He carried Xia Hong into the bedroom and waited for only two cups of tea. Shen Jun, who was imprisoned in the inner prison and was originally waiting for Xia Che to release him personally, ran over anxiously.

He knelt in front of Xia Xin's bed, holding Xia Xin's hand and cupping his cheeks again and again.

Shen Jinmo knew that he should not stay for long, so he stood up and looked at the warm jade food box: "My Lord, this is what my husband made tonight."

"If you don't mind, Princess, you can have a taste."

Xia Xin, you should try it.

The bedroom door was closed, the imperial guards were guarding the bedroom strictly, and Shen Jinmo was sitting on the steps.

Dawn began to dispel the darkness, inner strength gradually returned, and low, crying voices came out from the bedroom.

Xia Xin lay in Shen Jun's arms and asked cautiously: "Brother Jun, will I cause trouble for Xiao Mo?"

Shen Jun: "No, you are his mother. It is human nature for you to want to sacrifice your life to protect him when you see him in danger."

Xia Xin: "Why are your eyes red? Are you scared?"

Shen Jun: "Yes, don't scare me again in the future. That brat has thick skin and flesh, and he can be fine even if he gets stabbed a few times."

The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding could be heard. Xia Xin said, "It's delicious."

"Brother Jun, don't be jealous of Xiao Mo. He must be heartbroken for hurting Nan Xing."

Shen Jun: "If you get hurt, I will be heartbroken."

He raised the corners of his pale lips and said, "You have thick skin and flesh, so it's okay to feel heartache for a while."

The conversation stopped and the poisoned person fell asleep in Shen Jun's arms.

Shen Jun suddenly began to think about the noodles. They were kept warm in the warm jade box and hot water, so they should not have gotten cold.

But if it is left for such a long time, it will definitely become rotten, but it is just right for patients who have just woken up to eat.

It’s just that the steamed bread slices are no longer crispy and fragrant after being left for a long time. If his mother still wants to eat it…

We can only wait until later...

Standing up from the steps, Shen Jinmo walked towards the Golden Palace in the morning sun.

The dragon throne was carried to the Golden Palace Square, the hemp ropes that bound Xia Hong were untied, and Xia Hong's hands and feet were tied to the dragon throne.

Eunuch Lin, along with more than twenty guards, pushed two cages to the huge square in front of the Golden Palace. The black cloth was lifted, revealing the iron cage that trapped the tiger.

Immediately afterwards, a wooden cage was pushed over, and Xia Hong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was lifted into the wooden cage along with the chair.

Shen Jinmo sat at the table and calmly finished his meal before looking up at where Xia Hong was.

Kneeling on his knees towards where Shen Jinmo was, Eunuch Lin said respectfully: "Master Shen, according to your opinion, this tiger has not eaten for ten days."

Shen Jinmo raised his hand slightly, and iron fences were erected around the square, with heavy troops trapping the man and the tiger in the middle.

He took the key himself and released the tiger.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, and Shen Jinmo reached out to catch a few snowflakes.

The tiger walked out of the iron cage and paced around the wooden cage, as if thinking about how to better swallow the prey inside.

After playing the poison-inducing tune for half an hour out of boredom, Shen Jinmo walked to the tiger and stared at Xia Hong.

"Doctor Shu, I want him to live until the day I want him to die. Do you understand?"

The person beside him at this moment broke through the heavy confinement, which was the best thing Doctor Shu had ever seen in his life.

But the person next to me has not yet reached adulthood.

"The poison on the queen and the princess has been completely removed. As for the emperor's life, as long as you don't give the nod, I will always protect it."

After Shen Jinmo turned around and left, the wooden cage that tied up Xia Hong was kicked all over the place by the tiger.

His eyes locked onto Eunuch Lin who was bending over to pick up the black cloth covering the cage, Xia Hong yelled, "Eunuch Lin, you bastard, I spared your life, but you were instigated by Shen Jinmo to take my life."

He stood up and turned around, smiling sarcastically without explaining a word.

It wasn't Shen Jinmo who wanted him to raise a tiger to kill Xia Hong, it was Eunuch Lin who wanted to raise a tiger to kill Xia Hong.

The boot placed in the tiger cage was the evidence that he had such an idea.

Shen Jinmo simply saw through his thoughts and fulfilled his ideas.

The snow in the capital city has been continuous and has not stopped for more than ten days.

Just when everyone thought that this snow would bring about a snowstorm and once again torment the people living in this land, three perfectly sunny days appeared in succession.

It only took three days for everyone to go from being worried about the snow disaster to being filled with joy at the auspicious snow that heralded a good harvest.

The ice and snow melted under the sun, and the hints of green hidden by the ice and snow were revealed under the sun.

The man and the tiger lived together for more than ten days and nights. The extremely hungry tiger failed to eat the person in the cage and became more and more restless.

The emperor, who had been raised into a plump figure with fine clothes and delicious food, had tried to die countless times in vain. Tortured by his inability to escape, he became so emaciated that only a layer of frostbitten skin remained, covering his aging bones and muscles.

After another failed suicide attempt, Xia Hong looked at the sun and said, "Why...why did you betray me?"

Xia Hong believed that he had never treated Doctor Shu badly in the slightest.

Doctor Shu, who had been waiting for this question for several days, was finally able to speak out.

"It was the Emperor who first used my wife to force me to poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Emperor then repeatedly used his imperial power to oppress me and used my poison to harm innocent people."

"Today, even my wife and I's only disciple died from the poison I personally developed."

His eyes were red, filled with deep hatred for Xia Hong.

It was Xia Hong who ruined his life.

Seeing that there were people who were in the same pain as him, Xia Hong felt happy for the first time in a long time.

"Doctor Shu, don't think too highly of yourself. The path I provide you is the path you want to take."

Without making any excuses, Doctor Shu raised his hand to catch the fragments of sunlight.

"I did nothing wrong in developing poisons. It was the Emperor who used the poisons I developed to harm people time and time again, which made me bear so much sin."

"Without me, this poison must have been developed by someone else."

He glanced at Doctor Shu and said, "You are more forgiving of yourself than I am."

Knowing that Xia Hong wanted to poison people, he still handed over the poison again and again. Doctor Shu knew that he was not innocent.

"The only person I have personally killed in my life is the prince, but the number of people harmed by the poison I have personally developed is already countless."

"For the rest of my life, I only want to be a good person and use my medical skills to atone for my sins."

"If it doesn't work, I will pay off my debt with my life."

"Hahaha, Doctor Shu, you are really quite naive."

His wrinkled face was filled with malicious sarcasm: "Xia Che is leading his rebel troops to the city. Why would he let you go, the one who caused him to lose the throne and indirectly hurt so many people in Dingxi County?"

Doctor Shu was no longer afraid of death. He slowly bent over and leaned close to Xia Hong and whispered, "Do you think that Prince Ming is really your child?"

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Xia Hong, who had long felt that he had been subjected to inhuman torture and that nothing in the world could move him, hugged himself in the wooden cage and coughed bitterly.

The vomiting of rotten black blood is a sign that life is about to come to an end.

The tiger trapped in the iron fence roared agitatedly, forcing Xia Hong to try his best to stop coughing and swallow the black blood.

No matter how much Xia Hong wanted to die, he didn't want to be swallowed alive by a tiger. After death, not only would his body not be intact, not even a bone would be left.
