Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Of course there is evidence of this. If I were not absolutely sure, I would not dare to make such a rash assertion."

As the prime minister said this, he asked the people waiting outside the imperial study to present the evidence.

"These poisons were discovered by my men under the imperial doctor's bed. They have been repeatedly verified by people in the imperial hospital. It is indeed the poison that poisoned the third prince."

He spoke with great certainty as soon as he opened his mouth. The imperial doctor whom he captured to pay for his crime also said nothing. He glanced sideways at the poison on the plate and pursed his lips tightly.

"How was the poison tested? I heard from people in the Imperial Hospital before that they couldn't find out what kind of poison the third prince was poisoned with. Why did the people in the Imperial Hospital change their words as soon as the Prime Minister took action? "

Concubine Xi took a step forward and asked with a slight smile.

The Prime Minister was a bit overwhelmed by her direct question, and for a moment she didn't even know how to answer.

"This... maybe the imperial doctors have done a little more thorough research on this poison recently, so they can tell at a glance that this medicine is the one planted by the third prince."

The prime minister thought carefully for a long time and then gave a speech.

He always felt that he would not make any mistakes again by answering like this. After all, there were so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, who could guarantee that none of them would research the poison.

"If Concubine Xi doesn't believe what I just said, then we can only invite the imperial doctor who made this conclusion to the imperial study and let him talk to Concubine Xi."

The Prime Minister then added another sentence, expressing his reassurance about what he just said.

This matter has been in the past for a long time, and the emperor's current attitude is that he does not want to cause too much trouble and stir up trouble. Concubine Xi is just a woman in the harem, so how can she influence the emperor's thoughts.

"No, I naturally trust the Prime Minister. Since the Prime Minister has found the culprit in this matter... then it is up to Your Majesty to decide how to deal with this person."

Concubine Xi said calmly and did not dwell too much on this matter.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan didn't say much on the sidelines. Of course, it was not their turn as outsiders to dictate this matter.

"I'll put this person in the prison first."

The emperor ordered to Eunuch Sun beside him. After Eunuch Sun responded, he immediately ordered the guards to press the imperial doctor into the prison.

Seeing the emperor, the prime minister had no intention of punishing him more. Instead, he was a little confused for a moment: "Your Majesty, what is the use of keeping such thieves? If he is not honest in the prison -"

"How do I do things? When will it be the prime minister's turn to teach me how to do things?"

The emperor glanced at the prime minister in front of him, obviously warning him that he had overstepped his bounds.

The prime minister immediately shut his mouth, said a few words to the emperor to admit his mistake, and then found an excuse to escape.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Concubine Xi originally wanted to say a word to the emperor and then leave, but she heard the emperor speak and stop the three of them.

"Wait a minute, I still have something to talk to you three."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The three people immediately stopped and turned to salute the emperor.

"This matter has been investigated here for the time being. You should not continue to investigate further without making any judgments. If something really happens... I will never be merciful."

The emperor said meaningfully, and the warning in his words was very obvious.

The three of them said hello and immediately exited the imperial study room.

"It seems that Your Majesty really does not intend to hold the Prime Minister accountable. I have evidence of this matter in my hands, but it is of no use at all..."

Concubine Xi said slightly.

She was still somewhat lucky about the emperor's side, but now she found that she was thinking too much.

The emperor didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"My Majesty, there is no need to care too much. Since the Prime Minister has done so many bad things, there will always be a day when he capsizes in the gutter."

Jiang Lianzhu comforted her.

Concubine Xi nodded slightly and did not say much else to them.

Jiang Lianzhu sent Concubine Xi back to her dormitory and left the palace, while Liao Yunchuan stayed in the palace temporarily because of the six doors.

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu got off the carriage, she saw that the medical clinic was noisy and she immediately quickened her pace and walked forward.

"You guys, you are so anxious here, you have already told me that this person is not a patient in my medical clinic, and our medical clinic has never done such an unscrupulous thing!"

Liu Qingqing was a little impatient at being squeezed by a group of people, so she yelled directly at the people who were desperately moving forward.

She really didn't expect that these people had no ability to distinguish at all, and they went straight to the medical center to hear the wind or the rain.

"What you say is so unpleasant, isn't it? Why do you want to slander you? There must be some problem with your medical clinic!" The man in the lead immediately retorted, pointing to the man sitting on the ground beside him. That pregnant woman said, "She is such a good person, why are you joking with her own life!"

"What the hell happened? You all, please get out of my way."

Jiang Lianzhu heard the commotion getting louder and louder, and pushed away the noisy crowd without saying a word.

Most of the people who came to make trouble recognized her as the manager of the medical clinic. They were afraid that making trouble with her would attract the attention of the government, so they all stepped aside obediently.

There was only one pregnant woman sitting on the steps, clutching her already bulging belly.

"I... my body was damaged by your medical clinic, but now I don't admit it, and you accuse me of deliberately trying to frame me... If you don't take responsibility, believe it or not, I will put you in jail right now. Call those who are convinced!"

The pregnant woman spoke with a slightly guilty voice, but no one noticed the unnaturalness in her words, and everyone paid attention to her high-protruding belly.

It looked like it was already six or seven months old. If something went wrong while being treated by the medical clinic, there would definitely be no way to save the baby inside.

"Qingqing, go and call me the people from the six doors now." Jiang Lianzhu frowned and ordered Liu Qingqing on the side, "And you guys, hurry up and carry her inside. , let me see what’s going on with her body.”

Although Liu Qingqing was a little reluctant, she agreed and squeezed out of the crowd.

The boys were hurriedly carrying the pregnant woman in, for fear of bumping into her in the process. .
