By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor summoned Lin Desheng, the governor of Cangzhou, and Wu Dawei, the county magistrate, for their corruption, their indifference to human life, and their failure to serve the government... Their crimes are unforgivable. They are now dismissed from their posts and handed over to King Xuan for investigation... If there is irrefutable evidence, they can be executed on the spot. I decree this.

"Your son obeys your command. Long live the emperor."

King Xuan took the imperial edict with both hands and then stood up with the help of Censor Wang.

"Your Majesty, please stand up."

After King Xuan stood up, he first waved his hand to signal the people to take away the distraught and dull-eyed Lin Desheng and Wu Dawei.

Then he looked at Censor Wang and said with a smile, "Censor Wang, you guys came pretty fast!"

Censor Wang sighed a little tiredly, "My Lord! You don't know, I almost lost my life on the road.

At first it was OK, I could still ride by myself, but later on it became harder, and the guards had to take turns carrying me on the road."

Censor Wang was holding his old waist while complaining to King Xuan.

He almost said directly that he wanted to take a rest.

King Xuan pretended not to see it and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard." There was no further news.

and then?

Censor Wang just looked at him in disbelief. Could it be that the prince wanted me to do something for him right now?

Then the King Xuan's voice was heard asking, "Does the Emperor have anything to tell you?"

Censor Wang quickly came to his senses, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Emperor told you not to forget your mission in He County."

King Xuan sighed and replied, "I understand. Since you are here, I will set out the next day.

I'll trouble you, Lord Wang, for the rest of the matter before the person who will take over arrives."

Censor Wang said respectfully, "I don't deserve the title. The person who will take over is already on the way and should be here soon."

King Xuan looked at the tired, dark and thin old man and couldn't bear to ask him to work now.

So he said, "That's good. Then, my lord, take a good rest today. I will tell you the rest tomorrow morning."

Wang Yushi immediately smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go back to the post station first and come back tomorrow morning."

King Xuan nodded, and then watched the old man walk away happily.

After returning to the hall, he was silent for a moment before he finally spoke. His voice was like the north wind in the cold winter, chilling to the bone: "Pass the order down, Lin Desheng and Wu Dawei will be executed in the street at noon tomorrow.

The rest of the male family members were exiled 2,000 miles away, the female members were confiscated by the Jiaofang Bureau, and all the maids and servants were sold.”

His voice echoed in the hall with unquestionable authority.

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Someone in the hall answered, then quickly stepped out to convey the order.

After King Xuan announced these cruel orders one by one, his eyes were firm, his expression remained unchanged, and there was no wavering in his heart.

There was only relief, as things here had finally come to an end.

After everyone left, King Xuan slowly sat back in his chair and continued to pick up the documents on the table and began to read them.

In the evening, when King Xuan returned, it was already late at night, and Shen Jingyi had already fallen asleep on the couch, holding a sachet tightly in her hand.

King Xuan tiptoed over and sat down, gazing quietly at her sweet sleeping face.

After a moment, he gently took the sachet from her hand, looked at it carefully, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it.

A fresh mint aroma wafts into my nose, which seems to be mixed with the taste of borneol, which is very refreshing.

King Xuan liked the sachet very much and put it away immediately.

Then, he stretched out his arms, gently picked up Shen Jingyi, placed her on the bed, and lay down on her too.

Shen Jingyi subconsciously arched her back in King Xuan's arms, looking for a comfortable position, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

King Xuan looked at her sleeping as soundly as a pig and couldn't help but chuckle.

He kissed her forehead tenderly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Jingyi woke up as soon as King Xuan moved.

"My Lord, are you going to get up?"

Shen Jingyi asked softly, with a hint of sleepiness in her voice.

"Yeah, it's still early, you should get some sleep."

King Xuan's voice was gentle. He gently stroked Shen Jingyi's hair and motioned her to continue sleeping.

However, Shen Jingyi sat up and blinked her eyes, trying to dispel the sleepiness.

"I've already prepared the sachet for you. It's just..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head to search for the sachet in her hand, but suddenly found that her hands were empty.

"Hey, where's my sachet!"

She said in surprise and began to search left and right on the bed.

King Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her lovely appearance.

"Don't look for it, it's right here!"

As he spoke, he took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi took it and then hugged King Xuan's waist.

His eyes sparkled with joy.

"So you took it! I spent several days embroidering this sachet. Do you like it?" she asked expectantly.

King Xuan kissed Shen Jingyi's forehead deeply, his eyes full of love.

"Of course I like it. I like the style, the smell, and the person who made it likes it even more."

Shen Jingyi was extremely happy to hear King Xuan's praise, and she couldn't help but kiss him on the lips.

King Xuan felt her passion. He held the back of Shen Jingyi's head tightly and gradually deepened the kiss.

The two were immersed in the sweet atmosphere, enjoying each other's love.

Finally, when I was moved, I ended it reluctantly.

He lowered his head, glanced at his lower back, and cursed helplessly: "You little rascal, did you do this on purpose?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shen Jingyi laughed happily. She rolled away mischievously and hid at the innermost part of the bed, leaving King Xuan looking at her helplessly and dotingly.

Finally, King Xuan had no choice but to go out and practice swordplay, intending to expend his energy on physical exertion.

Shen Jingyi was overjoyed and at the same time moved by his behavior.

He is a prince, and if he hadn't met her, he wouldn't have to treat himself so badly.

Before breakfast, King Xuan came back, took a quick bath, and then took Shen Jingyi to sit at the table.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence, and after a while they put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time.

Seeing that Prince Xuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, Shen Jingyi could not help but ask softly, "Prince, are you leaving?"

King Xuan nodded, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I will leave tomorrow morning."

"So soon?" Even though Shen Jingyi had already guessed it, she still showed a hint of reluctance.

King Xuan nodded and sighed softly;

"At noon today, Lin Desheng and Wu Dawei were executed, and their families were also dealt with;

After I tell Censor Wang about the rest today, we will set out tomorrow morning."

Shen Jingyi was reluctant to let him go, but it was necessary for him to go on a business trip. She suppressed her reluctance and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask them to prepare some dry food for you today. You can take it with you on the road, and then have someone pack some things and send them to you later."

King Xuan responded gently, "Okay, don't prepare too much. If you need anything, you can buy it in the towns you pass by."

Shen Jingyi nodded, "I know, it will be inconvenient for you to travel if you bring too many."
