Qin Zhen's body disappeared, so Qin Yuan ordered people to search in the imperial city.Early the next morning, someone suddenly found a dark room in Concubine Shu's apse, and Qin Zhen's body was inside.

In addition to Qin Zhen's body, there is another living person...

Seeing this, the foreman's guard hurriedly reported to the emperor.Qin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that they had found Qin Zhen's body, and he ordered someone to bring the person he found from Concubine Shu to his palace for questioning in person.

Concubine Shu quickly stopped when she saw someone in her palace who wanted to take away the person locked in her room: "Bold! What do you want to do with the people around me?"

The chief guard replied: "Going back to the imperial concubine, this is His Majesty's will, and I dare not disobey it."

That person was a young girl, her body was tied up with ropes, and a white cloth scarf was tied around her mouth.

Concubine Shu angrily scolded him: "She is a maid who made a mistake by this palace, and this palace will deal with her now."

But at this moment, there was a loud noise from outside, and a man in official uniform came in at this moment, and he bowed to Concubine Shu: "My lady, do you remember your humble position?"

After hearing the voice, Concubine Shu turned to look at that person, and was suddenly taken aback when she saw that person.

It was Chang Jianzhi, the assistant leader of Dali Temple, who came to her palace.

After seeing him, Concubine Shu suddenly showed a terrified expression: "You... Presumptuous! You are a foreign minister, how dare you trespass into the harem so easily? Come and drag him to the Ministry of Punishment!"

At this time, the guards around her did not dare to move.Seeing this, Concubine Shu shouted loudly: "Are you all deaf? I told you to drag him to the Ministry of Punishment!"

Chang Jianzhi explained at this moment: "Imperial concubine, I am humbled to serve Your Majesty's order to take away the woman who is with His Highness Eighth's body in the empress's dark room, and please obey the holy will!"

When Concubine Shu heard his words, she still couldn't believe it: "You said that you came to take people away under His Majesty's order, so what about His Majesty's warrant?"

The way of constant remonstrance: "Your Majesty gives oral instructions to humble officials, and please let the imperial concubine let me go."

Concubine Shu said: "It is a capital offense for her to hide my son's body. I just need to deal with her myself. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about this lowly slave anymore."

Chang Jianzhi frowned, walked to the side of the girl, and quickly removed the cloth strip from the girl's mouth, the girl cried at this moment: "Brother, save me!"

Chang Jianzhi turned his head to look at Concubine Shu at this moment, and he said: "Your Majesty has his own judgment on what the truth is, so please come along with the humble concubine."

Concubine Shu suddenly seemed to lose her strength and almost sat on the ground. At this moment, several palace maids beside her supported her: "Your Majesty!"

***

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair above the high hall at the moment, and he looked at the people below: "Concubine Shu, Zhen'er's body has been found, but you have to explain to me who she is."

At this moment, Chang Biyun knelt on the ground and cried out hastily: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please be the master of your courtier's daughter. Concubine Shu Gui used her courtier's daughter to coerce her elder brother to frame her brother when he was hunting in the East."

After hearing what she said, Concubine Shu's face suddenly turned pale, she glared at Chang Biyun and scolded angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

After finishing speaking, she quickly turned to look at Qin Yuan: "Your Majesty, she slandered the concubine, and the concubine never murdered the prince!"

When Qin Yuan heard this, he looked at Chang Jianzhi.

Chang Jianzhi knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, the person who called out for injustice is the little sister of a lowly position. The little sister has met with many officials and ladies in the court. They can naturally prove that what the little sister said is true. "

Chang Biyun continued: "Your Majesty! The minister has been imprisoned by the imperial concubine since the winter hunting, and she still wants to use the minister to threaten my brother and continue to murder His Highness the Crown Prince."

Concubine Shu was crying at the moment and argued: "Your Majesty, there are really no concubines! The concubine is now a concubine, why does the concubine want to harm His Highness the Crown Prince? She slandered the concubine with all kinds of lies, begging His Majesty to return the concubine to her innocence!" "

After hearing her illogical argument, Qin Yuan showed a look of disgust on his face, he continued to point to Chang Biyun and said: "You——go on, tell me everything you know. .”

Chang Biyun said: "Yes, my servant obeys the order!" After she finished speaking, she looked up at Concubine Shu and accused her, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine sent someone to take the servant into the palace that day, and used the servant to blackmail brother Murdered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Later, the Crown Prince became seriously ill, so she found an opportunity to win over the officials of the court and conspired to recommend the Seventh Highness to become the Crown Prince after the Crown Prince passed away."

After Concubine Shu heard what she said, her face suddenly turned livid. When she was about to say something, Qin Yuan stared at her and said, "Concubine Shu, wait until she finishes talking before you talk about yourself."

After seeing Qin Yuan's expression, Concubine Shu knelt beside her in fear.

