Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 156: Mother is still the best

Autopsy?

Mu Ningyuan was the first to deny it: "It is very unlikely. After all, Empress Xian is the emperor's favorite concubine. This favor has lasted from the time she was brought back to this day. Performing an autopsy would be equivalent to destroying the body as well."

They have many excellent coroners in the Dali Temple.

If we ask a coroner to examine the body, we can know the cause of death most directly.

Shen Yindi looked at Chu Yan, as if asking what he meant.

"It's hard to say. After all, no one can guess what the emperor is thinking."

"That's true, so now we can only wait. This is the first time I feel so passive." Shen Yindi picked up her teacup, her voice muffled.

"It's okay. Sometimes it's a good idea to just wait and see." Chu Yan comforted.

"Now that the clue of Concubine Xian is gone, I guess we can't find the clue of the Queen."

"Even if we know that it was Meng Shizhao who arranged everything, there is no evidence to prove it now."

That's why she said before that once we return to the time before liberation.

It was so sudden and unexpected that it even disrupted their plans a little.

"This stinky woman won't stop even if she dies!" Si Qi said viciously again.

"Did Qi'er know Empress Xian before?" Mu Ningyuan asked curiously. It was rare to see her so angry.

Si Qi did not hide it either: "She was the one who harmed me back then, and she repaid kindness with enmity. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have almost lost my life. Fortunately, I'm lucky." Thinking of those things, she couldn't hide the murderous intent in her eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Ningyuan's eyes. It turns out there is such a thing.

"We can only check again."

Royal Palace, East Palace.

At this time, the Queen was also with Crown Prince Chu Heng.

Chu Heng paced back and forth in front of her.

"Mother, why do you think that father has not punished that ugly bastard yet?"

"Empress Xian is his favorite concubine, what is he still thinking about?"

Chu Heng was very upset. They had waited for a whole day but still couldn't get any good news. He was really anxious and angry.

"Sit down. You are already the crown prince, why are you still so impetuous?" the queen scolded angrily.

"But mother, are you really not anxious at all?" Chu Heng sat down and asked puzzledly.

The queen remained very calm and drank tea leisurely.

"What's the point of being anxious? If you are anxious, will your father immediately do what you want?"

"We don't know what position that girl holds in your father's heart!"

“You know that every time she comes to the palace, your father talks to her alone and doesn’t even allow Eunuch Duofu to serve her.” The queen must have been annoyed, but she managed her emotions very well and never showed it.

"What kind of status? No matter how important it is, it can't be as important as Concubine Xian, right?"

"How do you know that you can't compare? Haven't you noticed that your father's health has been getting better and better during this period? Even his complexion has changed!" When the queen said this, she was about to tear her handkerchief into pieces.

"This..." Chu Heng was suddenly speechless.

"Do you think your father would love others more than himself? Which emperor doesn't care more about his own body?"

After listening to what his mother said, Chu Heng was suddenly speechless. He was unable to refute.

He suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Then according to what mother said, no matter what happens, father will not do anything to Chu Yan and his wife?"

"Not necessarily."

"What if your father finds out that girl has bad intentions towards him?" She sneered.

"Isn't this too difficult? Didn't you just say that they always meet alone, without leaving anyone around them?"

“It is indeed difficult, but everything depends on human effort.”

"As long as you think carefully, you will definitely find a good solution."

"Your father has not yet expressed his opinion on this matter. We don't have to be too pessimistic. Perhaps your father has already had a rift with her." The queen said meaningfully.

"It was said recently that the sister of the Pavilion Master of Tingyin Pavilion is also with Chu Yan. She and that ugly girl have a close relationship like sisters. In the past, that girl had a feud with Empress Xian. If your father knew about this, what do you think he would think?"

When Chu Heng heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"The Queen Mother is still wise."

The Queen smiled and took a sip of her tea.

The next morning, Quan Zhong, the commander of the imperial guards, came to the King of Chu to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Miss Shen has a close relationship with Si Qi, the sister of the Pavilion Master of Tingyin Pavilion. And this Miss Si Qi once had a feud with Empress Xian and hates Empress Xian to the core."

"He has threatened several times that he will take revenge and won't give up until he gets revenge."

The Emperor Chu's brows were somewhat cold.

He is still in Concubine Xian's bedroom, still staying by her side, and has hardly slept all night.

Concubine Xian's body was already cold and stiff.

"You mean, that girl committed the crime next time in order to avenge her little sister?" The tone of the Emperor Chu was so cold that it was almost freezing to death.

He recalled the girl's attitude before, and how she had asked him to write a letter of waiver. Now it seemed that she had planned it all in advance and was waiting for him to be fooled!

Quanzhong knelt down and lowered his head: "I don't know the truth. Miss Shen herself is probably the only one who knows it best."

Now no one can tell what the Emperor of Chu is thinking.

I dare not speculate.

"Go now and summon the girl to the palace. I want to ask her in person." The King of Chu ordered in a low voice. Perhaps because he hadn't slept all night, he looked a little tired. Even his voice was much hoarse.

"The minister obeys the order."

It was just dawn when someone knocked on the door of Shen Yindi's mansion. The whole mansion was very quiet.

Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu got up the earliest.

Shen Yindi hasn't gotten up yet.

I was woken by a knock on the door.

Chu Yan went to open the door, his face looking unhappy.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, someone came from the palace and said that the Emperor summoned the princess to the palace." Aunt Fu also looked embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's expression suddenly became even gloomier.

At this time, Shen Yindi also heard the noise and was not sleeping well.

"Aunt Fu, ask him to wait for me for a cup of tea. I will pack up and go into the palace with him."

"Ok."

Chu Yan walked to the bedside and held Shen Yindi's hand: "Adi, do you think I can go with you?"

Shen Yindi couldn't help but laugh: "Are you stupid? Or haven't you woken up yet? Wouldn't it just cause more trouble if you go? I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, I'm definitely capable of protecting myself."

The main thing is that I don’t know what the Emperor Chu’s attitude towards her is now.

Everything is unknown.

Many times some fear comes from the unknown.

Chu Yan pursed his lips. Every time this happened, he would feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Shen Yindi coaxed him for a while before changing his clothes and tracing the scars on his face.

Then he followed Quanzhong into the palace. This time it was not Wei Zi who came, but Shen Yindi also knew this person, who seemed to be a close confidant of the emperor.

They went directly to Concubine Xian's bedroom.

Shen Yindi went in alone, and Quanzhong stayed outside to keep watch.

The lights in the room were already on.

Shen Yindi walked in and saw the state of Emperor Chu, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Her soft voice rang out: "Your Majesty, are you summoning me to the palace to punish me for my crime?"
