Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 285: Let Concubine Wen suffer in the Ministry of Punishment

Nangong Xuanyu never doubted Shen Zhinian about what happened today.

It's not just because Nian Nian is simple and kind, she is not the kind of person who is petty and vindictive.

But she was the mistress of a palace, still in great favor, and pregnant with the royal heir. Would she have had to plot to murder an unfavored concubine?

However, the agate beads on Shen Nanqiao's collar appeared in the hands of Dong Yan, who committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the red blood drencher fell from her body. Everyone thought that this was instigated by Nian Nian.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion watching covetously from the side, even if the emperor believes in Shen Zhinian, he needs evidence to convince the public.

He looked at Shen Nanqiao and asked in a deep voice: "Lu Shenshi, do you have anything to explain?"

After two lifetimes, I talked to the emperor again, and his tone was still so cold...

Shen Nanqiao suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she was framed in the harem, but she couldn't put down her face to explain, and just pouted and said that she had no way to defend herself. As a result, the emperor was too lazy to spend time on her and directly convicted her.

At this moment, Shen Nanqiao was so scared that she dared not pretend to be noble, and kept defending herself, "Your Majesty, everything Concubine Rou said is true! I just talked to her outside for a while, and I didn't plan to harm anyone at all!"

"I don't know where this pack of Hedinghong came from..."

At this point, Shen Nanqiao suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I remember it now!"

"On my way back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I was knocked down by a reckless little palace maid! She must have taken the opportunity to snatch the agate beads from my lapel and put the evidence on me!"

"That little palace maid must be the Dongyan mentioned by the eunuch Shenxingsi. She deliberately framed me! Your Majesty, you must believe me!"

Since there's no point in trying to defend herself, why not just try to explain herself?

Jiang Wange looked at this scene, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

In the book, it was Shen Nanqiao who entered the palace. Didn't she always like to pretend to be as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, and no matter what happened, she would just pout and say that those who are innocent are innocent? Why did she open her mouth this time and know how to defend herself?

Jiang Wange suppressed the doubts in her heart and said coldly: "Dong Yan is dead. There is no evidence. Naturally, you can say whatever you want."

"You said you didn't know Dongyan, but you were knocked down by her, which led to this series of events. Who can prove it?"

Shen Nanqiao was speechless...

There was no one else around at the time, so there was really no one who could testify for her, but what she said was the truth!

Shen Zhinian met Jiang Wange's gaze and spoke word by word, "If you say the same thing, can I also give it back to Concubine Wen? Dongyan is dead, there is no evidence, so you can say whatever you want."

"How can Concubine Wen prove that what my elder sister said is not true? How can she prove that she was not framed by Dong Yan? And how can she prove that the real murderer behind the scenes did not use the death of Concubine Liu to frame my elder sister and slander me?!"

In the past, Jiang Wange knew that Shen Zhinian was a black-hearted person, so she didn't dare to confront her openly.

But she is now a consort, and Shen Zhinian is just a small concubine, and she has won the emperor's true love!

All these reasons combined gave Jiang Wange enough confidence!

"Isn't this simple?"

Jiang Wange looked down at Shen Nanqiao, with a hint of malice in her eyes: "As long as we throw Mrs. Lu into the Ministry of Punishment and torture her severely, I believe she will confess everything she has done and not done!"

When reading, what Jiang Wange hated most was the hypocritically noble Shen Nanqiao. She wanted to rush into the book and slap her hard a few times to see if Shen Nanqiao would dare to keep saying that she was as gentle as a chrysanthemum all day long.

Now I finally have this opportunity!

Shen Nanqiao looked at Shen Zhinian in horror: "Empress Roupin, please save me! I don't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment!"

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have begged my mother to take her to the palace for the banquet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster...

Shen Zhinian doesn't care whether Shen Nanqiao lives or dies, but when beating a dog, one has to look at its owner!

Sisters of the same clan share the same fate. For Shen Zhinian, she can slap Shen Nanqiao in the face behind closed doors, but she will not let outsiders slap the Shen family in the face!

Furthermore, with Shen Nanqiao's cowardly look, if he were to go to the Ministry of Punishment, he would probably be so scared that he would admit to things he had never done.

"Although my eldest sister's husband is no longer an official, she is still my sister and my father's daughter!"

"My father just returned from Yangzhou after making great contributions, and Concubine Wen is going to throw his daughter into the Ministry of Punishment to be tortured at his celebration banquet. Aren't you afraid of disappointing the meritorious official and making the court officials dissatisfied?!"

"Or does Concubine Wen think that with the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion behind her, she doesn't have to take the civil and military officials in the court seriously?!"

With this big hat put on him, not to mention Jiang Wange, even the Duke of Zhenguo can't bear it!

The emperor was most afraid of the Zhenguo Mansion. Seeing his cold eyes, Jiang Wange panicked and said quickly, "I am just discussing the matter at hand. Concubine Rou, please stop exaggerating!"

"You don't dare to let the Ministry of Punishment try Mrs. Lu, is it because you were the one who poisoned her, so you feel guilty?!"

Shen Zhinian did not give in at all: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!!"

"If anyone is suspected of anything, they will be severely tortured by the Ministry of Punishment. Then can I guess that... Liu Chang was sitting next to Concubine Wen at the time, and the poison she was poisoned with was actually you?!"

"Why don't you both go to the Ministry of Punishment, Empress Wen and my elder sister?"

Jiang Wange was furious: "Crane's Beak Red was found on Shen Nanqiao, what does it have to do with me? You are confusing right and wrong!"

Watching the two people arguing endlessly, Shen Nanqiao knelt on the ground, feeling more complicated than ever before...

The Shen family only has two daughters, so she has always liked to compare everything with Shen Zhinian. The first thing she did after her rebirth was to snatch Shen Zhinian's future identity as a first-class imperial lady.

Shen Nanqiao could never have imagined that when she was framed, the person who protected her the most was actually Shen Zhinian...

For some reason, Shen Nanqiao's eyes suddenly felt hot...

Concubine Liu sat on the chair, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think what Concubine Rou said just now may not be unreasonable."

"Lu Shen and Concubine Wen, one of them was found to have arsenic on her body, and the other was sitting next to Concubine Liu. They are indeed both suspects. Why not drag them both to the Ministry of Punishment and let Su Quanye have a thorough interrogation!"

Everyone could tell that the imperial concubine was lying with her eyes open.

The Hedinghong was found on Shen Nanqiao, so what suspicion does Concubine Wen have? This is the real false accusation!

The Imperial Concubine clearly wanted to use this incident to make the Imperial Concubine Wen suffer in the Ministry of Punishment!
