Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

After returning to the palace, Jiang Ningwan went to change her clothes first and took off the bloody clothes.

I went to take a look at the room where the murder had taken place. It had been cleaned up and the bloody smell had almost dissipated.

Everyone in the palace had gathered in the main hall, and Jiang Ningwan also hurried over.

Unexpectedly, he met Qin Beihuang who had just returned from outside, and the two of them entered the hall together.

Qin Jianjian pulled Lu Qingheng aside and whispered, "Sister-in-law, look, I didn't lie to you. She really did use Youmengxiang to seduce my brother!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Youmengxiang?

Everyone who knew about this fragrance was secretly shocked.

"Jianzhu, what nonsense are you talking about? I just met Miss Jiang at the door." Qin Beihuang scolded hurriedly and couldn't help but look at Lu Qingheng's expression.

Lu Qingheng had a gloomy face and looked obviously unhappy.

"Brother, you don't have to cover up for Jiang Ningwan. She was the shameless seducer. It's her fault!" Qin Jianjian said loudly.

Qin Jianjian's words were so harsh that even the Queen Mother couldn't help but notice.

"What is Youmengxiang? Qin Jianjian, go forward and answer." The Queen Mother said in an unhappy tone.

Qin Jianjian was startled, and quickly stood up and knelt forward, "Reporting to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, Jiang Ningwan is wearing the Youmeng Fragrance, which is a popular alluring fragrance in brothels. She intends to seduce my brother!"

"Everyone in the palace gathered here immediately, but Jiang Ningwan was nowhere to be seen. She must have gone to look for my brother secretly. They came back together!"

Jiang Ningwan frowned.

She brought this Youmengxiang to the palace, originally intending to use it on Mo Yuanxing, and kill him with the beauty trap when she had no choice. However, she didn't expect that Mo Yuanxing was too arrogant and could be fooled again.

The Youmengxiang was of no use.

She didn't expect that Qin Jianjian would seize on this matter to slander her.

Seducing Qin Beihuang? How ridiculous.

The emperor's expression was grim. "Jiang Ningwan, is this true? Did you bring Youmengxiang?"

Jiang Ningwan defended herself, "After tonight's banquet, Qin Beihuang and I haven't met at all. I've completely severed all ties with him. Qin Jianjian slandered my reputation publicly out of personal vendetta. I beg Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

Qin gradually became anxious, "Don't answer irrelevant questions, the emperor is asking about You Mengxiang!"

"It must be on you!"

Qin Jianjian immediately rushed over and wanted to search him.

During the argument, the box of Youmengxiang fell to the ground.

The crisp sound immediately made the hall quiet, and everyone looked at the exquisite box on the ground in surprise.

Qin Jianjian snatched it first and held it up high, "See? This is Youmengxiang, the incense from the brothel!"

Seeing Qin Jianjian's actions, Qin Beihuang's face turned pale. "Miss Jiang and I haven't met tonight. I was just searching for black wolves in the forest. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Hearing this, Qin Jian pointed at Jiang Ningwan and attacked, "If she's not trying to seduce my brother, then maybe she's trying to seduce the emperor!"

"How could such a thing appear in the palace?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Ningwan with strange eyes.

What girl from a decent family would carry such disgusting things?

The emperor couldn't bear to watch, and said sternly, "Jiang Ningwan, do you have anything to say?"

The Queen Mother looked at her nervously, expecting her to make some excuses.

However, Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms tightly and gritted her teeth, "Your Highness has nothing to say."

Qin Jianjian took the opportunity to curse: "Admit it! You used this Youmengxiang to seduce men! Shameless! Despicable!"

Qin Beihuang also looked at Jiang Ningwan with contempt. It turned out that flying onto the branch was Jiang Ningwan's purpose tonight.

Jiang Ningwan was so overwhelmed by the sharp and harsh words that she almost resorted to violence.

But at this moment, a cold voice came——

"This box of Youmengxiang is mine."

When the King of Chu slowly walked forward in a wheelchair, everyone was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

"What? Yours? Shuangchi, this Youmengxiang is for women." The empress dowager couldn't help but remind him.

Qin Shuangchi's expression was calm as he said calmly, "The box is Youmengxiang's, but it contains ointment for treating external injuries. We'll know the answer after asking the imperial physician to examine it."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up and she quickly ordered: "Call the imperial physician!"

Soon, the imperial physician arrived, took the box from Qin Jianjian's hand, opened it, smelled it, and immediately confirmed it.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this is indeed a top-notch medicine for external injuries, not Youmengxiang."

Qin Jianjian's face turned pale in an instant, he couldn't believe it. "Impossible! It's just trauma medicine, why put it in a Youmengxiang box!"

"The imperial physician is protecting Jiang Ningwan!"

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Even if I had ten heads, I would not dare to deceive you."

Qin Shuangchi slowly explained, "Brother Your Majesty, I just mentioned that I was assassinated by thieves. In fact, before coming to the palace, my ointment was tampered with, so I resorted to this desperate measure and used Youmengxiang's box to store the external medicine."

"Jiang Ningwan bandaged my brother's wound tonight, so the ointment is with her."

"Perhaps Jiang Ningwan didn't tell the truth out of concern for my reputation, wanting to conceal it for me."

"But since this concerns her reputation, I must explain it clearly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly understood.

The Queen Mother also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Shuangchi with heartache, "So that's how it is. It was just a misunderstanding. He was so cautious when being assassinated, and yet he still caused such a commotion."

As he said this, he glanced at Qin Jianjian with a sharp look.

Seeing the situation reversed, Jiang Ningwan smiled bitterly with a dim look in her eyes. "My reputation doesn't matter. I'm used to being slandered anyway, and it's not just today."

The empress dowager felt very distressed because of the bitterness and grievance she felt.

"Qin Jianjian is full of foul language and is arguing in front of His Majesty. How did Princess Yi raise you?"

"Qin Beihuang, Lu Qingheng, as brother and sister-in-law, how do you control her words and actions?"

"I think it's necessary to punish her severely! Only in this way can she learn her lesson and learn the rules!"

The emperor agreed and said, "Your Majesty is right. Qin Jianjian will be handed over to you for disposal."

Qin Jianjian's expression suddenly changed, and he was very unconvinced. "They are lying. Before coming to the palace, I saw You Mengxiang on Jiang Ningwan!"

The emperor looked furious and shouted, "Enough!"

Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng also knelt beside her, holding Qin Jianjian's arm and telling her not to speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at them with disdain. "How dare you contradict me? Qin Jianjian will be dragged away and slapped thirty times! He will also be grounded for a month and punished by copying the "Legal Rules for Women" twenty times!"

"Princess Yi and Lu Qingheng copied the sutra twenty times, and Qin Beihuang was fined half a month's salary."

Soon, Qin Jianjian was dragged away, still shouting that he was wronged.

Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng didn't dare to say a word and only sat back in their seats after getting the Queen Mother's permission.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi inadvertently met each other's eyes, and Jiang Ningwan expressed gratitude with her eyes.

Long before the body was thrown away, the King of Chu saw her Youmengxiang and asked her to get rid of it, otherwise Qin would gradually make a big fuss about it.

Jiang Ningwan immediately came up with a plan to teach Qin Jianjian a lesson.

So the King of Chu contributed his own ointment to replace the Youmengxiang.

What just happened was all a plan that the two of them had discussed.

The cooperation is quite good!

Just as he turned back to his seat, Qin Shuangchi's voice suddenly rang out again—

"Mother, Brother Emperor, I want to marry Jiang Ningwan."
