Shen Ruyu's heart skipped a beat and she clutched the emperor's clothes tightly. Under his invisible gaze, those pitiful eyes immediately became darker.

"What did I hide from Your Majesty?"

Her tone was smooth, with a hint of hoarseness.

The emperor didn't hear anything at all. When he heard this, he patted her arm and said, "Your family is related to the family of the former Prime Minister Shen Qiantang, right?"

Hearing what he said, Shen Ruyu gradually smiled and returned to the fragile Concubine Li. She pretended to be guilty and nodded cowardly, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! I didn't hide it from you on purpose, it was because I was hiding it from you at that time. As soon as I came to Beijing, I heard about the things that the Prime Minister's Mansion had done, and that everyone in the family was executed... I was afraid, so I didn't dare to mention this matter."

"Although my concubine and his family are related by ancestors, they have never had any contact with each other! Your Majesty can go check it out!"

After touching the impatient man comfortingly, the emperor's expression softened and he smiled softly, "I know, I checked from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't be so reassured that you stay with me."

Shen Ruyu lowered his head and pulled his lips mockingly, so that the emperor could not see it.

She said how could the emperor believe her so easily? It turned out that he had sent someone to secretly check her long ago.

Fortunately, she had already prepared this move.

"I know that you have nothing to do with him, but I was also afraid that others would trouble you about this matter, so I never mentioned it. I didn't expect that it would be exposed now."

The emperor sighed.

"It doesn't matter, as long as your majesty trusts me." Shen Ruyu leaned in his arms and said softly.

After a while, she pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I don't know who spread the news about the mark on my chest. I don't know Shen Qiantang's daughter, I don't know her at all. She must have wanted your majesty to be suspicious of me, so that she You will benefit from it..."

"Who would have thought that the commotion was so big that even His Majesty was threatened by those ministers. I don't know what he was worried about."

The speaker was intentional and the listener was also intentional. The emperor's eyes darkened and became dark and unclear upon hearing the words.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore, I'm here for everything."

Shen Ruyu nodded with satisfaction.

……

The fact that Concubine Li had no mark on her body caused an uproar in the whole court, so the emperor announced her life experience and bluntly stated that this matter had nothing to do with her, and that he meant to protect her.

Various signals set off alarm bells for those who knew the truth.

Lin Mansion, study room.

"Didn't the princess personally inspect it at that time? There should be a mark on it. Why is there no mark on it?"

Lin Qiming frowned, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands, his face looking very bad.

Originally they thought this was a good opportunity to make the emperor suspect Shen Ruyu, but who would have thought that it would turn out like this. Not only did they not get rid of Shen Ruyu, but they also made the emperor believe in her even more by some strange combination of circumstances.

"It was us who alerted the snake." Lin Zhiyu sighed, his eyebrows darkening, "We thought that knowing that there was a mark on her chest was conclusive evidence, but during the period after the incident, she was also able to find a way to remove the mark on her body. "

"and……"

Lin Zhiyu raised his eyes, "We all overlooked one thing."

"If Shen Ruyu really has a mark on her body, how could the emperor who spends time with her day and night not know about it?"

From the beginning, he protected her in front of everyone, even after hearing the rumors. He must have known for a long time that she did not have the mark on her body that the rumors said, so he frankly asked people to have her body tested.

It turns out that this is indeed the case, and there is nothing wrong with Shen Ruyu.

"She must have tampered with Shen Ruyu's life experience."

It seemed like they had a hold on her, but in fact everything was under her control.

Lin Qiming pursed his lips and frowned, "Then what did the princess see before?"

Is there no mark in the first place, or has Shen Ruyu concealed it every night since entering the palace?

If it was the latter, they marveled at Shen Ruyu's precautions and caution.

"It's useless now whether it's there or not." Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "The most important bargaining chip now is only the bottle that Bao'er brought back."

As long as they can successfully recreate it, they can give Shen Ruyu a fatal blow. At the same time, in the Changqing Palace.

[Damn, it must have been covered up with that disguise! 】

When she heard the news, Lin Baoer almost jumped up.

How could she forget this thing!

It is said that things are kept secret. It is her fault. She should not have revealed it to Concubine Yun first. She should have found an opportunity to take off Shen Ruyu's clothes and see how she could hide it.

Lin Baoer patted his forehead regretfully and kept walking back and forth on the bed.

[There is no problem with her life experience, and there is no problem with her birthmark. It seems that this trick is of no use. She has avoided them all. How can she get her pigtails out after that? 】

Lin Baoer frowned in thought, completely ignoring the sleeping green snake beside the bed, and directly stepped on its tail, causing Xiaoqing pain so much that the whole snake coiled up in a circle.

"hiss!"

"Ah! Xiaoqing! I'm sorry, sorry!"

Lin Baoer quickly checked Xiaoqing's condition and touched its snake's tail guiltily, feeling guilty, "Accidentally... accidentally..."

Xiaoqing shook her tail in aggrieved manner, slapped Lin Baoer on the back of her hand and climbed out of bed.

Lin Baoer touched his hand nonchalantly and followed him in a flattering manner.

"Xiaoqing~ I'm sorry~ I didn't mean it~"

"I just think too much about things..."

Xiaoqing still ignored her and climbed onto the climbing frame, curling up on it, feeling miserable.

The climbing frame was a bit high and Lin Baoer couldn't reach it, so she had no choice but to continue apologizing from below.

"How about I ask someone to catch a lot of frogs for you tomorrow?"

Maybe the frogs in the palace have a different taste, and Green Snake likes to eat them recently.

Unfortunately, due to the small number, it can only eat two per day.

The green snake raised its head after hearing this, stared at her for a long time, and shook its tail.

Lin Baoer was so blessed that he stretched out four fingers and said, "Four! Can I give you four?"

The green snake didn't move.

Lin Baoer was helpless and stretched out another hand, "Six?"

"You won't be able to digest any more."

In this way, the green snake climbed down from the climbing frame with satisfaction and wrapped itself around Lin Baoer's leg.

This is what it means to express intimacy.

Seeing this, Lin Baoer smiled helplessly and could only let it go.

But after lingering for a while, the green snake suddenly let it go and quickly crawled towards the door.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Baoer was confused and chose to follow out.

The Green Snake usually doesn't go out at night unless Lin Baoer asks it to do something.

After searching for a while behind the outer hall, Lin Baoer saw it in a bush.

For a moment, her eyes widened, and then she took a step back.
