Chapter 435 No Pieces, Just an Imperial Decree
This isn't a reward; it's clearly a way for him to make her plant all the land in the Crimson Flame Dynasty so he can collect rent, isn't it?
"Then why don't you want this or that? What exactly do you want? Just tell me, and I'll agree to it right away..." Xiao Jingchen was going crazy with Lin Luoxi's unpredictable mood.
He clearly remembered that she used to love those lands the most, so how come she didn't like them anymore after a while?
"Give my mother and sister-in-law an imperial title..." Lin Luoxi thought for a moment. He lacked nothing now, so he would try to get an imperial title for his mother and sister-in-law.
"That's easy, I'll draft the decree right away..." Xiao Jingchen was afraid that Lin Luoxi would change her mind, so he immediately had someone set out the writing materials and began to write quickly.
To be honest, Lin Luoxi felt sorry for this poor emperor. Knowing that he had nothing, she still tried to obtain these empty titles. Lin Luoxi still had a conscience.
In the blink of an eye, the two imperial edicts were written, and Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Luoxi with anticipation.
Shen Jifeng, whose crimes were discovered and who was then arrested by Xiao Jingchen, was filled with fear and resentment as she listened to Lin Luoxi and Xiao Jingchen discussing how to bring down the Shen family in front of her.
Unexpectedly, her actions today became the death knell for the Shen family.
"That's easy."
"Guards, seize Shen Jifeng! She is plotting to become the new empress; her crimes are heinous. Throw her in jail immediately!" Lin Luoxi ordered her men to seize Shen Jifeng without hesitation.
"Let's see who dares..." Prime Minister Shen, who rushed in from outside, immediately roared upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words.
"Prime Minister Shen, what an imposing official you are!" No wonder Xiao Jingchen wanted to get rid of this thorn in his side.
It seems that she is relying on her status as a veteran of two dynasties to act arrogantly. Even when Emperor Xiao Jingchen was standing here, she did not immediately kneel down, but instead chose to glare angrily at Lin Luoxi.
"I wouldn't dare, how could I compare to Princess Changping's official prestige?" After saying this, Prime Minister Shen even snorted through his nostrils.
"Now that Prime Minister Shen is here, I don't need to send anyone else on the way."
"Guards, seize Prime Minister Shen!" Seeing that Prime Minister Shen was pointing his nose at him, Lin Luoxi immediately ordered her men to seize him.
"Princess Changping, even if you want to arrest me, you must produce evidence of my crimes; otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public..."
Prime Minister Shen was certain that Lin Luoxi wouldn't dare to touch him, so he stood stiffly, staring straight at Lin Luoxi.
"Alright, since Prime Minister Shen wants evidence, then I will produce it."
"Brother Hanchuan, produce the evidence that Prime Minister Shen has been secretly buying and abusing young girls over the years, resulting in the tragic deaths of 130 young girls at his hands."
"Oh, by the way, your good-for-nothing son, who likes to play around with other men's wives, got into a fight with a young couple in Jingyang Town today."
"The reason is that your son fell for someone else's wife, and when she refused, your younger son, along with the guards you arranged, beat and killed the entire family. To cover up the evidence of his murder, he set fire to the house, burning the whole family to death..."
At first, Prime Minister Shen stood arrogantly in front of Lin Luoxi, looking down at her with his nose in the air.
When Lin Luoxi read out all the shameful things his family had done, he started to panic, but he still had to pretend to be calm.
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't try to pin accusations on me just because the Emperor gives you a little attention." Prime Minister Shen looked at Lin Luoxi as if she were already dead, threatening her with his eyes.
"Is that so, Your Majesty?" Upon hearing Prime Minister Shen's distorted words, Lin Luoxi immediately looked at Xiao Jingchen in the corner.
"Hmph, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."
Although Xiao Jingchen was very curious about how Lin Luoxi found out about the Shen family's private affairs, he would never let go of the opportunity to kill Prime Minister Shen at this time.
She stepped forward, coldly eyeing Prime Minister Shen, and asked, "Prime Minister Shen, is what Princess Changping said true?"
Although he asked the question, Xiao Jingchen knew that once Lin Luoxi said it, it was almost certainly true.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changming is framing us. Our Shen family is innocent and loyal to Your Majesty. How could we possibly do such a heinous thing?"
When Prime Minister Shen entered, he didn't see the Emperor, so he dared to roar at Lin Luoxi. But when Xiao Jingchen appeared, he restrained himself somewhat.
"Prime Minister Shen, don't be so quick to deny it. Your daughter is so eager to be Empress, but with the number of abortions she's had in a year, she'd be unwanted even if she were thrown on the street. How can your Shen family think the Emperor will accept just any trash..."
Seeing Prime Minister Shen's hasty denial, Lin Luoxi pointed directly at Shen Jinfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said something that shocked everyone.
"What?!" Lin Wenqian and the others standing to the side were utterly shocked by every word Lin Luoxi spoke.
“Princess Changping, you are also a woman. What is your purpose in slandering my innocence like this? Or are you paving the way for your senior sister?” Shen Jifeng’s face turned pale when she heard Lin Luoxi expose her shameful deeds.
But she also knew that she absolutely could not accept what Lin Luoxi said, otherwise she would never have a chance to turn her life around.
"How can this be considered slander? I am Yang Zhiqiang's apprentice. I can tell at a glance whether you have had an abortion or not. If you don't believe me, have the steamed buns invited by the Emperor come and examine them. Then you will know the truth."
Lin Luoxi wasn't afraid that Shen Jifeng wouldn't admit it, so she directly blocked Shen Jifeng's escape route.
“Your Majesty, this is evidence of the crimes committed by Prime Minister Shen’s family. If you want witnesses, look at the gates of the Princess’s residence, where there are victims persecuted by the Shen family.”
Lin Luoxi handed the account book she had stolen from the Prime Minister's residence to Xiao Jingchen.
Prime Minister Shen, who wanted to continue defending himself, saw Lin Luoxi hand him that familiar account book.
Terrified, he turned pale and collapsed to the ground. It was all over. The Shen family was doomed.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Lin Luoxi, a hatred so intense it seemed he wanted to set Lin Luoxi ablaze.
"Oh my, Prime Minister Shen, your charming little eyes are almost scaring me to death. What? You want to eat me? Too bad, you can only watch helplessly, because all your evidence is in my hands."
"Pfft~" As he got older, he got angry over the smallest things. Prime Minister Shen was so angry at Lin Luoxi's smug expression that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
"Your Majesty, he's faking it. Quickly have someone remove him from the palace, lest he defile my princess."
Seeing that Prime Minister Shen was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, Lin Luoxi looked at her own spotless floor with heartache, and was so angry that she wanted to rush over and kick Prime Minister Shen.
"Guards, execute Prime Minister Shen and his entire family immediately."
