Chapter 566 Who?
But it’s too late to say these now!
After Xiao Mengxi finished saying this, she began to observe the emperor's expression. As a result, she saw that the expression of Emperor Qianwu, who was originally furious, suddenly became subtle.
Xiao Mengxi's heart sank, realizing that her previous guess was correct.
Her cousin was particularly fond of the mysterious Wolf King...
"Oh? You really don't know when you offended the Canglang King?" Emperor Qianwu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Mengxi felt uneasy and cried even harder: "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"
Emperor Qianwu sneered, flipped out the memorial from the Wolf King, and threw it directly in front of Xiao Mengxi: "If that's the case, you should take a good look at it. I thought it was a normal memorial, why did he put a notebook in it for me?"
Xiao Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that a storybook had indeed fallen out of the memorial, and the name of the storybook was "Prisoner of the Golden Sparrow".
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't know what this meant. Now there's no need to ask!"
Xiao Mengxi's face turned pale and she quickly flipped through the storybook, only to find that a sequel had been added to the storybook at some point, even including the fact that she used poison to force the official's daughter and forced her into prostitution.
Not only that, but after her conviction, many evil deeds were exposed.
Some of them she had indeed done, but there were many that she had never done at all!
But she couldn't defend herself, because this defense meant that she condoned other matters.
"Royal brother...you also know what Rui'er looks like...I only care about him now, please understand my painstaking efforts!"
Xiao Mengxi's heart has sunk to the bottom, and now she can only hope that Emperor Qianwu can remember their old friendship.
"You are a member of the royal family, but you oppress women, bully the common people, and force the ladies of noble families. I don't pursue you because of our old friendship. Do you still have the nerve to beg for mercy from me?" Emperor Qianwu shouted angrily.
Xiao Mengxi knew that it was over, she was completely finished.
"Your Majesty... I have already admitted my fault. Rui'er and I have already received retribution. Please show some leniency and give me a chance to live!"
Emperor Qianwu's face was grim: "Mengxi, you are already old. I have indulged you because it is not easy for you and your son. Now you are suffering the consequences. It is indeed retribution."
"The Wolf King is a stubborn and obstinate person. Even if I ask him personally, he may not buy into it. Moreover, he has made contributions to the country. How can I let such a meritorious official feel disappointed? As for the poison in your body, I can ask the people in the Imperial Hospital to treat you wholeheartedly."
Xiao Mengxi shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face. It was obvious that the fear brought by the arrival of night every day was far greater than the countdown of life.
What's more, hasn't she ever invited a royal physician?
"Royal brother... please save Mengxi... please save my sister..." Xiao Mengxi knelt and moved forward.
Emperor Qianwu waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, go down."
Xiao Mengxi was "invited" out of the palace by Wang Xi. She was completely lost. Bi He's eyes were red from crying: "Princess, shall we go see the imperial physician first?"
An hour later, looking at the imperial physician shaking his head in front of him, Xiao Mengxi felt hopeless.
Only after leaving the palace and getting on the carriage did she slowly speak: "Go to the Shen Mansion, I want to see Shen Shuyi!"
*
The Shen family was in a hurry to get married, so after the wedding was decided on that day, the Feng family suffered a loss and came to propose marriage.
Just as Shen Shuyi thought, the 100,000 taels of silver were added to the dowry by the Feng family in different forms.
For a while, everyone outside had their own speculations, and they felt that the Feng family valued the Shen family's daughter-in-law very much.
Shen Jingzhen was in great glory for a while. She was always trying to please and lobby Qin Xuerong, just to make her dowry look better.
At this time, Shen Shuyi made some cakes and boiled a pot of soup, and was planning to go to Xie Mansion to meet Xie Jingchi.
This person is really picky, and I don't know how he can be so eloquent.
The food Yuping cooked was obviously delicious, but he refused to touch it. She almost burned the food she made in the kitchen, but he kept praising it for being good.
But it must be said that Shen Shuyi was still happy that someone recognized her cooking skills.
She said that her cooking skills were just lacking a pair of eyes that were good at discovering.
Having said that, he helped her a lot with the Guining County Princess's Mansion. Shen Shuyi felt quite pitiful when she thought that he would either die on the streets or live out his life alone.
It just so happened that she had some free time these days, so she simply took his pulse and showed him some care.
What she didn't expect was that when Shen Shuyi arrived at Xie's house, she was told that Xie Jingchi was not there.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen. The master has not returned since he left the house two days ago, but he has asked us to keep the things you send us. However, he may not be here in the next few days. It's freezing cold, so you don't need to come again."
Shen Shuyi really didn't expect that Xie Jingchi was not there. After leaving his things, he got on the carriage and returned home.
Along the way, there were more and more people begging on the streets, some of them were naked, and Shen Shuyi was in a heavy mood.
"Tomorrow, send a message to my uncle. It's almost time. We'll start selling charcoal tomorrow. Everyone needs to use their badge to buy charcoal. The maximum amount you can buy per day is no more than ten kilograms."
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi lowered the car curtain, thinking that the herbal medicine shop under his uncle's name had already been selling medicine at low prices, and the doctor was even providing free medical treatment in the charity hall.
The weather will probably remain cold for more than half a month. I just hope that the people in Beijing can survive it.
"Miss...Princess Guining is too patient. What should we do now that the redbud grass has not been found?" This is what Jinzhu is most concerned about.
"No rush, Mr. Liancheng has been researching." Shen Shuyi looked calm.
"But the spider-silk-like red line has spread to the shoulders." Jinzhu's eyes were filled with tears!
"I won't die like this. Didn't Mr. Liancheng say before that there is a flower called Hongluan Flower that can fight poison with poison and delay time?"
Jinzhu bit her lip and looked out the window without saying a word.
If only her life could be exchanged for the young lady's life...
Shen Shuyi pinched her little face: "Don't be afraid."
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion and happened to meet Princess Guining's carriage. Shen Shuyi stopped and saw Princess Guining, who was pale and embarrassed, also got off the carriage.
She raised her eyebrows and said to Jinzhu, "Here I come."
Xiao Mengxi stared at Shen Shuyi with a complicated look. After a while, she slowly said, "Can I meet with the county lady?"
"Princess, please come in."
Shen Shuyi invited everyone into Yunshu Garden and had them serve tea. After sending everyone away, his eyes fell on Xiao Mengxi's hands wrapped in thick cloth and he raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that the princess has not had a good time these days?"
Xiao Mengxi laughed at herself, no longer showing the same spirit as before: "I admit that I lost, but the county lady didn't suffer any loss after this incident, I wonder if the Wolf King can show some mercy."
Shen Shuyi paused: "Who?"
