The old man's eyes were wide open and he shouted at Shen Siyan coldly: "Shen Siyan! You can't escape this fate!" His gloomy eyes seemed to be able to drag people into endless darkness.

However, Shen Siyan's expression remained as calm as water, without a single ripple.

"Shen Siyan, you are such a fool! Don't you want the throne? We could have helped you ascend the throne, but you are so foolish."

The old man's voice was hoarse with anger. He couldn't accept that his years of calculations had failed at the hands of a young man. He longed to see Shen Siyan's inner collapse and regret, but none of this happened.

The old man stared at Shen Siyan, his heart full of disappointment. Why didn't he have any regrets? That was the supreme throne!

Shen Siyan looked down at the old man and said calmly, "I have never sought the throne."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then his whole body became weak, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Take them away!" Shen Siyan gave an order, and all the remnants of the previous dynasty were escorted away.

At the same time, in Shen's house,

"Princess, you must leave here immediately!" Long Man hurriedly reported to the Princess of Nanyue, preparing to escort her away to avoid being implicated by Madam Shen.

The Princess of Nanyue's face suddenly changed. The development of the matter was beyond her expectations. But she quickly calmed down and said, "Let's go!"

"I will take you away right away."

Long Man said. Leaving through the main gate at this time would be too conspicuous, so he had to leave this place quietly and quickly. Long Man was a skilled martial artist, so it was no problem for him to leave with one person.

Just as the Princess of Nanyue was about to leave with Long Man, she suddenly remembered Guiguzi: "Go find Guiguzi quickly, we must take him with us!"

She also needs Guiguzi to control the poison.

A trace of worry flashed in Long Man's eyes: "Princess, Guiguzi seems to have gone into hiding."

"Hide? Where can he hide?" The Princess of Nanyue sneered.

"Your Highness, time is running out, we must leave immediately!"

"Okay, let's go first." Princess Nanyue finally decided to evacuate first, and quietly left the Shen Mansion with Long Man without disturbing anyone.

After the Princess of Nanyue left, Guiguzi slowly walked out and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he could not travel with the Princess of Nanyue. Once she found out that Shen Siyan had already solved the secret of the poison, she would definitely kill him.

What's more, the antidote for the heart-breaking poison is still in Shen Siyan's hands, so where can he escape to?

The situation in the Shen Mansion took a sharp turn for the worse, and it seemed that the princess could not escape unscathed. Because she had poisoned Shen Siyan, the matter would inevitably be investigated.

Not long after the Princess of Nanyue left, bad news reached the Shen Mansion:

Mrs. Shen was incredulous about the news that Lord Yin was arrested. How could their plan be exposed when it was so meticulous? However, reality was ruthlessly laid out before her - her world began to collapse.

Seeing this, the old nanny hurried forward to support Mrs. Shen, who was pale and trembling all over.

"Madam, do you want to ask a doctor to come and see her?" she asked worriedly. Since early in the morning, Madam Shen seemed uneasy, as if she was troubled by some invisible force.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen's ears were filled with buzzing sounds, and panic overwhelmed her like a tide.

Lord Yin was arrested, and the remnants of the former dynasty were caught. Years of planning went down the drain. Where will the future go? What will he face?

"Madam!" The old nanny's frightened voice interrupted her thoughts. Because the next moment, Madam Shen had collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

"lady!"

The old lady exclaimed again, and the housekeeper came hurriedly with a panicked look on his face: "Oh no! The soldiers have surrounded the mansion!"

"The soldiers said they were here to arrest the rebels?" the housekeeper explained in a low voice, his eyes sweeping over Mrs. Shen, whose face changed drastically.

At this moment, Shen Siyan arrived on horseback, landed steadily, ordered his entourage to wait outside, and walked into the mansion alone. He went straight to the hall, where there was someone he needed to face.

When Shen Siyan appeared in front of Mrs. Shen, she was stunned and incoherent for a moment.

"Why are you here? Aren't you in the palace?"

As he approached, Mrs. Shen trembled more and more, as if she was facing unknown fear.

"You... weren't you poisoned? Why are you still standing here? Could it be that you weren't poisoned at all?"

Shen Siyan stopped and stared at his former mother with a complicated look in his eyes. History repeated itself, and the fate of the Shen family still could not escape her hands.

"Si Yan!" Mrs. Shen tried to get up, but her weak body caused her to fall to the ground again.

"Si Yan, I never thought of hurting you. They forced me to do it. I just had no choice."

"I'm just a woman, how could I take part in a rebellion? They forced me to do everything." Her words were full of pleading and helplessness.

But it was too late. The fate of the Shen family was already sealed, and Mrs. Shen could only pray for a glimmer of hope.

Mrs. Shen's voice trembled, and she tried to grab the corner of Shen Siyan's clothes to beg for mercy. However, Shen Siyan just dodged lightly, and a cold aura enveloped his whole body: "Enough."

"Si Yan."

Mrs. Shen looked at him cautiously: "You can't do this to me, I'm your mother! How could you do such a thing?"

She suddenly remembered that the man in front of her was no longer the child of the Shen family, but the noble eldest prince.

Her expression changed, and Madam Shen quickly changed her words: "Si Yan, even if we are not related by blood, I still raised you for twenty years. The Shen family has been kind to you, how can you be so heartless?"

Shen Siyan is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and is definitely not a heartless person. Seeing this, Mrs. Shen seemed to have found her last hope and tried to move him with gentle words.

But Shen Siyan's expression remained calm. In the past, these words might have made him feel painful, but now, facing Mrs. Shen's stubbornness and repeated disappointments, his heart has become as hard as a rock.

"No need to say more, Madam Shen. The treason you committed cannot be forgiven." Shen Siyan's voice was cold and firm, which made Madam Shen feel a chill.

If convicted, she would be beheaded. Mrs. Shen looked pale, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't want to die.

"Someone come here." Shen Siyan's words had just fallen.

Mrs. Shen felt a chill on her back, and crawled towards him with all her strength, hugging his boots tightly: "You can't do this, it will ruin the entire Shen family."

"Even if you don't consider the Shen family's kindness, you should think about Feng'er. If the Shen family collapses, Feng'er will also suffer misfortune. Do you want to watch your brother die?" She said in a trembling voice, looking up and looking directly at Shen Siyan.

When Shen Feng was mentioned, Shen Siyan's expression shook slightly.

Mrs. Shen caught this slight change and hurriedly continued, "Feng'er is innocent. He is sincere to you and regards you as his own brother. You will definitely not harm him!"

"I will reform myself, pray for the world in the ancestral hall every day, and promise not to cause trouble again! Si Yan, can you give me a chance?"
