The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

"You said, 'This child is tender and good-looking. It would be a pleasure to raise him in the harem in the future.'"

"'When I become emperor, I'm going to raise a few of them and try it out!'"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall exploded again.

"shut up!"

The emperor shouted angrily and took a step back unconsciously.

"Slander! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"slander?"

Shen Kuo sneered and suddenly pulled something out from his sleeve.

It is a mottled and dilapidated jade pendant.

"Do you still remember this thing?"

"Then you stood up and poured wine on me, then placed the jade pendant over the candle flame until it was scorching hot, and then—"

"It hit my right chest!"

"You also said to me: 'Remember this night, for it is the beginning of your glory, Shen Kuo.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Kuo unbuttoned his collar, revealing a round burn scar that had already turned white but was extremely clear.

“Oh my god…”

"I was only six years old then..."

"Ah...I, this old minister, can't bear to think about it anymore..."

……

Shen Runing's eyes were bloodshot, and tears were stuck in her eyes, not a single drop could fall.

My whole body was shaking and even breathing became difficult.

"elder brother……"

She spoke almost through gritted teeth.

"Big brother..."

Then he took two steps at a time and walked towards Shen Kuo.

He rushed forward and quickly reached out to pull Shen Kuo's collar up, his movements anxious and trembling.

Her hands were cold and trembling. The hand holding the collar of her clothes was shaking all the time, but she held it tightly and refused to let go.

"enough……"

Shen Runing's voice trembled.

"Brother, that's enough, stop talking, please..."

"Ning'er, please..."

Shen Runing shook his head like a madman.

The tears finally fell, hot and boiling.

"No, no need for this..."

she murmured.

"You don't have to tear yourself apart for them to see, you don't have to say a word, you don't have to prove anything..."

Then he let out a long breath.

"kill him."

The tone was very light.

"Just kill him, okay?"

"Yes, kill him."

Suddenly he turned around and looked at Luo Mian.

That look was blood red, stubborn, desperate, and fierce.

This was the first time Luo Mian saw Shen Runing like this.

Luo Mian's eyes moved slightly, and in just a second, he understood what Shen Runing meant.

He said nothing and didn't hesitate.

It’s okay to kill him.

Now, immediately, right away.

Luo Mian took a step forward, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Yunshui and Mushan also raised their blades with red eyes.

And Wei Lin, who was pinching the talisman paper with his hands and was just one step away from making a "break" sound.

"and many more."

It was Shen Kuo's voice.

The sound was not loud, but it stopped Luo Mian and the others in their tracks.

"The wound has been torn open."

"Now, there's nothing to hide."

"I've thought many times about whether I should understand myself... cleanly."

"But then I realized that dying is too easy."

Shen Kuo took a step forward.

"Luo Xuan, do you think you came here today just to cry or scream for me?"

Shen Kuo shook his head and smiled softly.

"Do not."

"I'm here today to expose, before the entire court, the filth you've hidden for fourteen years, layer by layer—"

“—peel it off.”

"Don't you want the throne?"

"Don't you love to be remembered in history?"

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."

"When future generations open history books, they will not see glorious military achievements behind the glorious reign titles."

"It's not diligence and benevolence."

"But how did you, in the Imperial Garden, take a six-year-old child—"

"Press it into hell with your own hands."

"Your name, Luo Xuan, will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame for generations to come."

He paused and gave an almost sick smile.

"You said that night was the beginning of my glory."

"It's a pity you don't know..."

"That night was also the beginning of your...destruction."

……

"I am innocent! This is a frame-up!"

"you……"

"You and Luo Mian are in cahoots!"

The emperor's face turned pale.

"Nonsense, you... you bastard, how can you prove that it was me who burned you!——"

Shen Kuo's face looked very ugly.

He was also breathing rapidly and in very bad condition.

Shen Runing looked at Luo Mian, and their eyes met. Luo Mian already understood what Shen Runing meant.

'give it to you. ’

Luo Mian raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Empress Dowager Shouren?"

The tone is frivolous.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

These five words instantly shattered the brief silence.

Everyone's eyes almost involuntarily turned to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager's expression suddenly changed, and an unnatural look flashed across her originally expressionless face.

"Luo Mian, what do you mean?"

The Queen Mother's voice sounded a little low.

Luo Mian looked at him with disdain.

"That night in the Imperial Garden."

After a pause,

"The three of them are in Ming."

"And you, the Queen Mother, are in the dark."

These words instantly tore through the Empress Dowager's last line of defense.

The Queen Mother's expression was stiff.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, you traitor."

Luo Mian chuckled, as if he had expected the Empress Dowager to answer like this.

He turned and walked towards the Queen Mother.

Walking and talking.

"And you, the Empress Dowager, who is hiding in the dark—"

"—You still have a 'fake' father-in-law with you, right?"

When the voice fell, Guo Bin, who had been lying on the ground writing the report,

Finally finished...

The moment he looked up, his face was as pale as paper and his fingers were trembling. It was obvious that he had lost too much blood and was suffering from a lack of energy and blood.

If Qiu Ping had not been unable to bear the confrontation between Shen Kuo and the emperor and lent him some of his palm blood to use as ink, Guo Bin would probably have written himself to death.

The moment he stood up, he heard Luo Mian say, "You still have a 'fake' eunuch following you, right?"

Guo Bin's mind was a little slow and he blurted out subconsciously.

"Fake? Fake eunuch?"

"What do you mean?"

Luo Mian turned to look at him and explained patiently.

"That's it—a man who hasn't purged himself, dressed up as a eunuch."

Guo Bin blinked, still seeming not to understand.

It might be that excessive blood loss caused brain deprivation of oxygen, so he continued to ask questions.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Mian burst out laughing.

"The Empress Dowager's male favorite..."

"Oh, Mr. Guo, you are so old, how come you have no experience at all?"
