This was the 4th day on which zhang Fei had to kneel again. Although she had been alienated from the outside world due to this tradition, she remained connected to the news through the gossip system . The news of the broken Queen also reached her ears through the system.
This news is not good for a Queen who used to be the first woman in Dayun. However, life often teaches that all actions today will always have their own consequences in the future. If one acts outside the bounds of reason, they must also be prepared to accept the consequences.
On the other hand the Third Prince was now living energetically. Originally his spirit dimmed, now he had the desire to live a blazing life.
In reality, she only survives to hear how the Queen's fate will end.
His life went bad with the Queen which made him misunderstand the Emperor and also resulted in his infertile Prince.
But there was also another story that was forgotten just like the Minister of the Right, Zhang Fei's own real father. Although many had forgotten their story, but zhang fei continued to monitor their development. Like the Queen, the Minister of the Right has sown and is currently reaping the rewards.
On the day of the rebellion, the Third Prince managed to capture all members of the Right Minister's family, and they were transferred to a secret passage as prisoners. Meanwhile, the slave servants in the zhang mansion were all killed indiscriminately. During the uprising, the family of the Minister of the Right was forgotten, even when the first revolt failed. They lived in terrible conditions, not even getting a day's worth of food.
In the final uprising, when the Third Prince plans a counterattack and decides to send his support family out of town, the family of the Minister of the Right is unexpectedly released. They were joined by a group of people trying to escape the capital.
The Minister of the Right felt that his future would not be better, either the Third Prince succeeds or fails. Therefore, he decided to escape from the capital.
Jiang Moyun, his wife, cried while asking her husband, "My husband, what should we do now? Where are we going?" Jiang Moyun felt despair and anger at the treatment they received. Even his youngest son looked so weak and unable to run.
They are a well-educated family who have a bright future as baccalaureates. However, the Third Prince's failure changed everything, making them have to flee without any definite direction and plan.
Both their two sons and their elderly grandmother suffered, because the absence of food for three days had drained them of energy. On their run, the old grandmother had to be shouldered by the Minister of the Right.
The Minister of the Right had three concubines, one of whom was Zhang Fei's real mother. However, the current condition is just as bad as the other refugees.
The concubine who was Zhang Fei's real mother actually did not want to escape because her daughter was still in the capital. However, the situation left him with no choice. He was trapped in the zhang mansion as the arrest took place and was eventually detained along with the Minister of the Right.
This limited condition made him feel weak and almost unable to walk. His legs were dragged in a miserable manner due to lack of food.
In a difficult situation, he said "Master, maybe we should try to go to the small palace? Who knew Princess Peipei could do something?"
Jiang Moyun's eyes twinkled at this proposal. Princess Peipei was the title given to Zhang Fei.
Zhang mansion still had two unmarried sisters, but the title Princess Peipei gave hope that Zhang Fei might have some influence that could help them out of this difficult situation.
"Yes, whatever happens, I am still the father-in-law of Uncle Prince. My daughter has the title of Princess" said Minister Kanan steadily, showing her courage in the midst of this difficult situation. He was convinced that his title and relationship with Princess Peipei might give them hope.
However, first son Zhang felt a deep anger. He felt disappointed and angry at Princess Peipei for not helping them in these crucial moments. "When the capital was attacked, why didn't Princess Peipei come to help the Zhang Mansion? Does he just want to live comfortably after we disappear? Even though he was already rich, had he forgotten his roots?"
However, concubine Fei immediately regretted her proposal. Princess Zhang had already suffered in silence at the Zhang Mansion, and she felt guilty for having suggested this idea. He knew that Princess Peipei might have long been ignored, even as they suffered from starvation in the backyard.
"Master, the Zhang family is currently tied to the rebel side. If we go to the small palace, this will probably have a bad impact on Princess Peipei. Maybe we better not go there." He tried to persuade the Minister of the Right to consider the larger situation before making a decision.
All of a sudden everyone went berserk and angry at Consort Fei, even so that zhang Fei who was not there also got reproach. Words of mockery such as "white-eyed wolf" and "nuts that forgot his skin" were thrown incessantly.
"We are a family, tied up badly. Zhang Fei was the daughter of the Zhang family and now it was time for her to show that she was a dutiful princess. It's also time to repay and keep us all in spite of the situation. We're all together on this."
