Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

But once you are in prison, torture and forced confession are inevitable.

"Brother, you can't go in."

Who knows if this is a trap.

The more powerless Shen Zhishu felt, the more anxious he became.

She was just a woman, even if she was the concubine of the King of Qin, she had no say in front of the officials of the court.

Unless...King Qin Yanchu will stand behind her and support her.

But he is not here now. Even if he was, how could he protect the Shen family without hesitation?

"take away."

But Liu Yu had lost his patience, and at a command, the officers stepped forward.

Shen Zhishu was weak and no one could stop him, so he was pulled behind his father to be protected.

The mother was calling her brother's name, but she was powerless to do anything.

"stop."

Just as she was about to watch her brother being taken away, it seemed as if what happened in her previous life was about to happen again.

A cold voice sounded from outside the door.

An even more oppressive and majestic aura came from outside the door.

Shen Zhishu was afraid that it was her own illusion, something she had imagined when she was powerless.

So she opened her eyes wide, not daring to relax for a moment, and stayed still with her eyes open until the man walked towards her step by step.

She touched it with trembling hands, somewhat impatiently, but also worried that her fantasy would be shattered.

When he felt that it was a real person and touched his warm and cool palm, Shen Zhishu had no idea what he was feeling at that moment.

"Your Majesty."

She only asked him to protect her family.

As long as he agreed, she would be willing to do anything he asked her to do in the future.

As long as she can protect her family and prevent what happened in her previous life from happening again, she would be willing to give her life for it.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Her lips trembled, unable to express her feelings at the moment.

But Yan Chu was already standing beside her, holding her hand, walking in front of Liu Yu, and also standing in front of Shen Jie.

As soon as he stood there, the surrounding officers subconsciously took two steps back.

Even Liu Fuya, who had just ignored the Shen family, changed his expression.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."

"Master Liu came to the Shen Mansion to investigate a case?"

Liu Yu lowered his head in front of him, and he glanced at him sideways, with a condescending attitude.

"In reply to your Highness, I have received reports from more than ten families including Li Yushi. They have evidence and asked me to arrest the murder suspect Shen Jie. I am only following the law. Today, I must take Shen Jie away. I hope your Highness can make it easier for me."

Although the words were humble, the attitude was firm.

Anyway, Shen Jie has to go to the government office today.

"I have heard about the murder of Li Yushi's son. Hasn't Lord Shen been investigating this case? This case is under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple. Why is your Jingdu government involved?"

Yan Chu didn't argue, but just asked with a cold face.

But the position is also very clear, and no one will be able to take Shen Jie away easily.

"It's not that I'm overstepping my bounds, but someone has come to the government office to file a complaint. As the governor of Kyoto, I have the responsibility to handle the case. Moreover, the suspect is the son of the Supreme Court Justice. I think Lord Shen is no longer suitable to be in charge of this case. If I report this to His Majesty, he will definitely think the same."

Liu Yu lowered his head, but explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

That means that even if the prince tries to stop it now, after the case is reported and His Majesty issues an order for trial, Shen Jie will still be arrested.

"Your Highness, since there has been new progress in this case and evidence has been found to incriminate Shen Jie, then we should handle it according to the law. However, I beg to be allowed to attend the court hearing. I have studied this case for a long time and may be able to help."

But if Shen Jie is arrested at that time, it would be a crime if King Qin deliberately tried to stop it today.

Shen Wang immediately stood up at this time.

At this time, Shen Zhishu also calmed down a little.

Censor Li went to file a complaint, and he also filed a complaint against Shen Jie. He was probably so angry that his mind was confused. He was thrown out of the Dali Temple in the morning, so he thought of taking revenge on the Shen family.

If it was just this case, everything would be fine as long as it was investigated thoroughly, because my brother must be innocent.

She took Yan Chu's sleeve and tugged it calmly.

"Then let's go and take a look. I want to see how Lord Liu is going to convict my brother."

Therefore, with the Prince of Qin personally taking him to the government office, Shen Zhishu felt a little more at ease.

Wait for her to calm down and analyze the situation.

I realized that this life is different from the previous life. Now the Shen family is no longer the Shen family that allows others to plot against them and no one to help them.

Even if Yan Chu can't protect her at the last moment, she can still rely on herself. With the information in her hands, she can buy a glimmer of hope for the Shen family.

On the way to the government office, she and Yan Chu rode in the same carriage.

He held her hand from beginning to end and never let go.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Yan Chu's question interrupted her thoughts.

Shen Zhishu came back to his senses at this point. He thought that the prince's appearance was too sudden. Even if he knew about the Shen family's situation and suddenly came, he wouldn't have come so quickly.

The only explanation is that he had set out a long time ago and just happened to encounter this incident when he arrived here.

So did he come here specially after he knew that I was returning to the Shen Mansion?

I happened to meet her and helped her.

At this moment, Shen Zhishu's heart was full of gratitude towards him.

"I haven't seen my family for a long time, so I wanted to come and see them, but I never expected to encounter something like this. Your Majesty, do you believe my brother? He is innocent."

At the end of her speech, her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Do you know the whole story?"

Yan Chu did not answer immediately.

He just sat next to her with a serious expression and asked.

"I went to the Dali Temple this morning and took a quick look at the files..."

He couldn't say he knew a lot, but he knew the general situation. Shen Zhishu immediately told Yan Chu about the serial murders that had occurred over the past few days.

By the time we arrived at the government office, we had almost finished talking.

"Even your father couldn't find any clues. There's something fishy about this case."

After listening to this, Yan Chu frowned.

Past experience told him that this case was not that simple.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

"There are only two possibilities for a case without clues. One is that the murderer is very skilled and knows how to hide himself. The other possibility is that someone targeted the Shen family and committed such a crime. Judging from the current situation of Shen Jie being arrested, the second possibility is more likely."

Yan Chu didn't hide it from her either.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect this to happen, and was instantly shocked when he heard this.

"Are you targeting the Shen family? Then wouldn't it be dangerous for my brother to go to the government office?"

They came slower, and Shen Jie had already been escorted in first.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhishu hurried to get off the car.

But Yan Chu held his hand.

"The situation is unclear. No matter what happens in a while, you must stay calm. You must not get yourself or the rest of the Shen family involved. Do you understand?"
