Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

"I need to check on Concubine Kang's diet in recent days."

In the palace, the food used by the master must be kept for three days before being disposed of. This is to prevent someone from tampering with the food and failing to find the source of the trouble.

Caiju bowed and said, "Please come here, sir."

A quarter of an hour later, the two returned to the inner room.

Tang Luochuan has confirmed his guess: "Replying to the two young ladies, the meals delivered to Shangxiang Palace in the past few days have not been tampered with. Every dish looks fine, and they are all suitable for nourishing after miscarriage. But in every meal, there are two foods that counteract each other, and eating them at the same time will harm the body!"

"Mrs. Kang has been feeling weak and tired lately, and that's because she ate incompatible foods for several days in a row. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and as long as she takes good care of herself, there will be no sequelae."

"If this continues, within half a month, Miss Kang will be exhausted and fall ill, or even die..."

Cai Ju's face was filled with horror: "Lady Liu really wants to harm the young lady!"

Concubine Kang turned pale with fear and fell into a chair. "Miscarriage is harmful to the body. Liu Ruyan did it so secretly that even if she killed me, no one would suspect the cause of my death."

She held Shen Zhinian's hand, eyes full of gratitude: "If it weren't for Sister Rou's carefulness, I can't believe what my fate would be... Sister Rou, luckily you are here!"

Shen Zhinian patted the back of Concubine Kang's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Kang. Now that we have found the reason, Liu Ruyan will not be able to harm you any more."

"Doctor Tang, please prescribe a prescription to help Concubine Kang recover."

Doctor Tang bowed and replied “Yes”.

After a long time, Kang Guiren recovered from her panic. With a pair of eyes filled with hatred, she gritted her teeth and said, "That vicious woman Liu Ruyan first killed my child, and now she wants to take my life! I will never reconcile with her!!!"

"Sister Rou, I will report this to the Queen and ask her to deal with that vicious woman!"

Shen Zhinian stopped her and said, "Sister Kang, do you know that the person who sent Liu Ruyan to the Xiaotangshan Palace a few days ago was the Empress?"

"What did you say……"

The whole palace only knew that Liu Ruyan had lost her dignity in order to win favor, but they didn't know that the person standing behind her was Queen Jiang.

Concubine Kang murmured, "Liu Ruyan is the Queen's woman? Then my child has miscarried... The Queen has always been kind and loving to the six palaces, how could it be..."

Shen Zhinian had memories of her past life and knew that Queen Jiang was a hypocritical person. But in the eyes of many people, including the emperor, Queen Jiang was a perfect mother of the country, virtuous and kind, and a model for the country.

If she slandered the Empress without any evidence and the news got out, she would be killed!

Therefore, Shen Zhinian's advice was just to stop there: "For some things, sister just needs to know the facts in her heart. Don't be impulsive without evidence."

Concubine Kang bit her lips tightly, tears filling her eyes: "Thank you for your reminder, sister..."

If it was really the Queen who instructed Liu Ruyan to harm her child, she would definitely avenge her child!

However, Ruth has to take one step at a time and avenge himself step by step. The most important thing now is to deal with Liu Ruyan!

Concubine Kang's eyes were gleaming with hatred. "My child was killed by someone, and Your Majesty has some pity for me. Liu Ruyan wants to kill me at this time. If Your Majesty knows, he will never let her go easily!"

"Sister Rou, thank you for your protection. Let me do the rest by myself!"

Although Shen Zhinian and Kang Guiren are allies, they will not take on all the affairs of the other party. Hearing this, they nodded and said, "I will ask Xiao Zhouzi to send the remaining evidence to Shangxiang Palace later."

"Sister Lao Rou is here!"

……

Concubine Liu was always generous. Some of the rewards given to new people when they entered the palace were taken from her own storehouse; some were arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after she gave silver.

Those ten bracelets were made of beads polished uniformly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from a piece of Hetian jade that was smooth to the touch.

Although Concubine Liu assisted in the management of the six palaces and had replaced the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department with one of her own people long ago, Empress Jiang was the mistress of the harem after all, so how could she not have confidants in the Imperial Household Department?

As soon as Concubine Liu learned the truth, she ordered people to investigate the matter quietly. But those ten bracelets had been handled by too many people, and there was no way to find out which link had been tampered with in a short period of time.

Xiao Weizi suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you report this matter to His Majesty truthfully? His Majesty's thunderous means will surely find out who is behind this!"

A hint of bitterness appeared in Concubine Liu's eyes.

When she first got the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she was very happy and felt that this represented His Majesty's trust in her!

But the old woman, the queen, set traps for her several times in secret. Every time, His Majesty did not believe her right away, and even had doubts about her, only looking at the evidence.

At first, Concubine Liu was very sad, thinking how could His Majesty not trust her. Later, she gradually got used to it and recognized the reality.

"That's easy for you to say."

"Your Majesty has always respected the Queen. I have no evidence to prove that she was the one who tampered with the bracelet. If I rashly bring this matter to your Majesty, given your suspicious nature, not only will he not believe me, but the Queen will probably take the opportunity to turn the tables and say that I deliberately framed her!"

"Moreover, His Majesty is busy with state affairs all day long, how can he have so much free time to take care of the affairs of the harem? He gave me the power to assist in the six palaces, but I still want to trouble His Majesty to investigate this matter. Wouldn't he think that I am incompetent?"

Xiao Weizi slapped his mouth immediately: "It is my fault that I am stupid! Thank you for your advice, my lady. I have learned from you!"

Concubine Liu said coldly, "The old woman, the Queen, pretends to be kind to the six concubines all day long, but in fact she is more cunning than anyone else! Although I have ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate secretly, there is no guarantee that she will not find out."

"Once the Queen knows that I have discovered this, she will definitely catch me off guard before I can find any evidence! I must not give her this opportunity. I must take back all the Hetian jade bracelets that I gave to the newlyweds."

As long as there is no evidence, Queen Jiang can't do anything to her. And everything is in her hands. Once the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have investigated it, she can present the evidence and the evidence to His Majesty.

Cuizhu said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise! But...how can we take back the reward we gave away?"

For Concubine Liu, it was very easy to accomplish this: "Go to Lihua Pavilion and tell Concubine Zhou..."

Although she no longer trusts Concubine Zhou, she is still of some use to her.
