Chapter 641: The identity of the rapist, Ming Guifei's lotus seed soup
Shu He glanced at Liu Qin, who was standing next to the emperor, and said, "Maybe we need Eunuch Liu's help."
The emperor nodded and immediately asked Liu Qin to follow Shu He's orders.
Under Shu He's instructions, everyone moved outside the tent.
Under the supervision of the Imperial Guards, rows of people dressed in eunuch costumes stood in the open space in front of the tent.
The lights and burning torches made the place as bright as day.
Almost all the eunuchs in the palace were pulled over and stood in the entire square.
Emperor Qiwen sat at the door of the big tent, two palace maids fanning him, and Concubine Ming sat next to him, looking a little uninterested.
"Your Majesty, what exactly does Shu He want to do? Why did he summon all the eunuchs?"
"She can't possibly think that the person who defiled Miss Zhang was a eunuch, right?"
The emperor didn't say anything. Although he had doubts in his heart, subconsciously, he seemed to believe Shu He.
The commotion here was so loud that it attracted many officials who came to watch the excitement. However, because the emperor was present, those people did not dare to approach and could only watch from a distance.
When almost everyone had arrived, Shu He stepped forward and said, "Everyone, take off your shirts and expose your left shoulder!"
After hearing this, the eunuchs looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether they should take off their clothes.
Seeing this, Liu Qin shouted coldly, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Princess Li said?"
Liu Qin is the chief eunuch. In a sense, his words are the emperor's will. Who dares not to listen?
As soon as he finished speaking, all the eunuchs took off their shirts neatly.
Shu He gave a look to Nan Qi and Meng Fang, and immediately, more than a dozen guards walked behind each row of young eunuchs to check.
Shu He stood at the front, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Officials of lower ranks and their families stood on the periphery, while those who knew each other gathered together to discuss.
"I heard that the Emperor has entrusted the search for the rapist to Princess Li! This should be the Princess searching for the thief, right?"
Another lady nearby sneered, "The search for the rapist ended up with a eunuch! Could it be that the princess doesn't know that eunuchs are incapable of doing such a thing?"
After hearing this, everyone around laughed softly.
"found it!"
A guard in the crowd shouted, and Shu He immediately walked towards the guard.
He was a big eunuch who was bent over, with his head lowered and his body trembling slightly. Shu He thought he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
His back was covered with scratches, and although they had scabs over, the marks had not faded.
Liu Qin followed and saw the eunuch's face, his expression changed slightly. After confirming that it was this person, he immediately dismissed the other eunuchs and brought the person Shu He had found before the emperor.
There was a hint of surprise on Concubine Ming's face, and she obviously didn't expect Shu He to really find this person.
Then, she saw who was coming, and the surprise on her face suddenly turned into shock.
"Wang Ai?!"
The eunuch who was brought in heard her voice and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Emperor Qiwen knew Liu Xi and Wang Ai, who was the chief eunuch in Ming Fei's palace. Could it be that he was the one who defiled Zhang Xuehan?
But isn't he a eunuch?
His face was as cold as frost as he asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Ai's clothes were disheveled, he kept kowtowing on the ground, and he couldn't speak at all.
Shu He finally remembered this eunuch. When she was still "Liu Ruxin", Baili Moqing brought her into the palace to treat Concubine Qing. At that time, they encountered Wang Ai who wanted to kill Shui Lingzhang. It was Baili Moqing who saved the little palace maid.
Seeing this, Shu He stepped forward to explain to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this eunuch is the one who insulted Miss Zhang..."
Before Shu He could finish his words, he heard Concubine Ming exclaim in shock and anger, "Impossible! He's a eunuch, how could he do such a thing?!"
Wang Ai lay on the ground, with beads of sweat as big as beans wetting the red carpet.
Seeing that he had no intention of admitting his guilt, Shu He said, "Actually, Miss Zhang didn't really lose her virginity."
"What?!" Zhang Pu's eyes widened, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in his eyes that were originally full of anger.
Didn't lose her virginity? Does that mean Wan'er's reputation can still be preserved?
However, what Shu He said next completely shattered the fantasy he had just formed.
"Just now, I asked Miss Zhang, and she said that although she couldn't see the thief's face clearly, she scratched his shoulder when she resisted. Your Majesty, the marks on Wang Ai's body match Miss Zhang's statement."
"Also, I checked Miss Zhang's pulse and her yin pulse was intact, which means she is not a virgin."
"I also asked about the details of what happened that night. Because Miss Zhang is still single, she doesn't know what real sex is like, which is why she feels defiled."
When Mingyan's mother heard this, she felt a mixture of emotions and reluctance. She subconsciously asked, "But what are the marks on her body..."
When she was found, her body was covered with bite marks and red marks. It was hard to believe that they were not the signs of lovemaking.
Shu He also explained this, "I just took Eunuch Wang's pulse and found some traces of aphrodisiac residue in his body."
"I think Eunuch Wang must have taken some kind of aphrodisiac, causing him to burn with lust. Because he's a eunuch, he can't release it, so he became violent, and that's why he was so rough with Miss Zhang."
To put it simply, except for losing their virginity, Zhang Xuehan and Wang Ai should have done everything.
There is one thing Shu He finds very interesting. The aphrodisiac in Wang Ai is somewhat similar to the aphrodisiac in Lao Jiu's Shanghe Mansion!
Mrs. Zhang almost fainted when she heard this.
This, this is more shameful than being abused by others!
With their innocence ruined by the eunuchs, how could the Zhang family still face the world? How could Zhang Xuehan still live in this world?!
Zhang Pu couldn't accept it and was in a daze. "No, this is impossible. This can't be the case!!"
The grief of the Zhang family did not cause Shu He to have much emotional fluctuation, because there was one thing she did not understand.
"Wang Ai, you are a eunuch, but why do you take aphrodisiacs?"
If he took it voluntarily, didn't he know that eunuchs who took that kind of aphrodisiac would most likely explode and die?
Wang Ai cried out that he was wronged.
"Your Majesty, you are very perceptive! This servant, this servant, drank the lotus seed soup you gave him as a reward, and that's why this happened!"
