Murong Xiao came back very late, with a tired look on his face, but when he saw Feng Mingwei, all the fatigue was swept away, "Weier, why aren't you asleep yet?"
He came over happily and hugged her, his broad palms covering her belly, his brows and eyes filled with extreme tenderness.
After so many years he felt like he was alone, and now he finally felt like home.
Feng Mingwei had just taken a bath, but she did not refuse him to touch her belly. He wanted to touch her belly, which was also a sign of care for the child. She leaned into the man's arms and raised her head slightly, "I'm waiting for you."
"Waiting for this king?" The man's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he was ecstatic.
Feng Mingwei rolled her eyes at him, "I'm waiting for you to come back because I have something to discuss with you. What are you thinking about?"
Murong Xiao felt a little disappointed for a moment, "Well, what's the matter?"
"Shu'er has met Shen Zhuo. She behaves strangely when she comes back. I'm afraid she will be taken advantage of." Feng Mingwei said worriedly.
Murong Xiao was indifferent, and the corner of his lips curled up coldly, "I arranged for them to meet. I know exactly what they talked about."
"Shen Zhuo really wants to take advantage of Shu'er's feelings for him, and then wants to make a final death struggle."
"He wants to use Shu'er to save the tribe, but what do you think Shu'er can do?"
The most Murong Shu could do was go to the palace to beg her father, and the result would be to save Shen Zhuo's life.
After all, he is still the eighth princess's consort.
But once the Shen family is convicted, he is not qualified to be the son-in-law of the Murong family.
Living is nothing more than lingering.
"Father will no longer keep Shen Jing."
"The report letter from back then has been found and it has been confirmed that it was forged by Shen Jing."
"The case can be closed tomorrow and the truth will be made public."
Feng Mingwei was very happy and angry, "Who is the mastermind behind this? It's just Shen Jing, I don't think he has the guts."
Murong Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, "There is no so-called mastermind. Shen Jing did it all by himself from beginning to end."
"Really?" Feng Mingwei didn't believe it.
"Really, don't you believe me?"
"Otherwise, you can ask Marquis Chang Ning. He has also participated in the investigation of the entire case. There will be no unjust, false or wrongful convictions this time." Murong Xiao held her in his arms, "Now the truth is revealed, and the father can be redressed. He said that he would send someone to welcome him back to the capital and restore his status as a first-class king, jue and phoenix king."
Feng Mingwei leaned in his arms, not knowing what to say, because things went too smoothly, making people think that Shen Jing was just a scapegoat.
But when things have reached this point, there is nothing left to pursue for the Feng family.
"Weier, can you just give birth to our child with peace of mind now?"
Now that the Shen family has been brought to justice, the Feng family can also be redressed and restored to their throne.
He felt that everything could be put back together and start over.
Holding the woman in his arms, he was already content.
…
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen wants to see you."
Late at night, the lamp was still lit in the imperial study, and Emperor Beiwu had not yet rested, "Well, let's bring him in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, secret guards came in escorting Shen Jing, who was already a prisoner.
"I bow to the emperor." Shen Jing walked with his shackles jingling.
Murong Shen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jing, and said in a deep voice, "You and I are kings and ministers. Now if you have any other wishes, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"I don't have any wishes. I just ask the emperor to forgive the Shen family, Zhuo'er, Yan'er, and Yue'er. They are all innocent."
"I am willing to devote myself to the emperor and die. I only ask that the emperor forgive the Shen family." Shen Jing's forehead hit the floor heavily.
Murong Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a voice without warmth: "Shen Zhuo and Shen Yan can live, but Shen Qiuyue cannot stay, she has to die."
Shen Jing's face turned pale, and he closed his eyes in despair, "Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Then he drank a glass of wine rewarded by the emperor and returned to his cell.
"Father..." When he arrived in the cell, he started to lose his temper.
He only saw his two sons before he died.
"Zhuo'er... no matter what you have to sacrifice or what price you have to pay, you must promise to be a father, stay in the capital, live well, and one day revive the family... Promise me..."
Shen Jing's eyes, mouth, and nose were covered with blood, and his orifices were bleeding. He was suffering from poisonous hair, but he firmly held his eldest son's hand and ordered, his eyes full of resentment, "I have done so many things for the emperor... but in the end this is what happened. I am not willing to accept your fate. You must avenge me, otherwise I will die in peace."
"Brother, please promise father!" Shen Yan cried.
Shen Zhuo's eyes were red, "Okay, I promise you."
The next day, news came from the cell that Shen committed suicide in fear of crime.
Then in the morning, the emperor issued an order announcing the execution of the Shen family.
The entire Shen family was exiled to the south of the border to work as coolies and imprisoned for life.
Shen Qiuyue's crime of poisoning Prince Lie's heir was unforgivable, and three days later he was beheaded in front of the vegetable market.
