Chapter 37 Even the motive for committing the crime has been thought out for her? As
soon as these words came out, Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This idiot, with a pig brain, I don't know where he got the confidence to learn palace fighting from others?
Thanks to her wit, she asked Lugua and Hongguo to find the so-called evidence in advance.
"Sister Lipin, I'm not the only one with the surname Shen present. Why do you insist that the Shenpin mentioned by Eunuch Li is wrong?"
Shen Qingwan heard the smile on her lips and froze instantly, and her eyes revealed a trace of panic.
What does it mean?
Could it be that the person Li Heguang was talking about was really her, not Shen Chaoyan?
No! Absolutely impossible!
"Sister Shen, everyone present knows that although I have the same last name as you, I was made a concubine by the Emperor. Moreover, I am good friends with Concubine Hui and I like Princess Mingyang very much. How could I possibly poison her?"
"Look at what you said. Could it be that I, who stayed in the Feiyan Palace all day long to study and practice calligraphy, became a reason to take the blame for the person who poisoned the princess?" Shen Chaoyan said without looking at her. Instead, she asked Li Heguang, "Eunuch Li, you are the one who found the evidence. You have the most say in who is the murderer of the little princess."
Li Heguang was a smart man. He knelt down and apologized to Sikong Yan. "Your Majesty, it was my poor tongue that made me say the wrong thing accidentally. This bag of money was found in the residence of Concubine Wan."
Shen Qingwan's face changed on the spot. "Eunuch Li, did you make a mistake? I can swear to God that it was definitely not me!"
The poisoning was arranged by Concubine Li. She was a little stupid, but it was impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake.
So the question is, why did the horse money that should have been found in Shen Chaoyan's Feiyan Palace appear under her bed?
Li Heguang showed a helpless expression to Shen Qingwan, "I am just doing things for the emperor. I will report the evidence truthfully. If Concubine Wan has any grievances, just tell the emperor."
"Yes, sister Wan, if someone deliberately frames you, you must let the emperor make the decision for you." Shen Chaoyan looked at Shen Qingwan's panic and felt relieved.
Sweating profusely!
The gears of fate began to turn. It was time for Shen Qingwan, a black-hearted and black-hearted heroine, to be eliminated.
Shen Qingwan was of course unwilling to accept this. She turned her head and questioned Concubine Li with her eyes.
Concubine Li was even more confused than her and answered with her lips. She didn't know why it was like this.
She clearly sent people to hide the evidence in the Feiyan Palace to frame Shen Chaoyan, so why was the evidence finally found under Shen Qingwan's bed?
It's totally ridiculous!
Shen Qingwan looked at Lipin's empty-headed look, gritted her teeth, and knelt down weakly in front of Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, someone deliberately framed me and hid the horse money under my bed. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Wanpin was framed!" Lipin spoke up immediately, anxious to clear Wanpin's name.
Shen Chaoyan sneered, "Just now when Eunuch Li made a slip of the tongue and referred to Concubine Wan as Concubine Shen, Concubine Li was the first to jump out and correct him, and she even insisted that I was the murderer who poisoned her. Now she is so sure that Concubine Wan was framed. Those who know might say that you two have a deep sisterly love, and those who don't know might think that Concubine Li is the real murderer who murdered the little princess!" Concubine Li was
touched in the sore spot, and she jumped up on the spot with a guilty conscience, "Shen Chaoyan, it must be you who murdered the little princess! You have the emperor's favor, and you are jealous that Concubine Hui has a child before you, so you want to kill Princess Mingyang! Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Princess Mingyang!" He
even thought of the motive for the crime for her?
He is really determined to do it!
Shen Chaoyan raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and looked out of the palace.
A tall figure with a sword on his back walked into the hall quickly. There
was a line of words on the head of the person: [Ye Hanqin, 30 years old, commander of the imperial guards.]
Ye Hanqin knelt on one knee in front of Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial Hospital to check. A few days ago, Cuiwei, the maid of Concubine Wan, went to the Imperial Hospital and said that Concubine Li had a sore throat. She asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, one of which was horse money."
Shen Chaoyan heard this and asked curiously, "Huh? Sister Li was sick, why didn't she let someone around her get the medicine? Commander Ye, did you say the wrong name?"
"No, I brought the person here."
