Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 304 Why are you hot and cold?

"What are you doing here?"

The tone was cold as if he was blaming her.

But those hands, and the heart she leaned on, were so hot, and her heartbeat was so fast.

Shen Zhishu wanted to feel wronged and seek justice for himself.

But when the words came to my lips, I choked up.

Then the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Yan Chu suddenly felt his palms were wet, and the tears burned his heart.

He almost instinctively hugged the person tightly and picked him up.

Then he sent it directly to the cottage next door.

"Stay here and don't go out yet."

After saying that, he asked Bi Tao to come in and accompany her, and he went to the "crime scene".

Shen Zhishu looked at his departing back with tears in her eyes and couldn't help crying quietly for a while.

Bitao ran around anxiously and stamped her feet.

"Why does the emperor look so bad? He looks so fierce. Is he blaming you for coming here? Is he going to punish you?"

Shen Zhishu shook his head.

"Don't cry, my lady. Even if the emperor wants to punish you, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about you anymore. It's okay, it's okay..."

Bitao was in a state of panic and was really worried.

"I am fine."

How could he be angry and want to punish her? It was obvious that he was just worried about himself.

In the house next door.

Yan Chu stood where Shen Zhishu had just stood, looking calmly at the corpse in front of him.

A moment later, Shen Wang rushed to the scene with the coroner and began to inspect the scene.

"Your Majesty, this place is not suitable for staying for long. Please leave so that I can handle the case."

I have seen many murders, and Shen Wang often goes to cases that are even more tragic than this, so this is nothing to worry about.

His face looked as usual.

"Has Concubine Xian ever worked on a case with Lord Shen?"

Yan Chu suddenly asked a question that was a bit puzzling.

Shen Wang was also stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly mention his daughter at this time.

"Your Majesty, when Concubine Xian was still a married woman, she always kept to her duties and never left the house. She is a woman, so how could she follow me to these crime scenes?"

"So, she hasn't seen a dead person either. How strange."

Yan Chu muttered to himself.

No wonder he was so scared just now, unable to move and crying.

"What did the Emperor say?"

Shen Wang looked puzzled and had no idea what this meant.

"It's okay. I'll leave this to you. I'll wait outside."

He couldn't wait.

Then Shen Zhishu wiped away her tears, calmed down, and saw Yan Chu coming back.

"What are you doing here? But who forced you in?"

Without waiting for her to ask, Yan Chu walked over and hugged her in his arms, asking softly.

The tone was as if one was holding a candy to coax a child into telling the truth.

Especially those hands, which were placed on his back, patting it gently.

It seemed that he felt how frightened he was.

Hadn't he ignored her before?

What is going on now?

"No one forced me to do this. I just came here in a hurry because I heard that Princess Jing'an was in trouble."

"Didn't anyone tell you that she was dead? How dare you go and see her?"

"I know. I just want to know how she died. Your Majesty, I dare to look. I am not as fragile as you think."

Shen Zhishu now clearly knew that he was worried that she couldn't bear it.

"Do you have the guts?"

Yan Chu, however, looked suspicious, thinking that she was just showing off.

"I can't say for sure. I don't know if I have the courage, but it certainly didn't scare me. But when the emperor came in, I was startled."

"So I am scarier than that corpse?"

Yan Chu was even more confused. What on earth was she saying?

"How could that be? What nonsense is the emperor talking about?"

Shen Zhishu was helpless. Is there any connection between the two?

"Besides, that was Princess Jing'an, not an ordinary corpse. I wonder how people outside the Great Wall will feel when they receive the news of her death."

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Chu with some trepidation.

In addition to being related to the frontier, Princess Jing'an is also the emperor's sister, and he has a sisterly relationship with Princess Jing'an.

Does he feel that he is too cold-blooded?

"I have immediately blocked the news. Today, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace. If the news still leaks out, it can only mean that this matter was planned long ago."

Yan Chu, however, looked calm, as if he was not at all surprised by what he said.

"She looks like she was poisoned. Her body is still warm, so she must have died not long ago. Who in the palace would do such a wicked thing to her?"

She was silent for a while, then spoke carefully.

Everything on the surface is clear, so it would be strange if she kept silent about it, right?

"She has not made any enemies in this palace. I have also checked the palace servants who served her in the past. Some are dead, some have left the palace. There is no trace of her anymore. But this time she was kidnapped together with her mother, but she refused to admit that it was her who did it."

Yan Chu said calmly.

"She probably doesn't dare to admit it."

Who else could it be but her?

Shen Zhishu didn't think there was anyone else.

"Not necessarily. I have detained her for a long time and have tried everything that can be tried. She also admitted the purpose of this trip, but she refused to admit this matter. What do you think is the point of her not admitting it?"

But Yan Chu seemed to have different ideas.

Shen Zhishu belatedly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that he was suspecting that someone was behind this incident, and that the mastermind was the one who attacked Princess Jing'an?

But who in the palace would kidnap the Queen Mother and Jing'an?

"But now that she's dead, it's harder to track down the matter."

Shen Zhishu seemed to have a premonition of something.

But I haven't thought it through yet.

"Since you've already started, there must be traces to follow."

Yan Chu, however, swore solemnly, as if he could really find out the truth.

"Your father is here too. We will arrange a meeting between you two later."

"emperor……"

Hearing this, Shen Zhishu choked up.

"Ok?"

She wanted to ask, why are you so hot and cold? Why did you ignore me before?

But she was afraid that she would suddenly remind the emperor of something and then continue to be cold.

So just don't mention it.

"You are so kind to me."

"You really think so?"

Yan Chu suddenly asked back.

Shen Zhishu nodded without even thinking.

But a bitter smile flashed across Yan Chu's eyes, and his smile looked helpless.

After a while, Shen Wang also checked the crime scene and hurried to report to Yan Chu.

Then he saw his daughter.

He was stunned for a moment.

But after all, he was on duty outside all year round, so he reacted quickly, saluted as usual, and began to report the case.

Shen Zhishu was sitting next to Yan Chu.

He was probably still worried that she was frightened, so he pulled the chair closer so that she was very close to him.

As Shen Zhishu said, preliminary judgment is that Princess Jing'an died of poisoning.

The death happened about an hour ago, during the morning court session.
