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

The imperial guards rode to the main gate of Xie's mansion on horseback. They did not rush in as usual, but waited until they were allowed to enter before entering.

They had never caught such a calm suspect.

From the main gate to the main courtyard, no matter whether it was the servants or the colleagues guarding the Xie Mansion, no one had any intention of resisting, and no one showed any panic about what was happening before their eyes.

Night is just rising, with a solitary moon and no stars.

Xie Nanxing was sitting on the wooden steps in the study, while Shen Jinmo was lying on Xie Nanxing's legs with his legs bent. He had been lying there for the whole day.

Look at the sun during the day and the moon at night.

The essence of the sun and the moon cannot bring Shen Jinmo back to life, but the warmth in Xie Nanxing's arms can.

The imperial guard knelt on one knee in front of Shen Jinmo, his pious voice full of fear: "Sir Shen, the emperor has ordered that you be arrested and brought into the palace immediately."

Even though Xia Hong ordered him to be brought into the palace as a criminal, no imperial guard dared to look down on Shen Jinmo.

In the eyes of the king, Wu Cixiu was nothing more than a minister. If anything, he was nothing more than a minister who stole the hearts of the king and his people.

Shen Jinmo had killed so many ministers, but didn’t he escape unscathed?

Without giving any explanation to these people, Shen Jinmo left Xie Nanxing's arms. Knowing that Xie Nanxing's legs had been numb from being pressed down for a whole day, Shen Jinmo held Xie Nanxing in his arms and walked towards the dormitory.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he left the Taifu Mansion. Xie Nanxing did not dare to leave him for a moment, so naturally he did not change out of the robe stained with Wu Cixiu's blood.

Xie Nanxing looked up at Shen Jinmo's jaw and said, "Husband, please wash up before entering the palace, okay?"

Shen Jinmo stopped where he was and looked down at Xie Nanxing for a long time.

We will watch the ice and snow melt, the spring flowers bloom and the autumn fruits ripen, and we will return home with a full load.

"it is good."

It was as if the two masters in meditation had finally moved. Yang Huai and Xiao Gao hurriedly led a group of servants to get busy.

Xie Nanxing folded the blood-stained clothes neatly together. Looking at the two sets of clothes placed on one side, Xie Nanxing glanced at Yang Huai.

Not long after, Shen Jinmo's ink-colored inner garment was changed into plain white.

The clothes Xie Nanxing wore from head to toe were more solemn than usual.

It was just white casual clothes, not the plain mourning clothes.

Since Shen Jinmo had killed someone, Xie Nanxing had no right to wear mourning clothes for the old man.

Xia Hong will not allow it.

After helping Xie Nanxing put on her clothes himself, Shen Jinmo whispered in Xie Nanxing's ear: "Dear, if you can leave the Divine Capital, then leave the Divine Capital."

Xie Nanxing smiled at Shen Jinmo: "Okay."

But when Shen Jinmo saw this smile, he knew Xie Nanxing's choice.

"Well, take good care of yourself, okay?"

Xie Nanxing nodded heavily: "Okay."

Xie Nanxing held a lantern and walked hand in hand with Shen Jinmo along the official road of Shendu where the north wind was raging.

Behind him were two hundred imperial guards escorting Shen Jinmo. When people who didn't know the truth saw him, they thought that Shen Jinmo was their master who needed to be protected carefully.

The companion stopped at the palace gate, and Shen Jinmo held Xie Nanxing in his arms.

After taking a deep breath of the cold air that carried the faint smell of medicine from Xie Nanxing, Shen Jinmo moved away from Xie Nanxing's arms.

Shen Jinmo handed the hand warmer that Yang Huai had been holding to Xie Nanxing's palm and pinched Xie Nanxing's earlobe: "Are you afraid, little Nanxing?"

The call of "Xiao Nanxing" made Xie Nanxing's eyes fill with tears again.

Xiao Nanxing, who has entered the game today and refused to leave when Shen Jinmo was in danger, has no way out.

Xie Nanxing, who chose to stand with Shen Jinmo, has no chance of staying out of trouble.

