"It's said that on the night His Majesty issued the decree, he went to the Cloud Palace, where Concubine Rou once lived. People outside heard the noise of things being smashed. After His Majesty left, the Cloud Palace caught fire..."
"The Cloud Palace was burned down."
Concubine Rou is Mo Chen's mother, the barbarian princess who was favored by the emperor for a long time.
After Concubine Rou died of illness, Emperor Wenyuan sent the eighth prince to Huaibei City, but he also conferred the title of King Cheng on him, and kept the Yun Palace where Concubine Rou once lived untouched.
From this we can see that Emperor Wenyuan still loved Concubine Rou very much.
But now the Cloud Palace has been burned down.
What this means is actually self-evident!!!
A crack finally appeared on Mo Chen's handsome face, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but clench a little.
"As for my father, he really hasn't changed at all."
Mo Chen couldn't help but let out a cold smile: "It doesn't matter, just burn it, it's just some dead things, it's a pity that mother has put so much effort into it for me..."
There are many things left by Concubine Rou in Yun Palace.
Whenever Emperor Wenyuan thought of the past, he would remember the good things about Concubine Rou, and thus think of his son who had been sent away.
This was the only thing Concubine Rou could do for him before her death.
What a pity!
Li Rui said with some worry: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll be looked down upon when I return this time."
According to the plan, after the Shen family rises to prominence, his prince will be brought back openly on the basis of his achievements in opening the canal and subsequent operations.
Instead of being recalled under investigation.
Mo Chen concealed the gloom in his eyes, casually threw the knife in his hand onto the wooden table, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief beside him: "What's there to be afraid of, cold eyes? I have suffered a lot over the years. It's a pity for the Shen family. Such a good move was ruined just like that."
Mo Chen felt pained when he thought about the effort he had invested in the Shen family.
but.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but the hostility in his eyes suddenly dissipated. He glanced at Li Rui and asked:
"How's the investigation going?"
Li Rui replied, "It hasn't been fully investigated yet, but according to the information received so far, the young lady from the Yang family who married into the Shen family is indeed the current Duke Yang of Qi."
"The caravan that saved you when you were assassinated at the foot of Miaoshan Mountain in Yunnan is now owned by Duke Yang of Qi. However, we haven't yet confirmed whether the woman who spoke in the carriage was Duke Yang of Qi himself..."
Mo Chen's mind flashed back to the moment when the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
A soft look flashed across his narrow eyes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly as he said, "It's enough to know that it's her caravan. As for whether it's her... I will confirm it with my own eyes."
"By the way, since the Shen family is completely ruined, there's no need to keep Shen Li around anymore. Let someone deal with him before I go back!"
"As for those people from the Shen family, we can deal with them together if we can."
"yes."
In prison.
However, in just a few days, Shen Li had become noticeably more haggard, especially his once gentle and handsome face, which was now untidy and frighteningly pale.
At this time, he was huddled in the corner, sweating on his forehead.
"What's that smell?"
"It smells like a dead rat. Everyone, take a look. Is there a dead rat somewhere? This smell is too strong. I've been almost nauseated by it these past two days..."
All the people in the cell are members of the Shen family.
There are several cells.
Imprisoned with Shen Li were the elders including the head of the Shen family. It seemed that their noses were not as sensitive as before due to their age.
But I gradually smelled it in the past two days.
Patriarch Shen frowned and said, "Then let's look for it. The smell is indeed getting stronger and stronger."
They had all been exiled before, so naturally they were not afraid of dead mice. The men of the Shen family, who had been listless, stood up one by one and turned over to get under the haystack.
Search carefully one by one.
So no one noticed that Shen Li in the corner subconsciously retracted his legs, but the movement seemed to have pulled the rotten wound between his legs, and he gasped in pain.
There was more cold sweat on my forehead.
After searching for the dead mouse but still unable to find it, the Shen family members turned their attention to the cell of the Shen family elder. "Chief, you haven't found it yet. How about you look for it?"
"Yes, Chief, I always feel that the smell comes from your cell."
In fact, many people think so.
It's just that no one dared to speak up.
Patriarch Shen frowned, but was still ready to get up and look for them. However, these people were all old and had broken legs when they came back. Although they had recovered, they were all limping.
There is no walking stick.
It's hard for each of them to get up.
"Chen Li, what are you still doing sitting there?" Clan leader Shen cast his gaze on Chen Li in the corner and spoke with a frown.
The tone was not kind.
The Shen family has fallen to its current state because of Shen Li.
In the past few days, the Shen family members have been verbally condemning and cursing him. When they were angry, the elders even slapped him together.
After the anger.
No one paid any attention to him.
At this time, the eyes of the elders fell on him.
Seeing that he looked like he was dying, his eyes immediately became condemning:
"You've been sitting peacefully these past few days. If it weren't for you, our Shen family wouldn't have fallen into this situation."
"That's right. It's because you favored your concubine over your wife that you brought about this disaster. How dare you stand there and act like a jerk? Hurry up and get up and bring the dead rat out."
