The vicious stepmother doesn't clean up her innocence, she slaps her face professionally and ra

What's more, during the time they delayed, General Guoan had already brought a large number of troops and joined Xiao Yan and Shen Changfeng's subordinates to go to the palace to rescue the emperor.

With the arrest of Xie Anze, all those who were plotting rebellion were also caught in the net.

The huge splash caused by a sacrificial ceremony has gradually subsided.

After the crisis was resolved, Xiao Jin's legs went limp and he sat uncontrollably on the cold floor.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"emperor!"

When Xiao Jin looked up again, he had an expression that seemed to be a smile, and his hands tightly held Xiao Yan's arms. After looking around, he spoke tremblingly.

"For so many years, I have known what he did, but I can't do anything about it!

Now that this has happened, I feel deeply ashamed and know that I do not have the ability to continue sitting on this throne.

Third brother, if he hadn't pushed you out of the imperial city and given you a fiefdom outside, with your ability, you would have been more than capable of sitting on the throne."

Xiao Yan realized something and immediately said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about! Get up first. Now that the crisis is over and he has received the punishment he deserves, there is no need to think too much about some things."

"But I am ashamed. I have no face to face my ancestors. I am not at ease sitting on the throne! Third brother, why don't you take advantage of this day and..."

"emperor."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Changfeng interrupted him and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, don't feel ashamed. You care about the people and are full of goodwill, but compared to him, you just can't be as ruthless as him.

That's why he made things difficult for me and trapped me here. But now that he has been removed, the emperor has plenty of opportunities to make up for what he owed to the people in the past few years, and he also has plenty of time to lead the Tianqi Kingdom to better development. "

Shen Changfeng is almost ten years older than Xiao Jin. When the late emperor was still alive, he knew these princes very well.

Xiao Jin was smart in governing the country, but he was too gentle and lacked the courage of a king.

This is also the reason why the late emperor entrusted Shen Changfeng to be the regent after his death. The purpose was to let Shen Changfeng assist him in governing the country for those few years.

Once he becomes familiar with the position of monarch, his temperament will naturally change.

But no one had expected that Xie Anze was causing chaos in the court. He had thoughts that he shouldn't have had, and hid it from everyone, secretly planning everything behind the scenes.

Now God has opened his eyes and the evildoers have received their retribution.

Xiao Yan immediately echoed Shen Changfeng's words.

"Lord Shen is right, Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself for this matter. Moreover, you have just put down the rebellion and you are about to give up the throne. If outsiders knew about this, what would they think of our royal family?

What will I think of you, and what will I think of me? Moreover, I have never coveted the throne. The reason why I came to the imperial city this time was purely to seek justice for Lord Shen.

He trusted Xie Anze so much in the beginning, but in the end, he was betrayed and used by him, which led to the destruction of his family.

Isn't it because of him that the people have been living in misery for so many years? I know that the emperor has rejected many things, but I just can't win over him.

Even if your imperial decree is issued, he has all kinds of abilities to reverse the situation behind the scenes. This situation will never happen again in the future."

Only at this moment did Xiao Yan truly feel that they had won.

The evil spirit that harmed people finally got his retribution!

His heart, which had been hanging in the air, could finally settle down.

Xiao Jin looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and with the help of Xiao Yan, he stood up little by little.

He looked at Shen Changfeng and sighed.

"Master Shen, you have worked hard outside for so many years.

Now that justice has been done, it is time to clear your Shen family of the charges that they once bore.

On a chosen day, I will restore your status as regent and add the Shen family members who died in this incident to the list."

At this moment, Gu Yiyi on the side saw the light in Changfeng's eyes.

Although it was not easy to detect, she still captured it keenly.

She understood what this moment meant to him, and he must be excited at this moment.

So many years of perseverance, so many years of forbearance and pain have finally paid off.

Restoring her identity might not be important to her. What was important was that he personally sought justice for the Shen family and cleared their names!

Let the souls of those deceased members of the Shen family rest in peace.

He looked calm and silent, but only Gu Yiyi knew the emotions gradually surging in his heart.

There were still a lot of things he needed to take care of later, so there was no chance for Gu Yiyi to talk to him alone.

The affairs within the palace were left to Xiao Yan to handle, while Chang Feng was responsible for finishing up the affairs outside the palace, and then brought Xie Anze to the imperial prison.

In this dark place, you can't see your hand in front of you. This is a semi-underground structure, damp and cold all year round, and the walls are extremely solid.

There will be punishments every day, and this time these punishments will be carried out by Shen Changfeng himself.

Upon hearing that he was coming in person, the official in the imperial prison immediately expressed concern.

"Master Shen! This... I'm afraid this will hurt you. Why don't I do it for you? So as to avoid dirtying your hands!"

Shen Changfeng stretched out his fingers, and after his eyes got used to the darkness, he could faintly see the outline of his five fingers.

His hands are not just dirty now.

I used to write with him and compose poems together, but from that moment on, it became dirty.

He still remembers the bloody scene he saw when he returned home.

All the members of the Shen family were lying in a pool of blood. No matter how he shouted, none of those familiar faces could get up.

There are also brother and sister-in-law. After death, their bodies were covered with holes from thousands of cuts. They suffered this disaster in order to protect their children and wives.

Shen Changfeng has remembered those scenes one after another for many years.

Now, of course, he has to get it back from him bit by bit with his own hands.

Wash your dirty hands with his blood.

At this moment, his obscure eyes were hidden in the darkness, and others could not see clearly, but the imperial prison messenger could clearly feel the hostility from Lord Shen.

So he tactfully stopped talking and let Shen Changfeng make his own decision.

At the same time, Gu Yiyi stood at the door of the imperial prison, looking at the flickering candlelight, feeling filled with emotion.

Originally, she wanted to go in with Changfeng, but he said that it was disgusting and pitch black inside, and he didn't want her to be contaminated by filth, so she had to wait outside.

But I waited and waited, and I didn’t know how long I would have to wait.

At this moment, Gu Yiyi suddenly heard a cruel and heart-wrenching sound coming from inside.

It seemed like a painful cry from the depths of hell, making people's backs go cold.

Including the guards standing outside, they all looked in that direction.

But no one said anything.
