Chapter 463 The Death of the Prince and the Crazy Yan Lin
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately felt something was wrong, so she ordered people to rush in. As a result, she saw Xue Shu staring at them with a crazy look on her face.

When Huang Renli saw the dead baby beside him, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground. This scene was also seen by the Queen Mother who came in later.

She no longer cared about her dignity and rushed over. The moment she saw the corpse, her body was shaking. If it weren't for the palace maid beside her who supported her in time.

I'm afraid she will be like Huang Renli and the others, sitting on the ground, "Shu'er, Shu'er, how can you do this? Why do you do this? How dare you do this?"

Facing the Queen Mother's questioning, Xue Shu said nothing and just sat there blankly. The Queen Mother became furious upon seeing this, but before she could say anything, Shen Lang came over.

"Mother, mother, what's the situation? How is my son?" Shen Lang said this as he walked into the room. The Queen Mother wanted to have someone stop him, but it was too late.

When Shen Lang saw his son's body, his eyes went dark and his body fell straight backwards. Seeing this, Wang Xinyi hurried forward to act as a cushion.

Only then did the Queen Mother react and shouted, "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

Everyone then hurriedly went to call the imperial physician. After the imperial physician's diagnosis, it was found that Shen Lang had fainted due to anger and great grief, and needed to have a good rest.

At this time, Wang Xinyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the traitor Yongyi Hou is still waiting for your majesty's decision. I wonder how we should respond to him?"

"What else can I say? Just promise him that you will hand this crazy woman over to me and throw her out! Throw her out!" the Queen Mother said directly.
After hearing this, Wang Xinyi immediately greeted Huang Renli, and then took Xue Shu away. At this time, Xue Shu was a little panicked.

Because in her mind, she killed the prince, so Shen Lang should be eager to kill her? Why would he hand her over?

She knew very well that once she fell into Yan Lin's hands, she would be unable to live or die, so she began to struggle fiercely, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

After all, with her strength, how could she be a match for the Imperial Guards? At this time, Yan Lin was already getting a little impatient.

However, he did not take any other action, because he knew very well that once he chose to attack the palace, everything would be irreversible and he would have absolutely no way out.

But just waiting like this is not a long-term solution. After a long time, the morale of the army is bound to be shaken, and the situation will only get worse.

Fortunately, Wang Xinyi didn't let him wait too long. Soon, Wang Xinyi's voice came from the palace wall, "Marquis Yongyi, His Majesty has agreed to your request. Xue Shu is by my side."

After hearing this, Yan Lin naturally hurriedly looked towards the top of the wall, and indeed saw Xue Shu with disheveled hair. Although it was not clear now, he did not think that Shen Lang would lie to him.

Because if he deceived himself at this time, his retreat would be completely cut off, and the only way left for him would be to attack the imperial city. He believed that Shen Lang was very clear about this.

So he directly sent someone to pick her up. Not long after, the deputy general came forward and brought Xue Shu back via the hanging basket. During this time, neither side moved.

When seeing Xue Shu appearing in front of him alive, Yan Lin could no longer stop smiling and started laughing wildly. Then he waved his hand and retreated.

Seeing Yan Lin and the others withdraw, Wang Xinyi was overjoyed and hurried back to the Cining Palace. At this time, Shen Lang had woken up and was discussing countermeasures with his mother.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the rebels of Marquis Yongyi have retreated." Wang Xinyi knelt down and said

"What? They retreated? They really retreated? Good, good, that's great, that's great. In that case, then, let's talk about other things next!"

"Mother, Xue Shu's child must be handed over. I know what you are planning to do, but Xue Shu killed my son, and I will never let him do what he wants!" Shen Lang said with a serious face.

"What? My son, I know you are angry, but, but this child really cannot be touched. If he dies, there will be no candidate for the crown prince, and then the world will be in chaos!" said the Queen Mother.
"Mother, I've said it before, I must kill this child! I hope you won't stop me. I will never agree to let that child become the crown prince!" Shen Lang continued.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother did not speak for a while, but Shen Lang obviously did not intend to ask any more questions, and directly said, "Wang Xinyi, go and kill that child for me! Go quickly!"

