Murong Sheng paused when he heard this, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes.
"How could you... I don't know, and I haven't found out."
"You didn't find out, or didn't you?" Jiang Zhuo asked coldly, "You don't need to check, because you know too well that the murderer is you!"
"Nonsense, it's not me! I've already cleared the Song family's name!" Murong Sheng clutched his chest and shouted, "I've been so good to you all these years, have you forgotten?"
"Murong Zhi has told you everything, and you still don't admit it?"
"Hahaha, Murong Zhi..." Murong Sheng leaned weakly against the dragon throne and chuckled twice. "I didn't expect that the secret I kept hidden for so many years would eventually be known."
"That's right, I sent someone to kill Song Siyao, but that was the will of the late emperor! I couldn't do anything about it! The entire Song family was wiped out, and I only killed Song Siyao."
“But the Song family is innocent!”
"So what? Their achievements overshadow their master's. A tall tree attracts the wind. Blame it on the Song family for not knowing how to restrain themselves!"
Jiang Zhuo shook his head and looked at Murong Sheng with cold eyes.
"Want to kill me? I'm afraid not." Murong Sheng waved his hand, "Shen Jianshan, look at who these two people are!"
Two soldiers came in, escorting Cheng Xue and the pregnant Shen Jing.
"Dad, Dad, save me!" Shen Jing cried and struggled.
"General, Shen Qing, what are you doing?!" Cheng Xue looked at Shen Jianshan in disbelief. "You are plotting treason, which is disloyal and unjust! Shen Qing, was this your idea? Are you going to kill everyone?"
Shen Jianshan's face changed and he clenched the sword in his hand. How could Cheng Xue fall into Murong Sheng's hands?
Impatience flashed in Shen Qing’s eyes.
grass!
"Shen Jianshan, do you want them to become victims of your rebellion?" Murong Yu shouted. "Mr. Shen, if you commit suicide here today, I will pardon the Shen family's guilt."
Murong Sheng knew that Shen Qing was the mastermind.
"Chen Qing, please save us, my child hasn't been born yet, please, save us!"
"Qing, Qingqing..." Cheng Xue called out in a daze.
Shen Qing looked at the sword in her hand, the blade gleaming coldly. Then she looked up at Shen Jianshan, who shook his head at her.
Shen Qing gave Shen Jianshan a reassuring look.
"It's impossible for me to commit suicide."
"So you want your mother to die for you?" Murong Yu frowned and brought the sword in his hand close to Cheng Xue's neck.
"I believe mother won't blame me, right?" She looked at Cheng Xue mysteriously and smiled.
“Chen Qing, you, you are so cruel…” Cheng Xue’s eyes were full of disbelief.
Murong Yu didn't expect that Shen Qing would really disregard the relationship between mother and daughter, and suddenly didn't know what to do with the hostage in her hand.
Chen Qing glanced obscurely at Liang Fu who was beside the emperor, then raised the sword in his hand, "Can't you do it? Why don't I help you!"
"You!" Murong Yu was about to scold something when he suddenly felt a pain in his palm and his sword was knocked to the ground.
The two imperial guards who restrained Cheng Xue fell to the ground, holding their necks.
Hua Qiufeng quickly pulled Cheng Xue over.
"Liangfu?" Murong Sheng looked at Liangfu standing next to Jiang Zhuo in shock. "You, you dare to betray me?"
"I was never yours to begin with, so how could I betray you?"
Murong Sheng coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and pointed at Jiang Zhuo with trembling fingers.
"I was the one who arranged for Liangfu to enter the palace. He added chronic poison to your medicinal food every day, and now the poison has penetrated into your lungs." Jiang Zhuo straightened his sleeves and spoke.
Murong Sheng smiled desperately.
"Okay, you all betrayed me! Hahaha, what did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong! I am the best emperor!" Murong Sheng's eyes were sinister, and he pointed at Shen Jing beside him, "What about her! She is a member of your Shen family!"
"Jing'er..." Cheng Xue shouted worriedly, turned around and took Shen Jianshan's hand, "General, please save Jing'er!"
Shen Jianshan frowned, pushed Cheng Xue behind him, and signaled her not to speak.
"She is no longer a member of the Shen family." Shen Qing said.
"Chen Qing, please, save me!" Shen Jing cried, "Father, mother, mother, save me!"
"You are so cruel." Murong Sheng looked at Shen Jianshan, "You have raised your daughter for so long, and she is even pregnant with your grandson, and you are not moved at all."
Cheng Xue watched helplessly as no one came to rescue Shen Jing, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
The hand that had been tightly grasping Shen Jianshan's clothes quietly loosened, and she moved lightly to the side. Her eyes were fixed on Murong Yu and Shen Jing, and her breathing became rapid.
Suddenly, Cheng Xue rushed towards Murong Yu who was holding Shen Jing regardless of everything.
Her daughter, she saved it herself!
It was so fast as lightning that no one present had time to react.
Murong Yu instinctively swung his sword to defend himself, but everything happened too suddenly. Cheng Xue collided with his sword, and the sharp sword instantly pierced her body.
Blood gushed out instantly, slowly flowing down the cold sword and dripping onto the ground.
Cheng Xue's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she fell to the ground with a look of pain on her face.
"Yes, she rushed up on her own..." Murong Yu was also a little confused.
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, and while everyone was shocked, he ran away without hesitation, without even looking at Cheng Xue lying on the ground.
"Madam!" Shen Jianshan let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He rushed forward like a madman, and helped Cheng Xue up with trembling hands, his eyes full of heartache and anxiety. He covered her bleeding wound tightly, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
