With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 289

Sure enough, as Shen Qianwei said, the next day, the king of Jin conspired against him, and the news of his father and lord killing spread throughout the city.

Emperor Jianning was still ill, and when he learned of this, he was very angry and seriously injured his body.

Su Junning knew that there must be an element of acting in this, after all, even Shen Qianwei knew about it in advance, how could Emperor Jianning not know until now.

After thinking about it, Su Junning also understood that this was probably Emperor Jianning's choice.

In the end, he abandoned King Jin and removed another obstacle on the way of the young grandson's ascension to the throne.

In the prison, it was Shen Qianwei who came to see King Jin off on his last journey.

"My lord, this is the wine rewarded by the emperor, please use it, my lord."

King Jin raised his eyelids and sat on the simple bed made of straw, his back bent and his manners no longer the same as before.

Glancing at the tray in the guard's hand, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I thought Daddy loved me too, but when I meet Big Brother, I'm nothing. Daddy, I still value him more in the end."

Even if his literary talent is not inferior to that of King Chen, his martial arts are even better, and he has made great contributions to Emperor Jianning's seizure of the throne.

But still no match for King Chen.

Shen Qianwei is the only son, so naturally he can't fully understand King Jin's mood at the moment, but he has a very close relationship with his father, thinking about his father's choice to protect others at a critical moment, he will feel chills.

So he didn't speak at the moment, but just saluted respectfully.

King Jin smiled miserably, reached out to take the wine glass, and turned his head to look at the only high square window in the cell.

Today is a nice sunny day. A ray of sunlight came in from the window and sprinkled on his face. King Jin's complexion was as pale as light, and the scar on his face became more and more eye-catching.

Shen Qianwei still remembered that when he entered Beijing from Yanzhou, King Jin wore golden armor, held a red-tasseled spear, rode a tall horse, and walked beside Emperor Jianning with the gentle and elegant King Chen.

At that time, everyone praised Emperor Jianning for his good fortune, and his two sons, one civil and one military, were both dragons and phoenixes among the people.

At that time, Shen Qianwei also regarded King Jin as a role model in his heart.

Now he is also a young general with great military exploits, but he did not expect to personally send poisoned wine to the person he once admired.

"General, can you tell my father a word for this king?"

King Jin turned around and spoke calmly.

Shen Qianwei nodded, "My lord, please tell me."

"My son is not filial, and I hope that in the next life I will no longer be at the knee of my father."

"My lord."

Unexpectedly, he would say this, and Shen Qianwei couldn't bear to overflow in his eyes.

However, King Jin did not hesitate any longer, and drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.

In just a few breaths, blood overflowed from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.

When he was dying, he tried his best to turn his body around, staring at the narrow window, like a prison bird longing for sunshine and freedom.

Shen Qianwei closed her eyes, feeling a little sad in her heart.

When Emperor Jianning didn't move the mind of Emperor Li's grandson, he also valued King Jin very much.

Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly issued secret orders, ordering him to bring King Jin back from Yanhu.

But now that there is a grandson, he only cares about paving the way for the grandson, just like when he supported the king of Jin, he only regarded the seventh prince as a pawn to train the king of Jin.

Shen Qianwei blamed himself, after all, he failed to protect King Jin, which gave the assassin an opportunity to hurt King Jin, so that King Jin had no chance to inherit the rule.

But the world is unpredictable, and there is no medicine for regret and no turning back. No matter how hard it is to calm down, we can only accept the reality and look forward.

After ordering someone to properly pack up King Jin's body, Shen Qianwei came out of the prison.

Outside, Su Yi was waiting for him.

"Uncle." Shen Qianwei cupped his hands, "The errand has been done."

Su Yi lowered his eyes and sighed lightly.

"Then enter the palace and report to the emperor."

The two came here together today, but Su Yi really didn't want to see King Jin, so Shen Qianwei went in alone.

That's right, in the final analysis, because of Su Zhiyi's marriage, Su Yi has a lump in his heart.

After hearing King Jin's last words, Emperor Jianning remained silent for a long time.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, and King Jin's disposal came down quickly.

The debt was eliminated after death, Emperor Jianning only demoted him to a commoner and buried him properly, but he was not entered into the imperial tomb, and he was not prosecuted for the crime of treason.

The Duke of Rongguo's family was part of the same party, who wanted to abolish the officials and titles, expelled them from Bianjing, and exiled them to the west. Li Lingxi, as the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, testified that the King of Jin had meritorious service, so she was exonerated from the death penalty.

Not all the Li family members suffered the crime. Before the incident, Li Yuheng, the eldest son of Rongguo Duke's Mansion, and his wife Wang Xuwei had already gone to work in other places, but they had nothing to do with the affairs in Bianjing.

In addition, Wang Xuwei is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Household Department, and the Prince of Chen also intended to keep her alive and sold the Shangshu of the Household Department as a favor, so he let the young couple go.

It's just that with the guilt of the Li family on his head, unless Li Yuheng makes great contributions in this life, he should not be able to return to Bianjing again, and he will stay in other places as an official forever.

But at any rate, he saved his life and official position, avoiding the pain of exile.

Of course, there was also Su Zhiyi.

Originally, Prince Chen agreed to keep her alive, but later Su Yi begged Emperor Jianning, and Emperor Jianning also agreed, so Su Zhiyi's life changed from keeping her secretly to keeping her openly.

But it is impossible to stay in Bianjing City, after all, King Jin committed a capital crime.

The Prince of Chen arranged for her to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River, bringing the only daughter of the Prince of Jin with him.

After all, Su Yi couldn't bear to see his daughter's life so sad, so he sent two servant girls who had served Su Zhiyi from the mansion to go with him.

Hearing this, Su Junning also found it ironic.

The natal family that Su Zhiyi resented the most was the one who protected her and helped her in the end. The stepmother status she hated the most was now firmly placed on her head.

It was already a month later that all the turmoil was settled.

Emperor Jianning's health also improved a lot, and he returned to the court.

Now, he only has two sons, Prince Chen and Fourth Prince, left under his knees.

Probably because there were fewer sons and more love from the father, the fourth prince who had been bald for many years was finally conferred the title of Duke of the County, titled Gong.

The plot of treason came to an end, and Yan Hulai's envoy was finally able to leave.

With Jin Mu who had been imprisoned for a long time, he couldn't wait to leave Beidi.

Another month later, Yanhu's letter of credence arrived, saying that Princess Sixteen, who was going to marry Beidi, was already on her way.

Emperor Jianning was too lazy to handle the great event of the marriage between the two countries, but he had to handle it properly, so he simply left it to the queen to take care of it.

And the Su family also had a happy event.

The old lady of Xuanping Hou's Mansion went to Lin'an, and made an agreement about Min Zhao and Su Wanyin, and the wedding date was set in May next year.

It can be regarded as following Su Junning and Shen Qianwei.

"Okay, now Yu'an's marriage has not been settled, and Yuren's fame." Su Yi smiled, revealing the rare ease in this period of time.

Cui nodded, "I'm also looking at An'er, and the selection is almost done. I will draw up the brochure tomorrow, and ask An'er to see which one I like."

"Thank you mother for worrying about my son." Su Yu'an saluted with a shy smile.
