There was a flash of surprise in Shen Ying's eyes, and he quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty~"

But before he could get in front of Ji Xunchuan, he was frightened away by his Rakshasa-like gaze.

"Kneel down." Ji Xunchuan fiddled with his ring. It was just two words, but they were intimidating without any anger.

Shen Ying fell to her knees, but came forward and tentatively hooked Ji Xunchuan's sleeves, and said tenderly: "Your Majesty, did Ye Ying'er do something wrong?"

Ji Xunchuan turned his head, snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and lifted Shen Ying's chin.

"You've become more and more complacent these days." Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Shen Ying said repeatedly: "I dare not, I have always been respectful..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Xunchuan's voice: "How dare you plot against Wan Tang? You've really had enough of your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan suddenly threw Shen Ying's hand, and Shen Ying also fell to the ground.

A panicked tear rolled down her cheeks: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not like that..."

"It's not like that? Then what is it like? Is it that you bullied Wan Tang? Or is it that you drugged Wan Tang and murdered her?"

Ji Xunchuan tore off the fig leaf from Shen Ying's body, and she instantly became panic-stricken.

"You may have forgotten that everyone in this palace belongs to me. You are just a concubine. Do you really think you can rebel against the heaven?"

Ji Xunchuan yelled angrily.

There was a moment of silence in the palace, and Ji Xunchuan's eyes regained their calmness. He slowly stood up and walked out.

"Princess Ying has a corrupt character and has brought disorder to the palace. Now she will be a concubine." Ji Xunchuan said coldly and did not look at Shen Ying again.

"Your Majesty, this is a scandal in the palace..." The eunuch beside him frowned slightly and slowly stepped forward to inquire.

"If you can't even handle this little thing, your head won't need to stay on your neck." Ji Xunchuan didn't even look at him, he snorted coldly and left.

In the inner courtyard of the Cen Mansion, in an unattended warehouse, candlelight flickered all night long.

"Miss Shen, there has been no news from the inner prison. I think the young master is probably being held in the palace."

Pei Qing was outside gathering information and hurried back.

Shen Wantang frowned; the thing she was worried about finally happened.

If he was locked up in the inner prison, maybe he could be rescued after some efforts, but if he was in the palace, that would be impossible.

Suddenly, Shen Wantang raised his eyes and looked at Cen Xiao beside him: "You go to inquire about the news like this, and no one will embarrass you?"

Pei Qing shook his head: "No, it's very strange, they seem to be expecting me to go."

As the words fell, the thoughts in Shen Wantang's mind became more and more real.

Then, she slowly stood up: "It seems that I need to go to the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stood up.

Xia Huai'en said immediately: "No! If you go to the palace with your identity now, it would be deceiving the emperor! You will lose your life before the rebellion even starts!"

"Ms. Shen, please believe in Cen Xiao. He will be able to turn the danger into safety."

Ji Xunze at the side also spoke quietly, fearing that something might happen to Shen Wantang.

But Shen Wantang's expression did not relax at all, and his brows were full of determination.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I am fully confident about this matter."

Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

But after the words fell, Ji Xunze was a little confused, frowning slightly: "How sure are you?"

Shen Wantang glanced around and said in a cold voice: "Tonight, I will definitely bring Cen Xiao back safely."

After leaving a few words, Shen Wantang changed his clothes and rode towards the palace.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The eunuch trotted to the imperial study, his words filled with panic.

With a sudden sound, Ji Xunchuan's hand shook violently, and the words he had just written were ruined for no reason. In an instant, anger filled his head. He raised his head, picked up the seal at hand and threw it over.

It hit the eunuch's head right on the spot.

The eunuch suddenly knelt down, his whole body trembling.

"Next time I hear you howling like a ghost, watch out for your head!"

Ji Xunchuan scolded coldly, and the eunuch nodded cautiously. A burst of warmth fell from the corners of his temples, and a few drops of bright red fell.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shen Wantang requests to see you."

The eunuch spoke tremblingly, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ji Xunchuan didn't care. He threw the bad words aside and said in a cold voice, "Call her in."

Shen Wantang walked forward slowly and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I am Shen Wantang, your servant. " Shen Wantang frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

Ji Xunchuan had an ambiguous smile on his face: "Ms. Shen is really capable. She is so good at escaping from the shell."

"I know that I have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I have come to apologize to Your Majesty."

Shen Wantang raised his hands and kowtowed respectfully.

Ji Xunchuan finished writing the words, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked up.

"Oh? Then tell me, how should I convict you?"

Ji Xunchuan pulled the corners of his mouth, but his smile didn't express his meaning.

"I know my crime is unforgivable, but now that the country is facing a crisis, I am willing to help Your Majesty solve the problem. When this matter is over, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Shen Wantang knelt on the ground, speaking every word loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of sneering in the hall. Ji Xunchuan put down the brush in his hand and slowly raised his head: "You?"

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is plotting a rebellion. Have you won me back for me?" Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"I have no way, but there is only one person in the world who can help me."

Shen Wantang slowly raised his eyes, "The son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Cen Xiao."

As soon as the words fell, Cen Xiao laughed disdainfully: "Ask them to kill each other? Do you really think I would be such a heartless person?"

Seeing Ji Xunchuan's hypocritical face, Shen Wantang felt nauseous, but could only suppress her disgust and slowly said, "As long as the country is at peace, what's the problem with sacrificing these things?"

Ji Xunchuan nodded in satisfaction, but his expression suddenly changed, with a melancholy frown on his brows: "It's a pity that Cen Xiao is confused now. Wan Tang, what do you think we should do?"

As he spoke, Ji Xunchuan slowly walked forward, grabbed Shen Wantang's hand and stroked it.

"If Your Majesty trusts me, I am willing to go and give you advice." Shen Wantang suppressed her nausea and pretended to be calm.

Ji Xunchuan smiled and said, "That depends on how important my Wan Tang is in Cen Xiao's heart."

As he spoke, his other hand slowly raised up, passed across Shen Wantang's jaw, and stopped at her chin.

"Someone come here!" Ji Xunchuan said sternly, and the person waiting at the door hurried over.

"Go and take Miss Shen to Cen Xiao's residence." Ji Xunchuan stood up and regained his previous calmness.
