My Lady is well

Chapter 108 Trial

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Shen Yueyao.

Even Concubine Wen Shu, who had not raised her eyes since she entered the hall, could not help but show astonishment and looked at her in disbelief.

Shen Yueyao stood up in panic, her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she stared at the queen pitifully, her voice trembling and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Mother...Mother...this..."

Look at her, she seems to be hesitant to speak and in a dilemma.

The queen's heart sank, and she concluded that there must be something fishy about this matter.

He put away his previous pleasant expression and revealed that confusing the royal bloodline was a serious crime that would involve the execution of nine generations of the clan.

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in the queen's eyes, and her previous kindness was gone.

Seeing this, Concubine Song Rong hurriedly jumped out and stood on the moral high ground, launching a righteous rebuke against Shen Yueyao, trying to demonstrate her own loyalty and noble qualities in this way.

"Well! I never thought you would dare to betray the Emperor! Fortunately, the Emperor loved you so much that he not only didn't care about you burning down the Luhua Pavilion, but also personally went out of the palace to bring you back. But you were so ungrateful that you committed adultery with someone else and betrayed him. Don't you feel guilty for betraying his deep love for you?"

Shen Yueyao felt that her logic was flawed. It was obvious that the incident in Changyin Pavilion happened first, and then she escaped from the palace.

But she had no interest in correcting her. Shen Yueyao just pursed her lips, clenched her fists under her sleeves, and tried hard to suppress her smile.

The word "no" almost came out of my mouth.

Compared with Concubine Song Rong's moral judgment, Concubine Jiang appeared much calmer and more rational.

"Lady Shen, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell the Queen. The Queen is fair and strict in her dealings, and will definitely be able to uphold justice for you."

This Concubine Jiang is indeed not a simple person. She flattered the queen with just one sentence and tried to get the truth out of her.

This person is not someone like Lady Wei, so we need to be more careful about him in the future.

Shen Yueyao pinched her palms hard and managed to squeeze out two tears. She knelt down and acted as pitiful and weak as possible.

Li Ning frowned. Seeing that she was clearly confident just now, she wondered what tricks this woman was playing.

"What's going on? Tell me the truth. With me here, no one dares to do anything to you."

Shen Yueyao smiled in her heart and sighed secretly, so domineering!

It’s so comfortable to hug this thigh.

"I dare not lie to the Queen."

Shen Yueyao told the whole story of what happened in Changyin Pavilion that day and cried and accused.

"...The thief blinded me and took me..."

After considering her words, she continued.

"After raping me...he disappeared. When I woke up, Changyin Pavilion was empty, so I don't know who this lecherous lunatic is."

After saying that, he didn't forget to add one more sentence.

"I never thought that there would be such a filthy pervert in the palace. Please, Queen, help me!"

After she finished telling her tragic experience, as she expected, no one looked at her with sympathy, only shock!

Even Li Ning, who usually doesn't care about worldly affairs, was surprised.

Seeing their eyes almost popping out, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

They never expected that Shen Yueyao would actually speak out such an unspeakable thing openly, and the queen didn't know what to do for a moment.

He said calmly, "Jiang Jieyu, what do you think about this matter?"

Concubine Song Rong was stunned with shock and spoke first.

"This... this... Shen Yueyao, you, you are so shameless, talking about having an affair with someone so shamelessly... Oh my God, how can you say such a thing! I advise you to tell me who the adulterer is as soon as possible."

Shen Yueyao snorted in her heart, if I tell you, I’ll scare you to death.

"I really don't know."

Li Ning was silent for a while, then made an assertion.

"This is not her wish and it is none of her business."

Concubine Jiang curled her lips lightly and said, "What Concubine Li said is only half right. Lady Shen may not be willing, but now that she is pregnant, this matter is another matter."

Concubine Song Rong was eager to convict her and interrupted.

"What else is there to discuss? I have never seen a concubine who had an affair with someone and still survived. You let the emperor be your scapegoat, you are probably thinking of reaching for the stars - you are just daydreaming."

Li Ning raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Shen Yueyao.

"The emperor likes to stay in Changyin Pavilion, how do you know it's not his?"

The Queen felt that what Li Ning said made sense, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the Emperor was a man who respected etiquette and integrity, and would definitely not do such an extraordinary thing.

The Queen retorted, "If it was really the Emperor, he should have made a note of it in the sleeping record, but the Emperor did not mention a word to me. Such an adulterous act could not possibly have been done by the Emperor."

Shen Yueyao listened to their clear and logical analysis and sighed inwardly. It seemed that his image in the hearts of the concubines in the harem was quite great!

Watch how I tear off your hypocritical mask.

The queen made a decision after careful consideration.

"Concubine Shen has confused the royal bloodline, and her crime deserves death. However, considering her service to the emperor, I can allow you to end your life on your own. To maintain the face of the royal family, this matter is limited to the sisters present. If this matter gets out, I will definitely punish you."

The queen winked at Nanny Yi, who understood and nodded slightly before leaving.

In a moment, he came to Shen Yueyao with a mahogany table in his hand, on which lay three things: poisoned wine, white silk and a dagger.

The Queen sighed and said, "Lady Shen, we have known each other for a while, and I will not make it difficult for you. You can choose one yourself."

Everyone's attention was on Shen Yueyao, but no one noticed that Jin'er had disappeared at some point.

Tears welled up in Shen Yueyao's eyes as she begged for mercy with a glimmer of hope.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. What if...what if...what if it's the Emperor's?"

The Queen said expressionlessly, "Absolutely impossible."

Concubine Song Rong urged: "Lady Shen, stop delaying time on purpose, and die quickly... cough cough..."

She glanced at the people around her and realized that she was too anxious, so she coughed twice and changed her words.

"Choose now, don't waste time."

What are you urging me to do?

That's right, she is asking for death.

Shen Yueyao closed her eyes and stretched out her trembling hand.

Sometimes he stopped at the white silk, sometimes at the poisoned wine, and sometimes at the dagger. He hesitated between the three and could not make a decision for a moment.

I thought to myself, Jin'er, Jin'er, if you don't come again, your master will go to see the King of Hell.

After hearing Concubine Song Rong urging her several times, she slowly went to get the white silk.

Before she touched the white silk, she heard the eunuch outside the door shouting loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived."