Xie Nanxing held up the lantern and tilted her head slightly, then asked with a smile, "Will Xiao Mo spend the New Year with Xiao Nanxing?"

"I don't know."

Shen Jinmo heard the footsteps of Eunuch Lin: "Xiao Nanxing, don't be afraid."

"If I can't accompany you, you should also have a good New Year."

Shen Jinmo took Xie Nanxing's nod to heart.

His darling, his little sickly child, has grown up again.

I grew up enough to see him thrown into the palace cage with my own eyes, but I didn't shed a tear.

Grow up enough to be ready to take him out of prison myself.

But is the price of growing up too painful?

Eunuch Lin brought Shen Jinmo into the palace, and Xie Nanxing looked at Shen Jinmo's back.

"When can I bring you a change of clothes?"

The sound was not loud, but Shen Jinmo heard it and turned around.

But the closable palace wall blocked Shen Jinmo's view of looking back.

Xun Zhan looked at Xie Nanxing crying and took the initiative to come forward.

"Xie Nanxing, the prisoners all have prison uniforms to wear, why do they need you to bring them a change of clothes?"

Xie Nanxing looked at Xun Zhan with fierce eyes. For the first time in his life, he felt that Xun Zhan's mouth was worse off.

Xun Zhan, however, did not take this ferocity seriously at all. He simply grabbed Xie Nanxing's wrist and let him get on his carriage.

Lu Bai, who had never let anyone other than Shen Jinmo take Xie Nanxing away, did not stop Xun Zhan's actions for the first time.

After he let Xun Zhan take Xie Nanxing away, he took the servants of the Xie Mansion and got on the carriage back to the Xie Mansion.

For hundreds of years, the carriages used by wealthy families for travel have always been exquisite and luxurious.

But today's carriages exude solemnity and simplicity.

There were still three sticks of incense burning in the incense burner, so Xun Zhan must have been waiting for him for a while.

His husband is always like this.

Whenever he was unable to protect Xie Nanxing properly, he would try his best to ensure Xie Nanxing's safety.

This time all the skills have been used, so Xie Nanxing is facing a dilemma between life and death.

He opened the window and looked at the carriage that was returning to Xie's house along the same route: "Someone wants to kill me?"

"Shen Jinmo killed the Three Dynasties' Grand Tutor."

"He is a noble tutor who is incorruptible, compassionate to all living beings, and treats the people as if they were his own children."

"He is a living god."

Xun Zhan's voice was hoarse and dull, revealing the pain in his heart to everyone.

People like them who had already known Wu Cixiu's fate would be so sad.

More than half of the people in this divine capital must be eager to eat Shen Jinmo's flesh and blood alive.

The palace was too high, and they could not cross the wall to avenge Wu Cixiu, so Xie Nanxing became the first to bear the brunt.

Xie Nanxing closed the window: "Where are you taking me?"

"I will send you away from the capital, and take shelter in a farm outside. Come back after the storm has passed."

This was the second time Xie Nanxing heard the words "send Xie Nanxing out of the capital" today.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay at home and wait for Shen Jinmo to come home."

Xun Zhan did not force it and put the second option in front of Xie Nanxing.

This was a naked threat, coming from Xun Zhan's analysis of Xie Nanxing's situation.

"Xiao Jiu has invited several great scholars to come to Prince Ming's Palace to give lectures. I want you to stay with them for a few days. After these great scholars have left, I will send you home."

"Great Confucian?"

Xie Nanxing's tone was somewhat ambiguous, not distinguishing right from wrong: "Aren't they the ones who want to kill me the most?"

"Master Xun, I can't die."

Xie Nanxing was not afraid of death, nor was he not afraid of death, but he could not die.

The world cannot be so cruel to Shen Jinmo.

"Master Xun, I cannot leave the Divine Capital until I am sure that Shen Jinmo has escaped unscathed."

Xun Zhan took a deep breath and said, "I know that since I have received great benefits from Shen Jinmo, I will not let you die, nor will I knock you out and send you away."

"I will respect the choice you make as yourself, Xie Nanxing."
