Su Peisheng thanked him and stood up, but in front of Shen Meimei, he still kept his head down and did not dare to look up.

Shen Meimei looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

She knew very well that Su Peisheng and Jinxi had a deep relationship, and it was not easy for them to be together now.

So she decided to help them be together so that they could accompany each other in their old age and spend the rest of their lives together.

Shen Meimei looked at Su Peisheng and Jinxi with a smile and said softly:

"Well, lovers finally get married. You are loyal to me, and I know how to be grateful.

I am willing to fulfill the friendship between you two, and we should support each other in the future.

Having a companion in old age and living in peace is also a happy thing!"

After that, she gently patted Jinxi's shoulder and gave her a hug, "Jinxi, you must be happy!"

When Jinxi heard Shen Meimei's words, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Shen Meimei with tears of gratitude and said in a choked voice:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help..." As she said this, she turned her gaze to Su Peisheng, her eyes full of affection.

Su Peisheng was also in tears at this time. He stretched out his hand with a slight tremor and held Jinxi's hand tightly. Both of them were moved by each other's true feelings, and tears rolled down their cheeks.

Shen Meimei felt very relieved when she saw their deep friendship.

She smiled gently and said to them:

"Okay, Jinxi, choose a day to leave the palace! You can continue to do things for me outside the palace in the future. It will be much more convenient to do things with someone outside the palace!"

The next day, the emperor ordered Xia Qian to take Zhen Yuandao directly to the Yangxin Palace.

Zhen Yuandao knew that the truth had been revealed. He knelt down and saluted without being humble or overbearing.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty and willing to be punished, but please spare my family!

Yu Rao will be getting married in a little over a month, and Zhen Heng has been doing his best by the emperor's side. They were unaware of all this, and it was all done by me alone. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty!"

The emperor said coldly:

"You broke the law knowingly, your crime is even more serious! You knew that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, but you were willing to do it. How can I forgive you? Come, throw Zhen Yuandao into the Sky Prison, and everyone in the Zhen Mansion will stay in the mansion to await their fate."

"Your Majesty, please forgive my family!" Zhen Yuandao knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor naturally had his own little thoughts. Zhen Yuandao was guilty of deceiving the emperor and should be executed, while Zhen Heng was at least exiled, and Zhen's wives Yun and Yu Rao were sent to the palace to work as coolies.

This punishment was reasonable and no one could find fault with it. When the emperor thought of this, he felt relieved. If he could not be humane because of Liu, then what was the point of being an emperor?

These are what the emperor is thinking. He hasn't figured out what to do yet, so for now he will just throw Zhen Yuandao into the Sky Prison.

Zhen Heng and Yu Rao soon received the news that the Zhen Mansion was sealed off by the government, and everyone had to stay in the mansion and were not allowed to go out.

Prince Shen rushed to the palace to beg the emperor to spare Yu Rao. He held their marriage certificate and knelt down to beg:

"Brother, if the Queen Mother had not passed away and delayed the wedding, Yu Rao would have been married into the palace and become a concubine. Brother, please release Yu Rao and let me marry her!"

The emperor sighed, pointed at Prince Shen who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily:

"Do you know what crime Zhen Yuandao committed? That is the crime of deceiving the emperor. I am very kind not to kill him immediately. Please go back and let me think about it!"

Prince Shen had no choice but to leave the Yangxin Palace dejectedly.
