Chapter 345 A friend in need is a friend indeed. Even the emperor can’t do anything to him.

Chunxi felt a little worried after hearing this. Not to mention delivering medicine to Qin Xiao, she couldn't even go out.

"What should we do, young lady?" Chunxi was so anxious that tears came out again.

Shen Chuwei thought of Xiao Jinyu, "Let's wait and see, maybe Xiao Jinyu will come. Xiao Jinyu is the Prince of Yu, the emperor dotes on him, it should be easy for him to see Qin Xiao, then give him the medicine and have him deliver it to Qin Xiao."

Chunxi seemed to see hope when he heard this and wiped away his tears, "Then we can only entrust our hope to Prince Yu."

Chunxi was so worried about Qin Xiao not only because she was worried that Qin Xiao would be forced to confess and harm the young lady.

She thought Qin Xiao was a good person and it was really a disaster sent from the sky.

Shen Liangdi was suspected of having an affair with a guard, and the news soon spread throughout the palace.

Inside the East Palace, there was even more discussion.

Shen Chuwei was so favored at first that people were jealous of her. Now that she has ended up like this, those jealous people are feeling so happy and blessed.

Li Liangyuan hadn't seen His Highness for half a year. She was deeply saddened when she heard the news.

"Shen Liang Di really let His Highness down. If His Highness treats me like this, I am willing to follow you to the grave and die with you."

"Isn't it? His Highness dotes on her so much, yet she's having an affair with his personal bodyguard? Cuckolding His Highness? I really don't understand what's going on in Concubine Shen's mind?"

Xu Chenghui turned his head to look at Chang Liangyuan, and said with a flattering smile: "Chang Liangyuan is still a sharp eye, discovering Shen Liangdi's scandal in time."

Chang Liangyuan held the teacup and sipped her tea elegantly: "I just feel sorry for Your Highness. How sad must you be to be misplaced?"

Xu Chenghui repeatedly said, "Chang Liangyuan is right. Shen Liangdi is completely finished this time."

When Concubine Xu learned about this, she was so angry that she even dropped the bowl in her hand, "Chang Liangyuan is so mean that she actually framed Shen Liangdi?"

Caixia cleaned up the broken bowls on the ground while soothing him, "My lady, don't be angry."

Concubine Xu snorted, "How can I not be angry? I'm about to become a godmother. Chang Liangyuan is really stubborn. When the Empress and His Highness come back, I will definitely teach her a lesson."

Caixia nodded in agreement, "Let's wait for the Queen and His Royal Highness to come back."

"No, I want to go see Didi Shen." Concubine Xu shook her handkerchief and walked out.

Caixia had no choice but to put the broken bowl down, told the palace maid to clean it up, and then she trotted after them.

When she met Tao Liangyuan outside, Concubine Xu went to greet her and asked, "Tao Liangyuan, have you heard about it?"

Tao Liangyuan looked worried, "I just heard the news and wanted to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to take a look."

Concubine Xu threw her handkerchief and said, "Then let's go together. I'm almost going to have a heart attack from anger."

The two walked towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion side by side.

Concubine Xu said angrily, "Hasn't Shen Liangdi's pregnancy been kept secret? How did Chang Liangyuan find out?"

"Shen Liangdi is favored by His Highness and the Empress. Chang Liangyuan is the Empress's niece. Seeing her aunt caring so much about someone else, she must be jealous. I guess she has already set her sights on Shen Liangdi. After finding any clues, she wanted to frame her." Tao Liangyuan said dimly.

Concubine Xu rubbed her hands in preparation, "Chang Liangyuan is such a scheming woman, I really want to crush her to death."

Tao Liangyuan patted Concubine Xu on the shoulder, signaling her to stay calm. "Okay, let's go see Concubine Shen first."

Concubine Xu nodded, "Yes."

When we arrived at the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there were usually guards guarding it, and this time was no exception. The only difference was that the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion was locked with an old copper lock.

As soon as Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan walked in, they were stopped by two guards.

"The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to visit Shen Liangdi."

His tone was cold, like that of an emotionless robot.

Concubine Xu said unhappily, "Shen Liangdi hasn't been convicted yet? Can't you even take a look?"

The guard said coldly: "No."

Tao Liangyuan took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and secretly put it into the guard's hand. "I just want to say a few words to Shen Liangdi and then leave. Is that okay?"

The two guards looked at each other, then nodded, "Just a few words and you'll have to leave."

"Thank you." Tao Liangyuan pulled Concubine Xu to the door and saw the lock on it.

Concubine Xu turned around and said to the guard, "Then open the door."

"No, if you want to talk, just talk outside." The guard still had a cold tone.

Tao Liangyuan pulled Concubine Xu over and said, "Concubine Xu, forget it, let's talk outside."

Concubine Xu was a little dissatisfied. She had collected the money but the door was not even opened. However, there was nothing she could do.

Chunxi just came out of the house and saw someone outside the door. From the fine satin clothes she wore, she could tell that the person was not a guard.

When she walked over, she heard Concubine Xu shouting, "Chunxi, quickly call Concubine Shen over."

Chunxi saw Concubine Xu nodding happily and said, "I will go and call my mistress now."

After saying that, he turned and ran inside.

At this time, Shen Chu was sleeping soundly and was awakened by Chunxi.

"My lady, Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan are here to see you."

Shen Chuwei woke up suddenly, got up with Chunxi's help, and went out.

From a distance, I saw a hand reaching in from the crack of the door, and a small green handkerchief was waving in the air.

Who else could it be except Concubine Xu?

When Shen Chuwei approached, she heard Concubine Xu anxiously asking, "Shen Liangdi, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chu shook his head slightly, "I'm fine, I'm just locked up, you don't have to worry."

"Shen Liangdi, just rest assured and take care of your baby. The emperor will definitely find out the truth and clear your name. The empress and the prince will be back soon, so don't worry." Tao Liangyuan comforted her.

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine."

Tao Liangyuan took out a bag of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into Shen Chuwei's hand, "I'll give you some cash, you can take care of anything."

Money makes the world go round, and Shen Chuwei was not polite.

"Okay, I'll take it then."

Concubine Xu wanted to say a few more words, but the guard behind her said in a cold voice, "Okay, it's time to go."

"Then we'll leave. You can take care of your baby."

Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan left Xiaoxiang Pavilion under the cold gaze of the guards.

Chunxi looked at the money in Shen Chuwei's hand. He had seen many examples of people taking advantage of others' misfortunes, taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, and becoming enemies in the palace.

She couldn't help but sigh, "They say a friend in need is a friend indeed. This is absolutely true. Concubine Xu and Tao Liangyuan really treat you sincerely."

Shen Chuwei chuckled: "I think so too."

At this time, the study

The emperor reviewed the memorials, and finally he simply put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at his son who was standing in front of the dragon desk.

"Yu'er, if you continue like this, I will get angry."

Xiao Jinyu turned the ink in his hand from time to time, and said aggrievedly: "But, father, if you are like this, I can't sleep well at night."

The emperor asked thoughtfully, "Is that so?"

"Of course. My nephew is still suffering. Shouldn't Father..."
