Xiao Shengyun intends to forcefully suppress this matter.

But in the court, there was another storm because of this incident.

When Xiao Zhaolin learned about this, he went forward with a dark face, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I already know about the murder of the little prince born to Concubine Shu. I am convicted of this crime, and the Empress must be severely punished!"

When he learned of this, he was really taken aback.

No matter what, Su Lijin would kill the little prince.

Originally, when he asked Concubine Shu to give birth to this bastard child, he deliberately relied on the emperor's daring not to speak up and controlled his mentality, so he gave birth to the child.

He wholeheartedly wanted this child to improve Concubine Shu's status in the harem. As Concubine Shu's status improved, that bastard's status would also get higher and higher, and he would control him in the future, and it would be more convenient for him to act on his own in the future.

He tried his best to pave this road.

But now that the child was killed by Su Lijin, all his calculations were in vain, and he hated Su Lijin so much in his heart.

He really regretted not getting rid of this woman long ago.

Therefore, in the court this time, he must be punished by the emperor.

Xiao Shengyun looked at him with dignity in his black eyes: "I will deal with this matter myself."

Hearing this, how could Xiao Zhaolin give up so easily?
He immediately gave a few officials behind him a look, and suddenly a row of officials came out, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is so cruel and ruthless that she doesn't even spare a child who has just reached the full moon. She is really a snake and a scorpion!"

"The empress is cruel and insane, she is really not worthy of the position of benevolent empress."

The ministers impeached one by one, Xiao Zhaolin watched with a cold light on his face.

Su Lijin, let's see how you can keep your position today!

"Ministers, I don't need you to worry about my harem. You should worry about state affairs. The situation before the war was tense. I didn't see how active you are."

Looking at the kneeling courtiers one by one, a trace of anger appeared in Xiao Shengyun's eyes, and there was a hint of beating in his tone.

He didn't miss it. In Xiao Zhaolin's eyes, these talents stood out.

It can be seen from this that these people should only follow Xiao Zhaolin's lead.

His dark eyes were slightly darkened, and his face became a little more serious.

"Your Majesty, although it is said to be a matter of the harem, the matter of the emperor's heir is related to the state system. The murder of the emperor's heir is a major national event and cannot be sloppy."

Xiao Zhaolin felt dissatisfied when he saw the emperor's attempt to expose the matter, and immediately pressed his hands together and said: "The empress killed the prince with her own hands. This is a cruel and bloody act, and the world cannot tolerate it. The empress has bad conduct and sins, and she is really unworthy to be an empress."

"Yeah, she is not worthy of being a queen, nor is she worthy of being the mother of a country!"

"That is, how can the mother of a country be such a vicious person?"

Instigated by Xiao Zhaolin's words, more and more courtiers joined the camp against Su Lijin, and there were voices of condemnation one after another in the court hall.

Listening to these voices with satisfaction, Xiao Zhaolin said confidently, "I implore the emperor to abolish the empress!"

Many courtiers also echoed in unison.

Xiao Shengyun frowned tightly, looking at the courtiers below, his black eyes were slightly cold.

These people actually listened to Xiao Zhaolin's instigation and helped him persecute themselves.

"Is there any evidence to prove the queen's crime?" He snorted coldly: "If there is no evidence, the queen cannot be abolished."

He could see Su Lijin's innocence.

What Concubine Shu pointed out was so pale and weak, although in the end Concubine Shu changed her words and said that it was the empress who covered the prince's mouth and nose, causing him to suffocate and die.

But Xiao Shengyun believed that Su Lijin would never do this.

If she was really a cruel person, as a queen, she would definitely not let Concubine Shu have the chance to give birth to a prince.

Why wait this time to do it?
Xiao Shengyun always believed that the queen was as kind and benevolent as he knew.

Xiao Zhaolin did not have sufficient evidence.

Concubine Shu didn't give very strong evidence either, so she fell silent for a while.

All the ministers also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Since there is no evidence..." Xiao Shengyun was about to speak, but Xiao Zhaolin suddenly raised his head and interrupted him.

"Although there is no sufficient evidence, the empress did approach the prince in full view. The prince was later confirmed dead. The empress has no evidence to prove that she did not cover the prince's mouth and nose to suffocate him to death."

