Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 270

If things get out of hand, the Chu family will still have ways to deal with it and prove their innocence.

But now that the emperor clearly has doubts, they can't do anything and are completely passive, which is the most fatal thing.

"Alright." The emperor's face was grim as he said in a deep voice, "In the Battle of Feichi Valley, the Northern Yi general betrayed his country and colluded with the enemy, sending weapons to the Western Qi. I will order people to investigate this matter thoroughly."

The Shen family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's statement meant that he believed them.

The emperor straightened his expression and continued, "Minister Shen, since your defeat was a result of a plot to assassinate you, the blame cannot be placed on you. Effective immediately, I pardon you and rescind your exile sentence. You and your eldest son, Shen Jingyang, will be reinstated to your original positions and resume command of your troops, continuing to defend our northern Yi River region."

Upon hearing this, the Shen family members were overjoyed!

at last!

The Shen family endured nearly two years of hardship and finally got their chance to turn things around!

He was reinstated to his original position and regained command of troops!

The Shen family remains the renowned military family that once dominated four kingdoms!

The Shen family army, which Shen Wei and Shen Jingyang had carefully trained, was also brought back under their command, and the Shen family could finally lead troops into battle legitimately!

Shen Wei, Wen Shi, and Shen Lingjun immediately knelt down. Shen Jingyang, despite his leg injury, disregarded it and slid off his wheelchair to thank the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! My Shen family will dedicate ourselves to the peace and prosperity of the Northern Yi Kingdom, even unto death!"

The old face of the Duke of Changguo turned almost green!

The emperor actually pardoned Shen Wei's crimes and restored the official positions of Shen Wei and his father!

Doesn't this mean that the Shen family's former glory and prestige have returned overnight?

All the effort the Chu family put in has gone down the drain!

The Duke of Changguo opened his mouth to dissuade the emperor, but he had to swallow his words back.

Even in his rage, he knew he absolutely couldn't speak now. Given the emperor's suspicion of the Chu family, he was practically walking into a trap.

Unfortunately, Mo Zhonggui added fuel to the fire at this crucial moment.

With a half-smile, she looked at the Duke of Changguo and asked with feigned concern, "Your Excellency, you don't look too well. Is something wrong? Would you like the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

The emperor's gaze fell upon the Duke of Changguo, and his expression grew even more somber.

Duke Changguo: "......"

He cursed the Shen family and Mo Zhonggui a thousand times, ten thousand times in his heart, but on the surface he still had to quickly adjust his expression and force a smile:

"It's nothing. I'm happy that Marshal Shen, a loyal and virtuous man, has been exonerated, but I'm also shocked and angry to learn that there are traitors and collaborators in Bei Yi. So my feelings are a bit complicated."

Shen Wei said leisurely, "The Duke just called me a fugitive and a traitor and tried every means to prevent me from entering the palace to meet the Emperor. Now he praises me as a loyal and virtuous man. He changed his mind very quickly."
