"Your Majesty, Master of Xinghui Palace, there are many people here, please allow me to temporarily place these two people aside."

If this incident can be dealt with as soon as possible, then even if Shen Muxue appears again in the future, it will be of no use.

Because at that time, both Prince Xian'an and Concubine Shu had been permanently labeled as dishonorable.

The emperor's body trembled slightly. The grievances he had endured these days, now compounded by the pain of betrayal, felt like countless needles piercing his heart.

Why is the world so unfair? His Xue'er actually chose to betray him.

He had no intention of asking about the whole incident or distinguishing right from wrong. He just didn't want to see these two people again, so he waved his hand and called the guards around him.

"Take it out."

Those few words seemed to have drained all his strength. There was a dead silence all around, and no one dared to speak.

Perhaps the only person in the world who dared to do such a thing to the emperor was Prince Xian'an.

The emperor felt dizzy and almost collapsed.

At this moment, a gentle body suddenly approached and stabilized his body which was about to fall.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were surprised to see that it was Concubine Shu.

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, even the Queen exclaimed in surprise: "Shu Fei, why are you here?"

Shen Muxue said innocently, "I just went to the dressing room. When I came back, I found that everyone was not there, so I followed them to see what happened."

When the emperor saw Shen Muxue appear, he seemed to wake up from a nightmare. He hugged her tightly, tears almost overflowing from his eyes.

The person kneeling on the ground was not his Xue'er. How could the real Xue'er betray him? Fortunately, God opened his eyes!

"Xue'er, it's my Xue'er."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

The Empress Dowager was even more ecstatic than the Emperor. With her intervention, the situation might be reversed.

As long as nothing happened between Prince Xian'an and Concubine Shu, there was still room for improvement.

It was just an ordinary woman causing trouble. They would drag her away and beat her to death, and then make up an excuse to cover it up, saying it was a drunken misunderstanding.

The Queen Mother quickly intervened, pulling the two apart and excitedly commanding, "Concubine Shu, you showed up just in time! Quickly have your men deal with that woman who tried to take advantage of our situation. Drag her away and dispose of her!"

Then they turned to the figure kneeling on the ground and saw her raise her head. Only then did everyone notice that this woman actually looked a bit like Concubine Shu.

Shen Yuwei struggled hard and the thing stuffed in her mouth fell out.

"Please save me! I'm your sister!"

Shen Muxue had a splitting headache. Although Shen Yuwei deserved to be punished, if she died with such an ignominious reason, it would be a great shame for the reputation of the entire family.

At this time, the emperor had no intention of paying attention to other trivial matters and only cared about his Xueer.

"How do you feel, Xue'er?"

Leaning weakly in the emperor's arms, Shen Muxue whispered, "When I went to change my clothes, I felt extremely dizzy and wanted to vomit badly."

"Call the imperial physician immediately!"

Then he picked up the weak Shen Muxue and walked towards the bedroom, whispering to her in a gentle voice, "Maybe it's stomach discomfort caused by improper diet, or the influence of a little bit of alcohol. Let's go back to Linglong Palace and rest for a while."

Shaking her head, Shen Muxue refused: "My sister is still here, so I want to find out what happened."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The emperor placed Shen Muxue next to him, and the others also returned to the hall and sat down one by one.

Prince Xian'an and Shen Yuwei were brought into the hall, and they knelt in the center waiting to be dealt with.

The Queen Mother pointed at Shen Yuwei anxiously, "Did you seduce Prince Xian'an?"

Prince Xian'an had sobered up a lot by then. He crawled forward a few steps, crying, and shouted, "My grandson was drunk and unconscious at the time. I don't know what happened. It was that woman who seduced me! I really don't know anything!"

Shen Yuwei maintained her posture quietly, like a rose that had gone through wind and rain and still had a few petals standing upright.

A few days ago, she was ordered by the imperial concubine to be taken into the palace. She thought she was doomed to die. However, the imperial concubine not only did not harm her, but instead helped her design a plan.

According to the imperial concubine, as long as she could make Prince Xian'an fall in love with her today and make a marriage between them happen in public, he would not be able to escape the connection even if he was unwilling.

At that time, as the sister of Concubine Shu, she will definitely become the wife of King Xian'an.

She had admired King Hyeon-an for many years and had long dreamed of becoming his true partner.

Even though the situation has changed, she is still content with the status of a concubine.

During that period, she was very much favored in the palace and took it for granted that she would soon become the prince's official wife. However, she did not expect that although her sister treated her very kindly every day, she never asked the emperor for a marriage.

It was not until today that I finally had the opportunity to stay with Prince Xian'an openly. Even though I know that the imperial concubine has evil intentions, this is still an opportunity worth taking a risk.

When Shen Yuwei saw Prince Xian'an crying beside her, she never expected him to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Has the prince forgotten the good feelings we once had?"

she asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean by 'love'?"

The latter retorted.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother decisively gave an order: "Quickly shut that woman's mouth, to prevent her from making false accusations against the prince."

It seems that in order to preserve the reputation of Prince Xian'an, the Queen Mother is determined to sacrifice Shen Yuwei.

Looking up at the emperor on the throne above, Shen Muxue pleaded softly, "Your Majesty, could you please let me finish what I'm saying?"

The emperor was obviously aware of the complex factors behind this matter. How could he not understand the mystery after experiencing countless twists and turns in the palace?

Considering that the future heir to the throne cannot be humiliated, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the royal family, no matter what the truth is, someone will be punished before the end of this day.

Looking at Shen Muxue with a hint of guilt, the emperor comforted her gently, "My dear, you are too innocent and kind. You are framed by scheming people many times. It is really innocent."

However, in fact, if she was not worried that if her sister died because of this incident, it would bring great shame to the family, she would not let Shen Yuwei go easily.

"Your Majesty..." Shen Muxue continued to act like a child, unwilling to be outdone, and made the old Buddha sitting next to her quite unhappy.

Faced with this situation, the emperor said in a slightly stern tone: "Follow orders."

Just when the situation was about to become tense, an imperial physician suddenly trotted in.

Xiao Shun immediately stepped forward and led the man to diagnose Shen Muxue.

The director of the Imperial Hospital, who had rushed over after receiving an urgent call and mistakenly thought that something important had happened, felt a little relieved when he saw that the patient looked well.

Usually this was just a headache caused by excessive drinking, so he calmly began his work.
