The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

"What else? What does the emperor want from me?" Zhou Jieyu suddenly looked directly at Lu Zan and actually contradicted her.

As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked.

After all, Zhou Jieyu has always been very particular about rules. If anyone dares to contradict the emperor like this, she will be the first to refute him.

At this time, Lu Zan was also looking at her, his eyes as deep and calm as if the sea was about to become angry, and his awe-inspiring aura was intimidating.

"Which woman in this harem hasn't had blood on her hands?"

Zhou Jieyu seemed to have decided to let herself go before she died.

She said, raising her finger to Jingshu, "This is the vixen whom the emperor loves most now. Doesn't her hands have to be clean? Has she never harmed anyone? Hasn't she killed anyone? Why did the emperor only say that I harmed my concubine? Man, don't talk about her? The emperor is so partial, which makes this concubine so angry. Even if Concubine Xie is so high and mighty, doesn't she still want to kill this vixen several times because of the emperor's partiality?

"To be honest, this vixen has not done anything wrong. She is in the harem and has to do some things.

"It is the Emperor who is at fault. It is the Emperor who insists on doting on her, making her jealous and framed by other women. It is the Emperor who is really vicious, how can he be a concubine?"

Jing Shu was really surprised when she heard what she said.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jieyu, who had always followed the rules and was most persecuted by the various rules and precepts of feudal ethics, turned out to be so transparent in her heart.

I have to say, what she said was quite convincing.

In a patriarchal society, all the right to speak is in the hands of men. No matter what they do, it is right, and no matter what women do, it is wrong.

Lu Zan can neither be a true equal, nor can he be a couple for the rest of his life. In this case, some people will naturally think it is unfair and want to harm the one he favors, but everyone wants to be the one she favors. A favored person.

It's a pity that only people like Zhou Jieyu who are on the verge of death dare to say such words.

We're going to die anyway, so why not just have some fun?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Zhou Jieyu is about to die. No matter what she says, please don't take it to heart, so as not to get angry." At this time, the Queen looked at Lu Zan with a worried look and advised.

She looked at Zhou Jieyu again and sighed, her expression full of disappointment and disapproval, "Zhou Jieyu, just say less. Why do you have to anger the emperor? Even if you don't care about yourself, you should Take care of your family, right?"

As soon as the queen said this, Zhou Jieyu's expression changed drastically.

She took a deep look at the Queen, and there was a flash of hatred in her eyes.

Jing Shu was quite surprised to hear her say in her heart: "Back then, I was ignorant and hung out with my younger brother. I accidentally got pregnant. I wanted to give birth quietly, but I didn't want the queen to know about it and ask her to force someone to do it." The medicine forced her to abort the baby, and she was no longer able to have children. After that, I did countless dirty things for her and killed so many innocent people! Today, she actually threatened me with the lives of my family? What a shame, I did it for my father. I can only listen to her in everything!

"My whole life and the next few years have been completely manipulated by the Queen alone!"

Jing Shu simply used 100% of her strength to control herself from looking at the queen.

Although she had known for a long time that the Queen was not as kind as she appeared. She always had a heart as deep as the sea and would not reveal her true thoughts easily. However, she did not expect that she would actually use Zhou Jieyu to do so many things. evil deeds!

Although Zhou Jieyu's father, Zhou Shangshu, was pedantic and abiding by ethics, he never formed cliques. He was considered a rare clean figure in the court and could be called a good person.

However, the step-brother he married had no idea how many cuckolds he had made.

It was enough that none of his three sons were his own. This was miserable enough. If he knew that his only biological daughter was actually involved with one of the bastards, he would be so angry that he would die.

Therefore, Zhou Jieyu felt very indebted to her father and always wanted to treat him a hundred times better, so she was firmly controlled by the queen.

She could no longer feel sorry for her father, and she didn't want to kill him again.

Jing Shu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this ancient woman really had too much control over her, but she couldn't sympathize with Zhou Jieyu at all.

After all, this cannot be the reason for Zhou Jieyu to kill others.

She wants to protect her father, why should she ask others to sacrifice their lives for her? This is pure evil.

At this time, Yanxi Palace fell into a brief silence.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Jing Shu said suddenly.

"Tell me." Lu Zan glanced at her, his handsome face showing no explanation.

"The emperor must first pardon my concubine for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and then I dare to speak." Jing Shu looked at him, with a trace of hope on her charming face.

"Did you do something outrageous again?" Lu Zan frowned.

"What do you mean 'again'? This concubine doesn't like to hear what the emperor says." Jing Shu curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, please promise me!"

