Your Highness, the Crown Princess is investigating the case again!

Chapter 167

Xie Yunsheng held Shen Luo in his arms, and fed the bitter medicine to Shen Luo's lips
After feeding the medicine, Xie Yunsheng supported Shen Luo's body, put Shen Luo back on the bed, and then pulled the quilt to cover her up.

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo who was sleeping soundly, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes: "Luo'er, when will you wake up?"

"Wake up soon, okay?" Xie Yunsheng begged softly while holding Shen Luo's hand.

He knew she would be fine, but he was still anxious seeing her unconscious.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

Zhang Kang knocked on the door and reported: "Your Highness, there are people from the palace asking questions. Your Majesty and Your Majesty want to know the physical condition of Mr. Shen."

"Report truthfully. The cause and effect, detail and detail, let the emperor know everything." Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes were as gloomy as ice for a thousand years.

"Yes." Zhang Kang replied immediately.

Zhang Kang glanced out of the window and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate has received news that the eldest brother of this subordinate has brought the housekeeper from Mr. Su's mansion to Liu Mao. It shouldn't be long before we know who the murderer who wanted to murder Mr. Shen is. who is it."

"You, step back first, and report back immediately if you get any news." Xie Yunsheng waved Zhang Kang to step back.

What he wants most now is to let Luo'er take a good rest, maybe when Shen Luo has enough rest, she will wake up.

Zhang Kang bowed his hands in salute, and stepped back.

next day
Emperor Cheng looked at the court minister who was kneeling in front of him and saluted, and said, "You should already know what happened yesterday."

"In order to save the common people, Shen Luo broke into the fire and fell into a coma, but someone wanted to take this opportunity to make Shen Luo never wake up again."

"You say such a person, can I let him go?" The words were addressed to everyone, but Emperor Cheng fell on Su Xiang alone.

Li Ao was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, murdering an official of the imperial court is a capital crime, and murdering an official of the third rank is a serious crime against the nine clans. No matter who wants to murder Master Shen, His Majesty should not let it go."

"Murdering a third-rank official of the imperial court is a capital crime. Murdering a second-rank official of the imperial court will punish the ten clans." Emperor Cheng looked at the person in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to promote Shen Luo to the title, but I have not found a suitable position."

"I thought hard last night and thought I could find another way to promote Shen Luo."

As the words fell, he stroked the armrest of his seat and said, "I am determined to promote the official position of Situ in Beizhen Prefecture to the official rank of the second rank, so that Shen Luo's official position can be elevated."

He originally wanted to promote Shen Luo's official position, but now he took this opportunity to promote Shen Luo's official position not only to deter others and punish the criminals, but also to let everyone understand his determination to protect Shen Luo.

It was he who persuaded Shen Luo to enter the court. If he couldn't even protect his own people, then what qualifications did he have to be the emperor?

"Su Xiang, the housekeeper of your house has already confessed that he bought the hawker who sells winter bamboo shoots to make Shen Lu never wake up. What do you think I should do?" Emperor Cheng leaned forward, his deep eyes flicked A faint light, that light is questioning, probing, ruthless, and killing intent.

Su Xiang lowered her eyes and replied humbly: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about this."

"My minister is an official of the imperial court and is well versed in the law, how could I order my subordinates to murder the courtier?" Su Xiang asked back, insisting on proving her innocence.

It was Mrs. Wang who came up with the idea, and it was Mrs. Wang's butler who followed the order. He was not involved in the whole process. He is innocent. Even if His Majesty asks again, he is still innocent.

Emperor Cheng looked at Su Xiang, and said in a deep voice: "Your housekeeper has already confessed, he said that your wife ordered him to pay for murder, how could you not know about this?"

Su Xiang lowered her head and bowed her head to defend herself: "Your Majesty, I really don't know."

"Murdering an official of the court is a capital crime, and there is no need for a minister to implicate the whole family because of some personal grievances." Su Xiang explained righteously.

