Chapter 8

The palace, the imperial study.

The unhappiness in Emperor Yongqing's heart had no place to vent, his complexion was extremely gloomy, and the strange atmosphere continued to permeate. At this moment, Xiang'an notified outside the door, saying that the Inspectorate had something important to report.

Xiang'an is the adopted son of the old eunuch, how can someone who was raised by the old eunuch not understand the rules, it must be an important matter to send word at this time.

Emperor Yongqing winked at the old eunuch, and the old eunuch understood, and opened the door to let Xiang'an in.

Seeing that Shen Sitang was still kneeling on the ground, Xiang An knelt down without daring to look any further: "Your Majesty, the Inspectorate has just sent a letter saying that the woman who murdered the third prince died suddenly for no reason. The work of the Inspectorate cannot find out the cause of death. I'm afraid it will break."

After hearing this, Emperor Yongqing yelled angrily: "A bunch of trash, the cause of death of the third prince can't be found out, and now the cause of death of that lowly servant girl can't be found out either, what's the use of raising them!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing that Long Yan was furious, the old eunuch and Xiang An knelt down on the ground and shivered.

Shen Sitang followed their example and fell on the ground, she was also shaking, but she was shaking from laughing.

It seems that she deserves to die!

After Emperor Yongqing finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and looked at Shen Sitang with an even uglier expression.

Shen Sitang suddenly felt like a pain in her back, she was well aware of her situation, if she didn't take the initiative, I'm afraid this time travel trip would really come to an end.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Sitang raised his face righteously, and cupped his hands towards Emperor Yongqing, saying: "It is not a pity for a civilian girl to die, but the real culprit who murdered the third prince has not yet been brought to justice. This person dares to murder the prince. I am not talented, I hope to give His Majesty a heart-to-heart."

Emperor Yongqing felt a little relieved when he heard this.

"How sure are you of finding out the real culprit?"

Shen Sitang shook his head honestly: "Minnv doesn't know, but Minnv is willing to try her best. If Minnv can't share His Majesty's worries, it won't be too late for His Majesty to deal with Minnv."

Emperor Yongqing narrowed his eyes: "You mean, if you find out the real culprit, I must spare your life?"

"Ministers dare not!" Shen Sitang said without blushing, "Ministers know that His Majesty is benevolent, and she doesn't really want to deal with them. It's just that His Majesty wants to give an explanation to the people of the world, and to the royal family and nobles. Your Majesty takes the overall situation as the most important thing, and the life of a civilian girl is as light as a feather, if your Majesty wants to dispose of it, the civilian girl will have no complaints."

Shen Sitang said that His Majesty is benevolent, and said that His Majesty puts the overall situation first, as if the emperor's heart was actually towards her, and he had to deal with her out of helplessness. These words comforted the emperor's unwillingness.

Emperor Yongqing's expression softened, and he said with a smile: "Shen Aiqing is a good teacher." After speaking, his face straightened: "Shen Sitang, I order you to find out the truth within three days, and there must be no mistakes!"

Shen Sitang cupped his hands and bowed: "My daughter, Shen Sitang, accepts the decree!"

Emperor Yongqing nodded in satisfaction: "If you find out the real culprit within three days and let the third prince rest in peace, not only will I not hold you accountable for humiliating the prince, but I will also reward you!"

Shen Sitang respectfully saluted the emperor: "My lady, thank you for your kindness, your majesty is wise!"

Emperor Yongqing gave a merciful hum, and waved his hand to signal her to back down.

"The servant girl retire."

Shen Sitang staggered to his feet, and exited the imperial study step by step, Xiang'an followed the old eunuch's eyes.

Emperor Yongqing saw Shen Sitang's weakness in his eyes, as a martial artist, his legs became weak after kneeling for a while, she really was the number one waste in the Yan Dynasty, it's a pity for her mother's talent.

The old eunuch Wang De had served Emperor Yongqing for many years, so he understood his temperament, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen's eldest daughter is really very intelligent. Your Majesty can rest assured that the case of His Highness the Third Prince is entrusted to her."

Emperor Yongqing smiled lightly and did not speak.

Shen Sitang is indeed smart, she used to call herself a girl of the people, but after hearing him call Shen Mingyi Shen Aiqing, she called herself a minister's daughter, she is a person who judges the situation, but the most important thing in the Yan Dynasty is smart people, not to mention being too smart is stupid, it's just a mistake .

-

Shen Sitang did it on purpose. Her grandfather taught her since she was a child that she should know how to hide her clumsiness as well as show her clumsiness.

She dissected the case and found out the cause of the death of the third prince. The emperor personally received her. If she behaved too shrewdly, she would definitely attract the emperor's special attention. A proper self-righteousness would make the emperor lower his vigilance and prevent her She is a little person in the eyes.

Now her cheap father is definitely fine, as long as she finds out the real culprit who murdered the third prince, she will be fine.

As for what to do next, don't think about those useless things, her little head is still hanging on her belt, so let's save my life first.

"Miss Shen, I haven't congratulated you yet!"

Xiang'an's voice brought back Shen Sitang's thoughts, and Shen Sitang bowed to Xiang'an: "If Mr. Xiang'an hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such good luck. I will definitely repay Mr. Xiang'an's life-saving grace. "

Xiang'an was flattered and bowed to Shen Sitang: "I am ashamed to be Miss Shen's savior because of the effort I have made. Miss Shen has beaten this slave."

Shen Sitang used to be the daughter of a criminal minister, but she was also a noble daughter of a famous family. Now that Mr. Shen is about to resume his post, how can he be worthy of Gao Pan to benefit from the daughter of the Minister of Criminal Affairs.

"Mr. Xiang'an's words are wrong. As the daughter of a criminal minister, everyone avoids me, but Mr. Xiang'an made a point. I, Shen Sitang, will never forget such a great kindness."

Xiang'an smiled all over his face: "Miss Shen, the servant just opened his mouth and didn't do anything."

Shen Sitang smiled: "Eunuch Xiang'an don't want to be polite, I still have something to ask Mr. Xiang'an."

Xiang'an immediately became serious: "Don't dare to ask for advice, if Miss Shen has something to say, just ask the servant."

Shen Sitang was also not polite to Xiang'an, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Xiang'an, does Mr. Xiang'an know, what is the background of that concubine who killed the third prince?"

Xiang'an thought for a while: "I don't know the details, but the concubines of His Highness the Third Prince are either maids in the palace, or sent by princes and ministers. His Royal Highness the Third Prince found it from outside, Miss Shen might as well check it out from inside."

Shen Sitang nodded in response, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang'an, you have done me a big favor again."

Xiang'an followed suit with a smile: "Oh, the slave just said a few things that everyone else knows, and it's the same when Miss Shen asks others."

While joking, the gate of the palace arrived.

Xiang'an bowed to Shen Sitang: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry I can't send you away."

Shen Sitang also bowed to him: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang'an."

Xiang'an used to pick up and drop off nobles, he always got some rewards, but today he didn't get any money, but it was the happiest time for him.

-

Outside the palace gate, the official who sent Shen Sitang here was still there. What surprised Shen Sitang was that besides the official, Mu Huaichuan was also outside.

When did he come?
Could it be that Mu Huaichuan was the person Xiang'an said the inspector sent the letter to?

He, the right censor of the Inspectorate, came to deliver the letter in person?
