My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

Chapter 257 Shen Rong committed suicide out of fear of punishment?

Apart from being summoned by the royal family, this was the first time that Madam Shen took the initiative to enter the palace.

Of course I came to save Shen Rong!

If the emperor brother cares about General Shen, he might let Shen Rong go. Then who will bear the consequences of today's incident?

*** was anxious, and looked at Old Madam Shen with a gaze as sharp as a sword.

I wish I could kill this old woman right there and then!

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty..." Old Madam Shen knelt on the ground, her voice choking with sobs, "Your Majesty, Shen Rong has always been ambitious, but because of his disability, he was used by the government. Please be clear-headed! Shen Rong has no intention of rebelling. All this was forced by the government!"

"Shut up! I am the Queen of the dynasty, how can I allow you to talk behind your back?" The Queen stepped forward and kicked him a few times.

No one expected that the emperor would beat people in front of him.

It's so arrogant and domineering!

Old Madam Shen didn't dare to resist and could only take the kicks. Her old bones were almost broken by the kicks.

It was only thanks to the emperor's maids that they separated the two, thus preventing Madam Shen from getting further injured.

She was angry, but what could she do?

The emperor indulged her, so how could she have the right to reason? I'm afraid that her wish to save Shen Rong today would be difficult to accomplish.

"Ridiculous! How dare you hit the lady of imperial decree in front of me? Insulting her biological mother is like a slap in the face of General Shen Lin, and it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers of Daxia!" The emperor was so angry that his beard was shaking, but he only shouted verbally.

*** still argued: "Royal brother, she is talking nonsense. Shen Rong has had ulterior motives for a long time. He tried hard to marry Jiahe but failed, so he married my adopted daughter. He just wanted to use my power to fulfill his selfish desires."

"He secretly teamed up with Zhou Niannian to poison Shen Lin, fearing that Zhou Niannian would make mistakes because of love. He also asked Ye Qinglan to go to the border to poison again. There are traces of all these things!"

"He has long wanted to kill Shen Lin and take his place. He started planning it since he returned to Shengjing. It was because of him that Jiahe was scared crazy."

When the emperor mentioned Jiahe who was frightened crazy, murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, how can Shen Rong lead troops with his disabled legs? It was the coercion and inducement of the *** that made him fall into the trap." Old Lady Shen endured the pain and insisted on complaining.

Ye Qinghuan heard it clearly outside the hall and admired her mother-in-law's will immensely.

Telling lies with open eyes in front of the emperor, are you really not afraid of losing your head?

"Your Majesty, I have evidence!" Old Madam Shen took out the various receipts that the Shen family had collected and handed over to ***.

***'s face changed drastically: "Damn old woman! You actually have something else to hide?"

"Sister, please stop talking." The emperor's mind was as clear as a mirror. "Someone, take her down to rest!"

"Yes!"

*** stamped his feet unwillingly: "Brother! Don't just listen to that old woman! Think about Jiahe. Jiahe went crazy because he saw Shen Rong abusing a cat! Otherwise, how could Jiahe end up in the Western Barbarians?"

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor..."

*** was "dragged" out, and Old Madam Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her back slightly: "Your Majesty, Shen Rong..."

"He has confessed in prison." The emperor stroked his forehead and sighed, "I understand that you love your son dearly, but you slandered him in court, which is a serious crime."

Madam Shen's face changed drastically, and she wavered, "Your Majesty, this is impossible..."

She had clearly told Shen Rong that he must not confess no matter how heavy the punishment was. As long as he did not confess, she could save him.

The emperor must have lied to her!

"Eunuch Li, go and present Shen Rong's confession." The emperor ordered.

His Highness the Eunuch immediately trotted out.

Old Madam Shen sat slumped in the hall, her face ashen: "Impossible, impossible..."

"I am concerned about your old age, so I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said just now," said the emperor.

Gao Xun looked unhappy.

It has come to this, how long will father continue to protect my aunt?

He lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father, Shen Lin was seriously injured at the border while saving Jiahe. If I can't give justice to the Shen family, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Can the Shen family army rebel?" The emperor suddenly became angry.

Old Madam Shen was frightened and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the Shen family has no intention of treason!"

The emperor snorted coldly and ignored her.

Gao Xun knelt on the ground and said under pressure: "Father, I am willing to hand over the military token of the Shen family army."

Ye Qinghuan was secretly shocked.

Has the emperor's suspicion become serious enough to demand that the prince hand over his military command?

But she was not called into the temple, so no matter what she heard, she could only pretend to be deaf and remain silent.

At this moment, the emperor sneered again: "Prince, do you think I am forcing you to surrender?"

"I dare not. But I think that Shen Lin will never lead the Shen Family Army to rebel. Besides, although the Shen Family Army has the word "Shen" in its name, it is just an army of our Great Xia. They are loyal to Great Xia and to my father, and are not the private property of the Shen family. How could they rebel under the order of one person?" Gao Xun said.

The hall fell silent.

Ye Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Now the emperor should be relieved, right?

But then the emperor said, "Your military token was left by your mother. How can I take it back?"

Ye Qinghuan was shocked: The former Queen Meng Jingyu? How could she have the military token of the Shen family army?

Almost at the same time, Ye Qinghuan raised her hand and pulled out the white jade hairpin in her hair and hid it in her sleeve.

"Everything that belongs to my mother belongs to my father, including the military command and my son." Gao Xun said with respect and sincerity.

The emperor's attitude softened a bit, "Forget it! Just keep what your mother left for you! As for whether the Shen family army has the intention of rebellion, I will find out for myself."

Ye Qinghuan's heart was in suspense.

Since the emperor is not suspicious of the crown prince, it means that he has been suspicious of the Shen family army for a long time!

Was it like this in the previous life?

Not long after, Eunuch Li came back trotting with a letter written in blood on a tray in his hand.

Ye Qinghuan's eyebrows twitched violently.

"Your Majesty, this is Shen Rong's confession. After Shen Rong confessed, he committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment."

"What?" Old Madam Shen's eyes went dark and she fainted.

Ye Qinghuan's heart was beating like a drum: No! Shen Rong would never commit suicide out of fear of punishment. He was murdered deliberately!

Oh my God, the emperor actually did such a thing to protect the ***!

"A disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous person should be killed." The emperor snorted coldly, "Is there anyone else from the Ye family outside? Let her come in and get them out."

"Yes." Eunuch Li opened the door and announced, "Madam Shen, please!"

Ye Qinghuan took a deep breath, calmed himself and entered the hall. He ignored his mother-in-law who had fainted and performed the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

The emperor was slightly pleased and said, "Take Madam Shen back and give her proper treatment. Shen Rong's mistake is the only one and will not implicate others."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight!"

Ye Qinghuan used all his strength to help Madam Shen up and supported her towards the prince.

She knew that this was a test from the emperor. If there was any mistake, Shen Lin would be in trouble.

She almost fell several times, but she didn't even utter a word. She persevered until she got outside the palace, where a palace maid came to help her.

Gao Xun noticed that Ye Qinghuan was no longer wearing his mother's white jade hairpin.

She thought to herself: He is a smart man. He actually heard that my father was averse to my mother. She took off her white jade hairpin before entering the palace.
