Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle
Chapter 572 Giving poisonous wine
Three days later, rumors began to spread in Kyoto.
Li Chun came back hurriedly after going out shopping, "Miss, I went shopping today and found that many people were discussing the position of queen. They said that Xie Lianyi is the princess of Dayan and cannot be the queen of Daning."
"What does this have to do with them, really?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly stunned.
When she went to the palace to visit her aunt yesterday, her aunt was still worried about this matter. Many ministers in the court did not agree to make Xie Lianyi the queen, and this was the reason.
"Yeah, what does this have to do with them? It's naturally spread by someone with ulterior motives."
"Lichun, go check who spread the news."
Lichun nodded and put down the work in her hands, "I'll go right away!"
Li Chun rushed back in the afternoon, "Miss, it was Jiang Xiru! It was Jiang Xiru who spread the news!"
"She's really crazy! She's been kicked out of the Jiang family, but she's still restless! She's even going against us!"
Jiang Ningwan was not surprised to hear this answer.
Jiang Xiru was unwilling to fail like this.
She wanted to kill people and seize power in the Duke's Mansion, but was expelled from the Mansion and now covets the position of Queen.
"Miss, are we just going to let her go on like this?" Li Chun asked.
Jiang Ningwan thought thoughtfully, "Of course not, it's time to end this."
Jiang Xiru was expelled from the Duke's Mansion. Now that the Duke's Mansion no longer cares about her life or death, it will be much easier to deal with Jiang Xiru.
He went to court the next day.
While the ministers in the court were still debating the choice of empress, Jiang Ning came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Qin Chengqian and Jiang Xiru's child, Qin Huaijin, is not of royal blood! He's not even Jiang Xiru's own child!"
"Jiang Xiru paid for a child, disguised it as Qin Chengqian's son, and helped Qin Chengqian return to the palace from the imperial mausoleum! Now he is relying on this child to avoid death! This is truly a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, Manchao was shocked.
"Not of royal blood? How is that possible? General Jiang, could it be that you can't tolerate Jiang Xiru and are deliberately making this up?"
Jiang Ningwan calmly took out the evidence from her arms and presented it forward.
"Every word I say is true. I have verified it, and I also have the testimony of Huaijin's biological mother."
"Jiang Xiru and her mother lived in a villa on the outskirts of the city for a year. During that year, they were waiting for the woman to give birth to a child, so they specifically requested a boy! After buying him with a large sum of money, they disguised him as Qin Chengqian's flesh and blood."
After reading the evidence, Qin Wenli slammed the table in anger, "How ridiculous!"
"No wonder I felt like they didn't care about Huai Jin at all. It turns out this isn't their child at all!"
"How dare you use a child to bully the emperor! How audacious!"
Jiang Ningwan added, "Besides the crime of deceiving the emperor, Fan Ruoshuang's death and the murder of two people were also caused by Jiang Xiru instructing Xiang Sui to bribe the imperial physician."
"After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Xiru poisoned Duke Jiang with the intention of killing the Duke's wife and seizing the Jiang family's wealth."
"Every single one of these crimes is unforgivable!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.
Jiang Ningwan presented all the evidence.
No one doubted its authenticity anymore.
After reading it, Qin Wenli coldly ordered: "According to the laws of Daning, she should be executed. However, considering that she was once the daughter of the Duke of Jiang, I will give her a cup of poisoned wine."
"As for Huai Jin, the young son is innocent. He will remain in the palace for the time being while we find a suitable place for him."
All the officials shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
On that day, Jiang Xiru was arrested and forced to drink a cup of poisoned wine.
"It's all slander! Jiang Ningwan framed me!" Jiang Xiru collapsed and screamed, but no one was willing to listen to her.
After she drank the poisoned wine, the door was closed, leaving her alone in the darkness, waiting to die from the poison.
The poison took effect very quickly, and without much pain, the patient began to vomit blood.
"If I could do it again..."
She opened her mouth with a sob, but before she could finish her words she fell to the ground and died.
If she had the chance to do it again, she would definitely not lose!
……
Jiang Xiru died, but not many people cared. Even the Duke's Mansion did not make any movement.
Jiang Bingde's health had deteriorated since the poisoning. Although his life was not in danger, he had no energy to attend court and took leave for several months.
Fang Yunxin is in charge of all matters big and small in the mansion.
While the court was still arguing over the choice of queen, Xie Lianyi decided to adopt Huai Jin.
Although Huai Jin is not of royal blood, he has been in the palace for so long that it is difficult to find a more suitable place to settle down.
There is no trace of the biological mother.
Xie Lianyi adopted Huaijin and raised him as her own child.
This move moved many ministers in the court, and many ministers who opposed her becoming the queen stopped talking.
But there were still some ministers who firmly opposed it.
At this time, the Queen Mother stepped forward and said, "You gentlemen, for the sake of the country, have such concerns. But the Emperor trusts Lianyi, and I trust her too!"
"Looking across the entire capital, no woman is more suitable to be the queen than her! I will only recognize her as the queen!"
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor both stood on the same page regarding the selection of the Empress, which left some ministers with other ideas helpless.
Xie Lianyi eventually became the queen.
The ceremony of crowning the queen was extremely grand and magnificent.
After attending the palace banquet, everyone gathered at Yunshan and drank heartily.
Qin Huaizhao said with a smile: "It's a pity that Jiang Zhouye hasn't come back yet, so we're short of someone."
Ling Jinlan asked curiously, "Oh, right? Jiang Zhouye has been in Huainan for so long, why hasn't he returned yet? Is Ru Mengzui so difficult to investigate?"
Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what's going on over there. There's been no news."
"But he brought so many Dragon Guards with him, so he shouldn't be in any trouble."
Pei Xunzhi was eating happily and quickly replied, "He's fine. He wrote to me and said that the matter was rather difficult and he would be delayed for a while."
Everyone felt relieved now.
Continue drinking.
At this time, Qin Huaizhao hesitated and said, "I have good news that I haven't told you all."
Everyone looked at him and saw him and Ling Jinlan looking at each other. Ling Jinlan lowered her head shyly.
Everyone understood it immediately.
"Jinlan is three months pregnant."
"Before, everyone was busy and I was afraid you would be distracted, so I didn't tell you. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and Jinlan's baby is stable, I dare to tell you this good news!"
Hearing this, everyone was very happy.
He quickly raised his glass to Qin Huaizhao, "Congratulations!"
Pei Xunzhi asked, "Have you chosen a name?"
Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, how are we going to name it? If you're so anxious, why don't you just have one with Jiang Zhouye?"
Hearing this, Pei Xunzhi jokingly said, "I'm not in a hurry. The ones who should be anxious are you and the King of Chu, right? How many years have you two been married?"
"You couldn't have children before, but now there's no threat. Can you prepare to have one?"
"Otherwise, who will inherit your huge family business in the future?"
Jiang Ningwan quickly added a chicken drumstick and stuffed it into her mouth. "Wrong, wrong, I won't rush you!"
Several people were chatting happily.
Suddenly, a figure came from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw it was Song Jiaoyun.
