The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"Besides that, I really don't know anything else. The servants beside Master have always been responsible for fetching the medicine. The two of us were only responsible for decocting it. We really don't know anything else. Your Majesty, we didn't lie. By the way, there are still several sets of medicine in the kitchen that haven't been decocted yet. Your Majesty, can you send someone to take a look at them?"

"This medicine was definitely not tampered with by the servants."

The two little girls kept shaking their heads, their eyes instantly turning as red as the rabbits' because of fear.

These two little maids had been serving Zuo Tang since they were young, and were brought with him as dowry from Zuo Xiang's residence. Naturally, there was no problem with them, and Gu Jianchu simply did not make things difficult for them.

He also looked at the servant lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face, "You got the pregnancy medicine that Madam drank from the pharmacy, but did you tamper with it?"

Seeing that the servant didn't move, Zhongfeng kicked him. The servant groaned in pain, "The Queen is asking you a question, and you don't answer honestly."

The servant was still afraid of the heavy wind, his eyes filled with endless fear. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't tamper with the medicine. It was you, my Lord, who gave me the prescription and asked me to replace the abortion medicine with contraceptive medicine. You also forbade me to tell anyone, and forbade me to go to the big pharmacies in the capital to get the medicine, for fear that someone would find out that the abortion medicine had been replaced with contraceptive medicine."

Gu Jianchu thought it would take some effort to get the truth out of the servant, but he didn't expect that the servant would confess so easily.

Zuo Tang, who was standing by, looked at the servant kneeling on the ground with an expression of disbelief and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Heng also became anxious instantly. He rushed forward and kicked the servant. The servant, who was already being tortured, rolled on the ground in pain. Zhang Heng didn't care about that and cursed, "Why don't you confess now? Who ordered you to accuse me so wrongly in front of the madam? When did I switch the pregnancy-maintaining medicine with the contraceptive medicine? Is it because you hate the madam that you secretly switched the medicine, and then you are afraid of taking the responsibility and put it all on me?"

"That must be the case. I've been so good to you, yet you plotted against me like this."

The Nanfu Opera Troupe has a new member! Their acting is truly amazing. I was so moved by their performance that I almost believed it.

[Now that the situation has come to a head, how did this guy manage to put all the blame on a single servant? I really admire him.]

Xie Ci'an's eyes were filled with intense coldness.

A cold look naturally swept across Chongfeng.

Chongfeng understood instantly and kicked Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng fell to the ground with his face choked on the grass. He was only inches away from hitting the stone in front of him and being disfigured. However, he felt that all the bones in his body were broken as he fell.

Without waiting for Zhang Heng to get up from the ground, two guards immediately stepped forward and pinned Zhang Heng to the ground to prevent him from making any movement.

Everyone's eyes fell on the servant.

The servant shook his head in panic, "It's not me, it's really not me. Madam and I have no grudges against each other, so why would I hate her? When my parents were sick before, it was Madam who gave me some money to help them, so that they could afford the medical treatment. I would never harm Madam. I beg the Emperor and the Empress to see clearly."

"Madam has done you so many favors, why do you still want to harm her?" Xie Ci'an asked speechlessly.

What is the difference between this and the farmer and the snake? Although Zhang Heng was behind the scenes directing him, he was also able to do it under Zhang Heng's instructions.

The servant's eyes turned red as he began to cry. He didn't know if it was because of the pain or because he regretted what he had done. "I am sorry, Madam, but I dare not disobey Master Zhang's orders. If I don't, Master Zhang will definitely kill me because I know too much about Master Zhang. Master Zhang wrote me a prescription specifically for Madam, and the prescription is in my clothes."

Chongfeng stepped forward and dug out a piece of paper from the servant's clothes. The paper was stained with a little blood, and the names of medicinal herbs were densely written on it. Chongfeng couldn't understand these things, so he handed it directly to Doctor Lin who was watching the fun on the side.

For the first time, Doctor Lin felt that it was a very happy thing to serve the emperor and empress, and to be able to eat melons with them all the time.

After receiving the prescription, Doctor Lin unfolded it and took a look, then immediately reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this prescription contains exactly the same ingredients as the contraceptive medicine that Madam Zhang drank. I can confirm that this is indeed the prescription for the contraceptive medicine that Madam Zhang took."

Zuo Tang's eyes instantly turned red after hearing this. He covered his chest with his fingers and suddenly felt a severe pain in his chest. His vision went black and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. Fortunately, Qiu Tao was quick to support Zuo Tang and prevent him from falling.

Doctor Lin reacted quickly, stepped forward, and raised his hand to pinch Zuo Tang's philtrum, but Zuo Tang recovered after a while.

Zuo Tang broke free from Qiu Tao's support and rushed forward tremblingly, hitting Zhang Heng with his small fists. "You still say it wasn't you? Why did you replace the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I drank with the contraceptive medicine? Why didn't you let me get pregnant? What was your purpose? What on earth was your purpose?"

Zhang Heng was now restrained by two guards, and could only endure Zuo Tang's punches and kicks. After a while, Zhang Heng's face was swollen from Zuo Tang's beating. "Nothing, I just don't want you to have a baby."

After hearing Zhang Heng's words, Zuo Tang collapsed to the ground, exhausted. "You just lied to me. From the beginning to the end, you haven't said a single truth. Now I don't know which of your words are true and which are false."

Gu Jianchu glanced at Xie Ci'an who was standing beside him, waved his hand and asked Qiutou to help Zuo Tang to the side. Xie Ci'an continued to ask, "What else do you know about Master Zhang? As long as you tell the truth, I can spare your life."

What Zhang Heng had done was punishable by death. Now that there was a chance to survive, the servant naturally had to seize it. He quickly spoke out, "Your Majesty, I've said everything. Besides replacing Madam's pregnancy-maintaining medicine with contraceptive medicine, Master also placed Doctor Ruan with Madam. This Doctor Ruan and our Master have always had an improper relationship. Master has secretly visited Doctor Ruan several times while Madam was asleep. As for what they said or did, I don't know. After all, Master Zhang only allowed me to guard outside and never let me get close."

"Besides Doctor Ruan, Master Zhang also kept nearly a dozen women outside. They were all offered to him by ministers in exchange for official positions. Aside from a few who committed suicide due to the humiliation, and a few who were tortured to death by Master Zhang, there are more than ten remaining women, imprisoned in separate courtyards to the west and east of the city."
