"But if we escape, will he let us go?" Shen Chenbi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Chen and Wan were silent.

Shen Chenbi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in his heart, "Besides, my father's death was no accident. I will find out about this matter and bring the murderer to justice!"

Hearing this, Chen Wan was shocked. Although she also wanted to find an explanation for Shen Guogong, what she cared about more was Shen Chenbi's life or death.

How could the person who could put Duke Shen to death be an ordinary person?

If Shen Chenbi continues to investigate, there will definitely be danger.

Chen Wan spoke carefully, "Xu Er, I know what you are thinking, but this matter is by no means as simple as you think. Although the King of Chu is protecting you now, the King of Chu can protect you for a while, but he can't." We will always protect you, so you’d better come with us!”

Shen Chenbi shook his head, "Mom, I have already decided, don't try to persuade me again!"

Seeing that Shen Chenbi was determined to stay, Chen Wan was heartbroken and said, "In that case, I will stay with you."

"Mom, you and your grandfather will go back to Liuzhou first. When my affairs here are over, I will go find you, okay?" Shen Chenbi advised, dumbfounded.

She knew that Chen Wan was worried about her, but if there was one more person in the capital, there would be more danger. It would be bad if the emperor threatened Chen Wan against her.

But obviously, Chen Wan would not agree, "Don't try to persuade me on this matter. If you insist on staying in the capital, then I won't leave either!"

After some entanglement, Shen Chenbi had no choice but to compromise with her and agreed with a wry smile, "In that case, my mother will stay! Grandfather, the capital is now a place of right and wrong, and the Chen Mansion still needs you. You will do it in a while." It’s better to leave as soon as possible!”

"Now that the emperor is concerned about Shen's family property, it will inevitably involve Chen's family. Grandpa, it's better to make plans early and replace all the flower shelves in the house!" Shen Chenbi was worried and warned carefully.

Seeing that the two of them had made up their minds, Chen Sheng could only sigh, "Forget it, since you have already made your decision, I won't advise you more, but now is a troubled time, so you should be more careful in the capital. !”

Then, the three of them said some personal words.

Fearing that more trouble would occur, Chen Sheng planned to leave the capital overnight.

I originally thought that the emperor would not be able to react to this.

But just before Chen Sheng's carriage left the capital, it was intercepted.

It was already the second day when Shen Chenbi got the news.

Hearing the news, Chen Wan almost couldn't sit still and said with tears in her eyes: "What should I do?"

Shen Chenbi hurriedly spoke out to comfort, "Mom, don't be anxious, just wait patiently in the house, I will go to the prince to discuss this matter!"

After hearing this, Chen Wan nodded.

Now I can only place my hope on Ye Xuanchen.

Shen Chenbi hurried to Prince Chu's Mansion and told Ye Xuanchen about the incident, who promptly sent secret guards to investigate.

"Xu'er, don't be anxious. I feel that this matter has something to do with the emperor, and I will patiently wait for news from Ying Yi!"

Seeing Shen Chenbi walking around anxiously, Ye Xuanchen hurriedly comforted him.

Shen Chenbi pursed her lips slightly, but her heart was still extremely anxious.

Not long after, news came from the secret guard that someone had been intercepted into the palace.

At this time, in the secret room of Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor was sitting in front of Chen Sheng, smiling, "I have long heard that the Chen family is rich, and I want to see Mr. Chen's style. Now that I have seen him, his temperament is indeed extraordinary!"

"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" Chen Sheng was tied up by the Emperor. He really didn't want to listen to what he had to say, so he asked directly.

Seeing him asking this, the smile on the emperor's face froze for a moment, and then he came closer and said his purpose, "I heard that the Chen family has a treasure passed down from generation to generation, the glazed stone. I wonder if Mr. Chen knows that it is now His whereabouts? As long as you are willing to hand him over to me, I will naturally let you go!"

Chen Sheng had guessed the emperor's intention early in the morning, and now that he heard it with his own ears, he felt even more angry.

But he didn't show it on the surface. He just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The emperor is joking, what kind of treasure? This is just a rumor they spread. If there is such a treasure, I am afraid that the threshold of the Chen family will be stepped on." Rotten!"

But the emperor obviously didn't believe this. He stepped forward and pinched Chen Sheng's neck, squinting his eyes with threats, "I want to hear the truth!"

"I am telling the truth. How can the emperor trust me?" Chen Sheng was forced to hold his head high and explain to the emperor.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time. Seeing Chen Sheng's face turning red, the emperor let go of his hand and snorted coldly, "Since you don't want to tell the truth, then I will wait for you. If not today, then tomorrow, when I'm tired of waiting, so I'll get someone to come in and accompany you! Let her see with her own eyes how you died!"

After saying this, the emperor turned and left, and also ordered the guards beside him not to feed him.

Ye Xuanchen learned from the informant in the palace that Chen Sheng was hiding in the secret room in Zhaoyang Palace.

Shen Chenbi on the side was a little anxious, "What should I do? The emperor must have asked about the whereabouts of the glazed stone. He will definitely not spare my grandfather!"

Chen Wan can live well in the hands of the emperor because he still has a trace of affection for Chen Wan.

But if Chen Sheng didn't tell the truth, I'm afraid the emperor would think of ways to torture him.

After all, Chen Sheng is dead, and Chen Wan still knows about it!

Ye Xuanchen obviously thought of this. He frowned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's too late. I will enter the palace tonight and bring the person out!"

"No, it's too dangerous. If the emperor uses my grandfather as a tactic, wouldn't you fall into his trap?" Shen Chenbi shook his head, disapproving of his approach.

But she couldn't think of any good solution, so she could only worry.

Ye Xuanchen held her shoulders comfortingly, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Mr. Chen back safe and sound. If I were caught so easily, wouldn't the wars I have fought for so many years have been in vain?"

Although he said this, Shen Chenbi was still worried in his heart.

But this time Ye Xuanchen didn't give her a chance to refuse, "That's it. Just wait for my good news!"

Now, the emperor has reached the point of being frantic. He is afraid that he will do anything for the glazed stone. He has to save the people before he takes action.

After hearing what he said, Shen Chenbi had no choice but to agree.

As night fell, Ye Xuanchen changed his clothes and headed towards the palace.

Shen Chenbi walked around the palace, still worried, and decided to go to the palace to find Concubine Sun for help.

If something happens, Concubine Sun will still be able to cover it up.

With this in mind, Shen Chenbi hurriedly entered the palace.
