Chapter 87 Nan Chen's Identity Exposed

"Yes."

Shen Mengqi turned around slowly, looked at Lin Jihan who had a frosty face, and smiled lightly, "You said before that you would forgive me for hiding one thing from you, and this is that thing."

Lin Jihan recalled how sweet Shen Mengqi called her husband that night, and how sweet his heart is now.No wonder Nan Chen looks like a man, no wonder Shen Mengqi treats him very special, no wonder he never enters the house to guard Shen Mengqi.

It turned out that there were traces to follow, but he wanted to lie to himself that it was not true.

Looking at Lin Jihan who was full of disappointment, Shen Qingning walked to his side silently, "My lord, are you okay, my sister is like this, she will lose her position when she encounters Nanchen."

Shen Qingning said that the relationship between Shen Mengqi and Nan Chen was unusual.

Lin Ji looked at Shen Qingning coldly and asked, "So, what do you want to express?"

"I"

"No matter what happens to this king's wife, you can't let me tell you what to do."

After finishing speaking, Lin Jihan walked to the front of the general and stood still, neither looking at Shen Mengqi nor Shen Qingning, as if the disturbance had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Lin Jihan didn't intend to intervene, the emperor looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "I've made a decision about Nanchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials should go home and rest first."

"What resolution?" Shen Mengqi looked straight at the uncle Huang sitting on the throne and said, "Don't you know that Nanchen is a man, Uncle Huang? Isn't he?"

"Shen Mengqi! Be careful!"

This was the first time that the emperor scolded Shen Mengqi in front of the courtiers, all the courtiers immediately shut up, they could not help but stand a little further away, for fear of being affected by the emperor's anger.

At this time, a pair of bloody hands grabbed Shen Mengqi's crumpled clothes, Shen Mengqi lowered her head, and saw Nan Chen forced a smile to look at her, he shook his head at her, and said silently: "No."

This kind of Nanchen reminded Shen Mengqi of her childhood, when she was bullied so much that she had no desire to live. He also smiled and gave himself a piece of candy at that time, saying to himself that only when one is alive can there be infinite possibilities. .

Nanchen always said that he was a ray of light in his life, pulling him out of the endless abyss of the cold palace.But he is not her own salvation. If it weren't for his words about that piece of candy, she herself wouldn't know how to get out of the predicament.

Even if he is alive, he is afraid that he will always live under the shadow of his mother and Shen Qingning bullying him.

Shen Mengqi gave Nan Chen a faint smile, just like she brought him out of the cold palace that year, she said to him: "Relax, everything is up to me."

Seeing Shen Mengqi who was extremely gentle to Nan Chen, Lin Jihan couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

"Uncle Huang, what are you going to do with Nanchen?"

Seeing Shen Mengqi standing in front of Nanchen and covering Nanchen behind him, the emperor's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Assassinating Shangshu is an unforgivable crime. Therefore, murder pays for life."

"Uncle Huang, are you so intolerable for Nan Chen?"

The emperor's expression on the dragon chair gradually became unnatural, but Shen Qingning pressed her every step of the way, "What does it mean that the emperor can't tolerate Nan Chen? He committed the crime himself. Let's act according to the law."

Shen Mengqi ignored Shen Qingning, but looked at the emperor decisively and said, "Uncle Huang, Mengqi has something to confess."

The emperor obviously didn't want to ask her to say more, "You've been busy all day, so let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

But Shen Mengqi said stubbornly: "I killed Wang Chongming, the former Minister of Officials."

As soon as Shen Mengqi's words came out, all the courtiers were startled, and the emperor even slapped the dragon chair angrily, "Do you know what you're going to say again!"

"I know very well that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is"

"I killed it!"

Nanchen roared with all his strength: "Your Majesty, I killed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I admit it, I admit it if I want to kill it or cut it to pieces!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Mengqi was a little anxious, "You will die if you confess your crimes indiscriminately!"

"So please don't plead guilty, Your Highness the Princess."

Nan Chen stared blankly at Lin Jihan, who stood at the top of the general, and said, "After all, you were still in the mansion when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was assassinated. This is what the prince saw with his own eyes, didn't he?"

Lin Jihan said indifferently: "Yes."

Shen Mengqi was not allowed to speak, so the emperor took the words and said: "Okay, since the criminal has been punished, this matter is settled."

"Uncle Huang, I really killed this person, and it has nothing to do with Nanchen."

