The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 778 Li Cairen commits suicide out of fear of punishment

Ji Chenyu, who was worried about Shen Jiarou, put aside his embarrassment and quickly walked up to Shen Jiarou.

"Rou'er, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jiarou didn't dare to look him in the eye and quickly lowered her head to explain.

"It's just that my legs are weak. It's nothing serious. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry." Oh, I've been embarrassed enough times today, and all at the same person. It's so embarrassing.

Ji Chenyu smiled when he heard this: Weak legs? Of course not, he remembered that he seemed to have had sex with her five or six times, how could he not be weak legs.

"I'll carry you over."

Shen Jiarou was startled: "Ah, no need, I can do it myself..."

Ji Chenyu bent down, picked her up and walked towards the dressing table. The sudden leap made Shen Jiarou climb onto his neck reflexively, which made Ji Chenyu very happy.

The awkward and ambiguous tug of war between the two made Nan Qi cover her face to hide her smile. The Emperor was really good at it. I wonder if the Empress could handle it.

Shen Jiarou looked at the man who was combing her hair carefully, and finally spoke out what was in her heart.

"I want to go back to Fengyi Palace."

Ji Chenyu paused while combing his hair: "You are not going back today, right? Or is the Queen afraid of me?"

"Ah, how could it be... Your Majesty is joking." Damn it, when did my royal brother become so good at provoking me?

"Then stay. Your legs are weak, so I'll help you."

Shen Jiarou looked up in shock, her eyes wide open, and quickly refused: "No... No need, I'm not that angry."

Ji Chenyu leaned over and squatted facing her with a serious look on his face.

"Really? Then I'll try." He reached out and rubbed Shen Jiarou's calf. Shen Jiarou screamed in pain, but the sound sounded like a charming moan, which made Shen Jiarou look up and cover her mouth in shock.

Oh my god, what a sound.

No, no, no, this is definitely not her own voice, it's terrible.

Seeing how cute she was, Ji Chenyu couldn't help but smile.

"Queen, I see you are in pain, so I'll massage it for you."

Because of the reason, Shen Jiarou didn't want to talk anymore, so Ji Chenyu took it as her consent. He picked her up and walked to the bed, gently placed her on the soft bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, picked up her legs and placed them on his thighs, and reached out to give her a massage.

Shen Jiarou was so shy that she didn't even dare to look at him.

Seeing her like this, Ji Chenyu was in a good mood. He didn't expect that the queen, who was over 30 years old, would still be shy and blushing, but he liked her like this.

Feeling that the atmosphere was too ambiguous and sultry, Shen Jiarou took the initiative to speak up to break the silence.

"How's the investigation into the love poison going?"

"We are still investigating, but we have some clues. I believe we will find them soon."

Another talented woman returned to the palace in a panic. She felt that she would eventually be found out, and fearing a miserable end, she decided to commit suicide out of fear of punishment.

She took a piece of white silk and threw it onto the eaves, tied it into a knot, and finally put her head on it. She kicked the stool away with one foot, struggled for a few times, and soon she stopped moving.

The palace maid who took care of her brought hot water into the palace, but found her hanged in the middle of the night and screamed in fear.

"what……"

The basin in her hand fell to the ground, hot water was everywhere, and she was so scared that she burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu... Young Master..."

Ji Chenyu, who was preparing to go to bed with Shen Jiarou, was shocked by what Luo Cheng, who came running over, reported loudly.

"What? Li Cairen hanged himself to death?"

Shen Jiarou was shocked. Isn't Li Cairen just an unknown little person?

Even she didn't have much impression of her, so why did she hang herself? It is highly suspected to be suicide at this time.

Ji Chenyu looked at Shen Jiarou and ordered: "Rou'er, I'll be back soon. If you are sleepy, you don't have to wait for me."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly: "My brother, please be careful and take more guards with you."

"Okay." Ji Chenyu walked forward and kissed her forehead.

"Good boy, I'm going."

Ji Chenyu, accompanied by a group of guards, soon arrived at Li Cairen's palace.

"Where are the people?"

The leading guard said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li was placed on the bed by the palace maids."

Ji Chenyu strode in and frowned at the dead woman.

"Where's the imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty, I am here." Doctor Wang came running over breathlessly, carrying a medicine box.

"Quick, show Li Cairen if there are other causes of death besides hanging himself."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The palace maid who took care of her was frightened and went crazy, and was brought to Ji Chenyu by Luo Cheng.

"Your Majesty, this is the maid who serves Li Cairen personally."

Seeing the emperor, the palace maid was so scared that she kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I know nothing. The young lady had already hanged herself when I came in."

Ji Chenyu frowned: "Li Cairen's background."

Luo Cheng explained respectfully: "The palace archives record that all my family members have passed away."

Ji Chenyu frowned: "Dead? When did he die?"

"For several years."

Ji Chenyu frowned as he listened. He finally got a clue, but could it be that it was lost again here?

Doctor Wang walked out of the bedroom and headed towards Ji Chenyu.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li has ruled out the possibility of homicide. The maids also said that there were no wounds on her body. I checked her eyes and other parts, and it was hanged."

Ji Chenyu slammed the table in anger, "Damn it! She is clearly committing suicide out of fear of punishment. Pass the order down, Li Cairen is accused of murdering the emperor, and all honors of her title and rank are stripped away, and she is thrown into a mass grave for me."

A woman who works for others and wants his life is not worthy of being enshrined in the imperial mausoleum. That would be an insult to him as an emperor.

Perhaps Shen Jiarou was too tired and fell asleep before Ji Chenyu came back.

Ji Chenyu returned to the side hall of the imperial study with anger. When he walked into the bedroom, he hurriedly restrained his emotions so as not to affect the queen's mood. But when he walked to the bed, he found that the person he was worried about had already fallen asleep. He smiled helplessly and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the person who was sleeping soundly.

The next morning, Shen Jiarou woke up and found that her whole body was sore, as if she had been beaten. She felt very uncomfortable.

"Ouch."

"My queen, what's wrong with you?" Nan Qi hurried forward to show concern.

Shen Jiarou looked helpless: "I feel like I was beaten severely by someone."

It really hurt her.

Hearing this, Nan Qi couldn't help but cover her face and hide her smile.

"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you for more yesterday. It's natural that you have back pain now. We just need to rest for two days."

At this point, what else could Shen Jiarou say? She could only endure it.

"You didn't stop me at that time."

Nami heard this as soon as she walked in and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this is the Emperor, not the Prince Consort. We, the servants, would never dare to do that."

Shen Jiarou had a look of despair on her face, not knowing when this soreness and weakness would heal.

"Forget it, things have come to this. Please wash, change clothes and do your makeup for me." She had been tossed around for so long and had slept for so long, and she didn't know if the harem was in chaos.
