The lucky man is the one who has no offspring, and the pregnant waist is spoiled like crazy

Jiang Zheng admired Concubine Ming's ever-changing expression seriously.

Interesting!

When Doctor Liu was brought in, he was covered in dirt and looked like a refugee who had escaped from a famine-stricken area.

"What is this?" Shen Ziming asked.

Pingchuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial Hospital to fetch him. The people at the Imperial Hospital said that Doctor Liu had been sick and at home since yesterday. I went to his house to ask, but no one had seen Doctor Liu return home. After several rounds of searching, I found the destitute Doctor Liu in a dilapidated temple outside the city and brought him back."

"Why does Doctor Liu look so miserable? It's as if he's being chased by someone?" Jiang Zheng said quietly as she sat on the edge of the bed.

She turned her eyes and glanced at Concubine Ming not far away, and suddenly smiled.

In the eyes of Concubine Ming, this smile was a clear provocation.

Su Bin is such a waste!

She was so slow in getting rid of someone, and finally the incident was brought before His Majesty!

So useless!

There were several wounds on Doctor Liu's exposed arms, and he really looked like he was being chased.

"Doctor Liu, I want to ask you, who told you to poison Jiang Zheng's tonic?"

Shen Ziming didn't care whether Doctor Liu was being hunted or seriously injured. He just wanted to know who instructed Doctor Liu to poison Jiang Zheng.

Doctor Liu looked flustered, as if he had just escaped from a butcher's knife and was still in shock. He looked up and glanced at the doctor, then quickly lowered his head.

Concubine Ming shook the hand holding the tea slightly and gave a wink to Muchun who was standing beside her. Seeing this, Muchun quietly retreated.

"That person wants to kill you to silence you, do you still want to protect her? If you don't say anything today and leave this door, how many times do you think you can escape the assassination?" Jiang Zheng coaxed.

The corners of Shen Ziming's lips curled up slightly and he looked at Jiang Zheng with appreciation.

Jiang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly as a response.

The two of them exchanged glances as if they were alone, and Concubine Ming, who was standing beside them, almost bit her teeth off.

Doctor Liu seemed to relax a little, panting twice, and suddenly said, "Yes...it was Concubine Su who asked me to do this! Concubine Su wanted the Princess of Nanyue to completely fall out of favor with Your Majesty, so she asked me to put a heavy dose of poison in the tonic. She said that she would give me a hundred taels of gold after the success, but I was assassinated as soon as I left the Imperial Hospital. I confessed everything, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Concubine Ming suddenly closed her eyes.

I can't keep it!

"Concubine Su." Shen Ziming's face was covered with a layer of ice, and then he sneered twice, "I didn't know that the concubines in the harem had such abilities."

Pingchuan summoned Concubine Su to Qianzheng Hall. Before Concubine Su could even open her mouth, a book flew towards her and hit her hard in the face!

It turned out that Shen Ziming just pulled the book from the bedside and threw it over.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I will never dare to do it again!"

Strangely, Su Bin did not make any excuses, but quickly admitted all the crimes.

Jiang Zheng glanced behind Concubine Ming, and sure enough, the palace maid named Muchun had disappeared.

[Is Concubine Su so loyal to Concubine Ming? This is a capital crime. ]

"She is not that loyal, it's just because some things are more important than her life. For example, her father, and the career of the entire Su family."

"You recognized her very straightforwardly." Shen Ziming looked calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he believed Su Bin's lies or not.

"I know I have sinned deeply, and I dare not beg for forgiveness from Your Majesty. But this matter was caused by me, and I am responsible for my own actions. I just hope Your Majesty will not implicate my father. It is all my fault. I was jealous of the beauty of the Princess of Nanyue, so I had the evil intention of getting rid of the princess, but I didn't expect to hurt Your Majesty by mistake. I am willing to take full responsibility, and Your Majesty, please...grant me death!"

Since Shen Ziming didn't say anything, no one dared to respond to Concubine Su's words. For a moment, the Qianzheng Hall was extremely quiet.

"Have you seen Jiang Zheng's face?" Shen Ziming suddenly asked.

Concubine Ming frowned, a little suspicious, and thought to herself, "What does your majesty mean? Is there something special about Jiang Zheng's appearance?"

Supin thought for a moment and said, "I saw him once when I entered the palace."

Shen Ziming's expression suddenly turned cold, and he ordered sternly: "Pingchuan, drag Imperial Physician Liu away, pull out his tendons and skin him, chop off his head and hang it at the Meridian Gate for public display! Concubine Su, demote her to a commoner, and execute her by slow slicing!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

He slowly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Zheng's face hidden by her veil. His heart was filled with rage and he wished he could execute that bitch Su Bin with his own hands.

"Pingchuan, you will personally supervise the execution. 3375 cuts. Not one less cut will allow her to die. Do you understand?"

Pingchuan couldn't help but shudder a little, "I understand."

Shen Ziming got angry and wanted to make Concubine Su live a life worse than death.

Concubine Su was dragged down like a puddle of mud. Before leaving, she glanced expectantly at Concubine Ming who was sitting in front of her. The meaning was self-evident.

Although Shen Ziming had been detoxified, he was still a little exhausted. Looking at the people in the room made him even more annoyed. He asked the imperial physician to prescribe an antidote for Jiang Zheng and told everyone to leave.

Concubine Ming slowly stood up and said with a smile: "I was anxious just now and almost wronged the princess. I hope the princess will not be offended."

Jiang Zheng practiced Tai Chi with Concubine Ming with an understanding look, "You are joking, Your Majesty. But if you are too angry, why not drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down?"

Concubine Ming's smile froze. "I know my own health, so Your Highness, please don't worry about it."

Jiang Zheng smiled, lowered her brows and looked submissive, without uttering a single glance.

"Well, if you have nothing else to do, please return to the Pearl Palace."

Concubine Ming paused, glanced at Jiang Zheng who was as still as a mountain, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Nanyue has already come to sleep with you. I wonder what position Your Majesty wants to give her and where she will live? I will go and make some preparations."

Shen Ziming glanced at it and said, "No hurry, Jiang Zheng can just stay in Qianzheng Palace first."

"Qianzheng Palace?" Concubine Ming almost couldn't control her voice, which was a little shrill. "This...it's against the rules for the princess to live in Qianzheng Palace."

Apart from the emperor, the only person who could live in the Qianzheng Hall was the empress, who could occasionally stay overnight.

Your Majesty, do you want to make Jiang Zheng the queen?

Isn't the candidate for the throne that Your Majesty is thinking of the missing one?

Shen Ziming glanced at Concubine Ming calmly, "Only temporarily."

Before Concubine Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Ziming spoke again.

"Pingchuan is already cleaning up the Zichen Palace in the back. Let Jiang Zheng move in once it's done." Shen Ziming turned his head and met Jiang Zheng's dumbfounded gaze. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "As for her position, we'll follow precedent and make her the Empress."

"Empress Chen?" Concubine Ming almost lost her balance and looked at Jiang Zheng beside her in disbelief.

Chen, noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous.

Concubine Chen was the head of all concubines, second only to the Empress, and higher than Concubine Ming.

"Your Majesty, if you suddenly confer the title of Chen Fei on her, I'm afraid it's against etiquette, and both the former and the harem will have objections." Ming Guifei quickly recovered as usual, and said, "Why not confer her the title of concubine first, and then confer her an honor and reward when she has children or has made great contributions in the future, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
