After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Xia Hong asked this question quite seriously, and Xia Ling was actually a little embarrassed.

He clearly emphasized that he heard it from Xia Cheng, so how did it become that he heard it from Xie Nanxing?

He was involved with Xie Nanxing for no reason, as if he had developed some unspeakable relationship with Xie Nanxing behind Shen Jinmo's back.

"Hehe." Xia Ling laughed twice, bowed to the two people in the golden palace, and finally performed the equal salute to Xia Xin and Shen Jun. He was gentle and kind that no one had ever seen before.

After explaining the whole story, Xia Ling looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but correct Xia Hong's words.

"It was Xiao Ba who told me about this. He and Xie Nanxing were classmates. I think Nanxing was worried about Wang Heng, so he mentioned it to Xiao Ba a few more times."

It was originally a lie that was randomly fabricated, and now he had to repeatedly explain this flimsy excuse, which made everyone in the golden palace look down on Xia Ling even more.

Throughout the dynasties, unless there was no successor to the dynasty, no crown prince would have ascended to the throne by relying on his lack of virtue but considerable ability.

Without hesitation, Shen Jinmo knelt on his knees and admitted everything: "What the prince said is true, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Alas." With a light sigh, Xia Hong made a conclusion as everyone waited: "Wang Heng, your actions were indeed a bit cruel."

Zhong Luoyue saw the disappointed look on Xia Hong's face and felt that it was most appropriate to say something at this time: "Your Majesty, I have something that has been weighing on my mind for a long time. I don't know whether I should speak of it or not?"

Xia Hong didn't even raise his eyes. The queen was so shy, so it was no wonder that her son couldn't tell good from bad. "The queen can say whatever she wants to say."

Gently waving the round fan in her hand, Zhong Luoyue cast her gaze on Shen Jinmo who was kneeling under the golden palace. She shook her head several times and continued to speak in disappointment.

"This happened before the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiao Mo... Wang Heng went to the Guard Division for duty and had a verbal dispute with the eldest son of the Tan family. Wang Heng actually killed him directly."

"Not only did he destroy Tan Shui's appearance, he also broke two of his ribs. Even the guards who wanted to protect Tan Shui were seriously injured by Wang Heng."

After saying this, Zhong Luoyue sensed Xia Hong's increasingly majestic intimidation and continued to speak to break the silence: "I think it's not a big deal for Wang Heng to deal with a few servants."

"But Wang Heng relied on the favor of the emperor and me and dared to abuse this noble son. If he is not severely punished, the world will think that there is no law in our Great Xia!"

"How could there be such a thing?" Xia Hong asked sternly, but he did not put the blame on Shen Jinmo first: "Pingnan, Marquis Wu'an, is this how you teach your children?"

Without waiting for Xia Xin and Shen Jun to explain, Zhong Luoyue continued to add: "Marquis Wu'an witnessed the whole process that day, and he just sat back and watched."

The handle that had been secretly hidden for several months was exposed at this moment, which was simply a godsend opportunity.

The combination of these two things is enough to ruin Shen Jinmo's future, and even lead to Shen Jun and Xia Xin being convicted.

As long as Shen Jinmo is destroyed, Xia Yu, who has Xie Nanxing as his study partner, will be no different from before.

As for the other princes, they posed no threat to Zhong Luoyue.

Xia Ling raised his head and looked at Zhong Luoyue, then shook his head slowly.

His purpose today was to show his tolerance to Xia Hong by showing kindness to Shen Jinmo.

However, Zhong Luoyue's behavior actually disrupted Xia Ling's plan.

Xia Hong, who was in control of the overall situation, took in the reactions of everyone in the hall. He let the silence spread and was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

Shen Jun took a step forward and broke the silence first: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"That day, Shen Jinmo took action because the pond water forced Shen Jinmo to crawl under his crotch and made Shen Jinmo kneel down and call him grandpa."

"In this world, the only person who can be called Shen Jinmo's grandfather is the late emperor."

"This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and I even asked all the witnesses to give their testimony that day."

"If the Emperor and Empress do not believe it, they can go directly to the Imperial Guards Department to retrieve the testimony."

From Xiao Mo to Shen Jin Mo, there was a huge change in Shen Jun's attitude as a father, and this change was clearly conveyed to everyone in the Golden Palace.

They no longer acknowledge Shen Jinmo as their son.

Zhong Luoyue tightened her grip on the round fan, and her delicately made-up face turned a little paler.

Even though she knew that Tan's words could never be fully trusted, she had never imagined that her mother would plot against her in this way.

Looking at Xia Hong with weak eyes, Zhong Luoyue had to step in to smooth things over: "The truth is this. Tan Shui said such treasonous words, he deserves to be beheaded."

His breathing became heavier, and he suddenly remembered what Chen Luo had said before. Xia Hong's dissatisfaction with Zhong Luoyue reached its peak.

"The Queen is the mother of a country. Not only did she allow the ladies of the royal family to slander Princess Xiaoyao at will, but now she is even saying something that has not been confirmed, framing Pingnan and Marquis Wu'an."

"Today, everyone in this palace is a family, so naturally, we won't think too much about the queen."

"But if this were to spread to the officials and the people of the world, they would certainly think that I was mistreating the two children left by my brother."

The crime Xia Hong brought was quite serious, and Zhong Luoyue was so scared that she walked down from the hall and knelt down in front of Xia Hong: "I have absolutely no such intention. Please Your Majesty, please understand."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. The queen's words and actions today have overstepped her bounds." Xia Hong said that she had overstepped her bounds, so no one dared to question her. "Immediately set off to the Huguo Temple and copy eighty-one volumes of scriptures for the people of the world before returning to the palace."

When Eunuch Lin heard Xia Hong's conclusion, he winked at Chunyu, and several young eunuchs followed Chunyu to help the dazed Zhong Luoyue out of the Golden Palace.

After picking it up heavily, Xia Hong was about to put it down gently: "Pingnan, Wang Heng's punishment of his servants was indeed not neat enough, but those who gossiped about it deserved to be put to death."

"You've already beaten me and punished me, so why don't you just forgive Wang Heng?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinmo quickly turned around and kowtowed to Xia Xin: "My son knows his fault, please forgive me, mother."

Xia Xin was tired, she didn't want to get entangled anymore, she chose to fulfill Shen Jinmo's wish in front of Xia Hong: "Your Majesty, Shen Jinmo and I have long been disgusted with each other, and no matter what he does in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"I'll just pretend I never gave birth to this son."

"Pingnan, what are you talking about in anger?" Xia Hong frowned and comforted him softly, "Although Wang Heng made mistakes in this matter, he deserves credit for maintaining the dignity of the late emperor. Can Pingnan's merits and demerits offset this?"

"Please forgive me, mother."

Shen Jinmo kowtowed again. At this moment, he was like a willful son who had the bargaining chips in his hands but could not threaten his mother and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
