"Suicide?" Shen Cangzhu's expression changed, "How do you view people?"
"He's not dead, he was saved." Shouzhuo knew that he had done something wrong and was very upset.
"The younger one also thought about it. In order to prevent her from committing suicide, I checked her teeth to make sure there was no poison, and stuffed something into her mouth."
"It turned out that it wasn't blocked and she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide. Fortunately, she found it early and it didn't lead to a big mistake."
Biting her tongue to commit suicide does not mean that she will die just by biting it casually. It was also difficult to operate, which is why she did not succeed.
"My mouth was full of blood from the bite, but I didn't die and I can still talk."
Shouzhuo said, "It looks like she is determined to die and doesn't intend to say anything anymore. Shen Jun may have to go to ask for something."
The people had been brought back to the palace, and it was their turn to guard Chu Xingchen an hour later. There were indeed doubts in his heart, so Shen Cangzhu simply decided to go back for interrogation first.
He had to find out who was trying to harm His Majesty. No matter who it was, he would not let it go.
Even if this person is...brother.
Shen Cangzhu tightened his hands and turned around to look at Xiao Wang, who had not followed him politely, but his eyes were searching, "Xiao Jun, I will go back first."
After he finished speaking, he left. Xiao Wang looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shen Cangzhu returned to Mingxuan Hall with a sullen face and went to see people immediately.
The maid, who was wearing the clothes of a monk and did not have a single hair on her head, saw his eyes brighten, then dimmed, and her eyes were replaced by anxiety.
Shen Cangzhu looked at her with a stern face, but before she could speak, she was already trembling all over.
"Seeing your reaction, it seems that His Majesty's assassination was really related to you. Why don't you explain why you assassinated His Majesty!"
The maid shook her head desperately and opened her mouth full of blood, "No."
Her tongue was injured and her speech was a little slurred.
"At this point, you still want to lie." Shen Cangzhu's hands were trembling, "Walnut, I'll give you one last chance."
This maid is Walnut. She once disappeared from his world, but now she forced her way in like this.
"Are you jealous of His Majesty, so you deliberately assassinated her?"
"No, no, my maid knows that the young master likes Your Majesty, how dare you hurt her? It's an accident, everything is an accident."
"Accident? Do you think I will believe it?" Shen Cangzhu looked at Walnut, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger and murderous intent.
If looks could kill, Walnut would have died thousands of times.
How could Walnut not see that this time, the young master really wanted to cut her into pieces?
But she obviously just means well.
Walnut knelt on the ground and was heartbroken, "Young Master, it's true, it's really an accident. I never thought about actually hurting Your Majesty, I just wanted to help you..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Cangzhu grabbed her collar and pulled her up.
"You said you would help me?"
Walnut wanted to shut up, but it was too late. She really didn't want to see Shen Cangzhu disappointed and angry. Qiqi Aiai explained,
"Sir, I really just want to help you."
Shen Cangzhu felt uncontrollably irritated, "Help me, why do you want to assassinate Your Majesty?"
"It's better to say that you are resentful that I didn't want you and that I kicked you out of the Shen family, so you deliberately took revenge on me."
The more he spoke, the harder his men became, "But why did you hurt His Majesty in retaliation for me? If you wanted to retaliate against me, why did you attack His Majesty?"
Walnut was strangled so hard that she couldn't breathe. This was the first time she saw Shen Cangzhu like this. She became more and more panicked and struggled to speak.
"No, sir, I didn't mean to take revenge."
"Then why? Who ordered you?"
Walnut raised his head and tried his best to breathe.
"No one instigated it. It was my servant who heard that the young master is in a difficult situation in the palace, so I wanted to help you."
Walnut looked at Shen Cangzhu, his eyes full of loyalty, and his face was filled with tears because of self-blame and fear, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was so pitiful.
Shen Cangzhu was indifferent, "I heard? Who did you listen to?"
Walnut paused and hesitated.
"It's Shen Cantong, right?" Shen Cangzhu's tone was cold and affirmative.
Walnut was originally rescued by Shen Cantong and recognized Shen Cantong as his savior.
She also has her own principles for repaying gratitude. If she says she can only repay Shen Cangzhu in this life, she will repay Shen Cangtong in the next life.
Shen Cantong didn't need her repayment, he just asked her to be honest.
Originally, I wanted to wait for the news to subside before sending her to Zhuangzi or selling her. However, she later served her very attentively and did not bother Shen Cangzhu. She seemed to have thought better of it and let her stay and serve her again. .
Walnut is waiting in Tongyuan, who else can he listen to but Shen Cantong.
Shen Cangzhu threw away the walnut, took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "What did he say?"
The walnut fell to the ground and he coughed to recover. He heard the meaning behind Shen Cangzhu's words. Thinking of the rumors about the quarrel between the direct brothers in the house, he felt anxious and said hurriedly.
"It was the maid who was worried and asked after the eldest son. The eldest son also thought about the young master..."
Shen Cangzhu said he was recuperating, but in fact he was quarreling with Mrs. Song every day.
If you avoid Mrs. Song, you will get drunk. When you are drunk, Walnut asks, and he will tell you what is on his mind.
"As expected, the emperor is ruthless and throws it away after use. The queen originally wanted to deal with the Shen family."
Shen Cangtong regretted it greatly afterwards, and really couldn't understand Chu Xingchen. Thinking about it later, he felt that Chu Xingchen himself had a problem with the Shen family.
"She has long wanted to teach the Shen family a lesson."
"Otherwise, what Mrs. Huang did has been done by so many women in the inner house, so why did you stick to Ms. Huang?"
"First they will hold on to Mr. Huang, and then they will hold on to me."
"I was just being plotted. There are many people like me who unexpectedly have children. The Shen family is not the only one who doesn't recognize them. Why are they only holding on to me?"
"It was because it involved Mr. Zhou, who was favored in the palace, that she took advantage of the opportunity."
"She just wants to give the Shen family a good look, otherwise she wouldn't be so harsh on the Shen family for such a trivial matter!"
Walnut didn't understand very much at the time. He was only worried about Shen Cangzhu and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Will Mr. Shen be affected?"
"Of course he will. He must be disgusted by the Queen now."
"He is just not favored, and that's why our Shen family has reached this point."
"He was too proud and couldn't let go of his body to please the Queen, so he only let the man named Zhou win over the Queen."
"I don't know how to please the Queen, and I also like the Queen. Even the Shen family doesn't dare to protect her. Now he knows how powerful she is."
Shen Cantong's tone at that time was filled with gloating.
"The Shen family is like this now. He is finished. He is not far away from being relegated to the cold palace. Even if he is not relegated to the cold palace, he will still be treated like a cold palace. You can watch what happens to him in the future."
Just because of what Shen Cangtong said, Walnut was worried about Shen Cangzhu, and kept chasing him that night.
Shen Cangzhu finally understood the whole story, but he still didn't understand.
"He feels that Your Majesty is deliberately trying to deal with the Shen family. He thinks that His Majesty will be detrimental to me, and then you will assassinate Your Majesty? To avenge me?"
He thought it was ridiculous like a joke.
"No, it's not!" Walnut shook her head in denial. Under Shen Cangzhu's gaze, her voice became smaller and smaller.
"My maid... My maid just wants to help the young master win back His Majesty's heart, regain His Majesty's favor, and make the Young Master happy."
The best love is to fulfill him, and she is here to fulfill him.
At this moment, a blank appeared on Shen Cangzhu's face.
