Capital city.
The imperial edict that everyone had been waiting for for a long time and was so terrifying was finally issued.
The golden silk and the vermilion handwriting, every word and sentence announced Murong Zhi's tragic ending. His dethronement was a foregone conclusion and there was no room for turning around.
There was an uproar in the court.
"Your Majesty, please think twice! The Crown Prince has always been kind-hearted and cautious in his words and actions. He must have made a mistake by a slip of the tongue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's merits outweigh his faults after all!"
"Dongli and Jinyang Kingdom are about to form a marriage alliance. If Your Majesty abolishes the crown prince at this time, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among Jinyang Kingdom."
…
The court officials offered sincere and heartfelt advice. Some veteran officials wept, recalling Murong Zhi's past achievements and hoping the emperor would show some mercy; others argued forcefully, analyzing the pros and cons, trying to persuade the emperor to change his mind.
Some people were so emotional that they even threatened to die in protest, banging their heads against pillars, with blood splattering everywhere. The scene was extremely tragic.
However, none of this could change the emperor's decision. His face was gloomy, and his mind was made up.
"I am the Son of Heaven. If he dares to speak disrespectfully today, he will dare to put a knife to my neck tomorrow. On that day, will you still say that his mistake was unintentional?"
"Jinyang Nation is dissatisfied? Then let it be dissatisfied. If it has the strength, then start a war. If it doesn't have the strength, then just hold it in!"
He's just a prince, if he's deposed, then he's deposed!
His resolute expression told everyone that the matter was settled and could not be changed.
Considering that the child Shen Jing is carrying is the blood of the Murong family after all, this matter is of great importance, and there is absolutely no such thing as royal blood flowing into the world.
So after careful consideration, the emperor finally relented and showed his mercy. He ordered that a small courtyard of moderate size be reserved for them in the suburbs so that Shen Jing could have a relatively peaceful environment to wait for her birth.
The emperor also granted permission for Shen Jing to send the child to the palace for upbringing after she gave birth.
Such an arrangement not only demonstrated his generosity and benevolence as an emperor, but also took into account the inheritance of the royal bloodline.
Knowing that everything was settled, Shen Qing was a little dazed, holding the wine glass in his hand.
Royal ruthlessness.
She had originally planned to take action on Murong Zhi on his way to Jinyang Kingdom, but who would have thought that he would take action on her first.
"Miss, the latest news! Murong Zhi suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma!"
"Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know. I heard that the Queen invited a doctor from outside the palace to see Murong Zhi."
Shen Qing looked at the bustling crowd on the street outside the window, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Could it be Murong Yu who did it?
"Miss, the Second Young Master Qin requests an audience."
Shen Qing turned her head to look at the door, where Qin Wanming was standing, smiling hypocritically at her.
Shen Qing curled the corners of her mouth and opened her red lips slightly, "No."
Qiu Mo's face immediately turned dark, and he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Wanming.
"My princess, aren't you curious..." Qin Wanming pointed in the direction of the East Palace, "What happened?"
So, he was the one who did what Murong Zhi did?
Shen Qing was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Not curious."
"Princess, you are so cute."
"Second Young Master Qin, please respect yourself. I'm already engaged, so please be careful with your words."
"If the princess wants to know, you can come to me anytime. By the way, the engagement can be cancelled."
Qin Wanming stood at the door, and seeing that Shen Qing really had no intention of calling him in, he had to turn around and leave.
Shen Qing's lips were tightly closed, and she said nothing. However, a subtle light flashed in her deep eyes, and she silently calculated the time. Then, she casually poured the wine in her hand out the window.
The spilled wine seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, and it sprinkled accurately on Qin Wanming's clothes without a drop being missed, and the people around him were not affected at all.
Qin Wanming suddenly looked up, his eyes piercing the window, a mixture of anger and inquiry. Then, he took a deep breath, as if making some kind of resolution, quickened his pace, and hurried away.
Shen Qing felt a little happier.
Qin Wanming is such a fool, he really thinks he is a piece of cake.
Isn't that easy, she wondered?
"Seventh point."
"Huh?" Seventh Point has been so relaxed these past few days, like he's retired. He seems to have gained two pounds since last year. "What's wrong?"
"You've been so free lately?"
"I'm quite free." Seventh Point curled his lips.
The male and female protagonists it is responsible for are in such a mess, what is it still busy with?
Shen Qing doesn't need it, so it might as well just be happy.
"What do you want from me?"
"Check what Qin Wanming did to the male protagonist."
As soon as I heard about the seventh point, I started looking it up immediately.
"Qin Wanming didn't do anything directly to Murong Zhi. He put a Gu on Chen Jing called the Huanyan Gu. This Gu will make a woman's figure and appearance become increasingly beautiful. Once a man has sex with the woman, the Gu will quickly transfer to the man, causing him to gradually become mentally ill and violent. After a period of time, his tendons and veins will sever and he will die."
Shen Qing was shocked when he heard this.
Qin Wanming is also a ruthless person, much more ruthless than Murong Yu.
His feelings for Qin Rou are even deeper than for his own son Murong Yu.
"Qin Rou treats Qin Wanming very well. She even loves Qin Wanming more than she loves Murong Yu."
"Hmm?" Shen Qing's expression was complicated. "Why does this sentence sound a bit strange?"
"I have very few records of the Qin family here. I think you can check it yourself."
Shen Qing supported his head with his hand, casually holding the wine glass with the other hand, "How can I check? You are my only connection here."
"Well, you haven't looked at the Jianghu Most Wanted List in a long time. Ever since the incident at Qingshan Temple, it seems you've given up on forming your own faction."
People in the martial arts world thought that this suddenly emerging master had died quietly!
No one would ever associate the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion with that ruthless killer. After all, you're the eldest daughter, why would you do such a bloody thing?
Shen Qing was silent, the wine in the glass reflecting her expressionless face.
"It's not that I've given up, I just want to calm down first."
Master said that before you are absolutely sure of accomplishing something, don't alert the enemy or reveal any clues.
"Okay, if you need me, I can help you." The seventh point curled his lips, his eyes seemed a little arrogant.
Being needed by her gave him a sense of responsibility that arose from the bottom of his heart.
That's strange.
"……certainly."
"Well, what do you need me to do now?"
"Hmm... look at what Jiang Zhuo is doing."
I haven't heard from that show-off for several days, and I miss him a lot.
"Jiang Zhuo... he had his clothes taken off by a man!"