"...I promise you that I will pardon your crime of deceiving the emperor. Is that okay?" Lu Zan stroked his forehead, but there was nothing he could do to her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Is that what I said?" Jing Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a sly smile overflowed from her eyes.

"If you don't tell me, you don't have to." Lu Zan deliberately teased her, but he also wanted to see what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd.

When Jing Shu heard this, she wrinkled her nose at him.

Then he looked at Doctor Chen and said, "Let Concubine Zhao come out."

Doctor Chen nodded.

"what?"

"What do you mean by this? Isn't Concubine Zhao already dead?"

As soon as she said this, the concubines immediately looked at Jingshu in confusion.

When Imperial Physician Chen appeared again, everyone saw that behind him, Concubine Zhao appeared safe and sound with her belly being supported by the palace maid.

Seeing that she was fine, Concubine Xie's face suddenly turned pale and ugly.

So, this time I was tricked by Jing Shu again?

Once she realized this, Concubine Xie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This bitch!

She gritted her teeth and looked at Jingshu angrily!

"What's going on?" Even the queen looked at Jing Shu with a puzzled look on her face, and there was a hint of anger and displeasure in her words, "Yuan Jieyu, which song are you singing? You clearly knew that Concubine Zhao was fine, yet you allowed Concubine Xie to slander you, and then pulled out Zhou Jieyu to say that she harmed Concubine Zhao? What is your intention? Do you think that I and the Emperor are fools?"

Hearing this, Jing Shu looked at her with a rather amused expression.

The Queen is so angry. Could it be that she feels that she is the only one in the world who treats others like monkeys and that others are not allowed to play tricks on her?

"The Queen, please calm down. However, the Emperor has already forgiven the concubine of deceiving the emperor. The Queen can no longer blame the concubine." She said lazily.

This time, the queen looked at her with a calm expression and said nothing.

Jingshu didn't hear her thoughts and thought to herself that this queen really hid her thoughts deeply!

"Your Majesty, Queen, what is going on? Why don't you let Zhao Concubine explain it yourself." Jing Shu said and looked at Zhao Concubine.

At this moment, Zhao Concubine looked at her again. How could she still feel the resentment and jealousy she had before?

There was only gratitude in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Rong Bing, there is indeed someone who wants to harm my concubine. If Yuan Jieyu hadn't come to help, I'm afraid I would have died in two at this moment!" Concubine Zhao was a little excited when talking about this matter.

She calmed down a little, and then she explained the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that Zhao Bi felt a little unwell a few days ago.

She saw Dr. Li, but Dr. Li said that her fetal condition was stable and there was no problem.

Zhao Bin only thought that she was being careless.

Until Jingshu suddenly came to the door.

"Yuan Jieyu told the concubine that her anti-fetal medicine had been tampered with. At first, the concubine did not believe it. It was not until Yuan Jieyu took the concubine to hide in the small kitchen that the concubine saw it with her own eyes. The serving maid Yuan Ruo put something into the concubine's anti-fetal medicine. However, whose order Yuan Ruo was doing, neither the concubine nor Yuan Jieyu knew.

"Yuan Jieyu proposed to set up this situation.

"She said that if someone is interested in harming a concubine, he will not only want to kill the concubine but also find someone to take the blame. This is called killing two birds with one stone.

"As long as the concubine pretends to have a miscarriage, a corpse and two lives, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely jump out and cause trouble. By then, whoever has been slandered will be another target that the mastermind behind the scenes wants to get rid of."

Zhao Bin explained the matter clearly.

Concubine Xie's face was extremely ugly.

She thought she had a thorough plan this time, but she didn't expect that Jing Shu would know about it in advance?

However, how did Jing Shu know that Zhao Bi's anti-fetal medicine had been tampered with?

"But how did Yuan Jieyu know about this? Didn't she really direct and act on her own and deliberately let Zhao Concubine cooperate with her so that others would be fooled? Just as Aunt Huifang in the imperial concubine's palace said, Did she plan the next incident after she heard about Concubine Zhao's accident?" At this time, Cao Guiren suddenly said in a confused tone.

"Cao Guiren is really innocent and cute. Do you really believe it when others say that? Then how many bowls of rice do you eat on weekdays? Do you have to listen to others tell you how many bowls of rice you should eat before eating?" Jing Shu He immediately looked at her and said something that was not a boast.

Cao Guiren's face turned red, but he could tell that Jing Shu was scolding him for being brainless and opinionated!

