Chapter 665 Nonsense
When approaching the gate of the palace, Deputy Commander Chen's eyes suddenly fixed on Shen Cheng, and said: "There are some things that should be said and should not be said. Mr. Shen should know the seriousness. Even His Majesty can't help the Xiao family. My lord, don't hit a stone with an egg."

Shen Cheng's expression was calm: "Vice Commander Chen doesn't want to testify against Empress Dowager Xiao, it's okay, some truths will be revealed to the world one day even if they are dusty."

Deputy Commander Chen was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips, and said sneeringly without hesitation: "Sir Shen, why do you say such nonsense?"

The corners of Shen Cheng's lips twitched up, without concealing the arrogance of his body, he said lightly: "Because I am Shen Cheng."

Deputy Commander Chen visibly froze for a moment.

He was obviously so casual, but with an unquestionable certainty, his arrogance almost made people dare not look directly at him.

Deputy Commander Chen pursed his lips and said nothing more.

In the carriage, it became silent again, and when they reached the gate of the palace, several people got out of the carriage.

As the sky darkened and she was holding an umbrella again, no one noticed that the woman in plain clothes and with a slightly flabbergasted footsteps was actually the dead Concubine Xian.

In Zichen Hall, Emperor Chu was sitting behind the dragon case, listening to Shen Cheng slowly telling the story.

The shadow of the lamp fell on his face, flickering on and off, making his expression extremely cold.

After the last word was finished, there was a dead silence in the hall.

Emperor Chu's eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Concubine Xian: "Vice Commander Chen had an affair with the palace servants, killed someone to silence him, and was bumped into by Aifei. In the cold palace, unfortunately fell into a dry well, fortunately was rescued by Lord Shen, my concubine was frightened, I asked Eunuch Zhao to take you back."

This not only saved the face of the royal family, but also gave Bei Yan an explanation.

Concubine Xian's face was pale, as if all her strength had been taken away in an instant, and she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, my concubine has no face to see Sheng Yan again, and I am willing to die to atone for my sin."

Emperor Chu held a teacup in his hand, and his knuckles turned white because of too much force: "My beloved concubine is my concubine Xian, the princess of Beiyan, she has always been dignified and virtuous, why is she so out of control?"

Emperor Chu didn't kill her because he cared about her status as Princess Beiyan and wanted her to remember her duty.

Concubine Xian's body froze for a moment, she raised her head to stare at Emperor Chu's icy cold face, then slowly lowered her body, knocking her forehead on the cold ground, and said slowly in a dry voice: "The concubine was overly frightened and was talking nonsense for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Eunuch Zhao,"

Emperor Chu raised his voice, and Eunuch Zhao pushed open the palace door and came in, bowing his body and saying, "Your Majesty,"

"Concubine Xian was overly frightened, and sent the imperial physician to Xianyun Palace."

"Yes," Eunuch Zhao responded, turning sideways to Concubine Xian respectfully, "Madam, this old servant will send you back first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine will leave."

Concubine Xian bowed her knees to Emperor Chu, and the moment she stood up, she turned to look at Vice Commander Chen, showing a look of sadness and pain.

Deputy Commander Chen's throat rolled, and a thin layer of water vapor slowly formed in his eyes, and he stared deeply at her.

Concubine Xian's heart was sore and mournful, tears rolled down from her eyes, she closed her eyes, finally stopped looking at him, and the moment she turned her head, she walked out of Zichen Palace resolutely.

This farewell is eternal life and never seeing each other again.

Deputy Commander Chen watched her walk out of the Zichen Hall, watched the hall door slowly close, suddenly smiled, and looked back at Emperor Chu.

"The minister saw Concubine Xian fell into the dry well and thought she was dead, so he beheaded Zhu'er. Li Daitao was stiff. The crime is unforgivable. I beg your majesty to spare the family of the minister."
