Although it was painful, Shen Zhishu was not crazy yet.

Recalling how Su Rong had been aggressive and wanted her to take beauty pills, she suddenly realized something.

I was careless. I didn't expect she would resort to such dirty tricks.

She thought that Su Rong was only bent on taking her life, but she never expected that she would harm her in this way.

In front of the queen, he fed her poison.

Moreover, he secretly replaced the gift she gave to the Queen.

Now, both of them suffered losses at this dinner party.

In the severe pain, Shen Zhishu secretly mocked himself, saying that he was unable to be prepared and would never be fooled.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and in the chaos she was helped by the palace maid to sit on a stone bench.

After some investigation, the imperial physician was surprised.

"Concubine Shen has been poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is not fatal. It will only cause swelling, redness and itching on the face, and many small red spots will appear on the body, just like a rash."

When the imperial physician said this, everyone around was stunned.

As for Shen Zhishu himself, his heart was as calm as water and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How could he be poisoned?"

"Tonight's meals are provided by the imperial kitchen, and every serving is the same. Why are others okay?"

Everyone started speculating.

"Concubine Shen, it seems she took the beauty pills she brought with her."

Someone whispered.

What he got in return was everyone's even more shocked expressions.

Could it be that Concubine Shen wanted to poison the Queen?

Two daughters-in-law, one insulted the queen by using the clothes of a brothel girl to hook up with a man, and the other directly poisoned her?

What did the queen do to make her two daughters-in-law act so cruelly?

Shen Zhishu calmly scanned the expressions of these people and could guess what they were thinking at the moment.

"That's impossible. The beauty pills I brought are not poisonous, unless the ones inside are not the ones I sent."

She retorted calmly.

"You mean, someone else swapped the gift you sent? Who is so bold as to murder the queen?"

Princess Shuo answered with a somewhat exaggerated expression.

Shen Zhishu looked at her deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then continued her words.

"It's probably impossible to murder the queen. Didn't the imperial physician say that? This poison is not fatal. It will only disfigure her."

"Who is so vicious that he wants to disfigure the Queen?"

Then Princess Shuo's sister, Concubine Yuwen, also covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"I'm afraid it's not the Queen who's targeting her. The Queen of Qin forced Concubine Shen to take the poison. Have you forgotten that just now she forced Concubine Shen to test the drug on herself, and she wasn't even willing to let the imperial physician check the properties of the drug?"

Princess Shuo continued speaking.

"So, it was Princess Qin who wanted to harm Concubine Shen?"

"Concubine Shen is so beautiful, she must be jealous and want to disfigure Concubine Shen, and also frame her for murdering the Queen."

Isn’t it said that the women in King Shuo’s backyard are strong in fighting ability?

They talked one after another, and without Shen Zhishu even saying a word, they had guessed the "fact" that Princess Qin wanted to harm Concubine Shen.

And it is reasonable and well-founded.

Recalling the scene at the banquet just now where Princess Qin deliberately targeted Concubine Shen, this possibility is very high.

Most of the people here are women, and they are very familiar with such tactics.

No matter how stupid Concubine Shen was, it was impossible for her to give poison to the Queen.

In an instant, everyone's disgust towards Su Rong rose to a new level.

Muttering quietly about her past 'deeds'.

All in all, she doesn't look like a well-educated, well-mannered lady from a noble family.

The imperial physician immediately gave Shen Zhishu some detoxifying pills to take, as well as some anti-itching ointment.

After she finished applying the makeup and put on her veil, the three people in the main room finally came out.

The emperor walked in front, and Prince Shuo and Prince Qin followed on his left and right, but both of them looked unhappy.

I'm afraid no one will benefit from this private conversation.

Concubine Yue also saw it, so when she stepped forward to pay her respects, she glared fiercely at Shen Zhishu, the "evil spirit".

"It's getting late, let's all go."

In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Just...end?

Then how should the Princess of Qin be dealt with?

"Your Majesty, General Zhou is still kneeling outside, and the Princess of Qin..."

Concubine Yue couldn't help but speak.

After all, everything has to have a result.

"Zhou Ziyi was extremely disrespectful to the Queen and behaved inappropriately in front of the palace. According to the law, it would not be excessive to dismiss him from his post and send him to the frontier. However, considering that he had made countless contributions to the court and had a hidden illness, he was demoted to guard the city gate and was severely beaten with 20 sticks."

The emperor's tone softened a lot, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that he was helpless.

"As for the Princess of Qin, she will be detained here first. She will be required to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Queen every day until she recovers. Her behavior is insane and unhealthy. She is not fit to serve in the court. She will be dismissed from all her duties from today onwards."

This punishment is already very severe.

But he did not mention divorce.

Shen Zhishu knew that Yan Chu had chosen her after all.

Even Concubine Yue fell silent.

I'm afraid she didn't expect that even after Su Rong committed such a crime, she still couldn't divorce her.

"There is one more thing. Concubine Shen was poisoned and disfigured just now..."

After a moment, she spoke again.

At this time, Yan Chu noticed Shen Zhishu.

She was wearing a veil, but vaguely I could see red marks on her forehead.

Concubine Yue explained the whole story.

It's basically the result of taking 'beauty pills'.

But the beauty pills were a gift from her to the Queen. If they were poisonous, she would not take them, let alone give them to the Queen.

"In my opinion, Concubine Shen is being plotted against. After we carefully considered this in the courtyard, we felt that the Princess of Qin was the most suspicious."

Su Rong was not divorced even though she did this, and Concubine Yue felt a little unwilling to accept this.

So I got anxious.

Because such good opportunities are rare.

This was a good thing for Shen Zhishu, because she didn't even have to say anything and someone would help her.

Among those women of King Shuo just now, there is now Concubine Yue.

She suddenly felt that Su Rong had actually offended quite a few people.

"Is there any evidence? Or is someone deliberately leading you?"

Before Yan Chu could say anything, King Shuo stood up first, and he looked more anxious.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened.

"Concubine Shen, open your face and let me see it."

He was already very dissatisfied with the Princess of Qin and was full of anger.

Now what? It's not over.

Shen Zhishu glanced at Yan Chu silently. He frowned, not knowing what he was struggling with, or perhaps he was unhappy about what was happening at the moment.

Everyone saw it just now, so no one minds it now.

But she was a little worried that Yan Chu would be unhappy when he saw it.

He was attracted by her own beauty, so he was really worried that he would see her ugly appearance, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

But judging from Yan Chu's expression, she was worrying too much.

I'm afraid all his attention is on Su Rong at this moment.

So she lifted her veil, lowered her head slightly, and turned her face sideways to the emperor.
