Lu Wenxi looked at Shen Jingxuan and saw that the corners of her lips were slightly raised and her face was filled with smile. The fishy sweetness that she had suppressed with great difficulty in her heart surged up again.

"You are so cruel. Han'er's heart and eyes are all about you, but you don't care about his life or death."

Shen Jingxuan said: "What does his life or death have to do with me?"

"Lu Wenxi, instead of worrying about Xie Zihan's life or death, you should think about how you are going to live in the future."

Without waiting for Lu Wenxi to continue speaking, she turned and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my sister-in-law thinks that we should send someone to watch over Lu Wenxi to prevent her from getting into any accidents."

She wanted to exchange her child for Xie Zihan. Did she think she was still the queen?

Even in the past, when she was the queen, she shouldn't have come to provoke the Regent's Palace.

The emperor said, "Eunuch Deng, do as my sister-in-law said and send someone to watch Lu Wenxi."

He hesitated for a moment, and then his voice rang out again: "If anything happens to Lu Wenxi, the people guarding her will die as a token of their guilt."

To die as a token of apology? Lu Wenxi looked at the emperor in shock.

It is unknown whether Xie Zihan is alive or dead, and the emperor has sent people to watch her every move.

Even death becomes difficult.

When Lu Wenxi saw Shen Jingxuan smiling at her, she already knew what she was thinking.

Unable to save her own child, her entire family was exiled, and she herself was confined to the cold palace and could not seek death... ...

They want to live in pain and suffering for the rest of their lives.

Lu Wenxi looked up at Xie Lingxiao: "Prince Regent, this is your princess. Do you know how vicious she is now?"

She couldn't live, nor could she die peacefully, and she would not let Shen Jingxuan have an easy time.

Xie Lingxiao said coldly: "How can you have any say in my wife's affairs?"

He turned to look at the emperor: "Brother, since Lu Wenxi is so vicious, why not order the guards to slap her thirty times every day."

Royal brother?

When Lu Wenxi heard him call the Emperor "Brother Royal", she couldn't help but feel shocked.

This was the first time she heard Xie Lingxiao call the emperor "Brother" since she married the emperor.

Marquis Anguo and He Jun suddenly looked at the emperor, and seeing that the emperor was filled with joy, he suddenly fell to the ground.

They are finished, the Anguo Marquisate is finished.

The two of them were extremely regretful at this moment. They shouldn't have taken away Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan's child because of Lu Wenxi's threat.

The changes in the relationship between the emperor and Xie Lingxiao should not be ignored either.

The emperor looked at Xie Lingxiao with a smile: "I will listen to you, my brother."

In the past, he was always thinking about the military power in Xie Lingxiao's hands and never cared whether he called him "royal brother" or not.

But since their relationship changed, I listened to it more and more often, and it became more and more pleasant to my ears.

Lu Wenxi staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. The fishy and sweet taste in her throat could no longer be suppressed and burst out.

She never imagined that in the days that followed, not only would she be unable to die, but she would also be punished by being slapped in the face every day.

Marquis Anguo and He Jun saw everything with their own eyes and had already given up begging for mercy.

They saw how much the emperor loved the child, and also saw his attitude towards Xie Lingxiao.

Now, if they were to die in the imperial study, the emperor wouldn’t even blink an eye.

Marquis Anguo and He Jun were eventually escorted out of the imperial study by the imperial guards and thrown into prison, awaiting execution the next day.

Lu Wenxi sat lifelessly on the ground, watching everything indifferently.

The emperor didn't even look at her and ordered Eunuch Deng to put her back in the cold palace.

Lu Wenxi was taken to the door of the imperial study and turned to look at Shen Jingxuan.

"Is Han'er really not sure whether he is alive or dead now?"

Shen Jingxuan said calmly: "Since Xie Zihan was shot in the chest with a hidden weapon, do you think he has a chance of survival?"

When Lu Wenxi heard her words, she seemed to have no strength left in her body and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Jingxuan stopped looking at her and turned to look at Xie Boxu, but was frightened by his actions and broke out in a cold sweat.

She hurried forward and tried to carry Xie Boxu away from the imperial desk, but was stopped by the emperor's eyes.

