Xiao Yueze stood in front of Shen Luoxi without thinking. He drew his sword and looked at everyone warily.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the princess's argument!"
The emperor looked at him coldly, "Take them all together!"
Xiao Yueze's face darkened and he was about to lead Shen Luo Xi out to fight, but Shen Luo behind him stopped him.
Shen Luoxi turned around and gently placed the stillborn fetus next to the lifeless Concubine Wen, then stepped forward and said, "Someone gave Concubine Wen the abortion pill."
She looked at the emperor calmly, but the emperor just scolded: "I can see it clearly, you still dare to quibble?"
"Concubine Wen kept asking me to save her before she died, but you have no intention of stopping. If I don't deal with you, how can I be worthy of Concubine Wen and the emperor's spirit in heaven!"
Shen Luoxi remained silent.
Before she died, Concubine Wen looked at the emperor for help with tears on her face, which had already confirmed her guilt.
Even if Concubine Wen was not dead, she could not escape the suspicion of murdering the emperor's heir.
Shen Luoxi pursed her lips tightly and allowed the imperial guards to take her down.
Xiao Yueze wanted to save her, but was stopped again.
Shen Luoxi shook her head gently. If Xiao Yueze took action, her suspicion would be completely eliminated.
Xiao Yueze clenched his fists, with bulging veins on his forehead, and barely suppressed his impulse.
Shen Luoxi turned to look at the emperor, "I am innocent. Someone else killed Concubine Wen and the emperor's heir."
"Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty."
Her tone was calm and calm, which made the emperor even angrier.
"That's enough! I don't want to listen to your sophistry anymore! I only believe that seeing is believing!"
Shen Luoxi spoke calmly, "If I am really the one who killed Concubine Wen and the emperor's heir, why didn't you leave before the emperor and the prince arrived? If I stay here, isn't it a dead end?"
The emperor frowned, "Yunxuan and I arrived in time, but you didn't have time to escape, so you were caught by us!"
"It's in vain that Concubine Wen trusts you so much, but you want to put her to death! Put her in a prison!"
Shen Luoxi said no more, because she knew that no matter what she said at this moment, the emperor would not believe her.
She was taken away by the imperial guards. When passing by Cang Yunxuan, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, and then she saw his cold eyes without any surprise.
Cang Yunxuan saw his mother-in-law die in front of him, how could he not hate her?
She looked at Xiao Yueze, opened and closed her mouth a few times before turning her head.
Xiao Yueze's expression became serious, and his eyes fell on the tea table not far away.
The emperor walked to Concubine Wen's bedside, looked at the already formed male fetus next to her, and his face instantly fell.
"Today I want to know the reason why she did this!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Changle Palace.
Changle Palace fell into a dead silence for an instant, and only the smell of blood on the tip of the nose told of the tragedy here just now.
Cang Chenru hurriedly ran in and tripped over a stool that fell to the ground.
When he saw Concubine Wen who had lost her breath, he fell directly to the ground.
"M-Mother concubine!"
He crawled to Concubine Wen's side and cried until he was hoarse.
Cang Yunxuan's eyes were also red, and she clenched her hands tightly into fists, trying desperately to restrain her emotions that were close to collapse.
At this time, Xiao Yueze walked to the tea table, picked up the tea cup and was about to walk out, but there was a huge pulling force behind him that stopped him in his tracks.
"What did you take!"
"Did you know that Shen Luoxi wanted to harm my mother and concubine early in the morning?"
Cang Yunxuan asked angrily, raised her fist and swung it towards his face.
Xiao Yueze frowned and blocked it, "I don't have time to waste with you. The princess is innocent."
"How innocent she is!" Cang Yunxuan roared, "I saw her take out the child from the mother-in-law's belly with my own eyes, and I saw clearly the way the mother-in-law cried for help!"
"The princess made it very clear that someone gave Concubine Wen the abortion pill. As for who did it, the prince knows very well." Xiao Yueze said calmly.
The two faced off like this until a hoarse voice broke the deadlock.
"Third brother, please stop arguing with Mr. Xiao." Cang Chenru said hoarsely: "Let's not draw conclusions before the dust settles."
"We have witnessed how my sister-in-law has treated my mother and concubine in the past few months. There is no reason for my sister-in-law to harm my mother and concubine."
Cang Yunxuan frowned, "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts, Chen Ru, do you really believe in her that much?"
Cang Chenru shook his head and said in a choked voice: "I believe that seeing is believing. Third brother, please let Mr. Xiao go and investigate first."
"Let's... let's deal with the mother-in-law's death first..."
Cang Yunxuan gritted her teeth and could only watch Xiao Yueze leave.
…
Xiao Yueze found Situ Yan as quickly as possible. He was pulled aside by Xiao Yueze as soon as he walked out of the farmer's house.
Situ Yan was startled and almost thought he had been robbed.
He looked at Xiao Yueze in confusion and smelled a faint smell of blood.
"Are you injured?" He suddenly became nervous, "Or is the princess injured?"
Xiao Yueze took a deep breath and told Situ Yan succinctly what happened in the palace. Situ Yan became serious after hearing this.
"Where's the teacup?"
Xiao Yueze immediately took out the tea cup from his arms and handed it to Situ Yan. He took it and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
"This cup doesn't look strange..."
He looked at it for a long time, and then took out a white porcelain bottle as if he remembered something.
"This is the drug test powder the general gave me earlier!"
Xiao Yueze said solemnly: "Abortion pills are not considered poisonous. Can the poison test powder detect it?"
Situ Yan became embarrassed when he heard this, "Now I can only think of this solution, and I can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor."
As he spoke, he poured the poison testing powder into the teacup.
"If the powder turns red, it is poisonous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup instantly turned red.
Situ Yan's eyes widened, "How many poisons have this teacup been exposed to? It's so red that even a deity would have to die half of his life!"
Xiao Yueze's face darkened, he took the teacup and turned to leave, but Situ Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"Enter the palace to meet the Holy Emperor and let the Emperor see this cup." Xiao Yueze said seriously.
When Situ Yan heard this, he quickly grabbed the teacup.
"You are so concerned that you become confused!" He analyzed to Xiao Yueze: "Now that the emperor is angry, do you think the emperor can listen to what you say?"
"Maybe not only will you not listen, but you will also be arrested. If you are also thrown into prison, what will happen to the princess? The only person who can save her now is you."
Xiao Yueze retracted his raised hand with a solemn expression.
That's right, he can't be impulsive now. He is the only one who can save Shen Luoxi.
…
At night, Shen Luoxi was thrown into the prison with injuries all over his body.
Although all the blood on her face was gone, her expression did not change at all, as if she was not the one who had just experienced several kinds of torture.
The guard looked at her and spat fiercely, "We haven't asked anything today, the emperor will definitely reprimand us!"
"Hey, young master..."
Before the two of them finished speaking, they suddenly fell to the ground.
Shen Luoxi stood up slowly and looked at them coldly.
