The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 82
Qingchen said lightly: "Sister, don't worry, just look down. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, this play is much more exciting than the one on the stage."

Ye Hanyu nodded solemnly.

The queen over there gave Concubine Shu a cold glance, got up and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that Duke Shen be imprisoned first, and then Dali Temple should investigate the matter strictly. Youyou's mouth, even if it's to avoid suspicion, Shen Guogong should be detained first."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she looked at the queen angrily, and said sharply: "The emperor and the ancestors have said they trust our Shen family, so why is the queen still relentless? Does the queen dare to question the old ancestor's will?"

The queen ignored Concubine Shu, and said to the emperor calmly: "The concubine just thinks that whether or not this matter has something to do with Mr. Shen, he invited the troupe after all, so he can't get away with it. The concubine asked There is nothing wrong with the emperor doing this."

No matter how reasonable the queen said, the emperor knew very well in his heart that before Shen Guogong tried his best to ensure that he sat on the dragon chair, even after he came to the world, he did not compromise with the queen mother's family, and he was only loyal to him from the beginning to the end, assisting He never had any second thoughts, if it was said that he had the intention of killing the king, he would absolutely not believe it.In the final analysis, the Shen family can only rely on the emperor's way so far, they will not be so stupid as to dig their own graves to do such a selfless thing.

Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Shu said urgently: "Your Majesty, it is true that the troupe was invited by my father, but my father is not stupid enough to install assassins in the troupe he invited, even the queen said to avoid suspicion, Doesn't my father understand this truth? Maybe someone deliberately set the blame on this matter, wanting to bring our Shen family into injustice."

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, and said to the queen: "What Concubine Shu said is also reasonable. Shen Guogong is the hero who helped Kuang to help me become the throne. I think I have treated him well, and he has no reason to kill the king. How about this, there is no need to put him in prison, and let Shen Guogong stay at home for the time being." Take a few days off and wait for the matter to be clarified before making a conclusion."

Concubine Shu's face changed slightly, the emperor said that being idle at home was nothing more than house arrest in disguise, no matter what the facts were, at least the Shen family's reputation would be damaged during the investigation.If someone makes trouble and gets involved in other matters, wouldn't the Shen family be in jeopardy then?With this in mind, Concubine Shu tightened the handkerchief in her hand and pleaded: "Your Majesty, you just said that you believed in my father, how can you... This is obviously because someone deliberately framed our Shen family..."

The emperor gave him a comforting look, and Concubine Shu saw that there was no suspicion in the emperor's eyes, but the usual gentleness and indifference, and no intention of venting his anger, she felt a little relieved.But the queen frowned and said in a cold voice: "Concubine Shu, you are now a concubine of the emperor. How is it proper to take care of your Shen family one by one? When you enter the palace, you don't think about how to serve the emperor, but you only care about the Shen family. Is it plausible?"

Concubine Shu raised her head angrily, because the emperor's attitude also gained confidence, and the tone of her speech to the queen returned to the previous condescending disdain, and said in a manly voice: "The empress don't bother to provoke, the emperor knows how the concubine treats the emperor. If the empress wants to add insult to injury at this time, she will lose her grace."

The queen was furious when she heard the words, "Presumptuous, I am the queen, and I have always acted fairly and justly. In order to exonerate the Shen family, how dare you slander me?"

Concubine Shu was about to open her mouth when the emperor shouted: "Don't quarrel anymore, Concubine Shu doesn't need to worry, what the queen said is reasonable, just let Shen Guogong rest at home for a few days, after the truth is found out, if it is really wronged, I will naturally return Let Shen Guogong return to the court to assist the government."

Concubine Shu said in a low voice with an aggrieved face: "Yes, this concubine obeys the order, and this concubine believes that the emperor will definitely return my father's innocence."

Because the ancestor's birthday banquet was still going on, the emperor didn't want to spoil the Empress Dowager's happiness, so he ordered all the troupe to be escorted to Dali Temple for trial.

Concubine Shu stared at the queen secretly, her sharp eyes seemed capable of killing people, but the queen seemed unaware, drinking tea with her head down calmly.
