As soon as the words fell, Chen and Ji Zehai's expressions changed instantly.
Chen couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out to stop her, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't let her check!"
He Yunshu's face turned cold, "Madam Ji, do you also want to interfere with my decision?"
Originally, Ying Fei's sudden appearance made her very unhappy, and now Chen was trying to make things worse for her.
After hearing what Concubine Ying hinted at just now, He Yunshu immediately understood the emperor's thoughts.
He didn't want to offend the Shen family, so he threw this mess to himself.
If she fails to handle the situation well, she and the He family will be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
Chen lowered her head, feeling extremely flustered.
If Shen Ningyuan could verify her identity and prove that she was still a virgin, the Ji family would be finished.
In Chen's nervous thoughts, the time of an incense stick passed quickly.
In the main hall, several palace servants set up a tall screen, forming an airtight circle in the middle.
"Men, exit!"
The old nanny's high-pitched voice echoed in the hall.
Ji Zehai had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the Pepper Room with the other men.
Before leaving, Ji Zehai did not forget to give Chen a look, warning her not to talk nonsense.
Afterwards, the two old maids who were checking the body took Shen Ningyuan into the screen.
"Yuan'er, don't be afraid!"
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was about to walk into the screen, Song Yaner couldn't help but shouted.
Shen Ningyuan stopped and turned around to give Song Yaner a comforting look.
Then, he followed the two old maids and walked into the screen.
As the screen closed, everyone could no longer see the scene inside the screen.
Chen was so flustered that she stretched her neck to see everything inside.
But no matter how she looked, it was in vain.
Time passed minute by minute, and all the women present were nervously waiting for the result.
They could not see anything, but could hear rustling sounds inside.
"it's over."
Finally, the old nanny's voice came from behind the screen.
Everyone's eyes became even more excited.
The palace maids opened the screens one after another.
Shen Ningyuan stood upright in the center of the hall, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Just standing there, she exudes an air of independence and charm.
The two old maids were waiting quietly on both sides of Shen Ningyuan.
Like two bamboo sticks, Shen Ningyuan was clamped in the middle.
At this time, the man who had just left also slowly walked into the hall.
He Yunshu sat up straight and asked seriously, "What's the result?"
Everyone's backs tensed as they waited nervously for the nanny to speak.
One of the maids spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we have just carefully checked, and Madam Ji is still a virgin."
"What?" Chen couldn't help but scream, "Impossible!"
Upon hearing this, the old nanny's face immediately darkened. "Madam Ji, are you questioning my ability? I'm the palace's sex nanny. I have more experience in sex than you've ever eaten!"
Chen wanted to refute.
But when he remembered the warning look in Ji Zehai's eyes when he left, he closed his mouth silently.
He Yunshu looked down, a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Are you sure there are no mistakes in the inspection?"
Another old maid immediately chimed in, "In front of the Empress, I dare not lie. We each checked once, and the results are the same. Madam Ji is a virgin!"
"That's actually the case."
He Yunshu's gaze turned to Shen Ningyuan faintly.
No wonder she was so calm when she was splashed with dirty water just now.
It turns out that from the very beginning, she has maintained her innocence and is not afraid of these dirty waters at all.
Thinking of this, He Yunshu changed her posture and said calmly, "Since Madam Ji has proven her innocence, then this matter can be put to rest. Both families will be happy. How about that?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan finally looked up.
He looked at He Yunshu with burning eyes, and said word by word, "Nothing."
He Yunshu paused, "What else do you want?"
Shen Ningyuan didn't answer but asked, "Empress, the Ji family hired someone to frame me for being innocent. Shouldn't they be punished?"
Upon hearing this, Chen immediately became anxious.
Pointing at Shen Ningyuan, he shouted loudly: "What else do you want? You are the daughter-in-law of my Ji family. Even if I have wronged you, do you still want to pursue this matter?"
He Yunshu also took the opportunity to say: "Chen Ningyuan, the Ji family is your in-laws' family after all, so you'd better think it over carefully."
Shen Ningyuan knew that now was not the time to deal with the Shen family.
But after what happened today, she will not let the Ji family go so easily.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan raised her head and said word by word: "I want my mother-in-law and father-in-law to make public what happened in the hall today to prove the innocence of me and the Shen family. At the same time, when they take me back to the Ji family to attend the funeral of my late husband, they must apologize to me in front of all the people in the capital."
"Just... that?" He Yunshu suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Just now, Shen Ningyuan was still holding on to this matter, why did she suddenly let go now?
Chen and Ji Zehai were also shocked and looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.
"Are you really willing to go back to the Ji family?" Ji Zehai asked hesitantly.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Yes, I am willing to return to the Ji family, but you must personally take me back, and declare my innocence in front of the people of the capital, and restore the reputation of me and the Shen family."
Ji Zehai's face darkened and he stared at Shen Ningyuan closely, as if he wanted to see through her.
