The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Shen Ruzhou saw that his expression was different and asked quickly: "It seems that Your Highness did not look after the child, right? Otherwise, by now you should know that everything I said before is true."

Xiao Chenyan regained his composure and asked Jun Wu to call Po Wen.

Po Wen came to the woodshed tremblingly, looking back and forth for some reason.

"Where is the child?" Xiao Chenyan asked coldly, with a chill in his eyes.

Po Wen was stunned and quickly replied: "The child has been cremated. This is how the child is treated before full term, so that the child can enter the reincarnation early and be reincarnated as a human being."

Shen Ruzhou had heard this before. She thought for a moment and then said: "You delivered the child yourself, and you know best what he looks like. Could you please tell His Highness how many months old the child is."

When Po Wen heard this, her heart pounded. She has been a stable mother-in-law for half her life and has the most experience. She can tell the child's month at a glance. But she also knew that there were many rare people in the backyard of this high-ranking noble.

Po Wen didn't want to get into trouble, so she said vaguely: "I can only see that it's less than a month, but other slaves can't."

"Nonsense, are those eyes of yours blind?" Shen Ruzhou said mercilessly.

Po Wen didn't dare to look at her, lowered her head and insisted: "How this woman's body is during pregnancy, and whether she eats more or less will affect the child in her belly. It is really difficult to judge the month from the size of the child."

Shen Ruzhou couldn't bear to hear Po Wen's lies, so he pointed at her nose and cursed: "You timid old woman, if you don't tell the truth, I won't be polite to you."

As Shen Ruzhou spoke, he showed the silver needle on his fingertips, intending to force Po Wen, but Xiao Chenyan roared: "That's enough! Shen Ruzhou, you still want to quibble now?"

His eyes were full of sternness, and he ordered to Jun Wu: "Bring Shen Ruzhou to the courtyard and charge the forty big boards."

"His Royal Highness, you really don't believe me?"

"How can I trust you?"

After Xiao Chenyan's last voice fell, Shen Ruzhou burst out laughing. There was no sadness or anger in the laughter, but a kind of relief after seeing through it.

She didn't resist, and lay down on the torture bench consciously. Just when the board was about to fall, a cold voice came over.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned around after hearing the sound, and saw Bei Xiuyan dressed in light white clothes, spotlessly walking in the clear moonlight.

Xiao Chenyan was still furious and spoke in a very unkind tone, "Why, the regent also has to take care of the affairs of my palace's back house?"

"Your Highness, I have no intention of intervening in the affairs of your backyard. I just caught a suspicious person on the street. After a search, I found that the person's carriage was filled with things from the Wucheng Palace, so I brought him to you for disposal. ." Bei Xiuyan's eyes swept over Shen Ruzhou unnoticeably, and when he saw the red pinch marks on her neck, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Behind him, Qin Ming escorted a driver forward and threw a cloth bag on the ground.

The bag fell to the ground, and the jewelry inside was scattered all over the floor.

The housekeeper of Wucheng Prince's Mansion hurried up to check, and then said in shock: "These are indeed the things of Wucheng Prince's Mansion, and they are all..." He looked at Xiao Chenyan hesitantly, thinking about what he should say next.

Xiao Chenyan said with a sullen face, "Say!"

"They are all the concubine's things. Your Highness, look at this bracelet and this golden walking stick that you gave to the concubine before."

Xiao Chenyan took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case. He was so angry that he looked at the coachman with murderous intent in his eyes, "How brave you are to sneak into the palace."

The coachman quickly knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged: "Your Highness, this villain is not a thief. It was Doctor Jiang who hired my carriage to leave the city. He put all the things on it."

"Doctor Jiang?" Xiao Chenyan asked doubtfully.

"Doctor Jiang made an appointment with the villain to go out early this morning, but someone called him unexpectedly, so he left first and asked me to wait at the city gate."

When the housekeeper heard about Dr. Jiang, he said without thinking: "Doctor Jiang has been treating the concubine. Could it be that the concubine rewarded him with this thing?"

The housekeeper was confused, but Xiao Chenyan was not. He glared at the housekeeper and said, "No matter how much you reward me, I won't give you all the money I have saved at the bottom of the box. There must be something fishy here."

Having said this, Xiao Chenyan finally understood the purpose of Beixiu Ban's trip. He turned to look at Jun Wu and said, "Call Doctor Jiang."

If the concubine really had any secrets with Dr. Jiang, then Shen Ruzhou would be unjustly accused.

Thinking of his harshness just now, he felt a little regretful. Just when he was considering whether to comfort Shen Ruzhou, Bei Xiuyan had already arrived in front of Shen Ruzhou and reached out to help her up. The red marks on her white and tender neck were particularly dazzling.

Bei Xiuyan held her hand tightly in distress.

Shen Ruzhou shook his hand and smiled to indicate that he was fine.

Xiao Chenyan looked at the hands held by Shen Ruzhou and Bei Xiuyan, his eyes wide open.

"If men and women are not intimate, please respect yourself, Prince Regent."

"I couldn't stand firm just now. Regent Lao helped me." Shen Ruzhou reluctantly let go of Bei Xiuyan, squatted down and said, "Thank you, Regent."

"Miss Shen, you're welcome." Bei Xiuyan's voice was calm and without any emotion.

Even so, Xiao Chenyan still sensed that something was wrong. His eyes could not deceive others. Ever since Beixiu Banquet came in, he had not taken his eyes away from Shen Ruzhou.

At this time, Jun Wu came in a hurry and reported: "Your Highness, Dr. Jiang lost his footing and fell into the water when he was passing by the garden. When he was rescued, he was already dead."

Hearing this, four words flashed in Shen Ruzhou's mind: kill and silence.

Behind Jun Wu, two guards escorted Xiao Ling forward. Jun Wu kicked her and knelt in front of Xiao Chenyan, "Your Highness, this maid also tried to escape from the house just now, but was caught by the guards guarding her."

"What do you know, tell me the truth?" Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and asked. The concubine is dead, Doctor Jiang is dead, and now this is the only one left alive.

"I don't know anything about this slave. The concubine had previously allowed me to leave the house. Now that she is gone, I want to leave the house and go home." Xiao Ling denied that she had escaped, gritting her teeth and saying that she didn't know anything. Know.

"Then do you know him?" Beixiu Yan raised his hand and Qin Ming brought another person up.

Xiao Ling looked up and saw that the man was Liu Er, the waiter at the River Inn, and suddenly felt guilty.

Before she could think of her words, Liu Er spoke first, "I know her. She rented a yard on the Flower Goddess Day and didn't let the waiters wait inside. She was curious and stayed at the back door until dawn. I saw her wife and a man walking out of the yard supporting each other."

Liu Er's words were in perfect agreement with Shen Ruzhou's previous remarks.

Xiao Ling knew that the concubine's theft could no longer be concealed, so she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, Xiao Ling is just a maid, and it was all under the concubine's instigation. She previously lied about being pregnant in order to keep her favor, and in order to really conceive The child had a private meeting with Chang Lin in the guest house again..."

With a "boom", Xiao Chenyan felt like he was struck by lightning. He was deceived by Mu Wanrong and even wore a cuckold.

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Xiao Chenyan's mouth, and before anyone could react, his body fell straight down.
