"Why did the second child come over at this time? Could it be that you want to celebrate Zhaohua's birthday? The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Princess Zhaohua, and said with a smile: "It's hard for him to have a heart, let them in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace man turned and retreated.

Princess Zhaohua's face was slightly uncomfortable, I don't know if it was because of a weak heart, or something else, she turned her head sideways to look at her mother, and her hands were clenched into fists in her sleeves.

"Don't panic." The queen comforted her daughter with her eyes, but she was just a prince who was not very favored, and his unpopular fiancée, what was there to be afraid of!

In the entire hall, the only one who was interested in Rong Chen and the others was the emperor.

Not long after the palace people went out, Rong Chen, who was wearing a light green robe, led Shen Nianzhen in.

Shen Nianzhen had a smile on her face, she couldn't see her frustration and anger when she was on the way back to Beijing, she followed behind Rong Chen obediently, and walked forward to greet the emperor and queen in the top position.

"Get up."

The emperor was in high spirits, smiled and told them to get up, and when his eyes fell on Shen Nianzhen, he was suddenly shocked: "This is Shen Chong's daughter?" I originally thought that his daughter would be like him, five big and three coarse, and I always felt ashamed of the second child, but I didn't expect it to be a girl with such a mark! ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, I really dare not take it seriously." Shen Nianzhen said modestly.

The emperor was amazed and sighed again, and suddenly turned his head to look at Rong Chen, and teased: "You, you have to change your lawless nature!" If you're still the same as before, you're not worthy of such a gentle and good-looking girl! ”

"Your Majesty, it's not as good as you say." The queen said sourly on the side: "As the old saying goes, Your Majesty, you just met Miss Shen, how do you know that she is gentle?" ”

"Do you think all the women in the world are like Zhaohua? That's why you're used to her like this! The Emperor burst out laughing.

Zhaohua pouted, wanting to argue something, but before he could speak, Shen Nianzhen on the side preemptively spoke, and said straight to the point: "When the courtiers entered the palace today, there was something they wanted to ask Princess Zhaohua. ”

"Oh? What's up? The queen asked with a cold face.

Shen Nianzhen didn't look at her, but slowly raised his head to look at Zhaohua, and walked in front of her step by step.

Although Shen Nian was really smiling, but for some reason, Zhaohua just felt a sense of oppression coming to his face.

"You...... What do you want to ask? My father and mother are here......"

Before she finished her words, Shen Nianzhen suddenly raised her hand and slapped Princess Zhaohua's left cheek hard!

Soon, a bright red slap mark appeared on Princess Zhaohua's face, and then half of her face quickly swollen.

Shen Nianzhen simply withdrew his hand.

In the main hall, the emperor, the empress, including Rong Chen, everyone was stunned.

Princess Zhaohua felt the hot pain on her face, and after being stunned for a second, she immediately reacted, and immediately raised her arm angrily, aiming at Shen Nianzhen's face and about to hit back: "You actually dare to hit me?" I'll kill you! Kill you! ”

Shen Nianzhen grabbed her hand, stared at her eyes and said without flinching: "Don't you know why I hit you?" The princess of a dignified country, actually did tricks and feet on other people's carriages, harmed people and fell off the cliff, life and death are uncertain, can't a life be exchanged for you a lesson? ”

"Miss Shen, what the hell are you talking about!" The queen was immediately furious, and no one had ever dared to do such a lawless thing in front of her! When has her Zhaohua ever suffered such a loss!

She trembled with anger and shouted loudly, "Someone! Drag this crazy woman out! Palace punishment waits! Dare to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty, it's really against the sky! ”

"Queen Mother, your father hasn't spoken yet, you have to punish her first, do you still have your father in your eyes?"

Rong Chen took a step forward and stopped in front of Shen Nianzhen, his tone was cold.

"You!" The queen's angry jumping feet.

"Alright, don't make any noise yet." The emperor finally spoke, his face no longer had the smile he had when he first saw Shen Nianzhen, and he glanced at Zhaohua, who was full of tears, and his face was full of seriousness: "Miss Shen, what the hell is going on?" Why did you do it as soon as you came up? ”

"Back to Your Majesty."

Shen Nianzhen finally spoke, but his eyes were firmly staring at Princess Zhaohua, and stated: "As we all know, Princess Zhaohua is fond of my eldest brother, and has chased and intercepted him on the way home several times. ”

"You talk nonsense! I didn't! Princess Zhaohua shouted when she heard this.

Shen Nianzhen ignored her and continued: "This time the Shen family went to the temple to offer incense on the surface, but in fact it was a meeting arranged by my grandmother for my eldest brother. ”

"Who knows, on the way back, the Zhu family's carriage was manipulated, there were more than a dozen carriages along the way, so many people, but Miss Zhu's carriage overturned, and she also fell into the cliff, Princess Zhaohua, do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

In the last sentence, she deliberately raised her voice.

Princess Zhaohua was taken aback when she heard this, her face turned red, and she retorted violently: "No! This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything! ”

She really didn't expect Shen Nianzhen to carry it like this, and directly entered the palace and questioned her in front of the emperor!

