"Your son has an illness and cannot be trusted." Shen Ling Jue said resolutely.

Feng Ning Yan was shocked. She raised her head to look at him. "What nonsense are you talking about …"

How could he have a disease?

When he was in the hot spring, his body was much more honest than his mouth!

Every night when she slept with him in her arms, he could only suppress the burning sensation in his body and mind.

This sort of thing would expose the imperial physician's secret immediately.

Using a lie to get her off the hook would only make things worse.

Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu were shocked beyond belief. Who would have thought that the greatest beauty of all the women in their dreams, Shen Lingjue, could not be a virgin?

This sort of thing was a disgrace to all men. They would rather die than make it public.

Everyone's eyes shot burning gazes at Shen Ling Jue. Doubt, disappointment, pity, sigh …

Feng Ning Yan saw a trace of schadenfreude in Shen You Huang's and Hua Ruyu's eyes.

In Shen Ling Jue's arms, such a gaze was even more obvious to her. Xiao Yan clenched his teeth. However, he could not resist the burning sensation in his eyes. The tears immediately moistened his eyes …

Her heart hurt even more than her fingers.

The empress dowager couldn't help but shed tears as well. "Your Majesty, Ling Jue …" If he had such an illness, it would really be difficult for him and the little girl … Where did the Feng family talk in such a rebellious manner? Hurry and call the imperial physician over to take a look at little girl's injuries! "

The Emperor had once thought that Shen Lingjue was not a woman with good looks and was worried that his son was a man with his sleeves cut off. He never expected that he would actually be completely 'incompetent'.

Now that he had exposed this "secret" in public, how could Shen Ling Jue hold his head up in front of everyone in the world in the future?

The emperor was at a loss. Inherit the Imperial Physician … "Healing King Yu..."

"No need." Shen Ling Jue replied, "Your son has asked for treatment for many years, and there is no cure for the Central Plains' medicine right now. This time, when he went to the Southern Wilderness, he met the Black Miao Clan's Witch Doctor, Ye Bailu. As long as we can get him to do it again in a month, he will be healthy again. "

When the Emperor heard this, he finally felt at ease.

Shen Ling Jue felt a chill in his heart as he looked down at the person in his arms. He felt that the affection between father and son was so weak that he couldn't help but feel disheartened. He could only hope that Feng Ning Yan was safe and sound.

"Now that the truth has been revealed, may I bring the wangfei back to the estate?"

The imperial concubine hastened to persuade her. "Since wangfei is injured, it's best for her to treat it as soon as possible. The imperial physician will be here soon. Prince Yu, why don't you wait a bit …"

"No need." Shen Ling Jue knew that Feng Ning Yan didn't want to stay here any longer, so she turned and left without a second thought.

Hua Ruyu predicted that after Shen Ling Jue came, he would think of ways to take away Feng Ning Yan.

She grew anxious and shot a look at Shen Huang You.

Shen Youhuang watched as Shen Lingjue walked towards the door of the great hall, step by step. She too was filled with hatred.

He had originally thought that even if he could not punish Shen Lingjue's crimes today, it would be enough to put Feng Ning Yan to death and destroy the alliance between the Southern Ning Army and the Duke Yu's Mansion.

However, he did not expect that not only was the reason Shen Lingjue gave him enough to make people unable to not feel sympathy for him, it even helped Feng Ning Yan avoid the crime of faking her marriage.

His eyes turned cold. He turned around and kneeled in front of the emperor as he said loudly, "This son has something to report!"

The emperor had yet to recover from his shock and didn't want to listen to Shen Youhuang's sudden solemn kneeling.

"What government, tomorrow morning the court will discuss with the court officials …"

"This is a matter of government affairs and also a family matter. Moreover, this matter concerns the crown prince and Brother Yuwang!" Shen Youhuang said urgently, "Your son originally planned to report this to the previous dynasty, but it'll be too late then!"

Shen Ling Jue stopped in his tracks, lowering his head to see Feng Ning Yan looking at him in shock. His brows slowly relaxed as he smiled at her, telling her to be at ease.

