Chapter 138: The eldest princess dies

As if struck by lightning, Shen Xianhe's eyes darkened, and the brightness of the entire cell instantly dimmed, and even Su Nianjun, who was standing opposite her, couldn't see it clearly, but the cold mask made her piercing cold, and she muttered in a frightened voice.

"What did you say?"

Seeing her like this, a trace of unbearability flashed in Su Nianjun's eyes, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to let her accept this cruel truth.

"I know this is difficult for you to accept for a while, but things have happened, people can't be resurrected after death, you must take care."

Shen Xianhe's tears rained down, his body slowly slid to the ground, and his head kept shaking.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have done such a stupid thing, it's me, it's me, it's all me, I know that she values me more than life, I'm not vigilant, it's all me, it's me who killed her...... It's me....... ”

Su Nianjun also squatted down with her, looking at her through the prison door.

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault, it's nothing to do with you."

"No...... It's me...... It's me who harmed me, she sees me as more important than life, after I was sent to prison, how could I not go to Chu Xi, Chu Xi has long regarded the Shen family as a thorn in the flesh to her, how can she let go of this peerless opportunity, as long as she dies, the Shen family will never be able to turn over, what does it matter if I am dead or alive, she is exchanging her life for my life......, so, all this is my fault, it is my ....... ”

Shen Xianhe, who couldn't bear this blow, hugged her head, and the self-blame and guilt in her heart drowned her to the point that she couldn't breathe, and tears kept falling, but it couldn't alleviate her grief at the moment.

Su Nianjun's eyes became dark, looking at Shen Xianhe, who was crying and couldn't extricate himself, his heart also became uncomfortable, and he couldn't say words of comfort anymore, because he also knew that any words of comfort were of no use to Shen Xianhe now.

The sound of Shen Xianhe's crying echoed in the silent prison in the middle of the night, and it pierced into Su Nianjun's heart through his ears one after another, making him feel this irrepressible sadness.

After a long time, Shen Xianhe stopped crying, leaned against the pillar of the cell, and curled up there, holding his legs with his hands, his chin on his knees, his eyes empty, lifeless.

"Thank you, I promised you, and I still owe you, I will pay it back, but I don't have this mood now, you go, let me be alone for a while."

"Good".

Listening to this hoarse voice, Su Nianjun lowered his eyes, concealed the emotions in them, and after giving a short and powerful answer, he got up and left.

As soon as the words fell, hearing the sound of footsteps slowly moving away behind him, Shen Xianhe's red and swollen eyes instantly became sharp.

On the second day, just after dawn, everyone who was about to pack up and leave the Guogong Mansion did not wait for the eldest princess for a long time, and sent a subordinate to see what was going on, when they saw the subordinate stumbling back, and shouted in horror.

"Oh no, no, eldest princess...... She...... She died. ”

A word startled a thousand waves, and everyone rushed to the study in disbelief, seeing the eldest princess whose body was already stiff, and the tablet held in her arms, the faces of the people present had complicated looks.

The old grandfather, who had experienced strong winds and waves, quickly calmed down, and after sending someone to pass the news into the palace, he asked his subordinates to quickly arrange the mourning hall, and after placing the body of the eldest princess in the coffin, he took the people in the house to start mourning, but he did not pass the news out, because he had to wait for the palace to know that the instructions came.

And at this time in the imperial study.

Chen Hanzheng knelt respectfully in front of Chu Xi.

"Your Majesty, you arranged for the minister to go to the frontier to investigate Shen Xianhe's life experience, after the clue was broken halfway, the minister did not stop acting according to your instructions, and continued to arrange eyeliner to explore, and sure enough, the truth was found out, the letter sent back by the minister's subordinates said that he found the so-called stable woman who delivered the eldest princess, and after some coercion and temptation, I knew that she had never delivered for the eldest princess, and the eldest princess and the concubine had never been husband and wife, let alone pregnant."

Chu Xi stood up in disbelief and stared at Chen Han, who was kneeling below, and asked.

