After Shen Ci returned to the palace to clean up and bandage the wound, he went straight into the dungeon.

Xu Qinghan took down the quilts from the car and stuffed them into Shen Che's arms, and entrusted him in a rambling manner, "Go and put them on for your brother. Let your brother live here for His Majesty's sake, and you need to worry about it before your brother gets away with it." I’ve taken care of him, I’ll find out as soon as possible and return him to his innocence. He can come here for whatever he wants for food and clothing, and if he’s in trouble, tell me, don’t let your brother be wronged inside, do you understand?”

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Shen Che hugged the quilt and bowed, "Thank you on my brother's behalf."

Xu Qinghan sighed and rubbed Shen Che's hair, "I really don't know how you managed to move Wei Jun, this time it's thanks to you."

Shen Che pursed his lips shyly and smiled. After watching Xu Qinghan leave, he ran into the dungeon with the quilt in his arms and made a soft floor. Shen Ci lay comfortably on it, sucking the bird's nest while taking a glance The prison door was wide open, and he said in a vague way, "This dungeon is not a new suspect, it's like raising an ancestor."

Xu Qinghan visited Shen Ci in person in the dungeon the next evening, Shen Ci closed his eyes and lay down on the quilt to rest, while Shen Che knelt in the corner with his head straight and upright facing the wall.He bent over and stepped in from the wide open cell door, sat beside Shen Ci and put the back of his hand against his forehead, "Are you having a fever, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's just a high fever after the injury, don't worry about it." Shen Ci waved his hand indifferently.

Shen Che moved his knees to pay homage to Xu Qinghan, "This subordinate has seen the prince." He didn't drink a drop of water all day, and after saluting in a dry voice, he turned around and continued to kneel facing the wall.

"Did Shen Che make any mistakes?" Xu Qinghan asked.

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Brat, you dare not even listen to my words, it really gives him a good look!"

"He did a lot to save you, so let's just balance the merits and demerits?" Xu Qinghan persuaded.

Shen Ci choked, "How about I kowtow to Second Young Master Shen to thank him for saving his life?"

"Big brother offended Che'er, Che'er didn't dare to take credit, and was willing to be punished." Shen Che said with a low eyebrow, "Thank you for your kindness, it's my subordinate who disrespected my brother, and this subordinate should be punished."

Xu Qinghan had a particularly good impression of Shen Che. He had always been very obedient and obedient, and he was definitely not a troublemaker. Seeing him being punished by Shen Ci, he always felt that Shen Ci had scolded him harshly.Seeing that things were not going to turn around, Xu Qinghan sighed helplessly and said, "Why are you so angry, calm down quickly, you still have injuries."

"It's not this little bastard who deliberately wants to piss me off!" Shen Ci pointed at Shen Che and gritted his teeth and scolded, "I'm really worried about you, can you go?"

"Brother, if you want to beat him, hit him and punish him. Che'er, don't leave your brother. Che'er won't go anywhere, even if you beat him to death!" Shen Che replied extremely forcefully, changing from his usual gentle attitude.

Shen Ci clenched his fist and slapped the ground, then smiled angrily and said to Xu Qinghan, "Look, I wronged him? He asked for it himself!"

"Okay, okay, you brothers, don't be angry, deal with the matter first and then talk about other things." Xu Qinghan gave a step down, "Shen Che, go and boil some medicine for your brother to reduce fever."

"Yes." Shen Che replied, but Shen Ci didn't say anything, he knelt down and didn't dare to move.

Shen Ci scolded him, "My lord has told you not to get out of here? If I were the lord, I would cut off the hollow ball on your neck!"

It was only then that Shen Che got up with difficulty, his legs were numb from kneeling, and it took him a while to walk while holding on to the wall, and of course he was scolded by Shen Ci again.

Standing in front of Shen Ci with downcast eyes, Shen Che bowed and said sincerely, "Brother calm down, it's Che'er's fault. You can punish Che'er in any way you want, just take care of yourself."

"Go, go, get out!" Shen Ci repeatedly urged Shen Che to be driven away, and he said to Xu Qinghan with his forehead hurting, "Stupid child who doesn't like oil and salt, what's the use of following me? I can't protect myself, how can I protect myself?" he?"

Xu Qinghan said, "In the past three years, Shen Che has been thinking about you day and night. You drove him away as soon as you came back. Can he obey?"

"I'm not at ease." Shen Ci buried his face in his hands and said sullenly, "It's impossible for you to surround me and Shen Che all day long. It's easy for someone with a heart to find a reason to hurt us. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little bit, but if he I'm afraid I'll go crazy if something happens."

"A Ci, there are not so many bad people, so don't be so discouraged. Brother Huang just cares about the chaos, and it won't happen in the future." Xu Qinghan comforted, "Tomorrow I will personally try this case, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready, you Rest assured."

The case of Miss Nine was not tried with much fanfare. Regardless of whether it is true or not, once this matter gets out, it will definitely ruin Miss Nine's reputation. No one dared to marry.

The venue for the trial was set to be in Xu Qinghan's study room. Xu Qinghan sat at the head seat, the princess Wei Bingqing and Ninth Miss Wei Bingmu sat on his left side, except for Wei Jun and Wei Bingmu's two little maids who stood at the bottom, all involved personnel In addition, Linghu, as the emperor's ear, also participated in it, standing on the other side with his eyebrows lowered.

