Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

After Chunxi applied medicine to Shen Ruoyan, she went out.

The imperial physician was still watching over Lu Jing, and it was unclear whether the people in the mansion were serving him wholeheartedly.

As Shen Ruoyan's personal maid, she often had to personally monitor these tasks in order to feel at ease.

Qiu Ye was sent out to work, so Chun Xi's burden became even heavier.

"See Master."

A dark figure came in from the window and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Ruoyan. Shen Ruoyan didn't care about this inappropriate way of greeting.

People in the underworld have never been particular about trivial matters.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

The assassins really existed, and they were not arranged by Shen Ruoyan. But the fact that they were able to carry out the assassination so smoothly was due to Shen Ruoyan's efforts.

Her people mixed in with the assassins in the chaos and pretended to assassinate the Queen Mother. This is how she sacrificed herself for justice!

Zhuang Mi is a meticulous and cautious person. If you want to get close to her, ordinary means will not work.

Nothing can compare to the grace of saving a life. The truth is revealed in the moment of life and death. Whether it is true or false, no one will joke about his own life!

So she rushed out at that time, not to make Zhuang Mi grateful to her - with that woman's character, even if she really died saving the emperor, she would just think it was natural and would not shed a single tear.

But if I can risk my life for her, then in her eyes, I become one of her own.

Our own people are the ones who can be used.

Shen Ruoyan thought of countless ways to return to the palace, getting close to the prince's concubine or the princess, and all kinds of paths. But in the end, she chose the most risky way.

The situation on Mengsu's side is unclear. After suffering this blow, no one knows when he will fight back next time.

Only a fool would believe that they would really coexist peacefully with Dasheng!

Therefore, she does not have so much time to proceed step by step. Shen Ruoyan does not know how long God will give her the chance to start over, so she must cherish every opportunity to accomplish what she wants to do!

Outside, she is the wife of the Marquis of Changning and is responsible for managing the mansion.

But internally, she was the new person in power who took over the power of the late Queen Mother. She only appeared in the dark night and was extremely mysterious!

"My lord, the assassin has been caught and is currently being interrogated. Do you need our help?" This group of assassins came for the real purpose of assassinating the emperor.

There was a severe flood in the south, and tens of thousands of people were displaced and the whole country was in mourning.

The relief grain from the imperial court was exploited at every level. When it reached the hands of the people in the south, only moldy old rice was left!

The local county magistrate Li Qingzheng opened the granary to release grain, and was imprisoned and tortured by the prefect. However, he still risked his life and wrote a blood letter, which listed the names of officials involved in the corruption case and sent it to Shengjing with all his strength.

"The flood has receded, and the people have been compensated. Why are we pursuing these issues?"

"I am busy with all kinds of things every day, don't bother me with these little things!"

At that time, the empress dowager had just passed away. In order to eliminate the empress dowager's power without causing criticism from others, the emperor was indeed very busy every day.

So when the blood letter was delivered to him, he gave up the idea of ​​dealing with it when he saw that there were several names on it who were from the imperial concubine's side.

The Queen is of orthodox birth, and like the Queen Mother before, she has the support of an aristocratic family, which is very troublesome!

He favored the Imperial Concubine on purpose so that she could compete with the Queen in the harem. In the previous dynasty, the Queen's mother's family and the Imperial Concubine's mother's family also disliked each other because of the fight between the two in the palace.

If we check according to the list written in blood, the imperial concubine will surely be seriously injured.

This is something the emperor doesn't want to see.

As for the county magistrate, he was indeed a bit inflexible.

Since things have been settled, why bother pursuing it?

So he suppressed the matter, so that later the county magistrate was pushed out to take the blame and beheaded in the street - it is said that the blood splattered three feet high, and the people's cries were louder than the city walls, almost causing a riot!

In the end, the prefect asked for help from his superiors and sent soldiers to suppress the riot, which finally put the public grievances under control.

"Li Qingzheng didn't deserve to die, but he died so tragically. You don't have to help him. They came here this time to make this matter known to the world. How can we get the truth without a thorough investigation?"

I just don't know what choice the Dali Temple Minister will make after learning the truth of the matter.

The emperor is cruel and invites people to assassinate him!

Whether to keep this reason secret or report it all depends on the decision of the Dali Temple Minister.

"My lord, the assassin has confessed."

The subordinate presented the assassin's confession, but his expression did not show any joy.

This time, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation to uncover the mastermind behind these assassinations, otherwise, they will be beheaded!

So this time the Dali Temple put in a lot of effort, using all kinds of torture, including severe torture and physical and mental torture, and finally made the assassins confess.

However, the truth they got gave them even more headaches.

"All the assassins were killed. There was no mastermind behind them. They were all civilians who had received favors from Li Qingzheng in the past. Because the emperor was unkind and could not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, causing Li Qingzheng's tragic death, they wanted to assassinate the emperor to avenge Li Qingzheng."

"How dare you!" The Dali Temple official slammed the table and stood up. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to die?!"

The subordinate was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knelt on the ground and quickly explained: "Your Excellency, please understand! These are all written in the confessions of those desperate assassins. I didn't make them up!"

When he saw it, he wanted to stuff the confession back!

However, after those assassins wrote their confessions, they refused to budge and nothing else worked!

If you want them to change their confession, I'm afraid even killing them won't do the trick...

The Dali Temple Chief was overwhelmed. Why did he have to encounter this case?

He was the one who handled Li Qingzheng's case. Even the blood letter was sent by him.

However, not only did the emperor not deal with it, he even thought that the blood letter was unlucky. He only glanced at it and then had it thrown away.

That time, he thought he was going to be taken out on and lose his hat!

Unexpectedly, he managed to avoid the first day, but he still couldn't avoid the fifteenth day. After going around in circles, the three words "Li Qingzheng" finally appeared in front of him.

If this confession is submitted to the emperor, he will surely be furious!

Moreover, they will try every means to suppress the matter, and anyone who knows the truth behind this matter will not have a good ending.

No emperor wants to be held hostage in the hands of others.

No matter how loyal the minister is to him, it won't work.

But if it is not submitted, the assassin must have a reason to carry out the assassination.

In broad daylight, do I have to fabricate an identity for them out of thin air?

When the Dali Temple Minister went out, he looked as if he had suddenly aged several years.

He staggered, with the slowly setting sun behind him, stretching his shadow very long.

It’s like the answer in my heart, I can’t see the end and I can’t find the direction.
