Chapter 638: Old Seven’s wife, what do you think? The eldest princess is looking for trouble again!
After hearing these words, Shu He always felt that something was wrong.
"Commander Meng, can I ask that groom?"
When Meng Fang heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"
After saying that, he led Shu He towards the groom, praising him as they walked, "The princess is smart and clever. If she could lend a hand, the truth would surely be revealed soon!"
Shu He's face was slightly stiff, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Is this just flattery? Not really, right?
At Meng Fang's level, there is no way he could possibly please her!
"Really! Princess, please don't disbelieve me. In fact, last time in Tongle Palace, I saw that you are a capable person!"
"Zheng Zihe's accusations against you are so convincing, as if they were set in stone. Anyone else would have panicked! But what about you?"
"He remained calm and composed throughout the entire process! In the end, he even refuted Zheng Zihe's accusations one by one!"
"Honestly, this is the first time I've seen such a heroic woman like you!"
"Even our Commander Su said you're a smart person and praised you highly! This is the first time I've heard him praise a woman like that!"
Shu He tilted his head slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
Commander-in-Chief Suche? What did he mean by saying this to Meng Fang?
Is it simply admiration for her? Or is there something deeper?
"The princess has arrived."
Meng Fang spoke, bringing Shu He's thoughts back from their wandering thoughts.
He was a man in his early forties, thin, with dark skin and a purple tint under his eyes. He was obviously a person with weak qi.
Seeing Meng Fang, he cried out in fear, "Commander, I really didn't hurt Miss Zhang! I don't recognize Miss Zhang's tent at all. I got lost and I don't know whose tent I entered. I just saw a man's sharp eyes and I ran away in fear..."
"Everything I said is true, Commander! My lady just asked me to scare her, but, but I have never done such a thing, and I just messed it up..."
The man was crying with tears and snot, and his face looked wronged, which looked very real.
Shu He squatted down and grabbed one of his dusty wrists. The man was stunned and even forgot to cry.
Nanqi's face changed slightly, and he quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it over after Shu He let go of the man's hand.
Shu He wiped his hands and said to Meng Fang, "It is indeed not him who defiled Miss Zhang."
Meng Fang's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Princess, how did you know?"
Shu He handed the handkerchief he had used to wipe his hands to Nan Qi and explained, "I just took his pulse. He's severely weakened and has a serious lung disease. He probably can't do heavy work. Not to mention carrying a grown woman into the dense forest and escaping unscathed despite being searched by countless imperial guards."
The man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Commander, this lady is right! I, I am sick and can't lift anything heavy, let alone carry a person!"
Meng Fang ignored him and only asked Shu He, "Then, could it be that he has accomplices?"
Shu He could not give a clear answer to Meng Fang's suspicion.
"Commander Meng, I can only say that this person is incapable of sexual intercourse. As for whether he has other accomplices, I don't know."
After hearing this, Meng Fang's face changed slightly. He quickly entered the tent and informed Emperor Qiwen of the matter.
However, the words "the groom is incapable of doing anything" also made everyone present change color.
Especially Zhang Xuehan, who was sitting behind the screen, her face looked even paler.
Ming Ding's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Your Majesty, Princess Ruoli's diagnosis is correct. So, the real thief must be someone else!"
If he really wasn't his family's groom, Ming Yan's guilt would be much lighter, at least his life would be saved.
Emperor Qiwen had a cold face and undisguised disgust in his eyes.
He hated the secretive and treacherous schemes in the harem the most, and they were all done by the daughters of several of his important ministers. These noble ladies really disappointed him.
"Let Princess Li come in and talk."
After Shu He came in, he saw that in addition to a few officials in charge, the big tent was full of women.
In addition to several female relatives of the families in charge, there were also Princess Zhaoming and Concubine Ming.
According to Ziyuan, Concubine De was not at home and was probably assisting Zizhan with his studies.
"Shu He, Meng Fang just said that you found out that the groom outside is impotent? Is this confirmed?"
Shu He knelt slightly towards Emperor Qiwen and bowed, "Your Majesty, this is actually not difficult to verify. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital can also diagnose it. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can find an imperial physician to verify it."
Emperor Qiwen said in a deep voice: "Send Zhang Qiong!"
It’s not that Emperor Qiwen didn’t believe Shu He, but he was afraid that others would not believe her. Finding a highly respected imperial physician to make a diagnosis would be more convincing.
"Seventh Old Wife, you are very talented. I heard that Meng Fang and the others were able to find Chen Wan'er. Was it you who reminded them?"
"So what do you think about this?"
Shu He nodded slightly, a hint of silence flashing in his eyes.
How come this thing finally fell on her?
"Your Majesty, Shu He doesn't know much about this matter, so I dare not speak rashly."
After hearing this, Emperor Qiwen obviously felt that she was trying to shirk responsibility, and immediately said with a smile, "No problem, you can ask if you don't understand!"
"It just so happens that everyone involved in this matter is here, feel free to ask!"
Want to escape? Forget it!
Shu He was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, Shu He is not good at reasoning..."
Before she finished speaking, Emperor Qiwen said, "It's okay, just talking. Maybe it can give Wen Li and Meng Fang some ideas!"
"After all, if this rapist isn't found, people will be in a state of panic. You don't want to see anyone else get hurt, do you?"
Before Shu He could say anything, Princess Zhaoming stood up next to her.
"Royal brother, are you overestimating Shu He?"
"She only has a few medical skills and likes to play tricks, but you let her interfere in such a major matter. Isn't this abandoning the safety of us, the wives of the official family,?"