Seeing Shen Mengqi and Nanchen who blamed each other, the courtiers had their own calculations in their minds. After the Dali Temple found out that Lu Bu was the scapegoat, the regent first came forward to take the blame, and then Nanchen and Princess Anshun stood up and competed for it. It is said that people kill themselves.

It seems that the background of the real culprit who killed the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials must not be simple. With the protection of these giant Buddhas, the real culprit will definitely not be caught. Now it is just a scapegoat.

Judging from what the regent and the emperor meant, the scapegoat was Nan Chen.

In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, the emperor immediately asked someone to drag Nan Chen down and execute him directly.

At this moment, Shen Mengqi suddenly stood in front of Nan Chen, "I'll see who dares to touch him!"

Looking at the emperor and the regent who turned dark immediately, the minister of the Ministry of punishment couldn't help jumping out to persuade him: "Shangshu of the Ministry of officials, I know that you are eager to protect the calf, but you should pay for your life if you kill someone. You have pleaded guilty. What are you still holding on to?"

Shen Qingning also said: "Yes, he should have died, what are you obsessed with?"

Looking at Shen Mengqi, who had scarlet eyes and was looking at her with hatred, Shen Qingning smiled triumphantly, and finally let her win the round.

She raised her hand and said, "Drag Nan Chen down and execute the sentence."

Shen Mengqi stubbornly stood in front of Nan Chen, "I'll see who dares!"

Seeing Shen Mengqi being so domineering, the courtiers became dissatisfied. They looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Sir, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, can you be reasonable? Killing people pays their lives. Why can't you touch him?"

"Just because there is a Shen character in front of his name!"

As soon as Shen Mengqi's words came out of her mouth, there was an uproar all over the court, and the emperor couldn't sit still, "Mengqi, shut up!"

And Shen Qingning didn't expect Shen Mengqi to be so open-minded. After being stunned for two seconds, she sneered and said, "Sister, you have to be careful, not everyone can be named Shen."

"Am I talking nonsense, don't you know?"

"Sister Mengqi, what do you mean?"

Shen Mengqi sneered and said: "If he hadn't been discovered in Lenggong back then, then the current third prince should be called the second prince, right?"

Shen Mengqi clarified Nanchen's identity in one sentence, and all the courtiers gasped.And the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Shen Qingning couldn't help being a little flustered, she looked at the emperor with a bad look and growled at Shen Mengqi: "Why are you talking about these old things?"

"Princess Qingning has a bad memory, so let me recall for you why Nanchen's surname is Shen."

The emperor looked at Shen Mengqi sullenly and said, "Mengqi, do you have to do this?"

Shen Mengqi looked at the emperor sitting on the high seat and said: "Uncle Huang, after so many years, he must be given justice."

After finishing speaking, Shen Mengqi turned to look at Shen Qingning, "What are you talking about, Princess Qingning."

"what are you going to do?"

"More than ten years ago, when my mother, the eldest princess, was still alive, the child I loved the most was you, because you were the only one who liked to bully me as much as her. At that time, I was still in the stage of ignorance, and I didn't know what was good and what was wrong. It’s bad, no matter how you beat me, scold me, or punish me, as long as you give me a sweet date, I will feel that you love me.”

Nan Chen knew that it was Shen Mengqi's wound that would never be erased, so he couldn't help but tugged at Shen Mengqi and said, "Stop talking."

This was the first time she talked about that dark past in front of so many people. Seeing the surprised and distressed expressions of the courtiers, Shen Mengqi remained calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"I didn't even know that I was tortured by you for several years. It wasn't until one day that I got lost and went to the Leng Palace and met Shen Nanchen, the second prince who was born in the Leng Palace. I didn't know that life should not be like this. But you just because of him Gave me a piece of candy, and tortured him crazily."

"Because his mother is a court lady and is not welcomed by the emperor's uncle, and has been imprisoned in the cold palace and no one cares about it, it is far easier for you to deal with him than me."

"After the imperial grandmother found out that you abused me, you all vented your anger on Shen Nanchen."

Afterwards, Shen Mengqi spoke frankly about her scheming back then.

"In order to save him, I took advantage of the emperor's grandmother's deep affection and asked Nanchen to be my bodyguard under the pretense of preserving the emperor's uncle's face. Dressed as a woman for decades."

