When Prime Minister Liu heard Fu Yuheng talking about evidence, his voice instantly lowered a lot. He did not have any evidence, but he knew that there were red marks on his daughter's legs that day. Thinking of this, Prime Minister Liu's voice rose a lot again.
"But I heard my daughter mention that there was a red mark on her leg that day. I think someone must have taken advantage of the panic to frame her. Please judge clearly, it is definitely not my daughter's doing. I often teach her at home, so I believe someone must have framed her. I beg your Majesty to make a decision for my daughter and give her justice."
Prime Minister Liu knelt in front of Fu Yuheng, becoming more and more indignant as he spoke, as if he had found evidence to prove Liu Churong's innocence. As he spoke, he kowtowed to Fu Yuheng, begging the emperor to prove Liu Churong's innocence.
Suddenly thinking of Liu Churong's appearance and what the palace maid said, he was a little confused for a moment, but it was really not the right time to bring it up. Now the matter of General Shen was still in front of him, but adding this matter at this time made him even more upset.
"Lord Liu, please stand up first. Lord Liu, rest assured, I will investigate this thoroughly. If Lady Liu is indeed wronged, I will compensate her and restore her position as a noble concubine."
Fu Yuheng looked at Prime Minister Liu and waved his hand to let him stand up. He agreed for the time being. After all, the matter needed to be investigated, and now that General Shen's matter was unresolved, he must not provoke disputes with Prime Minister Liu.
When Prime Minister Liu heard Fu Yuheng's consent, he immediately smiled and laughed, as if he had already restored Liu Churong's position, and thanked Fu Yuheng profusely.
Fu Yuheng had been in a bad mood because of what had happened in the past few days, so he didn't have the energy to deal with Prime Minister Liu. After Prime Minister Liu thanked him, he asked him to leave.
The border area was the focus of the entire court, but at this time, there was only blood on the ground and the sounds of soldiers shouting and roaring.
The cold wind was blowing, as if the heaven was watching in cold blood. There was no warmth in it at all, making the coldness in people's hearts even more evident.
"Charge!" An angry shout was heard along with a roaring wind. The owner of this voice was not unfamiliar. It was General Shen, whom Shen Qingwan was concerned about.
The armor sparkled brightly under the sunlight, but the places stained with blood were extremely solemn and murderous, which made people shudder.
"Now we have reached our last battle. Success or failure depends on it. My brave soldiers, charge!" With a loud shout, all the soldiers in the camp became excited, and some even had red eyes.
"Charge!" Everyone responded, charging forward as if they were risking their lives.
Blood gushed out in streams, splashing in the air as if for General Shen's words.
The strong smell of blood made it almost impossible to open one's eyes, but the soldiers kept wielding the sharp blades in their hands.
"Puff!" But accidents always catch people off guard. Just when the soldiers were inspired and fighting bravely, a feather arrow broke through the sky and pierced into General Shen's chest right in front of everyone.
The soldiers on the side didn't even have time to stop him. All they could do was stare with wide eyes, "General!"
General Shen took a look at the arrow stuck in his chest and couldn't believe it.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he looked towards the enemy army. A man also wearing general's armor was riding on a horse. He had not put down the bow and arrow in his hand and was looking at him with a mocking expression.
General Shen's body suddenly went limp, as if he had aged ten years.
"Quick, cover the general and leave!" Deputy General Li Yan quickly commanded the surrounding soldiers to help General Shen up and flee to the rear.
Along the way, the enemy blocked his way, but fortunately the soldiers protected him and he was able to break out of the siege. However, the wounds on his body could not delay him any longer.
"General, General, how are you?" The personal soldiers around him helped him escape while constantly calling out to General Shen, fearing that he would faint, which would make the journey ahead even more difficult.
General Shen knew very well that he would not be able to complete his mission this time. He did not know what kind of anger he would receive when he returned to the imperial city. He had once been glorious and had never lost a battle. He fought on the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and made numerous military exploits. Thinking back to the time, even when he was standing in the court, he was a hero who was full of vigor and respected by others.
But is all this going to end like this? I have been in the military for half my life, and in the end I was killed in this battle. I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this!!!
General Shen thought of his past glory and his past. In the light of his past splendor, he felt so miserable now.
The more brave you were in the past, the more miserable you are now.
It was true that I was too careless this time, but what else could I do? Everything had already been decided, and I was just a character in the play. I was afraid that the defeat had already been reported to the court.
General Shen protected his chest with his right hand and put his left hand on this personal soldier, with half of his body leaning on him. His face was pale, and the blood on his lips seemed to have all been drained away along the feather arrow in his chest.
He forced his eyes open. After running all the way to escape, his whole body became more and more exhausted as the blood was lost. His eyelids could no longer support themselves and kept twitching up and down. With his eyes half open and half closed, he could only hear the shouts of his bodyguards, which became louder and louder.
General Shen was unwilling to accept this. He used to be a great general who could make the enemy tremble in fear, but why did he end up like this
To him, defeat was like a fatal arrow, more painful than an arrow piercing his chest.
"General, be patient, the doctor will be here soon!" This was the last call he heard, and then he lost consciousness.
The entire border was covered in blood in the chaos of war. Ye Feng hid his body in the soldier's armor and stood guard beside General Shen. Since he came to the border, he has transformed himself into a soldier and has been secretly protecting General Shen. If there hadn't been so many people entangled with him today, General Shen wouldn't have been in this situation.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little guilty. How should he explain this to the virtuous concubine? Before leaving, he promised Shen Qingwan to help protect General Shen, but now he is intact, but General Shen is lying on the bed unconscious, and it is not known whether his life is in danger.
With a sigh, Ye Feng could only pray that General Shen could escape from danger as soon as possible.
The news of the great defeat in the border battle had spread like wildfire, and messengers were sent across 800 miles to deliver the message day and night, and soon the news reached the court.
General Shen was defeated, and the reputation of the God of War collapsed overnight. Some were happy while others were worried.
