49 Threat
"what!?"

Xiao Shen's eyes widened, her face pale and terrifying: "No! No! My heart is my life, everything to me, you can't do this!"

Hearing her words, Xiao Chen laughed angrily: "Your daughter's life is your life, but the life of other people's daughters is not your life? Since you dare to do such a thing, you should know that sooner or later it will fall on your most important on the person!"

"No! No!" Xiao Shen shook her head desperately, subconsciously cried to Shen Ruo next to her, "Ruo'er! It's my aunt's fault! I shouldn't be blinded by jealousy and poison you, but Xin'er is innocent , she doesn’t know anything, just let her go this time!”

She knelt on the ground, crawled up to Shen Ruo with both hands and feet, and pulled her skirt, tears could not stop falling: "Ruo'er! Please! Please forgive me, she is your sister after all." !"

Shen Ruo looked at this scene expressionlessly, completely unmoved: "The sister you mentioned, but not long ago, she called me to die."

"She she just..."

Xiao Shen still wanted to quibble, Xiao Chen saw Shen Ruo's tired face, and immediately shouted: "Enough! Don't mess around here, disturbing the peace of the princess!"

"Come here, send Mrs. Shen out, and don't let her step into the palace again!"

Saying that, the two servants ignored Xiao Shen's struggle, covered her mouth with one hand, and forcibly pulled her out.

After the person was kicked out, Xiao Chen's thin lips were still tightly pursed, with anger floating in his eyes, but after turning to Shen Ruo, his expression eased, and he asked her with concern: "Are you okay?"

Shen Ruo shook her head, after listening to Xiao Shen's shameless words just now, even she couldn't help getting angry, which caused the blood to churn, and the blood that had been hard to recover these days disappeared.

Seeing this made Xiao Chen's heart a little tense, he narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice for this matter."

When she seeks justice?Shen Ruo looked at him in surprise, this has already poisoned Shen Bingxin, how can he seek justice, can he still send Xiao Shen to prison?

Although he was puzzled, Xiao Chen didn't want her to worry about this matter anymore, so he didn't say much to her, thought for a moment, and didn't care much about this matter, so he gave up again.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen called many doctors to check her pulse, and they all sighed and shook their heads, making Xiao Chen's temper even more irritable.

Perhaps that day, her complexion was too ugly, and she was finally able to go out, but Xiao Chen changed his words again and insisted on letting her lie down for two more days.

"Lie down, lie down! If I lie down again, I might as well just lie in the coffin!" Shen Ruo was so annoyed that she stared at the man in front of her.

"You are not in good health now, don't always get angry so easily."

He dismissed her words lightly, picked up the medicine soup, took a spoonful, and handed it to her mouth, "Come on, drink the medicine first."

Shen Ruo pushed it away with one hand: "These medicines are useless, and it's useless to drink them. You tell people not to suffer."

Xiao Chen wanted to persuade him again, but Feng Xi suddenly trotted in and whispered something in his ear, Xiao Chen's face immediately sank: "She actually came in person."

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, pushed the decoction in Feng Xi's hands, and ordered: "Look at the princess, drink the medicine, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Before he even had time to say anything more to Shen Ruo, he got up and strode away.

It was the first time for Shen Ruo to see him look so nervous, he couldn't help looking at Feng Xi curiously, and asked, "Who's here?"

Feng Xi only smirked at her, and raised the medicine bowl in his hand: "Your Majesty, let's drink the medicine first."

……

And in this room, Xiao Chen came to the study with strides, and all the servants around him were driven away. He immediately guessed what the other party was going to tell him.

He stood at the door for a while, then opened the door and went in, bowed his hands and said: "The queen mother is here, I don't know what's the matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a memorial was thrown in front of his boots. The queen was dressed in simple clothes, and her well-dressed face was covered with frost. She asked coldly: "Xiao Chen, your wings are stiff!" How dare you do such a big thing without discussing it with me!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the memorial on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Queen Mother calm down, I just think this is just a trivial matter, and it's not worth disturbing Queen Mother with such things."

"A small matter!?" The queen sneered and sarcastically said, "Do you think it is a small matter to ask the emperor to give the prime minister's wife to death!?"

"If Eunuch Li hadn't discovered this by accident and informed Ben Gong in advance, would you still want to keep it a secret?"

Facing the queen's anger, Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Xiao Shen family shielded the mother's lineage, robbed the women of the people, killed people and seized land, surpassed Prime Minister Shen, colluded with officials, and secretly gave and received. Isn't it worth reporting to the emperor and giving him a death penalty for each of these cases?"

"I am the Commander of the Kyoto Guard personally appointed by the emperor. My duty is to arrest corrupt officials and clean up the government. This is the duty of my ministers."

His back was particularly straight, and he was dressed in a black robe, which made him look solemn and imposing.

"Okay! Good job! Xiao Chen, if I didn't take pity on you back then and put you in Kunning Palace, you would have died long ago! You still have the right to be arrogant now!"

Xiao Chen cupped his hands, and said calmly: "I dare not forget the empress's kindness of saving my life..."

The empress was impatient to hear his flattering nonsense, cast her cold eyes, and ordered: "No matter how much conflict you have with the Prime Minister's wife, we still need the power of Prime Minister Shen, and we must not tear ourselves apart with him no matter what. It's over here, you know?"

Xiao Chen pursed his thin lips tightly: "Queen..."

"Don't forget your mother's hatred!"

A word instantly blocked the rest of Xiao Chen's voice, his eyes flickered brightly and darkly, his lowered face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After a long time, he said in an unusually low voice: "My son knows."

"Also, the poison of the second lady of Xiangfu has also been cured." The queen continued to issue orders.

Xiao Chen frowned, and immediately refused: "This is absolutely impossible."

"Nonsense, it is Miss Shen Er who pushed Princess Jing, and you have put the little girl in prison for a day. Isn't this punishment enough? You even secretly poisoned it. If Shen Xiangcan you, your Military power, do you still want your current power?"

The queen's tone was firm and could not be questioned: "Xiao Chen, don't forget what you should really do."

After a long silence, Xiao Chen finally lowered his head: "I understand."

Seeing this, the queen immediately smiled with satisfaction, she patted Xiao Chen's arm lightly, and said in a much softer tone: "Chen'er, I have seen that you are not a treasure at the beginning, when you help the prince ascend the throne, This position below one person and above ten thousand is yours, don't be blinded by some petty grudges in front of you."

"...Yes, Queen Mother."
