Shuncai smiled at Shen Yan and reminded him, “Your Majesty, trespassing into the death row is a capital crime. Why are you doing this?”
As he said that, he signaled the guards behind him to arrest Shen Yan.
The Queen Mother opened her red lips and ordered slowly, "Prince Shen has trespassed into the death row. He must be arrested immediately, regardless of life or death."
After all these years, she was finally able to remove the stumbling block of Prince Shen.
Just looking at Prince Shen who was still unhurried, the Queen Mother vaguely felt that something was wrong. This man was too calm, as if the situation before him had been anticipated by him.
This feeling made the Queen Mother feel uneasy, so in order to avoid more trouble, she said coldly, "Kill him."
She won’t give Shen Yan another chance.
Xixia can have a regent, but it cannot have a regent like Shen Yan whose mind is hard to see. Although this person is talented and ambitious, he is by no means an ordinary person. In order to prevent him from having rebellious thoughts in the future, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, a voice of anger suddenly came from behind her, "Your Majesty is here, who dares to act rashly!"
Seeing that Shen Yan was about to be sent to hell, the Queen Mother would not allow anything to go wrong again, and angrily ordered, "Kill Prince Shen."
At the same time as the Queen Mother's voice, there was also a voice full of tension and anxiety, "Prince Shen is innocent, you are not allowed to be rude to Prince Shen."
The dungeon suddenly lit up, and several young eunuchs came in with torches, followed by a child wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Lu Wan walked beside him.
The moment she saw Lu Wan's face, no matter how well-mannered the empress dowager was, she almost got angry.
"You again!"
As if Lu Wan could not see the Queen Mother's rage, he bowed respectfully to her and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother asked me to be your Majesty's companion, and I dare not fail to do my best."
As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, taking in the situation in front of her.
Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise Chen Yan and Lu Changxin would have gone to hell together.
However, the current situation really made Lu Wan angry. After failing to poison her, the Queen Mother attacked people around her several times. Did she really think that Lu Wan had no temper?
Although this brother and husband came very cheaply.
The Queen Mother seemed to be unable to see Lu Wan's angry eyes, and instead urged the officers and soldiers to capture Shen Yan and the others.
"As an official appointed by the imperial court, he has no regard for the law and committed such a crime as robbing a prisoner and escaping privately. If everyone in the world does this, how can the emperor govern the country?"
"But Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Prince Shen did not break out of prison."
With the intention of deliberately attacking others, Lu Wan spoke slowly when the Queen Mother's people were about to restrain Shen Yan.
The empress dowager's eyes suddenly became sharp as she looked at the tutor who had repeatedly disturbed her.
Even the little emperor at the side felt that such a look was too malicious. Although he was afraid, he still took a step forward, trying to block his mother's gaze from looking at Sister Lu.
He said he would protect Sister Lu, and he would definitely do it.
But the little emperor forgot that his behavior was tantamount to openly opposing the empress dowager, which only made her even more dissatisfied.
"Emperor, you are standing in the wrong position, come here."
The empress dowager glanced at the little emperor indifferently, her eyes full of pressure.
Lu Wan was not a soft persimmon who needed protection. She bowed to the Queen Mother and performed the most politely. Then she said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. The country is your Majesty's country. Naturally, your Majesty can stand wherever he wants. How can you say it is wrong?"
The little emperor trembled under the Queen Mother's gaze, but still looked at the Queen Mother bravely without flinching, "Mother, I have found out that this woman is innocent, so I let Prince Shen take the woman away. There must be some misunderstanding."
The empress dowager, who was betrayed by her son, looked even uglier. Even Shuncai, who always knew how to please the empress dowager, stood aside with his head lowered and did not dare to say a word. His heart was filled with tears. This little emperor was too stupid. He knew clearly that the empress dowager did not like Prince Shen and his gang, but he still wanted to get involved. Isn't this because he was dissatisfied with his life being too smooth?
The young emperor had always followed the empress dowager's orders. Now that he had clearly expressed his thoughts for the first time, he was unwilling to give in.
The empress dowager was keenly aware of the little emperor's attitude. She blamed it all on Lu Wan. Her son had always been weak. If it weren't for the instigation of this tutor, how could he embarrass her in front of so many people?
As if making a final struggle, the empress dowager said, "Since you are here by imperial order, where is the imperial edict?" If there is no imperial edict, it will still be a crime of breaking and entering a prison.
Chen Yan quickly replied, "I came here on a verbal order, not an imperial decree."
"Yeah?"
The Queen Mother answered casually, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry. She just looked at the little emperor for a long time, which made Lu Wan's palms sweat.
"The emperor has grown up."
Leaving behind this sigh which was not really an emotion, the Queen Mother turned and left.
When they arrived at the Criminal Court, Shuncai spoke carefully, "In fact, if the Queen Mother had said a few more words just now, His Majesty might have listened to you. Isn't it always like this in the past?"
"It was true in the past, but it may not be true in the future." The Queen Mother laughed sarcastically, "He is now more attached to Lu Wan than to me, his own mother, but he never thought about who I am doing this for."
Shuncai didn't dare to say anything else, but just carefully waited for the Queen Mother to return to the palace.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had retreated, Lu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to check on Lu Changqing's condition.
Lu Changxin also seemed to have realized what was happening, and asked hurriedly, "How is it?"
There were no instruments here, so Lu Wan could only draw a preliminary conclusion, "It's not good. Her forehead is burning. She needs treatment as soon as possible."
This also reminded the others present, and the little emperor hurried forward and said, "Send Miss Lu back to Prince Shen's Mansion first. I will order the imperial physician to treat her."
Yes, in order to seek the help of the little emperor, Lu Wan told him everything he could. Fortunately, the little emperor was different from the empress dowager. He was tolerant and kind to everyone.
This was a blessing from heaven, and everyone hurried to express their gratitude. However, it was obvious that the little emperor did not realize how much he needed to be thanked for his action, and he just waved his hand casually.
With a bang, the sword in Ying's hand fell to the ground. He knelt down in front of Chen Yan but said nothing.
Chen Yan followed Lu Wan and left. When he saw Ying kneeling, he did not stop for a moment, but said coldly, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Ying had saved him many times, but this time he was betrayed. Although Shen Yan was angry, he still wanted to find out the reason.
Without speaking to Ying, Shen Yan stopped when he passed by the little emperor.
"Your Majesty did a great job today."
The little emperor felt a little embarrassed when being praised, but he just stood there very stiffly.
