Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Everyone in the room also heard the noise, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Emperor Mu Wu was both angry and annoyed: "How shameful!"

Eunuch Li trotted in, also in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, if the Imperial Concubine refuses to leave no matter what, we servants dare not use force, you, you..."

After all, the imperial concubine has been favored for many years. Who dares to touch her?

Emperor Mu Wu has not abolished her position as Imperial Concubine to this day, although he is somewhat cold to her. But who can guarantee that Imperial Concubine Ru will not regain favor in the future?

So this problem finally fell on Emperor Mu Wu.

Emperor Mu Wu's face was as gloomy as water.

Shen Yanchuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty has just recovered from his illness and cannot work hard yet. I will retire today."

The other people also reacted and realized that this scene was really ugly. Emperor Mu Wu probably didn't want them to see it, so it was better for them to leave quickly.

So they all asked to leave.

However, Emperor Mu Wu stopped them and said, "Stay here! No one is allowed to leave!"

Several people looked at each other, but Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not surprised.

Emperor Mu Wu said to Eunuch Li in a deep voice: "Didn't she say that the rebellious son was wrongly accused? Then let her in! Let's make it clear in front of all the ministers!"

Eunuch Li responded and immediately went out to invite someone.

Wang Songshi frowned.

Your Majesty's intention... is clearly that he still wants to give Concubine Ru, or Xiao Chengxuan, another chance!

But they are a family after all, a royal family, so how could they have the right to interfere?
He glanced at Shen Yanchuan beside him and saw that he looked calm, as if he had expected it.

Wang Songshi reacted in an instant——

This kid! He is so cunning!

I took the initiative to say that just now in order to encourage Emperor Mu Wu to keep them!

Originally, if Concubine Ru came to plead for mercy, her tears might soften Emperor Mu Wu's heart. But now with the people around her, even if Concubine Ru could still cry, Emperor Mu Wu would not be too indulgent.

The matter of Xiao Chengxuan involves too many complications. Even if Emperor Mu Wu is willing to let him go, the court officials will not agree to let him off easily!

Before he knew it, Concubine Ru had already walked in, supported by a palace maid.

The moment she saw the two rows of ministers in the room, Concubine Ru's heart trembled.

But the thought of saving her son still prevailed. She didn't care about anything else. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and knelt on the ground, tears falling down.

"Your Majesty! I have no choice but to do this!"

Emperor Mu Wu frowned.

After not seeing her for a while, Concubine Ru had lost a lot of weight. Her former plump and graceful appearance was gone. The well-cut palace dress seemed to be loose on her, and she was obviously much thinner.

After just a few steps, his steps were unsteady, like a willow swaying in the wind, as if he would be blown down at any time.

After all, she was his beloved concubine who had been with him for many years. Seeing her sad appearance, Emperor Mu Wu felt pity.

"Why don't you stay in Yaohua Palace? What are you doing here?"

Concubine Ru stared at him blankly and gave a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, you actually asked like this... Don't you know the reason why I dragged my sick body here?"

Emperor Mu Wu's eyes were stern and no emotion could be seen.

Concubine Ru kowtowed again.

"My son is about to be killed, how can you turn a blind eye? How can you pretend that nothing has happened and wait for death in Yaohua Palace?" She stood up, her eyes red, full of resentment and grief.

"Your Majesty, Chengxuan is also your son! Are you just going to watch him being framed?"

Everyone remained silent and the air around them seemed frozen.

Emperor Mu Wu said coldly: "You said he was framed, do you have any evidence?"

Ru Guifei really had no other choice.

Jiang Zhaoyuan stepped down and Xiao Chengxuan was imprisoned. She tried to contact many people openly and secretly, but those people always had various excuses.

She could see that no one wanted to get involved in this mess.

She had seen that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

After much thought, she could only come to Emperor Mu Wu.

As long as he lets go, no one will dare to take Xiao Chengxuan's life!
Concubine Ru covered her chest and cried, "I know Cheng Xuan. Although he is a little arrogant, he would never dare to have the intention of rebellion! Nanhu is thousands of miles away, how could he have contact with those people? If he really did it, there would definitely be clues left. But Your Majesty! Except for those Nanhu swordsmen who suddenly appeared during the autumn hunt, before that, did Cheng Xuan have any connection with those people? This is clearly a frame-up to put him to death!"

Emperor Mu Wu's eyes were gloomy.

It's not like he had no doubts, but the evidence and testimony presented one after another made it impossible for him not to believe it.

"Since you are so sure, then - how do you explain this case file?"

Concubine Ru was confused: "Case file?"

Emperor Mu Wu threw the case file over and said, "Look for yourself!"

Concubine Ru was confused and uneasy, but she finally picked up the case file.

As soon as she opened it and took a few glances, she was suddenly shocked. In the end, she was already trembling all over and shook her head desperately: "No! Impossible! There is something wrong with this Huang Kun! Those so-called instructions he made... I have never heard of them! He is clearly slandering!"

She never thought that they had sent one of their own people in just to make Xiao Chengxuan's life in Chengxin Lake easier, but in the end it was this person who gave them the fatal blow!
Emperor Mu Wu looked down at her coldly.

"Didn't you personally select and send this Huang Kun over?"

Concubine Ru was speechless for a moment.

Her mind was spinning wildly, trying to come up with a solution, but no words came out.

Wang Songshi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I seem to have some impression of this Huang Kun."

Everyone looked at him.

Emperor Mu Wu frowned: "Have you seen it?"

Wang Songshi thought thoughtfully: "If he has been in Hanzhang Palace, he should be the one I have seen."

This is strange.

"Hanzhang Palace?"

"Yes. Your Majesty may have forgotten that one of the eunuchs serving the Fourth Prince is named Huang Kun."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into dead silence.

The Fourth Prince was still young when the accident happened, and it has been quite a few years since then.

How could Emperor Mu Wu still remember the name of a little eunuch?
Wang Songshi sighed, "At that time, you were furious because the Fourth Prince was injured, and you wanted to punish all the palace servants in Hanzhang Palace. Because the Fourth Prince begged hard, you let him off the hook, but even so, a beating was inevitable. The reason why I remember Huang Kun is because I saw him bribing the guards who were executing him in the corner of the palace so that he would suffer less punishment."

This kind of thing was very common in the palace, but there must be other reasons why Wang Songshi remembered it so clearly.

"The inkstone he used as a bribe was the Fourth Prince's personal property." (End of this chapter)
