At this time, a palace maid walked up to Queen Lin and whispered softly, "Shen Han's body was found under the bed where His Royal Highness Kang slept. He was already dead. His internal organs were shattered by an extremely strong internal force. He was killed in one blow. It might have been done by a martial arts master."

After hearing this, Queen Lin opened her eyes wide in horror and found it unbelievable.

This matter seems to be really not simple!

It was not as simple as two young girls climbing into the prince's bed, it actually involved murder and hiding a body.

Moreover, these things happened continuously in the palace.

Who is it that is so bold?

He was really brave to plot against the princes and officials in the palace. At the same time, Queen Lin's back was covered with a thin layer of sweat, which was caused by fear.

If he could plot against a prince in the palace without anyone noticing, then what about her as the queen? It would also be a great threat.

If one day, the other party becomes displeased with her as the queen and wants to plot against her, wouldn't that be an easy task?

It’s scary to think about it.

Soon, Shen Tongshu and Duke Song were brought over by the guards.

Shen Tongshu looked at his most proud eldest son, whose body was already completely cold.

His death was extremely miserable. His chest was shattered by internal force, leaving a deep dent. Blood was all over the floor. His face was filled with extremely distorted pain and his eyes were wide open. He must have died with his eyes open!

Moreover, a "王" character was carved on Shen Han's forehead with a knife, and two cuts were made on each cheek to form a "八" character. The characters on the whole face put together read "王八".

Not only did they torture Shen Han to death, leaving him with regrets, but they also humiliated him and made him bear the infamy, letting everyone know that he was a "bastard" and leaving a stigma behind him.

When Shen Tongshu saw his son's body, he rushed over and cried out in pain at the top of his lungs, completely disregarding his image.

In just one month, his wife died, his second son Shen Ao died, his daughter Shen Ling also died, and now even his eldest son Shen Han could not escape the tragic fate.

Almost all the children he and his wife had were killed.

He looked at his eldest son's body with great sorrow and cried inconsolably.

In an instant, he looked several years older.

When Emperor Mingguang saw Shen Tongshu's miserable appearance, he cried bitterly.

I guess I can't say anything in response, so I can only ask Duke Song first.

"Duke Song, why is your maid here? How dare you frame His Royal Highness Prince Kang!"

When Duke Song saw the little fish, he felt a surge of rage rising straight to his head.

He guessed in his heart that this must have a lot to do with her troublesome daughter Song Xi.

He was simply fed up with this ignorant daughter, who was cruel and selfish, acting without regard for the consequences and insisting on having her own way.

It feels like my brain is seriously ill, and it's a very serious illness.

His voice had been ruined and he had been caned twenty times, but he still refused to stop and kept causing trouble.

After returning, he will definitely educate his daughter well and not let her continue to implicate the entire Duke Song's Mansion.

Duke Song walked up to Xiaoyu and quickly struck him in the chest. Xiaoyu struggled on the ground for a few times, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, and finally took his last breath without uttering a single word.

Just like that, he lost his life unwillingly.

The emperor saw that Duke Song was furious and killed the maid with one blow. He looked unhappy and asked, "Duke Song, what do you mean by this? Why did you kill someone without questioning?"

Duke Song suppressed his anger, knelt on the ground with a calm face, and sincerely admitted his fault, "I know I was wrong! This maid was dishonest, and I had been prepared to beat her to death, but I didn't expect her to escape and cause trouble in the palace, defiling the emperor's ears."

"Now that I see her here, let's settle both old and new accounts. I don't want to waste any more time arguing with a little maid, so I'll just kill her!"

"Besides, what's the point of judging a maid climbing into bed? She's just a bunch of people who want to get close to the rich and powerful and covet wealth and fame!"

"I have behaved rashly, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Duke Song said all the good and bad things by himself.

Although Emperor Mingguang was a little annoyed, he thought about what the maid could know and it was nothing important. She was just a small errand boy and it was okay for her to die.

Death can eliminate future troubles and bring peace of mind.

Emperor Mingguang figured it out and had no more nice things to say, let alone punish Duke Song.

Emperor Mingguang waved his hand and didn't want to argue any more.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of a slap attracted everyone's attention.

It also attracted the attention of Emperor Mingguang.

Shen Tongshu was seen standing in front of Shen Jun, his eyes were red and fierce, as if he wanted to eat Shen Jun alive.

Shen Tongshu glared at Shen Jun, "It's all because of you, this unlucky star! Tell me clearly, what happened? Why was Shen Han murdered? And why did he die so miserably? Did you kill my Han'er?"

"It's all because of you. In just one month, members of the Shen family have died tragically one after another, almost to the point of being destroyed. All members of the Shen family who had anything to do with you have not had a good end."

"Tell me the truth quickly! What happened today? What happened? Did you team up with someone else to kill my Han'er? You are such a shameless beast!"

After saying that, he rushed over again and slapped Shen Jun several times in a row, making Shen Jun dizzy, deaf and blind, and blood soon flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Baili Chen and Su Ci, who came in from outside, happened to see this scene.

Su Ci felt extremely relaxed in her heart. The depressed mood caused by Shen Jun's betrayal and frame-up was instantly cleared up, and she felt extremely refreshed.

"Tell me quickly! What's going on? Tell me everything you know clearly! You are not allowed to hide anything in front of the emperor and the queen, otherwise you will be charged with deceiving the emperor, which is something you cannot afford!"

Shen Jun was so frightened when he saw Xiaoyu dying with his eyes open.

She covered her swollen cheeks, sobbed and mumbled incoherently, "I don't know! I really don't know what happened! I fainted! When I woke up, I was in bed with His Royal Highness Prince Kang."

"Then why did you get together with Han'er? You never interact with each other and rarely talk to each other. Now he died at the scene where you were. You said you didn't know the reason. How is this possible?"

"Your words wouldn't fool even a child of a few years old, yet you still dare to quibble? Do you think you can escape the blame if you don't say anything? Do you hope to be severely punished before you confess?"

Shen Jun was so frightened that his face turned pale.

She looked around in horror. The looks of disgust, mockery, or anger made her even more helpless and terrified.

When she met Su Ci's eyes, anger overwhelmed her fear and she blurted out, "It must be Su Ci. She's the one who harmed me!"
