Concubine Rong felt like a mute who had eaten Huanglian, unable to speak or swallow.
Under Mu Qingchao's aggrieved face, there was a sneer.
Humph, I think back then, when Concubine Rong had no problem putting two faces into her palace, causing her to be infamous and misunderstood for no reason, she probably never thought about how she would feel when such a mute fell upon her.
This palace is a place for people to eat people. When she makes things difficult for others, she should also have such a day.
"Furthermore, what good can the Ai family gain by framing the imperial concubine? It seems more reasonable for the imperial concubine, seeing her mother's family commit a crime, to worry that the mother is more valuable than her son, so as to save her mother's family from disaster, right?"
Mu Qingchao has always been good at this, standing aside and pretending to be innocent, pretending to be pitiful, fanning the flames, and able to confuse people with just a few words.
When she said this, she had a smile on her face from beginning to end. Shen Muchi couldn't see it as she sat there. She raised her eyes, and the smile that was strange and smug fell into Concubine Rong's eyes.
Yes, she did it on purpose.
When she lost power and knelt down in Fulin Palace to plead for Princess Wan'an, didn't Concubine Rong have the same face?
Now I feel happy to fight tooth for tooth.
Such a smile really made Concubine Rong's hair explode all over her body.
"You..." she shouted!
"Stop your hypocrisy. What other tricks are you hiding? What are you thinking..."
"enough!"
Just when Concubine Rong was talking non-stop and wanted to bite her, Shen Muchi interrupted her.
Between her and Mu Qingchao, one was logical and well-founded, while the other was purely venting his emotions. Shen Muchi naturally had an idea of which side to believe.
"How long are you going to go crazy?"
The words were not said lightly, and the look in Shen Muchi's eyes that looked at her was only cold.
Concubine Rong's heart sank, she sat down on the ground and felt completely despaired.
But she can't fall down yet.
If she pleads guilty, not only will she be implicated, but also her parents, and the entire Zhenguo Princess Mansion...
"His Majesty……"
Concubine Rong knelt on the ground and walked a few steps in front of Shen Muchi.
"Your Majesty, I have known your Majesty since I was a child and am sincere to him. Doesn't your Majesty know that?
Your Majesty is the one who knows me well, so how can I use that person as a means to win favor?"
She was already very pale due to illness, but now that she was crying, she looked even more pitiful.
She said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?
It's okay for Your Majesty to doubt others. How can you doubt my concubine?
We have known each other for more than ten years. In these more than ten years, you still don’t know my concubine and what kind of person my mother is?
How could you now believe the villain's rumors and doubt the concubine and the princess's palace?"
Concubine Rong looked at the person in front of her and asked with tears in her eyes.
She is indeed puzzled...
She and Shen Muchi have known each other for many years, and they consider themselves different from other concubines.
Their friendship is deep and irreplaceable by others.
But why? Why does Shen Muchi seem to be a different person recently?
You know, in the past, even if Shen Muchi hunted a rabbit, he would eagerly deliver it to the princess's mansion...
At that time, she was standing in front of the mansion, looking at the rabbit with a smile on her face, and said angrily: "It's just a rabbit, it's worth your while."
Shen Muchi stood outside the door and said, "As long as it's for you, it's worth it."
As long as it's for you, it's all worth it...
The young man at that time was completely different from the cold and cold emperor in front of him.
The changes before and after are shocking.
However, Concubine Rong's words did indeed arouse a hint of soft-heartedness in Shen Muchi.
He was not as ruthless towards the entire Zhenguo Princess Mansion as the Zhong family, there was always some hesitant softness in him.
He is also a human being and cannot be restrained and calm in everything.
Even after hearing that Concubine Rong was pregnant, he thought about whether to keep the child.
Although this idea was quickly overturned, it didn't mean that he didn't feel guilty at all.
"Who was the imperial physician who diagnosed your pulse that day?" Shen Mu asked after a long while.
"Who is the imperial doctor who has been protecting your pregnancy recently?"
"Yes, it's Qin Zhengyan, the judge of Taiyuan Hospital." Concubine Rong Gui replied.
"Go and call Qin Zhengyan." Shen Muchi ordered Eunuch Lu beside him.
"yes."
Eunuch Lu responded and walked quickly towards the Imperial Hospital.
After Eunuch Delu left, Shen Muchi looked at Concubine Rong, his expression finally softened.
Then he looked at Concubine Rong and said, "Get up first."
"When Qin Zhengyan comes back, the two pieces of evidence will come to light. You are not in good health now, so you don't have to kneel for a long time."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
Eunuch Lu will be back soon.
He knelt down directly towards Shen Muchi: "Your Majesty, the Qin...Qin court judge has left."
"gone?"
One sentence surprised everyone.
"Isn't it his duty tonight? Why isn't he here?" Concubine Rong asked eagerly.
During this period, she had trouble sleeping every night. Xiaohong often went to the Tai Hospital to see him, so she always remembered the time when he was on duty very clearly.
"This..." Eunuch Lu looked embarrassed.
"This servant doesn't know very well, but I have been to Tai Hospital to look for it, and I saw that the place where Qin Yuanjian usually works is clean and tidy.
It's not like I left suddenly, but...it seems like I had planned it for a long time."
One sentence made this already shocking news even more exciting.
Concubine Rong stood shaky on the spot and almost fell down several times.
After a long while, she managed to regain her balance. She took a deep breath and asked Eunuch Lu: "What nonsense are you talking about? His hospital is in good order, so why did he leave suddenly?"
"This...servant doesn't know either."
After Eunuch Lu said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"However, I saw that there were a few things in Qin Yuanzheng's drawer, which I probably missed, so I brought them all together.
Maybe Your Majesty and Your Majesty will know something after seeing it?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Bring the things up quickly." Shen Mu said anxiously.
When Eunuch Lu heard this, he waved towards the door.
It was one of his apprentices who came up with a tray.
The young apprentice knelt on the ground, presented the things in front of everyone, and said, "Your Majesty, everything is here."
There's nothing unusual about what's there.
But there were two handwritten medical books, a writing brush, and a change of clothes. If there was anything that stood out, it was the jade bracelet.
Concubine Rong Guifei saw the jade bracelet at a glance, was startled, and subconsciously wanted to get it.
But just as he reached out his hand, Shen Muchi beat him to it.
Shen Muchi first took the jade bracelet in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He is a person with an excellent memory. He can remember 70% to 80% of anything that passes before his eyes.
"If I remember correctly, this is the bracelet, the one you usually wear on your hand."
He raised his head and looked at Concubine Rong. The murderous look in his eyes made Concubine Rong's hair stand on end...
