Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne
Chapter 59: Concubine An was banished to the cold palace and sentenced to death
Even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau didn't know about this, but she, a little girl, had such knowledge.
Some people have stunning looks but an empty head, which makes people feel bored after spending a long time with them; while some people are like mysterious treasures, the more you get to know them, the more you can discover their shining points.
This young lady is undoubtedly the latter.
Unknowingly, Shen Zhinian's position in Nangong Xuanyu's heart had risen to another level.
However, the emperor never showed his emotions, and he looked away for a moment, looking at the body on the ground: "Check!"
"Yes!"
This guard was a hidden chess piece planted in the palace by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. All escape routes had been arranged long ago, and in the end, they only found some insignificant people, and could not link them to Queen Jiang at all.
Concubine Liu's face darkened, and she didn't show any anger until the emperor spoke to comfort her.
However, this incident reminded Concubine Liu that someone must be held responsible for Jiang Wanning's death. Otherwise, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would continue to harass her and who knows what kind of troubles they would secretly create for her.
At her eye contact, an inconspicuous palace servant outside the door quietly left.
Everyone's eyes fell on Concubine An. The palace concubines who were nearby couldn't help but take two steps back, as if she were some kind of monster.
Since the imperial concubine is innocent, the murderer can only be her!
There was no trace of blood on Concubine An's charming face. She kept defending herself, "Your Majesty, Queen, please believe me. I really didn't harm Concubine Jiang! This matter has nothing to do with me! I am innocent..."
However, the ointment, which was still kept secret, was found in her palace. No one would believe her if she said that this matter had nothing to do with her.
Queen Jiang looked at Concubine An with an increasingly cold gaze.
At this time, a palace servant from the Ministry of Punishment came to report quickly: "Your Majesty, Queen, after severe torture, the imperial physician Li Hui admitted that he accidentally left a bottle of ointment near the Xianfu Palace. Concubine Jiang died because of it, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to say it before."
This is equivalent to confirming the truth!
"Oh my god...it turned out that Concubine An picked up the ointment and guessed that it was for Concubine Jiang's face treatment, so she set up this plan. Maybe the guard who just slandered Concubine was also arranged by her."
"This vicious plan not only successfully eliminated Concubine Jiang, but also almost dragged down Concubine Gui. I really didn't know that Concubine An was so cunning!"
"Fortunately, Rou Changzai is smart and saw through her plot. Otherwise, if I stayed in the harem with such a person, I would be really afraid that I would be harmed by her one day."
"..."
Seeing the discussions of the palace concubines and their frightened eyes, Concubine An really felt like she had no way to defend herself.
"It's not me! It's really not me! Your Majesty, please believe me! Your Majesty..."
The emperor has always hated women with vicious hearts. He was already very unhappy with Concubine An's slapping Shen Zhinian for no reason last time, and now she has done such a vicious thing again, which has exhausted their past friendship.
All the evidence pointed to her. The emperor was too lazy to listen to her excuses and said coldly: "Anpin murdered Gongpin. The evidence is irrefutable. She is unforgivable. She will be banished to the cold palace and sentenced to death immediately!"
Anpin had been serving the emperor since she was in the palace. If she had killed an ordinary noble, she would have been demoted to a low-ranking concubine. Even if she was banished to the cold palace, at least she could have saved her life.
However, Jiang Wanning was Queen Jiang's biological sister and the most beloved youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. If the crime of killing her fell on Anpin, there would be no way for Concubine An to survive.
"Your Majesty! I am truly wronged! You cannot be so heartless to me! Your Majesty..."
When Concubine An was dragged out, her face was full of fear and tears kept flowing out.
She had been under house arrest for so long and finally saw His Majesty. She thought that after Jiang Wanning's matter was over, she would find an opportunity to plead with His Majesty and ask Him to forgive her punishment.
When she gets the favor of His Majesty, she will find an opportunity to kill Shen Zhinian and see if that bitch dares to act so arrogantly in front of her!
But who could tell her why she became a murderer and even lost her life just because she sat here and watched the fun for a while? !
Who is it? ! Who is harming her? !
Looking at Concubine An crying and begging for mercy, Shen Zhinian's eyes were not moved at all.
She said that she was a very stingy person and would always seek revenge!
Moreover, Concubine An had the intention to kill her. If she didn't kill her, she would be killed when she found the opportunity.
When she was dragged past Shen Zhinian and met her cold eyes, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Anpin's mind!
It's this bitch!!!
She understood. This bitch must have known that she had the murderous intention, so she took the initiative and pinned the blame for Concubine Jiang's death on her!
Unfortunately, Anpin's voice was too loud. The two eunuchs in charge of the execution saw the disgust in the emperor's eyes and tactfully blocked her mouth with a handkerchief. Anpin could only stare at Shen Zhinian from a distance, sobbing continuously.
In order to appease the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the emperor issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Concubine Jiang on Jiang Wanning, and buried her in the concubine's tomb with the ceremony of a concubine.
The emperor ordered the murderer to be executed and showed such great favor. Empress Jiang was completely speechless and could only swallow her sorrow: "... On behalf of Wan Ning and the Duke of Zhenguo, I thank your majesty for his grace!"
No one was envious. Even the most jealous Concubine Liu had only disdain in her eyes.
The person is dead, no matter how great the favor is, it is just for show, what's the point? She won this game with the queen thoroughly!
When Concubine Liu looked at Shen Zhinian, her eyes became much gentler.
She has always disliked women in the harem, because they are all bitches who are trying to steal His Majesty from her! But if Rou Chang is not here today, she will not be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River. Queen Jiang and the Zhenguo Mansion will definitely hold on to this matter and create great trouble for her!
Concubine Liu understood that the superior must be clear about rewards and punishments, so that more people will be willing to fight for her. Moreover, Shen Zhinian was her man, and if her status in the harem was improved, her power would also grow.
The most important thing is... it can disgust the queen!
Thinking of this, Concubine Liu said delicately, "Your Majesty, today's matter can be solved, and Rou Changzai has made an indispensable contribution! You have cleared my name and maintained the peace of the harem, so you should be rewarded handsomely!"
Nangong Xuanyu was also very satisfied with Shen Zhinian, and asked in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Concubine Rou, is there any reward you want?"
This is exactly the purpose of Shen Zhinian fanning the flames behind the scenes. The more fiercely Concubine Liu and Queen Jiang fight, the more she can muddy the waters and benefit from it!
However, on the surface, she looked humble and terrified: "Your Majesty, Lady Concubine, I am only telling you what I know. I dare not take credit for it, let alone ask for a reward."
