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

The rain covered all traces of the crime. Shen Jinmo rode his horse at full speed, carrying the two heads towards the palace.

When I returned to the palace, it was already midnight.

Unlike the last time he knelt in the palace at night, the guards guarding the palace gate tonight, when they saw clearly that the man wearing a bamboo hat and looking cold was Shen Jinmo, they hurriedly opened the palace gate for him as the key had already been locked.

He was afraid that if he was a little slow, Shen Jinmo would hate him.

At every step from the palace gate to the Golden Palace, there was a young eunuch leading the way for Shen Jinmo in front, and palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground behind, wiping the ground mixed with blood and rain water clean.

No matter how many lives are buried in this palace, when the next sun rises, it will still be clean and dust-free.

The Golden Palace was brightly lit at midnight, and it was obvious that the owner of this palace was waiting for Shen Jinmo to come and comfort him.

Holding the black wooden box high in both hands, Shen Jinmo knelt down and kowtowed: "Your servant Shen Jinmo comes to report."

Xia Hong walked down the platform with the help of Eunuch Lin. Looking at the box that was still oozing blood, Xia Hong suddenly thought of Xia Qi.

He remembered that the head of Xia Qi that he had chopped off was also placed in such a black wooden box and buried in the imperial tomb.

His heart trembled slightly, and his expression showed a look of defeat. Xia Hong turned back to the dragon throne and nodded to Eunuch Lin.

Eunuch Lin walked towards Shen Jinmo, opened the black wooden box, took a quick look at it, and was so frightened that he took two steps back and then fell to the ground.

Xia Hong frowned in dissatisfaction, but looking at Eunuch Lin's appearance, he did not dare to step down from the dragon chair: "Why are you so flustered?"

Eunuch Lin knelt hurriedly and reported in a trembling voice: "It is indeed Prince Xiaoyao and his wife inside. Both of them died with their eyes open."

The pale and stiff face, the eyes that were still open, the candlelight in the dark night, the similar outline after the disguise, and the preconceived notions made it impossible for Eunuch Lin to give a second answer.

Shen Jinmo looked at Xia Hong, who pursed his lips, put the box on the ground, and closed the eyes of the two people in the box in front of Xia Hong.

Xia Hong lowered his head slightly, and through the candlelight saw the hair accessories that were exactly the same as Xia Che and Chen Luo's, and closed his eyes silently.

"The bandit leader spared them because Chen Luo was pregnant. My men chopped down with their knives, so their movements were a bit fast. It was normal that their eyes were not closed."

The black wooden box was closed again. When he looked up again, the curve of Shen Jinmo's mouth and his voice were all a little gloomy.

Just like this night, Shen Jinmo pawned his soul to the devil and there was no time to redeem it.

Xia Hong deliberately avoided looking at Shen Jinmo while drinking tea: "What are Wang Heng's plans for next?"

"The late emperor's legitimate son has already left Luo'an. From today on, his life or death has nothing to do with Luo'an."

Shen Jinmo knew that the only trace of kindness in Xia Hong's heart was directed at the person he wanted but could not get.

So he wanted to fulfill Xia Hong's self-righteous sincerity.

Xia Hong nodded slightly. Doctor Shu, who had been waiting in the side hall, came to Shen Jinmo's side with the antidote under the guidance of Eunuch Lin.

With his eyes lowered, he couldn't help but look at the small pool of blood on the ground. Thinking about the things in the box, Doctor Shu clenched his fists subconsciously.

He completely owed that man a son.

Eunuch Lin pushed Doctor Shu, who then came back to his senses and said, "Sir Shen, this is the antidote for the infection. After you take it, your body will be completely healthy."

He stretched out his bloody hand, intending to open the box of pills, but Doctor Shu immediately stopped him.

"Sir Shen, you can take a quick bath to activate your blood circulation before taking the medicine. This way, the medicine will be more effective."

Shen Jinmo did not agree immediately, but looked up at Xia Hong who was sitting on the dragon throne, asking for his opinion.

He didn't know if it was Xia Hong's illusion, but he always felt that the murderous aura on Shen Jinmo tonight was a little cold.

After taking several sips of hot tea, Xia Hong said, "Wang Heng has worked hard these days. You should take a few more days off and return to the Guard Division when you have rested enough."

"The minister obeys the order."

Shen Jinmo raised the black wooden box in his hand again, with a slight smile on his face, and asked, "Does the Emperor want to put this away?"

"You can do whatever you want."

The smile on Xia Hong's lips froze a little. He thought about the reaction after he personally killed Xia Qi, and then thought about how he could get out of the haze, and said:

"Xie Nanxing, please don't come to the palace to study these days. I will accompany you to have a good rest for a few days."

What Xia Hong meant was that Shen Jinmo had to quickly wash away the darkness on his body.

If you don't wash yourself clean one day, don't come near him.

So that he wouldn't be constantly thinking about the person who had been dead for more than ten years.

Just thinking about it made Xia Qi feel unlucky.

Shen Jinmo obeyed the order and left the palace, returning to Xie Mansion again. There was no one in the mansion who was waiting for him to come home every day.

The disguised gloom was removed, Shen Jinmo solemnly placed the wooden box in his hand into Mo Ping's hand, closed his eyes and said: "Give him a proper burial."

"Yes." Mo Ping bowed his head. "The master instructed us yesterday to bury them on the sunny side of the mountainside of Dongshan. He will personally erect a tombstone for the two of them when he returns."

"Yeah." Shen Jinmo responded with one word and said nothing more.

.

The morning light pierced through the dark clouds, dispelling the darkness of last night.

Xia Che shook his dizzy head, and when he regained some consciousness, he was suddenly shocked: "A Luo, A Luo."

Chen Luo, who was sleeping next to Xia Che, was suddenly awakened by the call and subconsciously reached out to Xia Che.

The moment the two pairs of eyes, which were just awake and hazy, looked at each other, tears flowed from Chen Luo's eyes.

It's surviving a disaster.

Holding Chen Luo in his arms, Xia Che buried his head in Chen Luo's hair lovingly.

Revealing recklessness.

The princess he chose when he was young has now become his wife and is pregnant with his child.

Xia Che's eyes also turned red at this moment.

A soft kiss landed on Chen Luo's brow, and Xia Che concealed his tenderness in his eyes: "A Luo, you have worked hard, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Luo shook her head slightly and said, "The children know how hard their parents have worked these days, so they are very obedient."

A low conversation came into Lu Bai's ears through the door curtain: "Master, everyone is awake."

Xie Nanxing stood up by supporting himself on the table, and Lu Bai hurriedly helped Xie Nanxing walk towards the bedroom.

Knocking lightly on the door, Xie Nanxing said, "Your Highness, Madam, I am Xie Nanxing."

The two people who were hugging each other tightly separated at this moment. The moment Xia Che heard the sound, he thought of the smoke in the carriage.

Xie Nanxing is really a meticulous person.

Even a calm awake person may still experience unexpected events, but an unconscious person will not cause an accident.
