Chapter 384: Simultaneous Punishment for Several Crimes
Chen Shaozu was extremely strong and struggled desperately, almost breaking free.
Zhong Ning waved his hand and ordered the two imperial guards to release the man.
Then Chen Shaozu rushed towards Zhong Ning, and everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
They didn't realize it just now, but now they know that she can mobilize the imperial guards, dares to call herself "this palace", and is the cousin of the bride.
Who else could it be other than Princess Zhaohua?
Everyone looked at Chen Shaozu. He really didn't know what was good for him. He even dared to offend Princess Zhaohua.
As expected, the next moment, Zhong Ning kicked Chen Shaozu directly, and he drew a half circle in the air. He was kicked directly onto the wall not far away, and then slid down the wall.
Chen Shaozu collapsed on the ground, holding his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were full of ferocity. He wiped the corner of his mouth, looking even more sinister, and was about to rush towards Zhong Ning again.
The two elders of the Chen family rushed over and hugged the man. Old Master Chen was even more furious and cursed, "You bastard, how dare you offend the princess? Do you want to die?"
"Princess, so what if she's a princess? If she dares to ruin my wedding, I will kill her!" Chen Shaozu still looked fearless. He pushed his parents, who were hugging him tightly, away with one hand each.
There was a cry of "Ouch" as the two old men fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
Zhong Ning sneered and slapped Chen Shaozu in the air with his internal energy. Before Chen Shaozu could get close, he was slapped against the wall again.
Chen Shaozu felt dizzy and wanted to stand up, but the next moment, a guard raised a sword and put it to his neck.
Chen Shaozu is indeed a patient with super male syndrome. Even in such a situation, he can still struggle vigorously until the tip of the knife pierces his skin, and then he restrains himself.
The next moment, in the wedding hall, seeing Chen Shaozu being taken down, Murong Huan's tears instantly fell.
Murong Lan rushed over, took out the cotton strip stuffed in her mouth, and untied the rope that was tied tightly around her wrists.
"Sister, it's okay... Don't be afraid..." Murong Lan's eyes were slightly red, and she choked with sobs as she comforted him.
Murong Huan couldn't bear it any longer and threw himself into Murong Lan's arms, crying loudly.
"Why are you crying? Stand up!" Zhong Ning shouted at Murong Huan. Murong Huan paused, then with the help of Murong Lan, he tried to stand up.
She lowered her head and took off her hair crown herself, then took off her crimson wedding gown with her own hands. Everyone then saw that underneath the heavy gown was a black iron chain tightly wrapped around Murong Huan's ankle, with a hint of red thread.
The white socks wrapped around her ankles were stained with blood from being strangled. Everyone suddenly realized why the bride needed two people to support her and why she walked so slowly even though the distance from the gate to the wedding hall was not far.
So that's how it is!
This Chen family is really going too far!
Even though Murong Huan is no longer a royal princess, she is still a woman after all. How can she be treated like this?
Zhong Ning looked at the iron chain with anger, and drew out the soft sword from his waist and slashed at Murong Huan.
With a snap, the chain was instantly cut into two pieces.
"Chen family, well done! I'll remember this!" Zhong Ning walked in front of everyone with a sword in hand, then stopped in front of a middle-aged woman.
She tilted her head and asked directly, "Are you Aunt Chen, our Huan'er's second aunt?"
Chen Jiao's body suddenly shuddered, her knees softened, and she knelt down.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life... I... I also have good intentions. I wanted my nephew from my mother's family to take good care of Huan'er. I really didn't expect him to be this kind of person, Your Highness..." Chen Jiao knelt on the ground, trying her best to defend herself.
"What about you..." Zhong Ning looked at the man huddled in silence beside Chen Jiao, "She's your sister's daughter, and you treat her like this?"
The man trembled for a moment, then knelt down and pointed at Chen Jiao and said in defense:
"Your Highness, this bitch instigated all of this. She said that Prince An's Mansion violated the law and implicated our Earl's Mansion."
"Not only did she lose her title, but she also had to support her enemy's daughter... She was so angry that she wanted to marry Huan'er to her nephew..."
"Heh..." Zhong Ning laughed out of anger. She lifted the man's chin with the tip of her sword and said coldly:
"As far as I know, when Prince An was on the throne, the Anding Marquis's Mansion also took advantage of the Prince An's Mansion to commit evil... and reaped all the benefits. Now that the Prince An's Mansion is in trouble, you are denying your support?"
"The eldest grandson of the Marquis of Anding entered the Ministry of Personnel as a palace official with the support of Prince An. The second grandson...your son, was also able to enter the military camp and seek a position thanks to the influence of His Highness Prince An..."
"You enjoyed the benefits brought by Prince An's Mansion, but treated his daughter harshly..."
Zhong Ning laughed out of anger, and his voice suddenly increased:
"Even though Murong Huan was demoted to a commoner, she is still of royal blood. She has me as her cousin and Princess Anle as her biological sister..."
"When will it be your turn as a bunch of bastards to bully us?"
Zhong Ning's voice was cruel and his face was cold, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.
Murong Huan was crying like rain, standing there trying to hold on. He was obviously exhausted both physically and mentally, but he still stood proudly!
"According to the laws of the Great Yong Kingdom, anyone who colluded with Prince An or sought profit from him must be exiled a thousand miles away. I have kindly advised against this and have only stripped you of your titles."
"Since you are dissatisfied, I will withdraw my kindness!"
"Sir, the people from the former Anding Marquis' Mansion have a lot to do with the Fangyuan incident. They should be punished, but they have also treated the royal bloodline harshly and disrespected the royal family. Their crimes are aggravated. They are punished for multiple crimes and sent back to the Ministry of Justice for a new trial..."
As soon as Zhong Ning finished speaking, dozens of imperial guards rushed forward and arrested all the people from the Anding Marquis's Mansion who came to attend the wedding banquet.
"As for you..." Zhong Ning looked at Chen Shaozu, who was still struggling and roaring, "You assaulted a royal relative, you deserve the death penalty... I heard you even abused your own wife... How could we let such a wicked person go so easily?"
Chen Shaozu smiled bloodthirstily, his eyes full of madness: "So what if I beat her? Which man doesn't beat his wife? It's her own fault..."
"Son, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense... That woman committed suicide, what does it have to do with us..." Chen's mother suddenly rushed to Chen Shaozu and reminded him while crying.
"Even if she committed suicide, it was because of you..." Zhong Ning said lightly, and then ordered people to detain Chen Shaozu.
Chen's mother, acting like a madman, was protecting Chen Shaozu, but was also forcibly restrained by two imperial guards. "Take her to the Kyoto prison and punish her according to the law!"
"Ah..." Mother Chen's eyes widened when she heard this. She stared at Zhong Ning intently and cursed continuously:
"Princess Zhaohua, if you dare to hurt my son, I will curse you to die a miserable death..."
