Chapter 790 Postscript, Xiao Ling's World (Twenty-Eight)"Is everything over?" Looking at the unfamiliar faces surrounding the residence, Xu Huixin knew that Si Hengnian had lost.
Why? Why couldn't he just listen to her? Why did he have to go this far? If he had just been quiet, the child wouldn't have to suffer this.
At this moment, Xu Huixin had completely forgotten how she had told Si Hengnian that she must take revenge when the Prime Minister's Mansion was ransacked. Si Hengnian's ambition had always existed, but if it weren't for her, he would not have acted so quickly, and would not have been defeated so quickly and miserably.
"I want to see Feng Shao."
Zhou Yuqing slowly approached: "Princess Xun, let me remind you that you are just a criminal now, you can't see whoever you want."
Xu Huixin's expression changed again and again: "Have you told him? You didn't report it, so how do you know he didn't see me? After all, he and I are old acquaintances."
"Then may I ask why Princess Xun wants to meet General Feng? Do you want him to spare Prince Xun's life out of consideration for your past friendship, or do you want him to accept you into the inner court?"
Zhou Yuqing sneered: "No matter what the request is, don't you think you are not qualified to ask it now? Think about how much shame you and Prince Xun have brought to the General's Mansion, and how Prince Xun secretly plotted against the General's Mansion. If Prince Xun wins this time, do you think he will spare Feng Shao?"
Xu Huixin bit her lip: "Then I will still plead for Feng Shao."
"If Princess Xun was truly kind, she should have called off the engagement when she was with Prince Xun, instead of just watching everyone laugh at the General's Mansion."
Xu Huixin's face turned red and then pale: "Have I not been blamed?"
Zhou Yuqing didn't know what to say, and almost rolled his eyes without caring about his gentlemanly manners: "Just because you've been hurt, can the harm caused to others by your mistakes be ignored?"
He could almost conclude that this woman and Si Hengnian must have done something even more outrageous to the General's Mansion in their previous life, otherwise his stepmother would not have chosen to cancel the engagement so immediately.
There is no need to continue talking to such people. Communication is really difficult and a waste of energy.
"Although Princess Xun is a serious criminal, she is being held separately because of her status."
"Yes."
"You let me see Hengnian, but Feng Shao doesn't want to see me. Can't you let me see Hengnian? How can you be so heartless? Why do you servants act on your own? If Feng Shao knew, he would definitely not treat me like this." Xu Huixin struggled and shouted, but was quickly pulled away by the old woman.
"Princess, you should think carefully about the child in your belly and stop struggling in vain. If you had persuaded Prince Xun properly instead of putting the hatred for the destruction of the Prime Minister's Mansion on Prince Xun, Prince Xun would not have rebelled so quickly, right?"
Xu Huixin seemed to be deflated in an instant. Yes, if she had been able to give some advice when the incident happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, perhaps Hengnian would not have been so reckless. After all, she was also wrong.
Zhou Yuqing was a very meticulous person, so all the tedious matters after defeating Si Hengnian could be handed over to him to handle, in an orderly and comprehensive manner.
Feng Shao led his personal soldiers to support the eldest prince and the second prince. In fact, he didn't need to take any action at all. Although many strategic locations were attacked by Jing State due to Si Hengnian's betrayal, the martial arts value of the two was too high. They captured the enemy's vanguard and generals directly like they were in an empty space, and burned the food and grass. How could people play this game?
Therefore, when Feng Shao arrived, several crises had been resolved in time, and the reputation of the two princes at the border also increased sharply. Not only the soldiers, but also the people were excited. The two princes were so powerful, no matter which one succeeded to the throne in the future, why worry about Jingguo's rebellion?
Afterwards, Feng Shao pursued the enemy in victory until he approached the capital of Jing Kingdom, but stopped only when a heavy snowstorm blocked the city.
When the news reached the capital, it was almost the end of the year. Afterwards, several people, in accordance with the imperial edict of His Majesty, escorted Si Hengnian to the capital.
Because of the previous war, Si Hengnian's reputation had fallen into the mud at this time. The people at the border never imagined that the god of war they had always admired would actually sell out their lives and homes to the enemy Jing Kingdom.
Therefore, as the cage holding Si Hengnian moved forward, people kept throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at him. Soon his whole body was covered with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, and he looked miserable.
In fact, Feng Shao did not treat Si Hengnian harshly since he was captured, but Si Hengnian felt that in the current situation, it would be better for him to die.
He did not commit suicide because, firstly, he was afraid that His Majesty would be angry with Hui Xin and the baby in her belly because he did not deal with him personally, and secondly, he wanted to see Hui Xin for the last time.
He knew that Hui Xin was in the carriage in front. At this moment, he suddenly felt grateful for Feng Shao's kindness. It didn't matter if they still had feelings for each other. It didn't matter if Hui Xin devoted herself to him for survival in the future. As long as Hui Xin and the child were fine, if he hadn't provoked Hui Xin's heart, Hui Xin should have married Feng Shao and lived a smooth life.
Si Hengnian thought he was very generous, but he never thought that he wanted to give Xu Huixin to Feng Shao. Did he ask her for consent? Why should she want your woman? She was a woman who had already lost her reputation because she was pregnant with your child.
If Zhou Yuqing knew what he was thinking, she would probably sneer at him again, mocking them for being a couple and having similar ideas.
After Si Hengnian was escorted into the capital, the people of the capital did not believe it at first. Later, they learned that the people at the border were almost invaded by Jing State because of his selfish interests. They were immediately filled with boundless anger. Everyone had supported him so much before, but he actually let down so many people's trust!
What followed was cheers for Feng Shao and the two princes. They didn't expect General Feng to be so powerful that he could challenge Si Hengnian and defeat him easily.
There are also two princes who are good at fighting. This way we don’t have to be afraid of Jing Kingdom anymore.
Everyone thought that Feng Shao would be highly rewarded, but after reporting everything, he was scolded by His Majesty instead. The reason was that he had made a private bet with Si Hengnian. If he won, he would win. If he lost, wouldn't he have to give away the border land and soldiers to Si Hengnian for nothing?
Considering that he will make amends for his mistakes, he will not be held accountable this time. However, he is not suitable to be a general anymore, so all his military power is taken away from him, and he is given a title and is not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial decree.
He was given a title on the surface, but lost his military power and was not given any real position. It was a typical case of promotion in name only and demotion in reality.
But no one resisted, including the eldest prince and the second prince, and no one pleaded for him.
People outside thought that the two princes were afraid of Feng Shao and wanted to prevent him from becoming like Si Hengnian in the future.
In fact, they had anticipated this a long time ago. It didn't matter. The war was almost over anyway, so it was better to take a rest. Seeing His Majesty in this condition, it didn't seem like he would live long. Once this man died, wouldn't they have the final say in the future affairs of the court?
Feng Shao himself also felt relieved and it was better for him to stay in the capital. If he had stayed at the border all the time, his mother would have been taken away by these people.
Why? Why couldn't he just listen to her? Why did he have to go this far? If he had just been quiet, the child wouldn't have to suffer this.
