After Concubine Shu was called, she still looked aggrieved. When she came in first, she bowed to Concubine Duan and apologized.
Concubine Duan said, "Concubine Shu, please don't accuse me first. This is in front of the emperor, as if I am bullying you. It's better for us to make it clear!"
"emperor……"
"Noble Concubine!" Emperor Yuan De said, "Concubine Shu has always had a good temper and is not an unreasonable person. Listen to her slowly!"
Concubine Duan had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Concubine Shu, you ask someone to ask Yuzhu who is next to me to ask questions. If it is someone else, that's it. But Yuzhu is my dowry. If there is no evidence, I will ask Duan I can’t let you put her to death!”
"The imperial concubine is joking. The emperor asked me to try the case, and I have been thinking very hard about it. How can I dare to use severe punishment?" Concubine Shu said softly and softly, "Under such severe punishment, an unjust case will inevitably occur, even if it means nothing to me. Knowledge, you know this too.”
Emperor Yuande nodded with satisfaction, "So I still trust you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu thanked her. When the two people's eyes met, they were full of affection, and Concubine Duan felt depressed for a while.
Thinking that she didn't know what Concubine Shu knew, Concubine Duan asked directly, "Concubine Shu, what did you find out about that girl from Chuxiugong?"
Concubine Shu said hurriedly, "Replying to the imperial concubine, that girl is very strict with her words. No matter how much Aunt Jingqi tries to judge her, she won't say anything."
"Then just kill her, why are you still here!" After Concubine Duan finished speaking, she realized what she said was wrong and hurriedly said to Emperor Yuande, "This concubine is so impatient that the emperor is laughing at her."
"It doesn't matter, I know your temper. I just let you do what you want. Recently..." Emperor Yuande paused and glanced at Concubine Duan meaningfully, "Forget it, let's listen to Concubine Shu first. I I also want to know how the investigation is going these days.”
Concubine Shu then continued, "Returning to the emperor, this girl named Qiushi is indeed tough-talking. Aunt Jingqi used a lot of tricks. She admitted that she did what happened to Concubine Jia, and no one instigated her. But she doesn’t admit anything about Shen Changzai!”
"What happened to Concubine Jia is enough to kill her several times!" Emperor Yuande said angrily, "A slave dares to kill his master? He really deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"Yes, the emperor is right. I am also thinking about how a slave could think of killing his master and do it so unknowingly. I feel it is impossible. There must be someone behind this, but I don't dare to do it. No matter how much I ask, I can't get anything out."
"Then what else is there to ask?" Concubine Duan couldn't help but said, "It must have been that Sister Jia Fei was not good to her when she was alive. This slave was filled with resentment, so she poisoned her."
"It's normal for the master to beat and scold his slaves. Is it possible that everyone is so courageous? Then isn't there chaos in the palace?" Concubine Shu smiled faintly, "The noble concubine believes this, but I don't believe it."
"Then what did you find out?"
"My dear concubine, don't be anxious!" Concubine Shu turned to Emperor Yuan De and said slowly, "I am just wondering why this girl refuses to reveal the person who instigated her behind the scenes? Is it possible that there is something unspeakable?"
Concubine Shu slowly took a sip of tea and continued, "I thought that the first thing that could scare her was a certain master in the palace, and secondly, I'm afraid it was her family. The people in this palace, I asked After a lot of searching, nothing was found. So I sent people to find her family, but guess what?"
Emperor Yuande glanced at Concubine Shu, "What's wrong?"
"Her family members are all gone. I asked the neighbors and they said that one night, someone took them away and never came back." Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Yuande and Concubine Duan, "Your Majesty, My dear concubine, do you think this is unreasonable?"
Concubine Duan subconsciously clenched the armrests of the chair, "Could it be that they have moved?"
"No!" Concubine Shu shook her head, "I haven't moved these things, and I sent someone to look at them. There are clothes hanging in the yard. Imagine who moves and doesn't want these things? This It’s against common sense.”
"What do you mean?" Emperor Yuande asked.
Concubine Shu directly stretched out two fingers and said, "I think there are only two possibilities. One is that this family had an accident together, but I also asked, and there is no missing person. The other is that these people Someone kidnapped me, so I need to collect my things before they come."
Emperor Yuande nodded, "It makes sense."
"The emperor made sense, so I continued," Concubine Shu smiled at Concubine Duan, and said, "Then I had a target, so I started to investigate. It doesn't matter if I investigate. I found it in the imperial concubine’s palace.”
"You are talking nonsense!" Concubine Duan shouted loudly, "What does this have to do with me?"
"My dear concubine, don't get excited, please listen to what I have to say!"
"Okay, tell me! You'd better tell me one, two, three, otherwise don't blame me for not saving face for you!" Concubine Duan gritted her teeth.
Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Yuan De with a look of grievance. Emperor Yuan De said, "You have a bad temper. Listen to Concubine Shu!"
"Yes!" Concubine Duan had no choice but to say.
Concubine Shu bowed and said, "I found out that Yuzhu, who is with you, has a cousin who is hanging out at Wuchengkou. On the night of the accident, someone saw this man appearing near Qiushi's house. But I can wait for you. When I went to catch the man, I was a step too late and the man had already run away. Therefore, I could only send someone to call Yuzhu to question him."
Concubine Duan was pounding in her heart, and Yuzhu beside her was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "I have a cousin, but I have been in the palace for many years, and I have several layers of relationship with my cousin. So what that person does has nothing to do with it." It doesn’t matter if you are a slave!”
"Really?" Concubine Shu mocked, "What Miss Yuzhu said is not true. As far as I know, you and your cousin have met outside the palace, not once or twice, but in front of the emperor." In front of me, will you bring witnesses?"
"This..." Yuzhu was a little embarrassed and said in fear, "Although I have seen this before, I have never..."
"You will know if you have to go to trial," Concubine Shu stood up and bowed to Concubine Duan, "Concubine Duan, look at me now, can I take away the girl Yuzhu next to you?"
Without waiting for Concubine Duan to speak, Emperor Yuande waved his hand and said, "Take it away! This time I want to see who is so bold and dares to do evil and create such a mess in the harem! He also dares to murder the emperor's heirs and concubines. It's simply... What a heinous crime! Take it away! Take it away!"
"Your Majesty, please save me!" Yuzhu shouted.
Concubine Duan couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, these evidences are nothing at all, Yuzhu..."
"It's nothing, so I brought Miss Yuzhu to ask!" Concubine Shu said, "No need to worry, noble concubine, I will treat Miss Yuzhu well."
"Why should I be treated well!" Concubine Duan's eyes turned red and she said, "After entering the Shenxing Division, how can anyone come out well? By then..."
