Old Lord Shen was brought in. He looked at the mess here, the emperor who was not injured at all, and the accused killer.
He knew he had lost.
The emperor looked at Elder Shen coldly, "Is this the result that my uncle wanted?"
Things have come to this, and Mr. Shen is now calm, "This should be the result that the emperor wants."
"The Emperor has repeatedly ignored the Shen family. Even if this old minister does nothing, will this end well?"
"You dote on Jiang Shi so much, and Jiang Shi hates our Shen family. If she can cruelly instigate you to kill Shen Jun, will she spare the rest of us?"
"I, the old minister, am only trying to save my own life."
"The Emperor was blinded by beauty and forgot about our old friendship."
He spread his hands, still not feeling that he had done anything wrong.
"Really?" The emperor sneered, "So in Uncle Yu's eyes, if I were to reduce the power of the Shen family, I would be killing them."
"My uncle has always been kind to me, supporting me and caring for me. I will always remember this, but he should also know that I cannot simply rely on a king who is a relative of mine."
"If my uncle had been more sensible and abdicated, the Shen family wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Even though I already knew what my uncle was planning, I still wanted to give him a chance, so when Concubine Shen invited me over, I came."
"But the Shen family really disappoints me."
"My uncle is so calm, I think he is ready to fight to the death. Then I will sentence the entire Shen family to death, leaving no one alive."
Elder Shen's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing stagnated, and he quickly said, "This is the fault of this old minister alone, and has nothing to do with anyone else. The blood of the Shen family also flows in His Majesty's veins, but I hope His Majesty can spare the life of the Shen family's young child."
However, the emperor only glanced at Elder Shen nonchalantly, "If I die as a result of my uncle's scheme, after supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne for several years, will my uncle spare the lives of the crown prince and the princess?"
Old Master Shen suddenly fell to the ground.
If he sent assassins to kill the emperor successfully, the prince would naturally be able to tolerate him since he was still young.
But he killed the prince's father with his own hands. To be on the safe side, he would let the daughter of the Shen family give birth to an heir for the prince as soon as possible. In this way, the prince would be of no use.
Not to mention the little princess.
"Uncle, we are the same as uncle and nephew. You should understand me."
"Take Mr. Shen away and execute him on a later date."
Although the emperor said that in front of Mr. Shen, he still spared the lives of everyone except the main branch of the Shen family and sentenced them to exile.
Concubine Shen intended to kill the emperor, but she failed. However, the emperor announced to the outside world that he was injured, and the injury was very serious.
Because of Concubine Shen's murder of the emperor, the emperor wanted to send all the concubines in the harem except Jiang Yi out of the palace for his own safety.
The concubines in the palace were unwilling to hear this.
They originally came from humble backgrounds, and some of them were even from farming families. They were chosen to enter the palace just because they looked like they were good at giving birth.
In the palace, they had fine clothes and delicious food and did not have to serve the emperor. The empress also seemed kind and even exempted them from paying their respects.
Such a leisurely and comfortable life is a blessing they can never have even if they live for several lifetimes.
How could they bear to give up such a rich life and live a hard life outside the palace?
So they all knelt before the emperor, first cursing Concubine Shen's ancestors for eighteen generations, and finally saying that they were completely different from Concubine Shen.
They also expressed how much they loved the emperor, and then they all took out a dagger, saying that they could cut off their flesh to replenish the emperor's body, in order to express their love for the emperor.
The emperor looked at them in horror and quickly ordered someone to take away the dagger, but they were unwilling.
They are determined to express themselves.
The emperor said, "Even if you dare to cut my flesh, I wouldn't dare eat it."
"I really don't need it."
The concubines said: "We only want to stay with the emperor."
emperor:"......"
Finally, Jiang Yi came in. She smiled and said to the concubines, "I'm just asking you to move out of the palace and live in a different place. Everything else is the same as in the palace."
"After all, you have spent a lot of time in the palace. Whether it is the emperor or I, I am willing to take responsibility for the rest of your lives."
"If you don't want to get married in the future, you can live in the Taoist temple. Even though it's called a Taoist temple, you don't need to practice seclusion. It's the same as living in the palace."
"If you want to get married, the palace will also provide a dowry."
"Anyone who leaves the palace today can also receive an extra sum of silver."
When they heard this, their eyes lit up and they swarmed around Jiang Yi.
"Your Majesty, I want to leave the palace."
"Your Majesty, I, too, must leave the palace."
"Your Majesty, I want to get married. My third cousin and I were childhood sweethearts. He lost his wife two years ago, and I want to marry him as his successor."
"Your Majesty, you are truly the best person in the world."
"Empress, I love you."
The emperor looked at this scene with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Jiang Yi put everything in place before turning around to look at the emperor.
The emperor covered his chest without any hands and said, "Sister, it hurts here."
"Sister, I was scared by them just now."
"Sister is still the best."
Jiang Yi's face didn't look good. She went to check the emperor's wound and found that the emperor was not injured at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to the emperor in a bad mood, "Even if it was a play, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
