Chapter 381: Things Have Changed
Xiao Juan reported Shen Rui's death to the old emperor.
The old emperor felt as if he had been struck by lightning and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot! Finally, his eyes closed and he fainted.
This frightened everyone.
Even Empress Dowager Deng was alarmed and rushed to the bedroom to see the emperor.
After the emergency rescue of the Imperial Physicians, the old emperor quickly woke up from his coma.
But he still looked terrible and spoke weakly.
"Rui'er is... he's really dead?"
Xiao Juan answered truthfully, "Yes, the Sixth Prince's corpse has been sent to the Justice Department for further autopsy. Your Majesty, my condolences." Among all the princes, the old emperor liked Shen Rui the most.
He even had the thought of making Shen Rui the Crown Prince.
Even though he was extremely disappointed in Shen Rui later, he had never thought of really taking his life.
After all, he was his flesh and blood and he had high hopes for him. How could he be ruthless enough to kill Shen Rui?
He originally wanted to lock Shen Rui up for a while and let him suffer.
If Shen Rui could sincerely repent, he would allocate a remote fief to Shen Rui so that he could live the rest of his life in peace. Unexpectedly, Shen Rui died just like that!
Empress Dowager Deng felt terrible.
She wiped her tears and asked.
"How exactly did Rui'er die?"
Xiao Juan said, "Based on the current evidence, the Sixth Prince should have hanged himself. There's also a will of his here. Please take a look at it, Your
Majesty and the Empress Dowager."
He pulled a letter from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.
Wei Huai'en stepped forward to take the letter and forward it to the emperor.
However, the vision of the old emperor and Empress Dowager Deng was not very good. It was very difficult for the two of them to read the letter. In the end, Wei Huai'en could only help read the contents of the letter.
When the old emperor heard this, he was both angry and sad.
"If he had realized his mistake earlier, he wouldn't have come to this point!"
Empress Dowager Deng did not expect the usually obedient imperial grandson to do so many bad things in private.
She also felt that Shen Rui was too stupid. He gave up his bright future and actually asked the Ninth Prince of the Chen Nation for help.
However, he was already dead. Empress Dowager Deng could not say anything else about him. In the end, she could only say, "Rui'er is Noble Consort Shu's only child. We have to inform her about this."
The old emperor seemed to think of something and his expression changed.
He called Wei Huai'en to him and whispered instructions. Wei Huai'en's expression did not change when he heard this.
"I'll do it now."
With that, he left.
Soon, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince arrived.
