Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Not long after, Eunuch Luo came in from outside. He felt a little strange when he saw so many people standing in the hall.

However, he did not dare to ask more questions and just told everyone what he wanted to report.

"Your Majesty, tonight, Princess Shen was found hanging in the inner cell, suspected to be suicide."

"What?" The emperor had never expected that he was going to report this matter. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Has the person been rescued?"

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the person is no longer seriously injured." Eunuch Luo reported immediately.

"That's good. He hasn't confessed to murdering the Queen Mother yet. One cannot die in prison for no reason. I'm afraid he is worried about bringing trouble to his family, so he wants to commit suicide out of fear of punishment."

The emperor snorted coldly.

Whether or not her family will be implicated is not up to her.

Eunuch Luo hesitated for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be suicide out of fear of punishment. Princess Shen has woken up and said that she lost consciousness after dinner. Someone wanted to hang her in the cell to make it look like she was hanged."

"What? Is this serious?" The emperor slammed the table and stared at him.

"What the princess said was correct. In addition, the guards on patrol that night also discovered a suspicious person. After arresting the person, they entered the cell to check and found the princess hanging on the railing. They rushed to rescue her. Fortunately, the rescue was done properly and the princess is no longer seriously injured."

What does this mean? So many things happened in Yin and Yang today. First, the Queen Mother was found to have poisoned her medicine, and even Shen Mengyao, the "murderer", was murdered tonight. There seemed to be a hidden connection between these things.

"Interrogate these two men tonight. Use all possible torture to make them spit out what they have in their mouths."

Eunuch Luo nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please leave!"

There were too many things to do and his mind was in a mess. After Eunuch Luo and Lord Yu left one after another, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Debao quietly changed the hot tea and wanted to leave, but he never expected that the emperor suddenly called him.

"Debao, what do you think about this matter?"

Debao felt like he was on edge and was sweating profusely. He knew that if he gave a bad answer, it would arouse the emperor's suspicion.

He quickly knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly but he tried his best to remain calm.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It has happened repeatedly. Obviously, there are complex forces behind it. What happened tonight may seem unrelated, but in fact, there may be a hidden mystery. I am stupid and dare not speak rashly, but I think the most urgent task is to thoroughly investigate and find out the mastermind behind it, so that the harem can be peaceful again."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep, as if he was examining every subtle expression of Debao: "You are right, but what I want to know more is, do you have any suspicions in your mind, or do you think this matter may be related to someone?"

Debao was startled. This question was even more difficult to answer. He knew very well that in the palace, the slightest mistake would lead to eternal damnation, so he answered more cautiously.

"Your Majesty, as an eunuch, although I am in the palace, I know very little about the affairs of the court, and I dare not speculate about the ministers in the court or the concubines in the harem."

The emperor nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "That's right. Do you think Shen Mengyao staged this incident herself to get rid of suspicion?"

Debao answered cautiously: "As far as I know, the princess does not have a deep foundation in the palace. I am afraid she is not able to mobilize so many people to help her. Since the title was conferred, communication between people inside and outside the palace is strictly prohibited."

"So you mean that the princess is innocent in this matter?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.

Debao was shocked. His answer had been cautious enough.

He quickly replied, "I don't have a close personal relationship with the princess, so I don't know what the princess means. But I thought, the divine doctor Su just came to the palace the day before yesterday to check the queen mother's pulse and said that the queen mother could wake up in three days. The only one who is anxious now is the real murderer, so I thought in this direction."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded in agreement.

"That's what you said."

Debao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis was over.

"Your Majesty, there are only two possibilities. One is that the princess staged the incident herself, and the other is that the real murderer is eager to kill people to silence them. But no matter which one it is, once the two murderers reveal the truth, the truth will be revealed. You haven't had a good rest these days. You should have a good sleep today. After all, the Queen Mother's condition has been resolved, right?"

Hearing this, the emperor nodded.

"That's true!"

Few people can endure the torture in the inner prison, and the place is not very big. Bursts of screams were heard in the interrogation room.

Shen Mengyao couldn't bear to hear it.

Queyue has been taking care of her: "Princess, once things are clear, you may be able to get out soon."

"I hope so." Shen Mengyao coughed lightly.

A night of screaming and a sleepless night.

The next morning, Eunuch Luo took out two petitions.

Seeing him coming out, Shen Mengyao quickly asked politely: "Did you tell me who ordered this?"

Eunuch Luo's attitude towards her has always been impartial, and although he is the supervisor here, he only patrols once a day. Now that he has received the confession, his attitude has become polite.

"We have checked it out. It was said that it was the Shang Gong female official of the Shang Pharmacy who ordered it."

"There must be someone behind this."

"Who said it wasn't? It's just that small minions like them don't know who is behind it. I will present this confession to the emperor and arrest the female official. Maybe we can get to know the truth."

Eunuch Luo answered with a smile and glanced at Queyue: "Yesterday, I deliberately concealed your presence. You'd better not stay here."

"Okay." Queyue nodded.

Anyway, dawn is just around the corner, so she is naturally not in a hurry.

"Princess, please take good care of yourself first. The defense here has been strengthened, so nothing should happen. I will come to see you when I have time."

"Okay." Shen Mengyao nodded.

Eunuch Luo presented the confession to the emperor. Sure enough, the female official was taken to the interrogation room in the early morning. The screams continued to ring out. The prisoners in the cell had hardly any sleep for a whole day and night, and complaints were heard everywhere.

After only about an hour, the female official confessed everything.

Eunuch Luo waved his hand and said, "Come here, write it down on paper."

The female official swallowed her saliva and said weakly, "It's like this. At the beginning, Princess Shen had informed me and gave me a hush money, asking me not to tell the Queen Mother about the abnormality in the medicinal materials. She also said that it was a tonic, but the Queen Mother didn't trust the doctors outside the palace, so she secretly added it to the Queen Mother's medicine."
