Chapter 34 Almost Beaten to Death
"No hurry, take your time."
Shen Qingtang turned to look at Shen Junlin and Shen Chengyu.
"Big brother, second brother."
"I want to ask you, after you returned to the palace yesterday, did you tell others that I had been to Lingcui Mountain? Did you tell others that I escaped early?"
Shen Junlin immediately shook his head to deny: "No, why would I tell others these things?"
This is not a very glorious thing.
Shen Chengyu also shook his head: "I didn't either, who would be bored enough to talk about such things, I went to treat my injuries as soon as I returned to the palace."
"That's strange, could it be that the guards brought by General Lu told it?" Shen Qingtang looked at Lu Jiuan who had been kneeling beside her.
"It's not them." Lu Jiuan was still sure of this.
Shen Qingtang smiled slightly, as if mocking their ignorance.
"Really? If this is ruled out, isn't Shen Muchin the only one left?"
"Father, you don't need to send people to investigate. The result of the matter is already very obvious. The reason why those palace maids and guards knew what happened yesterday was because Shen Muchin deliberately spread it."
"Isn't she doing this just to ruin my image in the eyes of the public?"
"Isn't she afraid that I will be disappointed?"
"If she hadn't started it first, I wouldn't have done what I did today. In the final analysis, this matter is her fault."
"Shen Muchin said on the surface that she was protecting me and being good to me. She pretended to be a good girl in front of you, but behind her back she tried her best to frame me and slander me."
"Is this the daughter you are so proud of? Haha, nothing more than that."
Shen Tianming: ...
The more he listened, the more he felt that Shen Qingtang's analysis made sense. When he first heard about this, he naturally thought that Shen Qingtang was wrong and Shen Muchen was innocent.
He suddenly realized that under the shackles of family affection, he had gradually lost the ability to judge. Was it because he couldn't distinguish, or didn't want to distinguish?
"Could it be that Xin'er really did this?"
"Maybe... she was careless?" Shen Tianming said this with a guilty conscience.
Shen Qingtang looked at him nakedly, not disguising his ridicule.
"Accidentally? If she hadn't acquiesced to this, would those palace maids and guards dare to say that to me?"
"Have you forgotten what happened with the imperial physician? You are too biased."
"Father, you can't even figure out such a simple matter. Can you handle state affairs?"
Shen Qingtang really looked down on Shen Tianming from the bottom of his heart .
[Even dogs would shake their heads at your position as emperor.]
[It would be better if I were the emperor.]
Shen Qingtang's eyes were sharp, and his sharp words were like a frosty ice blade, striking Shen Tianming's heart.
"How dare you!"
He widened his eyes and stood up in anger. Shen Qingtang actually dared to say such treasonous words in front of him!
Shen Tianming became even more angry when he thought that Fengyin would be destroyed in his hands.
"You rebellious girl, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that!"
Mu Wan was afraid that Shen Tianming would teach Shen Qingtang a lesson, so she immediately reached out and grabbed Shen Tianming's arm, saying softly: "Your Majesty, Qingtang is still young, don't bother with her, children's words are innocent."
Mu Wan winked at Shen Qingtang: "Qingtang, why don't you apologize to your father?"
Qingtang was also sick yesterday and just woke up today, so she couldn't stand the emperor's punishment.
When Mu Wan heard that Shen Tianming sent someone to call Shen Qingtang to the Golden Palace for questioning, Mu Wan came over immediately, with the purpose of stopping Shen Tianming from attacking Shen Qingtang at the critical moment.
Seeing this scene, Mu Wan was extremely glad that she came over.
But Shen Qingtang was too outspoken now, and dared to say anything.
Shen Junlin stared at Shen Qingtang in astonishment. Her sister was so bold that she not only dared to question their father's ability to his face, but also dared to dream of sitting on the throne in her heart?
Even Shen Junlin herself did not dare to think so.
Shen Chengyu was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Did he hear it wrong?
Shen Qingtang actually said that his father was not capable, and dared to covet the throne?
Lu Jiuan wanted to take all the blame for Shen Qingtang at this time. She couldn't be hurt again.
"Emperor..."
Lu Jiuan just opened her mouth to say a word, and heard Shen Qingtang's stubborn reply: "Why should I apologize to him, I didn't say anything wrong!"
[You really think you are great just because you are a biological father! ]
[I will scold you anyway! ]
[I, Shen Qingtang, am not afraid of fear! 】
Shen Qingtang has a stubborn temper, and Shen Tianming also has a stubborn temper.
"You still say you are right!"
He is the emperor! Even though Shen Qingtang is his daughter, she cannot be so rude to him!
Shen Tianming raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful spiritual power instantly attacked Shen Qingtang. He was really pissed off by Shen Qingtang.
As an emperor, no one dared to deny his face like this.
"Fourth Princess, be careful."
Lu Jiuan's face changed, and he moved quickly. He immediately rushed in front of Shen Qingtang to block the spiritual power for her. His back was hit by the spiritual power, and a mouthful of blood spit out from the corner of his mouth, spraying onto Shen Qingtang's dress.
"General Lu!"
Shen Qingtang's pupils shrank, and he immediately reached out to support Lu Jiuan's shoulders.
"General Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Jiuan smiled and said weakly, "I'm fine."
"Your Majesty!" Mu Wan's heart tightened, and she shook off Shen Tianming's arm and ran to Shen Qingtang to protect her.
"Your Majesty, you hit her so hard, do you want to kill Qingtang?" Mu Wan accused him.
If it weren't for Lu Jiuan who took the blow, Shen Qingtang would have been dead or injured.
Shen Junlin and Shen Chengyu were standing by, shocked and speechless. How could things turn out like this?
"Qingtang..." Shen Tianming's hands were shaking slightly. He felt very regretful. He almost beat Shen Qingtang to death.
He was just too angry. Moreover, he didn't mean to use such a heavy hand...
Seeing Lu Jiuan injured, Shen Qingtang was furious and she couldn't bear it anymore.
She was fully fired up and mercilessly said: "Father, what grounds do you have to hit me?"
"First, you were the one who favored Shen Muxin first."
"It's clearly not my fault what happened today, but you still want to blame me for Shen Muxin. Don't I have the right to be angry?"
"You can't tell right from wrong, don't you deserve to be criticized!"
"Second, you rushed to punish me without finding out the truth of the matter. As an emperor, is this how you deal with things?"
Shen Qingtang took out a bamboo flute from the storage ring and started playing it. This was what Lu Jiuan brought back to her yesterday.
Hearing the familiar flute sound, Shen Junlin and Shen Chengyu opened their eyes in disbelief.
"This flute sound is exactly the same as the one we heard yesterday when we were fighting!" Shen Junlin reacted quickly, "Qingtang, could it be that you were the one who helped us weaken the enemy's fighting power yesterday?"
Shen Qingtang put down the bamboo flute and looked at them coldly: "What else?"