After hearing this, Wang Xinyi did not hesitate at all, but walked out quickly. This made the empress dowager's face change. She wanted to say something, but ultimately did not say it.

Because she knew very well that she could not stop her son at all. Even if he continued to speak up to stop her, the final result would not change at all.

In the end, it would do no good except to alienate the mother and son, so she simply kept quiet. And if she didn't speak, Huang Renli would naturally not move.

So Wang Xinyi easily found the child, and then killed him personally. After confirming that the child was dead, he went back to report.

"Dead? Really dead? Great, great, great, great!" Shen Lang said
After being happy, Shen Lang slowly put away the smile on his face, because he knew that now was not the time to be happy, because the biggest crisis had not been resolved.

Right now, Cao Cheng and Yan Lin are still entrenched outside, and the crisis has not completely passed. While he was thinking of a solution, Yan Lin was already interrogating him.

"Hahaha, how about it? See? I said I would reunite your family, and now your family is really together."

"Come on, find me the best one to torture them to death! I watched them wail in front of me bit by bit, and finally died in agony!" Yan Lin said madly.

Soon the best craftsmen came, first Xue Shu, then Xue Ye, then Madam Xue, and then Xue Yuan. Screams and laughter intertwined. It seemed so weird, and the atmosphere on the other side was much better. After Cao Cheng learned that Yan Lin had taken revenge, he went directly to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion.

When Cao Cheng and his men arrived, the craftsmen were almost done. Yan Lin came out with a strange smile on his face and said, "Cao Cheng, are you here to collect their bodies?"

"Yan Lin, I don't think you will let me take their bodies away, so I don't want to waste any more words. I came here to tell you that you have already taken revenge. The soldiers outside my mansion should withdraw!" Cao Cheng said directly.
"Oh? Withdraw? Cao Cheng, what are you thinking about? How can I withdraw? What if I withdraw and you cooperate with Shen Lang?" Yan Lin said
"Hmm? Yan Lin, what do you mean? From what I hear you say, you don't plan to withdraw? Yan Lin, you better think it over!" Cao Cheng said directly
"Hey, don't be so angry. I have to be on guard too. Who told you to marry the princess? I can withdraw this person, but I have to wait until we have a deal with Shen Lang." Yan Lin said
"Huh? That's impossible. My wife is about to give birth. I'm worried about your people guarding outside at this time. You must withdraw your people!" Cao Cheng said directly.
"Haha, Cao Cheng, I'm trying to negotiate with you, but if you don't respect me, then I have nothing to say. Anyway, I'm telling you, I'm not going to withdraw!"

"I still say the same thing. I will not withdraw until everything is over." Yan Lin said directly
After hearing this, Cao Cheng glared at him. Yan Lin didn't get angry when he saw this, but just sat there without saying a word.

"Okay, Yan Lin, then I will wait until the end, but you have to remember, if my wife loses a hair, I will make you go to accompany your father! Humph!" After Cao Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After he left, Yan Lin's face turned gloomy. He was very dissatisfied with the harsh words Cao Cheng had just said, but he just didn't show it.

However, Cao Cheng, who had just left the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, did not intend to wait that long. Instead, he had a letter delivered to the palace that night.

When Shen Lang learned that Cao Cheng had sent a letter, he directly asked someone to bring the letter to him. After reading the contents, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Lang's lips.

Because this letter clearly put all the blame on Yan Lin. In the description of this letter, Cao Cheng was completely a victim who was caught up in an accident.

It can be said that he was completely forced to start the rebellion this time. How could Shen Lang believe this explanation? However, no matter whether the above content is true or false, he needs it to be true.

Because only in this way can this matter be resolved smoothly. As for why he should cooperate with Cao Cheng instead of Yan Lin? Of course, it was because of his sister.

