At this point, she laughed sarcastically, "Since the assassin had already poisoned me before, how could King Zhou just sit there and wait for death without thoroughly investigating the entire palace?
It wasn't long after this incident that assassins appeared again in the Zhou Palace and poisoned Yang Xiu and Yang Shu. I cannot believe that the Zhou Palace would be so careless."
Emperor Taihe nodded. "My beloved concubine is right. If the Zhou Palace was truly so careless, how could the Zhou King be alive today? This excuse is simply full of loopholes!"
After saying this, he curled his lips in disdain, looking a little disgusted.
It was natural that he had no good feelings towards his uncle, the King of Zhou. He had disliked him before, and now that he was worried about him rebelling, it was even more impossible for him to like him!
Concubine Jiang saw what he was thinking, frowned, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Fang Shuo's confession? He said that the King of Zhou was planning a rebellion.
I am worried that if the King of Zhou truly has such intentions, he will most likely use the deaths of Yang Xiu and Yang Shu as an excuse to throw dirty water on Your Majesty and use it to attack Your Majesty!"
Emperor Taihe's expression instantly turned extremely grim. "How dare he! I only demoted Yang Xiu and Yang Shu to commoners, but didn't kill them. What right does he have to throw dirty water on me? Those two died in the Zhou Palace in Gusu, not in the capital. How can this dirty water be thrown on me?"
Imperial Concubine Jiang hurriedly helped him calm down, then said helplessly, "I don't understand these things. I just read some storybooks and wrote them down based on my feelings. If I'm wrong, Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me."
Emperor Taihe was originally furious, but after being coaxed by her, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated a lot, and he said with great interest: "My beloved concubine, if you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."
Concubine Jiang then continued, "I read a storybook and found a sentence in it that I think makes a lot of sense. As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone, you will always find a pretext.
If the King of Zhou really has that intention, when he takes action in the future, he will naturally find a bunch of excuses for himself and throw dirty water on Your Majesty to prove that he is not a traitor.
Both Yang Xiu and Yang Shu were demoted to commoners, practically crippled. Furthermore, Yang Shu's reputation and disfigured appearance made her unsuitable for marriage.
The brothers and sisters' existence in this world would be a burden to the King of Zhou. However, they were the King's legitimate sons and daughters after all, and if they were murdered, it would become an excuse for the King of Zhou to rebel.
The King of Zhou had just released the news that they had been poisoned by an assassin, presumably not intending to act now. But when he did act in the future, he would certainly not miss this perfect excuse to let his legitimate son and daughter die in vain.
Therefore, I suspect that if King Zhou takes action in the future, he will definitely frame this matter on Your Majesty or me, and slander Your Majesty for being bewitched by me, the evil concubine.
Even the scandals Yang Shu committed would probably be blamed on me. After all, she caused trouble in the palace, so it would be reasonable to say that I framed her maliciously.
The news released by King Zhou, saying that the two were poisoned by an assassin, was probably a preparation for the future. After all, the whole world now knows that there is a powerful medicine doctor in the capital.
Moreover, it was I who asked Luo Zheng to invite this miraculous doctor back. If I say that she was coerced and bribed by me and obeyed my orders, people will definitely believe it.
By then, I'm afraid even the Chen family's affairs will be turned upside down by King Zhou, who will say that I was jealous and couldn't tolerate Chen Huan as the Queen, so I deliberately killed her. And when His Majesty finds out, in order to protect me, he will deliberately accuse the Chen family and unjustly kill everyone in the Chen family..."
When she said this, Emperor Taihe was furious again: "He dares!"
He gritted his teeth and glared, but did not continue.
Emperor Taihe knew very well that King Zhou was very likely to do so.
He has studied history books, so how could he not know what those traitors did?
