Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 216 Anger

The letter in his hand was thrown fiercely in front of Ning Yao, "Look for yourself, what is this!" Ning Yao lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the letter in front of her. It was a letter written in beautiful small characters. The letter paper was yellowed, and it was obviously a few years old. The handwriting on it was vaguely discernible. It was Ning Yao's very familiar handwriting, her father's handwriting. The content of the letter was very simple, just a few short greetings and concerns, and the signature was "Yao'er's personal letter". Ning Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. How could she forget that when she was very young, her father had written a letter to Yun, who was still Concubine Yun at the time, expressing his concern and greetings for Concubine Yun, and hoped that Concubine Yun would be well in the palace. And how could this letter appear here? Moreover, at this juncture... Ning Yao's heart suddenly rose with an ominous premonition. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Yu, but saw that his eyes were full of ice, without a trace of warmth. "Your Majesty, this letter... this letter is fake. Someone deliberately framed me!" Ning Yao suppressed her panic and tried to calm herself down. Her favorite residence has now become a cage to imprison her. She curled up on the cold bed, her mind in a mess. She didn't understand why things turned out like this? Who sent this letter? What was the purpose? At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the door was slammed open with a "bang". A tall figure appeared at the door, bringing with him a biting cold wind and overwhelming anger, which made Ning Yao's heart sink suddenly. "Ning Yao, what else do you have to say?" The person standing at the door was Shen Yu. He stared at Ning Yao with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through her. Shen Yu's eyes were like an ice pick, piercing Ning Yao's heart fiercely. She had never seen such a cold gaze, as if he wanted to freeze her whole body. There was no trace of emotion in it, only endless coldness and judgment. "Your Majesty..." Ning Yao's voice trembled slightly. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. The appearance of this letter was too strange, as if someone had carefully planned it just to put her to death. "Enough." Shen Yu waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Ning Yao's words, "What else do you have to say? There are witnesses and evidences, what else can you quibble about?" Witnesses? Ning Yao's heart sank suddenly. She looked around and saw several figures walking in from outside the palace. The leader was the Concubine Shu who fell into the water today. She was disheveled, her hair was messy, and there were traces of tears on her face. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, so pitiful. "Your Majesty, please help me!" As soon as Concubine Shu saw Shen Yu, she fell to his feet and cried, choking with sobs, "I was taking a walk in the Imperial Garden today, but I didn't expect the Empress to suddenly appear. Without saying a word, she pushed me into the water. If the guards hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid..." "You're talking nonsense!" Ning Yao was furious. This Concubine Shu was clearly confusing right and wrong and slandering her! She hadn't been to the Imperial Garden today, so how could she be pushed into the water for no reason? "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If I told even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning!" Concubine Shu said, and actually raised her hand, pretending to swear. "Enough!" Shen Yu scolded impatiently, "I believe that Concubine Shu would not lie. Ning Yao's mind was in a mess. The memories of this body and the experiences of the previous life were intertwined, giving her a splitting headache. Concubine Shu's words were still echoing in her ears, and every word was like a needle, piercing her heart fiercely. "What's wrong with my sister?" Concubine Shu covered her mouth, but the smile in her eyes could not be concealed, "Did you do something wrong and are afraid?" "I dare not." Ning Yao took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She didn't know who sent this letter, but the purpose was obvious, which was to provoke the relationship between her and Shen Yu. She raised her head and met Shen Yu's cold gaze, and her heart ached. Once, that was the temperature she loved the most, but now it has become the sharpest blade, ruthlessly torturing her. "Your Majesty," Ning Yao's voice trembled slightly, "I was wronged, this letter..." "Wronged?" Shen Yu sneered and threw the letter in front of her, "General Ning's handwriting, do you dare to say you can't recognize it?" Ning Yao looked down at the letter on the ground, which was written by General Ning, so powerful that it seemed to be engraved in her heart. "This..." Ning Yao's face turned pale in an instant. She couldn't explain that the content of the letter was completely inconsistent with her memory, but it was really General Ning's handwriting. Could it be that something happened when she didn't know about it that she didn't know about it? "What? Nothing to say?" Shen Yu pressed on step by step, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "Ning Yao, I thought I knew you well enough, but I didn't expect that you were such a scheming woman!" "No, Your Majesty, listen to my explanation..." Ning Yao wanted to grab Shen Yu's hand, but he dodged it without a trace. "Enough!" Shen Yu shook off her hand, his tone icy and piercing, "I don't want to hear your excuses anymore! Come, confine Concubine Ning to Fengyi Palace. No one is allowed to visit without my order!" "Your Majesty!" Ning Yao looked at him in disbelief, "Are you really going to imprison me like this for a trumped-up charge?" Shen Yu didn't say anything, but just looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. He turned and left, his back was resolute and ruthless, as if there had never been any friendship between them. Ning Yao looked at his back in despair, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. She knew that this time, she really lost him and the last glimmer of hope. The gate of Fengyi Palace slowly closed, imprisoning Ning Yao in this magnificent cage. She collapsed on the ground powerlessly, tears blurring her vision.
