Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 318 Sun Changzai clears suspicion

But for Nangong Xuanyu, it would have been fine if she had hidden the fact that Concubine De was pregnant from others, but she actually kept it a secret from him from the beginning to the end.

Doesn't this mean that in her heart she doesn't trust him at all?

The authority of the emperor cannot be offended. Although Nangong Xuanyu did not care about this matter and gave her due honor because of the contribution of Concubine De in giving birth to the third prince, he still had a knot in his heart.

However, at this moment, after hearing the imperial physician's words and seeing Concubine De wiping her tears, the emperor still felt a trace of pity in his heart.

Thinking about how the Third Prince had suffered so much when he was still in his mother's womb, and now that he was just one month old and someone was trying to murder him, Nangong Xuanyu's eyes burned with anger!

If it was someone else involved, he would have ordered the Ministry of Punishment to take him away for interrogation long ago!

However, Sun Changzai was quite respectable in front of him and was also on good terms with Nian Nian. Nian Nian was always kind, and if he dealt with Sun Changzai rashly, she would be sad.

Thinking of this, the emperor's tone was cold, but he did not get angry. Sun Changzai said: "You gave the drum to the third prince. What's your explanation for this?"

The gift she carefully selected was placed together with the gift from her sister Concubine Rou and sent to Chengqian Palace at the same time.

Sun Changzai never thought that it was Sister Roupin who harmed her. After all, if Sister Roupin had such intention, why would she go to so much trouble to help her gain favor?

This can only mean that someone has tampered with the matter and wants to use her as a breakthrough point to frame Sister Roupin!

She was in trouble, and there was still Sister Roupin to save her. If Sister Roupin was also involved, no one would be able to save them.

No matter what, she couldn't involve Sister Roupin!

Sun Changzai was just about to deny it, but if that didn't work, he would just grit his teeth and admit it!

However, Shen Zhinian spoke before she could say anything, "Your Majesty, this matter is really a misunderstanding of Sister Sun."

"I am pregnant, so I am very careful about the baby's safety. Therefore, when Zhongcui Palace sent the gift from Chengqian Palace, I deliberately asked two imperial doctors to cross-check it and confirm that there was no problem before I packed it and gave it to the Third Prince."

"Sister Sun's drum is also among them."

"Unless someone opened the box in advance and tampered with the drum. Otherwise, the drum must have been stained with makeup after it arrived at Chengqian Palace..."

Madam Xiao bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the gifts from the Queen and Concubine Sun were all prepared in front of the two imperial physicians. There were many people coming and going along the way, and there were many palace servants watching, so no one had the opportunity to open them."

"All gifts that arrived at Chengqian Palace were registered and stored by special personnel. It is even more impossible for anyone to open them in advance."

In other words, the problem was not with Zhongcui Palace, but with Chengqian Palace.

The emperor certainly believed what Shen Zhinian said, but in order to silence the crowd, he still said, "Summon the two imperial doctors."

"Yes!"

Soon, Tang Luochuan and another imperial physician arrived. After understanding the situation, they both confirmed that what Shen Zhinian said was true.

The suspicion on Chang Sun has been completely cleared!

The emperor looked down at her and said gently, "I know you have no bad intentions. Get up."

After all, birds of a feather flock together. How could a palace concubine who is on good terms with Nian Nian have malicious intentions?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Changzai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief!

No wonder Sister Roupin told her last night to take the gift to the main hall and send it to Chengqian Palace today. It turned out that Sister Roupin was afraid that someone would tamper with it, so she took precautions in advance!

Sun Changzai simply couldn't believe it. If it weren't for her sister Roupin being cautious enough, she would have been finished by now!

Of course, the most important thing is that she trusts Sister Roupin enough! Otherwise, if she had any doubts last night and did not do what Sister Roupin said, she would be in trouble today...

Tang Luochuan lowered his head, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.

Concubine Rou was already having a hard time being pregnant. Why did these women in the harem plot against her again and again?

He has recently been researching some colorless and odorless poisons, and he really wants to...

However, Tang Luochuan knew that there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. If he really poisoned the imperial concubine, there would definitely be traces left.

It wouldn't matter if I died at that time, but it would also implicate Concubine Rou.

But... he really wanted to clear the obstacles for Concubine Rou...

Led by Jiang Wange, the concubines from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion looked at each other with unhappy expressions.

Jiang Wange curled her lips, feeling very discouraged.

This woman Shen Zhinian is still so cunning!

She had made all the necessary preparations beforehand, so she should have just said it out loud earlier, to make those of them who were directing suspicion toward her look stupid!

Concubine Liu glanced at Concubine De nonchalantly and sneered, "With such a big commotion in Chengqian Palace, I really thought someone in the palace was trying to murder the Third Prince. It turns out you are the ones who are crying thief!"

Concubine De felt a little aggrieved, but she did not argue with Concubine Liu. She just said gently, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I have already said that since this matter has not caused a big disaster, let's just let it go, so as not to mobilize a large army..."

It was precisely because Concubine De had always had an attitude of keeping things quiet, and Concubine Wen was fanning the flames, and because His Majesty was concerned about the Third Prince, that things gradually became a matter of escalation.

So even if the problem occurred in Chengqian Palace, no one suspected that Concubine De directed and acted out this drama herself.

At this point, things had nothing to do with Shen Zhinian anymore. She and Sun Changzai stood aside and watched the show quietly.

Shen Zhinian always felt that this matter would not end so easily...

Nangong Xuanyu said coldly: "If this is the case, it means that they are from Chengqian Palace and are not serving the Third Prince wholeheartedly. Then we should replace them with a new batch!"

Will the wet nurses, nannies, etc. who were replaced by Your Majesty’s golden words have a good place to go?

Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Please calm down! We will do our best to serve the Third Prince in the future and will not dare to be careless in the slightest! Please give us another chance!"

Concubine De frowned in pity and pleaded for them: "Your Majesty, since the birth of the Third Prince, these palace servants have been quite dedicated in taking care of him. Even if they have no merits, they have worked hard."

"If we punish and replace them all because of what happened today, and word gets out, it will inevitably make the royal family appear cruel and inhumane. And the Third Prince has become accustomed to the care of the wet nurses. If we suddenly replace them with a new group of people, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt."

"Besides, the Third Prince is still young, and I want to do good deeds for him. Even if there is a mistake, we can find out who was negligent and punish him."

Every word De Fei said made sense, so Nangong Xuanyu naturally wouldn't refuse: "Li Changde, order someone to check!"

"Slave, you obey!"

Shen Zhinian's eyes lit up slightly.

Here it comes! The back-up plan is finally here!
