Seeing Su Yi bite his tongue and commit suicide, Cangwu Jinxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Cangwu Lingshuang and said: "Mother, Su Yi is dead, you see ......"

But I heard the Prime Minister of Beiyuan say: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the life of the prince of my dignified Beiyuan Kingdom is not as valuable as a palace maid?" If His Majesty wants to use the death of this palace maid to settle the matter, then our mission will definitely not agree, we as courtiers cannot put our master in a dangerous place, we can only leave quickly, and hope for the empress's permission. ”

The empress frowned, this prime minister was full of threats between the lines, she thought for a long time before she said: "Jinxiu, you said that you poisoned the palace maid, you don't know, can anyone testify?" ”

"I—I don't know, but the Mother, I really haven't done it, you believe me, I really haven't done it. How could I harm the prince of Beiyuan, I still wait to rely on him......" Cangwu Jinxiu was speechless, and in a hurry, he almost said what he wanted to make a name for.

Seeing that the empress seemed to have a sense of punishment, Shen He also hurriedly stepped forward to intercede for Cangwu Jinxiu.

"The person who poisoned her was her personal palace maid, but you said that she had nothing to do with this matter, but I was the first to disbelieve it." Shen Chen, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke: "But what you said makes sense, the eldest princess is simple-minded, and it is indeed unlikely that she will plan these things by herself, behind this, I am afraid that there is also a mastermind behind the scenes that she trusts very much." ”

"Shenchen, don't spew blood." Shen He couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw the empress looking at him thoughtfully.

"I didn't say anything about you, what are you anxious about." Shen Chen sneered and bowed his head to the empress: "Your Majesty, although I don't know if this matter was done by the eldest princess, but the people around her were always taught by her, this time this kind of thing was done, although the person who poisoned him should be punished, but the eldest princess should also bear a certain amount of responsibility, the so-called 'Son of Heaven broke the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime', if you don't do this, it may be difficult to block the mouth of the world." ”

Cangwu Jinxiu was so hateful that she almost cried, these words were clearly said by Shen He to Cangwu Jingyuan on the night of the night attack.

"If this incident affects the diplomatic relations between Cangwu and Beiyuan, and the people are miserable in the end, it will make everyone in the world feel cold."

Shen Chen's words were reasonable, and the empress saw that the prince of Beiyuan had no intention of being private, so she had to grit her teeth: "Your king's words are very reasonable, the eldest princess is the head of the mission, but she has made mistakes one after another, this is the first layer of crime, as a princess, but she did not teach the palace maids around her, this is the second layer of crime, several crimes are punished, come on, take the princess down, deduct a year's money, and be confined for a month." ”

"It's been like this and I've only been confined for a month, is it true that I poisoned this prince to death one day, so I have to be severely punished?" The prince of the northern plains is not satisfied with this decision at all, as a prince, but he has been repeatedly hacked in foreign countries, do you look down on him, or look down on them in the northern plains?

"Then add another fifty rods."

Cangwu Jinxiu didn't expect that the empress would really punish her for suffering from flesh and skin, so she cried in a panic, and scolded her with a cane of fifty, if she hit her harder, she would die!

But the empress was unmoved, just watched the cangwu splendid being taken down.

Cangwu Lingshuang looked at the prince of Beiyuan with calm eyes and said: "The prince is frightened, rest early, I will give you an explanation as soon as possible about the assassin and poisoning." ”

"Then there is Empress Law." Prince Kitahara bowed his head slightly, and then walked into the room.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to punish Jinxiu with fifty rods?" Shen He eagerly followed the empress's side, "She is your eldest daughter, how can you be willing to ......?"

"Shen He, if it weren't for General Shen's face today, do you think I would only punish her with fifty rods?" The empress interrupted Shen He's words: "I turn a blind eye to many things, but that doesn't mean that I don't know, if someone wants to use this to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and play with me and the palm, then the consequences are not something he can afford." You're a smart man, you should know what I mean! ”

After listening to the empress's words, Shen He didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to shut up.

"She can put her fourth daughter in prison, and naturally she can also punish her eldest daughter."

It wasn't until the empress walked away that Shen Chen walked up from behind slowly, and said to Shen He with a smile: "She is an empress first, and then a mother, you don't understand such a simple thing?" ”

Shen He clenched his fists and didn't speak, Shen Chen took two steps, turned around again, and gave him a advice: "Also, feng shui takes turns, and the next time you want to harm others, you have to think about whether you will fall into the hands of others." ”

"Shen, Chen!" Shen He looked at his back and viciously squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

But said that the empress personally went to supervise Cangwu Jinxiu's cane punishment, to be honest, she also had the intention to teach her a lesson today, because Cangwu Jinxiu is the eldest daughter, she actually has high hopes for her, how do you know that Cangwu Jinxiu is the eldest daughter but does not play a role model for the eldest sister.

She had long heard that Cangwu Jinxiu acted arrogantly on weekdays, but she was reluctant to make a heavy hand, and secondly, she had to take care of the Shen family, so she was not restrained for a long time, and the most severe punishment was only confinement, but today's matter was not for her to tolerate her.