Her original plan was that even if someone found out that this accident was manipulated, it might not be able to find out about her, and even if it did, Yongchang Bofu suffered such a loss, would she dare to settle accounts with her, a princess? Forget about it!

Who knows, Shen Nianzhen found her so quickly, and went directly to the palace! Kill her by surprise!

"Zhaohua, is that really the case?" Hearing this, the emperor looked at Zhaohua and did not miss the emptiness of her heart that she could not hide although she tried her best to deny it.

"I ......" Although Zhaohua can speak well, he is still speechless at this moment.

"Humph! Is there any evidence for all this? There is no evidence to make a big fuss here, slandering the princess of the dynasty, Miss Shen, what crime should you be guilty of! The queen stepped forward, pulled her daughter over, and said unceremoniously in the face of Shen Nianzhen.

"It's not difficult for the mother to want evidence." Shen Nianzhen slowly stretched out his hand, and a strand of pink cloth in his palm looked very beautiful in the brightly lit hall: "Queen Mother, do you recognize what this is?" ”

When the queen heard this, she stepped forward and took a look, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Yunjin? It's just a piece of fabric, what does it have to do with Zhaohua? Do you think there are very few people in the entire Shangjing who have Yunjin? What does this prove? ”

"Unexpectedly, although it doesn't prove anything, there is a faint fragrance on it, which is very unique, but it is unique to Princess Zhaohua." Shen Nianzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said unhurriedly: "The fragments of the clothes worn by the princess are stained with her smell, isn't this evidence?" ”

"Take it and I'll take a look."

The Emperor spoke slowly.

When even a palace person stepped forward, he took it from Shen Nianzhen's hand, and then handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took it in his hand, first looked at it over and over again, and then leaned under his nose to smell it carefully.

Princess Zhaohua suddenly became nervous, carefully recalling whether she had left any evidence, she didn't remember that her clothes were torn? Besides, she is a princess, how can she go to the carriage in person? That's too cheap.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was becoming more and more solemn, Zhaohua couldn't bear it anymore, a wave of heart swelled up, and there was a faint pain on her cheeks, she couldn't restrain it anymore, glared at Shen Nianzhen angrily, and said viciously: "What if this princess does something in that carriage?" Xiao Shen's commander is mine! Anyone who dares to marry him deserves death! ”

"Idiot!" The queen really didn't expect Zhaohua to be so stupid, and she was actually frightened by others, and told the truth so quickly, and immediately scolded angrily: "How did the queen mother teach you on weekdays? Even if you are angry again, you can't be angry and take all the responsibility on yourself! If you haven't done it, you haven't done it! No one wants to slander you! ”

"Queen Mother, she has already said it, are you still covering it up like this?" Rong Chen's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

"She's angry with your words!" The queen said angrily.

"Alright." The emperor slowly spoke: "Miss Shen, there is no fragrance on this cloth strip on Zhaohua's body. ”

"Yes, no, but I just cheated on it."

Gu Panxi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "In such a short period of time, it is really too difficult to find evidence that Princess Zhaohua is plotting against Miss Zhu, even if we find the poisonous silver needle from the front hooves of the horse that drove the car, we can't be sure that Princess Zhaohua did it, so we can only enter the palace and ask it in person." ”

"Shen Nianzhen! You are despicable! ”

When Princess Zhaohua heard this, her face was blue for a while and white for a while, and she gritted her teeth and scolded angrily.

"That's not as good as you." Shen Nianzhen said unceremoniously when he heard this: "That slap was returned to you for Miss Zhu, you first started beating people, and then designed to harm her life, even if it is Your Majesty's favorite princess, you can't be so careless about people's lives, right?" ”

"Father!" When Princess Zhaohua heard this, she turned her head to look at the emperor, and when she saw the gloomy face of her father, who had always doted on her, she immediately panicked, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor, crying and crying: "Father! You have to call the shots for your daughter! It's Shen Nianzhen who slanders me! I didn't do anything! ”

"I ask you, Miss Zhu's carriage is really not the hands and feet you sent to do it?" The emperor stared at her and asked word by word.

"I ......" Princess Zhaohua was speechless under his stern gaze, and couldn't help but bow her head.

The queen was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what is the truth of this matter, it has not been investigated clearly!" The concubine thought that Zhaohua was just dizzy for a moment and deliberately said that! Miss Zhu's matter must have something else hidden! Maybe they joined forces to deliberately slander Zhaohua? Not necessarily! ”

"Empress, do you mean that Miss Zhu used her life to slander Zhaohua?"

The emperor glanced at her, his eyes cold.

The queen immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she still pleaded: "Your Majesty! Look at Zhaohua! She's your daughter! Although in the past, because of the excessive favor of concubines and His Majesty, Zhaohua was indeed a little reckless, but she has always been kind! She's not going to kill anyone! I beg Your Majesty to be clear! ”

After speaking, he knelt down beside Princess Zhaohua.

"Yes, that's exactly what the mother said! Father, you have to believe in your daughter! Zhaohua nodded repeatedly.

