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

Jiang Zheng woke up slowly, and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw Shen Ziming, who looked worried.

"A Ming."

Shen Ziming was startled by the faint call and woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly said, "A Zheng, you are finally awake. Are you feeling unwell?"

Although the imperial physician said that the patient would wake up soon after the poisonous blood was released, Shen Ziming still waited for four hours, until the sky turned pale, and Jiang Zheng finally woke up slowly.

"Baby?" Jiang Zheng was helped to sit up, leaning on the soft pillow behind her, touching her belly, her expression full of panic, "Is the baby okay?"

Shen Ziming placed his hand on Jiang Zheng's and whispered, "Don't worry, the child is fine. This kid is really tough."

Even the imperial physician said that the poison was extremely dangerous, but this kid was in a daze and was fine.

Jiang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as the child is okay. If anything happens, I..."

Jiang Zheng couldn't continue speaking and sobbed quietly in Shen Ziming's arms.

Shen Ziming felt his heart break. "A Zheng, don't be afraid. I won't let this happen again."

"Who wants to harm me?" Jiang Zheng asked.

Shen Ziming's eyes gradually turned cold, and his gaze was filled with a thousand-mile icy coldness. "It's Concubine Ming. I have asked Pingchuan to detain Concubine Ming and the entire Ming family. You can deal with them when you wake up."

Concubine Ming was accused of murdering the royal heir, and her entire family was implicated.

The Concubine Ming, who was so bright and charming at the state banquet, now looked like a mad woman with disheveled hair.

Shen Ziming helped the weak Jiang Zheng sit on the soft couch and said, "There are witnesses and evidences. What else can the imperial concubine say?"

During the four hours that Jiang Zheng was comatose, Shen Ziming had already found out everything.

After examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that the scent on Concubine Ming's clothes was indeed from purple pothos, and residual powder of purple pothos was also found on the concubine's fingertips. When Pingchuan led his men to search the palace, they also found unused purple pothos spices in the room of Concubine Ming's close maid, Muchun!

"Your Majesty! I was really wronged! I didn't mean to harm the Queen!" Concubine Ming really wanted to kill Jiang Zheng and the dragon fetus, but she didn't have time to do it. Jiang Zheng's murder really had nothing to do with her.

"Unfair?" Shen Ziming snorted coldly. A letter and a box of jewels were thrown in front of Concubine Ming. "You keep saying that you didn't harm A Zheng, but what is this?"

When Concubine Ming and Prime Minister Ming saw the familiar letter, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were numb and did not react for a long time.

Shen Ziming glanced at the Third Prince who stood aside without making any expression, then turned around and said angrily, "You are really my good concubine and prime minister! You actually contacted envoys from other countries in private and tried to frame the queen! Is this what you call innocence?"

There was a precedent of court officials in Tianqi collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country, so the national law clearly stated: officials are not allowed to make friends with ministers of other countries without permission!

Prime Minister Ming's move touched Shen Ziming's sore spot!

Prime Minister Ming understood everything the moment he saw the letter.

He was fooled by the third prince of Nanyue.

The man pretended to accept the gift and said he would help them get rid of Jiang Zheng, but in fact he sold them out.

I just don’t know...is this Jiang Zheng’s work?

Jiang Zheng's expression remained unchanged. She just glanced at Concubine Ming indifferently. This glance was full of profound meaning and irritated Concubine Ming, who had been nervous in recent days.

Concubine Ming suddenly screamed, "Bitch! It's you! You're the one who murdered me! You knew everything from the beginning to the end, your face, the mysterious woman, you knew everything! You've been playing tricks on me!"

Shen Ziming was confused, "What mysterious woman?"

Jiang Zheng was waiting for this sentence. She smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that one day when I went to the Imperial Garden, I ran into the Imperial Concubine. Before leaving, the Imperial Concubine suddenly told me to pay more attention to the mysterious woman who appeared in the side hall of Qianzheng Palace."

Jiang Zheng deliberately prolonged her voice, slowly savoring Concubine Ming's expression as it changed from fear to dejection.

Concubine Ming, how does it feel to suffer the consequences of your own actions?

"Where did this mysterious woman come from? Isn't she just..." Shen Ziming stopped talking halfway, and his expression changed drastically in an instant. He turned his head and squinted his eyes and asked sinisterly: "The imperial concubine... has planted a spy around me?"

Concubine Ming quickly said, "Your Majesty! I don't have it!"

"Then how did you know that there was someone in the side hall of Qianzheng Palace?" Shen Ziming was not a fool. He realized something was wrong after a little thought. "There were only Pingchuan and a few palace maids from Qianzheng Palace at the door. How did you know that?"

Pingchuan had received Jiang Zheng's order long ago, and now he rushed to report, "Your Majesty, the traitorous old slave has been caught. We have also checked the records and found that he had close ties with the Pearl Palace. He confessed everything under torture."

Shen Ziming sneered, "What did you do?"

Pingchuan bowed his head and reported: "The maid said that the Empress was poisoned and her appearance was damaged. It was actually Concubine Ming who acquiesced. The bowl of medicine brought to Qianzheng Hall was also ordered by Concubine Ming to increase the dosage. After that, many news about Qianzheng Hall was leaked to Mingzhu Palace by this person. I have checked it all and it all matches. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

Shen Ziming lowered his eyelids and looked at Concubine Ming coldly, "At this point, Concubine, what else do you have to refute?"

Concubine Ming collapsed on the ground, she knew that her situation was hopeless.

Shen Ziming hated it most when others planted spies, and Concubine Ming had committed a big taboo.

"Imperial Concubine Ming poisoned the Empress, murdered the heir to the throne, deceived her superiors and subordinates, and was demoted to a commoner and ordered to commit suicide."

"Prime Minister Ming has contacted the envoys and plotted something bad. He is dismissed from his post and demoted to the ninth rank of county magistrate. He must take the entire Ming family with him to take up the post immediately and is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree!"

"As for that palace maid, pull out her tendons, peel off her skin, and hang her at the Meridian Gate for public display!"

Although Shen Ziming did not kill Prime Minister Ming, he demoted him from the first rank to the lowest ninth rank, and used this opportunity to force the entire Ming family to move out of the imperial city, thus cutting off their roots in the imperial city.

From now on, Shen Ziming will face less resistance in the court.

A group of people were dragged away noisily, and the Third Prince planned to leave upon seeing this.

"Is Third Brother going back to South Vietnam?" Jiang Zheng remembered that Shen Ziming had told her that the envoys would leave after the state banquet.

The third prince smiled and said, "I am leaving now. Do you have anything to say to me?"

"Why don't you stay a few more days?" Jiang Zheng hadn't seen anyone from her motherland for a long time. The Third Prince was one of her closest family members, but now they had to say goodbye after only two days.

"I should go back after being out for so long. If I don't go back... who will perform the Crown Prince Ceremony?" The Third Prince originally came to see how his sister was doing. Now that he saw that she was deeply loved and pregnant with the royal heir, and the biggest obstacle had been removed, he was even more relieved.

"Crown Prince Ceremony?" Jiang Zheng was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, she showed joy, "Third brother has become the crown prince of South Vietnam?"