Zhang's first son voiced his opinion, "True, I am the seedling of the Zhang family. My life is important too. Zhang Fei, as a sister has an obligation to look after me regardless of everything."
Concubine Fei, who heard all that, felt as if she was being hit hard. His face paled and deep regret flashed through his mind. The idea he had proposed was so rash and now everyone felt distracted by it.
Previously Consort Fei had indeed planned to leave the capital and go look for her nephew. He wanted to break away from the Zhang Mansion that he had been unhappy with all this time. As a concubine she could not be divorced like a legitimate wife.
But if he could leave the house or be expelled, it would already be considered a disconnection.
Concubine Fei had long been fed up with Zhang Mansion's condition and she had only survived in order to maintain her daughter's reputation. But then Zhang Fei himself revealed to Consort Fei .
If he preferred if the concubine were to leave the Zhang Mansion. Concubine Fei had not thought much of it at first, but in the present situation, her determination to leave the house became even more steady.
Although in her heart Consort Fei was full of rebellious thoughts and the desire to break away from the Zhang Mansion, she remained silent and let the decision that had been taken take effect. He knew that his plan to escape had to be meticulously planned.
"If I make it out of the capital, I'll escape. I don't want to be a burden to my daughter, even she doesn't think of her as family" Inner Consort Fei, with a strong desire to gain her freedom.
Despite that, Zhang Fei was the only one who would probably protect the Zhang family. Concubine Fei felt she had to send a message to her daughter so that she would not get involved in this situation.
They had once thought of rebelling by supporting the Third Prince. Now that it had become like this, they wanted to connect Princess Peipei to enter into destruction .
this is an impossible thing.
In the end, the family tries to escape through a secret passageway along with others. But it wasn't long before they found the passageway was closed and some people had been forced to drink poison. Only a few did not swallow the poison, including the Zhang family, who still had Princess Peipei as the last hope.
When they were put in jail, they shouted as relatives of Princess Peipei. The guards were initially hesitant, but as this was a direct relative of the Princess
They treat them simply. So on the first day, the prison guards still gave better treatment .
Zhang family can still feel comfort . For example they received better food than other prisoners, such as hot rice with meat, but other prisoners only had a bowl of diluted porridge. This was probably because Princess Peipei's name still had a strong influence.
So ever since the detention happened, Princess Peipei's name became a priceless trump card for the Zhang family in the midst of this difficult situation.
But the now zhang fei did not wish to become a stepping stone for the zhang mantion.
So he whispered to the peach girl to spread the news.Whoever is not allowed to privilege the family.If there is any privilege, it is only Consort Fei who needs to be removed from prison.
On the fourth day, the prison guards no longer made a special privilege for the zhang family.
This had already started to happen in the morning and for the first time, right minister, now he no longer had the title so he was referred to as old zhang.
The old Zhang and his family did not get his breakfast.
The old Zhang initially thought that this was just a delay, but when lunch was sent, he was surprised to find a bowl of diluted rice porridge,it's just a bite of old pickles that are only suitable for pork.
"Hey... hey what the hell is this? no breakfast, just this lunch?"her screams were angry.
The first son of zhang also shouted, "My sister is a princess of the small palace, if this is reported then you will run out "she said by throwing a bowl of diluted porridge on the ground.
Brakes...
The bowl broke so that the ground became wet.Some small children screamed in fear because of it.
The level of fear of death increases in this prison, especially with prison services that are so inhumane.
Just imagine, there is no toilet, one prison that has a space of 5 by 5 meters is actually filled with more than 30 people and it does not count small big and young old.
there were even girls who were originally young Misses at home.
for 3 days they could not clean themselves and were forced to struggle with the same clothes since they were arrested.
the first day people may be embarrassed to throw away the deed but what about on the second and third day.
so gradually people are deprived of food but also throw away in the same place they are lying down.
A bowl of thin porridge is the hope to connect life. Perhaps the next ruler will send them to the border .But it was still better compared to the death penalty.
It is only hope that keeps everyone alive.
But this bowl of hopeful porridge was actually thrown away by those who could eat meat in the past two days.
The second son of Zhang also thought this service was bad, he wanted to throw the bowl too.But an old woman restrained him by saying.
