Jiang Cainu was completely stunned.
"This item contains musk. How dare you present it to me? Don't you know that I visit Nan Baolin at Yilan Palace every day?"
Musk?
Jiang Cainu was even more bewildered.
Xiao Lanchuan had a cold and stern expression, his dark eyes were shrouded in a hazy hue, and he was both cold and violent.
"The message was sent to Chen Huaizhi."
Chen Huaizhi discovered that he was the busiest person in the entire harem.
Every day, I either see doctors or give acupuncture, sometimes I have to participate in case hearings, and from time to time I have to deal with the anger of the two people above me.
It's a pity that he has only been an imperial physician for a year and a half, and he hasn't had a single day off.
If this continues, he'll be finished sooner or later.
After venting, I still have to work my ass off.
“Your Majesty, there is indeed musk, and quite a lot of it. Nan Baolin is still very young. If she smells it, she will definitely miscarry within three days.”
In fact, there isn't much of it inside, and even if you smell it, it will take about half a month before you miscarry.
Chen Huaizhi secretly added more musk to it, so that Jiang Cainu's crime would be even more serious.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jiang Cainu was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a thud, shouting that she was innocent and that she knew nothing about it.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Xiao Lanchuan's profile. He appeared calm and said slowly, "If you honestly confess who ordered you, I may spare your life."
Jiang Cainu, who desired power and was also afraid of death, naturally betrayed Le Yao quickly.
Le Yao didn't expect Xiao Lanchuan to notice so quickly. When she was brought into the room, she subconsciously tried to bite the poison hidden in her teeth, but the eunuch was quick to pry her mouth open.
The poison hidden in the teeth was pried out.
With her hands bound, Le Yao knelt on the ground. Only when she saw the smile slowly spreading across Xiao Lanchuan's lips did she feel fear.
"The one who tried to assassinate me last time refused to reveal the mastermind, so I turned him into a human pig. What about you? You choose one: confess voluntarily, or..."
When Xiao Lanchuan was assassinated, Le Yao was also present. The thought of those assassins being hacked down to their torsos made her tremble uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! This servant truly did not know..."
Seeing that she still didn't want to speak, Xiao Lanchuan slowly straightened his sleeves. "It seems that you don't want the lives of your entire family of sixteen people either. Summon them to join you."
The reason Le Yao didn't speak was because her life and fortune were entirely in Zhang Mama's hands. When she saw her family members appear outside Zuihua Garden, she dared not hide anything anymore and told them everything.
“It was Zhang Mama, who served the Empress Dowager. She used the lives of my entire family to force me to do things for her.”
Le Yao not only told everyone about the musk hidden in the snowy spring letter, but also about the incense burner in the palace and the bracelet worn by Jiang Cai Nu.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered this old servant to invite Zhang Mama to Shangyang Palace."
The Empress Dowager was surprised when Jiang Fulai suddenly appeared after she had gone to bed, and even tried to call Zhang Mama away unexpectedly.
She hurriedly put on her clothes, walked to the main hall, and looked at Jiang Fulai, who had a respectful expression, "What happened? Why does His Majesty want to see Zhang Mama?"
Jiang Fulai refused to reveal anything.
"You'll find out when you get there, Granny Zhang."
The Empress Dowager felt uneasy: "I must go too."
Jiang Fulai stopped her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor instructed that only Zhang Mama should be seen. Please don't make things difficult for this servant."
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager could not show too much eagerness, and she could only watch helplessly as Zhang Mama was taken away.
When Granny Zhang left, she never returned, and the Empress Dowager knew that something had happened.
Zhang Mama was all alone and the Empress Dowager's most loyal servant. Although she was extremely loyal, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel anxious whenever she thought about Xiao Lanchuan's perverse methods of punishing assassins.
She had planned everything perfectly, so where did things go wrong?
The Empress Dowager's heart was beating extremely fast.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jingyi, completely unaware of the situation, had met a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Nan Zhi earlier that day. He had been tricked into coming to the Prince's mansion and was currently pinning her down on the bed, ignoring her cries and screams...
Half an incense stick later, he got up from the woman. Although he had satisfied his lust, he was somewhat dissatisfied.
"It's rock hard, like a corpse, and it hurt me."
The woman covered herself with the blanket, her sobs hoarse.
He grew impatient and said fiercely, "If you don't behave, believe me, I'll kill your parents."
The woman then dared not cry.
"I will come again tomorrow night. You'd better cooperate. If I'm happy, I will let you leave."
Only after Xiao Jingyi left did the woman dare to cry out loud.
Xiao Jingyi returned to his room and, recalling the woman's experience, felt increasingly that she was not as good as Nanzhi.
Nan Zhi's face and figure were like a bewitching worm, making him unbearably itchy.
"Good brother, once you die, your woman will be mine."
He wanted not only Nan Zhi, but also all of Xiao Lan Chuan's concubines.
No one in Yilan Palace dared to tell Nanzhi about what happened last night, for fear of disturbing her. But Nanzhi already knew about it from the system.
Jiang Cainu thought she was clever and had won the favor of the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect to get herself into trouble and be imprisoned in the cold palace, never to come out again.
Le Yao was forced into prostitution, and her family was exiled.
At first, Granny Zhang refused to reveal that the Empress Dowager was the mastermind behind it all, until Xiao Lanchuan made her experience all eighteen cruel tortures.
She finally spoke.
Nan Zhi never expected that even though she didn't leave her house, the Empress Dowager would still find a way to take the baby in her womb.
This shows just how vicious he is.
But it seems the Empress Dowager was also deceived?
At present, Xiao Lanchuan is not in a hurry to punish the Empress Dowager, whether out of consideration for their kinship or because he wants to find out the truth about the poisoning from her.
The latter should be favored.
Unfortunately, she only had 9,010 points, and she needed another 900 points to exchange for the antidote.
Now her points are increasing more and more slowly, it seems to have reached a bottleneck. If she had known, she shouldn't have exchanged for the fertility constitution first.
However, if you don't exchange the points, Xiao Lanchuan's favorability will not increase, and your points will not rise.
This is a dead end.
By the time Xiao Lanchuan finished hearing the case, it was already dawn.
He attended the morning court session before leisurely heading to Xianxi Palace.
At that time, the Empress Dowager was already restless, and none of the people she sent out to find out the news had made any progress.
Upon seeing Xiao Lanchuan, she forced herself to calm down.
"My son, you've arrived. Has the meal been served?"
"Never."
The Empress Dowager then hurriedly ordered people to serve the dishes.
At the dining table, Xiao Lanchuan ate with a calm and collected demeanor, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing his calm demeanor, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't help but probe, "Jiang Fulai took Zhang Mama away last night. I wonder what happened?"
Xiao Lanchuan paused for a moment before looking at her: "What does Mother think?"
The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile: "How did Mother know?"
But in her heart, she thought that her son's thoughts were becoming increasingly deep.
Xiao Lanchuan placed a piece of food into the Empress Dowager's bowl before saying lightly, "She said that Mother Empress wants to harm me."
