Chapter 55: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



Lu Jinyue had never met Shen Weitian when he was still in office, so naturally she didn't know that she had met with Shen Weitian and had talked a lot with him.

This alone is something that many people cannot match.

"Ah!" Shen Yunheng's low roar brought her back to her wandering thoughts.

When Shen Yunheng heard that Shen Weitian was not dead but only had two legs crippled, he seemed to be going crazy.

His two fists kept pounding the cold and hard ground. His hair crown had already become crooked and his black hair had already become messy.

His face was hideous and ferocious, like a demon from hell.

He looked like a beggar, like an evil spirit, but not like the handsome and elegant Crown Prince.

As if he had vented all his anger, after roaring, Shen Yunheng leaned against the wall covered with black dirt, panting, cold sweat running down his cheeks, and his hair stuck to it.

Since he was imprisoned here, no one has come to treat him.

When his leg went from being in severe pain to being swollen and festering, he knew it was beyond saving.

He was so angry at Shen Yunxiao's words that he felt that his life would not last long.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily before you return to the capital."

Shen Yunxiao poured another cup of tea for Lu Jinyue. His movements were skillful and elegant, which was pleasing to the eye.

Soon a doctor came forward to examine him, treated his wounds briefly, fed him some pills, and then left.

We've seen people, talked, and it's time for this journey to end.

The next morning we set off back to the capital.

There was a good news from the front, saying that General Hua was attacked on the road. Fortunately, he had the help of a crossbow, which was extremely powerful and killed all the enemies without leaving a single piece of armor.

They caught the leader and found a special opening for sneaking in and out.

Even in May, when the weather is very good, there are still places where the ice has not melted.

That is a mountain range that runs through Dayui, Nanmo and Beiming.

Most of this mountain range belongs to Da Rui, the middle to the north belongs to Nanmo, and the very end belongs to Beiming.

It is snowing here, and even in summer, there is still snow on the highest peaks.

It was because Bei Ming discovered this that he found a breakthrough to sneak into the Dayui Dynasty.

Although many people froze to death or starved to death along the way, fortunately the effect was significant.

Over the years, they have been secretly recruiting people from Da Rui, just to wait for an opportunity.

Shen Yunheng was ambitious and unwilling to have his throne taken away, so he reached this cooperation with them.

These plans were pried out by General Hua from the captured leaders.

Under severe torture, the tough guy confessed everything.

After hearing this, Shen Yunxiao's face darkened. After keeping the secret letter, he leaned on Lu Jinyue's shoulder and dozed off.

The convoy traveled for dozens of days, and when Lu Jinyue's belly was slightly bulging, the convoy finally drove into the city gate of the capital.

Shen Weitian had already received his message and was waiting at the city gate with everyone.

When the familiar figure appeared before him, he finally felt relieved.

When approaching the city gate, Shen Yunxiao deliberately rode a tall horse, and the chestnut horse made him look even more energetic.

The father and son looked at each other from a distance, and Shen Yunxiao's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

All the officials were welcoming them into the city.

When they saw the half-dead Shen Yunheng in the prison van, they all gasped.

Is this man with a dirty face and messy hair their former Crown Prince?

There were also Gentile men and women in the prison van behind.

How come there are still Gentiles?

Didn’t a fake delegation of envoys from the Nanmo Kingdom appear a few days ago?

When the prince was linked to foreigners, some well-educated scholars quickly thought of some shocking secrets.

"Could it be that the prince is colluding with these people?"

"It's hard to say no!"

"My God, isn't this a traitor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue vegetable leaf flew out from the side and hit Shen Yunheng's head accurately.

All of a sudden, all the rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and sour steamed buns were thrown onto Shen Yunheng's body and head, realizing their final value.

The people have suffered from war for a long time, and every time a war breaks out, those young soldiers have to go to the battlefield.

The general dies in a hundred battles, and the warrior returns after ten years.

The youngest ones went to war when they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and some parents cried so much that they even went blind.

Now that they knew that the war might have been caused by the prince, they vented all their hatred for the war on him.

When he entered the palace, Shen Yunheng's body was already covered with all kinds of messy things.

His bandaged leg began to bleed again, and the pain and itchiness felt as unbearable as if thousands of ants were crawling in his bones.

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work." Shen Weitian said to Shen Yunxiao who had turned over and dismounted, his tone quite gratified.

Shen Yunxiao looked at Shen Weitian sitting in a wheelchair, kneeling on one knee respectfully, and taking off his military uniform. He was wearing a dark long gown, looking quite cold.

When he looked up again, his eyes were warm, just like the admiration he had for his father when he was a child.

Lu Jinyue had already seen the white-haired old man in the bamboo hut, and her eyes were full of astonishment.

But then she thought again, it seemed like the other party had already given her such a clear hint, but she hadn't thought of it yet.

Instead, she was a little careless.

"It's you!" she exclaimed in surprise, feeling both happy and excited.

"Business is important. We can talk about reminiscing later." After calming down, she said this in a tactful manner.

Shen Weitian was very pleased to see her again. This was the first time he appeared in front of Lu Jinyue as Shen Yunxiao's father, and he had a very strange feeling.

Before Shen Yunxiao had time to change his clothes, he took a group of ministers to attend the morning court.

The situation today was special. Although it was past the morning court time, it was not yet noon, and the scene of gathering together for the morning court was very solemn.

Especially when the emperor was sitting next to the throne.

It is a rare scene for two emperors to appear at the same time.

The crime committed by Chen Yunheng was too serious, and the Dali Temple was no longer suitable for trial. Only he, the retired emperor, could try him!

When Chen Yunheng was carried in in a filthy state, all the ministers sighed.

Some old ministers who had supported the prince before were now filled with anger when they learned about the evil things he had done.

"Chen Yunheng, you poisoned our father, framed your brother, and colluded with foreign nations to usurp the throne. Do you admit your guilt for all these past events?"

Shen Weitian looked at Shen Yunheng who was kneeling down and couldn't even kneel properly and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Weitian already knew about the injury on his leg, so he didn't emphasize it deliberately.

Chen Yunheng knew that the situation was already decided, so he simply stopped pretending and sat on the ground and started to act badly.

"Father, you are not dead? I am so happy." Chen Yunheng slowly took off the rotten vegetable leaves hanging on his head and said something irrelevant.

Shen Weitian felt desolate in his heart. This was the child he had devoted all his efforts to nurturing!

He raised an ungrateful person!

A ungrateful person who tries to unite with foreigners to encroach upon the Great Rui Dynasty!
