"Did you know? The emperor issued an imperial edict early in the morning and sent King Dingyuan to prison!"
"What? Is this news true?"
"How is that possible? King Dingyuan is the emperor's nephew!"
"It's absolutely true! I heard what the guards in the palace said. I heard that King Dingyuan sent someone to steal a very important thing from the emperor, which made the emperor furious. So he reported it to the Queen Mother and punished King Dingyuan. ”
"Would King Dingyuan steal the emperor's things? What things are so important?"
"How would any of us slaves know this? It must be a very important thing."
In the corner outside the long window, several palace maids cleaning the courtyard were chattering, discussing in low voices the major events happening in the palace.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ning heard all their whispers without missing a word.
She stood in front of the window, her hands on the window lattice, but she didn't push it away. Her whole body was stunned as if her acupuncture points had been tapped.
The maids discussed quietly for a while, then dispersed, each cleaning the courtyard.
However, Shen Ning stood blankly in front of the window for a long time, until there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Miss, are you awake?" It was Xiaoru's voice.
She seemed not to hear it, still standing in front of the window, the voices of the palace maids echoing in her ears.
Chu Shaoyang was convicted by Mo Chuan and imprisoned in a prison
Or in the name of theft
But the person behind the drawing was not Chu Shaoyang at all!
Shen Ning can be 100% sure that this matter has nothing to do with Chu Shaoyang. She tried to tell Mo Chuan her judgment several times last night, but Mo Chuan interrupted her or changed the topic without leaving any trace.
Does Mo Chuan not want to hear it at all? Or has he already determined that Chu Shaoyang is the one in charge
She frowned in thought.
This answer can only be given to her by Mo Chuan.
But Mo Chuan disappeared early in the morning. Was he deliberately avoiding her and not wanting to hear her true answer
"Miss, are you awake? I thought you were sleeping, so I never dared to come in and disturb you."
The door was pushed open quietly, and Xiaoru crept in with toiletries in hand. When she saw Shen Ning standing in front of the window, she immediately let out a breath, with an innocent smile on her face.
It was like a ray of sunshine that dispelled the gloom in Shen Ning's heart.
Shen Ning walked over with a smile and rubbed her hair, thinking that if she had a simple mind like Xiao Ru, she might be much happier.
"Xiao Ru, go and find out where the Minister of War, Li Zhixing, is under house arrest?"
After washing up, Shen Ning decided to continue to explore the truth of the matter.
She has already met two of the three suspects, and she must meet the last one to confirm her judgment.
The news Xiaoru came back from after asking surprised her.
It turned out that when Mo Chuan ordered Chu Shaoyang to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison, Li Zhixing had already regained his freedom and let him out of the palace and return home.
It seems that Mo Chuan has made a decision. He believes that the person who stole the blueprints is Chu Shaoyang, and no longer doubts Li Zhixing.
Shen Ning's brows furrowed deeply.
She raised her head and looked at the sky outside. Mo Chuan should have gone to court at this time. If he did not return to Guanju Palace, he would definitely be handling political affairs in the imperial study.
Obviously, Mo Chuan didn't want her to continue to interfere in this matter, but since she had already started investigating, she must get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it.
