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

Little Zhouzi knew that the young lady was going to use him in an important position, and he immediately took the ointment with great joy.

"Yes! Please rest assured, my lady. Although there are many guards in Xianfu Palace, with my skills, I guarantee that I can handle this matter without anyone noticing!"

Before Xiao Zhouzi entered the palace, his family was a martial arts family. Shen Zhinian had seen his kung fu, which was better than that of ordinary guards. If his family had not suffered a great change, he would probably not have fallen to the point of becoming a eunuch.

Moreover, during this period, Shen Zhinian had asked his father to check his background thoroughly, and there was indeed no problem. The rest of Xiao Zhouzi's family was also taken to the capital by the Shen family to be taken care of.

Otherwise, Shen Zhinian would not feel comfortable entrusting such an important matter to someone he did not trust.

She tapped her fingers on the table intermittently, her voice lazy but with a hint of majesty: "Do this quietly. I don't want Madam Xiao and Yuanbao to know. Do you understand?"

Little Zhouzi nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "I know the importance of this matter."

If Madam Xiao and Yuanbao knew about it, it would be the same as if His Majesty knew about it. By then, not to mention the servants, even the young lady would be in trouble.

Two days later, Xiao Zhouzi came to report that the mission had been successfully completed.

Shen Zhinian was very satisfied and gave him a generous reward in private.

The stage has been set up, now all we have to do is wait for the show to begin!

……

The red spots on Jiang Wanning's face became lighter day by day, and now they could not be seen even with a thin layer of powder.

She was in a good mood every day, fantasizing about the day when she would amaze His Majesty and be favored by the six palaces after she recovered! The atmosphere in Chuxiu Palace had also become much more relaxed recently.

When Queen Jiang received the report, she felt relieved. Her condition had improved a lot, and she rewarded Li Hui with many good things.

However, who knew... just when everything was going in the right direction, Jiang Wanning died suddenly!

Her personal maid Xuezhu was the first to discover it, and she was almost scared crazy!

This incident quickly caused an uproar in the harem!!!

Not to mention Queen Jiang, even the emperor rushed over immediately after being alarmed.

After all, Jiang Wanning is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and is deeply loved at home. This matter is of no trivial matter!

Although Nangong Xuanyu knew that the open and covert struggles among the concubines in the palace were inevitable, he always turned a blind eye. But he would never allow anyone in the harem to dare to blatantly kill people!

Almost all the famous concubines in the palace rushed to Chuxiu Palace. Even Concubine An, who was under house arrest, was invited over.

Shen Zhinian stood in the crowd, the expression on his face was the same as everyone else's, shocked but also a bit panic and fear.

Even though there are so many beauties with different styles around her, her natural charm is still very eye-catching and can be noticed at a glance.

Nangong Xuanyu's gaze lingered on Shen Zhinian for a moment.

This little girl has always been timid and has never done anything bad since entering the palace. Every time she fought back, it was because someone bullied her so badly that she couldn't help but fight back, and the means she used were also weak. Seeing such a scene, she must have been scared.

He felt a little pity in his heart, but showing favoritism to her in public would only harm her. And the most important thing now was to find out the cause of Jiang Wanning's death.

Nangong Xuanyu looked at Xuezhu who was kneeling on the ground, and said with great imperial dignity: "Tell me, what on earth is going on?"

Queen Jiang's health had been poor to begin with, and after suffering such a blow, her thin cheeks turned pale without a trace of blood, and she leaned back in the chair as if she would faint at any moment.

Concubine Liu took her appearance into her eyes, and a hint of arrogance appeared at the corner of her lips, not forgetting to stab her: "Yes, Xuezhu, you have to explain it carefully. Concubine Jiang is the Queen's biological sister. She died in such an unclear way. How sad the Queen must be..."

This old woman is clinging to the throne half-dead, it’s time for her to give way to the throne!

Queen Jiang's face became paler and paler, but she still maintained the dignity of a queen and did not show any inappropriate expression, which would have made Concubine Liu laugh at her.

Xuezhu's eyes were swollen from crying. "This morning, I called to wake up my lady as usual, but she didn't respond. I was worried, so I lifted the curtain and took a look. I found that my lady had stopped breathing and her body was cold..."

Several imperial doctors came out from the inner room and announced the results of their investigation: "Your Majesty and the Queen, Concubine Jiang died of poisoning!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chuxiu Palace suddenly became agitated, and everyone's faces were filled with fear.

"Oh my god! In broad daylight, someone actually dared to poison a concubine, and succeeded!"

"If we don't find the murderer, won't everyone in the harem be in danger?"

"Who on earth is so cruel to do such a cruel thing to Concubine Jiang?"

"..."

Concubine Liu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and a perfect look of shock appeared on her beautiful face: "Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise the people in the imperial harem will be in a panic..."

Queen Jiang's sharp gaze fell on Concubine Liu.

The Mansion of Duke Dingguo and the Mansion of Duke Zhenguo have always been mortal enemies. Apart from Concubine Liu, who else in the harem has such great ability to kill Wan Ning under her nose!

However, Queen Jiang had no evidence, so she could not pin the crime on Concubine Liu without reason.

She looked at the imperial physician and asked in a deep voice, "Why was Concubine Jiang poisoned? What kind of poison did she die of?!"

"Your Highness, after our inspection, the rash on Lady Jiang's face has improved a lot. It should be because she has been using drugs to treat poison with poison during this period."

Concubine An asked curiously, "Could it be that the medicine poisoned Concubine Jiang to death? Then she really lost more than she gained. Not only did she not get her face healed, she also lost her life..."

"Why don't I know about this?"

Queen Jiang explained, "Your Majesty, Wan Ning wanted to give you a surprise after her face was completely healed, so she didn't let anyone spread the news."

Then, her icy gaze fell on Li Hui: "Didn't you say that the medicine can cure the poison of snowweed and will never harm Concubine Jiang's body?!"

Li Hui knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty and the Queen, please understand that what I said is absolutely true! I have tried it on palace maids before and there were no problems. Queen, you also know this!"

At this time, the director of the Imperial Hospital, after checking the medicine Jiang Wanning had recently used, frowned deeply and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, the ointment developed by Imperial Doctor Li can indeed treat Concubine Jiang's face. But someone added a kind of snow cypress to the medicine that Concubine Jiang took internally."

"The effects of the snow cypress and the ointment mixed together and produced toxins in Concubine Jiang's body. The accumulation of toxins led to Concubine Jiang's death from poisoning."
