Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 440 Persecution

East Palace.

Murong Heng went out before dawn.

About an hour later, he came back.

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

He asked the palace attendants to go down, walked to the bed, took off his outer robe, lifted up a corner of the quilt, and lay down gently in it.

In a daze, Shen Ruoxi felt hands wandering around her waist.

Turning his head, he met a pair of shining eyes.

"Aheng, are you back?"

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

Murong Heng's fingers on her waist moved upwards, making her breathe unsteadily. Seeing her cheeks were slightly red, he lowered his head and nibbled her earlobe.

"Maybe within the next few days."

"what?"

"The situation is getting more and more tense now. I heard that Prince Rui is already making moves secretly. He can't wait any longer."

Shen Ruoxi was slightly shocked.

"You mean, Prince Rui is really planning to commit rebellion?"

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

Shen Ruoxi turned her head.

"What opportunity?"

"This opportunity will come soon."

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

he whispered.

"How about I find a safe place and put you there temporarily?"

Shen Ruoxi showed a shallow smile.

"Where else is the safest place than by your side?"

"I am the safest, but also the most dangerous."

"I don't want to leave you, Ah Heng. Since you have chosen to be with me, don't push me away. Let's face whatever happens together."

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

After a long time, a soft voice came.

"Ah."

He held her tighter, almost rubbing her into his body.

He was so lucky to have her in his life.

The two chatted for a while, then got up and started having breakfast.

But there was news from outside.

Leng Ye looked solemn.

"Master, news just came that Su Sheng and a group of ministers were kneeling in front of the Qiankun Palace, begging the emperor to come forward and ask him to execute Shen Yue."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi's heart lifted slightly.

"Why do you suddenly demand the execution of my eldest brother?"

"Remember what I told you this morning?"

Murong Heng responded lightly: "Su Sheng is already speeding up his actions. Execute Shen Yue as soon as possible to avoid a long night and many dreams."

Shen Ruoxi looked at Leng Ye: "What happens next, does Father agree?"

"The emperor was furious. He first wanted to torture several ministers, but he was persuaded by Prince Qin. Now the emperor is with them in the royal study."

Qin Chengxuan now serves as the commander of the imperial army and often protects the emperor on a daily basis.

Shen Ruoxi said slowly.

"Commander Qin acted prudently. If my father really ignored these ministers and beat them up, I'm afraid he will have a bad reputation and the situation in the court will be even more turbulent."

After she finished speaking, she found Murong Heng staring at her.

Shen Ruoxi: "What do you want me to do?"

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

Shen Ruoxi:...

She just boasted casually, but she still wants to be jealous?

Shen Ruoxi looked worried: "This is a bit sudden, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Go."

Murong Yao put down his chopsticks and stood up directly: "I will go to the imperial study room right away. You can eat first."

Now that the emperor's temperament has changed drastically, if these ministers are forced to panic, it is not impossible to kill Shen Yue directly.

He couldn't let Shen Yue die like this.

Shen Ruoxi nodded.

After Murong Heng left, she continued to use her chopsticks. After taking a few bites, she felt a wave of nausea and almost vomited.

"Princess."

Taoye came over to help her: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, a little disgusting."

Taoye opened her eyes slightly and said with some uncertainty.

"You can't be...are you really pregnant?"

……

By the time Murong Heng arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the atmosphere inside was already very solemn.

Su Sheng led a group of ministers to stand upright, looking at Emperor Renjing behind the imperial case with narrow, cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yue deserves to die. You have delayed it for so long. It is really against the law to delay it any longer. It is a fact that he killed Tian Ling. You should execute him immediately!"

As soon as he said this, the ministers behind him followed suit.

Emperor Renjing was wearing a dragon robe, with a very ugly look on his old face.

Beside him, Wang Defu reached out and offered him a cup of tea.

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

"I have already told you about Shen Yue. If the prince cannot produce any favorable evidence to prove his innocence within ten days, then I will execute him. Now there are only three days left, why can't you wait so much!?"

"It is a state law. Shen Yue should have died a long time ago. How could it be delayed for so long just because of the prince's words? Your Majesty, as an emperor, you should strictly abide by the state law!"

"Shut up!"

Emperor Renjing waved his robe, and the memorial on the table was 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 upright.

His voice was cold.

"Your Majesty, please execute Shen Yue immediately!"

"I am the king of a country, I am the emperor! I will execute you when I say! Su Sheng, you are being irreverent. I think the person who should be executed most is not Shen Yue, but you!"

Hearing this, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"The emperor wants to execute me?"

Emperor Renjing's eyes were red, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he was extremely angry.

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

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

In anger, Emperor Renjing glanced at Murong Heng outside the door.

"The prince is here?"

The voice calmed down a lot in an instant.

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

"What are you doing, forcing you to have a baby?"

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

They all shook their heads in denial.

"I don't dare."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood. I did not mean this."

"I am loyal to the emperor, how could I do such a treasonous thing..."

Seeing the trembling looks of a group of people, Emperor Renjing finally felt a sense of joy in his heart.

But besides this pleasure, there is also a hint of anger and uneasiness.

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

This world...

Whose world is it?

Su Sheng snorted coldly.

"The prince is here just in time. I heard that the prince requested from the emperor that Shen Yue should be executed in ten days. What does this mean?"

"That's because Gu discovered a major secret."

Murong Heng met his gaze and suddenly narrowed her 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 that he killed Su Tianling would be a happy thing for you."

"What exactly does the prince want to say?"

Murong Heng did not respond to him, but turned around and held his hands towards Emperor Renjing.

"Father, I asked you to give me ten days to find evidence that Shen Yue's crime is not worthy of death. I found it..."

"Oh?"

Emperor Renjing's eyes flashed with dark light: "Then bring it up quickly."
