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

Sorrow erupted in the darkness, and after the desperate and suppressed cries came helpless cries:

"Father, tell Xin'er, what should I do?"

"Dad, tell Xin'er what to do?"

"Dad, life is so tiring, can you take Xin'er away?"

Princess Pingnan, who was always strong-willed, knelt in the wind and rain in such an embarrassing posture, causing more and more people in Luoan to stop in this rainstorm for her.

The strange news that Xia Che was arrested and brought to the palace in broad daylight spread to every corner of Luoan at a speed beyond anyone's imagination.

And Xia Xin, who was kneeling on the ground with a helpless look on her face, once again confirmed their guess.

"I heard that King Xiaoyao was sentenced to death today. The princess came here specifically to ask for help from Lord Shen, right?"

"Didn't we just find the evidence today? How come he was sentenced to death so soon?"

"It is said that the person was caught red-handed, so there is no need for retrial."

"My second uncle's son was at the palace gate today. He said that the King Xiaoyao he saw today was completely different from before. Even though he was tied up, his elegance and grace made him look more like a prince than a crown prince."

"Today, when Lord Shen went to Prince Xiaoyao's mansion to arrest someone, my sister-in-law was there too. She said that even if Prince Xiaoyao himself died, he hoped to save Princess Xiaoyao's life."

"Princess Xiaoyao was also kindhearted. She knew she was going to die, but she used her past favor with Master Xie to save her personal maid's life."

"Isn't it said that these two people have always been at odds with each other?"

"Didn't Luo An say that the eldest princess and King Xiaoyao are at loggerheads? Now that something has happened, isn't it the eldest sister, the eldest princess, who is kneeling at the door of the Xie residence begging for help?"

"But once the crime of treason is established, there will be no chance for recovery."

"In fact, there is no need for King Xiaoyao to rebel. If he really has the ability, this country should have been his."

"I find it a little strange when you mention this. Princess Xiaoyao was brought into the palace a few days ago, and she was sentenced to death today when she returned to Xiaoyao Mansion. Isn't this an attempt to capture the whole family in one fell swoop?"

"Maybe he knew that Princess Xiaoyao was pregnant with a boy, and he was afraid that the boy would be too outstanding and take his throne."

"The more I talk about it, the more I feel that this is a conspiracy. Look at these years, although the Princess Mansion and the Xiaoyao Palace have received rewards from time to time, they have no real power at all."

"Yes, Marquis Wu'an originally managed the Imperial Guard Department. Now I heard that the Imperial Guard Department has been sidelined by Lord Shen, and he doesn't even go there after he came in."

"Alas, the relationship between these two siblings has become so distant over the years. It seems that they were forced into this."

"These two siblings are so pitiful."

"If the late emperor were still alive, how could he allow his children to be bullied like this?"

"Speaking of the late emperor, I remember how outstanding King Xiaoyao was. If he were the emperor, our lives would definitely be much better."

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. After these words were spoken, the people who lived in a daze under the emperor's feet began to compare Xia Hong of today with Xia Qi of the past.

I also began to compare Xia Che thirteen years ago with Xia Che today.

The reluctance in my heart and the grievances I had endured at the foot of the imperial city over the years began to ferment on this rainy night.

Shen Jun walked alone, holding an oil-paper umbrella, through the wind and rain, past the onlookers, and to Xia Xin's side.

With no intention of dispersing the people, nor any desire to help Xia Xin up, Shen Jun just stood beside Xia Xin, spreading his cloak and providing a peaceful space for Xia Xin.

Realizing it belatedly, Xia Xin slowly raised her head and looked into the eyes of Shen Jun who was standing beside her. As they looked at each other, Xia Xin's eyes turned red and a smile began to appear on the corners of her mouth.

Shen Jun came to take her home.

Shen Jun came to take her out of this dark place.

The night came as expected, and the rainstorm finally stopped. Xia Xin stood up with her own strength in front of all the onlookers.

She was using her body to tell everyone that she, Xia Xin, could not and would not fall down.

She wants to fight for Xia Che and try her best to save Xia Che's life.

Even if Xia Che could not be saved, she, Xia Xin, still needed to stay alive to seek justice for those loyal ministers who died in vain.

Xia Xin has never had the right to commit suicide.

The couple picked up the staggering Xia Xin by the waist and got into the carriage that had been waiting on the side.

There was silence all around, the sound of the carriage driven by Mo An himself rolling over the bluestone slabs was the only movement in the dark night.

The onlookers who were blocking the road made way for the carriage from the Princess's mansion.

Gradually, sounds broke through the darkness, and in this dark night, a ray of light was brought to Xia Xin's eyes.

"Your Highness, Princess, I believe King Xiaoyao is innocent."

"Your Highness, is there anything we can do for you?"

One call led to a hundred responses. More and more people, on that night when they saw the strong man die, unknowingly joined the fight for redress.

Xia Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't say a word.

The carriage left the hustle and bustle, Xia Xin drank the hot tea carefully: "Brother Jun, it's not enough to just have the support of the people."

The blanket that Shen Jun had prepared earlier shook, and a booklet fell into the carriage.

First he covered Xia Xin with a blanket, then Shen Jun picked up the booklet on the ground and handed it to Xia Xin, then pushed the candle towards Xia Xin.

The couple looked at each other, and their eyes, stained by the candlelight, saw the light in the dark night.

Shen Jun asked, "Mo An, has anyone approached this carriage?"

"My Lord, there are too many people here today, and many people are approaching this carriage, so I can't make a judgement."

Shen Jun felt relieved. Even Mo An, who was guarding the carriage, didn't know who did this. That meant no one else knew about it except the person who did it.

Luoan was less hot after the rainstorm, and Xie Nanxing got on the carriage under Lu Bai's protection.

At this time, many people were kneeling at the palace gate. Xia Xin was kneeling in the front row, and behind Xia Xin, stretching for hundreds of feet, were the people who came spontaneously.

Xie Nanxing's eyes felt a little sour, and he tilted his head slightly to force the tears back into his eyes.

The awakening of the people today and the exposure of the truth were achieved by Shen Jinmo at the cost of destroying himself.

Xie Nanxing admired these people for standing up, and Xie Nanxing also felt sorry for Shen Jinmo.

Because behind every kneeling citizen, every plea for Xia Che, was accompanied by abuse of Shen Jinmo.

The carriage stopped at the secret door of Shuangxing Tower, and Xie Nanxing took Lu Bai into the dark room.

At this time, ten secret guards wearing black cloth and masked, whose gender could not be identified, gathered in the dark room. The moment they saw Lu Bai, they all knelt on the ground.

Xie Nanxing took out the blood jade in his arms in front of everyone and revealed his current identity: "Everyone, stand up."

"I obey my orders."
