a little lacking at this moment.
"I did plead with Imperial Father, but! Father didn't agree." The princess was even more confused.
"This lowly official doesn't know. Eunuch De is here on the emperor's orders, so! I have no choice but to let her go, right, Your Highness?”Lord Zhang said helplessly.
"Oh no, it's Wu Tian…Wu Tian is back. He was proficient in the art of disguise, so he must have changed into Eunuch De's appearance and come to the execution ground to receive the tribulation. How could you be so stupid to let him leave with four people so easily?”The princess was furious and scolded all the officials present.
"Your Highness, what did you say? That person is Wu Tian." All the officials present broke out in cold sweat.
"What did I say? I said that that person is Wu Tian. Why are we still here? Send someone to seal the city gate and capture Wu Tian.”The princess was shocked by the expressions of all the officials. He quickly ordered everyone to immediately carry out the order and close all the city gates to capture Wu Tian.
"Men, immediately order all the city guards to close the city gates. We have to capture Wu Tian. If he escapes, all of us will be in trouble.”Lord Zhang anxiously stomped his feet and ordered loudly.
"Yes, sir. This subordinate will do it now.”The few officials present hurriedly turned around and ran, immediately carrying out Lord Zhang's orders.
"Wu Tian, hehe…Let's see how you're going to escape this time. There was a path to heaven, but you didn't take it. There was no door to hell, but you barged in. Haha! Let's see what you can do this time." The princess was happy.
"After the princess catches Wu Tian, what are you going to do with him?”Qin Xiaoxue asked Zhao Qingya nervously.
"Little Xue, I told you not to get too involved. Wu Tian has already defected to the enemy and is no longer a member of the Great Zhou Empire. Of course, he would be thrown into the imperial prison and executed after autumn.”The princess said coldly.
"It seems that the princess 'heart has been broken by Wu Tian. What should we do?”Qin Xiaoxue was secretly worried for Wu Tian.
"Where are you taking us? Why is this direction a little wrong?" Jin Xiaoqing said to the guards.
At this moment, the guards did not say anything at all. They brought the four of them into a room and handed them a set of clothes to quickly change.
Although the four of them were a little puzzled, they were still confused. She quickly changed into her clothes.
After changing their clothes, a few guards quickly led the four of them out of the city gate. When they reached the middle of a street, there was a person in bright yellow clothes in the middle of the road. There were nearly 900 guards waiting there.
"We're finished!" Jin Xiao Qing and Zhou Mei Xian's hearts sank.
"This lowly servant greets the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live.”Jin Xiaoqing, Zhou Meixian, Liu Xiaohuan, and Chen Qiaoer hurriedly bowed to the Great Zhou Empire's ruler.
"Stand up. You guys get up first. I have something to deal with outside the city, so I'll follow you!”The Great Zhou Empire's ruler turned around and spoke with a cold tone.
"Thank you, Lord!" Only then did the four women stand up.
What did they see? They saw the ruler of the Great Zhou Empire. They were waiting for them there, and they had a vague guess! These guards must have come to rescue them. They didn't expect that the Dynasty Lord had already expected them to escape and was specially here to stop them.
"How is it? Is everything settled now? We can set off. If we delay any longer, there will definitely be problems.”The Great Zhou Emperor said to the guards.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything had been arranged properly, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.”A guard in golden armor said to the Great Zhou Empire's ruler.
"Alright, then let's leave the city!" After the Great Zhou Emperor finished speaking, he brought more than 1000 guards and walked towards the city gate.
Jin Xiao Qing and Zhou Mei Xian were confused, they didn't understand what was going on. At this moment, he could only follow the thousand-plus guards out of the city gate in a daze.