Shen Nianzhen snorted coldly when he heard this, and also knelt down on the side: "Your Majesty! The courtiers beg His Majesty to find out the facts, not to cover up, not to make peace with the mud, and to give justice to the eldest lady of the Zhu family! ”

Rong Chen also knelt down beside her silently, although he didn't say anything, it was Shen Nianzhen's strong support.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and said with some emotion: "Miss Zhu has an accident, the Zhu family has not done anything, you and Miss Zhu are not relatives at the moment, but you are willing to risk entering the palace for her, and even beat Zhaohua in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Zhu is the future sister-in-law of the courtier, the reason why she has today's tribulations, in the final analysis, is because of the courtier's family, if the courtiers don't stand up for her at this time, why should the Shen family marry her?" Shen Nianzhen spoke slowly.

"In the final analysis, it's all because of a little Shen Da Commander Shen Yunlan." The emperor spoke slowly: "It's really a disaster...... What about him now? Such a thing should have been Shen Yunlan who came to the palace to ask me to find out the truth, right? ”

"Back to my father, when Miss Zhu fell off the cliff, Commander Xiao Shen also jumped off the cliff to save her, and her life and death are unknown at present." Rong Chen replied slowly.

"Shen Yunlan personally jumped off the cliff to save Miss Zhu, life and death are unknown?" The Emperor was visibly taken aback when he heard this.

Princess Zhaohua listened from the sidelines, her face full of deep jealousy and resentment.

So what's so good about Zhu Xiuyan! made Shen Yunlan work so hard for her! Why wasn't that lucky woman herself?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad again.

The emperor glanced at her, and had a bottom in his heart to face the truth of this matter, and sighed lightly at the moment, and said: "This can be regarded as a good story of life and death, Shen family girl, I understand your appeal, so I will send someone to help find someone under the cliff, and at the same time carefully investigate the truth of this matter, and give the Zhu family justice, how about it?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Shen Nianzhen said immediately.

The emperor smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Today is Zhaohua's birthday, but there is such a trouble, it's weird, okay, I won't keep you, if there is nothing else, you can retreat first......"

"Wait a minute!" The queen suddenly raised her head and glared at Shen Nianzhen angrily: "Slap Zhaohua, is it okay?" ”

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Shen Nianzhen with interest, waiting to see how she answered.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at Zhaohua, who was full of resentment, and slowly spoke: "This slap is the slap you gave back to Miss Zhu that day in the temple, in full view of everyone." So many people have seen it, the princess won't deny it, right? ”

"You! Slut! Zhaohua's face was full of anger when he heard this, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and was about to step forward.

Rong Chen snorted heavily, got up slowly, and stood directly in front of Shen Nianzhen.

When Princess Zhaohua saw his vulture's gaze, her arrogance immediately disappeared.

"Alright." The emperor slowly spoke, and said as a peacemaker: "Zhaohua, that slap should be a lesson for you!" You are indeed too arrogant and domineering, Miss Shen will soon be your second sister-in-law, you have to respect her, don't be a slut, as a princess, you must be cultivated! ”

Princess Zhaohua swallowed a mouthful of blood and tears.

I just can't wait to take action in person and scratch Shen Nianzhen's face on the spot.

"Father, son-in-law farewell."

Rong Chen raised his head, saluted the emperor, immediately reached out to hold Shen Nianzhen's hand, turned around and slowly retreated.

The queen stared gloomily at the backs of the two people, as if she hated something in her heart.

……

As soon as he left Kunning Palace, Shen Nianzhen went soft, and then leaned on Rong Chen.

Rong Chen stretched out two hands, supported her steadily, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were really bold, and if you ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, it turns out that you will also be afraid!" What kind of person is Zhaohua, this palace dares to say that in the whole day, no one dares to let her suffer such a big loss. ”

Shen Nianzhen glanced at him when he heard this, took a few breaths, and then stood up straight with his own strength, and said, "The emperor has issued an order to send a large number of people to search the mountain, and I should be able to find my eldest brother and the eldest lady of the Zhu family soon." ”

"It turns out that this is the purpose of your entry into the palace." Rong Chen said with a smile.

"No, my purpose is to make Zhaohua personally admit that she hurt Miss Zhu." Shen Nianzhen walked forward and said slowly: "This woman is really crazy, if she doesn't suffer a little, she will do even crazier things." ”

And she will never allow her family to have any more accidents.

"Aren't you afraid that she will be angry and angry, break the kettle, and break the net with your Shen family?" In the carriage, Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen with a curious expression and said, "As far as I know, what Zhaohua can't get, she would rather destroy it." ”

"Then we'll see." Shen Nianzhen frowned tightly when he heard this: "Do you really think that the royal family can be lawless?" My eldest brother just doesn't want to marry her, but I want to see what else she can do! ”

"You broke into the palace like this, also to give an explanation to the Zhu family, right?" Rong Chen asked.

"There's something about that." Shen Nianzhen nodded when she heard this: "Sister Zhu is a good girl, I want her to be my sister-in-law." ”

Rong Chen looked at her with a very gentle gaze, Shen Nianzhen tonight was really beyond his expectations, you said that she has always been well-behaved and calm, she is a good girl, but she dared to rush into the palace regardless of it, and dared to teach Zhaohua a lesson.
