There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Since the banquet, Qin Daoyan was forced into a dead corner by Jin Ruhai and the Crown Prince, and his mansion was searched by the Ministry of Punishment.

That day, most of the people in the capital gathered outside to watch the fun. They saw imperial servants carrying out boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry from the Minister's Mansion. From dawn to sunset, they've only managed to count half of them. Not to mention those things that are beyond what the queen possessed.

Because the case is of great importance, the three imperial divisions and six departments jointly reviewed it. Hundreds of officials searched for several days without sleep at night, and finally listed more than 150 crimes related to Qin Daoyan, all big and small.

Emperor Yan didn't give Qin Daoyan any chance to plead for mercy, and an imperial decree to bestow death was immediately issued to him, completely destroying the powerful figure who once covered the sky with one hand in the court. Under Qin Shuang's leadership, the hundreds of adoptive sons and daughters who had been taken in escaped in an instant.

On the day of execution, Qin Daoyan was wearing shackles and chains, with white hair covering his face. The whole person aged more than ten years in an instant. The blindfold used to cover the wound was lost somewhere, and the ugly and mutilated right eye was exposed to the scorching sun.

Unwilling to die, Daoyan struggled endlessly and was forced to kneel in front of the execution platform, screaming to the sky with all his strength, his voice was hoarse and mournful: "You cynical dog emperor! The cunning hare has long been killed by jealousy, the loyal wolf has been cut off from his vitality, the freedom of a free bird has been plucked out by the pessimist, and the good bow is burned! You are ignorant! I, Qin Daoyan, should have expected what happened today!"

"It was Xie Bi before, now me!? Qin Daoyan?! After I die, I will turn into a ghost plaguing you, from the shadow of the day and to the depth of your sleep! so that you will have no peace!"

Dare to speak out even on the day of his death. Considering that there are many secrets in the palace, the executioner who supervised the beheading was so frightened that he didn't dare to listen anymore. Before the time came, he threw down the sign and urged repeatedly: "Quickly wring out the tongue of this traitor, don't let him talk nonsense!"

The executioner took out a small knife from nowhere, grabbed Qin Daoyan's chin, and stabbed it in. The blade stirred in his mouth for a while, and Qin Daoyan's eyes were tearing apart, struggling in pain, and his tongue had already been cut.

The people onlookers all exclaimed in unison, too frightened to bear watching anymore.

There was a teahouse not far from the execution ground, and three young males were sitting on the second floor by the window. One of the men in black with a silver mask on half of his face heard Qin Daoyan call Xie Bi's name, and said coldly: "Who is he, is he so worthy of being compared with General Xie Bi."

The prince sat opposite and said as well: "Qin Daoyan pretended to be a good Minister when he was dying, and compared with Xie's family. I don't know if Emperor Yan will believe it or not!"

Chu Xinian was keenly aware of the close relationship between the two of them and General Xie Bi. Xie Jingyuan is understandable as it is a defense for the elders of the same clan, but considering that the Prince is also filled with righteous indignation, is a bit strange.

Chu Xinian took a sip of tea, and asked casually, "Your Highness, are you familiar with the Xie family?"

The Prince paused when he heard the words, his eyes rolled around, and he was about to find a reason to cover it up. Xie Jingyuan has already answered for him: "In the past, His Majesty sent the princes to practice in the army. Prince Jin was sent to the southern desert, and the Prince was sent to the west. General Xie Bi happened to guard the northwest. He taught the Prince martial arts for a few days. He can be regarded as his somewhat master."
