At the foot of the Floating Jade Mountain.

The search of the Jingshu camp had already ended, most of the people had already evacuated, and Xue Chong's body was not even prepared for a thin coffin, and was directly wrapped in a straw mat, and Shen Run didn't say anything.

Liu Dong stood aside and seemed to be instructing the deputy general, but in fact he was observing Shen Run's behavior.

Shen Run's expression was heavy, it was impossible not to be sad, but it was more cold and hard, cold and hard from the inside out.

Liu Dong heard that this Xue Chong grew up with Shen Run, and has always been Shen Run's henchman, after learning that Xue Chong died tragically, he just stood in front of the straw mat for a while, then got on the horse and returned to the palace without looking back.

Liu Dong thought to himself, he is worthy of being an emperor, and being cold-blooded and ruthless is not to talk about it.

His Royal Highness ordered him to pay attention to the change in Shen Run's expression, and he paid attention, but he really didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Run.

……

It was already noon when Shen Run returned to the palace from Fuyu Mountain, and he originally wanted to wash off the dust and change his clothes and then go to the Phoenix Palace, but before he reached the door, Liyun, who had been waiting outside the Jiade Palace, hurriedly greeted her, her face turned white, and she said in a hurried tone:

"Your Highness, it's not good, His Royal Highness Lord Feng ordered the entire Xue family to be imprisoned, and he will be beheaded tomorrow!"

Shen Run was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What about the fourth princess?" ”

"The fourth princess didn't, His Royal Highness Lord Feng ordered someone to send the four princesses back to the Xue Mansion, but the concubine was imprisoned, at first the four princesses were unwilling, and kept pulling the concubine to cry, and then they were forcibly sent back to the mansion by the eighth lord, and now the four princesses are alone in the Xue Mansion, and the slaves and maids don't know what happened to the four princesses."

Shen Run's expression was slightly confused, but he quickly calmed down, he didn't say anything, he still returned to the dormitory first according to the original plan, and after bathing and changing, he went to the Phoenix Palace.

It was still Si Chen, and Si Chen was sitting in the study reviewing the newly submitted music.

Shen Run walked in unimpeded and stood at a threshold, he no longer knew who was more difficult to deal with, Si Chen or Chenguang, but he knew that Si Chen was tougher than Chenguang, which meant that he couldn't be tough on it.

Si Chen didn't look up.

He knew she must have known he was in, but she didn't look up.

Shen Run's eyes flashed slightly, he stepped over the threshold, walked in, and stood in front of the Feng case.

Si Chen still didn't look up, she slowly and methodically reviewed the chapter.

"Xue Chong died, he was abolished by Chang Xi, and his Xuan power was lost, and then he was knocked off the cliff from the top of Fuyun Mountain by General Liu and shattered." He said without any emotion, as if it were a debriefing.

"Really?" Si Chen said coldly, she put the approved piece from the left to the right, she said "yes", not "I know" or "I already know", this kind of response makes people can't figure out her thoughts.

"The person has been carried back, stopping at Jingzhao Yin Mansion, if you are not at ease, you can take a look." Shen Run continued.

"Not sure?" Si Chen seemed to think that his words were a little ridiculous, raised his eyes and looked at him, the corners of his lips seemed to curl up like nothing, and she said, "Didn't you also see it with your own eyes, why am I not worried?" ”

Shen Run didn't answer her meaningful and unclear words, paused, and asked softly:

"You will put Xue Cheng's entire family in prison, and you will behead the Xue family?"

"There is a chaotic thief in their family, and it is already cheap for them to be beheaded everywhere." Si Chen said disappreciatively.

Shen Run fell silent.

Si Chen didn't react to his silence, she hung him there and continued to review the recital.

She didn't ask him what he wanted to do.

Shen Run knew that the method of using silence to guide her to start the topic first would not work.

"Xue Chong is a personal crime, Xue Cheng and Xue Ling are loyal to you, both of them are rare talents, Xue Cheng has been in the court for many years, he visited six countries when he was young, this experience is not available to everyone, Long Xi's courtiers trust Xue Cheng very much, very respectful, you leave him, it will be beneficial to your future government affairs."

"Talent will not offset the crime, the right thing to do for one person to rebel is to connect the whole family, do you still need me to tell you this?"

Shen Run looked at her heavily.

"You want to intercede for the Xue family?" Si Chen finally put down the red pen in her hand, she leaned back in the chair, looked at her coldly, as if sneering, she asked lightly.

"Yes." Shen Run admitted it bluntly.

Si Chen looked at him, and the curvature of the corners of his lips deepened.

"Yes." She said coldly, "What do you exchange for?" ”

Shen Run chose to be silent, he couldn't answer this question, the country was dead, everything he had belonged to hers, and the rest of him was probably not rare for her, so it was impossible to become a bargaining chip.

"You don't think that if you say a word to let me spare them, I will spare them because of you, right?" She said in a sarcastic tone.

"I didn't think so." Shen Run replied softly.

"Good." She seemed to be in a happy mood, leaned back in her chair, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "What do you exchange it for?" ”

"What do you want?" He gritted his teeth and asked rhetorically, he thought, that she would humiliate him a lot next.

Si Chen didn't "disappoint" him, she said, "What do you have?" You don't seem to have anything. ”

Shen Run didn't say a word.

The self-esteem that was shattered into slag was crushed again, he could only listen and suffer, this is the consequence of his ruling Long Xi Kingdom and the death of the country, and this is also the punishment he needs to bear.

"Ah, I figured it out." Si Chen raised her eyebrows rarely, she looked at him nonchalantly, and said in a pleasant tone, "You don't have nothing. ”

A hint of vigilance flashed in Shen Run's eyes, and he stared at her with a gloomy look.

"Do you really want to save the people of the Xue family?" Si Chen's tone was filled with a smile.

"When I was still King Rong, when I was still King Rong in the past," when he finished the first half of the sentence, he realized the problem in his words, and added the second half of the sentence, he said to her, "At that time, the Xue family was still the head of the big house, I was not loved by my father at that time, and I was suppressed by the crown prince, only the Xue Cheng family did not despise me because of these, on the contrary, the Xue Cheng family has been assisting me until I ascended the throne until ......"

"Until what?" Si Chen asked him when he couldn't continue.

She did it on purpose, and she wanted to hear him say these two words: "Death of the country." His expression and tone seemed to be breeze, but in fact he knew how difficult it was for his heart to writhe when he spit out these two words.

Si Chen was satisfied, with a sense of pleasure, she said:

"It's not impossible for me to spare the lives of the Xue family, as long as you are willing to do one thing, I will let them go."

The ease with which she agreed made Shen Run's heart heavy, and the sense of vigilance in his heart became even stronger, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at her, and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want me to do?"

"Get on your knees." Si Chen said.
