He was Shen Cantong, and he had already read the Law of Dachu thoroughly, but at this moment he couldn't speak out.

He didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped to such a dangerous place.

He found that no matter what he said, he always seemed to say the wrong thing to annoy His Majesty, and His Majesty would always say unexpected and frightening topics.

He tried his best to explain.

After hearing this, Chu Xingchen said calmly, "That's it."

She seemed to accept it, but the disappointment in her eyes when she looked at him was visible to the naked eye.

"I have always relied on the assistance of Chief Shen. I have always heard that the Shen family has a pure family tradition and is a representative of diligent ethics and ethics. I have also heard a lot of Mr. Shen's name."

"I never thought that Mr. Shen is so diligent in observing etiquette and saying such outrageous things. He still hasn't changed his words for such ridiculous reasons as his age."

Chu Xingchen flipped through the files of the Ministry of Justice, "Song Huang family is only forty-six years old this year. In Master Shen's eyes, she has already reached the point where she is old and confused and cannot take responsibility for what she has done."

She half-smiled, "Then in Mr. Shen's eyes, how ignorant is your grandfather, Mr. Shen?"

"Do I still have to listen to Lord Shen's advice and clear out a wave of elders over forty-six years old in the court to prevent them from becoming old and confused?"

Shen Cantong's complexion changed drastically. Forty-six was just the age when he really entered the court. It was the time when he was about to show his grand ambitions. Most of the important ministers in the court were over forty-six years old.

If there is a wave of important ministers over forty-six years old, there will be no one in the court below the fourth rank.

When word spread, he was torn apart before he could leave the palace.

More importantly, Shen Shoufu is already seventy this year. He said that Huang is old, but where is his grandfather?

Shen Cantong's forehead was covered with cold sweat for a while, and she felt that she had fallen into an abyss, fearing that her words would affect Shen Shoufu.

Shen Shoufu worked hard to finally reach the position of chief assistant. He has a strong body and a good spirit. He can definitely work for ten or even twenty years.

For the Shen family, Shen Shoufu is very important. As long as he does not fall, the Shen family will prosper.

But he said the wrong thing again.

He didn't understand, even though this was something that everyone often said, how could it be so terrifying when it came into His Majesty's mouth?

Shen Shoufu lowered his head and closed his eyes without saying a word. He knew that His Majesty called him here today just to let him watch.

Shen Cantong's performance surprised and disappointed Shen Shoufu.

He had always been satisfied with Shen Cantong's performance before. Regardless of his academic ability, he had always done well and smoothly over the years.

But maybe it was just too smooth, and he took himself too seriously, to the point where he didn't even take the queen seriously.

The Shen family is qualified to be proud. As the saying goes, an iron-clad family is like a flowing emperor.

The Shen family started earlier than the Chu royal family. The Chu royal family may be gone, but the Shen family will still exist.

This is their capital, but they forget that they can only have this capital because no matter which emperor they are, they cannot do without the support and assistance of their family.

But the emperor is still the emperor, especially the empress Chu Xingchen, who is already shaking the foundation of the family's standing.

But Shen Cantong felt that the emperor would not do anything to them, and he would use the family's method of solving the problem.

Chu Xingchen's reaction was beyond his expectation.

Thinking about it this way, it's because he hasn't been tempered.

After several generations of the Shen family, even if they tried to hone them as much as possible, the family's heritage could not hone anything, it just made his eyes grow to his forehead.

At this moment, this proud man of aristocratic family, being pressed every step of the way, could only admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

He didn't even dare to admit his mistake and ask for mercy, let alone say anything else, because he didn't know if he would say the wrong thing again.

He knelt on the ground in silence, sweating profusely.

Mrs. Shen knelt beside her, her face in a daze. This was the first time she had seen Shen Cantong like this.

Before entering the palace, she felt that the upright Shen Cantong would help her. After all, Shen Cantong had always been like this, always protecting her and helping him. There was nothing he couldn't do.

Not to mention other people, even the emperor in the palace would give them a little more face.

But today, he was brought to the ground by the Queen's few words.

There was silence for a while. Chu Xingchen gave the Shen family face, but he didn't expect that the Shen family would tear away all the face he had.

Chu Xingchen was speechless. She looked at Shen Cantong with confusion in her eyes.

"Actually, I can't understand this matter. I can understand anyone who pleads for Huang, but you... I really can't understand it. Aren't you Xiao Ming's biological father?"

"If you plead for mercy for the murderer of your son, don't you feel that you are... worse than a beast?"

Shen Cantong paused. He had never thought of this just now. He just thought that in order to save his wife, he had to do his best to save his mother-in-law.

His mother-in-law is very kind to him, and he treats her as his biological mother, so she wants her sincerely.

Subconsciously, he did not feel that his mother-in-law was guilty, because when he heard that Xiao Ming was dead, in addition to a trace of sadness, he was more relieved and felt relieved that the trouble was solved.

But in fact...Xiao Ming is his son, and His Majesty also knows it.

he....

Shen Cantong desperately tried to find a reason, but then heard Chu Xingchen sigh.

"Today's news spread, it is also a good story, but the mother-in-law is better than the mother-in-law."

"Such a filial son... is really ridiculous."

Before Shen Cantong could speak, Chu Xingchen struck again.

"But Mr. Shen, you have to protect your daughters. Otherwise, if everyone knows that you will not blame the person who killed your son, you will ask for your help and plead for mercy after killing your son and daughter."

"Master Shen, will you come to plead for mercy again then?"

The word "please" is full of ridicule.

Shen Cantong's face was so blue that he couldn't even look at it, but he was speechless.

He wanted to lose face, and being ridiculed and threatened like this, he, a grown man, was naturally angry, but he did not dare to speak at all and could not speak.

He wanted to say that whoever dared to touch his daughter or son would be cut into pieces.

But Xiao Ming is also his son, and he is interceding for Xiao Ming's murderer at this moment.

"Looking at your face, you are trying to refute that Xiao Ming cannot compare with them. Also, Xiao Ming is just a stain on you. Maybe you will be happy if he dies."

"It seems that you are also very suspicious. Someone, please press Mr. Shen in and interrogate him carefully to see if he was involved."

After Chu Xingchen finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, but Shen Shoufu did not speak.

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Huang, and Shen Cantong both begged for mercy and said they would never participate.

Chu Xingchen acted as if he didn't hear anything and turned around to leave. When he turned around and saw Shen Cangzhu standing dumbfounded, he suddenly paused and turned around.

Shen Cantong and the others thought that for Shen Cangzhu's sake, they wanted to withdraw this obviously angry order.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xingchen said, "I almost forgot, Xiao Ming is your son. You have indeed violated the laws of Chu. The stick is sixty."
