Chapter 130 Those who disobey orders will be beheaded!
The reason why the emperor wanted Wen Zhi to take the blame was mainly because he thought he was easy to control.
He has no family power behind him, his wife is newly pregnant, and the couple have a deep affection. He is simply a hostage delivered to his doorstep!
As long as Wen Zhi's wife is controlled, he will be able to submit.
In fact, Wen Zhi did the same.
In order to protect his wife and her unborn child, he had never thought of defending himself or letting the truth come to light.
When he heard that he was thrown into prison, he became a discarded pawn to the emperor.
He really didn't want to waste his energy on this discarded pawn, so he didn't even send anyone to strengthen the defense at Wen Mansion.
When Shen Ruoyan's people went there, they acted as if they were in an empty place. When they brought Madam Wen out, they didn't even alarm anyone - it might be even less safe for her to stay in the Wen Mansion than to be outside.
Now that the hostage is gone, will Wen Zhi still follow the emperor's arrangements and plead guilty?
Although he heard that he was promoted by the Queen Mother, as a subject, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are his duties. In his heart, doesn't he also have a longing to be an emperor?
In Wen Zhi's heart, being appreciated by the emperor, bringing his talents into play, and serving the court was his biggest dream!
However, when the soldiers broke into the mansion and took him away like a prisoner...all his dreams and hopes were shattered at that moment!
The emperor never regarded him as a subject, but just as a chess piece that could be discarded at any time. This made Wen Zhi feel that his existence was a joke, coming and going at will, without leaving any trace.
I originally thought that this would be the way my life would be.
Being able to keep his wife alive is a comfort.
But now, his wife is missing!
Wen Zhi was not stupid. After a little thought, he realized that the emperor had not sent anyone to protect his wife!
Otherwise, how could he be taken away so easily?
This shows that even if he confessed his crime and took the blame as the emperor said, his wife might not be able to live a stable life as agreed before.
A king never jokes, but the king he followed always joked!
Can such an emperor still be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
Wenzhi is not a pedantic person, he is stubborn but not rigid. Knowing clearly that there is a dead end ahead, but still rushing forward without hesitation, that is not Wenzhi's true style.
The reason why Shen Ruoyan discovered him among so many students was not because of this.
It’s because Wen Zhi has talent, and more importantly, his talent is that he knows how to adapt!
Shen Ruoyan didn't have to wait long before Wen Zhi's reply arrived.
There was no paper or pen in the prison, so what she received was Wen Zhi’s letter written in blood!
Shen Ruoyan watched quietly, her brows furrowed more and more as she watched. The faint smell of blood wafted from the paper, indicating that all this was real and not her imagination.
Qiu Ye and Chun Xi were waiting nearby, not daring to disturb them.
Qiu Ye was actually very anxious and wanted to ask, what was written on the blood letter and why did the lady look like that?
But she knew that if the lady didn't tell her, she couldn't ask, otherwise, she would be the one in trouble...
But her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan did not intend to hide it from them. She placed the letter on the candle and lit it. After watching it slowly turn into ashes, she spoke: "Master Wen has agreed. You must take good care of Madam Wen. Don't let her make any mistakes before the matter is over!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Because Mrs. Wen was pregnant, Shen Ruoyan specially prepared a room next to the yard and had a doctor on standby at all times.
He also sent Chun Xi, the most reliable person around him, to take people to take care of them.
I'm just worried that something might happen to Mrs. Wen's health.
Fortunately, although Madam Wen was weak, her character was not as weak as the outsiders said. After knowing that they just wanted to use her as a handle to make Master Wen refuse to plead guilty and cover up the truth, Madam Wen never made trouble again.
She was just an ordinary pregnant woman. She didn't understand those helpless sacrifices - she just wanted her husband to live!
No matter what kind of reputation.
She doesn't care about any of this.
With Mrs. Wen's cooperation, her pregnancy became more stable. Even the doctor said that her complexion had improved a lot.
Shen Ruoyan ordered people to tell Wen Zhi all these trivial matters in detail, even the fact that Madam Wen ate half a bowl of rice extra today, he should be informed at any time.
Only by being specific about every little thing can he feel how hard Mrs. Wen works!
Madam Wen is the driving force behind Wen Zhi's struggle. How easy is it for a person who has been determined by the emperor to plead guilty to overturn all the conclusions?
I'm afraid that prison is the first hurdle he has to overcome.
Shen Ruoyan knew how difficult this road would be, so he asked someone to pass on all the details of Mrs. Wen's daily life to Wen Zhi, hoping to arouse the hope in his heart and grit his teeth to persevere!
No matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter what torture you endure - you must endure it!
As for Mrs. Wen, Shen Ruoyan did not ask anyone to send back any news about Wen Zhi.
Sometimes, for her, hearing that there is no news is the best news.
Shen Ruoyan was not idle either. The latest battle situation in Nanwu was reported. Meng Su wanted to launch a fierce attack on Nanwu before the imperial army arrived!
And now, King Huainan is discussing countermeasures. Although Nanwu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Meng Su really fights, it will be troublesome for them.
If the imperial army cannot arrive in time, I am afraid that Nanwu will be lost!
Once Meng Su's army crosses Nanwu, even Shengjing will be under their swords - the entire Dasheng will be in danger!
Shen Ruoyan has a secret weapon in her hand, which is the thing she least wants to use and hopes that she will never be able to use.
But if the situation in Nanwu really reached a life-and-death moment, she would not care whether she would be exposed.
The safety of the country always comes above her personal interests.
If the country had not been safe, she would not have been able to accumulate so much strength when she was the queen mother.
Enjoyment and giving exist at the same time. She enjoys supreme power, and when the country is in danger, she will naturally stand up - this is the country they have protected from generation to generation, and it is the ideal that all generals and ministers fight for.
As long as the country exists, the home exists.
Nanwu must be defended!
"Pass on my order. Once Nanwu is lost, do your best to protect the King of Huainan! At that time, hand this token to him. Everyone must obey his orders. Anyone who disobeys his orders will be executed!"
"I obey my orders!"
