In the court, the third prince, who was feeling better, also came to attend court.

The discussion was almost over when the emperor took a look at the memorial and said, "Shen Shoufu."

Shen Shoufu secretly raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was finally here.

As a result, he didn't listen to other people's nonsense all morning, and just waited for the emperor to call his name.

He glanced at the Third Prince who had a calm expression. This kid was quite good at pretending.

Let’s see how he pretends later.

Before he left, Yan Bao still regretted that he could not see the Third Prince being captured with his own eyes. If it were not for the court session, Chief Minister Shen really wanted to let Yan Bao see it.

Chief Minister Shen was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a folded hand: "I am here."

The emperor said expressionlessly, "Someone has accused you of plotting to usurp the throne, secretly making a dragon robe, and intending to become emperor. Is this true?"

Shen Shoufu, whose acting skills were on point, knelt before the emperor with a thud: "Your Majesty, I am wholeheartedly devoted to my country and my loyalty to Your Majesty. How could I possibly do something so treasonous?"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Should I believe you?"

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no second thoughts." Shen Shoufu knelt on the ground and said, "I am wronged. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly and return my loyal heart."

The emperor glanced at Fu Qi and said, "In that case, take off your court robes and let me and everyone present see whether you have been wrongly accused."

Chief Minister Shen hesitated.

This small action seemed subtle in the eyes of everyone.

The emperor couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

The third prince sneered and said, “Shen Shoufu, don’t you dare?”

Shen Shoufu deliberately made a panic expression: “I am innocent.”

“Whether it is unjust or not, you will know after taking off your official uniform, or is it that Prime Minister Shen dare not?” The third prince’s eyes were sharp.

The emperor’s face darkened: “Shen Shoufu, aren’t you wronged?”

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is indeed wronged." Shen Shoufu hesitated to take action.

The emperor snorted coldly: “Come here, Shen Shoufu is weak and powerless, please help and give Shen Shoufu a chance to prove his innocence.”

"Father, if Prime Minister Shen doesn't mind, I can serve you." The third prince recognized that the court dress on Prime Minister Shen was the one he gave to Tianxiang.

The dragon robe was actually on him, and Shen Shoufu couldn't escape.

The emperor knew what the third prince was thinking, that he couldn't stand seeing Prime Minister Shen getting any better, and that the official who had impeached Prime Minister Shen was arranged by the third prince. He also knew that this big show was also what the third prince wanted him to watch.

No matter what, these two people made the emperor happy to see them.

He knew the ambition of the third prince, and if he could really catch Shen Shoufu’s ambition, the emperor would still be very disappointed.

After all, he trusted Shen Shoufu so much.

Seeing that the third prince was confident of victory, the emperor secretly clenched his fists.

Regardless of whether Chief Minister Shen was wrongly accused or his real ambition was discovered by the Third Prince, at this point, it was difficult for the emperor to say anything.

The throne is unshakable, there are plenty of ministers, and one more like Shen Shoufu is not lacking.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt that Shen Shoufu was dispensable. Even if he could let him read minds, the worst that could happen was that his entire family would be executed, leaving him as an old man, who would be castrated and serve in the palace.

If Shen Shoufu knew that the emperor had thought of his fate, he would not know how to scold the dog emperor.

He actually wanted to castrate him.

"In that case, let the Third Prince do it!" The emperor was still willing to give his son the face he deserved.

Shen Shoufu knew that, as expected, father and son were father and son. If anything happened, their interests were the same, and he would be cannon fodder.

Yan Bao was right, their whole family were cannon fodder.

Chief Minister Shen looked at the approaching Third Prince, and he even said hypocritically: “Shoufu Shen, I’m offended!”

"Third Prince, you are too kind. I hope you can clear my name." Shen Shoufu spread his hands with a casual look, looking at the third prince who couldn't suppress the smug joy on his face.

The Third Prince would not undress Chief Minister Shen button by button. He was very rude and grabbed the court robe and tore it hard. All the civil and military officials present heard it.

The emperor looked at the torn robe without blinking, and inside was only the inner garment and the lining.

In the end, Shen Shoufu was almost stripped naked, but there was no trace of the dragon robe.

The Third Prince was so arrogant just now, but now he is so unbelievable. He almost tore Shen Shoufu's court robes to pieces, but he didn't even see the slightest shadow of bright yellow.

The third prince began to doubt his life. Did he take the wrong one?

impossible.

So, it was that bitch Tianxiang who betrayed me?

Yes, it must be her.

Otherwise, how could the bright yellow dragon robe lining the court dress disappear?

Shen Shoufu was frank and generous. Looking at the frustrated Third Prince, Shen Shoufu smiled and said, "Third Prince, do you want to send someone to search my house?"

"That's right, you must be hiding in the mansion, father, quickly send people to search the Shen family!" The third prince would not miss any opportunity to kill the Shen family. When he was reminded by Prime Minister Shen, he immediately lost his mind.

The emperor was already very unhappy with the look on the third prince's face.

In the hall, Shen Shoufu has already been embarrassed. If the search is conducted without any evidence, wouldn’t it cause alienation between the monarch and his subjects?

The emperor already knew that Shen Shoufu was wronged, so would he wrong him again?

The emperor scolded the third prince: "How dare you shout in the hall. How disrespectful! The third prince should apologize to Chief Minister Shen."

The Third Prince was unwilling to accept this, but due to the Emperor's order, he could only reluctantly bow to Prime Minister Shen and said, "Master Prime Minister, please forgive me. It is my fault."

Chief Minister Shen shook his head generously, deliberately helped the Third Prince, and took advantage of the situation to grab the Third Prince's sleeve and pulled it. With a swish sound, a piece of rag appeared in his hand, and a bright yellow color was revealed on the Third Prince's sleeve.
