The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 702: Jin Country Envoy Delegation
The Emperor, upon hearing there was major intelligence concerning the Yuyun Sixteen Prefectures, hurriedly said, "Relay my command, hold off on the execution, let me inquire about it first before proceeding."
At this moment, Empress Zheng was also present. She reminded, "Your Majesty, it is already three quarters past noon, even if one gallops swiftly to pass on the message, it will still be too late."
The Emperor glanced at the sundial, stomped his foot, and angrily rebuked the soldier, "Why did you not come earlier?"
The soldier prostrated himself silently on the ground.
He understood the Emperor’s words were not truly questioning him, but merely a form of venting.
Hence, there was no need to argue, as arguing would be futile.
Empress Zheng softly said, "It’s nothing major, surely Yan Beichen is speaking nonsense seeking to survive."
The Emperor nodded, "What you say makes sense."
He sighed, waved his hand, "Go, if the execution has not commenced over there, relay my command."
The Emperor actually felt somewhat regretful. The Jin State delegation is arriving in the capital in the next couple of days to negotiate matters regarding the Yuyun Sixteen Prefectures, with Yan Beichen being shrewd and resourceful, if the negotiation includes him, things would surely be much easier, and some troublesome matters could be solved.
Alas, what a pity!
The soldier exited the palace gate, glanced at the sun overhead, then leisurely headed toward the execution ground.
At this moment on the execution ground, Mr. Wang’s order had fallen on the ground, the necks of the Yan Family father and son’s were drawn long, the executioner raised the large blade.
With a swift stroke, two heads rolled to the ground.
The Yan Family father and son only had their bodies left kneeling on the ground, above the body was a bloody cavity.
At the instant the blade struck down, Jiang Youzhi covered Yun Jiao’s eyes, then pulled her away.
Yun Jiao did not insist on witnessing the heads fall, obediently she followed Jiang Youzhi and left.
As they reached the side of the street, about to board the carriage, Yun Jiao suddenly turned her head.
She saw Yang Ying standing nearby, seemingly also prepared to board a carriage.
She smiled at Yun Jiao, deeply bowed in courtesy, then boarded the carriage and left.
Returning home, Yun Jiao was alright, since she did not see the gruesome scene, she felt no discomfort, on the other hand, Jiang Youzhi experienced nausea, not due to fear, but purely psychological discomfort.
A few days later, Yun Jiao resumed her life of visiting the workshop and Renxin Hall every few days.
Unlike before, she no longer needed to bring fifty personal soldiers along.
Nowadays, it was only Dia, Lei Ying, and Lei Xia accompanying her.
This noon, Yun Jiao was planning to go to Renxin Hall to have lunch with her father after leaving the workshop, but upon turning onto a main street, she discovered the street was densely crowded with people, at least two to three times more than usual.
The carriage’s progress also became difficult.
Yun Jiao lifted a corner of the curtain to observe the situation outside, just as she was about to ask Lei Ying to inquire what was happening, suddenly several swift horses galloped over, atop them officers loudly shouted, "Pedestrians keep to the side! The Jin State delegation arrives!"
The pedestrians crowded to the side of the street, the coachman also pulled the carriage safely to the side, Yun Jiao peeked disdainfully through a corner of the curtain to look outside.
After a brief wait, the orderly sound of horse hooves transmitted.
A group of tall Jin State soldiers clad in armor rode on horseback, neatly proceeding in three rows down the main street.
Seemingly to display the majesty of Jin State, the soldier at the forefront rode while holding a flag.
Behind the soldier followed a General, the horse of the General was exceptionally majestic, the General wore pitch-black armor, a long sword hung at his waist, even from a distance, Yun Jiao could feel an imposing aura emanating toward her.
As the troop slowly approached, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the General on horseback, her heart slightly jolted.
The General on horseback was none other than Wanyan Zhang, whom she had seen twice before in Xiang City!
