"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I saw this with my own eyes! It couldn't be false. When I came in, I saw this vicious woman put her hands on the little prince's mouth and nose, and the little prince's face turned black and blue."
"You're talking nonsense! I saw that the little prince didn't cry when he was born, so I went to check his breathing..."
The two of them kept arguing with each other, and the old emperor couldn't help rubbing his temples with a headache.
"That's enough. What's the point of all this noise?"
The old emperor shouted angrily, and the two men stopped talking.
He had originally just wanted to come and see Shen Wangshu and ask if she was feeling better, but he had never imagined that this would happen. He couldn't help but sigh, "Lianzhi, are there any other witnesses besides you?"
"Yes, I'll bring her here right away." Lianzhi said and went out to call for people. A moment later, she came in with a little palace maid.
"Your Majesty! Cuizhu came in with this servant, so she naturally saw that scene."
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes fell on Cuizhu and looked her over.
"Tell me, is this the same as what Lianzhi saw?"
Cuizhu said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I did see Nanny Lian placing her entire hand on the young emperor's face. As for whether it was as Nanny Lian said, I'm not sure."
"Also...it's also true that the little prince's face and mouth were bruised and his entire body was purple..."
Although Cuizhu was timid, she didn't dare to tell a lie at this time.
Her words made the emperor fall into silence. He stared at the old woman with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he was interrogating her.
The old emperor was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Madam Lian, do you have anything else to say?"
Nanny Lian was horrified when she saw this. She quickly knelt on the ground and wailed, "Your Majesty, please understand! The little prince has just been born. How dare I, an old slave, have any evil intentions towards him?!"
"How dare you! And you still dare to quibble!"
The old emperor flew into a rage, "You think I'm a fool, don't you? Do I need to cover my nose with my whole hand to detect its breath?"
Nanny Lian's voice trembled as she tried to defend herself, "Your Majesty, the little prince was born not long ago. I just wanted to make sure he was breathing normally. I really didn't mean to hurt him..."
The old emperor sneered, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.
He finally couldn't stand this treacherous woman any longer and ordered mercilessly: "Drag Nanny Lian out and beat her to death immediately!"
Upon hearing the order, two guards immediately stepped forward, tightly grasped Nanny Lian's arms, and prepared to take her away. Nanny Lian's eyes widened, and she pleaded loudly in fear, "Your Majesty! Spare my life! I am innocent, please investigate!"
However, the old emperor's anger had already spread throughout his body. He looked at Nanny Lian coldly, without any emotion.
Seeing that her plea to the emperor was useless, she quickly turned to look at the queen, "Queen, save me!"
However, it was this sentence "Save me" that successfully made Emperor Lianzhi suspicious of the queen, and also made the old emperor's scrutinizing gaze fall on the queen.
The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she made a decision in an instant.
"Mrs. Lian, you have disappointed me so much! I am only willing to say a few words for you at the beginning because you are an old member of the palace and have worked hard for so many years even though you have no merits.
But you, on the other hand, dared to kill the heir to the throne! Even if you have a grudge against Concubine Shu, you can't do this. What will happen to your family? Even if the emperor doesn't punish you for your behavior, I will never let you off easily! "
The queen scolded sternly, with a warning look in her eyes as she spoke.
"Empress, you..."
Nanny Lian never expected that the Queen would treat her like this. Her loyalty was nothing but a joke in the end, and she was just a useless pawn to her.
Aunt Lian was speechless for a moment, standing there in a daze, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
But she had no choice. The lives of her entire family were in the hands of the queen, and she had already framed her. What else could she say?
The Queen, standing by, took advantage of the situation and continued, "All of you, why don't you drag her out and beat her to death!"
"yes."
Several guards responded and walked forward to pull Nanny Lian out.
Then at this moment, Shen Wangshu's weak voice came, "Wait!"
She rubbed her dizzy head and tried to sit up from the bed with difficulty.
When the old emperor saw that she had woken up, he hurriedly supported her.
"Just lie down, my dear. You are still very weak, so you should lie down and rest."
Shen Wangshu glanced at him, then glanced at Nanny Lian who was tied up, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
This old woman is so vicious that she could even harm such a young child.
She had woken up a long time ago, but she was really tired, and the room was too noisy, so he closed his eyes and listened for a while.
The Queen was so anxious to execute her, so it seemed that Nanny Lian must be the Queen's person.
If we let the queen go so easily today, who knows what she might do to her children in the future?
She thought for a moment, then turned to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I was feeling dizzy just now. I only heard the Empress say that Nanny Lian had a grudge against me, so she wanted to murder my child. But?"
She paused. "But this is only my fourth year in the palace, and I just met Nanny Lian for the first time today. How could I possibly have any hatred or grudge against her?"
Shen Wangshu’s words made everyone present silent.
The queen looked calm, but in her heart she had already cursed Shen Wangshu a hundred times.
