Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Concubine Zhan quickly recovered from her shock. What she had to do now was to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible. It would be disastrous if the case was traced back to her and her mother.

But the box is still there, so it shouldn't be difficult to find the fire phosphorus powder.

How can this be good?

Put the blame on Lin Yiwan?

No, this skirt was originally meant for her to wear. If Zhan Yan knew about it, he would definitely be furious.

She was in the harem and had to rely on his power in the previous dynasty, so she couldn't slander Lin Yiwan openly.

Besides, she is now a member of the Zhan family. She can do whatever she wants to harm them behind their backs, but in public, she has to consider the reputation of the Marquisate.

Then, the Queen will have to take the blame!

She quickly winked at the maid not far away, who nodded, turned around and left quickly.

The queen, who was completely unaware of the situation at the time, had no idea that while she was in the palace, the blame could come from the sky!

She is so wronged!

Imperial Concubine Zhan was already crying, her eyes watering. "Your Majesty, my little girl Duo'er finally made it to the palace. This little girl, as lively as a flower bud, was burned into this state. How can I explain this to my brother and my mother at home? Please, please, do something for her!"

Emperor Sheng An also felt a little guilty. After all, she was a girl from the Zhan family. If he didn't look at the imperial concubine, he would have to look at Zhan Yan, right?

He has already become inhumane for his own sake, and now the little girl in his mansion has been burned for no reason. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it will be difficult to explain.

He immediately said with a sullen face, "Where is Li Youde, the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Li Youde quickly stepped forward and replied, "I will be here!"

Emperor Sheng An ordered sternly: "Go and find out who murdered Zhan Duo'er. Make sure to catch the real culprit and give the Zhan family an explanation!"

Li Youde quickly agreed and walked towards Zhan Duoer without hesitation.

Doctor Lin spoke in a complicated tone, "She was burned by the fire phosphorus powder. Commander Li should be aware that this kind of thing will spontaneously combust without fire under the sun, right?"

Li Youde was shocked: "What hatred, what grudge?"

At this time, Concubine Zhan came over quickly and said, "I remember now. When Madam Yan entered the palace, she gave me a gold-threaded dress. Duo'er accidentally soiled the dress, so she put it on temporarily!"

Lin Yiwan raised the corners of her lips in sarcasm. He actually wanted to drag her into this?

She spoke without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I did not give her the golden dress. It was the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion who asked Zhan Duoer to bring it in!"

Concubine Zhan's eyes were filled with resentment. She murmured sadly, "Sister-in-law, is it really necessary to make such a clear distinction?"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "I don't deserve it. I'm worried that the emperor will misunderstand me and think I'm deliberately trying to murder Zhan Duo'er!"

Concubine Zhan argued, "But mother wouldn't do that. She loves Duo'er the most, so how could she harm her? Besides, this dress was originally meant for me to wear!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth.

She looked at Emperor Sheng An with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, could it be that someone wants to murder me and put fire phosphorus powder on my gold silk skirt?"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and pondered: "That's a possibility!"

He turned around and ordered Li Youde: "Hurry up and check how many checkpoints this box passed through after entering the palace?"

Li Youde quickly led his men to the product inspection pavilion, only to discover that the eunuch in charge was soundly sleeping.

He said impatiently: "It's already this late, and Eunuch Wang can still sleep?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't react at all.

Li Youde's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped forward without hesitation to check his breathing.

"Dead?" There was a flash of shock in his eyes.

He searched around Eunuch Wang and found a bottle of poison, Crane's Beak Poison, and a confession letter with wet ink under the table.

He did not dare to hesitate and directly brought Eunuch Wang's body and the evidence back to Emperor Sheng An.

When he saw the letter of confession, a chill flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face.

He ordered sternly, "Open it and read it to me!"

Li Youde unfolded the rice paper and quickly read, "I am guilty. I know my crime is unforgivable, so I can only swallow poison and commit suicide. Everything I did was ordered by the Empress. I had no choice!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Sheng An subconsciously refuted: "Impossible, the Queen has a kind nature, how could she do such a wicked thing?"

Concubine Zhan bit her lip hard and said, "I also believe it wasn't the Queen, but Eunuch Wang wrote the confession himself!"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes flashed with intense struggle. He hesitated for a moment before speaking with difficulty: "Go and call the Queen!"

The queen hurried over with a solemn and ugly expression. It was obvious that she had also heard that Eunuch Wang had accused her of murdering Concubine Zhan.

Her cold eyes swept over Concubine Zhan, and then she quickly walked to Emperor Sheng An and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An asked, "Empress, did you instruct Eunuch Wang to sprinkle fire phosphorus powder inside the clothing box that the Marquis' Mansion sent to Concubine Zhan?"

The Queen shook her head vigorously: "I don't have any!"

These four simple and powerful words show her attitude.

Imperial Concubine Zhan choked up and said, "I also believe that the Queen Sister wouldn't be so cruel. However, since Eunuch Wang has left a confession, in order to prove the Queen Sister's innocence, we must search her palace to silence the gossips!"

The Queen interrupted without hesitation: "I didn't do it. Why are you searching the palace? Just based on a confession that I don't know if it was written by the eunuch Wang?"

Concubine Zhan was so angry that she even forgot to cry. She asked angrily, "Queen, what do you mean by this?"

The Queen ignored him and turned to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I believe someone has framed Wang Eunuch. He definitely did not commit suicide by taking poison. Someone deliberately murdered him and then fabricated a confession!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded approvingly: "The Queen is right. You are the master of the harem. Searching your palace is no small matter. So first find out the true cause of Eunuch Wang's death. It won't be too late to search again!"

After hearing this, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but complain in her heart, doesn't the emperor also trust and protect the queen very much?

Why in the previous life did he watch helplessly as the queen met such a miserable end and did nothing?

It seems that we cannot underestimate Concubine Zhan’s methods!

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Zhan's face turned pale with anger. The evidence of his guilt was conclusive, but the Emperor still had to consider the Empress's face!

He is so partial!

Emperor Sheng An interrupted her: "Noble Concubine, haven't you always been on good terms with the Empress and her sisters? I imagine you wouldn't want her to suffer in vain, right?"

"Me!" Concubine Zhan gritted her teeth, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yiwan, who was standing nearby watching the show, couldn't help but stare in amazement. It turned out that everyone in this palace was cunning and cunning.

Especially the emperor, his method of controlling people is really superb.

Look, just a few words made Concubine Zhan embarrassed.

Her face was pale as she murmured, "Yes, I also hope to find out who the real murderer is as soon as possible!"
