Xia Wenze frowned and said: "The eunuch of Ruizhu Palace, I saw him sneaking around with a fire certificate, but I didn't expect that he was going to set a fire! Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise..."
Shen Huan was not surprised and simply said: "You don't have to worry about me, just take that person to see the emperor!"
Xia Wenze felt that she was still shivering from the cold when she spoke, and said uneasily: "That person was tied up by me. Even if someone finds him, it doesn't matter. It's better to send you back first. You are in good condition so as not to catch a cold again."
His tone was insistent, and Shen Huan complied with his wishes. However, when he walked to Shangyang Palace, Shen Huan stopped and said to Xia Wenze: "After all, it was the Queen Mother who punished me. I'd better go and apologize to the Emperor. Go back and take a look." Is that person still there? Just don’t let anyone escape.”
Xia Wenze nodded and watched her go into Dongnuan Pavilion before turning back.
Mr. An was dozing off with his sleeves rolled up. Shen Huan walked in quietly, glanced at him sideways, and opened the curtain without being alarmed.
The warm wind inside the curtain suddenly woke up Mr. An. He opened his eyes and was startled when he saw Shen Huan.
Before she had time to report, Shen Huan had already turned around the screen and stood in front of Xichen.
Eunuch An was so frightened that he followed him and knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept saying that the slave was guilty.
Xichen frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "You don't even know about the report! Are you an old fool? Go down and receive the punishment yourself!"
Mr. An was so angry that he didn't dare to show his anger, so he went to collect the punishment.
Xichen noticed that Shen Wen's attire was strange, and the style of the robe seemed to belong to Xia Wenze. He knew something was wrong, so he asked softly: "What happened?"
Shen Huan immediately knelt down and said with neither humility nor arrogance: "My slave did something that was against the palace rules. The Queen Mother punished my slave, but she had no choice but to think of a fire in the courtroom. General Xia had to rescue my slave. I didn't dare to disturb the Queen Mother, so I came to apologize to the emperor."
Shen Huan lowered her head and couldn't see Xichen's purple face.
Hearing what she said, it turned out to be the Queen Mother
It was not that Xichen hadn't heard about Concubine Pei going to the Queen Mother to complain, so she thought it was no big deal. She could just remind Concubine Pei not to go too far. But she didn't expect that although the Queen Mother was soft-hearted, she was also a sincere person who worshiped the Buddha. How could she Will Huanwan be imprisoned in Siguotang? It seems that she has suffered a lot of grievances.
He calmed down the anger in his heart. After all, she is his biological mother and cannot disobey her.
He stepped forward to help Shen Huan up and said in a hoarse voice: "The Queen Mother was also instigated by others. Don't blame her."
Shen Huan shook his head slightly and said: "The Queen Mother punished the slave, and the slave had no complaints. It was indeed the slave's fault, and she should not have carried weapons with her."
Xichen asked confused: "What does this mean?"
Shen Huan repeated what the Queen Mother had said, and then said: "It's just that Si Guo Tang got lost for some reason. If General Xia hadn't arrived in time, Huan Huan would have gone underground to meet her parents." When he said this, his eyes widened. Red, I will shed tears
Xichen was anxious and angry, and the hand holding Shen Huan's shoulder gradually became stronger, with a wolf-like glare in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "What kind of place is Siguotang? There is nothing in it, how can a good person get away with it!" There must be someone with bad intentions who wants to commit murder! What a bastard!"
Shen Wen was pinched so hard that he snorted and he quickly let her go and said, "Where is Xia Wenze? I ordered him to protect you, but have you ever seen the person who set the fire?"
Shen Huan thought, it turned out that Xia Wenze was not rescued by chance, it turned out that he had deliberately arranged it
At this time, Xia Wenze was outside asking for a meeting, and Shen Huan immediately stepped aside and stood aside.
Xichen's face looked very bad, and Xia Wenze's face didn't look much better either.
"Where are the people?" Xichen asked
Xia Wenze knelt down and said with shame: "I am guilty."
Xichen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you catch him?"
Xia Wenze said: "No, I saw the man who set the fire. In order to save the young lady, I had to tie him up first. After sending the young lady over, I went to see that man. That man has..."
Shen Huan said coldly: "Is he dead?"
Xia Wenze's head hung lower. Xichen glanced at Shen Huan. He originally thought he had escaped, but unexpectedly he was dead.
Xichen gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to see him alive, you want to see his corpse! Even if you die, you must find out who his master is!"
Xia Wenze did not dare to hide his secrets, so he kowtowed and said: "Go back to the emperor. I know that person is a subordinate of Empress Pei of Ruizhu Palace."
Xichen thought about it and suddenly understood
First, she carried the eldest son of the emperor to the Queen Mother to complain and asked the Queen Mother to punish Shen Huan. She felt that the punishment was too light, so she deliberately burned Shen Huan to death! If Shen Huan was really dead and died in court, she could have pushed him to death. clean!
What a vicious strategy! What a ruthless Concubine Pei!
Xichen almost gritted her teeth and her chest heaved with anger. She pointed at Xia Wenze and said, "Go and throw the eunuch's body to Ruizhu Palace and ask Concubine Pei if she recognizes this person! If she refuses, If you admit it, send someone from Gong Zhengsi to come and give it a good trial!"
Xia Wenze and Shen Huan were both shocked. Gong Zhengsi was in charge of the punishment of concubines in the harem and was directly subordinate to the emperor. If he had not committed a major crime, Gong Zhengsi would not be involved.
Seeing that Xichen was so angry, Xia Wenze didn't dare to plead for mercy, and Shen Huan just frowned and said nothing, as if thinking about something.
Helpless, Xia Wenze had no choice but to accept the order.
