Chapter 384 Indirect Kiss (1)
Shen Miao was in a state of uncertainty. She no longer stood there arguing with the Shen family. Instead, she quickly returned to her room without even turning back. Outside, Shen Gui and his group had seen enough of the excitement and wanted to inquire about the matter, so they also dispersed in twos and threes. Shen Yue followed Chen Ruoqiu, but a hint of joy appeared on her face. Hearing yesterday that it was Concubine Dong Shu who met Shen Miao and Luo Xueyan, Shen Yue felt very uneasy. Concubine Dong Shu was the mother of Prince Ding after all. What if she caught Concubine Dong Shu's eye and tried to make random connections? Fortunately, today, it seemed that it was the eldest wife who was unlucky.
Thinking of this, Shen Yue's steps seemed to lighten up.
However, Shen Dongling, who was holding the hand of Aunt Wan, looked at the yard thoughtfully and followed her back.
The vast West Courtyard was deserted in an instant. Even Ah Zhi had returned to the Shen Family Army with Shen Xin's guards. Emperor Wen Hui suddenly summoned people to the palace, and the Shen Family Army was naturally imprisoned. Fortunately, Mo Qing was still there, because Mo Qing had not yet been discerned in the Shen Family Army.
Inside the room, Jingzhe, Guyu, Bailu, Shuangjiang, and the other four all stood behind Shen Miao. Mo Qing stood at the door with his head bowed, a hint of solemnity on his face. Although Shen Dongling suggested that perhaps Emperor Wenhui was continuing to reward Shen Xin, everyone knew that was impossible.
Shen Miao sat at the table with a frown on her face, which comforted Mo Qing a little. He had originally worried that Shen Miao would be nervous and at a loss after hearing the news, but now he saw that although Shen Miao's face looked gloomy, she was not nervous at all.
Shen Miao looked at the letter in front of her. The Shen family was only later wiped out by Fu Xiuyi. She had tried to stop him at that time, but Fu Xiuyi had listed the Shen family's crimes one by one in front of the entire court, leaving her speechless. Although she knew it was all false, the false evidence was so convincing that it made her feel powerless to refute it.
That day in the Golden Throne Hall, every scene of the past was etched into her mind like a knife and an axe. The denunciation of Shen Yuan was told day by day, scene by scene, according to the length of time. It was now the sixty-ninth year of the Ming Qi era, and she was reborn in the sixty-eighth year of the Ming Qi era. The evidence in the things Shen Yuan presented to Fu Xiuyi must have occurred in the sixty-eighth year of the Ming Qi era or earlier.
What crimes had the Shen family committed before the 68th year of Ming Qi?
Shen Miao closed her eyes, and certain fragments flashed through her mind for a moment.
She was wearing the empress's court dress, and even the phoenix hairpins on her head couldn't hide the chaos around her. The civil and military officials were all excited, but Pei Lang lowered his head indifferently, and Fu Xiuyi angrily threw the memorial in her face.
A civil official was reading: "In the 68th year of Ming Qi, the officers and soldiers of the Shen family disobeyed the emperor's order, released the bandits privately, and deceived the emperor..."
Releasing the bandits privately is deceiving the emperor and deceiving superiors!
Shen Miao suddenly opened her eyes!
She suddenly remembered that in the 68th year of Ming Qi, a major event had indeed occurred. Chen Xin had fought against the Western Rong, defeated them, and captured three cities. Emperor Wenhui then issued an order that all those in the cities be executed without mercy.
For a general, massacring a city is the most brutal feat. Besides the soldiers, the people in the Western Rong city were mostly the elderly, the weak, women, and children. These elderly, the weak, women, and children were usually as peaceful and harmless as the people of Ming Qi. The only fault was the Western Rong soldiers. Chen Xin, not one to take kindly to killing, privately spared the lives of the women and children.
No one except the Shen Family Army should know about this. The Shen Family Army members were all brought up by Chen Xin, so there's no way they'd betray him. This must have been Chen Yuan's contribution. Perhaps Chen Yuan had planted a hidden pawn in the Shen Family Army long before.
However, after the Crown Prince was deposed, the entire Shen family was pursued for numerous crimes, and the charge of "deceiving the emperor" seemed less important. However, in the hands of the usually steady Fu Xiuyi, it was singled out at this premature moment, which only shows that the current situation has made Fu Xiuyi feel the crisis, and the Shen family has become a variable. In this life, because she and Fu Xiuyi did not have the entanglement, Fu Xiuyi did not stop Emperor Wenhui from allowing the Shen family to stay for a few more years. Finally, the royal family has set its sights on the Shen family's lucrative share.
