Ye Jin has always been philanthropic and often helps poor students. Many onlookers have benefited from his kindness.
Seeing him being punished at this time, and thinking about the rumours that the Ye family was framed, they couldn't bear it.
Some people knelt down and cried loudly, shouting: Good go, Mr. Ye!
For a time, the shouting gradually took shape, getting louder and louder.
Zhang Qing was sweating slightly in anxiety.
He was once a colleague of Ye Jin. Although he did not have much contact with Ye Jin, he admired Ye Jin's literary character from the bottom of his heart.
The fact of collaborating with the enemy is really weird, and he doesn't know the depth of it.
At this time, seeing the people crying and shouting, he was worried about causing a riot. After thinking for a while, he cautiously said to Pei Xiuyan: "Prince Qing, how about we executed early?"
Premature knot is a secret word.
Some family members of Lingchi prisoners would bribe the person in charge of the execution in advance. Not long after Lingchi started, he asked the executioner to cut the knife three inches deep, so that the prisoner would be killed directly without having to suffer the pain alive.
Pei Xiuyan stood on the execution platform calmly.
The snowflakes fell on him and turned into a wisp of mist, making his whole body blurry like pines and cypresses in the fog.
His handsome face was expressionless. After hearing Zhang Qing's words, he uttered two words coldly, "No need!"
Zhang Qing suddenly shuddered, feeling that the person in front of him was scarier than the evil ghost.
He thought to himself that Pei Xiuyan was indeed from the royal family and was as ruthless as the emperor.
It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, and Ye Chuyan was imprisoned at the entrance of the market for three days.
Most of the male members of the Ye family died during the execution on the first day, and the two legitimate sons failed to hold on the second day. Ye Jin held on until the last moment of the execution, and before he died, he only said one sentence: My heart is like the moon, beautiful and dustless.
Some onlookers burst into tears upon hearing this.
Someone volunteered to collect the bodies of the Ye family and his son, but Pei Xiuyan stopped him and declared: Traitor does not deserve to be buried.
Then he ordered people to drag the three bodies to a mass grave and throw them away.
With the death of Ye Jin, the uproarious case of Ye family collaborating with the enemy came to an end.
On the fourth day, the sky was sunny, and the sky and the earth were white.
The bloodstains at the entrance to the market have long been covered up by white snow, and icicles hang upside down under the eaves, reflecting dazzling light in the sun. Jingdu is like a fairyland on earth.

Ye Chuyan dreamed that Ye Jin was being tortured, and blood flowed from his eyes.
He roared at Ye Chuyan with bleeding eyes, "It was you who gave the palace defence map to Pei Xiuyan, and you should be punished."
When the scene changed, Ye Chuqing was also lying on the ground covered in blood.
There was no good piece of flesh on his face, and his white teeth were exposed, and he said sadly: "Ayan, Gu Yan was exiled because of you. If she dies, it will be one corpse and two lives."
Ye Chuyan shook her head subconsciously, wanting to say sorry out loud, it was all her fault.
It's because she shouldn't love Pei Xiuyan, and she shouldn't ask for the palace defence map just to please Pei Xiuyan.
She wanted to speak out, but someone grabbed her by the neck. When she lowered her head, she saw an evil spirit in the shape of a baby.
The evil spirit pinched her and kept shouting, "Mom, since you didn't protect me, then come down and stay with me, okay?"
Ye Chuyan gave up struggling and let the evil spirit choke her.
She was thinking that if there was a hell, she would be willing to go to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer all the suffering to atone for her sins.
Bai Zhi brought the medicine and entered the room. She saw Ye Chuyan's eyes closed tightly, sweating profusely, and holding her neck tightly.
She was so shocked that she put down the medicine and rushed towards Ye Chuyan's hand.
"Princess, wake up, wake up quickly."
Four days ago, Ye Chuyan jumped over the wall and left the palace.
When she was brought back, she was covered in blood, her ribs were broken again, and her arms and chin were dislocated. She had been waiting at the bedside with no clothes on. Although Ye Chuyan's chin and arms were reattached on the spot, her ribs were broken again, and she suffered postpartum injuries. Cold is extremely difficult to heal.
