章 668: Killing Oneself (1)

On the third day after Lord Jing's execution, all the officials above the third rank were dragged to the market to be beheaded.

It was worth mentioning that as Consort Jing, Shen Ruyun was not spared either. In the end, a three-foot-long white silk ended her short life.

The other person was Shangguan Yao. It was true that the emperor was angry at Lord Jing, but he still wanted his reputation. It was impossible for him to kill his other son, who had done nothing.

Coupled with the advice of the court officials, Shangguan Yao was acquitted.

The first thing Shangguan Yao did when he came out was to beg the emperor to let him adopt Shangguan Pu's son under his name.

Thinking that the eldest grandson of the emperor was still young, the emperor agreed. However, he really did not want to see the two of them loitering in front of him, so the last imperial edict banished him to a fief.
