Chapter 215: The Birth of a Grandson
Chapter 215: The Birth of a Grandson
Peng Xi fainted immediately after hearing this, while Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, I managed to save my life. I'll be in jail, it's better than death.
But when she heard that her daughter was sentenced to be torn apart by five horses, she immediately hugged her and burst into tears.
The judge slammed the gavel again: "Come! Take Peng Xi to the execution ground and execute him immediately! Guo will be tied up and watch the execution!"
Here! Several criminal police officers immediately picked up the unconscious Peng Xi and Guo Shi and drove the police car to the execution ground.
The execution ground was located at the foot of a mountain outside the city, where horses and various torture instruments had already been arranged.
The two were lifted out of the car and thrown to the ground, and Peng Xi was immediately woken up by the fall.
She looked around in horror and yelled, "Mother! Where, where is this! What are they bringing us here for?"
Guo shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Son! Don't ask anymore. Remember to be a good person in your next life!"
After saying this, she closed her eyes in pain. She couldn't bear to watch the flesh and blood that fell from her body die in such a tragic way.
At this time, she regretted going to her grandmother's house. She really shouldn't have had the idea of poisoning the prince.
I shouldn't have let my daughter get involved. Sigh! What's the point of regretting now? I hope I can be a good person in my next life.
At this time, the executioners brought five carriages with ropes at the back.
After the soldiers carried Peng Xi to the center of the execution ground, they tied ropes around her head and limbs.
At this time, Peng Xi was so scared that she was out of her mind. She struggled desperately and screamed.
"What are you doing! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! My father is the governor!"
"If you kill me! My father will not forgive you! Ahhhhh......"
Several people looked at Peng Xi with contempt and spat at her at the same time, bah!
Then he slapped the horses' buttocks hard, and immediately, several horses rushed in five directions.
Ah! With a shrill scream, Peng Xi instantly turned into an oval gourd of blood.
The head and limbs were pulled from the body by five horses, and the corpse was still twitching on the ground.
A month later, Zixuan received a report that the envoy sent by Lu State to Fugui City, Shusun Bao, had arrived at the gate of Guicheng.
Zixuan was stunned after hearing this. What was Shusun Bao doing here? She asked the eunuch, "Is Master Xu here too?"
The eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we didn't see the eldest son among the delegation."
She waved her hand and said, "Got it! Order Yuan Huan, the Provincial Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to lead people to the city gate to welcome them!"
An hour later, Shusun Bao and his party, accompanied by Yuan Huan and others, arrived at the reception room of the palace.
After the ceremony, Shusun Bao said, "City Lord Zixuan, Mu Zi has come to you this time to bring you two pieces of good news!"
Oh? Zixuan smiled and said, "What good news is it that would bother you, Lord Shangqing, to come here in person?"
Shusun Bao said with a smile: "The first good news is."
"Young Master Xu has given you a big fat grandson! The Zi family's incense continues!"
Really? Zixuan was overjoyed after hearing this: "Great! This time, our Zi family finally has a successor!"
"Then, Lord Shangqing! Are my daughter and her child safe and sound?"
"He's healthy! Both mother and son are doing well. This is a letter from the young master to you!"
After saying that, he happily took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zixuan.
Zixuan took it and opened it, and saw that it described in detail the process of cotyledon production.
He also informed them that mother and child were safe, and asked his mother not to worry, and finally asked Zixuan to give his grandson a name...
Zixuan read the letter in one breath, then happily bowed to Shusun Bao and said, "Thank you, Lord Shangqing, for coming to deliver the letter in person!"
Then she shouted outside, "Someone! Go and tell the head of the Imperial Household Department to bring over one thousand taels of gold!"
"Yes!" The eunuch agreed and ran out. Not long after, several palace servants came in carrying two wooden boxes.
Shusun Bao pointed at the box and asked doubtfully, "City Lord Zixuan, what is this?"
Zixuan sneered, "Sir Shangqing! To thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way here, I'm sending you a gift of a thousand taels of gold as a token of my gratitude."
"Oh my, no, no! City Lord Zixuan, Mu Zi only did a small favor, how can I accept such a huge thank you gift!"
"Sir Shangqing, please don't be so polite. I have received a lot of your care in Lu."
"Plus, I'm so happy to have a grandson, so this little money is just a gift for the wedding! Please accept it!"
After hearing this, Shusun Bao thought to himself, "How can this Zixuancheng manager call a thousand taels of gold a small sum? How rich must she be!"
One thousand taels of gold is equivalent to several years' salary!
Seeing he couldn't refuse, he quickly stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, City Lord Zixuan. I'll accept it."
Zixuan smiled and nodded: "Sir Shangqing, what is this second happy event?"
Shusun Bao sat back on the sofa, took a sip of tea and said, "City Lord Zixuan."
"The second thing is that my king wants to form a marriage alliance with Fugui City."
"I have selected one prince and one princess from Lu and brought them to you for a blind date."
"You're going to have a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law soon. Isn't that another happy event?"
After hearing this, Zixuan chuckled and thought to himself, how come the marriage alliance has spread to Fugui City?
She really dislikes the practice of sacrificing the marital happiness of children to bind the friendly relations between the two countries.
Although Bili was unhappy, she pretended to be happy on the surface and said, "Okay, marriage is good!"
"But our city of wealth is not like other countries. Our children can decide their own marriages."
"I need to consult the children before making a decision."
Shusun Bao was very happy to see that Zixuan did not refuse, and nodded quickly: "Okay, no rush! No rush!"
"Then Mu Zi will stay in the hotel first and wait for your good news!"
After seeing Shusun Bao off, Zixuan happily took Bo Yuan to his mother's room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zixuan started yelling, "Mother! Mother! Something terrible has happened!"
Bo Yuan pinched Zixuan's nose and scolded him, "You naughty boy! Hehe..."
The queen was practicing yoga in the room and was startled when she heard Zixuan's shouting.
She ran out in a panic and asked, "Xuan'er! What happened? Is there another earthquake?
Zixuan pretended to be frightened and said, "Mother! This is not good! You have a great-grandson!"
The queen didn't react and just stood there in a daze.
I have a great-grandson? Is this a bad thing? Why does Xuan'er say that?
She reacted immediately and chased Zixuan to beat him: "You damn girl! You come to scare the queen mother again..."
Hehehe... Zixuan giggled while dodging.
The mother and daughter played around for a while, and then the queen asked breathlessly, "Stop it, Xuan'er, and tell me what's going on."
Zixuan kissed the queen and her husband and said, "Mother, Zixuan and Ziye have given you a big, fat great-grandson!"
Really? The queen was overjoyed when she heard this: "Xuan'er! Are you telling the truth? Are you lying to me again?"
Zixuan rolled his eyes: "When was Xuan'er lying to you when mother was alive?"
The queen glared at her. "You said you didn't lie! What were you doing just now?"
