"That day, Shu Yan returned to the Wei family and said that she was disillusioned with the life in the palace and had no expectations for the emperor. She wanted the Wei family to help her and take the emperor, who was only four years old at the time, out of the palace and live in seclusion in Jiangnan. Her father and mother tried to persuade Shu Yan for a long time, but Shu Yan insisted on doing so. Her father said that he would never help Shu Yan. If Shu Yan dared to do so, the Wei family would not only not help her, but also expel her from the family tree."

"But Shu Yan didn't care and said that she didn't care about expelling her from the family tree! Even if the Wei family didn't help her, she would do it herself. She would not stay in the palace any longer! Her father said that even if she wanted to leave, She also wanted to leave the emperor behind. Shu Yan said it was impossible. The emperor was her child and she must take the emperor with her! "

"Father had no choice but to let mother pretend to agree to Shu Yan in private, let Shu Yan go back to the palace first, and help her leave after she arranged things outside. "

Hearing this, Shu Yuwan finally understood that if Empress Xiaoxian really took Ajin away from the palace, she would make a big fuss with the emperor, and the Wei family was afraid that the emperor would also hate the Wei family. But at this time, Empress Xiaoxian endured everything and died in depression when the emperor was most emotional, but the emperor would never forget it.

And the Wei family, as the mother's family of Empress Xiaoxian, would hardly be suspected even if they really found out something.

The Wei family really has a cruel heart and a vicious calculation!

Duke Wei continued, "Later, my mother went to the palace to visit Shu Yan many times, but Shu Yan still insisted on taking the emperor away, so my mother had to..."

"Had to..."

Duke Wei couldn't continue, but everyone present naturally understood.

Wei Wushuang looked at his father in disbelief. Duke Wei didn't dare to look at women, didn't dare to look at anyone, but just lowered his head helplessly.

He knew it at the time, and she didn't agree, nor did she stop it.

He has always had a good relationship with his sister, and his sister has always been close to the children in the family, but in the face of family interests, he couldn't make a choice and could only choose to remain silent.

The emperor was in pain.

Shu Yuwan walked to the emperor and held his hand. The emperor forced a smile at Shu Yuwan.

Shu Yuwan sighed in his heart. Everyone said that Empress Xiaoxian was the only one who won the emperor's favor, and even the prince and Duke Wei's mansion received more attention.

Who would have known that she, a soul from a foreign land, came here, and endured her husband's many wives and concubines, while being stabbed by her parents. I think Empress Dowager Xiaoxian must have been very desperate back then.

Duke Wei recovered from his grief and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my father and mother were helpless back then. If Shu Yan had taken you out of the palace, you would have lost the throne!"

The emperor said gloomily: "So, I have to thank Duke Wei's mansion!"

"But I would rather my mother live." There was a rare sadness in the emperor's voice.

Shu Yuwan trembled all over when she heard it.

Duke Wei and Wei Wushuang did not dare to say anything else.

Duke Wei knew in his heart that today, the glory of the Wei family in Shangjing, which had continued for decades, was about to end!

Sure enough, the emperor was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "The Wei family murdered Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and the whole family should be executed..."

The emperor paused, then continued: "Considering that the culprit is dead, the Duke of Wei is stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner!"

After hearing this, Duke of Wei fell to the ground, his eyes lost their luster. The Duke position that the Wei family had kept by being careful for generations was about to be lost in his hands! He didn't know how he could face his ancestors after his death!

Wei Wushuang said anxiously: "Emperor brother, you can't do this, the Wei family is my aunt's family!"

The emperor heard this, looked at Wei Wushuang, and said coldly: "Abolish Wei Wushuang's title of Princess Pingkang and demote her to a commoner!"

Wei Wushuang looked at the emperor incredulously. This matter had nothing to do with her! Why even her princess title was abolished? Is the emperor brother trying to force the Duke of Wei's mansion to death?

"Emperor brother, you can't be so heartless!"

Duke Wei also cheered up and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't do this! The Wei family is Shu Yan's mother's family after all. If you do this, it will only make people talk about Shu Yan and make Shu Yan uneasy in the underworld!"

The cries and pleas of the father and daughter were noisy in Chenggan Hall.

The emperor did not look away and had Duke Wei and his daughter taken out.

After everyone left, Shu Yuwan looked at the emperor who looked unhappy and said distressedly: "Ajin, maybe my mother has gone back, don't be too sad."

The emperor smiled, hugged Shu Yuwan tightly, leaned his head on Shu Yuwan's shoulder, and whispered: "Wanwan, people may not believe it, if I can exchange my mother for a safe and worry-free life, I am willing to exchange this throne."

At this moment, Shu Yuwan's heart seemed to be pried open, and the long-standing defense and hardness were softened by such a soft emperor.

Shu Yuwan whispered: "Ajin, I believe it."

"I finally gave the Wei family a way out. The executioner is dead, and the rest, Wushuang and others, are innocent after all." The emperor seemed to blame himself.

Shu Yuwan comforted him, "If Empress Dowager Xiaoxian were here, she would support the emperor's decision."

She didn't know whether Empress Dowager Xiaoxian supported it or not, but she knew that the current emperor,

After the imperial edict was issued, the Wei family was in a bleak state.

In order to maintain the face of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, the imperial edict of demotion did not mention that the Wei family had murdered Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, but only said that the Wei family had rebelled against the emperor. Wei Wushuang was also sent back to the Wei Mansion from the palace.

After Lian Zhi heard about this, he hurried to the Duke of Wei.
