Chapter 384
"Shen Zhiyong, you still dare to quibble in front of me! If you weren't as stiff as Li Daitao, how could there be some rumors in the market?" Murong Zheng said with a stern tone.

"I will give you a chance now to honestly confess the deceit you committed back then. If not, when I personally find out, it will be more than just copying and beheading everyone!"

Shen Zhiyong, who was kneeling on the Golden Luan Hall, trembled all over, and his face was as pale as death in an instant.

Not only copying and beheading the whole family, but also implicating the nine clans?

No!No matter what, he couldn't admit it!

As long as he firmly insists that he is not deceiving the emperor, who can testify that Li Daitao replaced his concubine daughter with his concubine daughter and married into Prince Gong's residence, except for the people in the Shen residence?
The matter of deceiving the emperor has become a fact, those maids and servants of the Shen residence want to survive, who would dare to admit it without authorization?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiyong forced himself to stabilize his trembling body, calmed himself down, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I don't know why such absurd rumors spread in the market."

"Perhaps, some people want to put this humble minister to death, so they deliberately fabricated such absurd stories. I hope the emperor will learn from them."

Murong Zheng narrowed his eyes coldly, "Okay! Since you refuse to admit it, I will order a thorough investigation into this matter. If it is finally found out that you are indeed cheating on the emperor, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Shen Zhiyong's heart trembled, and he prostrated himself on the ground.

……

In Prince Gong's mansion, with Antai and the others with their small speakers, the news that Murong was summoning Shen Zhiyong soon spread to Shen Jingshu's ears.

"Princess, now the emperor has ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this matter. I believe that within a few days, the fact that the Shen family has deceived the emperor will be confirmed. At that time, the emperor will definitely punish them all for copying and beheading!"

Shen Jingshu hugged Xiao Xin'er, his eyes rolled slowly, and finally shook his head.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

The three were startled, "Why?"

"Shen Miaozhu and I are similar in appearance. When I stand with her, except for the people in the Shen residence, almost no one can tell who we are." Shen Jingshu said slowly.

"Now, there is only one Shen Miaozhu in Shen's residence, how can the people of Dali Temple tell if she is the second young lady of Shen's family?"

"As for the servants of the Shen family, how serious is the crime of deceiving the emperor, how could they admit that the one who married into Prince Gong's residence was indeed not the young lady of the Shen family?"

Unless she personally stood up and testified that the current second young lady of the Shen family was a fake, otherwise, there was no way to convict the Shen family.

Antai and the three of them were stunned, they had never thought of this before.

"Then... are we going to let Shen Zhiyong and his family get away with it?" An Ming murmured.

"Who said they let them get away with it?" Murong Li strode out from the room, "Since the bow is fired, it is natural to catch the prey and put it in a cage!"

"How?" An Ming raised his head and asked him.

"This king is entering the palace now!" Murong threw out seven words loudly and loudly.

A few people were silent and understood in their hearts.

Murong Li went into the palace in person and reported everything to Murong Zheng.

Knowing that Shen Jingshu is the Second Miss Shen who married into Prince Gong's Mansion, Murong Zheng's expression can be described as horrified.

"You already knew?"

Got it, but concealed it?
"It's not too early, Erchen only found out that she is the second young miss of the Shen family when he was in the northern border." Murong Li said frankly.

"Moreover, strictly speaking, she has nothing to do with this matter. She had no intention of deceiving the emperor. The Shen family forced her to do so. If she hadn't married on her behalf, she might have died already."
