Chapter 346 The murderer points to Shen Ruzhou
Shen Ruzhou shook his head, "I still can't tell for a while, I need to check again."
"It's just that this poison is particularly strong. You must take the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid it will harm King Wucheng's health."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Mu immediately darkened his face. King Wu Cheng was attacked at the Shen family. This incident was probably directed at their Shen family.
At this time, Shen Chumu came over carrying a boy. He stretched out his arm and threw the boy heavily to the ground.
"This is the wine boy arranged for King Wu Cheng. He just sneaked out of the flower hall and tried to escape over the wall, but I caught him."
Shen Chumu flew up and kicked the young man hard, and asked sternly, "Tell me the truth, was it you who poisoned me? Who ordered you to do this?"
The boy's name was Liu Er. He screamed in pain, rolled and crawled to Shen Ruzhou's feet, and grabbed the corner of her clothes tremblingly, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Miss, please save me. I'm following your instructions. You can't just die without saving me!"
"I don't want any money, I just want the eldest lady to save my life!"
Mu Wanrong's eyes widened suddenly. Before she could wipe away the tears on her face, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and pointed at Shen Ruzhou with a trembling hand.
"It turns out that my sister asked Miaodong to go to King Wu Cheng just to poison him?!"
Everyone was shocked and all looked at Shen Ruzhou.It turned out to be Shen Ruzhou who instigated the maid and servant to poison him. She was planning to kill her husband!
Chang Lin drew his sword angrily. If Jun Wu hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed forward and killed Shen Ruzhou with his own hands.
He threw Jun Wu away bitterly and looked at Shen Ruzhou with righteous indignation, "Princess, the prince is so kind to you, and you actually poisoned him. How heartless!"
"You have caused trouble many times before, and the prince has always protected you. Even when you pushed your concubine down and caused her to have fetal contractions, the prince only punished you by banning you from the backyard to think about your fault."
"Now you actually dare to poison the prince. How can any woman in my court dare to disobey her husband like this? She deserves to die!"
Shen Ruzhou wanted to behave upright and sit upright, but how could she allow others to slander and humiliate her like this? She immediately asked, "You said I poisoned you, what's the purpose?"
"It's not because you are jealous that I have the prince's exclusive favor and got pregnant before you did!"
Mu Wanrong looked at Shen Ruzhou in disbelief and resentment, looking extremely sad.
She knelt down and walked to Shen Ruzhou, "Princess, please Wanrong, as long as you are willing to take out the antidote to save the prince's life, Wanrong is willing to go down and leave. As long as the prince is well, Wanrong can do anything you want."
With that said, she kowtowed to Shen Ruzhou again, and soon, her forehead turned red.By doing this, he immediately gained a lot of goodwill.
Yu Yaner couldn't stand it anymore and was the first to stand up and accuse, "Shen Ruzhou, you actually murdered your husband out of jealousy!"
"Isn't it because King Wu Cheng favored his concubine and made her pregnant first, so you can't tolerate it? First he pushed down the concubine in the back hall, and now he poisoned the prince. Such a vicious heart to kill everyone is really unheard of! "
Everyone couldn't help but believe what they had seen and heard before, and they all accused Shen Ruzhou.
"This is too vicious, not to mention that he is my husband, but also a noble man from Tianhuang! Even if he has more concubines, he cannot carry out such a deadly attack!"
"He looks handsome, but his heart is as poisonous as a snake or a scorpion."
"..."
Bei Xiuyan's sharp eyes swept over everyone. It was obvious that he didn't say a word, but his eyes instantly gave everyone an invisible sense of oppression, making them almost breathless.
With just one glance, the flower hall was instantly silent.
He looked at Shen Ruzhou indifferently and asked, "What do you want to say about this matter?"
"Have."
Shen Ruzhou looked at the boy at his feet coldly, "Are you sure I asked you to poison him? Do you know what the crime of poisoning the current prince is?"
Liu Er was stared at by Shen Ruzhou until his scalp numbed, and his body trembled because of fear.But when I think about my family...
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "You were the one who asked me to poison you. Does the eldest lady want me to bear the charge of treason alone?"
Everyone looked at Shen Ruzhou, but she still didn't panic at all and continued to question: "Since you said I bribed you to poison, how much money did I give you and where did I put it? How did I contact you? Is there anyone certificate?"
Liu Er was flustered when he was asked, big beads of sweat kept pouring out, and he made it up randomly, "You gave me 300 taels of silver, and I have spent all of it. The contact is, it's you, it's..."
Seeing that he was stammering and couldn't continue, Shen Ruzhou lost his patience and said, "You can't even explain how I contacted you. How can you prove that I asked you to poison me?"
Shen Chumu was even more angry and put a sword directly on Liu Er's neck, "You bastard, you still dare to bite the princess indiscriminately. Tell me honestly, who ordered you to poison her?"
Liu Er knew that the more he spoke, the more loopholes would appear, so he immediately shut his mouth and refused to speak.
Bei Xiuyan glanced at him with cold eyes and said slowly: "If you don't want to say it here, go to the prison and say it. The people there have many ways to make you talk."
With just one word, Mu Wanrong's nervous heart rose to her throat. She held her hands tightly, and her long nails were embedded in her flesh.
Seeing that the guards were about to take him to the prison, Liu Er broke out in a cold sweat. He was heartbroken and shouted: "Shen Ruzhou has a heart of snakes and scorpions. He ordered me to poison King Wu Cheng. I am willing to plead guilty!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he crashed into the stone pillar next to him. Shen Chumu's eyes were about to burst, and he hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was a step too late.I watched helplessly as his brain was pumped out, blood flowed like a torrent, and he fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
The only insider died, and all suspicion fell on Shen Ruzhou.
Mu Wanrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt down in front of Beixiu Banquet with a sad face, and started crying again, "Prince Regent, you must make the decision for my prince. Please punish the murderer severely!"
Yu Yaner fanned the flames and said, "Prince Regent, now all the evidence points to Shen Ruzhou. I ask the Prince Regent to deal with it impartially and give justice to King Wu Cheng."
Everyone on the field also knelt down and begged for orders, "Please regent severely punish the murderer and correct the discipline."
Shen Ruzhou knew very well that it would be difficult to quell public anger unless she was dealt with, and she did not want Beixiu Yan to be embarrassed.
"Prince Regent, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. I am willing to go to the prison for interrogation."
Shen Mu watched his daughter turn around decisively, feeling heartbroken. He knelt down towards Bei Xiuyan and begged for mercy: "Prince Regent, Shen is willing to guarantee with his life that my daughter will never do such a treasonous thing!"
In Shen Ruzhou's memory, his father was always strict and upright and never asked for help, but today he knelt down to beg for mercy for her.
She looked at her father's figure kneeling on the ground, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.
Shen Chumu also knelt down and said, "Please be aware of this, Prince Regent, and don't let the traitor succeed by unjustly accusing my little sister."
Shen Ruzhou quickly leaned over to help his father and brother up, pretending to be relaxed, "Father, brother, please relax, no one can be wronged for what I haven't done."
Bei Xiuyan glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, "I will definitely find out the truth. I will never wrongly accuse good people, let alone let go of villains with ulterior motives."
After that, he ordered people to put away the tableware used by Xiao Chenyan and left with Shen Ruzhou.
