Chapter 1908 You Reap What You Sow
The Imperial Guard looked at Princess Hu, who no longer looked like a princess in front of him. He sighed deeply.
The relationship between every member of the Imperial Family has always been very strained. Even he didn't understand much the reason for this matter. However, it was not his business.
He only needed to do his job.
"Your Majesty left a message for you, Your Highness." The Imperial Guard looked at Princess Hu carefully and then speak out, "As a member of the Imperial Family, you should know what's the most important."
You should know what's the most important.
Princess Hu's eyes turned red as ruthlessness flashed inside. If she had been an ordinary woman who was having an affair, Emperor Yang Zhou would not care in the slightest bit. There were many people below who could take care of these matters.
And there were also many people who have underground relationship.
It was impossible for the Emperor to pay attention to each and every single one of them so closely.
Emperor Yang Zhou didn't care if she was disloyal.
What he cared for is the image of the Imperial Family.
"What a hypocrite." Princess Hu gnashed her teeth in anger. If she had not leak out the truth of her relationship, Emperor Yang Zhou will not meddle in this matter at all. Now that she was suddenly given order to die, something must have happened.
"Where's Shangguan Yu?" Princess Hu asked sharply.
"His Highness Prince Shangguan Yu will be stripped of his title and sent to the remote area. He made mistake and also meritorious deeds, so His Majesty chose to send him away," The Imperial Guard replied. He's alive?
Princess Hu screamed. It's not fair! How come he's still allowed to stay alive while she end up being punished with execution.
The high pitched scream sounded very similar to when a pig was butchered.
The Imperial Guard frowned. He looked at his friend, who took the long silk and moved towards Princess Hu to execute her.
There were three methods to die here.
Poison, silk to strangle, and executed with sharp weapon.
For women who made mistake, the first two options were given.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Princess Hu could fee her life was drained away from her. It was getting harder and harder to breath.
Her life flashed before her eyes.
In the past, she always pretended to be a sick princess in order to avoid people's eyes. This way, not many people would remember her while her half imperial sister would stand at the front and quarrel with the young lady from Shangguan Family.
In the end, it was her half imperial sister who was being married away far away while she could stay in Fei Yang Kingdom.
For Princess Hu, it was her happiest day.
Once these two troublesome ladies were gone, she started to be more active in order to grasp the chance for her marriage.
Picking the best man, who ended up having a fiancée, she tried to scheme.
But in the end, she fell for her own scheme and marry Shangguan Yu.
She's not happy.
So she troubled him all the time, getting all of her temper up until he left her alone. At that time, Princess Hu felt smug for being able to hold this annoying man back. She believed that her status as a princess will allow her to do everything she wanted. But she's wrong.
It's impossible.
The moment the wrong step was taken, the ending for her would be death.
Thud!
Princess Hu stopped breathing. The guard maintained this posture for some time before he released Princess Hu and let the body fell to the ground.
"His Majesty requested for her body to be buried quickly." The Imperial Guard nodded.
They quickly dealt with the body.
From that day, there's no longer any Princess Hu in Fei Yang Kingdom and with time, no one remembered her anymore.
…
<Not long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, Shangguan Family Residence>
*neigh*
Shangguan Yu was cleaning up his residence. After the trial, the meritorious deeds and mistake he made canceled each other. It would look bad to kill him after the Imperial Family, which is Princess Hu, had made him a joke.
Since that was the case, the punishment for him turned to be exile.
Exile to the uncultivated land on the southwest of Fei Yang Kingdom.
There were untouched forests, tall mountains, and even dry desserts there. Shangguan Yu knew that the area was left undeveloped by Fei Yang Kingdom because their focus was towards the north and the east. When he went there, he will have to start everything over by himself.
Without any status or anything else.
But Shangguan Yu felt calm.
From the very moment he decided to take this path, he knew that his ending wouldn't be good. The dream he had from childhood is now thoroughly destroyed. And this time, the one who destroyed this dream is himself.
"Master." The steward looked at Shangguan Yu worriedly.
"You don't have to follow me anymore." Shangguan Yu looked at the old steward and smiled faintly. After the big burden has been relieved from his shoulder and everything has come to conclusion, he looked more relaxed and calm.
There was no need for him to worry about many things anymore.
He's free.
"But…"
"I handed Shangguan Family token to my cousin." Shangguan Yu put the last box to the carriage in front of him. "If you wish to continue serving Shangguan Family, you may go or wait for him."
The steward and several servants behind Shangguan looked flustered.
Shangguan Yu turned to look at them. "But if you only want to serve the second family's descendant, you know where to look."
The steward froze.
His face revealed fear. "Young Master, I…"
"You don't have to explain. I'll be going now with the army." Shangguan Yu climbed to the carriage. The driver is a soldier from the guards. "You won't see me again."
