Chapter 433: Falling into a Trap (2/2)



"Shen Fu!"

Xiao Yu sat on the dragon throne and immediately scolded in a cold voice.

There was suppressed anger in her tightly knitted brows, and it was obvious that she didn't expect these words to come out of Shen Fu's mouth.

"I want you to take back what you said."

His Majesty's words were filled with uncontrollable anger. Chen Fu had rarely seen His Majesty show such a harsh expression.

He looked totally terrified.

She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of fear, and then tears filled her eyes.

The mist filled her eyes, but Shen Fu tried her best to hold back the tears from falling.

Xiao Yu was filled with anger, but after seeing those eyes, he suppressed it little by little.

The atmosphere in the room became awkward and no one spoke in silence.

Only the red-hot charcoal fire in the charcoal basin placed on the carpet made a crackling sound from time to time.

There was a soft 'crackling' sound, and at the same time there was a harsh sound.

"I have never thought of it that way."

Xiao Yu had a stern face, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Chen Fu.

The main hall is so spacious that you can't see the end at a glance.

There was only a small space for Shen Fu to stand. She just stood in front of him, with the snow fox cloak covering her body, leaving only a face as small as a palm.

The loose clothes covered her, making her look like a small ball.

But it was just this little ball, and the words that came out of its mouth were enough to make him angry to death.

After Xiao Yu finished saying this, Chen Fu still had no reaction.

He was silent, thought for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and walked on resigned to his fate.

"I believe you..." Before His Majesty finished speaking, the miserable voice of Concubine Shu Guipin was heard from the door again.

As if she knew that Shen Fu was inside, Concubine Shen's crying became more gentle and her voice became more pitiful: "Concubine Zhao is cruel and ruthless. First she framed me, and now she wants to poison and kill me to silence me."

"Your Majesty, please help me, Your Majesty."

His Majesty seemed to want to explain more, but after hearing this he fell silent.

Chen Fu took the opportunity to take a step back: "Your Majesty, please listen to what Concubine Shu has to say."

"No, if Concubine Shu Gui is wronged again, then I will really have no way to defend myself."

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand and pinched his brow, then shouted towards the door: "Let her in."

Outside the door, when Concubine Shu heard this, she fell down from her kneeling position.

Seeing this, the eunuch who delivered the message hurried over to help.

Shu Guipin helped Lin An stand up with the help of his hand, raised her head and looked at the open door in front of her, then took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty is finally going to see me."

When Shu Guipin said this, there was bitterness on her face. She knelt at the door for so long, but the Emperor refused to even look at her.

But when Shen Fu arrived, she just walked in so casually.

I don’t know what Chen Fu said to His Majesty behind her back while she was kneeling at the door for such a long time.

Just no matter what was said.

Today, she is going to blame Shen Fu for Fang Jinlan's problem!

When Shu Guipin came in, her legs couldn't help shaking. This was not an act, she just knelt for too long and her knees couldn't help but tremble.

When she walked into the house and felt the warmth from the charcoal fire in the stove, her frozen purple body couldn't help but shiver.

"Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage to you." Shu Guipin's knees went weak and she knelt on the ground.

Her knees hit the ground hard, but she didn't feel any pain.

She just raised her head and kept looking at the Emperor in front of her. Her face was pale from the cold wind. She bit her lip and a look of grievance appeared between her eyebrows.

Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze from Chen Fu, and when his eyes fell on Concubine Shu Guipin, they were already filled with a sinister coldness.

"Shu Guipin."

Shu Guipin had just finished speaking when she met His Majesty's gaze and her face instantly turned pale.

Why does His Majesty look like this?

Shu Guipin had no time to figure it out. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly bowed again: "Your Highness, your concubine greets you."

"You stood at the door begging to see me."

There was a cold look between Xiao Yu's eyebrows as he walked to the armchair beside him and sat down.

