Mr. Wu didn't react for a moment and watched blankly as Shen Luoxi handed a stack of letters to the emperor.
When he saw the paper the letter was written on, the color drained from his face.
Those letters should have been hidden by him in a secret room. Where did Shenluoxi get them?
His eyes were evasive, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't know how to quibble.
"Your Majesty, these are letters exchanged between Master Wu and other masters' sons." Shen Luoxi said, "My father is not the first person to be framed by them in this way, let alone the last one."
"I hope the emperor will investigate strictly and prevent any ministers from suffering such injustice again!"
The emperor read the letters at a glance, and his face darkened.
He looked at Mr. Wu coldly, "What is the crime of giving and receiving privately? Do you need me to tell you?"
Mr. Wu was shaking like chaff. He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this is all Princess Xuan's slander against me! Unless Princess Xuan can prove that these letters are from me!"
Shen Luoxi raised his eyebrows, "The flower girls in Baihua Pavilion are all witnesses. How could Mr. Wu brag in front of them? Have they all forgotten?"
She saw Mr. Wu's face turned pale, and then slowly looked away.
After she returned home last night, she did some calculations and rushed to Wangyun Tower at night. After she figured out that the key was Baihua Pavilion, Hao Yan asked her men to go there.
A frequent visitor to Mr. Wu's Baihua Pavilion, as long as he gives his name and enough money, he can easily ask what he wants to ask from Hua Niang.
When facing the flower lady, Mr. Wu not only spends a lot of money, but also has no taboos. He dares to say anything regardless of whether he is drunk or not.
These letters are naturally located in the mouth of Cai Hua Niang.
The emperor looked at Mr. Wu coldly and said, "Master Wu is famous for his strict family tradition in Beijing. I don't expect to have raised a son like you."
"What else do you want to argue with?"
Mr. Wu fell to the ground with a pale face, unable to refute a word.
The emperor said coldly: "Here comes, take him down."
"Let Prime Minister Shen be released from prison and let the imperial doctor take care of him."
The eunuch took the order and ran out of the imperial study room in large strides.
The emperor looked at Shen Luoxi and said, "Fortunately Princess Xuan is here, otherwise I would have wronged Prime Minister Shen."
"It's a blessing for Jingguo that the emperor is aware of everything. Even if I can't find any evidence, the emperor will find a way to investigate the matter." Shen Luoxi lowered his eyes.
"Princess Xuan is still as good at talking as ever." The emperor smiled, "I feel relieved to have you by Yun Xuan's side."
"You should take Prime Minister Shen back to have a good rest. There is no need to go to court for the next few days."
Shen Luoxi kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the group of people walked out of the Imperial Study Room, they went straight to the Imperial Hospital. When they entered the door, they saw the haggard Shen Xiang.
"Father!"
Shen Liubai and Shen Huimo hurriedly walked up and looked up and down. After confirming that Shen Xiang was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Shen Xiang smiled weakly.
The imperial doctor took back his hand to check the pulse and said, "Xiang Shen is not seriously ill, but he is old and has suffered some hardships. He will be able to recover after going back to rest for a few days."
Shen Liubai hurriedly thanked the imperial doctor, and then carefully helped Prime Minister Shen up.
Until she walked out of the palace gate, Shen Luoxi just watched quietly from behind without saying a word.
When Shen Xiang stepped onto the carriage, he suddenly paused for a moment, turned around and glanced at Shen Luoxi, "You... have worked hard."
Shen Luoxi looked calm, "This is what a daughter should do. Father, please go back and rest."
Prime Minister Shen nodded and walked onto the carriage with Shen Liubai.
When Shen Huimo stepped onto the horse stool, Shen Luoxi said lightly, "Second brother, please remember today's lesson."
Shen Huimo's face was ugly, and he stepped hard on the horse stool, as if to vent his hatred.
She watched the carriage go away before turning around and leaving.
Shen Luoxi got on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. After Xiao Yueze heard the breathing inside became quieter, he asked the coachman to walk slower.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the palace, and Xiao Yueze gently woke up Shen Luoxi.
Shen Luoxi got off the carriage and walked into the palace, where she met Cang Yunxuan and Ning Yanran.
She frowned slightly and was about to ignore them, but Ning Yanran stopped her.
"Why did sister go out so early? The prince and I are about to enter the palace to see Concubine Wen. Can sister go with us?"
Hearing this, Shen Luoxi looked at her and said with a smile, "Sister, you really care about Concubine Wen."
Ning Yanran smiled coyly, "Your Majesty's mother and concubine, I naturally have to fulfill my filial piety in front of my knees."
"It's a pity that I'm just a concubine and can't come and go as freely as my sister. It would be great if I also had medical skills like my sister."
Cang Yunxuan said softly: "As long as you want, I will take you into the palace."
"Your Majesty..."
The two looked at each other lovingly, and Shen Luoxi felt nauseated. She rolled her eyes calmly, "The fetus of Concubine Wen is not yet stable. I advise the prince not to bring my sister into the palace."
"If I accidentally bump into Concubine Wen, all my efforts these days will be in vain."
Shen Luoxi's words were so straightforward that Ning Yanran's eyes turned red instantly.
She looked at Cang Yunxuan with tears in her eyes, her voice slightly choked, "Your Majesty, my sister is right, I am not as smart as my sister. If I accidentally startle Concubine Wen's fetus, I really can't bear it."
"Please also ask the prince to give these cakes to Concubine Wen on my behalf..."
Cang Yunxuan lowered her face, raised her hand to hold hers, and turned to glare at Shen Luoxi, "Yanran took good care of me on the battlefield. I know what kind of person she is."
"Don't think that if you take care of your mother and concubine for a few days, I will forgive you for your presumption!"
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously and glanced at Ning Yanran with his peripheral vision, "Since the prince insists on this, I don't need to persuade him."
"It's just that there is something wrong with Concubine Wen's fetus. My sister needs to be more patient."
She turned around to leave, and Cang Yunxuan reached out to grab her, but was blocked by Xiao Yueze.
Xiao Yueze waved away his hand and looked at him coldly, "The princess is tired. The prince and the concubine want to do whatever they want. The prince can do it himself."
"Anyway, the princess has said everything she needs to say. The prince will bear the consequences."
Shen Luoxi said: "Yueze, let's go."
The two of them walked into the palace one after another, paying no attention to the people behind them.
Cang Yunxuan looked ugly and slowly let go of Ning Yanran's hand.
"Your Majesty..." Ning Yanran called softly: "Let's enter the palace quickly, don't let..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cang Yunxuan interrupted her, "I won't enter the palace today. You can go back to the courtyard."
Ning Yanran was stunned and watched him get on his horse and head towards the palace.
She bit her lower lip and looked at Cang Yunxuan's back reluctantly.
Just a little bit closer!
At the same time, in Prince Lian's Mansion, Prince Lian looked at the secret guard in front of him displeased.
"What did the Queen Mother say? Did she plead with Father on my behalf?"
