Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Bo Muxi returned to Changdeok Palace, but the more he thought about it, the funnier it became. He shook his head and said, "What kind of temper does this little concubine have?"

Of course, he didn't really blame Shen Zhiyao, otherwise the punishment would not be so light. This was not leniency, but rather leniency towards the sea.

"Empress Jin Wanyi is also a straightforward person, very special!" Lin En echoed.

"Now it seems that she has a strong personality, but it also depends on whether she can keep her composure and stop going with the flow." Bo Muxi said calmly.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Lin En replied.

He knew in his heart that the emperor was thinking of a princess from his time in the Fourth Prince's Palace.

When the princess first entered the palace, she was also very fierce, but not long after, she got involved with Concubine Zhao.

Since he surrendered to Concubine Zhao, this man became more and more smooth-talking and did a lot for Concubine Zhao. However, he was eventually sent to Cheng'en Temple because he took the blame, and became a monk for the rest of his life.

However, Lin En is very optimistic about Shen Zhiyao. This concubine is indeed a wise woman, and no one else can compare to her.

"Lin'en, is there any new progress at the Ministry of Punishment?" Bo Muxi asked dissatisfiedly.

It was just an interrogation of a eunuch, but the Ministry of Punishment dragged on for so long without giving an answer.

"Your Majesty, I have been following this matter. Chang Ning was not involved in this matter, but she was indeed punished with a stick by Concubine Zhao, and she did complain to Zhizhou several times." Lin En answered carefully.

"Well, where is the eunuch who jumped into the lake?" Bo Muxi asked again.

"I have checked it myself and also told Zhizhou that everything matches."

Seeing the emperor's displeasure, Lin En hurriedly said, "I have personally watched the Ministry of Punishment and tortured Zhizhou several times, but he still refused to give in! However, I have already checked and found that the red blood was smuggled in from outside the palace by Zhizhou and has nothing to do with the Imperial Medical Bureau."

This is also what Bo Muxi is most concerned about. If someone from the Imperial Medical Bureau is involved in this matter, he must be caught and severely punished, otherwise something big will happen in the harem!

"Humph, I hate this kind of blind and stubborn person the most!" Bo Muxi frowned.

"Have you found any evidence that can point to Concubine Zhao?" Bo Muxi asked again.

"To answer Your Majesty's question, not yet. However, I estimate that this must be the work of Concubine Zhao. It's just that she has already controlled Zhizhou tightly enough, and that servant just refuses to confess." Lin En said with his head down.

"Since you refuse to confess, there is no need to torture you further." Bo Muxi said coldly.

Lin En responded, feeling very surprised.

Bo Muxi snorted again and thought to himself, "I think my mother will be made to cry by her stupid niece this time!"

In fact, it was not that Bo Muxi could not tolerate Concubine Zhao, but this woman was stupid, vicious, and extremely tactless. How could he tolerate her?

Bo Muxi first remembered that when Shen Zhiyao was poisoned, he had refused to let him into Cuiweixuan because of his own considerations.

He couldn't help but think that because of Queen Mother Zhao's actions, he insisted on recalling Shen Li, which led to the defeat and humiliation of Zhao State.

Bo Muxi is a perfectionist, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Since he is so tough, just beat him to death! Together with Chang Ning." Bo Muxi smiled grimly and said through gritted teeth.

Lin En was stunned when he heard this. The emperor always claimed to be kind and benevolent, but this time he was really cruel!

"Your Majesty, Chang Ning had no involvement and was not even aware of the incident, so should he be beaten to death?" Lin En asked bravely.

Bo Muxi glanced at him and said coldly: "Being a tool also requires a price to be paid!"

Lin En nodded quickly and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Also, Zhizhou murdered the royal concubines and his family members, all of whom were beheaded in the street. As for Chang Ning, I consider her crime minor and exile all of her family members to Ningguta to be slaves of the armored men."

Bo Muxi looked at Lin En, his eyes as cold as an icy lake in the severe winter.

Lin En was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are the underage children of Zhizhou also to be beheaded?"

Bo Muxi thought for a moment and said, "Those under eight years old can be kept alive and sent to the homes of people living in the frontier fortresses!"

After Lin En responded, he went out to do his work according to the emperor's order.

In the Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhao was twirling her Buddhist beads while listening to Nanny Wang's report.

When she heard the end, she was so angry that she laughed: "This Jin Wanyi is really good at winning by surprise!"

After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Miss Qi is no longer useful. Give Yu Han a message and throw her away!"

"Yes, master. I will go to Yuquan Palace myself later." said Nanny Wang.

"Have you settled the affairs of Zhizhou? We can't let him get involved in any more matters." Queen Mother Zhao asked coldly.

"Master, rest assured. After my threats and inducements, Zhizhou will naturally not say a word. But..." Nanny Wang said worriedly.

"But what?" Queen Mother Zhao asked with a raised eyebrow.

“However, I may be forced to grant him some empty wishes… To ensure that everything goes well, I need to use some ruthless measures…” Nanny Wang bowed and replied.

"Humph, you've been with me for so long, why do you still ask me about this? I only care about the results. As for that ant-like servant, since he didn't do the job well, he doesn't deserve any sympathy. You can do whatever you want!"

Queen Mother Zhao glanced at Nanny Wang and said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, I was worrying too much." Nanny Wang was shocked and worried that the Queen Mother would look down on her, so she hurriedly explained.

"You... you are getting older, so you may be more indecisive sometimes. However, in the current situation, you must avoid being too soft-hearted. When you need to be ruthless, you must not show mercy!" Queen Mother Zhao warned.

"Yes, I will remember the master's teachings."

Nanny Wang didn't dare to say much. Although she had been with the empress dowager the longest, she felt that the longer she served, the less she understood Empress Dowager Zhao.

Recently, she has even begun to feel fearful about this; the cruelty of Queen Mother Zhao often frightens her.

At noon the next day, Zhizhou and Chang Ning were taken by the Ministry of Punishment to the execution ground behind the imperial palace and beaten to death.

The emperor issued an edict that all the palace maids and eunuchs must watch the execution as a warning to others.

All concubines in the palace below the rank of second-rank concubine, except those who were pregnant, had to go and watch the ceremony.

Zhizhou was the eunuch who was close confidant of Concubine Zhao, but he was beaten to death in public. The Yuquan Palace suffered a heavy blow this time.

When Zhizhou and Chang Ning were dragged to the execution ground, they looked so miserable that they were no longer human.

In just over a month, these two people had been subjected to all kinds of torture. Death was a relief for them.

When Zhizhou was dragged out of the Ministry of Punishment, he was given "special care" by Nanny Wang. He was given poison, and his tongue and throat were swollen and rotten. He could no longer speak...

He stared at Dai Tao with some resentment, hoping that Concubine Zhao would do her best to protect his family as agreed, so that the suffering he had endured would not be in vain!

Dai Tao was frightened by her stare and had to avoid his gaze continuously. How should she face such hopeful eyes?

There are almost no survivors in Zhizhou’s home!

Following Lin En's order, the eunuchs from the Ministry of Punishment began to carry out the execution...
