When Prime Minister Liu heard Fu Yuheng talk about the evidence, his voice instantly became much softer. He did not manage to catch any evidence, but he knew that his daughter's leg was covered in red marks that day. Thinking of this, Prime Minister Liu's voice became much softer.
"However, this old subject has heard my daughter mention the red mark on her leg that day. I believe that someone took advantage of that moment of panic to frame my daughter and ask the emperor to make a clear decision. Right now, it is definitely not something my little girl does, and this old subject has often taught her at home, so I believe that there must be someone who framed my little girl.
The more he spoke, the more indignant he became, the more he was filled with righteous indignation, as if he had already found evidence to prove Liu Chugrong's innocence. As he spoke, he even kowtowed to Fu Yuheng, begging for confirmation from the emperor.
Suddenly, he remembered Liu Chugrong's face and what the palace maid had said. He couldn't figure it out for a while, but it was not the right time to mention it now. Right now, the matter of the General Shen was still in front of him, but when he added this matter on top of that, it made him even more annoyed.
"Lord Liu will get up first. Don't worry, Lord Liu, we will definitely investigate everything thoroughly. If Honorable Liu is truly wronged, we will definitely make it up to her and restore her to the position of imperial concubine."
Fu Yuheng looked at Prime Minister Liu and waved his hand to get him to stand up. He agreed to it temporarily, as this matter had to be investigated thoroughly.
As for the Prime Minister Liu, Fu Yuheng immediately agreed with a happy smile on his face. It was as if he had restored Liu Chugrong's position. He was extremely grateful to Fu Yuheng.
Because Fu Yuheng was not in a good mood over the past few days, he did not have the heart to deal with the Prime Minister Liu.
The border region was the focus of attention of the entire imperial court. However, at this time, only the ground was covered with blood and the shouts and roars of the soldiers could be heard.
As the cold wind blew, it was as if the heavens were observing with cold blood. There wasn't even the slightest bit of warmth within the wind, making the chilling aura in one's heart appear even more.
"Charge!" An angry shout accompanied by a howling wind came out. The owner of this voice was not unfamiliar, it was the General Shen that Shen Qing Wan was worried about.
The armor shone brightly in the sunlight, but the red spots on the armor were unusually chilling, causing people to shudder.
"Now, we are at the final battle. Success or failure depends on one blow. My brave warriors, charge!" With a loud shout, all of the soldiers in the military camp became excited. Some of them even had red eyes.
"Charge!" Everyone answered and rushed forward without a care for their lives.
Blood spurted out from the wound, as if he was splashing in the air because of General Shen's words.
The smell of blood was so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes. However, the soldiers continued to swing their sharp blades.
"Pfft!" However, accidents always caught people off guard. Just as the soldiers were rousing themselves to attack the enemy, an arrow pierced through the sky and pierced into the chest of General Shen in front of everyone's eyes.
The soldiers at the side didn't even have the time to stop him. All that was left was the wide-eyed look of shock in their eyes. "General!"
General Shen looked at the arrow in his chest and did not dare believe it either.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked towards the enemy troops. A person who was also clad in a high-ranking officer's armor was riding on a horse. He was still holding the bow in his hand and was looking at the enemy with a mocking expression.
As if he had suddenly aged a decade or so, General Shen's body instantly became limp.
"Quick, cover the general and leave!" Assistant General Li Yan quickly commanded the surrounding personal guards to help General Shen up and escape towards the back.
On the way, the enemy troops blocked his way, but fortunately, the soldiers protected him, so he rushed out of the encirclement, but the wounds on his body could not be delayed any longer.
"General, general, how are you?" The personal guards by his side supported him as they tried to help him escape while calling for General Shen, afraid that he would faint. The road ahead was even more difficult.
He did not know what kind of anger he would receive when he returned to the Imperial City. Once, he had been so proud and powerful, like losing a battle, fighting on the battlefield, killing countless enemies, and winning a great war. Thinking back, he was standing on top of the imperial court in the past, a hero who was respected and proud.
But was all this just going to end like this? He had spent half his life fighting, but in the end, he was put in the middle of this battle. He was unwilling to give up! He couldn't accept it!
General Shen thought of the glory of the past, thought of the past, and how miserable he was now under the reflection of the glory of the past.
He used to be brave, but now he was miserable.
It was true that he had been too careless this time around. However, what could he do? Everything had already become a foregone conclusion, and he was only a person in the play. He might have long since reported his defeat to the imperial government.
General Shen protected his chest with his right hand and his left hand on the janitor's body. Half of his body was leaning on the janissary, his face was pale, and the blood on his lips seemed to have flowed out completely from the arrow in his chest.
He struggled to keep his eyes open. After running for so long, he was drained of blood. His eyelids could not support the fight anymore. He opened and closed half of his eyes when he heard the janissary's loud shout.
General Shen was not willing, he himself was once a great general capable of bringing fear and terror to the enemy, how could he be reduced to such a state!
To him, defeat was like an arrow rushing for his life, and it was even more painful than the arrow stuck in his chest.
"General, be patient. The doctor will be here soon!" This was the last sound he heard before he lost consciousness.
Ye Feng hid his body under the soldiers' armor and stood beside General Shen. Ever since he came to the border, he had changed into the appearance of a soldier and had been protecting General Shen in the dark. If not for the fact that there were too many people pestering him, the General Shen would not have ended up like this.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng could not help but blame himself, how could he explain this to Concubine Xian? Before he left, he had promised Shen Qing Wan that he would help protect General Shen. But now, he was fine, but General Shen was lying on his bed unconscious.
Secretly sighing, Ye Feng could only pray that the General Shen would be able to escape from this danger as soon as possible.
The news of the battle at the border had spread like wildfire. There were also urgent messages sent day and night. Soon, news of the defeat reached the imperial court.
The General Shen was defeated, and the glory of War God collapsed overnight. Some people were happy while some were worried.