"don't throw it away if you don't want to leave it to my grandchildren, even if just this bowl of thin porridge is still better than not eating at all"
"Yes your family can still eat meat in 2 days but do not eat anything.So just give it if you do not want to "
"On me, I'm pregnant so my friend just don't, please!!"
"no adult can stand it, but children are not the same, so just give it to my hungry son"
"Come on, you guys are still full because you ate white rice last night, so take pity on us and give me that bowl"
I don't know when that bowl of thin porridge was requested by so many people. As a result, the room that had been quiet became a frenzy.
In the scramble that this 10-man zhang family no longer had a bowl in its hand.
The person who even had the bowl bend it to the end for fear that it would be snatched away by someone else.
Not yet out of shock, the prison guard came again and knocked on the results with an iron in his hand.
Tak....tak...
"Be quiet don't be noisy, If there's a noisy person it'll be hit with 10 months on his ass.If you want to try"
Only by verbs is able to silence everyone's mouth.
don't get old consider the arrival of this guard to defend her and send her more decent food, but...
"Who is Pei Freya?"
Everyone looked at each other because the name was so unfamiliar, but then concubine fei answered her.
"It's me" he said honestly.
Pei is the surname of his long name is Pei Freya, for so long no one has mentioned that name anymore. So he also seemed to forget his own real name after all these years called Consort Fei.
"Oh you can get out, there's a guarantor for you" said the guard who immediately moved to open the door.
Concubine Fei did not know why she was called but she felt it was because of her daughter.
When the real name is mentioned, this means that he is no longer counted as a member of the zhang family.
She was a concubine so it was easy for her to leave at any time. Now her identity as Pei Freya restored her heart She is a free person.
but this treatment was considered unfair by Jiang moyun.
"Hey Why is he free we're not this a request from the Princess?"of course all the members of Zhang were thinking the same.
But the guard looked at him cynically and said, "his nephew came and paid 50 gold pieces for his freedom .Do you have money if you can, pay it"
everyone including Jiang moyun and him heard 50 gold pieces.In the same era you might find 50 gold copies but now they are imprisoned and all the property even the residence has been confiscated.
if there is anything in the body, it is life.
where should he get 50 gold pieces for this freedom.
"Mother.. Let's call Grandfather Jiang, 50 pieces of gold for my freedom are still worth it...
everyone in the prison thought the same If 50 gold pieces could set them free then they would do that but who would want to pay and fall into the category of rebel accomplices.
Jiang moyun could not speak.
the first day they were detained, his older brother also came. he said that for the moyun exam to sign a letter for the family separation that means, he and the Jiang family are over.
If he refused to sign then the Jiang family would also be dragged along with the Zhang family.
This was done because she was the legitimate wife so her identity would go along with the zhang family.
If the matter got more serious then it was not impossible that the Jiang family would also be counted as an accomplice.
The Jiang family did not want that to happen, so they sent a representative and asked Jiang moyun to break off the relationship.
Concubine Sun and concubine Mo, were even delighted by this news. They were concubines and could possibly be excluded in punishment.
But the requirement is 50 gold pieces per person.
Consort Sun had one Son and one Princess with him. If multiplied by 3 then it was already 150 pieces of gold money.
How could his family spend that much money.
Concubine Mo also thought the same, if the family is able then they can only choose one that can be saved.
Oh this is not a solution but it just creates a new problem.
Unlike the others, concubine Fei, came out of the prison and breathed in fresh air.
When asked where his nephew was, only then did he realize that it was just camouflage.
His nephew was far from the capital how could he possibly have come in a few days time alone.
So zhang Fei asked someone to disguise themselves as a nephew and sign his release deal.
As the concubine fei breathed in fresh air, the prison added a stir again.Old zhang's head immediately pulsed, he could still hold his breath but granny zhang could not.
The old lady who always thought if she was smart, immediately fell down and fainted with her eyes up.
"Mother ..
Grannies...
Zhang Fei heard the story from his system but he could not help. If he can help, he doesn't want to help at all.
They were all just a bunch of snakes that would bite the farmer if helped. So zhang Fei wouldn't be that stupid
"They think it's easy to live after stepping on this body?ah maybe this is revenge for the owner of this body right, Mama"
("Hem the human heart cannot be measured in depth, but doom cannot be avoided from the hand")
A cruel world.