After all, the baby in his sister's belly was Cao Cheng's only child. This bargaining chip was not light, and more importantly, Yan Mu's death was his will.

The reason why he didn't kill Yan Lin at the beginning was entirely because of the situation. He has not forgotten it in his heart, and he believes that Yan Lin will naturally not forget it either, so Yan Lin must die!
So the cooperation was quickly agreed upon, and with the cooperation of both inside and outside, Shen Lang issued an edict the next day, labeling Duke Dingguo as a traitor, as he had been deceived before.

In order to gain Yan Lin's trust, he even issued a self-criticism edict. It can be said that he had done everything possible. Naturally, Yan Lin and Cao Cheng agreed.

So, Cao Cheng was finally able to return to his own house. When Shen Zhiyi saw her husband coming back, she hurriedly said, "Husband, you are finally back. I have been worried to death these days."

"Madam, don't worry. Look, I'm back safely now, right? You're pregnant now, so you must not disturb the fetus. You must rest well and don't get too excited." Cao Cheng said
"Well, don't worry, our son is fine. I've been fine these days. Today, my brother specially asked the imperial physician to come and see him. There is nothing wrong." Shen Zhiyi said

"Really? That's great, great, great." Cao Cheng was very happy after hearing this.

"Oh, my dear, Xue Ning has been with me these days. I told her that I wanted her to come in, and she didn't object. So, my dear, can you take her in?" Shen Zhiyi said

What? Madam, what did you say? You want me to accept Jiang Xuening? No, Madam, don't forget that Xuehui has already entered the house. Do you want Jiang Xuening to enter the house now?

"Madam, if this gets out, what will happen? Besides, the Jiang family won't agree to it. If it really happens, will their family still have face?" Cao Cheng shook his head.
"But my husband, I have already agreed to it. We have already made arrangements. In fact, I also know all this. Isn't the situation different when you take on the responsibility?"

"Xue Ning stayed here unexpectedly because she came to see me. At that time, everyone outside was from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and no one knew what kind of accident might happen."

"We agreed at that time that we would be sisters for life and never separate. Now you want me to regret it, how can I put my face aside?" Shen Zhiyi said

"You, okay, okay, Madam, don't be angry, don't be excited, I promise, I promise, isn't that enough? However, this matter cannot be rushed, you have to let me slowly think of a solution."

"After all, let's not talk about whether Jiang Xuening is willing now. Even if she is willing, what about her parents? Will they agree? These things have to be done slowly."

"Besides, you are about to give birth, and I don't want to take a concubine. Let's talk about everything after you give birth, okay? Be obedient." Cao Cheng comforted
"Oh, then, okay, but you must remember to tell Xue Ning, don't let her think that I regret it, otherwise she will be sad." Shen Zhiyi said

"Okay, okay, I promise. Is it not enough that I promise? Well, madam, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go out first." After Cao Cheng finished speaking, he slowly stood up and left.

After coming out of the room, Cao Cheng went straight to Jiang Xuehui's yard.

When Jiang Xuehui saw him coming, she naturally bowed hurriedly, and Cao Cheng stepped forward to support her.

"Hui'er, I have something to ask you. What's going on with that girl Xue Ning? What's going on with Du Adi? Is it really the princess's own idea?" Cao Cheng said in a deep voice.
"My dear, of course it was the princess's own idea. We dare not disobey you. We definitely did not take the initiative to mention this to the princess, not even a hint." Jiang Xuehui hurriedly explained.

"Well, that's good, Hui'er. I'm not an irresponsible person, but now is really not the right time. The key right now is the baby in the princess' belly."

"As for other things, we'll talk about them later. Ask Xue Ning to come over in the next few days and talk to her about it so she can understand." Cao Cheng said directly
After hearing this, Jiang Xuehui nodded directly. Seeing this, Cao Cheng nodded as well, and then started his own action. The battle was very fierce for a while.

What he didn't know was that at this moment in the palace, a conversation was taking place between Shen Lang and his mother regarding the child in Shen Zhiyi's belly.
