On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Your Majesty, if you give me this tiger talisman, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?"

Cen Xiao spoke hoarsely.

Ji Xunchuan sneered: "You can give it a try and see what I will do."

As he spoke, Ji Xunchuan picked up a handkerchief beside him, put it to his mouth and coughed twice.

The crabapple flowers on the handkerchief were dazzling and Cen Xiao recognized it at a glance. It was Shen Wantang's thing.

"Go ahead, my dear. I will bring you back victoriously. Beautiful concubines, lovely wives, and a ton of gold will all be yours."

Ji Xunchuan waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

Cen Xiao clenched the tiger talisman in his hand, gritted his teeth, and hid the anger in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Outside the city, there was a vast expanse of white as the army gathered. General Ye, who was leading the army, was looking towards the city gate.

"Who is our coach? Why hasn't he come yet?" The subordinates were already getting impatient. It was freezing cold, and even though they had winter clothes on, they still couldn't stand it.

"This time, Your Majesty assembled the army first and then mentioned the commander. I think he is probably a powerful man."

The adjutant at the side echoed.

But just as he finished speaking, General Ye on the side sneered: "I don't care who he is, he asked our brothers to wait in the snow like this, when he comes, I will teach him a lesson."

From time to time, the city gate quietly opened, and a single general on horseback slowly walked towards the army.

It was hard to see clearly from a distance, but when I got closer I could tell who it was.

Everyone was shocked, and General Ye was so shocked that he was speechless.

"How, how, how could it be that Cen Xiao!" the deputy general exclaimed, and the hand pointing at Cen Xiao could not help but tremble.

"Your Majesty, killing the father with the son..." A voice came from the crowd.

But before he could finish his words, he was frightened by a sharp look from General Ye and was forced to hold the words back.

"Don't discuss the affairs of the court."

Cen Xiao moved the reins, and the horse stopped. He raised the tiger talisman in his hand high and said in a cold voice: "All soldiers, listen to my orders. Follow me to Mobei to quell the rebellion."

After the words were spoken, no one responded.

General Ye had a sneer on his face. "Yes, no one is more familiar with the road to Mobei than General Cen."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Ji Xunchuan had no intention of joking with these people. He pulled the reins and the horse went to the side.

Everyone followed and the army slowly set off.

Bang bang bang!

The palace gate was knocked loudly. Shen Wantang went out to take a look. He just glanced blankly and then said, "This palace gate is locked from the outside. Go ask the imperial guards for the key, and then come back to me."

After leaving behind some meaningless words, Shen Wantang wanted to go back to his room.

But just as he was about to return to his room, the palace gate was opened with a squeak.

She slowly turned around and saw the familiar figure.

Shen Ying came forward slowly and put down what she was holding: "Today's meal."

Shen Wantang lowered his eyes and glanced at him, sneering: "Did my sister add anything to the food today?"

"Inside the Imperial Palace, even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to harm anyone."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows and spoke in a higher voice.

There is some truth in this.

However, her submissive character now is not like the Shen Ying of the past, and it aroused some suspicion from Shen Wantang.

She picked up the food beside her and smiled calmly: "Since you entered the palace, you and I have not talked to each other. Are you free today to talk?"

As he spoke, Shen Wantang tilted his head, suggesting Shen Ying to go into the house.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here. If you go inside, no one will be suspicious." Shen Ying was not stupid. She pretended to be respectful and bowed.

"If you are afraid, just stay in the corridor. There are His Majesty's men all around. Are you relieved?"

Shen Wantang walked to the side, placed the food on the wooden table, and then ordered the servant waiting at the door to move the charcoal basin to the corridor.

Shen Ying finally calmed down and slowly walked forward.

"What else do you have to say to me, sister?"

Shen Ying sat down, fiddling with her hands, and spoke coldly.

"Madam Liu, why did she die?"

Shen Wantang went straight to the point.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ying's hand paused, and there was a bit of panic in her eyes. She cleared her throat and spoke slowly: "My mother was sick and could not be saved. She is gone."

Shen Wantang stared at Shen Ying with burning eyes. She was the one who usually relied on her mother the most. Now that her mother passed away, there was no nostalgia on her face when she talked about it.

"But why did I hear that it was caused by arsenic?"

Shen Wantang pretended nothing happened and continued eating.

Shen Ying, who was standing by, felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. As she listened to Shen Wantang's constant pressure, she became a little angry and started to cry. "Shen Wantang, you never looked my mother straight in the eye on normal days. Now that she's gone, you're pretending to be a good person and starting to feel sorry for her?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

Shen Ying suddenly stood up, then turned and left.

"Did you visit your father during his time in prison? I heard that he was discussing this with the jailers a few days ago. It seems that your father knows a lot about it."

Shen Wantang suddenly spoke, startling Shen Ying who was standing beside him.

She couldn't bear to listen any longer and ran away.

Seeing Shen Ying looking guilty and frightened, Shen Wantang snorted coldly.

Just as the palace gate was about to close, Shen Wantang suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a moment!"

The little palace servant who was closing the door suddenly raised his head, and Shen Wantang came up to him and stuffed the things in his hand into his hand: "Thank you, eunuch. I like to eat chestnut cakes from the shop on South Street. Can you buy some for me?"

When the young palace maid was hesitating, the imperial guards hiding in the dark descended from the sky, with long brows furrowed and a look like a demon, and subdued the young palace maid so that she dared not speak.

"Please forgive me, my lady. I can't count."

The little palace maid's voice trembled as she quickly retreated.

Shen Wantang glanced at the imperial guards beside him and sneered, "Your Majesty only asked me to stay in the palace for a few days and told people to treat me well. Why, is this how you treat me?"

The imperial guards naturally didn't buy it. They glanced at Shen Wantang and then prepared to leave.

"It's okay. If you don't buy it for me, I will report it to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to judge and see who is at fault!"

As he spoke, Shen Wantang prepared to leap, using his lightness skills to jump away from the palace wall.

Seeing this, the imperial guards hurried forward and grabbed Shen Wantang.

"It's just running an errand for me. It's better than losing your head if I get lost and His Majesty asks you for me and you can't find me, right?"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows and smiled sarcastically.

"Remember, I am here to give face to the emperor, not to you."