As she said that, Shen Mengqi glanced at Shen Nanchen, who was covered in blood, and said with a chuckle, "Is it because he fell into your hands this time that he was beaten to such an extent? Then Princess Qingning, you are much more merciful than before."

Shen Mengqi's light words revealed how cruel Shen Qingning was back then.The courtiers couldn't help being shocked, she was only a child at that time.

Listening to the whispers of the courtiers, Shen Qingning seemed to be dragged back to the nightmare when the imperial grandmother found out that she had abused Shen Mengqi.

With a pale face, she pointed at Shen Mengqi and said, "You spout blood!"

"I'm spitting blood? You must have forgotten why you were sent to Nine Nether Thirteen Counties, right?"

Shen Mengqi said word by word: "If it weren't for your mother's life to pay for it, the emperor's grandmother's original words were that vicious people should be exiled for [-] miles. Didn't they ask you to guard the Nine Nether Thirteen Counties to get rid of the tyranny and kindness in you?" Gary?"

The emperor looked at Shen Mengqi from the dragon chair with a gloomy face. Shen Mengqi vomited up the scandal that their royal family had suppressed for decades, but she was really his good niece.

"Meng Qi, have you said enough?"

Looking at the emperor suppressing his anger, Shen Mengqi did not show any fear, but continued to look at Shen Qingning and said, "You dare to do this today, it is nothing more than a premonition, the emperor doesn't want to care about him, and because of the reputation of the royal family, the emperor uncle I don’t dare to expose these things because of my face.”

"Shen Mengqi!"

The emperor finally couldn't hold back anymore, "You passed!"

Looking at the emperor who lost his temper to her for the first time, Shen Mengqi still persisted and said: "Uncle Huang should be angry with Mengqi, but Shen Nanchen is your blood, even if you don't want to Face it, please let him go."

The matter is now known to the whole court, and he can do whatever he wants to deal with Shen Nanchen.

"Good, good, good."

The emperor said three good things in a row, he looked at Shen Mengqi with anger and said: "I can let him go, but I will never forgive you for insulting the royal reputation!"

Shen Mengqi bent down and knelt on the spot, she looked at the disappointed emperor and said, "Mengqi is willing to be punished!"

The emperor angrily picked up the booklet beside him and threw it at Shen Mengqi, "You really think I dare not punish you, do you?"

Before the zhezi got close to Shen Mengqi's body, she was stopped by a pair of big hands, and Lin Jihan grabbed the zhezi and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Seeing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also knelt down and saluted: "Please appease the emperor."

The kneeling of Lin Jihan and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice immediately attracted many courtiers to kneel down, "Please appease the emperor."

The emperor pointed at Lin Jihan angrily, then pointed at Shen Mengqi and said angrily: "You, you guys, you are doing well! Are you persecuting me?"

Just at this time, the eunuch outside the hall shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother is here!"

All the courtiers knelt together in an instant, and no one dared to raise their heads again, "I wait to welcome the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

Hearing that the Empress Dowager is coming, the emperor's face softened a little, "Why are you here, Queen Mother?"

The queen mother casually helped Shen Mengqi who was still kneeling on the ground, she looked at the emperor and said angrily: "If the Ai family doesn't come again, will Meng Qi and Nan Chen of the Ai family be sent to the prison by you to wait to die?"

"Queen, it's nothing."

The emperor's words seemed a little pale in front of Shen Nanchen who was covered in blood.

And Shen Qingning ran to the Queen Mother and complained endlessly to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, Shen Mengqi counted on you back then. She let you see that incident on purpose, and Shen Nanchen was also on her intentions! "

The queen mother pulled out Shen Qingning's arm that was holding her, and said coldly: "The Ai family knows."

With just this one action, she immediately saw the close relationship between Shen Qingning and Shen Mengqi.

Shen Qingning asked with disbelief: "You know? You know, why?"

The queen mother ignored Shen Qingning, but looked at the emperor and said: "The emperor has been here for so many years, why are you still living worse than a child?"

Being reprimanded in front of all the ministers, the emperor was a bit embarrassed to step down, so he secretly said: "Mother~"

The queen mother was not so easy to talk to, she looked at the emperor and said: "You didn't want to face that maid back then, knowing that she gave birth to the second prince, you still ignored her and let them both live in the cold palace, it was a dream Qi brought him out. For you, he didn't even ask for a title, but was forced to be a maid by Meng Qi's side, but look, what are you doing?"

"You actually wanted his life! Tiger poison doesn't even eat your son, emperor!"
