Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 379 stay green hills
Chapter 379
After Xiao Juan sent Yu Lingwei back to the county palace, he immediately rushed to the Justice Department without stopping.
The officials sent by Honghong Temple had already arrived at the Justice Department. As soon as Xiao Juan appeared, they immediately started the interrogation of the two Chen Kingdom officials.
This trial was held until the evening.
It was already midnight when Xiao Juan returned to the palace.
Yu Cui Cui had just finished painting the portraits of the Queen and the little mute, and when she saw Xiao Yan came back, she asked.
"Are you hungry? I'll go get some supper."
Xiao Jian said in a low voice when she saw that she was too tired to open her eyes.
"Not hungry, go to sleep."
"Oh."
The two of them simply took a shower and went to bed.
At this time, Yu Cui Cui was already very sleepy, and her upper eyelids kept pressing down, but she still asked with strength.
"Have those two Chen Kingdom officials explained it?"
Xiao Lian put his arms around her and whispered.
"Well, they have said everything they know, and they can testify that Shen Rui once quietly met with Han Chengxi in the middle of the night, although they did not hear the content of the conversation between the two, but they heard from Han Chengxi's entourage, Han Chengxi and Shen Ray made a deal and the two exchanged tokens for it."
Yu Weiwei came to a little spirit: "What token?"
If you can find the token, you will have all the evidence and evidence. How can Shen Rui deny it? !
Xiao Juan: "The two Chen Kingdom officials don't know what the token is. According to my guess, it should be something that can represent their respective identities. I will report the matter to the emperor tomorrow and ask the emperor to order the search of the Sixth Prince's Mansion."
Yu Weiwei is looking forward to tomorrow.
As long as the sixth prince can be convicted of the crime, the case of Concubine Yue's murder that year should also be solved.
It seems that everything can come to an end.
…
In order to gain the initiative, the first thing Shen Rui did after returning to Yujing was to go to the palace to complain to the emperor, saying that Gong Xiao Huan avenged his personal revenge and planned to murder the mission of Chen Guo on the way to his relatives, which not only caused the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries, but also caused the Lost Princess Tao Ran.
He spoke with certainty, and the emperor believed his words to some extent.
But after returning to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Shen Rui was still uneasy.
He had a bad premonition.
After learning that Prince Lang and his party had returned, Shen Rui immediately ordered someone to investigate, but was told that Prince Lang brought back a lot of assassin corpses this time, as well as two Chen Kingdom officials.
And that afternoon, the emperor dispatched officials from Honglu Temple to the Department of Justice, obviously to assist the King of Langjun in interrogating the two officials of Chen State.
Shen Rui's sense of unease became stronger and stronger.
It was dark outside, but Shen Rui was not sleepy. He paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of worry.
How to do how to do? What should he do next?
At this moment, the butler came in and said respectfully.
"Sixth Highness, Concubine Shu Gui sent someone over and said that she has something to tell you."
Shen Rui immediately said, "Bring someone here."
Soon the housekeeper brought back a little eunuch.
When the little **** raised his head, Shen Rui saw the other party's whole face clearly, and found that the other party turned out to be Willow Branch!
Liuzhi saw the surprise and confusion in Shen Rui's heart, and took the initiative to explain.
"The identity of the palace maid is not easy to go out of the palace, but the concubine is not worried about handing over this matter to others, so she can only ask the servants to change into the clothes of eunuchs and go out of the palace."
Shen Rui suddenly realized.
To make the mother and concubine so much trouble, there must be something very important to tell him.
He glanced at the butler.
The housekeeper understood, and bowed his head to exit, but he did not go far, but guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching the room.
Inside the house, Shen Rui asked impatiently.
"What does the concubine want to say to me? Has she figured out a way to deal with it?"
Willow Branch sighed with deep helplessness in his tone.
"The imperial concubine said that the situation has now gotten out of control, and she has no choice."
Shen Rui opened his eyes in disbelief.
How could this be? Not even the mother-in-law could do anything about it.
Isn't he dead? !
Liuzhi continued: "The concubine asked you to leave Yujing at dawn tomorrow, and go to Hexi County to hide first. Hexi County is the territory of the Shu family. With the protection of the Shu family, your safety is not a problem."
Shen Rui was not reconciled: "But I can't hide for the rest of my life, can I?"
Willow Branch painstakingly persuaded.
"The meaning of the imperial concubine is to let you avoid the limelight in Hexi County first.
When the limelight passes, maybe the emperor's anger will go down.
After all, you are your own father and son, and the tiger poison does not eat your son, so the emperor should not kill you ruthlessly.
As long as you admit your mistake well, you should be fine. "
Shen Rui was still worried.
"What if the royal father refuses to forgive me? What if he insists on killing me?"
Willow Branch lowered his voice a bit.
"If the emperor is really ruthless, you can only leave Dayan and go to Chen Kingdom to hide.
Don’t you still have a token of the Ninth Prince of Chen Kingdom in your hand?
You take that token to Chen Country to find him, presumably he will take you in. "
Shen Rui was very reluctant.
"But if this happens, won't I have to live with my nose in the future?"
Willow Zhi sighed again: "It's a sad day to look up to people, but at least you can save your life. As long as the green hills are left, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood in the future."
Seeing that Shen Rui was still hesitant, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The sixth prince had some ambitions, but he didn't have enough decision-making power. He was always hesitant when he was in trouble. Therefore, many of his affairs were decided by Concubine Shu.
If the Sixth Prince could be a little smarter and act more decisively, maybe he and Concubine Shu would not have been reduced to where they are today.
Unfortunately these are just assumptions.
The matter has come to this point, and they have no way to turn back.
Willow Branch took out a letter from his arms.
"The imperial concubine knows that it is difficult for you to make up your mind. This is her handwritten letter to you. You can see it for yourself."
She offered the letter with both hands, and finally, under the cover of the night, quietly left the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Shen Rui opened the letter and took out a thin piece of paper.
The paper is densely filled with words.
All were written by Concubine Shu Gui's advice to Shen Rui, and the strong reluctance almost overflowed the paper.
At the end of the letter, Concubine Shu said that she would take on everything, so that she might never see Shen Rui again in the future.
If there is an afterlife, I hope they can still be mother and son.
This is actually a farewell letter.
Shen Rui's mood completely collapsed, he pressed the letter to his heart and cried uncontrollably.
The next day was not yet bright, and Xiao Juan left the county palace.
He went to the palace to meet the emperor, and presented the confessions of two Chen Kingdom officials.
The matter has come to this point, and the emperor will not be able to doubt Shen Rui.
He immediately ordered a search of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and ordered Shen Rui and Concubine Shu to leave to meet him.
Who knew that when the Eagle Guards rushed into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, they found that the Sixth Prince had long since disappeared.
