Shen Chuwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Xiao Jinyu always speaks the truth, I like it.
The emperor reprimanded in a deep voice: "Yu'er, you are so insolent."
Xiao Jinyu restrained his tone a little bit and said, "Father, the baby in Shen Liangdi's belly is my nephew. Father, you don't recognize this grandson, but I recognize this nephew."
The emperor looked at his son. His temper was exactly the same as the queen's when she was young, irritable and stubborn, yet he still protected Shen Liangdi.
"Yu'er, do you think I don't want Shen Liangdi to be pregnant with my grandson? But the fact is not that. Your mother was deceived by Shen Liangdi. Don't be deceived."
"Father, your Majesty, your son and I are both adults, and we have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."
As Xiao Jinyu spoke, he glanced at the imperial doctors and grabbed one of them by the collar, as if he was going to beat him up.
"You old fool, you said that Concubine Shen is not pregnant with my nephew? Who gave you the courage to say that?"
If the emperor wasn't present, Shen Chuwei would have wanted to applaud, Xiao Jinyu is so cool! Chunxi felt a little comforted watching Xiao Jinyu protecting the young lady. She was really scared just now, fearing that the emperor would punish her without any reason.
"Prince Yu, your humble servant..." The old imperial physician didn't dare to speak a word as he had already been frightened by Xiao Jinyu.
Seeing that the old fool didn't dare to speak, Xiao Jinyu let him go and grabbed another person's collar, "You are so young, but you can't even take a pulse? Do you know what you are saying?"
At this moment, Xiao Jinyu was full of domineering aura, and was secretly proud of himself. If the prince knew that I was so protective of my sister-in-law, he would definitely praise him.
Imperial Physician Feng was so frightened that he dared not say a word.
The emperor looked at his son and realized that he was getting bolder and bolder. He even threatened people in public?
"Yu'er, I will handle this matter, you go back to me."
Xiao Jinyu could tell that the emperor was angry, so he had no choice but to loosen the imperial physician's collar and straighten it. He smiled and said, "Are you scared now? It's okay. This is nothing. When the truth comes out, your death will also come."
Imperial Physician Feng’s face turned pale.
The emperor angrily slammed the low table, causing the teacup on the low table to tremble. "Yu'er, do you really want me to have you taken away?"
Xiao Jinyu suppressed his temper again and came before the emperor cautiously.
He looked at his father, whose face was full of majesty, and reached out his hand to calm the angry emperor. He said sincerely, "Father, don't be angry. It's not good for your health to get angry."
Shen Chuwei looked at the scene in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity.
It is said that a tiger's ears should not be touched, but Xiao Jinyu actually dared to calm an angry tiger. He is really brave!
The emperor looked at his son's actions coldly, and suddenly remembered that when his son was a child, he looked like a girl.
The queen dressed him in beautiful skirts. When he was angry, everyone was afraid of him, except Yu'er, who lay on him and let him hug her. She also helped him calm down and said in a baby voice, "Father, replenish your energy."
Thinking of this, the emperor's anger subsided a lot.
"Stand still, what's wrong with that?"
"Yes, father." Xiao Jinyu immediately stood up straight, as if he was not the one who had caused a scene in Fengyi Palace just now.
The emperor looked at his son and said, "Don't worry about this matter."
Whatever? "No matter what, Shen Liang Di is the Crown Prince's woman. We should wait until the Crown Prince comes back to interrogate her carefully."
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Xiao Jinyu brought up the Empress again.
"My mother has a very good relationship with Shen Liang Di. If my father convicts her without finding out the whole story, my mother will definitely be very sad when she returns."
The emperor thought about how the queen had been so nice to Shen Liangdi these days, but had been so cold to her husband. Was she sad? I am sad too! Wasn't he sad that his daughter, whom he had waited so long for, was gone? But what about the queen?
Left me and went to the White Horse Temple~
The emperor became angrier and angrier, but there was nothing he could do.
Now he is looking at his son and protecting Shen Liangdi.
"Yuer is right."
Xiao Jinyu's peach blossom eyes curved: "Father also thinks that what I said is right, can we release Shen Liangdi now?"
"Let her go?" The emperor glanced at Shen Liangdi, "Now the evidence is irrefutable, I am showing leniency by not executing her immediately."
Compared with Concubine Chu who was executed on the spot for having an affair with a guard, Shen Liangdi is indeed being let off the hook now.
Xiao Jinyu corrected him fearlessly, "Father is only half right. The evidence now cannot prove that Shen Liangdi is guilty. The fact that he did not execute her immediately shows that Father is wise and decisive."
The emperor snorted, "Stop talking nonsense in front of me."
Xiao Jinyu chuckled.
Chang Liangyuan watched Xiao Jinyu protect Shen Liangdi so much and act so unbridled in the palace. No wonder her mother said that Yu'er was the most favored among all the princes and the most likely to be made the crown prince.
Let her marry Prince Yu, and she will surely become the Crown Princess.
She fell in love with Xiao Jinyan at first sight, so she refused.
Later, the emperor made Xiao Jinyan the crown prince, to everyone's surprise.
It also made her believe that her original choice was correct.
Seeing him today, I can see that Prince Yu is spoiled to the point of being lawless.