Then he said to the people below: "Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

Concubine Shugui has already noticed that something is wrong with His Majesty.

But she didn't know why.

I had to pretend to be calm and said, "I came here because of my sister, Fang Jinlan."

"Fang Jinlan is my sister. Even if she committed a terrible crime, Concubine Zhao has already imprisoned her in the Ministry of Punishment. Why did she send someone to kill her?!"

Shu Guipin knelt on the ground, feeling aggrieved, and her face was covered with tears as she spoke.

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, one teardrop after another falling down. They really look like a pair of loving sisters.

But this look was not pleasant to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu knew exactly what happened in the Ministry of Punishment. But what he didn't expect was that Shu Guipin not only drugged Chen Fu herself, but now turned the tables and framed Chen Fu.

"You said that it was Concubine Zhao who harmed Fang Jinlan?" There was disbelief in Xiao Yu's voice.

He really didn't expect that Concubine Shu would be so stupid.

But these words were not heard by Concubine Shu Gui: "Your Majesty, don't you believe it?"

Concubine Shu knelt down and said confidently: "I don't dare to believe it either, but someone came to report early in the morning that Fang Jinlan was poisoned in prison and is now unconscious and we don't know whether she is alive or dead."

When she said this, her throat choked with sobs: "She is my sister. Even if she committed a serious crime, Your Majesty has not yet said that she will be punished. How could Concubine Zhao be so cruel as to take her life directly?"

As Shu Guipin said this, she raised her head and was about to question Chen Fu: "Madam Zhao Fei, you have a cruel heart."

Chen Fu stood aside and just reminded him when she heard this: "If I remember correctly, which sister of yours just reported you for having an affair?"

"Could it be that Concubine Shu has forgotten so quickly?"

Shu Guipin felt disappointed.

Waiting for her to react, she hastily denied, "She did something wrong, but if His Majesty wants to punish me, I will accept it. But please don't do it in private, Concubine Zhao."

"Besides, she is my biological sister, and she is a member of the Fang family. But my sister accused me of having an affair for no reason. How could she, a newly-married girl, dare to do such a thing if no one was behind her?"

Shu Guipin knew that His Majesty had some suspicions, so she spoke to Chen Fu in a meaningful way.

It's obvious that they are going to put the blame on her?

Chen Fu couldn't help laughing when she saw Concubine Shu racking her brains.

But she didn't show it on her face, and then knelt down behind him: "I have never done it."

"I was the one who imprisoned Fang Jinlan in the Ministry of Punishment, but I never thought of killing her. Nor did I poison her as Shu Guipin said."

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly." Shu Guipin cried behind him.

She just managed to catch Chen Fu's weakness today. How could I let it go so easily?

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, swaying like a willow tree in the wind, with tears on his miserable face, looking pitiful and wronged.

But she didn't know that the more pitiful she acted, the more annoying Xiao Yu seemed to him.

The servants of the Ministry of Punishment had already handed in the memorial.

Shu Guipin poisoned Fang Jinlan herself in order to kill her, but in the end she wanted to pour the dirty water on Chen Fu's head.

The little bit of affection that Xiao Yu had for Shu Guipin disappeared completely because of this.

He opened the letter in his hand, but his eyes looked down: "I will give you another chance. Is it really Concubine Zhao who poisoned you?"

"Everything I said is true!"

Shu Guipin's heart beat rapidly, and then she straightened her waist, raised her palms and almost swore to the sky: "It was Concubine Zhao who poisoned Fang Jinlan."

"I swear to heaven, if it is me..."

Before she finished her words, a piece of paper came flying towards her face.

There was a blood streak under the corner of Shu Guipin's eye. She just covered her face when she heard Xiao Yu shouting: "Bitch! Look at yourself!"

"The Ministry of Punishment has already reported your poisoning to me. You are still pretending to be throwing dirty water on Concubine Zhao in front of me."

"Shu Guipin, how many lives do you have?"
