palace heart

Chapter 73
Such a ruthless Emperor Ying, actually used this trick, Shen Hongde regretted that it was too late to let him have the first opportunity, he glanced at the imperial decree, and said angrily: "This marshal has been in the mansion of Mr. Cao, how could he enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, To poison Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Shu."

"Are you here? Yes, Marshal Shen doesn't need to explain to me. Go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and see the emperor before explaining!" Fang Taitong stared at Shen Hongde, waved for someone to arrest Shen Hongde, and threatened: "If Marshal Shen wants to resist arrest, Shen Young Master, we have no choice but to take it with us."

Shen Hongde blushed with anger, Emperor Ying, you are too ruthless, if you want to seize the military power in my hands, can you commit any crimes you want to commit indiscriminately?The emperor is forcing the ministers to rebel, so the ministers have to rebel?

But Shen Mojun is in their hands. If he resists arrest now, Shen Mojun will definitely suffer. He is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and Mr. Cao can testify for him. It will depend on how Emperor Ying arranges it.

Shen Hongde thought that as long as he didn't admit it, Emperor Ying would naturally have nothing to do with him. After two days, Shen Mojun would be able to wake up. If Emperor Ying wanted to kill him then, the prison would not be able to lock him up.

Then he figured it out, he didn't struggle too much, and shook his hands fiercely: "I didn't do anything, I was afraid that you would fail, so just go, I don't believe that the emperor can listen to anything."

Second Yiniang let go of her ties, and chased a few steps, crying and trying to break through the barrier of the guards, asking what happened, crying out her fear, but the guards were like a front line, how difficult it was for her to break through as a woman, only the sound of crying came from afar : "Our master is innocent, he is loyal to the emperor, how could he assassinate the emperor, how could he poison the empress dowager, someone must be framing our master..."

"President Fang, we found a set of assassin's night clothes." The two stepped out of the gate of Shen's mansion, and another guard chased after him holding Chen Jinghua's night clothes hidden on the tree fork.

Fang Taitong looked at Ye Xingyi, looked at Shen Hongde, and said calmly: "Take it, and when you return to the palace later, submit everything to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will decide the case."

After entering the palace gate, Shen Hongde couldn't help himself, and he was put into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the white light was like a knife, which made my eyes hurt.

Empress Dowager Gao's symptoms of poisoning were relatively mild, and she woke up in the middle of the night. When she heard that it was Shen Hongde who committed the crime, she was angry and happy.

What was angry was that Shen Hongde was too defiant to attack her.

Fortunately, assassinating the emperor was a capital crime, and she had a legitimate reason to get rid of Shen Hongde.

In order not to let Emperor Ying soften his heart, Empress Dowager Gao sent Zhong Shanggong to send a message to Emperor Ying early in the morning, telling Emperor Ying to report to his father and give Empress Dowager Gao an explanation.

Li Qianlan's condition is not as optimistic as Empress Dowager Gao's. Although her poison was cleared, it was not completely cleared. After taking the antidote, she vomited it up again not long after. At night, she developed a high fever and lost her mind. She vomited several mouthfuls again in the middle of the night The blood is all the sequelae of poisoning.

Imperial Physician Meng couldn't let Li Qianlan die in his hands like this, he tried his best to treat Li Qianlan, and finally stabilized Li Qianlan's condition in the early morning, but at this time, Imperial Physician Meng was already so tired that his legs were dangling and he needed the help of a medical woman to help him. I have to walk.

Seeing that Li Qianlan was completely fine, Emperor Ying went to the high hall of the Criminal Ministry to interrogate Shen Hongde.

Shen Hongde was interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice early in the morning, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Emperor Ying swaying into the hall in a golden dragon robe, full of anger, aloof and overwhelming.

"I am wronged. I did not enter the palace last night. I am at Mr. Cao's home. The emperor can ask Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao will testify for this minister." Shen Hongde was imprisoned only because he had never encountered the criminal law, but he was also tied up by five flowers. , he was dressed disheveledly, his hair was loose, and he knelt on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

"Huh..." Thinking of Li Qianlan's tossing all night, Emperor Ying's eyes burst into flames: "Let's not talk about anything else, I will ask you, how many people can use Marshal Shen's signature sword technique - the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves?"

"Just Chen and Mo Jun." Shen Hongde has more than one son, but Shen Mojun is exceptionally partial, giving him all the good ones selflessly, and imparting the best swordsmanship to him.

"When the assassin assassinated me last night, he used the autumn wind to sweep the fallen leaves. Shen Mojun was dying of illness, and he didn't have the physical strength to assassinate me at all, and the only remaining candidate was you. Marshal Shen is a brave man, what do you want in this palace?" Going in and out is not the same as entering your own back garden, unless you find me someone who is both skilled in martial arts and knows how to sweep fallen leaves in autumn, then I will believe you." Emperor Ying said bitterly, speaking of anger, He couldn't help punching the table with his hand, but he hurt the wound when he didn't want to, and he couldn't help frowning, showing the royal power even more.

Although Shen Hongde is upright and not afraid of slanting shadows, but he knows the sword technique of sweeping the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and there are only their father and son in this capital.The master has passed away many years ago, and the senior brother is far away in the south, it is impossible, the senior brother has trained some disciples, came here to make trouble, Shen Hongde thought for a while, boldly said: "The emperor said so, but who can testify to the emperor? Does it prove that the sword technique used by the assassin is the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves?"