Cangwu Jinxiu was pressed on the torture bed, because it was a woman, and there was no pants, because the empress personally supervised, the person in charge of the staff was naturally not slack, although there was room in the hand, but the stick fell, it was still beaten, and Cangwu Jinxiu, who had never suffered from flesh and skin, screamed and scolded angrily.

However, later, the number of sticks beaten increased, and the voice of Cangwu Jinxiu's shouting became weaker.

She thought that it was just for show, and the mother would let herself go, but she didn't expect that the mother not only did not allow those people to release water, but also counted the sticks by herself, and she didn't know how many hits she had in the end, and Cangwu Jinxiu fainted.

Looking at the beaten and dying Cangwu Jinxiu, the empress said in a deep voice: "Take her down, hire a doctor for her, and let her leave the palace for half a step without my instructions." ”

For some reason, looking at the cangwu splendid beauty that was so painful that she fainted, the empress would suddenly think of the fourth daughter who was still in prison by her.

Not long after this incident, another good news also came, after Bai Qian's investigation, the person who attacked at night was quickly caught, and the empress personally interrogated.

The man who attacked at night seemed to be a man of the rivers and lakes, and at first he was hard-mouthed, and after receiving some criminal laws, he told everything that had happened, but the result was something the empress did not expect.

The man pointed out that he had accepted the eldest princess's gold and worked for her, but in fact, the real target of the attack that night was not the prince of Kitahara, but to create a little chaos, so as to put all the blame on the fourth princess.

When asked why he did this, the man said with certainty that the eldest princess had sued him that he and the fourth princess had a deep grudge and could no longer tolerate her, and only wanted to use a scheme to get rid of her.

Shen He was very excited when he heard this, and scolded angrily: "Where did Diao Min come from, he actually dared to talk nonsense!" As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to draw the guard's sword to kill this person, but was restrained by Shen Chen.

"Is it nonsense, I will investigate clearly, Shen He, don't forget that this is in the palace." The Empress waved her hand and asked the assassin to be thrown into the prison, and said, "Now that the truth has been revealed, and it means that Jing Kite is innocent, let her go now." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Chen glanced at Shen He coldly, shook off the hand that was holding him, and hurried to the prison.

When he arrived in prison, Shen Chen thought that he would see a thin wolf bèi unbearable Cangwu Jingkite, but he didn't expect that not only did she not lose half a penny, but her face was a lot rounder, and her complexion was even more white and red.

Looking at Bai Qian, who was sitting outside the prison and playing against Jing Kite, Shen Chen was relieved. sighed that Bai Qian's girl was so careful that she even took care of her in prison.

Shen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked closer.

Seeing that the figure coming was Shen Chen, a flash of joy flashed in the corner of Cangwu Jingyu's eyes and said, "Guijun, why are you here?" The Empress has lifted your grounding? ”

Bai Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he also got up and blessed Shen Chen.

Shen Chen looked at the two of them with interest, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "It seems that I came at the wrong time." ”

Bai Qian's face turned red, thinking that your monarch should have something to say to Cangwu Jingyuan, so he wanted to retreat.

Seeing this, Shen Chen raised his hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "No need to go, I am here to tell you good news, the assassin of the night attack has been caught, proving that Jing Kite is innocent, and the empress ordered Jing Kite to be released now." ”

Shen Chen told them everything, including the poisoning of plain clothes, and the empress punishing Cangwu Jinxiu with a cane.

Cangwu Jingyi was very surprised that the empress really beat Cangwu Jinxiu, and she thought that except for the crime of rebellion, no matter what Cangwu Jinxiu did, she would not be severely punished, but she was not thinking about it now.

"It is unlikely that the poison will be under the clothes of Cangwu Jinxiu or Shen Hepai, after all, if you let your personal maid do this kind of thing, if you are not careful, you may lose everything."

"That's not necessarily," Shen Chen shook his head, "No matter how you say this kind of thing, you have to find a henchman to do it, so you can rest assured." ”

"It is not ruled out that Shen He and Cangwu Jinxiu are doing the opposite." Bai Qian also expressed his opinion: "Usually we think that the mastermind behind the scenes will not be stupid enough to let the person who serves him do this kind of thing, after all, once the East Window incident happens, he will also be implicated." But perhaps they take advantage of other people's taken for granted ideas to make themselves suspicious, but also to make themselves believed. ”

"It's also a possibility." Shen Chen opened the cell door as he spoke, and handed a set of clean dresses to Cangwu Jingyu: "What are you doing here, hurry up and change out, is it possible that you are still reluctant, and you plan to make a 'visit here' here before leaving?" ”

"Makes sense, why didn't I think of it?" Cangwu Jingkite clapped her hands and pretended to make a mark, but was stopped by Bai Qian.

Bai Qian looked at Jing Yuan and smiled helplessly: "Don't play treasure, you better change your clothes quickly, you haven't bathed for a few days, and the smell on your body is like an aged sour radish." ”
