The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Emperor Taihe sighed again when he said this, "He has served you for many years, and I never realized that he harbored such great hatred in his heart!"

Emperor Taihe felt horrified at the thought that such a person had been lurking around him for many years.

Imperial Concubine Jiang said, "If he really did that, it would be terrifying. However, I don't think the palace maid's confession can be trusted."

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed at herself, "I don't know how many people outside are secretly cursing me for bringing disaster to the country and the people, and they can't wait to kill me.

Luo Zheng has been working for me all this time, and I think he has become a thorn in the eyes and bones of countless people, and is regarded as a traitor by them.

But I am your Majesty's woman after all. They dare not attack me directly, but they may not be afraid to attack Luo Zheng."

When Concubine Jiang said this, she suddenly knelt before Emperor Taihe and said, "Your Majesty, I am not trying to excuse Luo Zheng. I just feel that this matter is too strange.

Luo Zheng was no fool. If he truly had such a powerful enemy, he would not hesitate to enter the palace to seek revenge. How could such a scheming person reveal such an important transaction to a palace maid?

If the palace maid was really coerced by him and had to do things for him, how could she not feel resentment in her heart?

Therefore, I believe that the words of this palace maid cannot be trusted. Either she is hiding something, or... she is simply slandering me!

Emperor Taihe quickly helped Concubine Jiang up and pulled her to sit down. "My beloved concubine, there is no need to do this. I naturally believe you." Wang Zhi also said the same thing.

He was responsible for interrogating the palace maid, even though the palace maid kept saying that Luo Zheng would never bring back the miracle doctor and would even kill him.

But Wang Zhi also felt that it was suspicious that she, a palace maid coerced by Luo Zheng, knew so much.

"It is indeed very suspicious." Imperial Concubine Jiang said, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, could you please let me see that palace maid? I want to ask her in person."

Emperor Taihe did not refuse: "Then I will have someone bring her here right away."

Soon, the palace maid was dragged into the side hall.

The inner hall was Concubine Jiang's bedroom. In order to prevent the palace maid from dirtying the inner hall, she and Emperor Taihe met her in the side hall.

When the palace maid was brought over, she had already changed into clean clothes.

But it still couldn't hide her pale face.

Even after she got closer, Concubine Jiang could still smell the faint smell of blood and medicine on her.

She immediately guessed that the maid had not only been tortured but also seriously injured. Perhaps someone had given her medicine specifically to bring her here, or perhaps because the information she had revealed was so important.

Concubine Jiang curled her red lips. She didn't care who gave the medicine to the palace maid. She just wanted to know who was behind this woman?

She said calmly, "Lift your head."

The maid shuddered instantly and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up: "Slave...slave dare not..."

Imperial Concubine Jiang suddenly sneered: "I told you to raise your head, and you dare not even listen to me?"

The palace maid then raised her head cautiously, but only glanced quickly at Concubine Jiang and Emperor Taihe, and did not dare to look again, keeping her eyes lowered.

Imperial Concubine Jiang looked at her coldly, but she didn't press her any further. She only asked, "You said Luo Zheng threatened you with your family's lives to force you to work for him? And you also know about Luo Zheng's dealings with spies from the enemy country?"

"Yes...every word I said is true! If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I...I can swear! If I tell even a single lie, then...I will die a miserable death!"

"Oh, if you dare to slander Luo Zheng, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if you don't swear, you will not die a good death."

Concubine Jiang looked at the maid mockingly. "I'm asking you, how did you know that Luo Zheng had a powerful enemy who was also a member of the royal family? And how did you know about Luo Zheng's dealings with spies from the enemy country? How could he have told you such a secret?"

The maid trembled all over and burst into tears: "This servant... This servant didn't know it at first, it was... He said it out loud after he got drunk, and this servant heard it clearly.
