Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"You are rebelling." Emperor Jing's eyes widened in anger and he began to cough violently. The cough was so loud that it seemed to tear his entire chest apart and was deafening.

Emperor Jing's face turned red in an instant, his breathing became more rapid, and he almost suffocated.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!" Shen Huaizhong, who was standing by, was extremely anxious when he saw this and quickly knelt down and begged.

His voice trembled, filled with endless worry and concern.

However, Emperor Jing was so overwhelmed with anger that he refused to listen to Shen Huaizhong's advice. "How can I protect my health with a traitor like you?"

Emperor Jing opened his eyes wide and stared at Shen Huaizhong, and the words he uttered were as sharp and cold as a sword.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present took a deep breath. No one expected that Emperor Jing would say such harsh words.

When Shen Huaizhong heard this, his body trembled violently and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Then, he touched his head to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "The heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon bear witness to my loyalty. I hope Your Majesty will not listen to the slanderous words of these villains!"

The thud-thud sound of his forehead hitting the ground was particularly clear in the silent imperial study.

At this moment, Emperor Jing's body suddenly shook, and he fell forward, about to fall heavily to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Dequan, who had been standing by, rushed forward and quickly supported Emperor Jing.

Dequan was extremely anxious. He gently patted Emperor Jing's back to help him breathe. At the same time, he turned around and shouted to Shen Huaizhong and Zuo Jiange, "You two adults, please go back first."

Shen Huaizhong and Zuo Jiange looked at each other and knew that staying here would only make the situation more difficult to handle.

So, the two of them bowed and slowly left the imperial study.

After the two left, Dequan carefully supported Emperor Jing, slowly walked back to the dragon throne, and then helped Emperor Jing sit down.

After the two left, Dequan carefully supported Emperor Jing, slowly walked back to the dragon throne, and then helped Emperor Jing sit down.

"Your Majesty, you know that Prime Minister Shen has always been loyal and has no second thoughts about you." Dequan comforted softly, his tone full of sincerity.

Emperor Jing sighed helplessly and said slowly, "I know this too, but my uncle is too upright and trusting. Zuo Jiange has always been a member of the Su family. How could he be so defenseless?"

During the time when Shen Huaizhong entered the palace to meet the emperor, Shen Chuning had been waiting anxiously in her study.

When Shen Chu Ning saw Shen Huaizhong returning with a face as gloomy as a dark cloud, her heart sank and she immediately realized that the situation was not good.

She hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Grandfather, have you ever successfully shirked the responsibility of reviewing the memorials?"

Shen Huaizhong was furious, "There's something wrong with Zuo Jiange!"

Shen Chuning frowned, and said to herself in confusion, "Master Zuo has been with my grandfather for twenty years. How could he suddenly..."

Before she could finish, Shen Huaizhong interrupted, "Perhaps it wasn't sudden. Perhaps he originally joined my sect with ulterior motives."

Shen Chuning nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Where does Lord Zuo usually go when he comes to our house?"
