Chapter 122: Last Chance

After Gonggong Gao took away Xiao Fei's family, the Shen brothers seemed to have been drained of their whole strength and knelt on the ground. At this moment, a question appeared in the hearts of the two at the same time: Is the person just now really their mother-in-law?

What Shen Pei thought, Shen Hao didn't know, he only believed in his feelings. He walked over on his knees, his hands on his brother's shoulders, and stared at each other with reddened eyes. "Second brother, do you believe her?"

Shen Pei came back to his senses, and looked back at him, his eyes were full of confusion. "Do I believe it matters? Third brother, don't you know that she is or is not, whether we believe it or not, we can't compete with the holy Chrysostom. As long as the Holy One says that she is not, even if we have countless proofs of it, she is still in the eyes of the world...... Although the traitor ...... said so, the last two words, because of the unwillingness and unbelief in his heart, fell to the dust.

But these two fluttering words fell in Shen Hao's ears, which was tantamount to a thunderous explosion. The two hands on his brother's shoulders subconsciously used all their strength, and the green muscles burst out. He gritted his teeth tightly until a smell of blood came from his mouth, and he struggled to spit out a word.

"I don't care what the emperor says, I only think that she is the mother who raised us single-handedly and treats us as her own mother!"

Why didn't Shen Pei think so? He muttered rhetorically, both for his brother and for himself.

"So what? Do you dare to question His Majesty's decision? ”

Shen Hao snorted coldly in disappointment, "I knew you were a coward!" You are worried about this, afraid of that, and don't dare to save her, I'll go! ”

After speaking, he pushed Shen Pei away violently, staggered up from the ground, turned around and ran out.

Blood and qi rolled in Shen Pei's chest, his brother's words ignited the flame in his heart, and all his reason and worries were evaporated in an instant, and he suddenly stood up from the ground and chased out.

"Third brother, wait for me!"

The brothers ran one after the other, speeding through the palace. They were not familiar with the roads in the palace, but they only roughly knew the location of the noon gate of the execution. The two galloped all the way in that direction, and finally caught up with Gao Gonggong and his party after running through several palaces.

"Stop!" Shen Hao roared and rushed up to wave away the two hands that were held on Xiao Fei's shoulders. Shen Pei, who came later, protected his younger brother and mother in front of him, and threw him to the ground.

"Don't blame my father-in-law, it's a matter of human life, our brother, as sons of man, really can't just watch my mother lose her life unjustly. Please also ask my father-in-law to read for the sake of our filial piety, let us personally prove our mother's identity to His Majesty. ”

Gao Gonggong didn't expect that after his warning, the brothers were still so obsessed. This dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and they have come up with this reason, if they refuse without authorization, and it reaches the ears of the imperial history, they will inevitably be impeached. He pondered for a moment, then nodded his head. "Okay, let's find someone to pass a message to Your Majesty for you, as for whether Your Majesty sees it or not, our family can't guarantee it."

The brothers were so grateful that they knelt down on the spot and thanked Grandpa Gao for his great kindness. Xiao Fei, who was in a desperate situation behind him, burst into tears, but no one knew that in these tears, there was remorse for what he had done in the past.

In Fengqi Palace, Bai Alum had just painted the appearances of several Limeng people he remembered.

As soon as his pen stopped, Zhihua couldn't wait to plead: "Your Majesty, according to the time, this group of thieves should not have left the territory of our country yet, please send an urgent document to increase the patrol at the border, and do your best to rescue the monk." ”

Her heartfelt anxiety finally made the Queen Mother, who still had a trace of displeasure in her heart, nod with satisfaction.

Why didn't the emperor know the importance of rescuing Shen Bin? He didn't want to grant this request, but Zhihua added: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the concubines, we should not make a noise about the abduction of my father." Please find another reason when your majesty issues the arrest notice, if you let the people know that the grandfather of the dignified country was robbed by the Limeng people in the country, I am afraid it will damage the majesty of the imperial court. ”

In fact, she was afraid that after the news leaked, the Limeng people would be more closely guarded, and it would be more difficult to rescue Shen Bin.

What she said was reasonable, and the emperor did not allow it.

The purpose of entering the palace today has been fully achieved, Zhihua was about to get up and leave, a little eunuch outside the door walked quickly, bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, the second son of Shen and the third prince stopped Gonggong Gao from executing the prisoner, and said that as a son of man, he couldn't watch his mother die in vain, and I hope that His Majesty will give them a chance to prove the identity of the prisoner." ”

The emperor frowned, and was about to wave his hand to refuse without thinking about it, but the queen mother was touched by this kind of filial piety, and opened her mouth to help. "Emperor, let's also listen to what that little Fei clan has to say. The mourning family looked at her in the past, and she didn't look like a confused person, why was she confused this time, and would listen to her traitorous father? It's also a human life, and it can't be reversed if you kill it by mistake. ”

When she said this, her eyes were always fixed on Zhihua's face, even if Zhihua had the most upright reasons, she still couldn't see this kind of disobedient mother-in-law.

Zhihua's heart that she had just put down was raised again, and the queen mother's gaze made her dare not raise objections, whether this opportunity would make Xiao Fei's turn over, she couldn't predict, so she could only make a final effort, and said: "Since Niangniang wants to test whether she has colluded with the Limeng people, the concubine thinks that it is better for us to pretend not to know the truth." Please also ask Your Majesty to let the little brother Bai retreat for the time being, lest the Fei family know that he has exposed his stuffing as soon as he sees him. ”

The Empress Dowager's words were not refused, and Zhihua's concerns were also very reasonable, he nodded lightly, "Okay, let's do what the Queen Mother and the princess say." ”

After the alum left, after a while, the three of Xiao Fei's mother and son returned to Fengqi Palace again. The Shen brothers were just like when they went out before, holding her hand tightly from left to right, as if they wanted to pass on all the courage they had to their mother, who had experienced several ups and downs in one morning.

After saluting, the emperor allowed them to get up and reply. Shen Pei had already typed the draft along the way, how to prove his mother's identity to the emperor and the queen mother, who expected that he only started and was interrupted by the emperor.

"Whether she is the Duchess of the Kingdom or not, let her prove it herself. For the sake of filial piety between the two of you, I will forgive you one last time, and stay and go. ”

Shen Pei glanced at his mother worriedly, silently retreated to his younger brother's side, and in order to prevent him from being impulsive again for a while, one hand quietly pulled the hem of his clothes.

"You said you are Fei's, and the mourning family asked you, where is Shen Bin, the Duke of Weiguo, now? Why didn't I come back to Beijing with you? The Queen Mother took the lead in asking questions, her tone was soft, and she couldn't hear the emotion. (To be continued.) )
