Without the emperor opening his mouth, Shen Ning could clearly understand that biting others also requires intelligence, but Cui'er obviously didn't have any backup plans and was full of mistakes.
"Here, he dares to frame others even when he is about to die. I will execute him."
Cui'er's face changed drastically, she suddenly vomited out a large mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and stopped moving.
The imperial doctor looked forward and said, "Reporting to the Emperor, Cui'er is biting her tongue out of fear of sin."
This is really smart. If you want to die through torture, it would be easier to bite your tongue and kill yourself.
But in this case, the clue is broken.
Targeting Shen Ning one after another, no matter how confused the emperor was, he already knew who the murderer was behind the scenes.
However, he has no evidence.
Even if there is evidence, the pros and cons must be weighed to determine whether it is worth investigating for Shen Ning.
Obviously, the emperor didn't think so, "Someone, drag her down and check the slaves of Cining Palace to see if there are any suspicious people and the origin of the heartbroken grass."
It was painless and it seemed that the matter was settled just like that.
How could Shen Ning fail to see his favoritism? If she hadn't been careful, she wouldn't have been able to explain it clearly today, but what could she do?
Behind the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. When Xiao Weijing starts the killing game one day, she will have to add fire behind it to kill these idiots.
After rescue, Li Zhuzhen saved the day. When she learned that she had experienced life and death, her expression was extremely complicated. She secretly made eye contact with Shen Ning and thanked her again for saving her life.
When something happened again, the Queen Mother's rare good mood was broken. She sighed deeply and said, "The backyard of the palace is becoming increasingly unstable. There are all kinds of nasty people. Even the royal bloodline dares to cause harm."
The Queen is the master of the harem, and the Queen Mother's words are undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"What the Queen Mother said is that my son has been unwell and neglected during this period. She will definitely put the harem in order when she returns."
The Queen Mother came from this road, and she has never seen any dirty tricks. In addition, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together for decades, so how can we not know her thoughts.
She did not attack again, but smiled at Shen Ning and said, "A Ning, you do have a delicate heart, otherwise the Ai family and others would have been in trouble long ago. I wonder what reward you want?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Shen Ning replied, "This is just a matter of duty. Anyone would do it. Besides, we are close relatives and we don't dare to take credit and ask for rewards."
"If you do right, you will be rewarded; if you do wrong, you will be punished. Clear rewards and punishments are the rules." The Queen Mother said with four taels of gold, "Your Majesty, are you right?"
"That's what the Queen Mother said." The emperor praised her. Princess Jin's medical skills are amazing, she is calm in the face of danger, and she is wise and meticulous. She really deserves a heavy reward. What do you want?"
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It also accumulates merit for me, so I don't dare to ask for anything more."
The Queen Mother had already spoken, and the more she refused, the emperor would not give her anything, not to mention that she was very discerning and never asked for it.
"You are very kind to the Queen Mother and the King of Dian. Since you can't think of a specific reward, I can grant you a wish. As long as it does not violate national laws and ethics, it can be fulfilled."
Shen Ning saluted, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
The opportunity you've been waiting for day and night has finally arrived.
Harmony does not violate national laws and ethics, hahaha!!!
Shen Ning raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Weijing proudly.
After being husband and wife for so long, even if they were a mismatched couple, how could Xiao Weijing not see her trick, and his face suddenly turned pale.
If she dares, he will never let her go!
Haha, what's there to be afraid of? She still holds his and Li Shu in her hands. As long as the emperor nods in agreement, the matter will be settled.
Shen Ning knelt down and asked for the order, "Your Majesty, I happen to have an unkind request, and I hope my father will consider it."
"Shen Ning!" Xiao Weijing was anxious and reached out to pull her, "Stop talking nonsense."
It was agreed that within one year, if he cured his disease, she would be freed, so she had to come here?
Shen Ning brushed his hand away and knelt, unwilling to get up.
Xiao Weijing was so angry that she even wanted to strangle her to death.
The emperor looked at the two people and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
King Jin is cold by nature and always speaks and acts calmly. Today's gaffe is not like his temperament.
Judging from his expression, what Shen Ning wants is definitely not simple.
He thought for a moment, "But what's going on between you and your wife?"
Shen Ning's eyes flashed and she spoke loudly: "Father, rumors are flying all over the place about what happened the night before. People inside and outside the palace are talking about the prince's identity endlessly. I really have trouble sleeping and eating. Today, I specially ask my father for your permission to restore the prince's innocence."
The Queen Mother turned pale.
All the concubines looked wonderful.
The emperor was furious, "How outrageous!"
Xiao Weijing knelt with Shen Ning, "Father, please calm down, it was Shen Ning who overstepped his bounds."
Since it was not Heli, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
No one thought that what Shen Ning wanted was to find out Xiao Weijing's true identity, which was really audacious.
The emperor was so angry that his face turned thick with anger. The queen fanned the flames and said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. Princess Jin is in trouble. She didn't mean it. She just feels sorry for Prince Jin and is afraid that the rumors will hurt the father-son relationship between you and Prince Jin."
Princess Jin, the rumors cannot be true. There are records of all the concubines attending the bed and sleeping. There are medical records for checking the pulse of Concubine Yi when she is pregnant. Prince Jin’s life experience cannot be false. Those who gossip have been punished. You Please apologize to the emperor quickly and don’t mention this matter again.”
Hey, who are you showing this to? One is fanning the flames, the other is igniting the fire.
The initiator this time was the empress, who wanted to quickly eliminate Xiao Weijing and clear the way for the prince. However, the emperor was both responsible and independent, choosing to turn a blind eye.
In his heart, Xiao Weijing was a bastard. The reason why he was unwilling to shed blood for a blood test was not only because he was concerned about the royal family's reputation, but also because he was afraid that if she was exposed, Concubine Yi would be executed due to public opinion.
But he was unwilling to do so, and wanted to use rumors to beat Xiao Weijing and choke his fate. At the same time, he secretly monitored his actions. If Xiao Weijing really took action, it would also be proven that he was a bastard, and he might be able to get other evidence to blackmail him.
This is the crux of the emperor's contradiction. He is extremely confident in his heart, but he is afraid to face it.
To him, yes or no is not that important, he just doesn't have the courage to face it.
He didn't like it, but Shen Ning didn't like the feeling of the sword hanging above her head even more, which was why she risked her life to speak.
To this day, the emperor can't wait to get rid of Xiao Weijing quickly, and she is the pawn arranged by Shen Renhuai next to the villain. To put it bluntly, she is the emperor's pawn.
From the day she became a chess piece, no matter whether she succeeded or failed, she could no longer have freedom. If she failed, she would die. She became...a person who knows too many secrets and does not deserve to live.
Therefore, even if she asked for an order, the emperor would not agree.
The only solution now is to find out Xiao Weijing's identity and completely change the current predicament. Only then can a comeback be possible.
"Your Majesty, I naturally know that the prince is your flesh and blood, but most of the minions are ignorant and the common people don't know the real reason. Most of them just follow what they say and follow the wind. This not only involves the prince's innocence, but also tarnishes the reputation of the royal family. , allowing people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, I am afraid that it will cause trouble and cause trouble in the future, making it difficult for people to guard against it, so please give me your permission, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked livid and stared at Xiao Weijing and the two, "You think so too?"
