Perhaps because of Shen Chenbi's good looks, the little girl not only wasn't afraid, but also grinned, "No, my aunt did it."

That's right, it's silk reeling.

Shen Chenbi's voice was trembling, and she continued to ask: "Then can you take my sister to meet this aunt? My sister also likes beautiful clothes."

Hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across the girl's face, and she shook her head, "I can't find my aunt either. My mother said that my aunt was taken away and will never come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Chenbi's excited heart sank again. Is it still a step too late?

At this time, the girl's mother called her, and the girl waved to Shen Chenbi and ran away.

Ye Xuanchen frowned and helped Shen Chenbi up.

"It's silk reeling. Mother has been here before, but I'm still a step too late." Shen Chenbi murmured towards Ye Xuanchen.

Ye Xuanchen knew that Shen Chenbi's suffering was all to find out Chen Wan's whereabouts. Seeing Shen Chenbi's loss, he hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will send people to continue to investigate. They can't The concealment is seamless.”

I hope so, Shen Chenbi prayed in her heart.

Soon, Ye Xuanchen sent Shen Chenbi back to the capital safely.

However, according to Shen Chenbi's temperament, it was impossible to just let the matter of being chased go.

Originally, Shen Chenbi wanted to enter the palace alone, but Ye Xuanchen was worried and insisted on following.

So, the two of them entered the palace together.

When the two arrived, the emperor was drinking tea in the imperial garden, with the queen sitting beside him.

Shen Chenbi pinched the palms of her hands fiercely, squeezed out a few tears from her eyes, and knelt down in front of the emperor. She looked so aggrieved and said, "I have seen the emperor and the empress. Someone wants to kill my life, please." The emperor makes decisions for his servants."

Hearing this, the emperor's face became more angry, "Is this happening? Who is so bold?"

"Excuse me, it's Princess Zhaohua! A few days ago, the prince was banned, so my daughter wanted to go to the famous Qingshan Temple outside the city to ask for a peace charm, but she was chased by Princess Zhaohua and fell off a cliff. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

Shen Chenbi's eyes were red and she directly complained to Zhaohua.

After finishing speaking, the emperor's expression changed again and again, and his voice became a little deeper, "Do you have evidence to prove that Zhaohua did this?"

"This is the jade pendant that the guards accidentally picked up during the fight. I know that the princess must be angry with me because of the last time she fell into the water. But my crime is not worthy of death. Why did the princess do this?" He said. Then, she also implicated Zhaohua in causing her to fall into the water.

As soon as these words came out, the queen's face froze for a moment, her lips were pursed tightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

The emperor looked at the empress with a gloomy expression. The empress dodged her eyes and laughed a few times, "Your Majesty, it was just a child's play. She lost her sense of control and accidentally fell into the water. Zhaohua loves to play a little, but she definitely doesn't. It will harm people.”

After hearing this, Shen Chenbi really wanted to applaud.

Ye Xuanchen, who was standing quietly on the side, also spoke at the right time, "The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty, let alone a princess? If the emperor doesn't believe it, send someone to ask and find out."

Seeing what Ye Xuanchen said, the emperor had no choice but to summon the soldiers guarding the city.

The results confirmed that Zhaohua did take some people out of the city a few days ago.

This time, the emperor could no longer deceive himself. He threw the teacup in his hand and his face turned extremely dark, "Bring Princess Zhaohua!"

Seeing that something was not going well, the Queen bravely explained, "Your Majesty, we have watched this child Zhaohua grow up, but she doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could she kill someone? Someone must be secretly instigating her."

"Then what the queen means is that there is someone else who wants to harm others?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, but his expression did not ease because of what the queen said.

Hearing this, the queen nodded repeatedly, "I feel that this matter must have been done by the maid next to Zhaohua. Before, I felt that this person had evil intentions, but she has followed Zhaohua since she was a child. I am afraid that someone will suddenly change her service. Zhaohua wasn't used to it, so he didn't send her away, but now that she has hidden harmful intentions, she can't be kept."

Obviously, the queen wanted to repeat her old tricks and put all the blame on the maid.

"The Queen's words are wrong. I have no enmity with that maid, so why did the maid want to harm me? Taking a step back, even if the idea came from the maid, it was the princess who committed the murder. If the princess didn't want to, a Can the maid still force her?"

This time, Shen Chenbi did not give in anymore. She straightened her back and looked directly at the queen. There were complex emotions in her eyes, including resentment, dissatisfaction, disappointment, and a little disgust.

This call left the queen speechless, so she could only glare at Shen Chenbi secretly and threateningly.

But since Shen Chenbi chose to sue Zhaohua, she was not afraid that the queen would embarrass her in the future.

After all, there had been a grudge between the two of them for a long time, and even if she stayed in the house honestly, the queen would not let her go.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Ye Xuanchen also stood up and put pressure on the emperor, "The emperor wanted me to resist foreign enemies, so I fought on the battlefield for more than ten years. But I also have flesh and blood. I fought bloody battles for the emperor, but the princess wanted me to My wife’s life, if the emperor insists on protecting the princess today, it will definitely chill the hearts of the ministers and the hearts of thousands of soldiers!”

Ye Xuanchen's voice was sonorous and powerful, and with every word he spoke, the emperor's pressure grew heavier.

"According to my decree, Zhaohua has failed in his moral conduct and will be punished with thirty rods!" The emperor's hands under his sleeves were clenched tighter and he ordered in a deep voice.

Shen Chenbi knew that this was the biggest concession the emperor had ever made. Besides, she was fine no matter what she said now. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhaohua to sacrifice her life for her.

I saw her bowing to the emperor, her face a little more grateful, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for seeking justice for your daughter!"

As a result, Princess Zhaohua was dragged away and beaten without even seeing the emperor's face.

She has always been pampered and pampered. When has she ever been wronged like this?

At first, she yelled at the guards around her, but gradually, she lost the strength to shout.

When the queen saw Zhaohua again, Zhaohua was lying on the bed, his eyebrows full of anger, "Get out of here, princess!"

Hearing this, the queen was stunned, and stepped forward to touch Zhaohua's face distressedly.

Zhaohua raised his eyes and saw that it was the queen, tears burst out instantly, "Mother, my son and I hurt so much!"

"My dear, my mother is almost heartbroken. Don't be so reckless in the future. Even if you want to take revenge on her, there are many ways. Why do you need to take action yourself?" Seeing this, the queen felt distressed and angry. She took advantage of this. The opportunity began to preach to Zhaohua.

Zhaohua naturally didn't want to hear these words, but she didn't dare to disobey the queen.

Not long after, the prince, who had been lingering on the sick bed, also appeared here.

At this time, some blood stains could be seen on Zhaohua's lower body clothes. It must be because Zhaohua was excited and the scabs broke open.
