As Shen Wangshu spoke, his eyes gradually turned red.
When Li Yuanche heard this, his face instantly turned dark.
"Chen Wangshu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Shen Wangshu looked at him without any fear, and said nonsense seriously, "I have never said anything nonsense. Your Highness the Crown Prince knows the situation best. Do you still want me to explain it more clearly?"
Shen Wangshu said this, then turned around and knelt down towards the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for three years. The past has nothing to do with me. I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly sent someone to give me this gift after visiting the palace this time."
As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing the jade pendant.
"Your Majesty once promised to retrieve this item for me, but I've searched everywhere but to no avail. And yet, for some reason, the Crown Prince recently ordered someone to forge an identical piece for me. I agreed to come here tonight simply to return it to the Crown Prince, but I never imagined he would treat me so disrespectfully. Please, Your Majesty, help me..."
As he spoke, Shen Wangshu's voice was choked with sobs and grievance, which made people feel pity for him.
But this made Li Yuanche feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he instantly understood Shen Wangshu's true intention.
"Father, please don't listen to her nonsense!"
He hurriedly defended himself, "I am innocent. I have never done such a thing..."
Seeing the prince trying his best to defend himself, while Shen Wangshu looked like an innocent person being wronged, the queen's face showed a little impatience.
So she gave Concubine Yi another look.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Yi immediately winked at the maid beside her.
Then, a voice, neither too loud nor too soft, muttered, "That's really strange. I just happened to run into Miss Lianzhi a few days ago and chatted with her for a while. She said she was going to pass on a message to the Crown Prince on behalf of her mother, but she didn't seem to be holding anything at the time..."
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her.
Concubine Yi also pretended to frown and looked at her, "Fangcao, what were you just saying?"
Fangcao seemed startled, lowered her head in panic, and stammered, "Reply... reply to your Majesty, this servant... this servant... said nothing, nothing at all."
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and shook her head desperately.
"Get out of here now! Do you have the right to talk nonsense here?" Concubine Yi shouted, her beautiful eyes widened as she glared at her fiercely.
Fangcao was so frightened that she trembled and nodded repeatedly.
But her words made the old emperor's eyes darken, and his heart, which had been somewhat relieved, began to become suspicious again.
The prince really doesn't seem like someone who would dare to do such a thing.
He is a coward by nature. Even though he has become the crown prince, he still looks down on others and is not a talented person.
On the contrary, Shen Wangshu, this girl looks weak, but in fact she has a strong character, and she even resisted death many times in the past.
He has indeed cared less about her recently, but that is no reason for her to act so recklessly!
He loves her, but that doesn't mean she can step on his head and act wildly.
"Come here, bring Lianzhi here to me!"
The old emperor's voice was majestic and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard took the order and left.
Now, everyone present fell silent.
The emperor just used the word "押" instead of "带", which shows that the emperor is really angry this time.
"Your Majesty, do you really not trust me so much?" Shen Wangshu suddenly looked up, staring at the old emperor with tearful eyes, full of disappointment and despair.
"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. Please, Your Majesty, grant me death."
After saying that, Shen Wangshu suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the old emperor with a resolute and stubborn gaze.
This shocked Concubine Yi and others who were standing by. They had not expected this scene.
The script doesn't seem to be going this way, right?
Is this Shen Wangshu's coming real or fake? Let's say it's fake, but looking at her resolute look, it doesn't seem like she's just joking.
"you……"
The emperor was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he pointed at Shen Wangshu with a trembling finger, his eyes red.
"It seems that I really dote on you too much, and I actually let you be so presumptuous?!"
In public, not only did she not give the emperor any face, she also forced him to make a decision.
If you don't trust her, execute her. What a Concubine Shu.
In the past few years, he has been responsive to her every request and given her everything she asked for, but in the end, this is what happened.
The old emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently and his fingers trembled. He was obviously very angry.
The emperor would not tolerate provocation from anyone, not even from her, but she was his favorite woman after all, so he would not punish her severely.
Thinking of this, the old emperor's eyes lost all their usual tenderness, replaced by a cold and hostile look. "I see you are seriously ill! Come, take Concubine Shu back to Furong Pavilion to recuperate. You are not allowed to take a single step outside without my permission."
"yes!"
Two guards immediately came forward, carried Shen Wangshu and prepared to leave, but were coldly scolded by Shen Wangshu.
"Let go! I can walk on my own!"
The two guards looked at each other, and although they were hesitant, they still released the arm that was holding Shen Wangshu.
And when Shen Wangshu saw this, he stopped struggling.
She lowered her head and slowly straightened her messy dress, then raised her head and met the emperor's eyes, her voice calm and firm.
"Your Majesty is unwilling to trust me, nor is he willing to execute me. What is the point of keeping me by your side? What I want is not wealth and glory, but your heart and trust..."
