Sure enough, the next day was not a peaceful day. Shen Ruochen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voices from next door shouting about injustice.

"Master, don't be afraid, let's stay where we are," said Little Walnut, "I heard that this matter is related to their Li Changzai. I heard that they were taken away last night. I don't know what happened. Today He took away so many palace maids and eunuchs."

"What is Chang doing to harm the emperor? Could it be that he was framed?" Shen Ruochen asked curiously.

"Who knows, we don't dare to ask any more questions, Xiao Lianpeng secretly saw this when he went to get some food!" Xiao Walnut said, "I heard it's really sad."

"I've heard before that you have to shed your skin if you don't die after entering Shenxing Division. I'm afraid Li Chang won't be able to come out." Shen Ruochen shivered instinctively, scaring Little Walnut to rush forward, "Master, let's get out of here quickly. Now that we’ve talked about it, would you like me to roast sweet potatoes with you?”

Shen Ruochen shook his head instinctively, "Don't draw attention to yourself, just stay alone these days."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden loud noise, and the door was kicked open from the outside, and more than a dozen guards strode in.

These guards all carried knives. As soon as they entered the door, the leader waved his hand and arrested people when they came up. Even the little walnut was held down.

"Bold! What are you going to do?" Shen Ruochen shouted loudly, "Who let you in?"

"Concubine Shen, these lowly officials are here at the request of the concubine, to capture the murderer of the emperor."

"Didn't you already arrest the people from Xianfu Palace? Why are you still here?" Shen Ruochen took out his master's money, trying to scare them, "Let them go!"

"I'm afraid it won't work," but the guards were not afraid at all. Not only were they not afraid, they said, "Ms. Shen Bin, I'm afraid you have to come with us, please?"

"Me?" Shen Ruochen took a breath, "Catch me?"

"Empress, let's go."

"Let me go... I..."

"Let go of our master!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Being locked up in a dark wing for who knows how long, Shen Ruochen felt like he was going crazy after being only delivered food and water once a day, both delivered through a dark hole in the wall. No one could be seen or spoken to. .

Even the windows of this house were tightly blocked with wooden bars and boards. The little bits of light that came through were probably stubborn, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get in.

Shen Ruochen looked helplessly at the roof, wondering how long he would be locked up. He had already said everything he needed to say that day, proving that the matter had nothing to do with him, but why hadn't he been let out yet? Could it be that he was being plotted against again?

The days in this palace are really like years!

I don’t know what happened to Little Walnut and Little Lianpeng. If I am like this, will they be punished? And Sister Jin Fei, will you be impulsive? The emperor already has a problem with her, so don’t do anything stupid!

Shen Ruochen sat in the hay, hugging his legs helplessly, as if this would make him safer. I prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that they would all be safe.

Suddenly, the door opened from the outside, and a strong sunlight shone in. Shen Ruochen couldn't open his eyes at all.

"Shen Bin, do you have anything else to say? Tell me quickly!"

Shen Ruochen struggled to adapt to the light, and it took him a long time to see Concubine Shu coming in.

"My dearest concubine, I have nothing to say. I am unjustly accused."

"Li Changzai has already recruited me, why are you still holding out?" Concubine Shu snorted, "Do you really want to be punished for recruiting me?"

"You want to give in?" Shen Ruochen looked at Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, I remember that I have never offended you. Why do you want to harm me?"

"Harming you?" Concubine Shu snorted, "I'm not harming you. I'm just trying the case in compliance with the order. Moreover, the Queen Mother has issued an edict that you...can be tortured!"

"you!"

"If you want to blame, it's your bad luck. Who told you to offend the eldest princess and why you have to be virtuous and not worthy of the position?" Concubine Shu's palace servants brought a chair and Concubine Shu sat on it. "Actually, I The palace doesn’t want you to suffer like those slaves, so I’m here to advise you to go into custody as soon as possible.”

"Minions?" Shen Ruochen became anxious and ran towards Concubine Shu, "You...you tortured them?"

But before she got five steps away, she was grabbed by two strong nuns and couldn't move.

"Tell me! Did you torture them?" Shen Ruochen cried anxiously, "What on earth did you do to them?"

"Oh, there is such a deep love between master and servant!" Concubine Shu snorted, "It's okay to tell you, it's true that he has been sentenced to death. Those who have entered the Shenxing Department will not be punished, or else they will not tell the truth. !”

"How are they doing?" Shen Ruochen struggled hard, "How can you torture them? I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with me, why do you want to torture them to extract a confession?"

"You can only find out things by torture!"

"Under severe punishment, there must be unjust cases!" Shen Ruochen gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have to hold this matter on my head?"

"Shen Bin, please stop struggling in vain. Li Changzai has already said that the two of you conspired to do this, and a young eunuch in your palace has already recruited him, saying that he did it."

"Nonsense! Impossible!"

"Concubine Shen, don't force me to torture you!"

"I want to confront them! I want to see them!" Shen Ruochen stared at Concubine Shu, "Even if you go to the yamen gate, you have to confront them, right? You can't say who is the one, right?"

"You are still struggling so insignificantly. Does it make sense?"

"I was unjustly accused!" Shen Ruochen said, "If you don't agree, I won't admit it, even if I'm sentenced to death! You must not be easy to deal with, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Confrontation!"

Concubine Shu shook her sleeves and said, "Then we can't fight, Li Changzai is already dead."

"What? Did you beat her to death?" Shen Ruochen took a step back in fright. "How could you do this..."

"Stop talking nonsense here," said Concubine Shu. "It was Li Changzai who committed suicide. It has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, Concubine Shen, you can't talk nonsense, don't accuse our empress unjustly."

"It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide. How could she..." Thinking of this, Shen Ruochen hurriedly said, "What about those people in my palace? What did you do to them? I want to see them! I want to see Little Walnut !”

"Who do you think you are, that you can see me whenever you want?" Concubine Shu scolded, "Let me explain your problem first! Did you go to Xianfu Palace that day, or did you instruct others to go to Xianfu Palace? "

"From now on, I won't say a word if I don't see them!" Shen Ruochen looked straight at Concubine Shu, "If you want me to talk, just take me there!"
