On the one hand, Shu Jin acted resolutely to suppress the gossip, on the other hand, he strictly restrained His Highness Dan Ning.With such strict defenses, no matter whether the outsiders or the insiders want to do something, it will be very difficult for them to succeed.

So on this day, Li Shouzhong escorted Ning Guiren's personal maid Baozhu to the main hall.

"Mother, this lowly slave was caught stealing the banyan snake by the servant!" Li Shouzhong reported with a banyan snake in his hand.

Shu Jin:? ? ?
Steal, steal what?
Steal a snake? !
Shu Jin never expected to do such a thing.

Shu Jin glanced at the snake. Although it was quite dead, it was so long and thick that a little maid was not afraid!Actually started to steal!You say it's not good for you to steal something?Obviously, there are so many precious ingredients in the back kitchen of Danning Palace!
Shu Jin rubbed the center of her eyebrows, glanced at Baozhu who was kneeling on the ground with her head deeply buried, "Well, who ordered you?"

Baozhu bit her lip tightly, and after a long time said softly, "This slave is most afraid of this kind of thing, how could he steal a snake? Eunuch Li is the one who slandered the slave."

Shu Jin: Oh well, being stolen and captured by others, you still have such a stubborn mouth? !
Shu Jin waved his hand, "Send it to the Punishment Department! I want to see how tough you are and how many tortures you can withstand."

Baozhu still bit her lip firmly.

Li Shouzhong snorted coldly, and greeted two high-ranking eunuchs, "Come on, take this dirty hand and foot slave to the Punishment Department, and ask the Jingqi nuns to take good care of them!"

At this moment, Ning Guiren from the side hall, supported by Yinzhu, broke in, "Imperial Concubine——"

Shu Jin frowned, but she also understood that what happened in the Danning Palace, the orbs were tied up and sent to the main hall, and she couldn't hide it from Ning Guiren's eyes.

As soon as Ning Guiren came in, he saw the snake in Li Shouzhong's hand, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled, "Snake, snake!!!"

Shu Jin hastily glared at Li Shouzhong: "Hurry up and put it away!"

"Hey!" Li Shouzhong was so bold that he didn't have a basket at hand, so he stuffed it directly into his sleeve.

Ning Guiren stroked his chest, and it took a long time to catch his breath and calm down. He was really terrified by this appearance.

Shu Jin hurriedly caressed: "Don't worry, it's just a dead snake, it won't bite."

Then he said sternly: "I don't know who bought the maid Baozhu by your side, and she went to the back kitchen to steal the snake. I'm afraid she wanted to take it to the side hall to scare you. Fortunately, Li Shouzhong took care of the back kitchen and was always careful, so this person stole the snake." And caught, caught upright."

After briefly stating what happened, Shu Jinfu said again: "Don't worry, I will hand it over to the Punishment Department for torture! Under the severe punishment, I will not believe her and refuse to confess!"

Shu Jin sneered, how tough can a little girl be? !

This is related to the emperor's heir, and the Punishment Department dare not be unsatisfied.

However, Ning Guiren's face became paler when he heard this.

On the other hand, Baozhu clenched his teeth tightly and still didn't say a word, so he was detained by the eunuch.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Ning Guiren felt very confused, how could this happen, she clearly told Baozhu to be careful, how could she still be caught?And it's still stolen?According to the words of the noble concubine, Baozhu has not confessed to her for the time being, but how can she, a young maid, be able to resist the torture from the Department of Punishment.

"Imperial concubine, did you make a mistake?" Ning Guiren tried hard to force a smile.

Shu Jin said: "Everyone is watching, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence, so she can't tolerate sophistry."

Ning Guiren couldn't help but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Your Majesty..."

She was about to quibble, but suddenly felt a twitch in her stomach, "Mother, my concubine... my stomach hurts."

Shu Jin secretly cursed "Fuck", this is about to start!

After all, Ning Guiren was frightened by the snake and was so frightened.

"Come here, hurry up and help Ning nobleman to return to the side hall! Quickly call the imperial physician and Wen Po! Hurry up!" Shu Jin ordered in a hurry.

Fortunately, it was not the first time that Tan Ning Dian took care of a pregnant woman, and immediately began to function in an orderly manner.

When the relevant professionals arrived, there was only so much Shu Jin could do. She sat in the main hall and listened to the painful wailing of the side hall, but her mind gradually stabilized.

The matter of the orb stealing the snake is really weird.

Could it be that it was done to scare Ning Guiren?

Who instigated it?
Princess Dun?

Or Ning Gui himself?
To be honest, Ning Gui is also a little suspicious.For a court lady, she ran to the main hall in a hurry with a big belly...

But Mrs. Ning is really afraid of snakes, how could she risk the child in her womb?

Shu Jin rubbed the center of her brows, and in the end, she still made such a fuss.

Ning Guiren started it early in the morning, and it was near noon that Yongzheng arrived slowly.

Shu Jin rushed forward to greet him, and reported a series of accidents to the emperor this morning.

Yinzhen's face darkened, "You mean, someone wants to disturb the dragon's fetus?"——to put it more seriously, it means murdering the emperor's heir.

"Yes, that court lady has been sent to the Department of Punishment for interrogation, and there must be a result soon." Shu Jin said hastily.

Yinzhen ordered Zhang Lin: "Ask the Punishment Department to be more careful!"

"Whoo!"

Only then did Yinzhen ask, "How is Mr. Ning Gui?"

Shu Jin smiled wryly: "The fetus is a bit big, Ning Guiren is afraid that he will suffer a lot."

Yinzhen naturally understood the meaning of the words, not to mention that a while ago he also noticed that Ning Guiren's belly was a bit too big, but the imperial doctor said that the emperor's heir was healthy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"No matter what, the emperor's heir must be safe and sound." Yinzhen said deeply.

Shu Jin sighed, "I understand what the emperor means."

Once there is an emergency, I have to give up my mother and baby.

As he said that, Shu Jin said solemnly again: "If it really gets to the point where it can't be done, please ask the emperor to choose a adoptive mother for the emperor's heir order, otherwise the concubine will be suspected."

Yinzhen was startled, Ning Guiren was taken care of by the Geng family until now, if something unexpected happens, it is inevitable that people will maliciously speculate that the noble concubine killed her mother and took her son.

Yinzhen sighed, "Of course we still have to try our best to keep the mother and child safe."

Shu Jin nodded: "The concubine naturally hopes for the safety of the mother and child, and has already called Imperial Physician Zhou to help Imperial Physician Qin."

At this time, it is not the time to be stingy with money.

At this moment, there was a shrill scream from the side hall, which made people feel panicked.Yinzhen twirled the lapis lazuli beads on his wrist, and asked suddenly: "The concubine thinks, who deliberately startled Ning Guiren's womb?"

Shu Jin doubted Concubine Dun and Ning Guiren, but she couldn't just talk empty words, "The concubine dare not make random speculations, and the concubine herself is also suspicious."

Yinzhen was taken aback, "I trust the imperial concubine."

Shu Jin really felt a little inconceivable that he could gain the trust of the suspicious Yongzheng.

She smiled wryly, "The matter happened in the Danning Palace, so if the jewels are not kept in order, it will be said that it was instigated by the concubine."

Yinzhen said: "If it was really the imperial concubine's doing, she wouldn't be able to get the stolen goods at the same time."——not to mention choosing a adoptive mother for the emperor's heir order.
