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

His eyes were filled with envy, but the purse was placed steadily in Xun Lan's hands.

With a smile on his face, he said with admiration for his elder brother: "Brother, I have never seen so much money in my life. You must spend it wisely and marry my sister-in-law back."

Raising his hand and patting Xun Lan's shoulder again, Xun Zhan put a map and a token in Xun Lan's hand.

"Father, don't get involved in this matter. I have 500 people ambushed here. When they see the token, they will capture the prisoners and send you to the rendezvous point."

"Shen Jinmo..."

Will not stop.

Xun Lan's eyes were heavy and he shook his head slightly, signaling Xun Zhan not to say anything more.

There are some things that shouldn't be said even between the three of them, father and son.

Everyone has his own stance, and helping him out of trouble is what Xun Xiang must do as a father.

These things have nothing to do with Shen Jinmo.

As a counselor, Xun Lan admired Shen Jinmo as a man of steel.

As a son, Xun Lan would not force his father to walk the same path as Shen Jinmo.

The carriage arrived at the city gate, and Xun Lan bowed to Xun Xiang and Xun Zhan: "Dad, A Zhan, I can only entrust the rest of the matter to you..."

Xun Lan became the one who was eliminated from the Xun family, but Xun Lan and Han Shu became the first people to be freed in this game.

"Brother, take care."

After returning the greeting, Xun Zhan leaned close to Xun Lan's ear and whispered, "Give birth to a few more children, and Xiao Jiu and I will raise them for you."

"We love raising children the most, you must work hard."

Xun Zhan is not stupid, so he naturally would not say that it was Xia Yu who wanted to play with a few children.

What kind of good parents would be willing to let their wife, who gave birth to them with so much difficulty, let someone else play with their child?

Xun Xiang glared at Xun Zhan and said, "There are rules for getting married and having children. Don't worry. As long as you can get the consent of Marquis Han, your mother and I will find an opportunity to witness your marriage."

After thinking about Xun Zhan and Xia Yu again, he said: "If possible, you can adopt one of your children, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, under the name of A Zhan."

Xun Zhan was unhappy for a moment: "Dad, my little Jiu just wants to play, we don't have the time to raise a child, please don't worry about it."

Now, Xun Xiang and Xun Lan both began to glare at Xun Zhan.

This time, Xun Zhan messed up what Xia Yu had asked him to do.

"Hey hey hey."

He laughed dryly twice: "Brother, you love me the most, right?"

Xun Lan also laughed: "After the formal marriage, we will have children. You are all welcome to come and play then."

"But you can only play at home and can't take it out to play."

I smiled and nodded, but my heart was already full of twists and turns.

There is no way his little kid will have fun playing at home, so he will definitely steal the child away.

……

Shen Jinmo and Xia Hong each sat in a royal sedan chair and walked along the corridor covered by vines towards the Golden Palace.

When they got closer, Shen Jinmo saw Xia Xin standing behind Zhong Yuanyuan.

It seemed that he hadn't taken a good look at Xia Xin for a long time.

The red dress was still dazzling, the black hair was neatly tied up high, and the sunlight refracted, but Shen Jinmo saw Xia Xin's white hair sandwiched between the black hair, which could not be hidden.

His mother is thirty-eight years old now and is accompanied by his father. How come she still has so many white hairs?

It was probably because of his unfilial behavior as a son that made her toss and turn in sleep for countless nights.

His father must be very distressed.

Who knows? I've thought about beating him with a cane countless times.

But Shen Jinmo is not afraid, because his mother will stop him.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the Golden Palace, and Zhong Yuanyuan and Nanny Xi came up to greet it.

Xia Xin knelt alone on the imperial steps and kowtowed to Xia Hong.

Xia Hong glanced sideways, and the chief eunuch helped Xia Xin up and brought her to Shen Jinmo.

Shen Jinmo bowed respectfully towards Zhong Yuanyuan and allowed Zhong Yuanyuan to look him over carefully.

Once Zhong Yuanyuan sees clearly, his mother will feel relieved.

As they walked into the hall, Zhong Yuanyuan asked softly, "It rained a few days ago. Did you feel any pain in your chest?"

Shen Jinmo: "It doesn't hurt."

Zhong Yuanyuan: "The sun is very strong today. Do you feel uncomfortable in the sun?"

Shen Jinmo: “Not yet.”

Patting Shen Jinmo's head very gently, Zhong Yuanyuan's voice was gentle and powerful: "Good boy, you have suffered a lot."

Shaking his head, Shen Jinmo looked at Xia Hong and said, "It is not hard for me to be able to block the sword for the emperor."

Xia Hong couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Wang Heng must not be able to get hurt at all in the future."

Zhong Yuanyuan smiled slowly: "Your Majesty is right. Our Xiao Mo, the sufferings that he will have to endure in this life will end here."

"From now on, you will have peace and joy and health until old age."

After giving a few brief instructions, Zhong Yuanyuan took Xia Xin out of the hall.

After stepping down the stairs, Zhong Yuanyuan held Xia Xin's hand tightly with her backhand and patted it several times.

The palace door was wide open, and by raising his head slightly he could see two figures lying under the shade of the tree.

Shen Jinmo's gaze was now fixed on Xia Xin. He did not conceal his intentions. He looked at her openly with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"What is Wang Heng thinking about?"

Pingjing retracted his gaze and took a sip of the hot tea: "Marquis Wu'an went to the northern border. It will be a big trouble to return to the capital in the future."

Taking control of the Northern Army again would be troublesome even if he did not bring back any soldiers.

Shen Jun, who returned with great achievements, could not be killed in a short period of time, which became Xia Hong's only worry.

"How do you think Wang Heng should deal with this trouble?"

Shen Jinmo filled Xia Hong's empty cup and thought for a while before finding a solution.

"On the day he returned victoriously, I personally led the imperial guards to welcome him. Since then, I have asked Marquis Wu'an to stay in the palace and accompany the king."

There is no place in the world more prosperous than the imperial palace, and there is no prison in the world more impenetrable than the imperial palace.

Shen Jun entered the palace and saw all the flowers and splendor, but in reality he was like a tiger with fangs shed, unable to return to the jungle.

Xia Hong smiled warmly.

His Wang Heng really considered everything for him.

The eunuch raised his hand slightly and handed over the key to the inner prison: "Xia Ling is imprisoned in there. It's up to you whether you want to kill him or keep him. I won't interfere in the slightest."

"If you feel bored, you can just use your whip to kill a few of the officials involved in the Eastern Palace for fun."

Shen Jinmo put the key into his sleeve and said, "I will deal with all these people as I please?"

Xia Hong had no choice but to say, "Of course I will listen to Wang Heng."

"Then I will kill a few for fun. When I am tired of killing them, I will pick out some sincere ones and have them walk through all the holy mountains and holy waters of Daxia, praying for the emperor's longevity."

"Only if you live forever can I live in peace in this world."

Some of these implicated people were indeed in cahoots with Xia Ling, Shen Jinmo would not let them go.

But some people had not done anything wrong. If they were all killed, the emperor would be in a dilemma of having no one to use when he ascends the throne in the future.

Place these people in places closest to the people, and one day they will become court officials who understand the people best.

Shen Jinmo could have handled these matters on his own, but he still wanted to mention them to Xia Hong.

Now the offense and defense have changed, Xia Hong has become the one who is repeatedly tested by Shen Jinmo, and who gains his true love by constantly sacrificing himself.

Shen Jinmo had to measure with a ruler and an iron scale. How far can Xia Hong trust him now?

He wanted to take advantage of Xia Hong's trust in him and make Xia Hong the only helpless person in the imperial city.
