Chapter 398 Internal Criminal Division
How could ordinary people withstand the methods used by the Internal Criminal Department?
But at night, her wet nurse had confessed. She was just an ordinary woman, who was greedy for money and was coaxed by the manager, thinking only of a better life in the future...
I even thought a little hopefully that even if that happened, Concubine Jing had a prince and would not die. She was also a member of the Shen family and nothing serious would happen to her.
Shen Chuliu didn't care how she treated him. Who could be good to someone for a lifetime? Without expectations, there was naturally no sadness. The wet nurse had passed away, so there was no need to worry about hurting her feelings.
Doctor Liu is a man after all, he still has some backbone. If he refuses to admit it, he will die.
Unfortunately, Zhu Sizheng not only interrogated him, but also went to his house. Doctor Liu was originally from a poor family, but a month ago, he suddenly took a concubine.
The concubine was young, beautiful, and well-dressed, and it didn't seem like she could be supported by Doctor Liu's salary.
However, in the middle of the night, Doctor Liu could no longer bear the torture and confessed everything.
And that night, Shen Chuliu slept well as usual. The result would be known the next day, so it didn’t matter.
Shen Biyu didn't fall asleep the whole night. She never expected that Shen Chuliu would know it all at once. She had been planning for a long time, and she didn't even dare to let Zhijin know...
She was afraid, but also had a glimmer of hope. What if she couldn't find the answer?
At this point, she couldn't even think about how to bring down Shen Chuliu. She only hoped that she could protect herself. If the emperor knew everything, would she die immediately?
Or, can she save her life with the help of the Shen family?
I tossed and turned like this, and it was almost dawn.
When Zhijin came in and called her, her face was also pale. She knew nothing, but she guessed everything.
Today might be the day of her death. Shen Baolin didn't know how she could not escape death. But she was a slave, what could she do? She just regretted that she should not have followed him into the palace.
The good times are over before they even begin.
"Baolin, it's time to get up." It's time... to face it.
Shen Baolin nodded like a wandering soul. Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot, and she looked really embarrassed. But at this time, let alone Zhijin, everyone could see that something was wrong with Li Lu.
As for Xiu Jin, she had been hiding somewhere unknown.
Before leaving, Shen Baolin suddenly grabbed Zhijin and said, "Zhijin... I... what if I tell her that my grandmother forced her to enter the palace?"
"Baolin! Miss, are you crazy? If this matter is made public, who will admit it? My family won't acknowledge it. The Third Madam won't acknowledge it either!" Liang still has a son, she won't be so crazy.
"You will have no room for maneuver at that time. Even the Third Wife will abandon you and die!" Zhijin still had a trace of clarity.
"Shen Biqiong will, right? She's not doing well, will she?" Shen Baolin grabbed Zhijin tightly: "Tell me, will she?"
"No, no, she won't. She's not doing badly. She has children and status, and she will only stand on Jing Zhaoyi's side. Besides, if Jing Zhaoyi gets angry about this, can you still survive? Baolin, think about it!" Zhijin cried, "Baolin, your life is hanging by a thread now! Baolin!"
Shen Baolin fell silent and whispered, "My life is hanging by a thread? But what if those two people don't confess? Then I'll be fine..."
"Baolin, I hope so. Let's go." If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. If you hide your head, you will get a knife too. There is no way to avoid it.
Zhijin was even looking forward to all this happening soon, as the feeling of having a sword hanging over her head was too uncomfortable.
Shen Chuliu didn't arrive early today, but still earlier than Shen Baolin.
She was not in a hurry because the emperor and the queen were still having their meal.
Seeing that she was calm and composed, everyone was even more afraid to say anything.
Only Concubine Qian Shu couldn't stand it and insisted on speaking: "Looking at Jing Zhaoyi like this, she must have known something. If Jing Zhaoyi is not anxious, then Shen Baolin should be anxious. Tsk, they are all Shen family members anyway, I don't know how this matter will end."
This means that the sisters are killing each other, but Shen Chuliu can still sit still. It is actually a roundabout way of saying that she is cold and heartless.
"What Concubine Qian Shu said is interesting. When the Feng family was convicted, they couldn't write two Fengs with one stroke. What happened to you, Concubine Qian Shu at that time? Not only was you fine, you even got a title. I wonder if the title earned by the blood and flesh of old Lord Feng and your father and brother is good?"
Shen Chuliu was not polite to her and her expression changed with just one sentence.
"Shen Chuliu! Don't go too far!" This is the thing that Concubine Qian Shu can't bear to mention the most. Her family was ruined when her grandfather and father died, but she was used to being high and mighty. Now, what she is most sensitive about is people talking about her family.
"Sister Qian, why are you so excited? You are wasting your title." Concubine Kangde smiled and said, "Besides, what Jing Zhaoyi said is not wrong. It's just a pity for the Feng family."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me?" Concubine Qianshu looked at Concubine Kangde angrily.
"I was conferred the title of Consort Kangde by the Emperor himself, but Consort Qianshu, do you still think that now is the past? I don't know which of Consort Jing's words was wrong about you. If you are not convinced, just say it." Consort Kangde sneered. She rarely spoke like this, but it made Consort Qianshu even more upset and angry.
"Okay, you two are quite close, come and talk to me together. Humph. Shen Chuliu, even if you can escape, you can't escape from the Shen family." Concubine Qian Shu said maliciously.
"Then I can only be thankful that I already have a title, so I don't have to exchange the lives of my family members for it." Shen Chuliu sneered.
Concubine Qian Shu's chest heaved, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to be lethal enough, but at this time, the emperor and empress came out.
And Shen Baolin, who was late, finally came in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well." Everyone stood up and saluted.
Shen Baolin, who was a step late, also followed suit and bowed. She was so dizzy that she almost fell down, but was pulled back by Zhijin. Her face would make anyone suspicious. But at the moment, she really couldn't control herself.
"Send it to the Internal Criminal Department." Qi Yixiu just glanced at Shen Baolin and knew what was going on.
Soon, Zhu Sizheng arrived.
He stepped forward and handed the file in his hand to Chu Si: "Your Majesty, this is the signature of two people, the one on top is Imperial Doctor Liu, and the one on the bottom is Xu Yu Niang."
Xu Yu Niang was the name of Shen Chuliu's wet nurse's daughter.
Shen Chuliu sat very steadily, but Shen Baolin's forehead was covered with sweat.
Qi Yixiu glanced through it and handed it to the queen.
The queen looked at it and shook her head: "For the sake of money, this is really a courageous act."