"What? So where did Shen Xianhe come from? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the case, the eldest princess has never been pregnant, and Shen Xianhe is not her child, but the daughter of Shen Wei and Huai'an Hou who have long died in the Guogong Mansion, before Shen Wei died, she entrusted Shen Xianhe who was still in infancy to the eldest princess, hoping that the eldest princess could protect Shen Xianhe, and the eldest princess married Shen Junan in order to complete Shen Wei's orphanage, and in order to take care of Shen Xianhe justifiably, she married Shen Junan, and then took Shen Xianhe with her, and made this fake life experience to coax the world."

"I see, no wonder Shen Jun'an couldn't support Adou back then, the eldest princess actually deigned to marry, it was because of Shen Xianhe, and even for the Shen family to constantly threaten my authority, what do you say she is trying to do?"

The doubts in Chu Xi's heart were also what Chen Han was puzzled about, why did the eldest princess defend Shen Xianhe and the Shen family so much?

"I don't know."

When he received the news, seeing the truth transmitted from above, Chen Han couldn't believe it, and went around in circles, it turned out that he and his mother were driven out of the Huai'an Hou Mansion because of Shen Wei's death, and they suffered a lot, and Shen Wei's daughter Shen Xianhe was under the protection of the eldest princess, and she wanted to be windy and rainy, and even His Majesty had to give her three points of face.

As soon as he thought of this, the hatred in his heart was even more surging, why? He and Shen Xianhe are both children of Huai'an Hou, why do they have such different treatment?

However, although he risked being discovered by the emperor and almost being killed, he did not regret what he did in secret that day, and now it seems that the decision he made that day was still right, the queen mother died in the hands of Shen Xianhe, and the Shen Mansion fell, although it did not endanger the eldest princess.

But fortunately, Shen Xianhe was thrown into the prison, for Shen Xianhe, the eldest princess will definitely know how to do it? Now coupled with the secret of Shen Xianhe's life experience, the eldest princess will be completely defeated.

Thinking of this, he was extremely happy in his heart, and he would not let go of the rest of the Huai'an Hou Mansion easily.

Just when Chen Han fell into his own thoughts.

After Chu Xi finished his will, he saw that he was still kneeling in place, indifferent, so he threw the teacup in his hand towards him, and after the teacup smashed on him, he came back to his senses.

"What did I just say?"

After Chen Han secretly scolded himself for being careless in his heart, he hurriedly found an excuse to cover it up.

"Please punish Your Majesty, the minister was distracted just now because of Shen Xianhe's life experience, so he didn't hear His Majesty's orders."

"That's right, Shen Xianhe is the daughter of Shen Wei and Huai'anhou, and you are also the son of Huai'anhou, speaking of which, you two are actually half-brothers and sisters, no wonder you are distracted, forget it, I will forgive you this time, next time I dare to do this, I will not spare it."

After seeing that the emperor was fooled, Chen Han sneered in his heart, but he made a sincere and frightened look on his face.

"Emperor Xie forgives, and the minister promises never to make such a mistake again."

"Well, go and tell the world about Shen Xianhe's life experience, I want to see, this time, how can the eldest princess protect Shen Xianhe?"

"Obey."

Not long after Chen Han left, the subordinates sent into the palace by the Shen family passed the news of the death of the eldest princess to the eunuchs beside Chu Xi.

The news came too suddenly, and the eunuch didn't dare to slack off, and came to the imperial study in a panic.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the news from the Shen family said that the eldest princess passed away yesterday, and they don't know the specific cause of death, the stakes are very high, they don't dare to act rashly, and ask Your Majesty for instructions."

"What? Is the eldest princess dead? ”

"Yes, that's what the people sent by the Shen family said."

Today's news came too suddenly, and it was too coincidental, although it was all news that was beneficial to him, Chu Xi was still so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and his face was uncontrollable surprise.

After kneeling down and replying, the eunuch did not wait for his words for a long time, secretly raised his head to look at him, saw that he had a cold face, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, knelt down even more fearfully, and continued to speak tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the person sent by the Shen Mansion is still waiting outside the palace gate, saying that the eldest princess left too suddenly, and I don't know what to do? Waiting for His Majesty's will to dare to mourn for the eldest princess. ”