Everyone was ready, and Shen Che quickly escorted Shen Ci out of the court for interrogation—it was said that he was escorted, but he was actually helped in with his arms around his waist.

Shen Ci was dressed neatly, although it was only a standard black suit, but it was very freshly washed, and it was almost the same as usual except that his face was slightly pale.His hands and feet were chained, showing that he was wearing a sinful body before proving his innocence.

Shen Che clasped his fists at Xu Qinghan, "My lord, the criminal..." He bit his lips, feeling that it was hard to say, his brother was definitely wronged, how could he be a criminal?

Shen Ci didn't make things difficult for Shen Che, he knelt down with the iron chains on his wrists and pulled up his robes, touching his foreheads to the ground and bowed one by one, "Shen Ci, I pay my respects to the lord, to the empress, to Miss Nine, to the leader, Lord Linghu .”

Wei Bingmu hadn't seen Shen Ci for several days. He was a little excited to meet him for the first time, so he sat up straight and called him happily, "Big Fox!" From the address to the tone, it was full of intimacy between acquaintances.Xu Qinghan glanced at Shen Ci unhappily, while Wei Bingqing frowned and scolded her in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Qinghan cleared his throat and said, "Shen Ci, did you do anything wrong with Bingmu?"

"Returning to the prince, the subordinates will never dare to tarnish Miss Jiu's innocence."

Wei Bingmu interjected angrily, "How dare you act, you obviously..." Her white face was flushed with two blushes, and she closed her eyes and said, "You obviously... all that Miss Ben!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.Shen Ci was also taken aback, and quickly said, "Miss Nine, be careful!"

"You have done everything, what is there that you dare not admit? Could it be that you don't want to be responsible to Miss Ben?" Wei Bingmu stood up, crossed his hips and stared at Shen Ci.This bad fox, who clearly hugged him, still doesn't want to admit it!

"Silence!" Xu Qinghan scolded, picked up the cup and drank two big gulps of tea, the hand that was holding the cup was shaking with anger, he managed to calm down and asked the two maids, "How is your miss and Shen Ci getting along? contradiction?"

One of the maids knelt down and replied, "My lord, the lady and Shen Ci have a very good relationship. The two of them play together every day. The lady likes Shen Ci very much, and there has been no unhappiness."

Shen Ci argued, "My lord Mingjian, it is my responsibility to have a harmonious relationship with Miss Jiu, and there is nothing beyond the rules!"

Another maid said, "My Miss Yuexin has been delayed by half a month."

Shen Ci said rather weakly, "Then let your lady drink more hot water, what does it matter to me?"

Shen Che suddenly became worried.He originally thought that a fair and open trial and face-to-face confrontation would soon restore his brother's innocence, but he didn't expect that things were getting worse and worse. All signs and Miss Nine's confessions were not good for his brother.Shen Che looked at Xu Qinghan worriedly, his face was indeed gloomy, but luckily he looked calm.

Xu Qinghan said, "There are different opinions, and there is no basis for what they say. Please Wangfei take Bingmu to the next door. Aunt Mei Ruo will wait inside and let her see if there is anything wrong with Bingmu."

Wei Bingqing bowed and gave a slight blessing, and took Wei Bingmu's hand out of the study.

Shen Che put his heart down a little bit, the facts speak louder than words, his brother will not do anything wrong with Miss Jiu, just verify that Miss Jiu is not broken.

The study room fell silent for a moment, and everyone was waiting for the result.Shen Ci's injury was not healed, and the others didn't feel anything when they were sitting or standing. He was the only one kneeling, and his waist was sore and his legs ached.The room was too quiet, he was too embarrassed to be lazy, the iron chain on the chain would rattle, so he had to grit his teeth and hope that Wei Bingqing and sisters would come back quickly.

After about a cup of tea, Wei Bingqing, Wei Bingmu and Aunt Mei Ruo entered the study together. Wei Bingqing strode forward, slapped Shen Ci and shouted hysterically, "Brother, you It's just a beast!!!"

Wei Bingqing is gentle and polite, smiles without showing his teeth, speaks softly, and has always been a model of a lady. This abnormality is really unprecedented. It is not difficult to guess what happened, and Shen Che's heart sank suddenly.

Xu Qinghan stared at Mei Ruo, determined to confirm, "Aunt Mei Ruo, Bingmu him..."

Mei Ruo is about fifty years old, with a simple bun and plain clothes.She is an old mother in the palace. She entered the palace at the age of 14 and has been serving the queen mother since she was a concubine. It has been more than forty years. She has been stable and famous for so many years.She sighed Fuli, "My lord, Miss Wei Jiu has indeed fallen into the limelight. It's a pity that such a good girl has not been out of the cabinet...hey!"

"How is it possible!" Shen Ci blurted out in surprise, "I don't know if I've done it or not? I definitely haven't!"

"What do you mean? You ruined my sister's innocence, and you still want to slander her for being undisciplined and shirk responsibility?" Wei Bingqing argued hard, pinching his slender fingers on the skirt until he turned pale, "Little sister can't get out of the door!" The two doors don't step forward, apart from being at home, you have come to the palace to visit my sister!"

"But..." Before Shen Ci could say a word, he was hit back by a teacup. The teacup hit his brow bone impartially. The sudden pain made him startled for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that it was Xu Qinghan who threw it.
