Chapter 357 He Lishu was detained
trouble?Wasn't he a huge problem to her?
Shen Ruzhou thought this in his heart, but became more and more cautious on his face. After all, no matter how bad Xiao Chenyan was, he was still the biological son of Emperor Yong'an. In his opinion, she, Shen Ruzhou, should be in pain and shed tears when she reconciled with her son.
Thinking of this, she immediately restrained her expression, meekly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, I have a vulgar appearance and a perverse temperament. I am really not worthy of King Wu Cheng. Now that we are divorced, King Wu Cheng can look for him again." Wouldn't it be beautiful for a virtuous and virtuous woman to be a princess, to treat each other as a guest, and to have her husband and wife accompany her? I am also happy for King Wucheng."
Emperor Yong'an looked at Shen Ruzhou up and down with suspicious eyes, and snorted disdainfully, "You are still self-aware."
He turned to Cao Dehai behind him and ordered, "Put the He Li Shu away and give it to Queen Wucheng after Shen Ruzhou has completely healed her."
"Yes." Cao Dehai stepped forward and carefully rolled up the Heli book.
Shen Ruzhou watched with great reluctance to let go of what he cherished so much.But the imperial power was supreme, and no matter how unwilling she was, she did not dare to violate the will in person, so she had to promise again, "I will do my best to help King Wu Cheng clean up the toxins in his body as soon as possible, so that he can recover as before."
After saying that, Shen Ruzhou wanted to bow and leave. At this time, Qin Ming, who was beside the regent, asked to see him outside.
Emperor Yong'an waved his hand for the eunuch to lead the people in. Qin Ming knelt down and saluted, and then explained his purpose to Emperor Yong'an, "Your Majesty, the regent has been ordered to investigate the poisoning of King Wucheng. There are a few words that he needs to ask Princess Wucheng face to face. Please The Emperor agrees."
Emperor Yong'an nodded and said: "Go and tell the regent to find out the real culprit as soon as possible. I want to see who is so desperate that he dares to murder the prince."
"Yes." Qin Ming agreed and exited the study room with Shen Ruzhou.
Sitting on the carriage leaving the palace, Shen Ruzhou opened the curtain and asked Qin Ming eagerly, "How is the investigation going? Is there any clue from the regent?"
"The matter of King Wu Cheng's poisoning is complicated and involves a wide range of things, so it is inconvenient to disclose it." Qin Ming responded respectfully, and deliberately raised his voice a little louder.
Shen Ruzhou understood immediately and knew that he did this to avoid being noticed.Sure enough, when the carriage left the palace gate, Qin Ming saw no one around, so he whispered through the window: "Princess, the regent found the remaining poison in the courtyard where you live in the general's mansion. All the evidence points to Got you."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou was shocked. He immediately raised the car curtain and stuck his head out to defend: "This is a deliberate frame-up. I have not lived in the General's Mansion these days, let alone put poison in it."
Seemingly remembering something, Shen Ruzhou spoke again: "By the way, I have signed a letter of divorce with King Wucheng. Don't call me princess anymore. Just call me Miss Shen."
When Qin Ming heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
He just replied respectfully: "I know that you are innocent, but the matter has reached this point. According to the rules of the court, we still have to check the people around you. Please forgive me, Miss Shen."
People around her?That's not Miaodong.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou was worried that Miao Dong, a girl from a good family, would be framed by those villains with ulterior motives and be imprisoned and tortured for no reason. He didn't know if she could bear it.
Shen Ruzhou was thinking about Miaodong, completely unaware that Qin Ming was observing the change in his expression.
Seeing her hesitant eyes, a sad look on her face, she looked nervous and worried.
Qin Ming was secretly shocked: Could it be that everything the maid said was true?
Although she knew that torture was a common method of investigating crimes, she still couldn't bear it. She hesitated again and again, thinking about asking about Miaodong's situation, whether she had been tortured, and how she was doing.
She was about to speak when the carriage stopped.
Dali Temple arrived.
Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to get off the carriage and follow Qin Ming to the cell.
The cell was dark and scary. The jailer held an oil lamp to lead the way, and Shen Ruzhou followed closely behind.
Walking in the dark and deep corridor, screams could be heard from time to time, making people's scalp numb.
She became more and more worried about Miaodong and speeded up her pace unconsciously.
After crossing an iron gate, Shen Ruzhou came to the interrogation room at the deepest part of the prison.
Bei Xiuyan was sitting inside dressed in white. The light from the torch in the corner of the room illuminated his fair and translucent skin. His whole body seemed to be covered with a faint halo, which seemed incompatible with the dark and cold surrounding environment.
Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and saluted, "I have met the regent."
Beixiu Yan nodded slightly, his handsome face was calm, and he just said two words lightly, "Sit down."
There was a kit on the table in front of Bei Xiuyan. Shen Ruzhou thought it looked familiar. She looked at the things on the table suspiciously, but she couldn't think of where she had seen it before.
"Prince Regent, I don't know what question you are calling me here to ask today. If you know it, Zhou will not say anything. I will fully cooperate with you and find the real culprit as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou from Dali Temple is already interrogating. We might as well listen first." Beixiu Yan elegantly picked up the tea and sipped it, with a leisurely look.
Bei Xiuyan's calmness and calmness relaxed Shen Ruzhou's tense nerves a lot. She sat down on the chair next to her as instructed and listened carefully. Only then did she realize that the walls of the interrogation room were specially made, so that the sounds from the cells next to her could be heard clearly. passed over.
Next door to them, Miaodong was kneeling on the ground with iron shackles on his hands and feet.He looked up at the various torture instruments hanging on the wall, his eyes full of horror, and his body was shaking uncontrollably because of fear.
Lord Zhou's interrogating voice came from overhead, "Tell me honestly, did you put the poison in King Wucheng's wine?"
"No." Miaodong shook his head in denial.
Mr. Zhou asked again: "Did you collude with outsiders in private and use the hands of others to poison you?"
"No, I have been with Miss Shen. I have not spoken to anyone, and I will not join forces with others to poison King Wu Cheng." Miao Dong tried hard to recall what happened on the day of Mrs. Shen's birthday party, and explained everything in detail. Following his whereabouts, he tried his best to prove his innocence.
Shen Ruzhou heard her voice and hurriedly explained to Beixiu Yan, "Prince Regent, Miaodong is telling the truth. She had been following me that day and there was no way she would have had time to poison her. Moreover, Miaodong arrived at a very young age. The General's Mansion has made me a personal maid, she is loyal to me and there is no way she can be bribed by outsiders."
Bei Xiuyan didn't speak, his eyes were dull, and he motioned for her to continue listening.