The emperor was startled. He knew that the things Shen You Huang was about to say weren't small, so he said, "Go ahead."

Shen Youhuang said, "Father, please give the order to capture King Yu first!"

"What?" Her Majesty was taken aback. "Why are we arresting him again?!" Didn't you already explain the matter of the fake marriage? "

Shen You Huang turned to look at Shen Ling Jue's back and said indignantly, "Because I received news from Jizhou that Crown Prince Shen Di was killed the night before yesterday at a relay station 60 miles south of Jizhou City …"

Feng Ning Yan's heart trembled as she raised her head to look at Shen Ling Jue.

When the emperor and empress dowager heard this news, they were immediately taken aback.

Her Majesty had never liked that grandson, Shen Di. She was surprised, but not too sad.

However, the emperor was extremely shocked. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly cried out in grief.

"This unfilial son …" This unfilial son died really well … Not only did he not kill his father, he even sent a white-haired man to deliver a black-haired man to him … This unfilial son deserved to die! If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have given birth to him! "We shouldn't have given birth to him …"

That day, he didn't give the order to kill Shen Di. It was because of kinship that he couldn't give the order to kill her.

Shen Di had been exiled to the bitter cold lands. Although he had to endure hardships, at least he could live peacefully like the other herdsmen, and the emperor would gradually forget about him.

Hearing that Shen Di had been killed, the Emperor couldn't accept it anymore, and his emotions immediately broke down.

A cruel smile flashed through Shen Youhuang's eyes when she saw the emperor in so much pain. She lowered her head and continued:

"Father, the crippled crown prince was not killed by ordinary bandits, but a group of trained assassins! According to the investigation conducted by the local yamen, when the crown prince died, he held a token tightly in his hand. It was the token of the personal guard of King Yu's Mansion! "

Shen Ling Jue slowly turned around and looked coldly at Shen You Huang.

Shen Youhuang's gaze was sharp and she was no longer as respectful and humble as before. Her eyes seemed to hide countless poisonous snakes as she spat out bright red tongues at Shen Lingjue.

"Pu — —" When the Emperor heard this, he looked at Shen Ling Jue who had turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, falling onto the back of the chair.

Both the empress dowager and imperial concubine panicked as they called out for the imperial physician. The hall was in an uproar.

The imperial concubine took great pains to pacify the emperor, and hurriedly brought the tea to the emperor's lips.

"Your Majesty, drink some water …"

The emperor's anger was indescribable. With bloodshot eyes, he slammed the teacup to the ground and pointed at Shen Ling Jue, saying, "King Yu!" Did you kill your brother... "He's your only brother …"

He couldn't believe that his son, whom he admired the most in his life, would be so sinister and merciless that he could even kill brothers and sisters.

"The crown prince is already crippled, what kind of threat can he possibly pose to you?!" "Why do we have to kill everyone …"

Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu pressed on, but the emperor believed again and again that they had framed Feng Ning Yan and Shen Ling Jue.

Feng Ning Yan was both sad and angry. She struggled to get down to the ground, but Shen Ling Jue had no choice but to put her down, supporting her weak body with one hand.

"Father, I did not kill Shen Di. There is no need to kill Shen Di." he said coldly.

"No need?" Shen You Huang said sorrowfully, "Brother King Yu, do you dare say that you've never schemed against the crown prince?"

"You took advantage of the concubine's miscarriage to make a big fuss and caught evidence of the crown prince's murder. You encouraged the vice minister of the household, Liu Jun, to publicly expose the matter of Henan Province being suppressed by the crown prince …" "Later on, you and Princess Yu-fei used the excuse of being closer to each other as an excuse, but in reality, you went to collect evidence that the crown prince kept his killer."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"You pressed on, all the way back to the capital under the protection of the Southern Ning Army, which frightened Shen Di so much that she tried to rebel. But on that day, it was as if you had already predicted it and succeeded in saving the emperor, making a great contribution. The crippled crown prince was crippled while you rode the wind to rise to the top. Currently, there are even rumors amongst the hundreds of officials in the court that the future crown prince position will definitely be yours. After the Crown Prince fell, wouldn't it be very clear who benefited? "