Seeing that the emperor was about to be persuaded by Xiao Jinyu, Chang Liangyuan could not help herself, "Prince Yu, I know that you have a very good relationship with Shen Liangdi, and I also know that you are kind and easy to be deceived. There is solid evidence that Shen Liangdi had an affair with the guard. If His Highness knew about it, how sad would he be?"
Xiao Jinyu looked at Chang Liangyuan coldly and snorted, "Brother Crown Prince will be sad indeed. Someone actually wants to murder his own flesh and blood."
"Prince Yu, my loyalty to His Highness is evident to all. If I do not expose the affair between Shen Liangdi and the guard now, His Highness will be even more heartbroken when he finds out in the future.
Chang Liangyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true, and I have never lied."
Xiao Jinyu said: "Father, I think..."
Xiao Jinyu had no choice but to shut up and turned his head to glare at Chang Liangyuan.
The emperor glanced at Shen Chuwei coldly.
Shen Chuwei immediately lowered her eyes. Looking directly at the emperor was a serious sin.
The emperor ordered sternly: "Imprison Shen Liangdi in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and keep her under strict surveillance until the truth is found out before making any further decisions."
Xiao Jinyu wanted to plead for mercy, but was interrupted by the emperor's eyes, so he had to give up.
Shen Chuwei was escorted back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion by the guards. This time it was not just house arrest, but imprisonment, like a criminal.
The emperor ordered again: "Arrest Guard Qin and interrogate him strictly."
Chang Liangyuan saw Shen Liangdi being arrested, but she didn't immediately sentence her to death. She always had a hidden danger. If her aunt came back, she would do her best to protect Shen Liangdi...
She would not let this happen, and this time Shen Liangdi must not be able to stand up.

* Qin Xiao just came back from Lu Zhaoyan. He wanted to know who the beautiful bride he was going to marry was so that he could make preparations early. However, Lu Zhaoyan refused to tell him, which made him very anxious.
On the way back, you will be surrounded by a group of guards.
"Someone, arrest Qin Xiao."
When Qin Xiao saw that they were the Imperial Guards, and that only the emperor could command the Imperial Guards, he knew that they came on the emperor's orders, so he did not refute.
It was not until he was put in jail and interrogated that Qin Xiao realized that he had been falsely accused of having an affair with Shen Liangdi...
This is such a huge joke.
No matter how Qin Xiao explained, no one believed him.
What he faced was strict interrogation, which naturally involved torture.
A place like Tianlao would leave everyone with broken bones and skin.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion
After Shen Chuwei was pushed in by the guards, the door was slammed shut with a bang.
Then came the sound of the lock being locked.
Chunxi was already crying, "My lady, what should we do now? If the emperor completely believes Chang Liangyuan's words, my lady, we are finished."
Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi who was crying loudly. She patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. Aren't we fine now?"
"But, it will get worse soon." Chunxi's tears flowed even harder, "My dear, what should I do with the baby?"
Shen Chuwei touched her belly and said, "The babies said they are hungry."
Chunxi's crying stopped abruptly. She looked at Shen Chuwei's belly and wiped her tears. "I will go cook now. We can't let the baby go hungry."
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously and smiled: "Baby said he wanted to eat braised pork."
Chunxi burst into laughter. The young lady wanted to eat it herself, but she said the baby wanted to eat it. It was true.
"I will go and make the braised pork right away."
Although Xiaoxiang Pavilion is locked now, there is still surplus food in the small kitchen, and there is some meat, which is kept in ice.
At lunch, Shen Chuwei ate several mouthfuls of braised pork, glancing at Chunxi from time to time. Seeing that Chunxi did not ask her to eat in moderation as usual, she ate with confidence.
The result of eating and drinking too much is overeating.
Shen Chuwei lay on the couch, touching her belly with contentment.
After Chunxi cleaned up the dishes, she came to the couch and looked at Shen Chuwei lying there leisurely, without any worry at all.
"My Lord, we need to think of a way to solve the dangerous problem at hand."
Shen Chu nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense."
Chunxi looked at Shen Chuwei expectantly after hearing this, "Then has the young lady come up with a solution?"
Uh! Shen Chuwei shook his head, "Not yet."
Chunxi's newly ignited hope was instantly shattered, "I thought the young lady had a solution."
Shen Chuwei smiled awkwardly. In fact, her mind was a mess and she was very sleepy.
Chunxi's eyes were filled with worry: "My lady, will Qin Xiao be tortured into confessing?"
Shen Chuwei said: "It shouldn't be the case. Qin Xiao is the prince's personal bodyguard. Besides, he would rather die than surrender for something he has never done."
Chunxi added: "I heard that the prison is horrible. If you go in, you will break bones and peel off skin. Even if Qin Xiao is a tough guy, it's too much for him."
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "What you said makes sense. Who doesn't fear pain? It's just a matter of whether you can endure it or not."
She looked at Chunxi, "Should we try to get him some medicine?"
Chunxi nodded vigorously, "My lady, how about anesthetic? This way he won't be afraid of pain when being tortured."
Chunxi has been with Shen Chuwei for so long that he knows the wonderful uses of anesthetics.
"What medicine to send is not the problem. The problem is that we can't get out, so we need someone to help us deliver it." Shen Chuwei was a little worried.
