After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

The emperor was silent for a moment, then he said, "Mrs. Shen, I asked you to come here today. I'm sure you have already noticed something. Do you admit your guilt?"

Shen Meizhuang knelt down hurriedly and answered in fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive my stupidity. I don't know what crime I have committed."

The emperor was furious, took a deep breath and said, "Does the matter of Noble Lady Fucha have anything to do with you?"

At this moment, the emperor was looking at Shen Meizhuang in front of him with sharp eyes.

"I have never had any grudge against Noble Lady Fucha. We just had some occasional verbal frictions before, but there was no other conflict. I don't know if Noble Lady Fucha's accident is related to this, but I can guarantee that I have no intention of harming anyone."

The emperor looked at Shen Meizhuang with a complicated expression, and began to test Shen Meizhuang and said:

"Of course I know that you have a kind character and will never do anything that harms the world. However, after all, Noble Lady Fucha died mysteriously in the palace, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated. As a member of the harem, you may know some of the inside story, so I called you here to ask."

Shen Meizhuang lowered her head in thought for a moment, then raised her head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I really know very little about this matter. However, I am willing to fully cooperate with Your Majesty and the palace guards in the investigation to give justice to Noble Lady Fucha. If I can provide any clues or help, I will do my best."

The emperor nodded to show his satisfaction.

He then said, "Very good, Lady Shen."

Then, the emperor took out the crystal clear hairpin and said, "Mrs. Shen, do you recognize this hairpin?"

When Shen Meizhuang saw the crystal clear hairpin in the emperor's hand, she realized that something was wrong. She became a little flustered, but still pretended to be calm on her face.

"Your Majesty, this... this hairpin belongs to me. It was a reward given to me by Your Majesty. I kept it well in my jewelry box. How did Your Majesty get it?" Shen Meizhuang's voice trembled slightly.

The emperor stared at her, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he immediately roared angrily:

"You ask me? You know it clearly in your heart, and you still have the courage to ask me? If so, could it be that this hairpin has grown legs and run into my hands?"

Shen Meizhuang hurriedly shook her head, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Maybe someone with ulterior motives stole my hairpin."

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "This hairpin was found next to Noble Lady Fucha's pillow after her death. In any case, the evidence is now conclusive. Do you have any explanation? I will give you another chance." After saying that, the emperor turned his head and no longer looked at her.

Shen Meizhuang remained silent, not knowing how to explain herself to clear herself of suspicion. She realized that at this moment, no matter what she said would be wrong. The emperor would never believe her. After all, Noble Lady Fucha was dead, a life was lost, and her hairpin appeared beside her pillow.

Shen Meizhuang wondered secretly who wanted to kill her and actually stole her hairpin.

The emperor saw that Shen Meizhuang did not speak again, which meant that she had already pleaded guilty and could not find any excuses. In order to give an explanation for the death of Noble Lady Fucha and to preserve the face of the royal family, the emperor had to make this decision cruelly.

He took a deep breath and gave the order in a cold tone:

"Lady Shen, listen to my order! Lady Shen has behaved badly as a woman, and has been arrogant and rude. She has repeatedly offended the emperor with her words. This is a crime of insubordination and disrespect! Your title of "Hui" is now stripped away, and your position is demoted to "Ding Ying". I hereby sentence Shen Ying Ying to be exiled to the Hanshan Temple in the north to practice Buddhism. Without my summons... you are not allowed to return to the capital! I hope you will sincerely repent in the future."

When Shen Meizhuang heard the emperor's decree, it was as if she was struck by lightning, and her whole body instantly collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief and despair, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

She never expected that the emperor would convict her so decisively based on a hairpin without even conducting a thorough investigation!

Once upon a time, she still had a little expectation and fantasy about the emperor, but at this moment, the little love she had left in her heart had quickly melted away like the remaining snow. Looking at this cold and ruthless man in front of her, Shen Meizhuang felt disheartened.

The emperor turned his back and didn't even look at Shen Meizhuang. He just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible so that everyone in the harem could live in peace and also punish those who were plotting behind the scenes.

"Pack your things and set off this afternoon. Don't worry, this matter will not involve your people, so go with peace of mind."

The day before

Jingren Palace at 1:15 pm

The queen was about to go to bed to rest when Jianqiu hurried into the bedroom to report.

The Queen was informed that Noble Lady Fucha was also frightened by a ghost and had lost her soul. At this moment, Noble Lady Fucha was a little crazy and out of her mind.

The queen sighed. She had originally thought that she could train her into another useful chess piece, but she didn't expect that this noble lady Fucha was so useless. She was really a waste with only beauty.

But the Queen thought about it and always felt that it was a pity not to make good use of Noble Lady Fucha since she was so crazy. It would be better to set up a trap so that this abandoned chess piece could have a final chance of use.

Thinking of this, the Queen called her secret guard, Eunuch Zhou Dong, and told him her plan.

After receiving the order, Director Zhou came to Xianfu Palace in the darkness of the night. He dug a small hole in the window outside Shen Meizhuang's house and gently let in a smoke screen. After making sure that everyone was asleep, Director Zhou nimbly climbed in through the window.

He tiptoed into Shen Meizhuang's bedroom, his eyes swept around and finally fell on the jewelry box.

He opened the box, picked out a unique and crystal clear hairpin at random, and put it in his pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Jay Chou followed the same method and used the same means to sneak into Noble Lady Fucha's palace.

He skillfully knocked out the maids and eunuchs in Noble Lady Fucha's palace without making any sound.

Jay Chou quickly came to Noble Lady Fucha's bedside and quietly dealt with her.

After completing all this, Jay Chou specially placed the crystal clear hairpin next to Noble Lady Fucha's pillow, then left quietly and disappeared into the night.

Broken Yuxuan

When Zhen Huan woke up early in the morning, she received a message from Xiao Yunzi that Noble Lady Fucha had died in a very strange way, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who served her were executed. The Emperor also issued an edict to block all news about Noble Lady Fucha's death, and spread various reports that Noble Lady Fucha had been sent to the cold palace because she was frightened by a ghost and became unconscious, and she was not allowed to step out of the cold palace for the rest of her life.

When Zhen Huan heard the news, she couldn't help but be shocked. She just wanted to scare Noble Lady Fucha into insanity so that she would not bully An Lingrong again, but she didn't intend to kill her.

She was a little scared, and a bad premonition was coming to her mind.

Zhen Huan thought to herself that she should hurry to the Yanx Palace to meet An Lingrong, perhaps An Lingrong might know something.

Zhen Huan hurried to the Yanxi Palace, feeling increasingly depressed along the way.

She secretly prayed that An Lingrong was safe. After arriving at the Yanxi Palace, Zhen Huan saw An Lingrong, who looked haggard. After they exchanged a few pleasantries, Zhen Huan directly asked about the cause of Fu Cha Guiren's death.
