Chapter 148 Such Justice Cannot Exist
"Empress, please save my mother!" Li Suining stood up and ran over, hugging Shangguan Jinglan's calf.
She raised her little face, and her cute round face was full of tears, which was very heartbreaking to watch.
Shangguan Jinglan took a deep breath and said with a hint of reproach, "You little idiot, do you see clearly? That person over there is your mother!"
"No, no, they are all my mother, they are all my mother." The crying of the children is particularly heartbreaking.
"Empress," Wei Ranzhu stepped forward at the right moment, kneeling respectfully and saying slowly, "Madam Jiang is truly too pitiful. Please... help her."
Shangguan Jinglan stood there motionless. She had heard the rumors about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but... Zuo Shanzhang was the Prime Minister after all, and the Emperor trusted him very much. If she helped Jiang Yinyue today, would Zuo Shanzhang do anything bad to the Crown Prince?
At this moment, she was not only the queen, but also a mother who had to consider her son.
"Empress," Li Suining said in a baby voice, "You are the mother of the world, aren't you? We are all your children. What mother wouldn't love her own children? How could you bear to see your daughter fall to this state?"
She shook Shangguan Jinglan's calf vigorously, "Empress, please help us!"
These words completely shook Shangguan Jinglan. What Xiaotuanzi said was right. She was not only the mother of the empress dowager, but also the mother of the entire Dajin. She was the biggest supporter of all women. If she didn't do something for Jiang Yinyue today, then she was afraid that there would be more and more Jiang Yinyue in Dajin.
"Okay!" She finally made up her mind, bent down, and picked up the little girl. "Little Suining, be good. Go back to your mother and keep an eye on her for me."
"Yes." Little Dumpling was overjoyed. He wiped his tears vigorously and turned to run to Jiang Yinyue. "Mother, did you hear that? The Queen is willing to help us. We have hope."
"Well, there is hope! There is hope!" Jiang Yinyue nodded weakly.
Shangguan Jinglan looked at Wen Yuanzhang again, "Doctor Wen, you go over there too and keep an eye on Madam Jiang. Don't let her make any mistakes here in Kunning Palace."
"Yes, Madam!" Wen Yuanzhang immediately came to Jiang Yinyue's side, took out a pill and handed it to her, "Madam Jiang, take this first. It can temporarily protect your body."
"Thank you, Doctor Wen." Jiang Yinyue swallowed the pill with difficulty. The moment she tilted her head back to swallow, a tear quickly ran across the corner of her eye.
She knew that they had succeeded in this first step.
In fact, Xiao Wu had already sent people to check the composition of the poison purchased by Qian and found the antidote. However, Jiang Yinyue felt that if she could vomit blood on the spot, the queen would definitely feel sympathy.
So, Bai Yunfeng found Wen Yuanzhang and researched another antidote in advance, and Jiang Yinyue had already taken it on the way here.
The Soul-Breaking Powder purchased by Qian is a chronic poison that will take at least three or four hours to cause death. It is obvious that they intended to let Jiang Yinyue die in the Prime Minister's Mansion after leaving the palace.
The antidote researched by Wen Yuanzhang can temporarily remove half of the poison and at the same time make Jiang Yinyue vomit blood immediately. As for the remaining poison, as long as Jiang Yinyue takes the remaining antidote within an hour, it will not harm his internal organs and life.
The pill that Wen Yuanzhang just gave Jiang Yinyue was the other half of the antidote.
After Jiang Yinyue took the pill, she felt her stomach hurt less, but she still had to act a little weak and make full use of Shangguan Jinglan's heart as the mother of the country to achieve the final victory.
At this time, someone came up and pulled Qian and Lou aside.
Both of them were pale at this time. It was obvious that they could not escape the responsibility for Jiang Yinyue's poisoning, especially Qian, whose face was full of despair and she looked like she had lost her soul.
But Lou didn't. She knew that things were not over yet and she still had hope. Jiang Yinyue... couldn't win!
She no longer cried and begged for mercy, but waited quietly, waiting for Jiang Yinyue to fall into the trap she set and be doomed forever.
"Madam Jiang," Shangguan Jinglan finally spoke again slowly, "Tell me, what grievances do you have that require me to resolve for you?"
"Empress, I want to sue the current Prime Minister Zuo Shanzhang and divorce him in the name of his wife!" Jiang Yinyue, supported by Li Suining and Wen Yuanzhang, walked to the center of the hall and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
However, these words quickly caused an uproar, and even Shangguan Jinglan was shocked and speechless for a moment. She could guess that Jiang Yinyue might sue Zuo Shanzhang, but she never thought that she wanted a divorce.
She was silent for a long moment before she spoke in a deep voice, "Jiang Yinyue, do you know what you just said? In our Great Jin, there has never been a case where a woman voluntarily asked to leave. Have you... thought it through?"
"Empress, I have thought it through a long time ago." Jiang Yinyue's voice remained without hesitation. "Zuo Shanzhang, as the prime minister, my husband, and the father of my children, has committed too many unforgivable crimes. I must divorce him!"
Shangguan Jinglan frowned even deeper. She realized that she had taken on a hot potato. But now, so many concubines in the harem and ministers' wives were watching her. If she backed down at this time, wouldn't she become a laughing stock?
She thought about it for a moment and quickly made up her mind. She couldn't directly refuse Jiang Yinyue, so she could only find an opportunity to refute her when Jiang Yinyue gave a reason.
"Alright, since you say the Left Prime Minister has committed so many grave faults, do you have any evidence?" Shangguan Jinglan spoke slowly and with dignity, "If this is true, I will naturally seek justice for you."
"Empress, today, I am going to sue Zuo Shanzhang for four major crimes. No matter which one he commits, he is no longer worthy of being my husband." Jiang Yinyue's eyes were slightly red and her body was shaking slightly. She had come to this point, and no matter what the final result was, she had no regrets.
Little Tuanzi clung tightly to Jiang Yinyue, using his warm little body to give his mother strength.
She didn't know what kind of accident would happen today, and she was still uneasy deep down in her heart, but her determination to help her mother was unwavering.
"Okay, tell me one by one." Shangguan Jinglan spoke again. She also understood that Jiang Yinyue came prepared today.
However, as the daughter of the Grand Tutor, how could Jiang Yinyue be so foolish? Just based on her status as a woman, she sued her husband and even asked for a divorce. It was obvious that she wanted justice from the world.
Such justice...how could it exist?
This woman is so stupid!
"Your Majesty, I want to expose Zuo Shanzhang's first crime: instructing his concubines to poison his wife!"
Jiang Yinyue suddenly turned around and pointed at Lou, "It was Zuo Shanzhang who instructed Lou and Qian to poison me today!"
