It was clearly the crown prince who had exterminated Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan in an attempt to force the palace to usurp the throne, but Shen Youhuang had reversed the situation and added fuel to the flame, turning the originally innocent into someone who was deeply scheming and harboring evil intentions. She had turned Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan, who wholeheartedly wanted to exterminate and protect the emperor, into a ferocious "great thief" of the country.

The emperor and empress dowager were both dumbfounded. They looked at the indignant Shen Youhuang and then at the stern Shen Lingjue. It was impossible to tell if they were real or fake.

"Why did this happen …" The Emperor heard this and felt so heartbroken that he almost fainted. "Ling Jue, you have always been indifferent to fame and fortune and never competed for power. I thought you had no intentions of doing anything about the throne … Since you don't agree with the crown prince, you can just impeach him if you have a good reason. If you want the throne, ask your father for it, would father not give it to you? Why do you want to rebel and kill the monarch more than your own brother! "

Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth, his heart chilled to the extreme.

The previous trust between father and son had vanished. He couldn't help but think of the despair in mufei's eyes before her death.

All of this was because of the struggle for power within the empire!

In the monarch's house, where power ruled everything, there was no father or son, only the monarch and his subjects.

Having lost his loved ones since childhood, the hatred he had buried in his heart was finally no longer suppressed.

"Royal father, you still don't believe in me, just like how you didn't believe in my grandfather, Du Xiangyang, or my mother's concubine … I have never coveted your royal power for my own selfish desire! "

"Even if Shen Di were to personally stand here today and point at my nose and say that it was I who killed him, I would still say that I did not! If royal father does not believe in this subject, why not reduce this subject to a commoner and banish him to the border! "

"You!" The Emperor was angered to the point that his face turned ashen, and he almost fainted from anger.

Startled, the empress dowager clapped the armrests of her chair. "Jue'er! Don't say such nonsense! What happened to Shen Di's death, or should I wait for the justice courts to investigate it? Aren't you angry at your royal father for saying this? "

Imperial Concubine held the emperor's hand. "Your majesty, please don't listen to just one side of the story. King Yu has always been your favorite prince. If he wanted to fight for the throne, he would have already tried to win his position in the court and win over the court's support. "There's no need for him to wait until the crown prince is full of energy and forces him to rebel. Your majesty, think twice …"

Even concubines like the Empress Dowager and Imperial Consort could think calmly, but the Emperor did not trust his son.

Feng Ningyan could not help but sneer in her heart. Power was indeed the thing that could most confuse people, it could even forcibly sever their blood ties.

The emperor panted as he asked Shen You, "Prince Cheng, when will the evidence you speak of be sent to the capital?"

"Reporting to royal father, the documents and evidence must have been sent over eight hundred kilometers in an emergency transmission. They should be able to reach the capital in two days."

Shen Youhuang lowered her eyes and feigned sadness as she replied.

Hua Ruyu stood next to Shen Youhuang. Although she didn't have a smile on her face, her eyes were filled with scorn and a cold sneer.

This time the evidence is conclusive, Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, you guys can't escape the guilt no matter what, right?

"Good!" Pass my order, that during the trial, King Yu, Shen Lingjue, will be imprisoned in Guanju Palace! Esteemed wangfei, Feng Ning Yan, is being escorted to the justice court's prison for trial! "

The Emperor gave the order without hesitation.

"Father!" Shen Ling Jue looked at the emperor in grief, closed his eyes and shook his head, giving a mournful smile, "Royal father, you are actually already unconscious!"

At this time, Feng Ning Yan suddenly pushed Shen Ling Jue away, and stood out, smiling coldly: "You don't have to go through so much trouble, and even went through all the trouble to gather the men to interrogate us. "I admit, I, Feng Ningyan, sent someone to kill Shen Di!"

This sentence shocked everyone.

The emperor looked at Feng Ningyan in disbelief. The empress dowager and imperial concubine also looked at a loss.

Shen You Huang and Hua Ruyu hadn't thought that Feng Ning Yan wouldn't even admit her punishment, and now she had come out herself to confess to killing Shen Di.

Hua Ruyu knew that Feng Ningyan was acting like a retard and wanted to save Shen Ling Jue, so she couldn't help but panic. "Feng Ning Yan! "You're talking nonsense …"

Feng Ning Yan's gaze turned cold as she looked at Hua Ruyu. Her eyes were like a biting cold wind mixed with snow, frightening Hua Ruyu to the point that she couldn't say a single word.

Shen Ling Jue held her back: "Don't speak nonsense! "This is a death sentence …"

Feng Ning Yan laughed: "Your Highness, I really sent people to make it. I know that there are still survivors of the princes' party in the court. Shen Di and her followers will not give up. Even if Shen Di is crippled, she will still wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack. If he lives, we won't be able to rest or eat in peace. We might as well get rid of him as soon as possible! It's just that I know that His Highness is soft-hearted.

Her words were all part of Shen Youhuang's plot.

She couldn't let Shen Ling Jue be framed, so she took over this huge crime herself.

She looked at Shen Ling Jue, her smiling eyes were full of hope, as though telling him, as long as you are safe and sound, there will be a chance to prove my innocence!

Shen Ling Jue held her shoulders tightly, "Yan'Er …"

Feng Ning Yan shook her head slightly. Her eyes were full of pleading, begging him not to be so impulsive, to not be silly at this moment and say "We advance and retreat together".

Shen Ling Jue's fingers couldn't help trembling, pinching her shoulders in pain …

At this time, the imperial concubine looked at the two of them staring at each other dumbly. She burst into tears and could not help but kneel in front of the emperor:

"Your majesty, the crown prince was the first to commit the crime of embezzlement, and the first to order Li Yu to frame his concubine for her pregnancy. With so many evil deeds, could it be that King Yu forced him to do them?" "If he exposed Shen Di's crime, it would all be part of his plan. Could it be that even if King Yu and his wife knew that the Emperor was in danger, they would still stand by and watch without doing anything?"

She turned her head to look at Shen Youhuang and Hua Ruyu and hatefully said, "There are some who pretend to be righteous and cry out injustice for Shen Di, but I don't know who was the one who came up with this plan at her side! If the Emperor wants to investigate, he should also investigate the princes and sons of princes. If he believes, he should also believe that he saved the Emperor's life! "

Even though imperial concubine treasured her status as the noble one that was hard to come by, she also knew that Shen You Huang was the crown prince's poison tooth. Only Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan had the ability to pull out the poison tooth.

From the moment she decided to get close to Feng Ning Yan, she already knew the truth of lips and teeth chills.

When the empress dowager heard this, she also felt that this made sense. "Your majesty, Jue'er was loyal and filial since he was young. This Dowager feels that he definitely wasn't the one who killed her brother …"

The emperor had long since lost his wits when he heard the imperial concubine and empress dowager plead for justice.

"Enough! Don't say anymore! " The emperor was frustrated. He stood up and shouted, "Since Princess Yu has already admitted to it, then we shall still take in the female overseer of the justice courts. As for King Yu … He is forbidden to leave the capital until the case is investigated! "

After which, he flicked his sleeves and left.

When Feng Ningyan heard that the Emperor had finally let Shen Lingjue go, she smiled in a gratified manner and hugged him tightly.

"Your Highness, you have to take good care of yourself …"

Before she could finish her sentence, the Imperial Guard pulled her away, "Princess Yu, please!"
