The corners of his mouth were stained with bright red, and the crowd of people watching were like ants, with more and more people pulling him around.

Shen Jinmo swung the whip in his hand casually, and blood foam flew everywhere.

He swallowed the blood silently, not wanting to implicate the people around him. With just a glance, the Tiger Army took all the people away.

Gnashing her teeth, Han Shu cursed: "Shen Jinmo, you lunatic!"

"Han Zhou sought his own death. Xie Nanxing left me and the Capital of Gods because of his death, so don't worry. I will slowly settle this grudge with your Zhongqin Marquis Mansion."

Ignoring Shen Jinmo's grip on her body, Han Shu swung the scabbard directly at Shen Jinmo's arm.

The scabbard made of fine iron was deformed immediately, the official robe was torn, and Shen Jinmo's exposed texture glowed bright red.

Han Hou raised his sword and pushed back Shen Jinmo's foot that was about to fall on Han Shu, and protected Han Shu tightly behind him.

His eyes moved away from the father and daughter and fell on the damaged lining of the official robe.

This was bought for him by Xie Nanxing. If one piece breaks, there will be one less piece.

It was like a whip in a demonstration, beating the generals who were just standing upright until they vomited blood.

"Marquis Han has only one child now, so don't let her wield swords and guns recently. Watch her practice embroidery needles more. I will guarantee your marriage in the Marquis Zhongqin Mansion."

Han Shu tightly grasped Han Hou's hand that was holding the sword and intending to point it at Shen Jinmo, and her eyes, which were used to seeing blood, became vague.

In this God's City, countless people had taken advantage of Shen Jinmo's unparalleled tolerance to press forward step by step, and most of them had not died as a result of the provocation.

Xie Nanxing is the rope that prevents Shen Jinmo from stepping into the endless abyss.

Now that Xie Nanxing is dead, Shen Jinmo will no longer yearn for the sun.

He traded his soul and became the master of darkness.

Anyone who dares to provoke us again will be killed.

The morning court ended in a strange atmosphere with Shen Jinmo playing with the wound on his arm intentionally or unintentionally, and blood frequently falling in the Golden Throne Hall.

The sky was clear and bright, and Shen Jinmo was walking under the warm winter sun, becoming the only spot of darkness between heaven and earth.

Xiao Dezi, who was guarding the gate of the Golden Palace, saw the figure in the distance, so he ran up to Shen Jinmo and bowed.

He dared not forget that Eunuch Lin, who was now feeding tigers in the palace in the cold winter, ended up in such a situation because he did not serve Shen Jinmo well.

Although the chief eunuch in front of the emperor was doing his job with fear and trepidation, the flowing gold and silver and the flattery in the palace would soothe his grievances every night.

Power is such an addictive thing.

He stood on tiptoe and raised the umbrella over Shen Jinmo's head to block the sun from shining on him.

His eyes fell on Shen Jinmo's arm, and Xiao Dezi's eyes were filled with heartache: "Who the hell dared to hurt Lord Shen? When the emperor finds out, he will definitely kill all his clans!"

His words, which were so filled with righteous indignation that they seemed to be able to sense Shen Jinmo's pain, did not earn him a single glance from Xiao Dezi.

Lifting up the folded hem of his dark red robe, Shen Jinmo knelt on his knees at the door of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me."

Because Shen Jinmo had not entered the Golden Palace to serve for several days, Xia Hong felt that he had gone too far and was about to go to the Shen Mansion in person to comfort Shen Jinmo. When he heard Shen Jinmo's voice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He personally bent down to help Shen Jinmo up, held Shen Jinmo's wrist with one hand and led him into the hall, letting him sit steadily on the soft stool specially made for him.

The smell of blood in his breath made Xia Hong frown, and he signaled Xiao Dezi to ask the imperial physician.

"I just left the house today. Who is so bold as to hurt you?"

"We passed by the Marquis Zhongqin's residence and were surrounded by Han Shu and his soldiers."