Emperor Ying was so angry that he was about to collapse. He lost his demeanor and roared red-eyed: "Then you mean to say that I am playing tricks? You mean that this is the Empress Dowager Gao who I sent someone to kill. Go Damn Concubine Shu, kill all the imperial guards in the palace, and kill my own personal eunuch, Eunuch Xi. And I did these things only to harm you, Shen Hongde."

"I dare not." Longyan was furious, and Shen Hongde had to bow his head.

"If you don't dare, then who would dare. Shen Hongde, let me tell you, I don't care about your military power. The princess of the Silk-Tipping Kingdom will send her to marry me next month, and I will make her the queen. The military strength has become my powerful backing again. Also, you are my dog, and if I let you manage it, you can manage it. If I don’t let you manage the army, you can still sit in this position today. Now I want Taking back your power is as easy as taking your life, so there is no need to play these shameful tricks with you." Emperor Ying was aggressive.

A set of cruel words finally woke up Shen Hongde. There is nothing in this world that belongs to Emperor Ying. Even if he has one-third of the army, even if his strength is equal to that of Emperor Ying, but Emperor Ying is the lord of a country after all. There is prestige to go to Linguo to borrow troops to help out, so it is naturally a matter of one sentence for Emperor Ying to take away all his military power, but Emperor Ying has never done that, he just wants to use him to stabilize the hearts of the world.

But if Emperor Ying did not do this matter, then who would harm him?

Empress Dowager Gao?Shen Hongde thought of another rival.

"Present the hidden weapon for Marshal Shen to see." Emperor Ying saw that Shen Hongde stopped talking, thinking that he was persuaded, and ordered him to present the hidden weapon that injured Emperor Ying's arm.

Shen Hongde was tied up and unable to do anything, Eunuch Wei raised the hidden weapon in front of his eyes.

The concealed weapon is white, in the shape of a flat knife, half the length of a palm, with bamboo engraved on one side, and a circle drawn on the other, with the word "Shen" written in the circle. There is blood on one end of the knife, which has dried and turned dark red.Shen Hongde looked at it, if he only looked at the hidden weapon itself, he couldn't see any clues, it was obviously the Shen family's special throwing knife.

"Outsiders have seen the flying knives of the Shen family, so it's not that difficult to make one." Shen Hongde denied it after beating him to death.

"Show him the evidence found on the top of the Dexuan Palace." Seeing his dead expression, Emperor Ying ordered someone to present a second piece of evidence.

When Shen Hongde saw it, he could no longer be so calm. He was a little dumbfounded, but he could already guess who the person who wanted to harm him was.

The second evidence is a white silk handkerchief, on which Shen Hongde's favorite bamboo fence is embroidered. On the bamboo fence are embroidered two names, one is Shen Hongde and the other is Ma Lan.Ma Lan is Shen Hongde's wife and Shen Mojun's biological mother. What does it mean if such a thing falls in the Dexuan Palace? Shen Hongde finds it difficult to tell the difference.

In fact, Shen Hongde has been wearing this silk handkerchief on his body all the time, and he is reluctant to use it. That day in the ward, Li Qianlan fed medicine to Shen Mojun. He saw the medicine slipping down the corner of Shen Mojun's mouth, so he took out this silk handkerchief and wiped the corner of Shen Mojun's mouth , When he went back later, he found that the silk handkerchief was missing, so he went back to Shen Mojun's room to look for it. At that time, Li Qianlan only said that he didn't see it.

Li Qianlan?
Shen Hongde remembered the matter of Yurong, and his body softened.

"You can blame me for killing Yurong."

"Strange, I hate it too."

Shen Hongde remembered what he said to Li Qianlan after Yurongchu's death. Li Qianlan said at that time: "I will avenge Yurong's revenge. I want you to take my life, okay?"

At that time, he remembered that his hand was tightly holding the handle of the knife, and he had a great killing intent towards Li Qianlan, which was not even for Empress Dowager Gao!

If this matter is not Yingdi, then it is even less likely to be the Empress Dowager Gao, because the Empress Dowager Gao has the courage to harm others and does not have the courage to gamble with her own life, so now she can think of it, calculate it, and do it. There is only one Li Qianlan.

She lives her life without any scruples, and revenge is her only belief in living.But when Li Qianlan stole his silk handkerchief, he never noticed.

Shen Hongde understood Li Qianlan, but it was too late, he knew Li Qianlan's intelligence and courage, she dared to do this, she must be well prepared.

Just like now, she hurt herself more than anyone else, making others not believe that she did it.Moreover, who would believe that a weak woman like her could climb to the top of the Dexuan Hall and leave behind his belongings.

Shen Hongde convinced Li Qianlan, and even more the invisible forces behind Li Qianlan.

Li Qianlan walked around the gate of hell and came back, feeling no more fear in her heart. For her, death is only a little painful now, and after that, she will be completely relieved.

Li Qianlan didn't know how long she had been asleep, that day she decided to bid farewell to the gate of hell for the time being, wake up to have a look in the world, and join in the fun and make trouble.
