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

Chapter 291 Shen Zhinian's plan to tell the truth (1 reward points plus more)

If nothing is found out, Concubine Liang can turn around and charge Shen Zhinian with slander!

Now it was Jiang Wange and Concubine Liu who were fighting each other, and Shen Nanqiao and her suspicions were basically cleared. In the eyes of others, she was even a victim.

Taking the risk, is it worth it?

Concubine Liu cannot fall down now.

Moreover, Shen Zhinian always felt that compared to the enemies in the open, the poisonous snakes hiding in the dark were the most terrifying!

Concubine Liang is one of the four concubines and has such a good reputation in the harem. It is too difficult to find her fault and step on her!

Even if it's risky... Shen Zhinian wants to give it a try!

To the people of the Zhenguo Mansion, only the daughter of the Dingguo Mansion could compete with them! After Queen Jiang passed away, they wanted to push Jiang Wange to the throne, and the biggest obstacle was Concubine Liu.

If we don't get rid of her now, when will we?

Led by the Duke of Zhenguo, the officials of this faction stood up one after another, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, whether Xiaowei Zicheng admits it or not, Dongyan has a close relationship with him, and this fact cannot be changed."

"Dongyan is just a little maid, she has no grudges against the masters in the harem, how could she be so bold as to poison Liu Changzai and then put the blame on others? This must be the Imperial Concubine behind this!"

"The Empress is seriously ill, and the Imperial Concubine is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces. However, she is so vicious and jealous of others. This is intolerable!"

"If you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the whole world? Your Majesty, I beg you to severely punish the concubine and clean up the harem!"

"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Imperial Concubine and purge the harem!"

"..."

Duke Dingguo and the court officials who were attached to him naturally argued for Concubine Liu!

However, since the emperor ascended the throne, the empress came from the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion has been slightly superior to the Dingguo Mansion. Now that Concubine Wen is so favored, coupled with the most unfavorable evidence, it points to Concubine Liu...

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Concubine Liu.

At other times, when the explanation was too unclear, they could only abandon the car to save the king. They said that all this was done by Xiao Weizi without their knowledge, and Concubine Liu and Duke Dingguo's Mansion were completely unaware.

But the premise for doing so is... It's not that the emperor can't see through this clumsy trick, but for various reasons, he doesn't want to delve into it further, so he stops there.

But today, the concubines and civil and military officials are all here. It is impossible to cover up the fact that a concubine was poisoned at a royal banquet by asking a eunuch in charge to confess.

Concubine Liu was the most favored concubine in the harem and had always been arrogant. She had never fallen into such a passive situation.

She subconsciously looked at the emperor, then smiled sadly.

In the past, Concubine Liu had absolute confidence that as long as she explained something she had not done, His Majesty would never let anyone wrongly accuse her.

but now……

After seeing the emperor’s favoritism towards Concubine Wen and how Concubine Wen repeatedly slapped her in the face, Concubine Liu no longer had the confidence to do so...

She could only bite her lip and wait for the results of the interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment.

She believed that it was the slave girl Dongyan who deliberately seduced Xiaoweizi. Xiaoweizi had never been involved in any evil deeds with Dongyan.

But if Xiao Weizi says these words, will others believe it?

Will Concubine Wen and the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion let her go?

Your Majesty...will you believe her again?

As expected, the interrogation results brought by Su Quanye were the same as what Concubine Liu had guessed.

Even though the people from Duke Dingguo's Mansion argued their case, the Duke Zhenguo's faction still held on to Concubine Liu!

After all, the Ministry of Punishment did not find any evidence of Dong Yan's relationship with Jiang Wange. In the entire palace, Dong Yan had a close relationship with Xiao Weizi alone, and Concubine Liu had a motive to frame Concubine Rou.

If the murderer isn't Concubine Liu, who else could it be?

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion took advantage of the victory and tried hard to get the emperor to punish Concubine Liu!

Nangong Xuanyu's expression was stern, and there was murderous intent in his eyes.

How dare a minister force the emperor! The Zhenguogong Mansion is indeed lawless!

But it's not all bad.

In the past, the emperor knew which officials in the court were the Duke of Zhenguo's men, but there were still some fish that slipped through the net and he did not find them.

Today, perhaps they thought that if they defeated Concubine Liu, they could join forces with the Duke of Zhenguo to send Concubine Wen to the throne! These people jumped out one after another like jackals smelling blood.

very good!

The emperor memorized their faces in his heart.

Just when the atmosphere was frozen, Shen Zhinian suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say..."

There was a glimmer of suspicion in Concubine Liu's eyes when she looked at her.

She had always known that her alliance with Concubine Rou was very fragile. Could it be that Concubine Rou was going to turn against her at this moment and step on her together with Concubine Wen?

No.

If this is the case, there will be no one in the harem who can restrain the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and Concubine Rou will definitely die. She will not do such a stupid thing.

But the plan of the person behind the scenes was so meticulous that even the eunuch in charge of Yongshou Palace was included in the plan. Concubine Liu really couldn't think of any way for Concubine Rou to break the situation.

When Nangong Xuanyu's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian, his expression remained normal, but a hint of subtle tenderness flashed in the depths of his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Shen Zhinian naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to say that she had already asked Xiao Mingzi to secretly investigate to see if there were any details that had been missed.

Isn't this revealing your cards to others?

"I was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces in the past, and I dare not neglect anything. I have asked about everything that I was responsible for, no matter how big or small. But there is only one thing..."

At this point, Shen Zhinian gave Concubine Liang a complicated look: "I have not been managing the six palaces for a long time, so I am not familiar with every rule in the palace. But I think that Concubine Liang is an old man by your side, and she will definitely do things right. Therefore, even if I have doubts in my heart, I should not rashly ask about the things that Concubine Liang is responsible for."

"But today... it involves the innocence of the Imperial Concubine. For the moment, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Concubine Liu asked anxiously, "What's the matter?! Concubine Rou, tell me quickly!"

She wanted to know who put the blame on her?

Liang Fei inexplicably felt a sense of panic, and her brows slightly frowned for a moment, but she always maintained a gentle smile on her face: "Although I have served Your Majesty for a long time, I dare not say that I am familiar with all the things in the six palaces. If Sister Roupin finds anything wrong, you can tell me."

Although the emperor would eventually eliminate the Duke Dingguo Mansion, he had never thought of moving against Concubine Liu at this time. Moreover, he also wanted to know what this matter had to do with Concubine Liang.

Shen Zhinian sighed: "I have discovered before that the eunuchs who go out of the palace to buy goods often help the palace maids bring some handicrafts to sell."

"Although this is against palace rules, I am grateful for the hardship faced by the palace servants. I will turn a blind eye to some innocuous things."

"Secondly, the palace maids who go out of the palace to purchase goods are all managed by Concubine Liang, so it is not convenient for me to interfere."

Concubine Liu asked again: "What does this have to do with what happened today?"
