Prince Yan had a bad feeling in his heart, and he patiently returned to his study.
The princess followed closely and placed the evidence dug up by witness Zhang Yuehe on the table.
It was a shabby little wooden box the size of a palm, crudely made. There is a small wooden figure in the box.
The wooden man has a strange shape, with the three words "Li Yuanjing" engraved on his heart and his birth date engraved below the words.
On the back of the wooden figure, the name [Chen Wei] was engraved, and below the name was her birth date. The names were stained with dark red blood, and between the two names, two red silk threads were tightly wrapped around each other, making them look weird and bizarre.
King Yan picked up the small wooden figure, and he recognized the crooked handwriting, which was Shen Wei's handwriting!
Zhang Yue knelt down, trying to make her presence felt: "My lord, I discovered this wooden man by accident. I was worried about your safety, so I dared not hide it, so I revealed Shen Wei's evil deeds to the princess."
She raised her head and looked at King Yan eagerly, hoping that he would remember her face. Zhang Yue believed that with her elegant and refined appearance, she would soon gain the exclusive favor of King Yan.
But when Zhang Yue saw the wooden man in King Yan's hand, she had a strange expression - this wooden man seemed different from the wooden man she put into the box!
In order to frame Shen Wei, Zhang Yue privately carved a wooden man with the name of King Yan and some evil curse words on it.
But the wooden man in Prince Yan's hand seemed completely different from the wooden man she carved. Why is there blood on the chest? Where does the red line come from? Where does the birth date come from?
Prince Yan's handsome face turned cold. This crooked handwriting was definitely carved by Shen Wei stroke by stroke.
Prince Yan felt a dull pain in his heart. If he were to ask himself, he had treated Chen Wei well.
He liked Shen Wei's graceful and attractive body, Shen Wei's meticulous care, and the fresh breath on Shen Wei. When Shen Wei encountered a haunted incident, he immediately changed the house for Shen Wei.
But this woman actually cursed him in private!
Could it be that Shen Wei had been deceiving him all along? Was the deep affection shown by Shen Wei all a disguise?
"Go to the Liuli Pavilion." King Yan's face darkened, his thin lips were pursed into a cold straight line, and he strode towards the Liuli Pavilion.
Zhang Yue watched the tall back of Prince Yan leaving, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought complacently that the days of her, Zhang Yue's, favored life were finally coming.
...
King Yan came to the Glazed Pavilion and barged into Shen Wei’s bedroom with an angry face.
Shen Wei was practicing calligraphy at the desk, carefully copying "Spring Banquet" stroke by stroke, with a focused expression and a fair and beautiful profile.
Hearing the noise at the door, Shen Wei raised her head happily: "My Lord, you are back!"
Prince Yan walked to the table with a gloomy look on his face, picked up the rice paper on the table and examined it.
[Spring banquet, a glass of green wine and a song...]
Shen Wei wrote several copies. Her handwriting was still not neat, but she could see some improvement. Prince Yan clenched the rice paper and threw the box containing the wooden man onto the table with a bang.
The box opened, revealing the oddly shaped wooden figure.
Shen Wei's pretty face showed surprise.
King Yan stared at Shen Wei coldly, his inky eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
He grabbed Shen Wei's slender wrist and questioned word by word: "Shen Wei, I have treated you well, why do you curse me?"
Shen Wei's pretty face was dull, as if she had heard some outrageous Arabian Nights. Tears welled up in her bright eyes, and she stammered, "No...it's not like that..."
King Yan saw her pitiful appearance, and felt a sudden pain in his heart. King Yan asked: "You carved the words on this wooden figure. Do you still want to deny it?"
Chen Wei's handwriting is unique.
It's ugly and weird, and no one can imitate it.
Shen Wei's eyes flashed with grievance, and crystal tears fell down. She choked and said, "This handwriting was carved by me personally... But, but things are not like that..."
Hearing Shen Wei's admission, King Yan felt a surge of pain in his heart.
He thought he had finally found a flower that belonged to him alone. But who would have thought that this eloquent flower actually had thorns in its heart, and was vicious and hypocritical.
King Yan was furious: "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to quibble! Chen Wei, is there any real friendship you show to me?"
Shen Wei’s eyes widened.
It seemed that she had not expected that the King of Yan would doubt her love. Her temper instantly flared up, and for the first time she got angry at the King of Yan: "Your Majesty, you actually doubt my feelings for you? You...you are going too far!"
Tears as big as beans fell down, and Shen Wei seemed to be extremely sad. She turned around angrily and lay on the table sobbing.
The King of Yan became even more annoyed.
This woman, after doing something wrong, actually dared to lose her temper at him!
"Someone, seal off the Liuli Pavilion. Without my order, Shen is not allowed to take a single step out!" Prince Yan gritted his teeth. If it were any other concubine who committed such a heinous crime, he would have already given her a white silk robe.
But Shen Wei...
Although King Yan was angry, he couldn't bear to kill her. The backyard of the palace was stagnant, and even though a woman of his choice finally appeared, he couldn't bring himself to kill her.
"When will you realize you are wrong? Come and confess to me again!" King Yan said harshly and left in anger.
Shen Wei's aggrieved cry came from behind him. King Yan walked to the door and couldn't help but look back. Shen Wei's face was pale, wet with tears of grievance, and the tears fell like beads from a broken string, wetting the rice paper on the table.
He looks very pitiful.
King Yan suppressed his heartache and left coldly.
As soon as he left the Glazed Pavilion, Shen Wei in the room stopped crying instantly. White fingers passed across the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tears that seeped out.
Shen Wei yawned, rubbed her wrist that was pinched by Prince Yan, and asked Rong Mama who came in, "Have you told Eunuch Fugui?"
Rong Mama handed over a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry. Eunuch Fugui likes that snuff bottle very much."