"Those were all done by one person, please don't implicate innocent people, Your Majesty."

"The woman made a big mistake ignorantly, but Mr. Shen is still alive, please forgive me and let Wang's two children go." Su Xiang cried with deep affection and affection for protecting her son.

"Since that's the case, if you have a way to prove your innocence, and prove that this matter was done by the Wang family alone, I will let you go, and let go of your two children." Emperor Cheng looked at Su Xiang and promised in a deep voice.

At this time, he wanted to see what Su Xiang would do?
Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Su Xiang said: "I am willing to kill my relatives righteously to prove my innocence! To protect my two children."

Emperor Cheng couldn't help frowning: "Oh! How do you plan to punish Wang?"

Su Xiang said: "Your Majesty, please make it clear that no matter how His Majesty wants to punish the Wang family, I will execute it."

Emperor Cheng waved his hand, Eunuch Cao came to Su Xiang holding a tray with a green-glazed and carved water lotus jug on it, and said, "Your Majesty bestowed upon Mrs. Wang the medicine for pulling the chance. Please Mr. Su feed it to Mrs. Wang to prove it." Lord Su's innocence."

Su Xiang looked at Eunuch Cao standing in front of her, got up slowly, and took the tray in Eunuch Cao's hand with trembling hands: "I will not disgrace the emperor's order."

"I will let Eunuch Cao accompany and monitor." Chengdi looked at Su Xiang, with a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Yes." Su Xiang stewed the tray and retreated.

Everyone couldn't help clicking their tongues: "I really didn't expect Su Xiang to be such a person."

"Ms. Wang has been married to him for 20 years. After 20 years of husband and wife relationship, he did not plead for Mrs. Wang, but chose to abandon the car to protect the handsome man." Li Ao glanced at Su Xiang's leaving back in disgust, his eyes flicked A trace of disgust.

He does not mean that!
When Li Ao's words fell into Emperor Cheng's ears, their meaning changed.

Su Xiang and the Wang family have been in love for [-] years, and he said that he can do it right away. How will Su Xiang treat Shen Xiangwan, who has only been married to Su Xiang for one year?

The more Emperor Cheng thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he said coldly, "Retire."

Emperor Cheng was not at all interested in the court without his son.

Everyone left angrily.

Su Xiang stepped into the Su residence with a tray, attracting everyone's attention, and the little maid beside Wang immediately went to report to Wang.

Wang immediately realized that what he had done had been discovered by others, so he immediately packed his bags and wanted to escape.

Eunuch Cao ordered people to surround the courtyard of the Su Mansion early on, and the Wang family could not leave at all.

Looking at Wang Shi who murdered Shen Luo, Eunuch Cao approached Wang Shi step by step, and asked, "Madam Xiangye, where are you going?"

Carrying her own baggage, Wang looked at Su Xiang who was carrying the tray, and immediately understood what Su Xiang wanted to do in her heart.

She backed away, avoiding Su Xiang's approach, and said in a trembling voice: "Su Xiang, we have been married for 20 years, do you really want to attack me?"

Holding the tray, Su Xiang asked softly: "I have been married to you for twenty years, and we are childhood sweethearts with you, but I never thought that you would insist on murdering Shen Luo regardless of the life and death of the Su family."

"Su Xiang, say it again." Wang looked at Su Xiang in disbelief.

She didn't expect that Su Xiang would put all the crimes on herself, she obviously ordered the housekeeper to do it with Su Xiang's consent.

Su Xiang looked at Wang Shi, and said, "No matter how many times I say it, it won't change the fact."

He poured the machine medicine into the wine glass and put it in front of Wang, implying: "This is a reward from His Majesty, you should drink it. Eunuch Cao is watching over him!"

"Murdering a second-rank minister of the imperial court is a death penalty for the ten clans. You can't implicate our son and daughter!" Su Xiang covered her face and wept, persuading Wang to plead guilty, as if she didn't know it at all.
