Chapter 18 An even greater crime



"My daughter has always respected Consort Shu, so how could she possibly plot against her?"

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. Please investigate thoroughly!"

"This old minister only has one daughter, Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

Mu Qianqian sneered inwardly.

[My daughter?]

So this is Consort Zhuang's father.

His face is thicker than a city wall!

[Don't you have any idea how your precious daughter managed to get into my father's service?]

[If she hadn't bribed the eunuch guarding the Hall of Fragrance to add aphrodisiac to the incense.]

I'm afraid your scheming daughter will never get into the emperor's bed in this lifetime.

How dare they mention my mother!

Stop with the crocodile tears and feigned compassion.

She's nothing more than someone who climbed to the top by stepping on those who treated her like a sister.

Her current fate is simply a consequence of her actions.

My father sparing her life is already a great act of mercy.

【how? 】

Is this tendency to cry without shedding tears hereditary?

Mu Qianqian grew angrier the more she thought about it, until her whole body trembled with anger.

However, her heartfelt words startled Emperor Yuanwu.

What?

Aphrodisiac!

It should be known that aphrodisiacs were a major taboo in the Yuan Dynasty's harem.

This kind of thing not only harms the emperor's body, but long-term use will also make the body weak and addictive. Before the Yuan Dynasty, there were emperors who died young because of the incense used by their concubines.

Which lady in the palace uses this kind of thing?

Once discovered, the punishment ranges from being banished to a life of hardship to being sentenced to death.

Emperor Yuanwu naturally believed what his daughter said.

It's just that so much time has passed.

There is no evidence.

It wouldn't be appropriate to use this matter to punish the concubine.

Just as Emperor Yuanwu was feeling somewhat bewildered, Mu Qianqian began to mutter to herself again.

[Father, search quickly! The sleeping potion is hidden in a secret compartment in Consort Zhuang's dressing table.]

The key was hidden under the straw mat on her bed.

Hurry up!

Mu Qianqian remembered that in the original novel, the reason why Consort Zhuang was favored was because she kept using bewitching incense to seduce Emperor Yuanwu.

However, Consort Zhuang, relying on the Emperor's favor, was arrogant and haughty.

She offended many people throughout the palace and also aroused a lot of jealousy.

As many people hate her, there are just as many eyes watching her.

Later, one of her maids was punished with a cane for making a mistake.

The maid, still furious, told the Empress about how Consort Zhuang had used a drugging incense on the Emperor after her injuries healed.

The Empress has not yet made this public.

Instead, the palace maid who exposed her was convicted of betraying her mistress and was beaten to death.

However, Consort Zhuang now had a weakness in the Empress's hands.

How could the Empress possibly let her go?

To avoid being exposed, the concubine made up her clothes.

She did many heinous things for the Empress, and also harmed many imperial heirs and innocent palace maids and eunuchs.

The spices were found in these two places.

Many plot points have now been changed.

Mu Qianqian wasn't sure if the spice still existed in that place.

only.

At that time, Consort Zhuang was directly banished from Qiluan Garden to the Cold Palace.

She probably doesn't have time to pack those things.

They would also prevent others from cleaning up those things.

You should know that these things are a hundred times, a thousand times worse than the crimes she is committing now.

Of course, they wouldn't be foolish enough to make themselves and her guilty even more severely.

"Auspicious." Emperor Yuanwu made a gesture towards auspiciousness.

Ji Xiang immediately understood and moved closer.

Emperor Yuanwu whispered a few words in his ear.

The Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was unaware of what Emperor Yuanwu was whispering about.
