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

Queen Jiang's face darkened: "Why is there snow cypress in the medicine that Concubine Jiang drank?!"

Nangong Xuanyu said in a deep voice: "Check!"

The people below immediately took action, causing a huge commotion. Countless people were implicated and dragged into the Ministry of Punishment for severe torture.

Concubine Liu watched the farce quietly, covering her lips with a handkerchief, with a hint of contempt at the corners of her lips.

Whatever she was going to do, she would clean up the mess thoroughly. There was no way she could let the old woman, the Queen, catch her.

The final result was that the pharmacist who was responsible for prescribing medicine for Jiang Wanning in the Imperial Hospital mistook snow cypress for another herb in the prescription. Because the two herbs looked exactly the same, it was difficult to distinguish them without careful observation, which led to this tragedy.

However, anyone who could enter the Imperial Hospital, even if he was just a junior pharmacist, was very proficient in pharmacology. If he made a mistake once, it could be said to be carelessness, but how could he make mistakes so many times in a row? This was clearly intentional murder!

But the Ministry of Punishment used all kinds of torture, but the drug addict still insisted that it was his carelessness. A thorough investigation of his origins and background, as well as who he had contact with, did not reveal any problems.

Jiang Wanning's death did seem to be an accident.

In the end, this massive investigation came to a standstill when the drug addict died from torture.

Concubine Liu had a look of regret on her beautiful face, and her peach blossom eyes looked at Queen Jiang with sympathy: "Queen, it's all because of the people below who didn't do their job carefully, which led to Concubine Jiang's death at such a young age. Seeing this, I am also very heartbroken..."

"We will definitely punish those involved this time to comfort the spirit of Concubine Jiang. Your Majesty, please accept our condolences."

Although Concubine Liu was saying words of comfort, Queen Jiang could clearly see a gloating look on her bright and charming face.

Queen Jiang's chest heaved with anger, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in her throat. She used a great deal of strength to suppress the bloody smell.

Concubine Liu is definitely responsible for Wan Ning's death!

If she only dealt with the few people in the Imperial Hospital and the palace maids serving in Chuxiu Palace, it would be too hasty. How could she be worthy of Wan Ning? !

In the future, Concubine Liu will definitely become even more arrogant. The people in Duke Dingguo’s Mansion don’t know how they will laugh at them!

Once something is done, it will definitely leave traces. Queen Jiang didn't believe that Concubine Liu's methods were really so strict!

Queen Jiang turned pale, and she stood up and knelt in front of Nangong Xuanyu, looking at him in grief, crying with blood on her face, "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, Wan Ning was only a little girl of eight or nine years old. She has been following me and calling me 'eldest sister' since she was a child."

"Before I got married, I loved this little sister the most, and my father treated Wan Ning like the apple of his eye. If he knew that Wan Ning died in an unclear manner, I don't know how sad he would be..."

"I don't believe that a little pharmacist from the Imperial Hospital could have killed Wan Ning. There must be someone behind the scenes directing him! No matter how careful the person behind the scenes is, there will inevitably be clues left behind. I beg Your Majesty to search the harem and find the real culprit who killed Wan Ning!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the concubines in the harem changed.

Although Jiang Wanning's death had nothing to do with them, if they wanted to survive in the deep palace, who wouldn't have something shameful in their palace? If they were found out, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them!

Concubine Liu said with a sullen face, "I know that Concubine Jiang's death has made Her Majesty very sad, but the concubines are all His Majesty's women. How can you let the guards go in and out of the bedroom? Searching the palace will not only damage the concubines, but also His Majesty's reputation!"

Everyone quickly echoed: "Your Highness, what the Imperial Concubine said makes sense. Your Highness, please think twice!"

"Noble Lady Jiang has passed away. We are very sad, but please, Queen, please be patient and give us some dignity!"

"..."

Queen Jiang certainly knew that this move was tantamount to offending all the concubines in the palace. But Wan Ning was dead, and the hope of the Zhenguogong Mansion's direct lineage was completely shattered. She couldn't care less!

As long as we can find evidence, we can drag Concubine Liu into the water!

"I beg your majesty to help us return Wan Ning and bring justice to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

Looking at Queen Jiang's pale face and shaky body, Nangong Xuanyu felt a little compassion and personally stepped forward to support her: "Why are you doing this, Queen? Get up and talk."

Under normal circumstances, Queen Jiang could indeed investigate slowly, but she didn't have that much energy. She had to catch the murderer off guard before the murderer had time to clean up his mess!

Otherwise, once the murderer destroyed the evidence, Wan Ning’s death would have been in vain.

Queen Jiang's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was ashen and pale as if she was about to die: "I only want to seek justice for my younger sister in the last moments of my life. I beg Your Majesty to grant me this!"

"If Your Majesty does not agree, I will not get up..."

Ever since Queen Jiang fell ill, Nangong Xuanyu had only sat there every time he went to Kunning Palace. When he touched her body, he suddenly realized that the queen was so thin that only bones were left...

In the emperor's impression, the queen has always been dignified and graceful, always maintaining the demeanor of a mother of the country. This is the first time he has seen her lose her composure in front of others.

The imperial physician said that even if the queen takes good care of herself, she will only live for a year or two...

Nangong Xuanyu's heart finally softened: "Pass on my order, search the six palaces! Bring all the things related to the death of Concubine Jiang to Chuxiu Palace."

The imperial commander said "yes" and immediately took action with his guards.

Although the concubines were unhappy, they dared not say anything since His Majesty's words were solemn.

Concubine Liu snorted coldly, still with disdain in her eyes.

The Duke Dingguo Mansion never fought a war without preparation. Even if the Queen made such a big fuss, it would be impossible to find any substantial evidence. Instead, it made all the concubines in the palace resent her.

Tsk... This old woman is getting more and more confused as she gets sicker. Let's see how she ends up!

Everything was developing according to Shen Zhinian's guess. She hid in the crowd, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes when she looked at Anpin!

But...if her guess was correct, someone else would be in trouble today.

The fight between gods was none of her business. She only needed to hide in the dark and watch the snipe and the clam fight quietly.

The concubines sat in their respective seats according to their ranks, with different expressions on their faces.

After her initial anger, Concubine An calmed down.

If they only searched the Xianfu Palace, it would definitely be a humiliation to her. But now all the concubines in the palace have to have their residences searched by the guards. Everyone is treated the same, so no one needs to laugh at anyone else.

Fortunately, she was the head of a palace and did not need to fight for survival like the lower-ranking concubines. Xianfu Palace was relatively clean.

No matter how this matter is connected, it has nothing to do with her.