There was no sadness or joy, no hurt or pain. Even though every word Shen Jinmo uttered was humble, it was also corroded by the severe cold.

"Be bold!"

He smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. The king's rage forced everyone inside and outside the golden palace to crawl on the ground to save their lives.

"Come here, summon Han Shu to the palace. I want to interrogate her in person."

Holding the teacup in his red hands, Shen Jinmo said coldly, "Your Majesty, I don't want to see anyone from the Han family."

The restrained willfulness just right induced Xia Hong's sympathy and made him feel grateful for not having to bow to his subjects.

"Listen to Wang Heng. Whatever you want, I will satisfy you."

Shen Jinmo looked at the indulgent emperor in front of him, and showed Xia Hong the unbearable self-compromise he had experienced these days through his eyes.

It was not until Xia Hong looked away and took the scissors to trim the plum vase behind him that Shen Jinmo said, "Your Majesty, Xie Nanxing is dead. She was killed by Xia Ling."

"Sui Yi brought so many people to protect Xie Nanxing, but in the end he failed to do so."

Shen Jinmo wants to take the lives of these two people.

"After this, Xia Ling's life will be in your hands. I will keep my word."

Raising his hand and patting Shen Jinmo's head, Xia Hong jumped directly over Sui Yi.

Shen Jinmo is smart. After so many years, how could he not know the role that Xia Hong plays in this situation?

Xia Hong did this because he was afraid that Shen Jinmo would eat too much at once, and life would be meaningless without fighting spirit.

Secondly, Shen Jinmo loves Xie Nanxing so much, Xia Hong has no way of judging whether Shen Jinmo has really accepted everything and is only swearing to be loyal to him as the emperor until death?

The third is that no one in the Dark Guard Division can match Sui Yi, and Xia Hong does not want to break the balance of power among the three divisions.

Shen Jinmo now possesses a lot of power. Before Xia Hong is sure that he has completely forgotten Xie Nanxing, he should be more cautious.

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Shen Jinmo finally figured out his current situation after some trial and error.

The emperor was willing to indulge his willfulness, but the premise was that it would not threaten Xia Hong in any way.

Human nature is selfish, and Xia Hong, the king of this country, is selfish himself.

Without any hesitation, Shen Jinmo decided to swallow the fat meat in front of him first: "Your Majesty, for a meritorious woman like Han Shu, Prince Ling should kneel in the Zhongqin Marquis's mansion for ten days or half a month to ask for her hand in marriage, so as to show the royal family's kindness to meritorious officials."

The royal family's etiquette came first, and even though Xia Hong looked down on Xia Ling, he felt hesitant after hearing this.

But looking at Shen Jinmo, who was looking down in dejection and had lost everything, and who had secretly let Sui Yi go because of his suspicion, Xia Hong nodded.

"I'll have the eunuch go to Prince Ling's Mansion later to pass on the message that the day of the wedding will be the day when the Eastern Palace will be enthroned."

After getting Xia Hong's promise, Shen Jinmo's icy voice softened a little: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The imperial physician came in from outside the hall. Xia Hong looked at the director of the Imperial Hospital in front of him and kicked Xiao Dezi, who was ordered to summon the imperial physician.

"You are blind. Who else in the palace is qualified to treat Wang Heng except Imperial Doctor Shu?"

Inside and outside the palace, in the court and the country, Shen Jinmo is more important than anything else except Xia Hong's life.

It is so important and precious that it should be worthy of the most noble things in this world.

Xiao Dezi felt murderous, and even rolled and crawled to Xia Hong's legs, kowtowing: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life."

Xia Hong raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "Just beat him to death. Let everyone in the palace see what happens when they disrespect Wang Heng."

Xiao Dezi, who had been the chief eunuch for only three months, was dragged away directly. After Shen Jinmo's wound was bandaged with the bright yellow silk cloth, the new chief eunuch was brought up.

As for what to call him, Shen Jinmo had no interest in knowing.

For Xia Hong, a servant who could only serve him in his daily life, being able to survive for one more day was a gift from fate.
