After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Shen Jinmo saw the empathy in the eyes of the people around him and raised his hand and said, "Come here, cover their heads with black cloth."

As these actions took place, vague words of "treacherous ministers" and "flattering ministers" reached Shen Jinmo's ears.

He raised his head and looked around at the people. Everyone suddenly lowered their heads the moment they looked into his eyes.

There was something wicked in the smile on Shen Jinmo's lips. He really loved to hear the word "traitor".

It would be best if everyone in the world hated him so much that they wanted to cut him into pieces.

Before reaching the gate of the Golden Palace, Shen Jinmo personally removed the black cloths on Xia Che and Chen Luo's heads, and escorted Xia Che and Chen Luo into the palace with two guards.

"Your Highness, I, Shen Jinmo, pay my respects to His Majesty."

Kneeling on one knee, Shen Jinmo handed over the result that Xia Hong wanted: "Two sets of dragon robes were found in Xiaoyao Palace, as well as a lot of words cursing the emperor. There is solid evidence that Xiaoyao King was rebelling."

Shen Jinmo meant that since the evidence was conclusive, the person should be executed immediately.

After hearing this, Xia Hong's legs went weak and he took two steps back. He was able to stand firm only with the help of Eunuch Lin.

He spoke earnestly and decadently: "Che'er, what have I done to you that you are not good enough? Why do you want to rebel?"

Xia Che, with his hands bound, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in an extremely awkward manner: "Uncle, I have absolutely no intention of rebellion. Please understand my words, uncle."

Chen Luo looked at the man who was already injured and had difficulty getting up after kneeling and kowtowing. The tears that had just stopped flowing began to flow again.

This is her precious Highness!

This is her precious Highness!

"Che'er, now that you have been caught red-handed, how can I trust you?"

Xia Hong personally walked down from the high platform and helped Xia Che up: "I will not punish you today, but if anyone else has such thoughts again, the world will be in chaos. How can I explain to the people of this world?"

"I received this report. To prevent someone from framing you, I asked your nephew to investigate. Is it possible that he could frame you?"

"Che'er, tell me, do you think I have done anything wrong to you over the years?"

Words of complaint after word of grievance tore apart Xia Che's last bit of hope.

His eyes were tightly closed, and two lines of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the emotion in my eyes was called acceptance of fate.

"Uncle, whether you believe it or not, I have always wanted to be the free and easy king."

"My nephew was not willing to marry Chen Luo back then. Although she is three months pregnant now, it is not difficult to abort the baby. Your Majesty, please let Chen Luo go free."

"My nephew's life is at the disposal of my uncle."

At this moment, Xia Hong finally got a glimpse of Xia Che's true feelings for Chen Luo.

Don't touch, keep an absolute distance, one is to make him feel at ease, the other is to protect Chen Luo.

So, if it weren't for his good son taking an unconventional approach, Xia Che and Chen Luo, who are so sensible, might have really lived to old age.

With helpless eyes, Xia Hong said, "A-Luo's child was conceived after you had sex with her. You can't abort it. If you do, it will be two deaths."

Xia Che frowned, and a ray of light split all the fog. Xia Che seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "I know, I know, it was all Xia Ling's plan for me."

"He first took advantage of my kindness and made me drink the tea containing the love potion. Then he made Chen Luo pregnant and caused the emperor's uncle to be alienated from me. Finally, he used this dragon robe to frame me."

"Uncle, it's not me who wants to rebel, it's the prince, it's the prince."

Xia Hong felt that Xia Che in front of him was a little noisy, and rubbed his slightly tired eyebrows and eyes: "Since the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to investigate further, just take him away and behead him in the autumn."

After these careless remarks, Xia Che and Chen Luo were dragged away by the imperial guards.

Xia Hong sat on the dragon throne with a sincere smile in his eyes.

Now, looking at Shen Jinmo, he is really satisfied with everything.

"Wang Heng, you've worked hard today, go home and have a rest early."

After leaving the Golden Palace, Shen Jinmo did not return home directly, but went to the Palace School to wait for Xie Nanxing to finish class.

The guard at the entrance of the palace school saw Shen Jinmo coming and walked up to him attentively: "Sir Shen, you arrived a little early today. I have left a stool and tea for you. Why don't you go in and wait for a while?"

Because of Xia Hong's emphasis on Shen Jinmo, Man Luoan's attitude towards Shen Jinmo was quietly changing.

And this change can be good or bad.

However, Shen Jinmo's original intention and way of doing things have not changed at all.

Princess Pingnan's Mansion

Xia Xin and Shen Jun sat in front of the chessboard and played chess. It was obvious that Xia Xin was not in good shape today. She used to be able to win a small victory over Shen Jun, but now she has lost several games in a row.

Mo An walked out of the house steadily and reported calmly: "Lord Shen sent Princess Xiaoyao back home today, but suddenly received an order saying that someone reported King Xiaoyao for treason. Lord Shen immediately searched and caught the person and the evidence. King Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao have been taken to the palace by Lord Shen himself."

The chess piece in Xia Xin's hand fell on the chessboard, rolled several times, and fell directly to the ground.

Standing up from the chessboard, Xia Xin paced back and forth for a few times: "Is there anything unusual?"

Mo An thought for a moment: "Since Lord Shen appeared in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the people of Luoan City followed closely. After King Xiaoyao was escorted into the palace, the teahouses in Luoan were all talking about the former King Xiaoyao."

Mo An was about to speak but stopped. Under Xia Xin's gaze, he continued, "Because of this incident, all of Lord Shen's extraordinary actions after returning to Luoan were also mentioned. Everyone is saying that Lord Shen is such a treacherous minister and should be cut into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun walked up to Xia Xin and held her hand tightly.

Xia Xin raised her hand slightly, and Mo An left the room and stood guard at the door.

In fact, there is not much difference between defending and not defending.

Xia Xin and Shen Jun need to lay out in front of Xia Hong all of Xia Che's actions since today that led to his execution.

If they deliberately concealed the truth, the next charge of treason would be fabricated by Shen Jinmo himself on Shen Jun and Xia Xin.

Helping Xia Xin sit down again, a strong wind blew, making the leaves rustle.

"Brother Jun, my father and mother only gave birth to me and him. Even though he has been muddle-headed these years, he has never hurt anyone else. If I don't save him, I will be too ashamed to see my father in the underworld even if I die."

Shen Jun's eyes were as soft as spring water: "I will always support any decision made by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The arc of Xia Xin's mouth showed her peace of mind: "Brother Jun, this time, don't forget to take me home."

Shen Jun bent down slightly, held Xia Xin's face with both hands, and kissed her softly between her brows: "Don't worry, I will take you home."
