Many members of the Shen family knelt behind the Great Elder of the Shen Family, even the Duke of Lingguo and Shen Changqing, the great general guarding the southeast of Nanye, were no exception.

One by one, their heads were clasped to the ground, and they did not dare to raise them at all.

As soon as Ye Xiu entered the Taihe Palace, although everyone in the Shen family did not raise their heads, they all glanced at Ye Xiu with resentment.

Emperor Nanye was furious, walked up to the Great Elder of the Shen Family, and stomped on the Great Elder's hand with his foot: "Shen Changgu, Shen Changgu, I trust you so much, you will repay me with the elixir of longevity?" ”

Emperor Nan Ye leaned down, grabbed the neck of the Great Elder of the Shen Family with his left hand, took out a handful of pills with his right hand, and stuffed it into the Great Elder's mouth.

"Swallow it and have a good taste of the Folding Shou Pill that you have refined yourself!"

The Great Elder of the Shen Family knew that he would not be able to escape death today, so he only wanted to protect the rest of the Shen family, and he did not dare to resist at all.

Swallowed all the pills.

"If it weren't for Ye Xiu reminding me, he would have let you succeed and tell me, who asked you to refine this elixir?"

As soon as Emperor Nan Ye's words came out, Ji Zhan, who was standing not far away, shuddered unexpectedly, for fear that the great elder of the Shen family would confess himself.

The great elder of the Shen family slammed his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, Heaven and Earth Mingjian, I will never harm Your Majesty's heart, I only thought that this pill could increase people's longevity, how could I have thought that it would reduce lifespan!" ”

The corners of Nanye Huang's mouth twitched, and he glared at the Great Elder of the Shen Family, his eyes were grim: "I ask you, who asked you to refine the Dan?" ”

"It was I who wanted to please Your Majesty and seek a half-official position, so I refined the Longevity Pill and dedicated it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Nan Ye waved his long sleeves, snapped, and slapped Elder Shen's mouth.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Shen Changgu's mouth.

"I will give you another chance, if you tell the truth, I can protect the rest of your Shen family from being implicated."

When Ji Zhan heard this, his legs trembled, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

Emperor Nanye's eyes were like torches, and he turned sideways to look at Ji Zhan, his voice was like thunder: "Zhan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ji Zhan gritted his teeth and said: "Erchen is angry, Shen Changgu, how can you be so stupid, don't refine if you don't know how to refine, the people who are not recognized by the Heavenly Medicine Workshop, who gave you the courage to refine the pill for your father!" ”

The blood on Shen Changgu's mouth fell to the ground one by one, and the blood in his mouth made his voice a little vague: "It's me who is too stupid, I didn't even know the materials of the elixir and gave my majesty medicine refining medicine with arrogance, I am innocent of death, but Your Majesty is clear, I Shen Changgu is absolutely harmless to Your Majesty's heart!" ”

Shen Changgu knew that if the prince fell, the Shen family would be pulled out of the gap, and if the prince could be preserved, there might be a chance to turn over in the future.

Therefore, even if Emperor Nanye said something to protect the Shen family, Shen Changgu did not confess Ji Zheng.

"Duke Lingguo, you made great contributions to Nanye at the beginning, but I didn't expect that your Shen family would do such a thing today."

Shen Qiuhe said loudly: "Shen Changgu was confused for a while, he was carried away by utilitarianism, it is not a pity to die, what he did is not worthy of the Shen family, and the minister's poor teaching deserves death, I implore Your Majesty to behead the old minister and Shen Changgu, and let go of the other innocent Shen family." ”

Shen Changgu insisted that the pill was his own doing, and the Shen family's power in Nanye was deep-rooted, and if it was a posture of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, it would inevitably cause turmoil.

Emperor Nanye's gaze fell on Shen Changgu: "Drag him out and behead him!" ”

Then he looked around at the crowd and said fiercely: "All the people in the Shen family who have official positions, the officials are demoted to three grades, and those who are not demoted to the rank will be dismissed." ”
