Chapter 22 Step by step Chapter 23 True and False

"To reply to the emperor, the Empress is resting in the house." The cold night replied.

Xiao Yuanqi continued to approach with a cold hum, and his footsteps were getting closer and closer...

A heavy sound came from Xiao Yuanqi's hand. He knocked open the door hard. Shen Sirong behind the door was knocked back by force, and the door opened like this. When the four eyes touch each other, it is like lightning and thunder, amazing heartstrings. Before leaving the palace, Shen Sirong has been avoiding Xiao Yuanqi. They haven't seen each other like this for a long time...

"Come on, search." Xiao Yuanqi summoned several chamberlains, closed the door of the room, and blocked all eyes outside the door.

Shen Sirong stood in the middle of the room and watched Xiao Yuanqi's servant come in to search the room. She didn't feel uneasy at all, she just looked at it.

The cold night nodded gently to Shen Sirong behind Xiao Yuanqi, indicating that everything was arranged and she didn't have to worry. Shen Sirong wanted to smile at him, but smiled bitterly when he touched Xiao Yuanqi's indifference.

"Tell back to the emperor, there is nothing." When Wang Guangrong bent down to reply, he looked at Shen Sirong, and his eyes were full of relief.

Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were locked on Shen Sirong, and his thorny eyes seemed to cut her away.

"It's not good." Xiao Yuanqi raised the corners of his mouth and pulled Shen Sirong out of the door. Xiao Yuanqi brushed his sleeves gently and closed the door firmly. No one knew what had just happened in the house.

There is no need to look back. Shen Sirong also knew what it looked like behind her at this moment. Her hands were suddenly cold and piercing, and Xiao Yuanqi was the moment he touched her eyes.

The light outside the door is very opposite to the darkness in the room, just like Shen Sirong's mood at this time. She was like stepping on the soft sponge without any support.

"Why did the emperor come?"

Xiao Yuanqi did not open his mouth, so Shen Sirong had to break the deadlock. In front of the door stood a large number of guards and palace guards, as well as several Shen's servants who led the way. She doesn't want to carry the inexplicable burden like this in full view of the public.

"What do you think? I received a report that my noble concubine was selfish with other men. How can I not come? Huh?"

Xiao Yuanqi said with a sneer, looking at the faces of the people present covered down like black clouds.

"Humph, this is interesting, saying that my concubine is selfish with a man? Please ask the emperor to tell my concubine who is this? Shen Sirong's light skirt was raised and half bent his legs to salute.

Xiao Yuanqi snapped his finger, and someone brought a man. The man was strange, but he was wearing the clothes of the Shen family.

"This is the nurse of your Shen family. Today, he went to the palace to report the news. He is so revering. It's better for her to talk to her beloved concubine in person.

Wang Guangrong brought a square stool, spread a fine brocade mat on it, and let Xiao Yuanqi sit down.

Shen Sirong approached the man and asked loudly, "I don't know who you are?" Why have I never seen you?"

The man had a beard on his face, and his eyes turned around from time to time. He looked at Shen Sirong and lowered his voice again.

"Naturally, I don't know her, and I am the new nurse in the house.

"Then you should show evidence. If you dare to slander my palace, I will never forgive you." Shen Sirong burst out coldly. She looked at the crowd. Wang and Shen Siyi had not come yet.

The man knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yuanqi and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I just came to the residence of a man in black with my own eyes."

"Then you are also here at this moment, also dressed in black. Is that person or you?" Shen Sirong listened to the wrong words and waited for his follow-up.

Sure enough, the man pointed to another person in the crowd and said to Xiao Yuanqi, "Your Majesty, that maid is the maidservant before the noble concubine enters the palace, and she can also testify."

Looking in the direction he pointed, it was Chunliu.

Coincidentally, Wang and Shen Siyi came at this moment. The people in Shen's house made way for them. Shen Siyi saw such a situation and came forward to hold Shen Sirong and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

The worry overflowed with words. Shen Sirong pulled it out of Shen Siyi's hand. She took a step back and looked at Shen Siyi in alienation.

"Are you worried about me, sister? That's not necessary." Shen Sirong looked at the spring willow brought in.

Xiao Yuanqi saw the movements of the Shen Sirong sisters in his eyes. He stood up and stood in front of Chunliu: "Are you the maidservant before the noble concubine entered the palace?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then tell me that the noble concubine has something to do with others?" Xiao Yuanqi bit every word and asked slowly.

Chunliu's shoulder clearly trembled. She nodded and said, "To the emperor, the maidservant did see a man in black coming to Xiaoyuan."

"What happened before the Empress entered the palace? What's the matter?"

Xiao Yuanqi asked deeply, and Chunliu shook his head.

"My sister has always been good in the house and will never do anything bad. On the contrary, my sister has been careful. In the past few days of returning home, she embroidered a veil for you, which is in the house. I was really moved to see it.

Shen Siyi was busy helping Shen Sirong "resolve the siege" and said.

"Really?" Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shen Sirong if something had happened. Seeing that Shen Sirong did not answer, he ordered Shen Siyi to go in and take him to have a look.

After Shen Siyi refused several times, she still stepped into Shen Sirong's room. Wang Guangrong followed her. Wang Guangrong had just searched Shen Sirong's room. If she found anything now, it would be a failure.

However, Shen Siyi was very smart and came out empty-handed. Presumably, the mess in the house must have been looked at by her and knew that it had been searched.

"Your Majesty, I have never found it." Shen Siyi's voice was as slight as a thin silk.

Xiao Yuanqi smiled and did not blame him. He looked at Shen Sirong again, waiting for her to put everything to make it clear.

"Your Majesty, my concubine found something in the house today. That kind of thing is now on my concubine's personal maid's freehand, but the freehand is missing at this moment.

"Mother, my freehand is here."

Before Shen Sirong finished speaking, he dragged a woman out on a cold night. The man was "handwriting".

Half a human skin mask hung on his face, and large blood stains on his chest dyed his clothes red. This bloody image made Xiao Yuanqi frown.

"It turns out that my freehandwriting has always been disguised. Humph, I dragged it down and cut it." Xiao Yuanqi waved his hand impatiently.

"Your Majesty, this is not freehand. There is a red silk thread tied by my concubine's hand on her freehand wrist, but she doesn't have it. That's what makes my concubine suspicious.
