Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 547

The Seventh Prince's Residence.

When Shen Lingjun heard about what happened to Huo Sizhen at the Qionglin Banquet, she couldn't help but laugh, but she also felt a little sorry for the unlucky scholar who was innocently implicated.

This will probably leave a psychological scar for the rest of my life.

What happened to that third-place scholar afterward?

Mo Zhonggui shrugged: "It's definitely impossible for me to stay in Kyoto anymore. I've been sent to take up a post far away in the south."

The third-ranked scholar absolutely hated Huo Sizhen. Mo Zhonggui planned to take advantage of this and extend an olive branch to the third-ranked scholar later, helping him to win him over as a way of compensating him.

Shen Lingjun then asked, "What's Huo Sizhen's reaction now?"

Mo Zhonggui: "Naturally, they are trying every means to make a final counterattack. However, I think Huo Tingsheng is not stupid and will guess Huo Sizhen's reaction. Now they are just waiting to find a good reason to remove Huo Sizhen from his position as crown prince."

He laughed and said, "This is the time for us to step in again, to help Huo Tingsheng and give him a reason."

......

A few days later, a major incident occurred in the Imperial Household Department of the palace.

Among the fragrances on Huo Tingsheng's clothes, they even discovered the scent of ghost blood.

According to the imperial physician, long-term use of this Ghost Blood Incense will weaken the body and cause illness. If a person's constitution is not good to begin with, they may die from the illness within two or three months.

The Imperial Household Department was extremely careful with everything Huo Tingsheng used. Before the Ghost Blood Incense could even touch a single hair of Huo Tingsheng's head, it was discovered.

The Imperial Household Department immediately reported to Huo Tingsheng and began a secret investigation into the source of the Ghost Blood Incense.

On the other hand, Huo Sizhen was completely unaware of this matter. He only received a message from Cheng Wu that the Ghost Blood Incense he had given her had been used up because she had increased the dosage.

Huo Sizhen had indeed heard these past few days that Huo Jinghuai's illness had worsened and that he hadn't been to the Ministry of Justice for two days.

He had just received a message from Fu Shiyan, which was good news. Fu Shiyan had used the formula he provided to raise Gu gu and make medicine, and it had indeed suppressed the toxicity of Yu Chen poison.

Fu Shiyan agreed to take on his mission and begin plotting the assassination of the king.

Huo Sizhen was overjoyed. If "Naihe" really succeeded, he could turn his life around!

Huo Sizhen immediately ordered another batch of Ghost Blood Incense to be delivered.

Regardless, he still needed to get rid of "Huo Jinghuai." He suspected that Huo Jinghuai's outburst at the Qionglin Banquet was a scheme to frame him. Such a cunning and secretive character was a huge hidden danger if left alive.

Huo Sizhen did not meet with "Cheng Wu" directly this time, but sent his trusted subordinate to deliver the Ghost Blood Incense to her.

Just as he was still full of anticipation, wondering how Fu Shiyan would carry out his regicide, a group of Imperial Guards suddenly rushed into the East Palace!

Huo Sizhen was shocked: "What are you doing!"

Leading the Imperial Guards was the Fourth Prince, who looked at Huo Sizhen with a truly heartbroken expression.
