I don’t know how long it took, but there was a noise coming from the small secret compartment on the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, I have brought you food."
A young eunuch's voice rang out.
Su Lijin put down the medical book and opened the small secret compartment. A somewhat nervous face immediately appeared outside the small hole in the door.
The young eunuch was thin and handsome. When he looked at him, his eyes were complicated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
After taking the food box, Su Lijin hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch was surprised, then he looked around in panic, and when he saw that there was no one around, he felt relieved.
Looking at Su Lijin, the young eunuch seemed to be struggling to make a decision. Finally, he gritted his teeth, his eyes determined, and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the Concubine Shu abuse the young prince. The bruises on the young prince's body were all caused by her."
Su Lijin was shocked: "Did you really see it?"
The young eunuch nodded and said, "I promise that I will not lie."
Thinking of something, Su Lijin asked, "Are you willing to be a witness?"
Looking around in panic, the young eunuch said in a trembling voice: "I dare not. I came to tell you today because the queen helped me before. But if I testify, I will die..."
Su Lijin didn't remember that she had helped him.
She promised, "I will protect your life. Are you willing to bear witness?"
After hesitating for a moment, the young eunuch looked at her sincere eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I will testify."
With a witness, Su Lijin immediately asked to go to Yiku Palace to confront the matter again.
Looking at the young eunuch who testified, Concubine Shu wanted to pounce on him and silence him immediately. She never thought that after getting rid of the eunuch who had seen it secretly, there was still a fish that slipped through the net!
"I don't know what nonsense he is talking about!" She immediately refused to admit it.
The young eunuch trembled and recounted every time Concubine Shu abused the little prince, and finally said, "The tool Concubine Shu used to torture the little prince was an iron pestle covered with barbs and a box of incense that suffocated the little prince."
Concubine Shu's face changed.
He actually knew about the incense? !
Su Lijin said, "Shufei, you abused the little prince, causing his death, and yet you still want to put the blame on me. You are truly vicious!"
Xiao Shengxing narrowed his dark eyes dangerously: "Shufei, will you confess?"
Concubine Shu hurriedly shook her head and gritted her teeth, saying, "This must have been orchestrated by the Queen. I didn't do it!"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Shengxing said no more. He waved his hand and immediately people from the Ministry of Justice came over with torture instruments.
Concubine Shu retreated with a pale face.
The personal maid beside her was dragged over and tortured immediately.
Suddenly, shrill screams were heard from Yikun Palace.
The maid breathed weakly and confessed, "I said the thing was under the bed in the inner room..."
"You!" Shufei knew something was wrong and hurried to the inner room, but was stopped by the guards.
Soon, the tools were found.
"We have both witnesses and evidence, Concubine Shu, do you have anything else to say?" Su Lijin said.
Xiao Shengxing said in a deep voice, "Give me poisoned wine."
Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and she quickly asked Xiao Zhaolin for help: "Your Highness, save me..."
