When the old emperor heard the news that Shen Rui had run away, the anger in his heart immediately rushed upwards.

At this moment, he can be sure that Shen Rui must have lied to him!

This kid ran away because he had a ghost in his heart!

The old emperor did not expect that he was shrewd, and when he was getting old, he was put together by his favorite son.

He was so angry that he raised his hand and swept all the tea cups and memorials in front of him to the ground.

"No reason!"

Everyone in the study room hurriedly knelt down.

"Please rest your anger, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the old emperor's face was flushed with anger and his breathing was a little short, Wei Wynn knew that he must have an old disease, and quickly took out the pills and fed him to take it.

After taking the medicine, the old emperor's breathing stabilized a little.

But his expression was still very strange.

"Go and call Concubine Shu, I want to ask her face to face, how did she teach her son?!"

Wei Huaien immediately arranged for someone to go to Jingque Palace to summon Concubine Shu.

Unexpectedly, the little eunuch just went out and came back soon.

The little eunuch knelt down on the ground: "Report to Your Majesty, Concubine Shu Gui is here."

The old emperor sneered: "It came quite fast, let her roll in!"

After a while, Concubine Shu slowly walked into the Shang study room.

She has changed from her usual flamboyance and wantonness. Today, she is dressed very simply. She is wearing a plain dress with only two plain silver hairpins in her bun. She has no makeup on her face and no jewelry on her body. .

She blessed herself with the emperor.

"My concubine greets His Majesty."

After she straightened up, everyone found that there were some fine lines on the corners of her eyes.

On weekdays, her face is always smeared with grease and powder, and her real age is concealed with makeup. Now that she has washed away the splendor, everyone realizes that she is actually getting old.

The old emperor's stomach was full of anger, but when he saw her like this, his anger dissipated unconsciously.

But ask if you should.

"How much do you know about the secret collusion between Shen Rui and the Ninth Prince of Chen Kingdom?"

Concubine Shu said, "Can I talk to you alone?"

The old emperor stared at her for a while, and finally waved his hand, signaling everyone else to step back.

He would like to see what other tricks this woman can play?

After everyone left, and only the old emperor and Concubine Shu were left in the study room, Concubine Shu spoke slowly.

"The person who secretly colluded with the ninth prince of Chen country is the concubine body, and Rui'er just sent a message to the ninth prince of Chen country for the concubine body.

It was the concubine who hated the prince of Langjun for killing the cousin of the concubine.

The concubine cooperated with the ninth prince of the Chen Kingdom and asked him to kill the king of Langjun on the way.

Everything is done by the concubine alone, and has nothing to do with others. "

The old emperor laughed angrily.

"Do you think I'm a fool? You are a harem woman, why should the Ninth Prince of Chen Kingdom cooperate with you?"

Concubine Shu: "The concubine promised to help him kill Tang Guixi, and he helped the concubine get rid of the Prince of Langjun. It is fair to exchange one life for another."

The old emperor was so annoyed by her unrepentant appearance that he grabbed the incense burner by his hand and threw it at her.

Concubine Shu hides to the side.

The incense burner was on the ground, and it was opened, and the ashes and spices were scattered all over the ground.

The old emperor's hand trembled as he pointed at her: "How dare you hide?!"

Concubine Shu raised her head, and the expression on her face was surprisingly calm.

"Your Majesty, you need to make a decision on this matter. The concubine is willing to bear all the guilt. If you want to kill, you have to kill you. I just ask you to raise your hand and let Rui'er live."

The old emperor scolded impolitely: "What kind of thing are you? You can't protect yourself, and you still want to plead for others?!"

Concubine Shu's eyes turned red.

She has been favored by the emperor for so many years, and it would be a lie to say that she has no feelings for the emperor at all.

But the recent events have smoothed out the feelings in Concubine Shu's heart.

She was forced to recognize that the emperor didn't really have any real feelings for her.

What is he scolding her now?

Maybe in his heart, she has always been just a little thing to play with in her spare time.

Concubine Shu took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her calm.

"Your Majesty can scold whatever you want, the concubine is willing to bear it, but please don't forget what happened in the Fengyi Palace that night twenty years ago..."

The emperor suddenly changed his face: "What do you mean?"

"The meaning of concubine is that as long as you can raise your hand to save Ruier's life,

The concubine can handle all the two cases twenty years ago.

Anyway, the left and right are a dead word, and there is not much difference between multiple charges for the concubine. "

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"Concubine dare not, concubine just wants to help your majesty to solve the hidden danger, please also give concubine this opportunity."

The emperor looked at her fixedly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

I thought this woman was very stupid, but I didn't expect her to bite back?

After a long time, the emperor said.

"As long as Shen Rui can take the initiative to come back and apologize, I can consider treating him lightly."

Concubine Shu Kui knelt down on the ground: "My concubine, thank the Lord Long En!"

...

The Eagle Guards were ordered to hunt down the sixth prince, Shen Rui.

But when they found Shen Rui, they found that Shen Rui was dead.

When Xiao Juan learned about this, he rushed to the scene immediately.

In the log cabin by the river, since no one has lived in it for a long time, there are cobwebs in the corners, several holes in the roof, and the doors and windows are crumbling, as if they will fall at any time.

Shen Rui was hanged in this room.

When Xiao Juan came, Shen Rui's body had already been placed on the ground, but the rope that hanged him was still on the beam.

Meng Xizhou said: "When we came here, the man was out of breath, and his suicide note was still on the table. There was no sign of struggle at the scene. It was initially determined to be suicide."

The suicide note is still on the table and has never been moved.

Xiao Lian walked over and took a look.

The handwriting on the suicide note is indeed Shen Rui's. In the suicide note, he admitted all his crimes and said that he had no face to face his father and emperor, and could only choose to apologize to him by death.

Xiao Lian looked at the ground and asked suddenly.

"Has anyone cleaned the ground?"

This house has obviously not been lived in for a long time. It stands to reason that the ground should be covered with dust, but now the ground is clean.

Meng Xizhou answered truthfully: "When we came in, the ground was so clean."

At this time, Luo Pingsha had completed the preliminary autopsy.

he said solemnly.

"The cause of death was suffocation. There were no signs of struggle before he died, and there were no other scars on his body. At present, it seems that it was indeed suicide."

Xiao Lian thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that he was stunned and then tucked into a noose and hanged?"

Luo Pingsha: "This has to take the person back for a further autopsy to see if he has been drugged?"

The Eagle Guards turned the entire wooden house inside and out, but found no other clues.

The group had to return to Yujing with Shen Rui's body.

Big fruit: Congratulations to the sixth prince, Shen Rui, for finishing the green. This is your lunch box, please take it.

Shen Rui: QAQ