"I just have some doubts. After all, if someone really harmed Zhao Concubine, they should have done it extremely carefully. How could it be possible that Zhao Concubine didn't know it herself, but Yuan Jieyu knew about it first?" Cao Guiren said in a rather unkind tone. The ground shot back at her.

"Replying to Mr. Cao, this matter was originally discovered by Wei Chen." On the side, Doctor Chen said, "It was Wei Chen who accidentally saw Doctor Li's pulse, and he specially made two different sets of medical records for Concubine Zhao. One of the pulse records was the actual condition of her fetal appearance, and it was written that she might have a miscarriage on a certain day. The other set was fake, saying that everything about her fetal appearance was normal. Wei Chen suspected that Dr. Li was under the instigation of someone else. I wanted to harm Concubine Zhao, so I reported the matter to Yuan Jieyu."

"It's really interesting that you, an imperial physician and a minister of the emperor, discovered something like this and instead of reporting it to the emperor, you went to find Yuan Jieyu? May I ask what your relationship is with Yuan Jieyu?" Cao Guiren immediately sneered, Said in a deliberately involving way.

When Lu Zan heard this, his face darkened slightly.

His expression was so deep that one could not tell whether he was unhappy because of Cao Guiren's words or because he began to suspect that Jing Shu had an improper relationship with Doctor Chen.

"Your Majesty Cao has such a clever mouth. No wonder the emperor turned to your name many times. I'm afraid your mouth is so eloquent that it made the emperor very happy. That's why he likes you so much, right?" After hearing this, Jing Shu was surprised. He didn't look annoyed at all, but instead praised her again.

When Cao Guiren listened, he couldn't help but feel a little proud on his face.

Now in this harem, apart from Yuan Jieyu who has the lion's share of the emperor's favor, she is the one who gets the most!

If I could make the emperor feel at odds with Yuan Jieyu with just a few words, wouldn't she be the one who gets the most favor in the future?

Unexpectedly, when Lu Zan heard what Jing Shu said, his face suddenly darkened.

He immediately said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty Cao has made mistakes in his words and deeds. He talks nonsense, sows dissension, and disrespects the superior. I will punish you with a three-month grounding and reduce it to a promise!"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Guiren was almost flying into the sky just now. When he suddenly heard his decree to lower his position, he felt as if he had fallen from the clouds. He immediately screamed in disbelief!

Jing Shu looked at her as if she were laughing.

How much do you think Lu Zan loves her?

Can't speak a word.

Who is Lu Zan? How dare she say to his face that someone was cuckolding him despite being so proud and petty? It would be strange if Lu Zan could bear it!

"Take her down!" Lu Zan ordered with an impatient frown.

"Your Majesty, I don't want it! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!" Cao Guiren burst into tears and looked very pitiful.

"Pull it down!" Lu Zan waved his hand.

Wang Zhong quickly asked the people in front of the emperor to drag her out of Yanxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, although Cao Guiren's words are not pleasant to listen to, there is some truth in them. I also want to know why Dr. Chen found out that there was something wrong with Zhao Concubine's anti-fetal medicine and did not report it to the emperor, but insisted on going to Yuan Yuan. Jieyu. If this matter is not explained clearly and any rumors are spread in the future, wouldn't it be detrimental to the emperor's face?" At this time, Concubine Xie suddenly said in a cold tone.

Lu Zan looked at her solemnly.

She just stood there, refusing to give in, as if she had to give Jingshu an explanation.

"Your Majesty, your concubine, Wei Chen can explain this matter." Dr. Chen said in a respectful tone, "Wei Chen was bold. The reason why he did not report to the Emperor at first, but went to Yuan Jieyu instead, was because Wei Chen felt that it would be wrong to report to the Emperor. According to the report, the emperor may send someone to protect Concubine Zhao, but he cannot really catch the person who instigated Dr. Li behind the scenes.

"But Yuan Jieyu is different.

"When King Duan rebelled and the emperor was in danger, Yuan Jieyu stepped forward to protect the emperor regardless of her own safety. The ministers thought that although Yuan Jieyu was a woman, she had a narrow-minded heart. If she was approached to report this matter , she will definitely have a way to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and restore real peace and tranquility to the harem!"

"Mr. Chen, you are so brave! How dare you question the emperor and say that she is inferior to a female?" After hearing what he said, Concubine Xie immediately sneered and asked in a stern tone.

Jing Shu raised her eyebrows.

Well, it seems that Concubine Xie has suffered too much today. She knows that Dr. Chen is on the same side as her and can't do anything to herself, so she just wants to pull Dr. Chen down to support her!
