Seeing how Shen Dong Ling treated her biological father so coldly, Shen Miao did not think that Shen Dong Ling would have any feelings for her.
Gu Yu also rambled on, "One do not know what she is thinking in her heart. Since she is already in prison, one fear that she would not be able to play any tricks."
"No need to worry. As long as I do not go, there will not be any mistakes." Shen Miao comforted them, "If she wants to ask me for help, I would not be able to do it and it would be useless even if I go. If she wants to pull me into the water, I would not even see her, so naturally there is no other way. "
Jing Zhe nodded her head repeatedly, "Correct. It is correct not to go."
Shen Miao's eyes drooped down but there was one thing that she found strange. The Crown Prince and Wang Bi were naturally imprisoned because of HuangFu Hao's matter but Emperor Wen Hui's decision to convict them spread so quickly. Other than the Qin Emperor's urging, one fear that it was related to the news of the illicit salt trade.
Emperor Wen Hui could not tolerate people who sought wealth under his eyelids, even if it was his own son. The Qin Emperor's coercion and Emperor Wen Hui's anger was the reason why the decision was spread so quickly.
It was just that … How did the news of the illicit salt spread out?
Was it done by Xie Jing Xing? She held her cheeks as she thought hard.
…
In the Palace, outside the Yang Xin Hall.
The Empress had been kneeling in the courtyard for an entire day.
He had been kneeling since dawn. The servants tried to persuade him but to no avail. It was already afternoon. Japan was cold in winter and the ground was covered with ice. After kneeling for a whole day without a cushion to support his knees, it was easy for his knees to catch a cold. He was afraid that his body was stiff. The sun was shining in the sky and even though there were no problems with the Empress' body on normal days, at this moment she was sweating profusely. She clenched her teeth and did not say a word as she silently knelt and looked as if she was going to fall in the next moment.
The palace maid by her side advised, "Your Ladyship, it is better to return first. One fear that His Majesty is busy today so Your Ladyship need not hurt your body. It is not good to catch a cold in this cold weather. "
"BenGong want to kneel." The Empress said in a firm tone, "Kneel until His Majesty changes his mind."
When the eunuch passed the Empress' words to Emperor Wen Hui's ears in the study, Emperor Wen Hui flew into a rage and said, "Let her kneel! Let her kneel! She wants me to change my mind and make her give up! "
Ever since she knew that the Crown Prince's conviction document was out, the Empress wanted to personally see Emperor Wen Hui to plead for leniency but Emperor Wen Hui did not even want to see her. The Empress was worried about the Crown Prince but was helpless and could only kneel in the courtyard outside the Yang Xin Palace Hall, thinking that after kneeling for a long time, Emperor Wen Hui would eventually let her in because of his face.
The Empress knew that the Crown Prince had committed a big mistake. If one were to talk about HuangFu Hao's matter, a discerning person would be able to see that there was something fishy about it and because of this Emperor Wen Hui's heart still protected this son. The matter of trading illicit salt with the Wang family had wiped away the last bit of guilt in Emperor Wen Hui's heart. Now that Emperor Wen Hui was angry and disgusted with the Crown Prince, how could he listen to the Empress' advice?
The Empress also had no other way. After being husband and wife with Emperor Wen Hui for so many years, she knew clearly what Emperor Wen Hui was thinking in his heart but the Crown Prince was her only son. For this only son, she was willing to kneel for a lifetime, so what was one day?
Just as they were in a deadlock, one heard a chuckle from behind and someone walked over enchanting. She was wearing a peach red gold silk dress and her clothes were bright and glowed with glory. She looked at the Empress and said, "Why is Older Sister kneeling here? Scared Younger Sister so much that one thought that Older Sister would give such a big bow to Younger Sister. In the future do not make such a joke again. "
The Empress gritted her teeth as she looked at her with hatred. This person was Consort Xu Xian. To tell the truth, how could the matter of the Crown Prince's illicit salt trade suddenly spread out? The Empress suspected that Prince Zhou and Prince Jing had something to do with it. After the Crown Prince's death, the two brothers would have one less formidable enemy.
It was just that there was no evidence so she could not say anything. But Consort Xu Xian had the ability to add fuel to the fire.
Consort Xu Xian smiled prettily and asked, "Why is Older Sister not going in? Could it be that you have done something wrong and are kneeling to His Majesty for forgiveness? Why not Younger Sister go in and plead for Older Sister? "
