Chapter 440: Persecution

East Palace.

Before dawn, Murong Heng went out.

About an hour later, he returned.

When he came back, Shen Ruoxi hadn't gotten up yet.

He asked the palace people in the palace to go down, walked to the bed by himself, took off his robe, lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay in lightly.

Shen Ruoxi was in a daze, feeling that there were hands roaming around his waist.

Turning his head, he met a pair of eyes that shimmered with ghostly light.

"Ah Heng, are you back?"

"Well, just went out and took care of some things."

Murong Heng's fingers on her waist moved upward, causing her to breathe unsteadily, and seeing that her cheeks were slightly red, he lowered his head and bit her earlobe.

"It could be in the next few days."

"What?"

"The situation is getting more and more anxious now, I heard that King Rui is secretly already moving, and he can't wait."

Shen Ruoxi was slightly shocked.

"What do you mean, King Rui is really preparing to rebel?"

"Well, now there is only one opportunity left, and when the opportunity comes, King Rui will definitely raise troops to rebel."

Shen Ruoxi turned his head.

"What's the trigger?"

"This opportunity is coming soon."

Murong Heng answered in a low voice, and then hugged her tighter and tighter.

He whispered.

"Why don't I find a safe place and put you there temporarily?"

Shen Ruoxi showed a shallow smile.

"Where else is safer than being by your side?"

"I'm the safest around, but it's also the most dangerous."

"I don't want to leave you, Ah Heng, since you have chosen to be with me, then don't push me away, we will face something together."

Murong Heng's body stiffened, and her warm breath fell on her neck, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.

After a long time, a soft voice came.

"Hmm."

He hugged her tighter, almost rubbing it into his body.

How lucky he was in his life to have her.

The two of them rubbed their ears and temples for a while, and then got up and began to have breakfast.

But there was news from outside.

The cold night looked solemn.

"Master, news just came that Su Sheng knelt in front of the Qiankun Hall with a group of ministers, asking the emperor to come forward and ask him to execute Shen Yue."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi's heart lifted slightly.

"Why did you suddenly ask for my eldest brother to be executed?"

"Remember what I told you this morning?"

Murong Heng replied lightly: "Su Sheng is already speeding up his movements, executing Shen Yue as soon as possible, saving you a lot of dreams at night." ”

Shen Ruoxi looked at Leng Ye: "After that, did my father agree?" ”

"The emperor was furious, and first wanted to torture several ministers, but was persuaded by Qin Shizi, and now the emperor is in the imperial study."

Qin Chengxuan is now the commander of the forbidden army, and he often protects the emperor every day.

Shen Ruoxi said slowly.

"Commander Qin is acting steadily, if my father really ignores these ministers, I am afraid that he will completely lose a bad reputation, and the situation will be even more turbulent at that time."

After the words fell, she found that Murong Heng was staring at her.

Shen Ruoxi: "What do you see me doing?" ”

"Qin Chengxuan just did what he should do as a minister."

Shen Ruoxi: ......

She just casually boasted, this little vinegar should be eaten?

Shen Ruoxi looked worried: "This matter is a bit sudden, do you want to take a look?" ”

"I'm going."

Murong Yao put down his chopsticks and stood up directly: "I'll go to the imperial study right away, you can eat first." ”

Now that the father's temperament has changed greatly, if he is forced by these ministers to be in a hurry, it is not impossible to directly cut Shen Yue.

He couldn't let Shen Yue die like this.

Shen Ruoxi nodded.

When Murong Heng left, she continued to move her chopsticks, and just after a few bites, she felt a wave of nausea hit her, making her almost throw up.

"The crown princess."

Momoba came over and helped her: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine, it's a little disgusting."

Peach Leaf's eyes widened slightly, and he said with some uncertainty.

"Are you supposed to ...... You're really pregnant, right? ”

……

When Murong Heng arrived in the imperial study, the atmosphere inside was already very solemn.

Su Sheng led a group of ministers to stand up straight, and looked at Emperor Renjing behind the imperial case with a long and cold gaze.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yue deserves to die, you have been delaying it for so long, it is really not in accordance with the law to drag it out any longer, it is a fact that he killed Tianling, you should execute him immediately!"

As soon as he said this, the ministers behind him chimed in.

Emperor Renjing was wearing a dragon robe, and his face was a little old, and his expression was very ugly.

Beside him, Wang Defu stretched out his hand to bring him a cup of tea.

was knocked over by Emperor Renjing with a wave of his hand.

"I have already said Shen Yue's matter, if the prince can't show favorable evidence to prove his innocence in ten days, then I will execute him, and now there are only three days left, you can't wait!?"

"The state has national laws, Shen Yue should have died a long time ago, how could he delay for so long because of the prince's words? Your Majesty, as an emperor, you should be dealt with in strict accordance with the laws of the country! ”

"Shut up!"

Emperor Renjing waved his robe, and the folds on the table were knocked to the ground.

Long Yan was furious, and the ministers were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.

Only Su Sheng still stood straight.

His voice was cold.

"Please ask the emperor to execute Shen Yue immediately!"

"I am the king of a country, I am the emperor! When I say I will be executed, I will be executed! Su Sheng, you are not rebellious, I think it is not Shen Yue who should be executed the most, but you! ”

Hearing this, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"The emperor wants to execute his ministers?"

Emperor Renjing's eyes were red, his chest rose and fell violently, and his anger was extreme.

But facing Su Sheng's cold gaze, he gradually calmed down.

If he could be easily executed, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today!

In his anger, Emperor Renjing's eyes caught a glimpse of Murong Heng outside the door.

"The prince is here?"

The voice calmed down a lot for a moment.

Murong Heng stepped over the threshold, his eyes glanced at Su Sheng and the ministers in the imperial study, and suddenly smiled faintly.

"What is this for, forcing the palace?"

The voice was not loud, but everyone kneeling felt an inexplicable pressure.

They shook their heads in denial.

"I don't dare."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood, and the ministers don't mean this."

"The minister is loyal to the emperor, how can he do such a rebellious thing......"

Looking at the trembling appearance of a group of people, Emperor Renjing's heart finally overflowed with a trace of happiness.

But in addition to this exuberance, there is also a hint of anger and unease.

Murong Heng's words were even more effective than his words.

This world ......

Whose world is it?

Su Sheng snorted coldly.

"It's just right that the prince came, I heard that the prince asked the emperor to execute Shen Yue in ten days, what does this mean?"

"That's because Lone has discovered a big secret."

Murong Heng met his gaze and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"If Prince Rong knew this secret, he would definitely be shocked, not only would he be shocked, but he would also feel that Shen Yue was not only innocent, but he killed Su Tianling, but it would be a happy thing for you."

"What exactly does the prince want to say?"

Murong Heng didn't answer him, just turned around and bowed his hand towards Emperor Renjing.

"Father, the son asked you to give ten days before asking that son to find evidence that Shen Yue's crime was not to death, and the son found it."

"Oh?"

Emperor Renjing's eyes flickered: "Then present it quickly." ”