Ye Chuyan has been in a coma for four days, suffering from repeated high fevers and has never woken up.
Bai Zhi tried to pull away Ye Chuyan's hand.
However, Ye Chuyan was extremely strong, and Bai Zhi found that she couldn't pull her away at all.
She cried desperately: "Someone come here! Is there anyone, save the princess? Come here, save the princess..."
Bai Zhi's cries lingered in the courtyard, which seemed particularly sad in this silent night.

Qing Palace, study.
Pei Xiuyan sat at the desk, looking at the palace defence plan drawn by Ye Jin himself, and became increasingly restless.
After he got up, he paced back and forth.
The words Ye Jin said before his death kept swirling in his mind: My heart is like the moon, beautiful and dustless.
The irritable emotions turned into beasts, clamouring to break out of the cage.
He punched the desk hard, and traces of blood oozed from the joints.
This old guy died instantly, and he was the one responsible for all the evildoers!
When he thought of Ye Chuyan's desperate eyes and thin figure on the execution ground, he always felt a little breathless.
"Your Majesty." A low cry from outside the door interrupted Pei Xiuyan's thoughts.
"Come in." The voice was as calm and low as ever.
Yan Qi entered the room and bowed down.
"Your Majesty, after my subordinates threw the bodies of the three Ye family father and son into mass graves according to your instructions, those people did not dare to show up yesterday. Tonight, they showed up as soon as it got dark and took the bodies of the three Ye family father and son. It was taken."
Pei Xiuyan nodded.
"Follow these people closely and secretly investigate their identities. Don't alert them."
Those who dare to collect corpses for the Ye family are those who Ye Jin said are loyal to the Ye family. He wanted to find out who these people were.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"How are the exiled female relatives of the Ye family doing now?"
"My subordinates have arranged for someone to protect them secretly, and also arranged for a medical woman to accompany them in disguise. The person responsible for escorting has already taken care of things. There shouldn't be any accidents along the way."
Yan Qi replied calmly.
"What about the news about the Ye family that was revealed to the princess that day?"
"It was an accident. The two maids who had just entered the palace were ignorant. They were chatting outside the princess's courtyard and the princess overheard them. I have already dealt with it."
After Yan Qi finished speaking, he secretly took a peek at Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan pursed his thin lips tightly at this time, his face was solemn, and he did not reveal any emotion.
He has been following his master for so long, but he has never been able to guess his master's thoughts.
While the master personally convicted the Ye family, he did not allow anyone to intercede for the Ye family.
While arranging for people to take good care of the exiled female relatives of the Ye family, he also severely punished several servants who revealed the news to the princess.
These behaviours made him completely confused as to what his master's attitude was towards the Ye family and the princess.
Pei Xiuyan waved his hand, knowingly, and disappeared into the study.
Pei Xiuyan walked out of the study and looked up at the night sky.
The bright moon tonight is very bright, reflecting the un-melted snow on the ground, and the world is quiet and beautiful.
He walked in the moonlight and unknowingly came to the entrance of a courtyard. He looked up and saw the three words "Jianjiayuan" on the plaque, and couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
This is Ye Chuyan's yard. How could he come here unknowingly?
Ye Chuyan is still being grounded, and the guard outside the yard may be lazing around because of the cold weather.
The huge courtyard looked particularly desolate and desolate as if no one was inhabiting it because the door was locked from the outside.
Since leaving the execution ground that day, she has been in prison in the vegetable market for the past three days.
He has been busy today. After doing the math, he hasn't seen Ye Chuyan for four days.
He wonders if she is well?
After this idea popped up, Pei Xiuyan was shocked by himself. When did he start caring about Ye Chuyan?
He shook his head to dispel his thoughts. Thinking of Zhao Yujiao's promise to accompany her to admire the moon when he left home this morning, he raised his legs and prepared to leave.
At this moment, he heard a woman's shrill scream coming from the yard, as if she was shouting: Save the princess.
