Chapter 205 The Evidence Is Conclusive

After a while, Concubine Shu rushed over anxiously.

But of course he was innocent and didn't know anything. He still stepped forward to look at Shen Ruochen. Shen Ruochen was so frightened that he pointed and hid, "Don't come here, don't come here."

"What's wrong with this concubine sister? Is she scared?" Concubine Shu frowned.

"Your Majesty, stop the investigation, stop the investigation, just... you can just close the concubine's palace, or... or you can let the concubine live in the cold palace, then it will be safe."

Emperor Yuande frowned, glanced at Concubine Shu, lowered his head and said to Shen Ruochen, "Why are you so scared? Do you know something?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" Shen Ruochen shook his head desperately, his eyes flickering, not daring to look in the direction of Concubine Shu.

Emperor Yuande said anxiously, "If you know something, just tell me! Don't worry, I will make the decision for you!"

"Yes, sister, just tell me what you know," Concubine Shu looked at Shen Ruochen and said, "Do you know who did it? Tell me, the emperor is here, what are you afraid of!"

Shen Ruochen secretly raised his head and glanced at Concubine Shu cautiously, "Then I have to ask Concubine Shu."

"Me?" Concubine Shu pointed at herself in horror, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Yes, I remember that I have done nothing to offend the imperial concubine. Why does the imperial concubine want to kill me over and over again?" Shen Ruochen unexpectedly tilted his head and lay on Emperor Yuan De's shoulder.

She cried and whispered, "Your Majesty, please help me! I don't want to die."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Emperor Yuande's voice softened instantly. Seeing Shen Ruochen being so devoted to him, he felt even more heartbroken and pitiful. He gently patted Shen Ruochen's back with his hand and said softly, "I will definitely catch the murderer for you, and I will definitely protect you."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Ruochen sobbed and cried, breaking Emperor Yuande's heart with tears, "Watch your eyes, don't cry anymore, I will try the case for you right now."

Concubine Shu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused of this matter. This matter has nothing to do with me at all! You can't listen to my concubine's words!"

"I am not a foolish king!" Emperor Yuande said impatiently, "But since you are now co-managing the Sixth Palace, you must have something to do with this matter."

"This... Your Majesty, you are trying to inflict a crime!" Concubine Shu was humiliated by Emperor Yuande. She turned pale with anger and argued anxiously.

"The imperial concubine said this was a crime to be punished, but can you say that you have nothing to do with that little Shunzi?" Shen Ruochen raised his head and let tears flow down his face, "Don't deny it in front of the emperor!"

"What are you admitting to me! Those messy Xiao Shunzi and Xiaokangzi, I have nothing to do with them in the first place!" Concubine Shu said angrily, "Chen concubine, you have been poisoned yourself, but don't just frame others!"

"You... you... Your Majesty, look!" Shen Ruochen started crying again, and started kicking his hands and feet in a hurry.

Emperor Yuan De hurriedly comforted her, but also complained about Concubine Shu, "Concubine, can't you say something nicely? Concubine Chen is timid, and she just thought about it, so why should she be so aggressive?"

"Is this concubine aggressive?" Concubine Shu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "Then please tell her, Your Majesty. I want to know what the relationship between this concubine and the little eunuch in her palace is!"

"Don't be impatient, speak slowly." Emperor Yuande hugged Shen Ruochen and said very gently, "Just tell me what you know. I won't blame you if you make a mistake."

This is because the fool also saw that Emperor Yuande was really partial, and he was more considerate of Shen Ruochen. This seems to be a real pet!

"Your Majesty, concubine... I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, and I don't want to offend anyone, let alone the imperial concubine, but... But I don't want to cause trouble, but someone still wants to kill me, concubine. I just can’t figure it out in my heart, why? Who did I offend?"

The more Shen Ruochen talked, the sadder he became, sobbing so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

"I know, I know everything."

Shen Ruochen sniffed and said, "I once saw Xiao Shunzi and the people from the imperial concubine's palace walking very close to each other, but I didn't think much about it, thinking that they might just be acquaintances, but I didn't expect... I didn’t expect that my concubine would be killed like this!”

Concubine Shu couldn't help but said, "It would be too arbitrary for me to conclude that this matter has something to do with me just because of this!"

"My girl is kind-hearted, so she won't be a rogue concubine!" A loud voice came from outside, and it was Concubine Jin who strode in.

"Your Majesty, good luck!"

"Get up," Emperor Yuande said,

"Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Jin and you have a good relationship with Concubine Chen. Why are you here to help?" Concubine Shu snorted.

Concubine Jin also hummed, "My dear concubine, don't worry, I'm here for my own reasons. Our emperor is the real dragon emperor. Are you afraid of being found out?"

"Don't talk nonsense here!"

"Are you talking nonsense? Concubine, please don't worry!" Concubine Jin said to Emperor Yuande, "Your Majesty, I heard that this little Shunzi is the apprentice of Mr. Chen, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many people in the palace know about it, so the emperor can investigate it at will."

"What does this mean?" Concubine Shu said unconvinced, "It is common for eunuchs and maids to seek masters and take apprentices, and the emperor also knows about it."

Concubine Jin glanced at Concubine Shu and snorted, "If I remember correctly, this little Shunzi's master, Eunuch Chen, was just a small boss in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This person who was promoted to general manager was still your concubine who begged the emperor." right?"

"I seem to have an impression of this. It was indeed said by the concubine Ling once. I didn't do the job well before. As soon as the concubine Ling said it, I agreed without paying attention."

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Concubine Jin, "This concubine was promoted by Concubine Shu. You must know this. She is a master and someone who has been promoted. I'm afraid she wants to do something. It's easy." Quite right?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Shu hurriedly said to Emperor Yuan De, "Your Majesty, this is simply slander. This is just speculation. How could I know about these twists and turns? This is simply an unfounded disaster."

"My concubine, you are anxious again," Jin Fei snorted, "When I came here, I had already sent people to capture Eunuch Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He had already been recruited. It was you who instigated it. The purpose was to seize the concubine. Life! You said you didn’t understand the twists and turns here, but didn’t you just say that this was a common thing?”

Concubine Jin took out the testimony and handed it to Emperor Yuande, "Look, Your Majesty, all the witnesses and material evidence are now available. Please make a clear decision!"
