Paranoid male protagonist always wants to attack me

Chapter 9
"The servant will lose his temper if he doesn't see his master." Ah Lu raised her eyebrows and dared to joke like this in private.

"You're getting more courageous, you dare to joke with me!" Shen Mingxi smiled and stepped forward to flick Ah Lu's forehead lightly.

"Ah, the master bullied me." Ah Lu covered her forehead, pouted her mouth aggrievedly, but there was a smile in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"Servant, go and get a new Mrs. Tang for the master." Ah Lu fetched Mrs. Tang, held her hands and ran out.

Shen Mingxi smiled and looked at the heavy snow falling again and again outside the window, leaving only the purest white in this world, clean and beautiful.

After New Year's Eve is the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is originally a day for reunion, but at this time, it is doomed that day, and there will be no reunion.

It was three days before the Lantern Festival. The officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded the entire Nine Princes Mansion layer by layer, preventing people from entering or leaving. They kicked the door and broke in without any explanation, and began to rummage through all kinds of boxes.

The cold sword had not been sheathed, and it glowed white in the snow, which made people feel terrified.

Shen Mingxi was forced to return to the Ming and Qing Pavilion, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion. It seemed that those people avoided this place on purpose.

I can only stay in the room, listening to the noisy footsteps outside until it subsides.

Afterwards, it was learned that the Ninth Prince Xuanyi had been sent to jail for hiding the dragon robe in order to usurp the throne. Even the noble concubine Shu was put in limbo when she went to intercede.

His father was stripped of his official position, handed over the tiger amulet, deprived of military power and sent to the dungeon together.

"Sure enough, everyone who should have come has come." Shen Mingxi sighed and said lightly.

"What will the master say again?" Ah Lu was almost frightened, knowing that once the crime of conspiracy to usurp the throne is proven, the house will be ransacked.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Shen Mingxi recalled what he said at the beginning, and he had some vague guesses, so he comforted Ah Lvdao.

"Master, are we really going to be okay?" Ah Lu tightly grabbed Shen Mingxi's sleeve and did not let go.

"Yes." Shen Mingxi pushed Ah Lu's messy sideburns away, and said with a smile, "Wait for me to wash up, I'm going to a place later, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for a while."

"Where are you going, master, without Alu?" Alu asked carelessly, wiping the tears off her face.

"Dungeon." With slightly parted lips, he said coldly.

"what?"

"Hurry up, or there will be no time." Shen Mingxi unbuttoned his clothes, letting Ah Lu take off the bead ring on his head.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Mingxi finished grooming, the officers and soldiers came to detain him, along with Mrs. Yu and those concubines.

"It's impossible for the prince to hide the dragon robe privately. Someone must have framed him." Crazy Yu shouted while being framed.

Seeing Shen Mingxi at the side, he pushed aside the officers and soldiers and ran over, "Shen Mingxi, can you save the prince, please save the prince, isn't your father the Minister of the Ministry of War? He can definitely be saved."

Shen Mingxi lowered his head and looked at Yu Ruoning at his feet, and said calmly: "Master Yu, do you know the meaning of these four words, prosperity must decline?"

"What! What do you mean?" Yuan was stunned for a moment and didn't realize it.

It's not that Yu Ruoning is unintelligent, at least she became the Prince's concubine by her own ability, but Shen Mingxi suddenly understood the whole thing with such a little understanding.

Today's majesty did it on purpose, so many years of pampering, in order to let the other party relax his vigilance, and to uproot this cancer deeply rooted in his imperial power in the future.

"How come, the tiger poison doesn't even eat its children." Yu Ruoning really didn't believe that the emperor would do this.

"The emperor is ruthless, and the temptation of power is often greater than the love of family." Shen Mingxi saw that Yu Ruoning understood it, and he didn't want to say any more, and followed the officers and soldiers to the dungeon.

Fortunately, it may be the place where the children of the Tian family are specially detained, and it is much cleaner and more spacious than Shen Mingxi imagined.

At least Shen Mingxi saw the bed, even though it was just a simple plank bed.

Not only the father of the Ninth Prince and Concubine Shu were imprisoned in the prison, there were also many officials whom Shen Mingxi didn't know well. The atmosphere they got along with was self-evident, and it was self-evident that these people were the fellow henchmen of the Ninth Prince.

Several people were separated and locked up in adjacent cells. It would be nice to be able to chat when bored, and maybe it would be nice to be able to discuss with each other how to die.

"My lord." Yu Ruoning cried and clung to the fence of the prison door, looking at the Ninth Prince who was only separated by a wall.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who troubled you." The Ninth Prince talked, and the two looked at each other, sighing for Yu.

It's just that Shen Mingxi found out that his father was not among the party members who were imprisoned, but he felt very strange. The marriage between the two families clearly showed that Shen's father belonged to the Ninth Prince's faction, so why was he not imprisoned.

Although it feels strange, but I don't want to waste that thought to think carefully.

Shen Mingxi was imprisoned, not knowing what was going on outside, but just watched some people being dragged out through the crack of the door, and never came back.

Three days later it was the Lantern Festival. There were quite a lot of people in the cold prison. It seemed that after dragging a few of them away, they became so quiet that even the wind outside could be heard clearly.

Every gust of wind blows with a biting coldness, but in the end it is still not as cold as the fear in their hearts.

An exquisite food box was sent outside the prison door, which contained a bowl of glutinous rice balls and several dishes of delicate side dishes. The food box was a special insulated food box, and when they were taken out, the glutinous rice balls were round and steaming.

The glutinous rice balls stuffed with sweet sesame seeds is the kind Shen Mingxi likes to eat. He took out the note from his mouth, and there were two very small words written on the note - wait for me.

Shen Mingxi smiled wisely, and ate the note.

At night, I slept in a hazy place, as if by chance!I heard a bell ringing in my ears, sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.

After waking up, I realized that this was the emperor's death knell. When he passed away, the bells from the temples and temples rang a total of [-] times, and the whole country cried day and night within three days.

Listening to the bells outside, looking at the sky revealed by the small square window above, a white light lit up in the sky, and the white halo was surrounded by colorful halos. The fog fades away and gradually disappears into the light.

"It's dawn."

One or three days later, Shen Mingxi was taken back to the Shen's house while still sleeping in a daze, only then did he realize that many, many things had happened in the past few days.

When the new emperor came to the throne, many, many people died. To what extent, the air in the entire Shangqing Kingdom was filled with bloody and murderous aura that could not dissipate.

But Shen's father committed suicide in fear of crime when the Ninth Prince was imprisoned, and left a last message, so Shen took over the position of Minister of the Ministry of War by himself.
