The emperor looked at Xie Lingxiao suddenly. He didn't know who Lu Wenxi he was talking about and why they had to come to the palace because she was related to him.

Seeing Xie Lingxiao's mocking look, and then seeing the two people kneeling in the hall.

The emperor vaguely thought that this was the queen's name.

"Go and bring Lu... Lu Wenxi here."

Eunuch Deng hurriedly ordered the guards to bring Lu Wenxi to the imperial study.

Marquis Anguo stopped him and said, "It has nothing to do with her. I did it. I did everything alone."

Only then did he realize belatedly that since some time, the emperor was no longer the same emperor as before.

He no longer regarded Xie Lingxiao as a thorn in his side, nor did he want to take back the military power anymore.

Since when, the emperor not only reconciled with Xie Lingxiao, but also loved his children even more.

This time, the Marquis of Anguo’s Mansion is doomed.

When Lu Wenxi was brought to the imperial study, she was puzzled all the way and didn't understand why the emperor suddenly summoned her.

Seeing An Guohou and He Jun kneeling on the ground, Lu Wenxi's originally calm heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

The emperor saw that she was just looking at Marquis Anguo and He Jun, standing there without greeting, and without saying a word, with a slightly cold expression.

He was still too kind.

Considering that Lu Wenxi had been by his side for many years, he simply stripped her of her title of queen, banished her to the cold palace, and never paid any attention to her again.

She dared to contact the outside world privately without any intention of repentance.

"What else do you have to say?"

The emperor didn't want to deal with her and just wanted to hear her admit it herself.

The queen looked at the emperor and laughed, but did not say a word.

Shen Jingxuan looked at her with a slightly cold expression.

Apart from Xie Zihan, Lu Wenxi no longer cared about anyone or anything else, so how could she take the emperor's words to heart at this moment?

When the emperor saw Lu Wenxi like this, his already pale face turned slightly red due to anger.

"Since you are unwilling to speak, and Marquis Anguo and He Jun are competing to take the blame, then they will be executed, and the entire Anguo Marquis family will be exiled."

The emperor stared at Lu Wenxi intently: "Don't you care about Xie Zihan? In order to save him, you can ignore such a young child."

"You want to take revenge on my brother, so I will execute your child. You will spend many years in pain and suffering. That's fine."

Did Lu Wenxi think that he would have no way out if she didn't speak up?

Since he cared about Xie Zihan so much, if Xie Zihan died, he didn't believe that Lu Wenxi would still have hope of survival.

"No." Lu Wenxi looked at the emperor in panic.

Marquis Anguo and He Jun knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare the entire Anguo Marquis family..."

The emperor seemed not to have heard what he said and drafted an imperial edict and handed it to Eunuch Deng.

"Since they are unwilling to tell the truth, Eunuch Deng, please go and convey my order."

"Order someone to keep everyone in Anguo Marquis's Mansion under guard. No one should be left behind."

The emperor didn't know yet that the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion had been surrounded tightly.

Marquis Anguo was extremely frightened at this time.

When the emperor mentioned the entire family, he really meant not letting anyone go, including his young grandson.

He Jun knocked his head hard on the ground: "Please, Your Majesty, spare the young child."

Children are the hope of the entire family. Even if the Anguo Marquisate may be in decline for a while, with the existence of children, there may be a possibility of turning things around in the future with their efforts.

If even the children were exiled, the Anguo Marquisate would have no future at all.

The emperor said coldly: "Let the child go? When you arrested my nephew, did you ever think that he was a child?"

"Not killing them along with you two is already a sign of my mercy."

After hearing the emperor's words, Marquis Anguo and He Jun's hearts sank to the bottom.

The Emperor has protected the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion for so many years, but this time he is probably determined to give up on them.

Marquis Anguo looked at Xie Lingxiao and gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Regent, please consider our past friendship and persuade the Emperor to let the child go."

Xie Lingxiao sneered: "Past favors?"

"Are you talking about the favor you gave me when you hired an assassin to kill me, or the favor you gave me when you sent He Jun to poison the entire camp?"

Looking at Xie Lingxiao's slightly cold face, Marquis Anguo felt a little cold in his heart.

He never expected that Xie Lingxiao would confess everything he had done in the past in front of the emperor.

But this was not his intention.

Marquis Anguo looked up at the emperor, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, he pursed his lips and looked at Xie Lingxiao.

"None of this was my idea. I was just following orders."

The emperor watched everything quietly and had some thoughts in his mind about what Marquis Anguo had done.

Look, this is the person he has been protecting for many years.

Now that he saw that he was unwilling to protect the Anguo Marquis Mansion, he wanted to bite back at him and make Xie Lingxiao feel alienated from him again.

"You don't have to go to great lengths to sow discord between me and my brother. I have already made everything clear to him. He also knows that those things were all arranged by me."

Marquis Anguo was slightly surprised.

Thinking about what I had just thought, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He should continue to beg the emperor. If so, the emperor might agree to his request in consideration of what he has done over the years.

He Jun saw that Anguohou's thoughts were guessed, and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, all of this was instigated by Lu Wenxi. It was he who threatened Anguohou Mansion and asked my father and I to capture the regent's child."

Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao had already guessed the truth of the matter, so when they heard his words, they felt no emotion at all.

Hearing this, Lu Wenxi burst into laughter: "What's the point of you telling the truth now?"

"Even if I threatened you and asked you to rescue my De Han'er, you also saw that even if I didn't tell you those things, the emperor would not let you go."

She just wanted to give it a try.

She was very clear about Xie Lingxiao's methods, and she also knew how difficult it would be to get them to exchange their child for Xie Zihan.

But for Han'er, she didn't want to give up even if there was a glimmer of hope.

She didn't want her children to spend their whole lives in such a dark place.

An Guohou and He Jun's eyes were filled with hatred.

They were fooled by Lu Wenxi, she never intended to tell those things.

Only then did Marquis Anguo realize that the queen would not tell anyone. After all, if the things he had done were to be made known, it would not be as simple as just exiling her mother's family.

After all, everything he did was instructed by Lu Wenxi and Lu Zhong.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Lu Wenxi quietly for a long time, until her laughter stopped and her voice sounded slowly.

"Lu Wenxi, don't you feel that you have failed in your life?"

Shen Jingxuan didn't understand why she had no intention of repenting even though she had been banished to the cold palace for so long.

Seeing Lu Wenxi pursed her lips and looked at her, she continued, "By the way, you want to rescue Xie Zihan? But not only will your plan fail, you may never see him again."

The queen asked anxiously, "Where is Han'er? What did you do to Han'er?"

Now her only hope of survival is her child, and he cannot afford any mistakes.

Shen Jingxuan said in a cold voice: "It's not a big deal, but I don't know if he has the luck to survive."

When Lu Wenxi heard Shen Jingxuan's words, she was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Shen Jingxuan and slowly raised the corners of her lips: "You took my child away, and he didn't know whether to live or die in order to save me."

act recklessly?

To save Shen Jingxuan.

Lu Wenxi kept repeating these two sentences in her mind, and felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up in her throat. She pursed her lips tightly to prevent the fishy and sweet taste from rushing out.

When the fishy-sweet taste in her throat dissipated, she looked grim and yelled, "Shen Jingxuan..."
