The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 699: Execution Ground

Jiang Youzhi only cared about one thing, "When will the emperor approve the memorial and when will the execution take place?"

Generally speaking, death row prisoners of the Great Chu Dynasty are executed uniformly after autumn following multiple approvals.

Jiang Zhongxing chuckled, "Impossible, the longer it drags on, the greater the potential for complications. Lord Zhang will not make that mistake; the execution is immediate."

Jiang Youzhi smiled slightly, "I’ll be there to witness the execution."

He needed to see Yan Beichen die with his own eyes, to guard against any possible trickery.

Jiang Zhongxing patted his shoulder, "It should happen in the next two days. The emperor can’t withstand the pressure and will approve it quickly."

He continued, "By the way, the Jin Country delegation is about to enter the Capital City."

Jiang Youzhi asked, "Is the Jin Country delegation here to discuss the sixteen states of Youyun?"

Jiang Zhongxing nodded, "It would be good if we can buy them back. The sixteen states of Youyun would serve as a geographical barrier for the Capital City; otherwise, the Da Jin could easily charge into the Central Plains."

The father and son talked about national affairs for a while before Jiang Youzhi returned to his room.

Before getting married, Jiang Youzhi had agreed with Yun Jiao that they would first settle the matters of the workshop, and after marriage, they would rest at home for ten days before going back to work.

Jiang Youzhi also took ten days leave from the Imperial College.

Returning to the room, he saw Yun Jiao holding a needle and thread, embroidering.

This was the first time Jiang Youzhi saw her with a needle and thread. He went over for a look. The fabric was blue silk, with a pattern of auspicious flowers. The fabric wasn’t large; it seemed to be for a purse.

He first looked at the front and found it decent; it had some semblance, and the pattern was starting to emerge.

He pulled out the embroidery frame from her hands and was about to put it down when he saw the back of the pattern.

The threads on the back crisscrossed and tangled in various colors, so messy that it was unbearable to look at.

Jiang Youzhi imagined himself reaching into the purse for something, his fingers caught in the threads unable to come out, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Yun Jiao struck him lightly, "You dare to laugh! I won’t give you the purse!"

Jiang Youzhi picked her up in a hug and kissed her on the cheek, "I’m not laughing at you, I’m just happy."

"It’s this time already; let’s go to sleep."

Yun Jiao struck him again, "It’s only early Xu; it’s still quite early!"

Jiang Youzhi lowered his head and blocked her mouth, lifting Yun Jiao onto the bed.

He truly couldn’t wait to stick with Yun Jiao all day long.

No one knew how much time had passed when soft sounds from Yun Jiao emerged in the room, "Enough~"

"Continuing like this will lead to kidney deficiency—"

Then came Jiang Youzhi’s breathless, low voice, "It’s okay, I’ll take some medicine..."

The two spent a few days at home in revelry, which left Yun Jiao’s legs weak when walking, and she resolutely refused Jiang Youzhi’s advances at night.

Jiang Youzhi had to hold her and suddenly remembered the news he received during the day, "Tomorrow, the Yan Family father and son will be executed. I’m going to watch. You stay home and don’t go out."

Yun Jiao hesitated a little, "I want to go too."

Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "Don’t go; I’m afraid you’ll have nightmares after coming back."

Yun Jiao thought for a moment, "With you around, I won’t have nightmares. I want to see."

She also wanted to see Yan Beichen die with her own eyes to feel at ease.

Jiang Youzhi reluctantly said, "Then let’s go together."

He thought to himself, if Jiao Jiao gets scared, he’ll just cover her eyes.

The next day, Yun Jiao dressed in men’s clothes, wrapped head to toe in a cloak, before heading with Jiang Youzhi to the execution ground.

The execution ground was on a vacant lot within the city.

Every year after autumn, those near the Capital City who were to be executed were gathered here for execution. Over time, the soil in the area became stained with a peculiar reddish-brown color.
