Chapter 352: Couldn ‘t Hold On

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Si saw the Heavenly Garrison Army’s personal guards outside the cell, he perked up.

The Heavenly Garrison Army was the personal army of the British Monarchy.

They were the cream of the crop and had been personally trained by the British Dukes. They had always been loyal to the British Monarchy.

His brother-in-law had brought the Heavenly Garrison Army’s personal guards to pick him up. Even the Embroidered Uniform Guards couldn’t stop him!

His younger sister indeed had a way to coax his brother-in-law.

“Let’s go,” Fang Huairui said ambiguously to Yu Si and turned around. To Yu Si, these two words were equivalent to an affirmative answer.

My brother-in -law is indeed here to pick me up!

Yu Si straightened his back even more and glanced cynically at He Lie outside the cell. He sighed and said, “Brother-in-law, the Yu Family was wronged. The Emperor was deceived by a traitor and forced me to confess. ‘

“The Yu and Fang families are one family. We can’t let this matter go just like that!”

His words were impassioned. What he meant was that the Emperor dared to treat the Yu Family like this because he didn’t take the British Monarchy seriously. What he wanted was for the British Duke to stand up for the Yu Family.

The word “idiot” was already on Fang Huairui’s lips, but he swallowed it in the end.

The thick beard on Fang Huairui’s face covered the disdain on his lips. His eyes were cold and filled with disgust. He thought to himself, ‘This uncle-in-lavvof mine really doesn’t know the immensity ofheaven and earth. Even at this point, hes still daydreaming and wants to turn the tables on the Emperor!’

Such an idiot actually wants to rebel?!

Could he have been instigated by someone…

The corners of Fang Huairui’s mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to gesture to the Heavenly Garrison Army soldiers behind him. He raised his voice and said coldly, ‘Take him away!”

Yu Si was at a loss, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Two personal guards of the Heavenly Garrison Army walked into the cell with their heads held high and forcefully escorted Yu Si out. At the same time, the other two personal guards escorted Shangqing out of another cell.

Fang Huairui politely cupped his hands at He Lie. ‘Goodbye.”

” ” He Lie watched Fang Huairui and the others leave with a complicated expression.

People like the British Duke and the Duke of Cheng, who had followed Emperor Taizu to establish the country, had always been arrogant, but today, the British Duke was actually so polite to him. It was obvious who he was doing this for.

The Eldest Prince had some tricks up his sleeve.

He Lie pondered as he came out of Zhao Prison.

The warm winter sun hung high in the blue sky. The sunlight shone directly at him, and it was a little dazzling. He Lie couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

“Commander.” An Embroidered Uniform Guards rushed over and reported, “Xiao Shoufu is here.”

Xiao Shoufu was the current Cabinet Grand Secretary and was also the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Officials.

In the last few years of the previous Emperor’s reign, his dragon body was getting worse and worse. However, he didn’t let the Crown Prince rule the country. Instead, he let the Grand Secretary handle court affairs. Xiao Shoufu controlled the cabinet and had monstrous authority. He wasn’t a prime minister, but he had shockingly become a “true prime minister.”

“Oh, what a rare guest.” He Lie raised his thick black eyebrows, not surprised. Fang Zheng raised his chin slightly and looked in the direction of the door.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the Northern Town Bureau. Seven or eight carriages surrounded the street, and the air was filled with gunpowder. “British Duke, this case is still inconclusive. How can we execute him now?!’

A majestic voice came from a two-horse black carriage with a carved flat roof. The curtains on one side of the carriage were lifted halfway, revealing an old face.

It was an old man in his sixties. He had a goatee on his chin and a few deep ravines between his brows. He looked at Fang Huairui outside the carriage with a solemn expression.

The Grand Secretary came from the Xiao Family of Qingzhou. He hadn’t taken the imperial examination, but had been recommended by the Yuan Family and personally invited by the late Emperor to become an official.

From then on, he rose to the top. In just five years, he entered the cabinet.

Outside the carriage, a few officials from aristocratic families blocked Fang

Huairui’s way and echoed righteously,

“Lord Xiao is right. There are many suspicious points in this case. How can we execute him just like that?’

“British Duke, you’re too impatient. ‘

“For ‘someone’ to be in such a hurry to carry out the execution, I believe

‘someone’ is trying to hide something.”

As soon as these officials heard the news that the Eldest Prince had ordered the execution of the British officials, they immediately rushed over. They were afraid that if they arrived any later, Yu Si’s head would fall to the ground. Then, they wouldn’t have to fight over whether to protect the Yu Family or the Feng

Family.

‘What did you say?’ Yu Si, who was beside the prison wagon, asked in a high-pitched voice with a pale face.

My brother-in-law isn’t here to save me at all.

He’s here to take my life!
