Chapter 115 Resignation
Shen Tianming was so angry that he broke Xie Jingchen's heart.
Xie Jingchen finally died in endless pain.
Several people in the crowd clenched their fists and dared not look at Xie Jingchen's body. They must avenge the prince!
After Xie Jingchen died, Shen Tianming lit a big fire and burned his body to ashes.
The hot flames burned Shen Qingtang's cheeks, and her eyes were slightly moist.
[Old lady, Miss Lan'er, and those dead girls and soldiers, I finally avenged you. ]
[Now that Xie Jingchen is dead, Beiming Kingdom is likely to take this opportunity to openly form an alliance with Dongling Kingdom. At that time, they will definitely go to war with Fengyin Kingdom. 】
【With the current strength of Fengyin Kingdom, it is not enough to resist the siege of two big countries at the same time. 】
After hearing Shen Qingtang's voice, Shen Tianming gradually woke up from his grief.
He regretted it at this moment. He should have kept Xie Jingchen alive, so that he could have caught the handle of the Emperor of Beiming Kingdom.
It's over, it's over, Fengyin Kingdom is in trouble now!
It's all because he was too impulsive!
"Return to the palace!"
Shen Tianming didn't have any thoughts of hunting now. He had to go back and think of a countermeasure!
Not long after, Shen Tianming took Shen Muchen back to the palace.
In Fengluan Palace, Mu Wan was drinking tea leisurely. When she heard the news of Shen Muchen's death, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
"What did you say?" Her pupils shrank, and she stood up and grabbed the maid's shoulders, "Say it again?!"
"Your Majesty, the Third Princess has... passed away." The maid's voice trembled slightly.
"I don't believe it!"
Mu Wan ran out of Fengluan Palace in a panic, not caring about any etiquette.
She came to Zhaixing Palace, and Shen Tianming had already placed Shen Muchen in the wooden coffin.
The stiff body and cold skin all told Mu Wan that her daughter had passed away.
"Your Majesty, what is going on? Didn't Xin'er go hunting with you guys? How could she become like this?"
Mu Wan's eyes were red and tears kept falling, which made Shen Tianming feel distressed.
"Wan'er, don't get excited yet, I'm going to tell you now..."
The guards had already told Shen Tianming the whole story. He never thought that Xin'er actually liked Xie Jingchen to this extent.
If time could go back, he should have ordered Xin'er not to meet that bastard!
But it's too late to say anything now...
After understanding what happened, Mu Wan cried even more sadly.
God knows how happy she was when she gave birth to this only daughter. Although Shen Muchen was not her biological child, Shen Muchen's arrival brought a lot of joy to Mu Wan and the others.
The happy and warm scenes in the past replayed in Mu Wan's mind. She carefully stroked Shen Muxin's face and said lovingly, "Xin'er, you will always be the daughter of the queen mother. The queen mother loves you."
Shen Tianming still had to deal with other things, so the burial of Shen Muxin was left to Mu Wan to arrange.
Lu Jiuan followed closely behind Shen Tianming and returned to the Golden Palace together.
As soon as he entered the palace, Lu Jiuan knelt down in front of Shen Tianming.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply responsible for the murder of the Third Princess. I am ashamed to be the commander of the Imperial Guards anymore. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Shen Tianming turned his head and looked at him, and said gloomily, "You failed to protect the Third Princess, you should be punished."
The news of Shen Muchin's murder was told to him by Shen Qingtang, which means Shen Qingtang was present at the time, and he ordered Lu Jiuan to protect Shen Qingtang, which means Lu Jiuan was also present at the time!
Shen Tianming narrowed his eyes slightly, and the atmosphere around him was solemn: "Lu Jiuan, when did you meet the Third Princess and the others?"
Lu Jiuan: ...
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, he did not help them and he deserved to be punished.
But Lu Jiuan did not dare to tell the truth. The deaths of the Third Princess and Prince Xie were all set by the Fourth Princess, and the emperor could not know about this.
Lu Jiuan didn't know that Shen Tianming could also hear Shen Qingtang's thoughts. He thought that Shen Tianming also wanted to kill Xie Jingchen, and it was just a coincidence that the man in black met Xie Jingchen who was trapped in the formation.
As a person, Lu Jiuan wanted to protect Shen Qingtang.
On one side was the emperor, and on the other side was the fourth princess.
Lu Jiuan made his choice without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I was secretly following the fourth princess at that time. When I got there, the third princess had already been held hostage by Prince Xie."