Xiao Zhaolin narrowed his eyes: "These queens don't have evidence to prove themselves, do they?"

These words once again aroused the discussion among the ministers.

Xiao Shengyun looked at him: "Then what do you want?"

"Your majesty, the empress is inseparable from the death of the little prince. Even if the empress is not abolished for the time being, she must be locked up in the palace and restrained, as a warning to others!"

The eyes of the two met in the air, and suddenly an extremely cold atmosphere shrouded the court.

After a long while, Xiao Shengyun looked back and said: "Then the queen will be confined in the palace."

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Zhaolin's lips curled up, his expression quite satisfied.

The order from the court was quickly implemented, and Su Lijin's palace gate was locked with a bang, and she was immediately grounded.

Looking at the closed palace door, Su Lijin lowered her eyes, showing no expression.

She walked quietly to one side and sat on a low stool, taking out a medical book in her hand and flipping through it.

The order was given by Xiao Shengyao. When she heard the order, she didn't have much reaction in her heart.

Su Lijin knew very well that Concubine Shu would not let it go, and the court also did the same.

Maybe since she stepped into Yikun Palace yesterday, she has already stepped into a trap, and it is not easy to get out at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, there was movement from the small hidden compartment on the palace gate.

"Empress, the slave has brought you food."

A little eunuch's voice sounded.

Su Lijin put down the medical book, opened the small hidden compartment, and immediately outside the small hole in the door, a somewhat worried face appeared.

The little eunuch was thin and delicate, and when he looked at himself, his eyes were complicated, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

After taking the food box, Su Lijin hesitated and said, "What do you want to find Ben Gong?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch showed surprise on his face, and then he looked around in a panic, only to feel relieved when he saw that there was no one around.

Looking at Su Lijin, the little eunuch seemed to be struggling to make a decision, and finally gritted his teeth, his eyes were firm, and said: "Empress Empress, I have seen Concubine Shu abuse the little Highness, and the bruises on the little Highness are all caused by her." of."

Su Lijin was surprised: "Did you really see it?"

The little eunuch nodded: "The slave promises that there will be no lies."

Thinking of something, Su Li asked, "Are you willing to be a witness?"

Looking around in a panic, the little eunuch trembled: "I don't dare, the reason why I came to tell you today is because the empress has helped the slave, but if the slave testifies, he will die..."

Su Lijin didn't remember that she actually helped him.

She promised: "I will protect you from death, are you willing to testify?"

After hesitating for a moment, the little eunuch looked at her sincere eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my servant will testify."

With witnesses, Su Lijin immediately asked for orders to go to Yikun Palace to confront the matter again.

Seeing the little eunuch who testified, Concubine Shu wanted to pounce on him immediately to silence her. She never expected that after getting rid of the eunuch who peeked out at the beginning, there would be another fish that slipped through the net!
"The concubine doesn't know what nonsense he is talking about!" She immediately bit her to death and refused to admit it.

The little eunuch tremblingly told the time when Concubine Shu abused every time, and finally said: "The tools used by Concubine Shu to abuse the little prince are an iron pestle full of barbs, and a box of poison that suffocated the little prince. Incense."

Concubine Shu's expression changed.

He even knew about the incense? !

Su Lijin said: "Concubine Shu, you abused the little prince and caused his death, and even tried to put the blame on Bengong, you are really vicious!"

Xiao Shengyun narrowed his dangerous black eyes: "Concubine Shu, can you confess?"

Concubine Shu hurriedly shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "This must be the empress' collusion, the concubine has never done it!"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Shengyun didn't say any more, and as soon as he waved his hand, someone from the punishment department came over with torture tools.

Concubine Shu backed away with a pale face.

The maid next to her was dragged over and tortured immediately.

Yikun Palace suddenly let out a shrill scream.

The palace maid was as angry as a silk, and confessed: "The slave said that the tools are under the bed in the inner room..."

"You!" Concubine Shu knew something was wrong, and hurried to the inner room, but was stopped by the guards.

Soon, the tool was searched out.

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, Concubine Shu, what else do you have to say?" Su Li asked.

Xiao Shengyun said in a deep voice, "Give poisoned wine."

Concubine Shu's face was pale, and she hurriedly asked Xiao Zhaolin for help: "Your Highness, help me..."
