Chapter 557: The Matter Is Revealed
"You have no evidence, why do you convict me?" After listening to Shen Zeyuan's list of his crimes, Shen Zecang did not admit his guilt, but also said that Shen Zeyuan had no evidence.
Shen Zeyuan frowned, only feeling that Shen Zecang's wound hurt his anger, but for a person like Shen Zecang who talks nonsense with his eyes open, with Shen Zeyuan's current physical condition, he really doesn't want to dwell on it too much.
"Okay, don't say it anymore, the evidence is all there, whether you admit guilt or not, you won't be let go of your life anymore. โ
Shen Zeyuan closed his eyes, supported his forehead with his hand, and decided to shift the topic from Shen Zecang's body to Fu Lao.
"Elder Fu, do you see anything wrong with these two edicts?" Shen Zeyuan endured the pain in his abdomen and asked Elder Fu forcefully.
"Back to Your Majesty, the two edicts have just been read very carefully by the old minister, and there is indeed not much difference, almost identical. โ
Fu Lao took the two edicts and spoke slowly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Zecang's laughter.
"Hahahaha, what's going on? I can't see it, right? Because this is true!" Shen Zecang was wearing shackles, but it didn't affect his actions at all.
He rushed to Fu Lao's side, trying hard to prove that he was the real emperor, so frightened that Fu Lao hurriedly distanced himself from Shen Zecang, and then glared and replied, "My words are not finished yet." โ
When Shen Zeyuan heard Fu Lao say this, he remembered the way Fu Lao frowned just now, and he understood in his heart that Fu Lao had discovered the problem in the edict.
"Old Fu, please speak. Shen Zeyuan looked at Fu Lao with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal the guards beside him to control Shen Zecang.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Shen Zecang, who was about to move, even though Shen Zecang was held down, his mouth still refused to stop, and he was quibbling.
"Don't dare to admit it, you can give me the throne as soon as possible, at least so that when I ascend the throne, I can leave you a living mouth. โ
Shen Zecang said this, it was already a great disrespect to Shen Zeyuan, but because of Shen Zecang's current state of madness, everyone present felt that Shen Zecang had gone crazy.
"Your Majesty, the minister has discovered the problem with these two edicts. At this time, Fu Lao, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke up, saying that he knew the problem.
Shen Zeyuan hurriedly motioned to Fu Lao to point out the problem, and when Shen Zecang heard Fu Lao say this, his movements were obviously sluggish, but he didn't speak.
"That's right, although these two edicts are almost identical, but this one is ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Fu Lao said as he held up Shen Zecang's fake edict.
"The seal of this edict is problematic, the real edict seal is stamped with cinnabar, and the seal of this fake edict is not cinnabar. โ
Fu Lao carefully observed for a long time, and finally found something strange, although the color of the seal of the fake edict was similar to the color of the real edict, but because it was not the same material, there was a difference.
Shen Zeyuan took the edict and looked at it, and found that sure enough, the color of Shen Zecang's fake edict seal was wrong, and now Shen Zecang's conspiracy was completely exposed.
"What explanation do you have now? Forged the Holy Decree, isn't this evidence?" Shen Zeyuan's tone was angry, and he asked Shen Zecang coldly.
Seeing that things had come to this point, there was really no way to quibble and turn over, Shen Zecang began to get angry.
The moment Fu Lao pointed out the differences between the two edicts, Shen Zecang's psychological defense line collapsed like his plan.
Shen Zecang, who was unwilling, began to scold: "Dog Emperor! You just don't dare to admit it! You have bought all the ministers and pointed the finger at me!"
Shen Zeyuan listened to Shen Zecang's shout, and felt in his heart that it would be a waste of his time if he was serious with him, and Shen Zeyuan's current abdominal wound was painful.
After being injured, Shen Zeyuan could not go to the early dynasty, but because of Shen Zecang's matter, Shen Zeyuan had to endure the pain.
"Hehe, you only ascended the throne because of intrigues and tricks! Don't think I don't know, I know everything!"
Shen Zecang saw that the matter was exposed, and began to talk nonsense again, wishing that his reputation would be left for 10,000 years now, Shen Zeyuan looked at Shen Zecang who was exposed, and felt very bored for some reason.
"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it anymore. Shen Zeyuan coldly dropped a sentence and was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, but Shen Zecang once again refused to let go.
"Don't go, if you go, your heart is weak, Dog Emperor, you don't deserve to be the emperor, it's better to give me the throne as soon as possible!"
Shen Zecang laughed, a "dog emperor", facing his former brother, it was like facing an enemy.
Shen Zeyuan shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and motioned to his guards to escort Shen Zecang down: "I'm tired, escort Shen Zecang back to the dungeon." โ
After speaking, Shen Zeyuan no longer glanced at Shen Zecang, and turned around directly and went back to his bedroom.
On the other side, Song Shuyan was paying attention to the movements in the court all the time, so the fact that Shen Zecang's conspiracy and tricks were exposed reached Song Shuyan's ears as soon as possible.
"Fortunately, thanks to Fu Lao this time, if Fu Lao hadn't seen that Shen Zecang's edict was fake, maybe this matter would have been really difficult to solve. โ
Song Shuyan caressed his chest while comforting himself with himself, for Shen Zecang's matter, Song Shuyan could finally put his mind at ease.
"By the way, what is the difference between those two edicts?" Song Shuyan's curiosity drove her to ask her father-in-law who came to report the situation.
The father-in-law pinched his throat and replied: "It's still Fu Lao who is thoughtful, and after reading it for a long time, he found that there is a problem with the seal of the fake edict, the seal of the real edict is cinnabar, and the fake one is not." โ
After listening to his father-in-law's explanation, Song Shuyan understood a little in his heart, but since this matter has passed, he is no longer too entangled.
When it was time for lunch, Song Shuyan sat beside Shen Zeyuan, and while serving Shen Zeyuan vegetables, he tried to ask: "When does the emperor think it is more appropriate to bring Mu Yan back?"
"Not yet, I always feel that things haven't been completely dealt with yet, so let's wait. Shen Zeyuan pondered for a moment and felt that it was not a good idea to take Shen Muyan back now.
In fact, Song Shuyan also felt so, so after discussion, Song Shuyan said: "In this case, according to the concubine, it is better to wait for the child in the concubine's womb to pass three months, and then take Mu Yan back." โ
Shen Zeyuan nodded and agreed.