Ye Hanqin waved his hand behind him, and immediately two imperial guards escorted Shen Qingwan's maid Cuiwei in.
Cuiwei seemed to be frightened. Looking at the people in the room, her legs went weak and she knelt down before she even reached Sikong Huan. "Your servant pays homage to the emperor!"
Sikong Huan glared at her and asked coldly, "Did you go to the Imperial Hospital to get the money for Lipin?"
Cuiwei's shoulders trembled. She looked up at Lipin and then at Shen Qingwan, and nodded hesitantly. "Your Majesty, it was indeed your servant..."
Pah!
As soon as Cuiwei started to speak, Lipin rushed forward with great momentum and slapped her hard, "You lowly slave! How dare you slander me! You are not my person, why did I let you get the money?" Shen Chaoyan
stood next to Lipin and whispered in her ear to fan the flames, "Could it be that someone is worried about you and deliberately let Cuiwei get the money and put it in your name? When the matter is exposed, you will not be able to get rid of it."
Lipin was stunned, turned her head and glared at Shen Qingwan who was standing behind her, "Okay, so this is what you came up with!"
She was furious, grabbed Shen Qingwan's collar, and threatened viciously, "Shen Qingwan , if anything happens to me tonight, you can't stay out of it!"
Shen Qingwan really didn't expect that Lipin, who usually looks smart, would panic like this when encountering something. She could only lower her voice and warn her, "Shut up! Now there's no one holding a knife to your neck to force you to admit that you poisoned us! As long as we insist that we were framed, the emperor can't do anything to us!"
After she finished speaking, when she looked at Cuiwei again, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, "Cuiwei, I think I treated you well, why do you want to put the blame on me?"
Cuiwei was stunned. When she was about to refute, she saw that Shen Qingwan was holding a small longevity lock in her hand.
Her pupils tightened, and she changed her words, "It was my fault! When Concubine Wan came to see Princess Mingyang, Princess Mingyang accidentally broke my favorite handkerchief. I was confused for a moment, thinking that horse money could make people dizzy and have a headache, so I wanted to teach Princess Mingyang a lesson. So I secretly went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine in the name of Concubine Li."
"You are just a palace maid, how dare you!"
Seeing that she took all the blame, Sikong Yan ordered in a deep voice, "Li Heguang, drag the man out and chop him up."
Cuiwei's face turned pale, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I will never dare to do it again! Concubine Wan, save me!"
Shen Qingwan did not look at her and let the guards drag her away.
Sikong Yan swept his eyes over the concubines, and his heart was clear.
Lipin and Wanpin took Cuiwei as a scapegoat, but Cuiwei, as a servant, knew about the crime but did not report it, and participated in framing Mingyang. It was not unjust for her to die.
"Li Heguang, you help Ye Hanqin to continue the investigation. Anyone who participated in harming the princess will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Sikong Yan stared at the imperial physician feeding Princess Mingyang the medicine before leaving.
The concubines who came to see the excitement saw that he had left, comforted Concubine Hui a few words, and left Changle Palace one after another.
However, Shen Qingwan did not leave immediately, but was dragged to the next bedroom by Lipin.
"What should we do? The poisoning has been exposed. What should we do if the emperor finds out about us?"
Shen Qingwan looked at her panic-stricken appearance and said coldly, "Why are you panicking? Cuiwei is guilty of this matter. As long as she dies, it will be over."
Lipin was worried, "But what if she betrays us before she dies and drags us into the water?"
Shen Qingwan lowered her head and looked at the longevity lock in her hand, "Absolutely impossible."
Cuiwei was sent to Shen Qingwan by the third prince. Shen Qingwan knew that Cuiwei had a son outside the palace. Before entering the palace, she secretly captured Cuiwei's son and took the longevity lock hung around the child's neck to control Cuiwei.
For the sake of her son, Cuiwei did not dare to speak nonsense.
Seeing her so determined, Lipin felt relieved. "That's good, that's good. As long as this matter doesn't involve the two of us, it's just a servant's death. If you need anyone around you, I'll pick a few smart ones from my place and send them to you!"
"That's not necessary." Shen Qingwan refused on the spot. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said thoughtfully, "Only you and I know about the poisoning. How could the horse money that was supposed to be put in the Feiyan Palace appear under my bed?"
