Shen Ling Jue gripped his fists tightly, looking at Feng Ning Yan who was walking out of the hall, looking back again and again, his heart was aching so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Wait for me …" His eyes were red as he mouthed these words to her.

Feng Ning Yan smiled and nodded, then walked out of the Palace with her head held high.

The empress dowager and imperial concubine, exhausted by this affair, were helped into the chamber by the ladies.

Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu stood within the palace, unwilling to give in to the emperor's decision.

He waved his hand to signal for Hua Ruyu to retreat. The Imperial Guards had already retreated, leaving behind only King Yu and Prince Cheng.

"Shen Youhuang!"

Shen Ling Jue kicked the sword on the ground and grabbed the hilt, stabbing it towards Shen You Huang, but the tip of the sword stopped less than a foot away from Shen You Huang.

"Brother Yu-Wang, you've already killed Shen Di. Don't tell me that you want to kill your little brother, too?" Shen Youhuang smiled faintly. "Do you want to personally prove that the cold-blooded person who killed your brothers and sisters was you and not Feng Ning Yan?"

Shen Ling Jue's eyes turned red with hatred, but he was unable to stab down with his sword.

If he killed Shen You Huang, he would be captured by the Imperial Guards. Who could save Feng Ning Yan from the prison of the justice courts?

Even though he knew that Shen You Huang was the only one who killed Shen Di, he had no proof!

Seeing his hesitation, Shen You Huang pushed the tip of the sword away with her fingertips and smiled.

"For the sake of a woman, Brother Yuwang is willing to bet his life on this. You're truly a lovestruck child. No wonder that stupid woman Feng Ningyan would plead guilty on your behalf. Her feelings are so good that it makes people jealous!" Unfortunately, you forgot that the mantis stalks the cicada and the yellow sparrow is behind you. Right now, his younger brother's only enemy was Prince Yu [2]. This truly made things much easier for him. "If we can get rid of Feng Ningyan this time, Brother Yuwang will lose his right hand and he'll definitely be in great pain."

"Shen Youhuang!" Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth and grabbed Shen You Huang's sleeves. "A man's affairs will not affect his wife and son!"

"Tsk tsk, pedantic." Shen Youhuang pushed Shen Lingjue away and adjusted her collar, "Is your wife an ordinary woman? She is a hundred thousand Southern Ning soldiers' Young Marshal. If she doesn't die, how can I contend against you? When she dies, let's fight a fair battle and see who can sit on the supreme throne and become a stray dog! "

This was the first time Shen Youhuang had torn off her pride in front of Shen Ling Jue, revealing her treacherous and merciless true face. This was because he no longer needed to hide in front of Shen Ling Jue.

Since Shen Di was already dead, snatching the throne was basically the fight between King Yu and Prince Cheng. It seemed like the Sixth Prince Shen Yu Su didn't have the qualifications to fight for it.

Shen Ling Jue looked coldly at the arrogant and complacent Shen You Huang, thinking of Feng Ning Yan in prison and suddenly feeling much calmer.

His wife was not an ordinary person. She was the young commander of the Southern Ning army, and she had the peace and security at the border. One hundred thousand Southern Ning soldiers were in danger, so she had to return to the Southern Ning County as soon as possible.

She had placed her life in his hands and was waiting for him to save her. How could he waste his time here with Shen Youhuang?

Shen Ling Jue suddenly gave a cold laugh, "Shen You Huang, do you think you and I are enemies that have ascended the throne? No, you simply do not have the strength to contend against this king. Like Shen Di, you lack one of the most important things, and that is the will of God in the human heart. If you can laugh, just laugh. Very soon, you won't be able to. "

With that, he raised his sword and thrust it towards the pillar behind Shen Youhuang.

The blade of the sword, with a deep level of internal energy, deeply stabbed into the pillar.

If he hadn't retracted his sword just now, there would have been a transparent hole for Shen Youhuang to wear.

Shen Youhuang turned her head to look and sucked in a breath of cold air. When she turned her head, she saw that Shen Ling Jue had already walked out of the main hall.

Hua Ruyu then hurried out, "Your Highness, are you alright! Should I tell the emperor … "

"No need!" Shen Youhuang was extremely upset and said sinisterly, "Shen Lingjue! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant for! "

However, Hua Ruyu felt that today's matter was extremely useless and couldn't help but complain: "That idiot Feng Ningyan, she ruined our big plans. She originally set up a trap for Shen Ling Jue, but she jumped into it. And now, Shen Ling Jue is still free and unfettered, truly a waste of effort! "

Shen Youhuang held her hand and said, "Don't worry. As long as we can't let Feng Ning Yan out of the prison, she'll be halfway through." Ruo Yu, the empress dowager must be feeling very unwell right now. You should perform well, gain good impressions of her, and replace Feng Ningyan's place in her heart. "

"Yes, Ruo Yu knows what to do!"

Hua Ruyu smiled sweetly and hurried into the empress dowager's chamber …

The prison of the justice courts was like hell.

Feng Ningyan was escorted here. As soon as she entered the door, she was handcuffed and shackled to a cell in the middle of the cell.

In her previous life, she had died here, so every door, path, and even logs seemed familiar to her, causing her to tremble in fear.

Especially as she passed by the door of the torture chamber that was going to execute the punishment at the end of the day, the stench of blood from inside assaulted her nose, almost causing her to puke. She hurriedly walked over.

She really didn't want to come to this damned place a second time. Who knew that fate would bring her here? In her previous life, she would have to come for a walk in both life and death.

"The suspect is Feng Family. What are you waiting for, quickly go in!"

A muscular female prison warden pushed Feng Ning Yan, causing her to stumble and fall into the pile of straw on the floor of the cell.

Her fingers were too red and swollen to press her hands to the ground. She had to use her elbows to get up.

The guard tied the chain to the door and the lock fell off.

Only then did she realize that the cell opposite this one was the one where she had been imprisoned in her previous life.

She thought of Hua Ruyu wearing the attire of a queen as she walked into the prison, threatening to plead guilty. She thought of how Prince Yu's mansion had been razed to the ground and how Shen Lingjue's hands and feet were all broken …

Everything was just like yesterday.

Two streams of tears rolled down her sweaty face.

"After the crippling of the Feng family, we have a secret relationship with King Yu, Shen Lingjue. We will give birth to a demonic embryo, heaven cannot tolerate this, so we will send him to the Sky Prison immediately!"

The eunuchs' voices from his previous life echoed sinisterly in her ears, but at this moment, Feng Ningyan was smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Shen Ling Jue … Shen Ling Jue … Why do I have to suffer all my life, only then do I understand that you are my true home... In this life, as long as you are well, I, Feng Ningyan, will die with no regrets! "

At this time, a sneer came from outside the cell, "Yo! My older cousin is already living in the prison of the Supreme Court. Do you still have the heart to think about those childhood sweethearts? I really don't know how to write the word 'dead'. "

Feng Ning Yan's eyes didn't even move as she coldly said, "Hua Ruyu, I just entered and you're already impatiently laughing at me. What, you're afraid that if I release you later and I'm not guilty of anything, you won't have this opportunity anymore?"

Hua Ruyu rolled her eyes. "Hmph, towards a prisoner who's about to die, this consort does not have the interest to mock him. For the sake of a cousin, I'm here to tell you that I've accused you of meritorious deeds, so when the empress dowager spoke just now, she wanted me to marry His Highness Prince Cheng tomorrow. As your big sister, it seems like there's no way for you to prepare a present, so you should just send someone's head as a congratulatory gift. How about it? "
