Chapter 353: Chapter 344 Your death day is here, even the dog Emperor will be saddened by it~

The Imperial Doctors hurriedly lowered their gaze, not daring to speak.

Shen Chuwei couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, Xiao Jinyu always speaks the blunt truth, I like it.

The Emperor reprimanded in a deep voice, "Yuyu, how presumptuous."

Xiao Jinyu slightly moderated the tone he used when speaking, "Father Emperor, the child within Lady Shen’s womb is your son’s nephew. If Father Emperor does not acknowledge this grandchild, your son still acknowledges his nephew."

The Emperor looked at his son, whose temper was the spitting image of the Empress when she was young—equally hot-headed and stubborn, and just as protective of Lady Shen.

"Yuyu, do you think I do not wish for Lady Shen to be carrying my grandchild? But the fact is not so. Your mother was deceived by Lady Shen, do not be fooled as well," the Emperor said.

"Father Emperor, both Mother Empress and I are adults, capable of discerning right from wrong," Xiao Jinyu retorted.

Xiao Jinyu glared at the Imperial Doctors, grabbed one of their collars, looking as though he was about to throw a punch.

"You old fool, was it you who said that Lady Shen’s child is not my nephew? Who gave you the courage to say that?" he challenged.

If not for the Emperor’s presence, Shen Chuwei would have wanted to cheer for Xiao Jinyu. So cool!

Chun Xi felt somewhat reassured seeing Xiao Jinyu defending their young master. She had been so scared earlier, fearing that the Emperor might punish them without discernment.

"Prince Jinyu, this humble Imperial Doctor..." The old Imperial Doctor dared not speak, already terrified by Xiao Jinyu.

Seeing that the old fool didn’t dare to answer, Xiao Jinyu let go of him and grabbed another one by the collar, "So young yet unable to take a pulse properly? Do you even understand what you’re saying?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinyu exuded an overbearing presence, feeling inwardly proud. If big brother the Crown Prince knew how much I’m defending his wife, he would surely praise me.

Imperial Doctor Feng was too scared to utter a single word.

The Emperor looked at his son, whose boldness only seemed to grow, intimidating others in public now?

"Yuyu, do you want me to have you taken away by force?" the Emperor asked with palpable anger.

Xiao Jinyu heard the anger in the Emperor’s voice, let go of the Imperial Doctor’s collar, and while straightening it out said with a grin, "Scared now? It’s nothing. When the truth comes out, that will be the day your doom arrives."

Imperial Doctor Feng’s face turned deathly pale.

The Emperor, enraged, slammed the low table, causing the teacups on it to shake, "Yuyu, do I need to order someone to take you away?"

Xiao Jinyu again moderated his temper, carefully approaching the Emperor.

He looked at the enraged Emperor with a majestic presence and gently smoothed the Emperor’s qi, saying sincerely, "Father Emperor, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health to get upset."

Shen Chuwei watched the scene in front of her, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

They say you mustn’t touch a tiger’s ears, but Xiao Jinyu dared to soothe an angry tiger, his courage was no small matter!

The Emperor coldly watched his son’s actions, then suddenly remembered his son as a little child, looking as delicate as a little girl.

The Empress would dress him in beautiful dresses, and when he got angry, everyone was afraid of him, except Yuyu, who would climb onto him asking to be held and would soothe his qi, cooing, "Father Emperor, replenish the qi."

Thinking of this, the Emperor’s anger subsided quite a bit.

"Stand up straight, what do you look like?" he said.

"As you command, Father Emperor," Xiao Jinyu immediately stood upright, as if he wasn’t the one who had caused a scene in Fengyi Palace just moments before.

The Emperor, looking at his son’s demeanor said, "This matter, you need not get involved."

How could he not involve himself?

"Regardless, Lady Shen is the Crown Prince’s woman. This matter should wait for the Crown Prince’s return so he can question her thoroughly."

Without waiting for the Emperor to speak, Xiao Jinyu again invoked the Empress’s name.

"Mother Empress is very, very close to Lady Shen. If Father Emperor convicts her without verifying the whole story, Mother Empress will surely be heartbroken when she returns," he said.

The Emperor remembered how in recent days the Empress had been so kind to Lady Shen but so cold to him, her husband. Her heartbroken? I’m the one who’s heartbroken!

I longed for the daughter I lost, am I not sad?

But what about the Empress?

She left me for the White Horse Temple...

The Emperor’s thoughts made him even more angry, yet there was nothing he could do.

Now, seeing how his son was also shielding Lady Shen...

"What Yuyu said is reasonable," he conceded.

With a beaming smile, Xiao Jinyu declared, "So Father Emperor also agrees that what I said is correct. Does that mean we can release Lady Shen now?"

"Release her?" The Emperor glanced at Lady Shen, "With the evidence being conclusive, not carrying out a summary execution is already showing mercy."

Compared to the immediate execution of Lady Chu and the Guard for their illicit affair, indeed, Lady Shen was being shown mercy.

Not fearing death, Xiao Jinyu corrected, "Father Emperor, you are only half right. The current evidence cannot prove Lady Shen’s guilt. By not carrying out a summary execution, it shows Father Emperor’s wisdom and decisiveness."