Shen Jingxuan gently tugged at Xie Lingxiao's sleeve, signaling him to take Xie Boxu away. Unexpectedly, when Xie Lingxiao saw Xie Boxu's actions, his expression instantly turned cold.

Xie Lingxiao took a few steps forward, threw the jade seal in Xie Boxu's hand onto the desk, picked him up and walked out of the hall. Shen Jingxuan saluted the emperor and caught up with Xie Lingxiao.

The emperor smiled and said, "My brother, why are you so anxious? It won't be too late to leave the palace after lunch."

Xie Lingxiao said without even turning his head: "Your Highness, just go back home and have dinner."

The emperor glanced at the guards at the palace gate and stopped Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan.

He came to Xie Lingxiao and held Xie Boxu in his arms again.

"In that case, you guys go back home later, and I'll stay with Xu'er for a while."

The emperor seemed to remember something, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Xu'er is just like my brother when he was a child. He likes to play with the jade seal."

After saying this, he put Xie Boxu back on the desk.

The emperor picked up the imperial seal and handed it to Xie Boxu: "Xu'er likes the imperial seal?"

Seeing the emperor's gentle expression, Xie Boxu smiled at him and said, "I like it."

Shen Jingxuan was worried that Xie Boxu would continue talking, so she pulled Xie Lingxiao.

"What's so good about this? Come here and go back to the palace with your father."

Xie Boxu glanced at Xie Lingxiao and obediently put the jade seal back on the imperial desk.

"Uncle Emperor, Xu'er and father have returned home." After saying this, he moved to the edge of the imperial desk and jumped down by himself.

The emperor's hand, which had already been extended, froze in place for a moment.

His eyes fell on Xie Boxu's legs, and then looked at the imperial desk.

The imperial desk was so high, and he just jumped down like that?

Xie Boxu didn't care at all. He wiped his hands on his body and ran towards Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan.

"Father, Mother, let's go back home quickly."

Xie Lingxiao bent down, picked up Xie Boxu, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the emperor's eyes and her brows gradually frowned.

For some reason, she always felt that the emperor looked at Xie Boxu with an unfriendly look.

Unable to figure out the reason, she hurriedly chased after Xie Lingxiao and Xie Boxu.

When they returned to the Regent's mansion carrying Xie Boxu, many people were already waiting there.

Shen Jingxuan came to Old Madam Shen: "Grandma, why are you all here?"

Without waiting for Madam Shen to speak, Mr. Shen said unhappily, "You've really grown up. Xu'er is missing, such a big thing, but you didn't even go back to the mansion to inform us."

They are just a little older, not dead. Can't we send someone to help find them?

Xie Lingxiao brought Xie Boxu to Old Madam Shen: "Grandfather, it was me who didn't let Xuan'er inform you, so that you wouldn't worry."

Hearing his words, Mr. Shen glanced at Shen Jingxuan and said, "Then we should send someone to the mansion to deliver the letter. More people will search much faster."

Shen Jingxuan didn't even look at Mr. Shen and helped Madam Shen sit down.

Xie Lingxiao said: "Grandfather, I didn't think it through."

Mr. Shen knew that Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan did not pass on the news because they were afraid that they would worry.

But thinking about the rumors they heard on the street today, he and Old Madam Shen became extremely worried.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen stayed at the mansion for half a day and did not leave until the evening.

Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan lay on the bed, talking about what happened in the palace.

"Ah Xiao, do you think the emperor is a little strange?"

"Ah."

Shen Jingxuan saw him pursing his lips tightly, and her eyes flickered slightly: "Why does the emperor want to see Xu'er and Le'er so much?"

"I don't know."

After a long silence, Xie Lingxiao continued, "Xuan'er, don't let them go to the palace unless it is necessary."

So as to avoid being remembered by the emperor.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao's serious expression and always felt that he knew something, but Xie Lingxiao did not continue to speak.

The next morning, the entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion was exiled to the capital, and after Lu Zhong was beheaded, the streets became noisy again.

With the beheading of Marquis Anguo and He Jun, and the exile of the entire Anguo family, Shangjing City once again became quiet.

But after a few months of this, a figure who had not been seen for a long time appeared in the Regent's Palace.
