When Su Changxiao heard this, her heart was startled. The emperor had indeed pardoned her from the death penalty, but she would be locked up in Red Buddha Temple for the rest of her life.
Once she thought about the fact that she would have to spend the rest of her life with an oil lamp and an ancient Buddha statue, far away from the world, living a dark life, her face was filled with unwillingness.
When Su Ming saw this, he hurriedly said, "Chang Xiao, the emperor has already pardoned your death penalty. Why aren't you thanking him?"
"This... this commoner thanks the emperor for his grace." Su Changxiao said this and kowtowed three times in a panic.
Only then did Eunuch Xu say, "Su Changxiao, the crime you committed should have been punishable by death, but His Majesty remembered Su daren's hard work and meritorious service, and could not bear to see him die before his own, so he spared your life. From now on, you must cultivate in peace in Red Buddha Temple and change your ways. You must not have the heart to harm others, otherwise the emperor will not let you off easily. "
"Yes, Eunuch Xu." Su Changxiao hurriedly replied.
After Eunuch Xu finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "Your Highness The Emperor of Li, the emperor originally wanted to sentence Su Changxiao to death, but she is pregnant. The emperor also does not want an imperial heir to have a criminal mother, so to the outside world, Su Changxiao is recuperating in Red Buddha Temple. The emperor knows that The Emperor of Li has suffered a great grievance, but the emperor hopes that you can understand him. "
Chu Xuanchen lightly cupped his hands, "Wang understands. Eunuch Xu, please return to the palace and report to the emperor. Just say that this subject will listen to the emperor's orders."
The emperor wanted to favor Su Changxiao for Su Ming, so he could only swallow this anger.
Fortunately, Su Changxiao would be locked up forever. She could not come out to harm others for the time being, so he felt a trace of comfort.

Like this, Su Changxiao was dragged to Red Buddha Temple and locked up.
She was locked up in a room, and the Emperor sent people to watch over her. There was also a midwife who was responsible for her three meals a day. After she gave birth to an imperial heir, the child would be brought back to the King Of Zhao's residence to be raised.
As for Su Changxiao, she would be locked in that room forever.
Knowing this result, Yun Ruoyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although Su Changxiao was not beheaded, it was also good that she was imprisoned for life. In this way, she could not come out and cause trouble.
After dealing with Su Changxiao, Chu Xuanchen dealt with Aunt Zhang.
Even if Auntie Zhang had her own difficulties, she still harbored ill intentions and carried Nan Feng away. The Emperor of Li's residence could not have such a person.
According to Auntie Zhang's crime, she should have been sentenced to death, but Chu Xuanchen spared her because she had been set up.
However, while he could avoid the death penalty, he could not escape punishment. In order to set an example for others, he ordered Judge Geng to exile Auntie Zhang to a desolate land as a slave.

Then, Chu Xuanchen brought Yun Ruoyue and Nan Feng back to The Emperor of Li's residence.
Once they returned to The Emperor of Li's residence, Yun Ruoyue went to see Xia He.
The Emperor of Li's residence doctor, Doctor Lin, had already finished dressing Xia He's wounds. Now, Xia He was lying on the bed, recuperating.
When she saw Yun Ruoyue walk in, she was scared like a little rabbit and quickly got up to salute her. Yun Ruoyue quickly said: "Xia He, no need to be so courteous. You have a wound on your back right now, so it's not good for you to move around. Lie down and recuperate first. "
"Many thanks, Princess Consort." When Xia He saw Yun Ruoyue, her eyes filled with tears. She said with self-blame, "I'm sorry, The Princess of Li. I didn't want to harm people with Su Changxiao. However, she used my family to threaten me. She abused me and hit me. I had no choice but to listen to her orders and do things for her. I really didn't want to harm people. I didn't want to at all. "
"I know that as her servant, you don't have the right to choose. From today onwards, you're free. You don't have to be her servant anymore. You don't have to listen to her orders. You can be yourself, "Yun Ruoyue said.