Chang Biyun continued: "But the imperial concubine's plan failed, and His Highness the Crown Prince is not dead. So she conceived a poisonous plan in her heart. She personally sprinkled poison on the wounds of His Highness Eighth, and then used His Highness Eighth to frame His Highness the Crown Prince. Then let His Royal Highness Seventh become the crown prince naturally."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she looked at her furiously: "You are talking nonsense!"

After finishing speaking, her bloodshot eyes suddenly turned to Qin Yuan, and she pointed to herself and cried, "Your Majesty, Zhen'er is the concubine's own son! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, how could the concubine be so ridiculous because of this?" She killed her own son for the same reason, and she slandered the concubine, the concubine is really wronged!"

Chang Jianzhi added fire to the side at this moment, he said: "Your Majesty, the little sister of the humble official has indeed been missing for a long time, if I hadn't seen her in the imperial concubine's hall today, I am afraid that the humble official would have thought that the young lady is no longer in this world Yes. On the day of the winter hunting, there was indeed a person who secretly put a letter threatening the younger sister into the tent of the humble officer. At that time, the inferior officer committed a big mistake in order to save the younger sister. Fortunately, His Royal Highness is now fine. Otherwise, even if you die a hundred times in a humble position, it will not be enough!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty knows that death is inevitable, and I ask your majesty to give me the crime. This matter is caused by my little sister, and I ask your majesty to spare the humble man for the merits of the Chang family's battles abroad." Little sister and family members, I am willing to accept all responsibilities!"

After Chang Jianzhi finished speaking, Qin Yuan suddenly looked at Concubine Shu who was kneeling beside him, and he suddenly said, "Concubine Shu, do you have anything to defend yourself?"

Concubine Shu was trembling all over at the moment, her face was full of the appearance of her evil deeds being exposed.But even so, she still quibbled: "Your Majesty, they have joined forces to slander the concubines, and there are really no concubines!"

But at this moment, a person suddenly came in from outside: "Really? But I heard that the noble concubine just called Chang Zuoling's younger sister a 'bad slave', and that Chang Zuoling's younger sister was found in your palace. How do you explain this?"

As soon as the words fell, a palace official rushed in from behind: "My lord, your majesty has not summoned you yet, so you can't enter the palace without authorization!"

Xianglu made a big gift to Qin Yuan at this moment, and he continued: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being reckless. I was really puzzled when I heard what the concubine said. The body of the eighth prince disappeared yesterday. The concubine did not search in the palace, but insisted that it was the prince. Your Highness did it, don't you think it's too strange?"

After hearing what he said, Concubine Shu looked back at him: "Why does King Nanling want to slander me?"

Xianglu looked at Qin Yuan at this moment: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. If Your Majesty still has doubts, you can send someone to investigate. Maybe you can find other things from the imperial concubine."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she simply didn't do anything. She stood up and cried at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, Zhen'er is the concubine's own son. Both An'er and Zhen'er are the concubine's sons. Meat, how could the concubine kill her own son for such a ridiculous reason? Since His Majesty does not believe in the concubine, the concubine can only prove her innocence by death!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Shu slammed into the red lacquered pillar in the main hall.At this time, Chang Jianzhi who was standing beside saw this scene and rushed up to stop Concubine Shu: "Does the empress want to commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Seeing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Come here, the noble concubine is insane, take the noble concubine to her palace, and don't allow her to come out again! Also, the death of the eighth highness, and the assassination of the winter hunting prince, go and take care of me." Check! No disclosure is allowed, let alone a single person, especially the palace servants of Qingluan Palace, everyone will be interrogated!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Qin Yuan's words, Concubine Shu suddenly fainted in front of the hall.

***

Night fell and another day passed.Qin Xuechuan was sitting in the main hall of the East Palace at this moment, resting with one hand on his forehead.

Now he looks so relaxed, and he doesn't seem to worry about his grounding at all.

But at this moment, someone from outside suddenly came in and preached: "His Royal Highness, the prince next to His Majesty is here."

Qin Xuechuan nodded after hearing this: "Well, pass him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Wang Ping came in with a dust whisk in his left hand. He saluted Qin Xuechuan, and then said: "His Royal Highness, the old servant passed on His Majesty's oral order. Your restraint has been lifted. Your Majesty said that you He will give you justice for all the grievances you have suffered."

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at him: "Thank you, father-in-law, for running this trip, but I am not feeling well now, so I can't go back with father-in-law to meet emperor father."

Hearing this, Wang Ping said hastily: "Your Highness said that, but you are a shameful old slave. Your Majesty knows that His Highness is tired, so you don't need to worry about everything. His Majesty will naturally take care of everything for His Highness."

Qin Xuechuan laughed when he heard him talking like this: "I know that my father will definitely clear my name, well, you can go."

"Yes, the old slave will leave!" After speaking, Wang Ping withdrew.
