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

Emperor Sheng An quickly said, "First, we must verify Eunuch Wang's handwriting. As long as we can prove that the confession was not written by him, the Queen will be cleared of suspicion!"

The Queen bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have brought his daily handwriting here. He went to the Imperial Household Department in the capital to collect the necessary items for the Inspection Pavilion and left his signature!"

She ordered someone to present it to Emperor Sheng An and also sent a copy to Zhan Yan.

After reading it, Zhan Yan subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, the confession was indeed not written by Eunuch Wang himself!"

Lin Yiwan also leaned over to take a look, and it was obvious that the handwriting was different.

She widened her eyes and asked, "Husband, does this prove that the confession was deliberately forged to mislead the direction of finding the real culprit?"

Zhan Yan nodded: "You are right!"

Lin Yiwan spoke again, "Then let's reason in the opposite direction. Can we also search for the same handwriting in the palace based on the confession?"

Before Zhan Yan could say anything, Emperor Sheng An excitedly said, "Madam Hou, this is a good idea. Let's start by checking the signatures from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They should be among them!"

Concubine Zhan's heart immediately rose to her throat. If she really investigated like this, her conspiracy would be exposed.

How can this be good?

It’s all that bitch Lin Yiwan’s fault. Why does she keep talking so much?

Her ability to reason in the opposite direction shows that she is capable.

She tore it hard, pulling at the handkerchief, her eyes full of resentment.

The Queen glanced at her and said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, why do you look so unhappy? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want Doctor Lin to take a look at you?"

Concubine Zhan waved her hands quickly: "No need, sister is just a little worried about Duoer. She suffered for me, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart!"

The Queen replied seriously, "Don't be upset. The real culprit will be found soon. Then you'll feel relieved!"

Concubine Zhan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart and said, "Thank you!"

But on the surface, he had to force a smile: "Yes, Queen Sister is right!"

The queen glanced at her and said nothing more.

At this time, Li Youde was flipping through the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his fingers were almost worn out, but he still couldn't find a similar handwriting.

The imperial palace was so huge, and there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people in charge of the affairs of each palace.

Comparing the palaces one by one, his eyes were dazzled.

Seeing that only Sakura Palace was left, he said without hesitation: "No, there is no similar handwriting in this account book!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even Emperor Sheng An frowned and asked, "Have you checked everything? Is there really nothing?"

Li Youde rubbed his eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, I will compare them one by one, and there will be no omissions!"

Imperial Concubine Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, since the real culprit hasn't been found, is the Empress still a suspect?"

Before the Queen could say anything, Lin Yiwan pretended to be confused and said, "I just saw it clearly. Commander Li hasn't compared them all yet? There are still a few left!"

Zhan Yan nodded immediately: "Yes, I saw it too!"

Facing the Emperor's scrutinizing gaze, Li Youde hurriedly explained, "No, Your Majesty, the last few pictures are of the Sakura Palace. Could it be that the Imperial Concubine is deliberately trying to murder me?"

Concubine Zhan subconsciously denied: "Of course I won't!"

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand: "For the sake of fairness, check it out!"

Concubine Zhan immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty, do you not believe me?"

Emperor Sheng An soothed him gently, "This has nothing to do with whether I believe you or not. I want to treat everyone equally. I've checked all the palaces, so how could I have missed the Sakura Palace? What are you afraid of?"

The Queen followed up with a sentence: "Yes, Concubine sister, what are you afraid of? No one will believe that you will harm yourself, right?"

Concubine Zhan twisted her fingers nervously, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

After a while, Li Youde shouted, "I found it, Lord. Come and take a look. This is the handwriting of Lu He, the steward of the Sakura Palace!"

Zhan Yan walked over quickly and saw the same handwriting as the confession letter.

He shouted angrily, "Where is Lu He?"

Lu He, who was standing next to Concubine Zhan, knelt on the ground with a plop. Her face turned pale and she said, "This servant is here!"

Zhan Yan coldly questioned, "Why did you forge a confession? Did you poison Eunuch Wang?"

There was a flash of intense struggle in Lu He's eyes, she knew she couldn't escape.

After hesitating for a moment, she kowtowed and replied, "I plead guilty. I did it all. I hate Eunuch Wang. He relied on his position as the head of the Inspection Chamber to deliberately make things difficult for me and often abused me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I framed him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly unbuttoned her clothes.

In full view of everyone, there were all kinds of horrifying purple whip marks.

Even on the chest, there were still many black teeth marks that had seeped pus.

Concubine Zhan's eyes widened in horror. She trembled and said, "Oh my God, Lu He, you suffered such inhumane abuse, why didn't you tell me? How could you take such a risk?"

Lu He's eyes were red as she replied, "I dare not. Eunuch Wang threatened me that if I uttered a single word, he would strip me naked and drown me in the toilet. I was afraid, so I had no choice but to endure his brutality!"

Zhan Yan pressed him, "Then why did you murder the imperial concubine?"

Lu He quickly denied it: "I didn't intend to murder the Imperial Concubine. I just wanted her to investigate the matter thoroughly and punish Eunuch Wang. Who would have thought that it was Miss Duo'er who wore the clothes without knowing the truth? She was burned alive. I was so scared that I wanted to put the blame on the Empress!"

Concubine Zhan gritted her teeth in anger: "Luhe, you, how could you do such a stupid thing? How embarrassed are you making me feel!"

Lu He knelt on the ground and kowtowed. She cried and said, "My Lady, I am sorry for you. I will die to atone for my sin. I hope you can help me apologize to Miss Duo'er!"

Without further hesitation, she took the golden hairpin and stabbed it into her heart.

"Puff!" The donated blood gushed out and she fell to the ground powerlessly.

Concubine Zhan rushed over, put her hand over her wound and screamed, "Someone, save her, save her!"

Blood flowed out from between her fingers and soon stained her white brocade dress.

Emperor Sheng An sighed helplessly, walked quickly to her and said, "My Lady, she is determined to die, she can't be saved!"

Concubine Zhan threw herself into his arms and sobbed, "Your Majesty, it's my fault. If I had discovered earlier that she was being bullied, she wouldn't have done such an extreme evil thing!"

Emperor Sheng An patted her back and said, "It's over. Take care of yourself!"

He winked at Li Youde, signaling him to drag the body away quickly.

Lin Yiwan didn't expect that Concubine Zhan had already found a way out. Although it was a bit forced, it was understandable after all.

However, the injuries on Lu He's body didn't seem fake, and I didn't know if it was really caused by Wang Neijian's abuse or something else.

After all, all the people involved are dead, and only the person who started it knows the truth.

By this time, Doctor Lin had already treated Zhan Duo'er's injuries. He frowned and said, "Thank goodness the Marquis put out the fire in time, so Miss Zhan's skin wasn't burned. However, half of her face is ruined!"
