The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

After hearing what Emperor Jingren said, Shen Qinglan looked at him with admiration.

It was as if he had not expected that Emperor Jingren could guess what he was thinking just after he had made the first move.

Emperor Jingren naturally enjoyed being looked at with such respect by Shen Qinglan.

No man can refuse the feeling of being admired, not even Emperor Jingren.

Shen Qinglan seemed to be trying hard to hide the admiration and surprise in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he bowed to Emperor Jingren again and nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise. I have heard that the Ministry of Justice has 108 tortures, such as hitting the head with a golden gourd, cutting off the nose, burning with fire, being put in a scorpion pot, and dripping water torture, etc."

"If these assassins still keep their confessions after going through all these punishments, it proves that Prince Zhan deserves death! I will be the first one to kill Prince Zhan and clear his court!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the assassins widened their eyes and looked at Shen Qinglan with some horror.

These criminal laws are scary enough just by hearing their names, without even trying them!

Death is not terrible!

The scary thing is that you can’t die easily, that would be real torture.

There were also some people whose eyes kept drifting towards Wang Heng.

Wang Heng was obviously a little surprised that Shen Qinglan would make such a suggestion!

You know, the Ministry of Justice is under the control of the Ninth Prince's party!

If these people were placed in the Ministry of Justice, all their plans would be ruined!

Not only that, I'm afraid the Eighth Prince will be implicated!

At this moment, Wang Heng just felt a headache and was in a difficult situation.

They had never thought of actually assassinating Emperor Jingren, they just wanted to use the assassination to frame Huo Zhanting.

After all, Huo Zhanting is now the commander of the Jingji Guard. Regardless of whether Emperor Jingren was assassinated successfully or not, Huo Zhanting cannot escape blame.

They thought that it would be best if Emperor Jingren could get a little injured. By then, Emperor Jingren would be so angry that he would definitely bring down Huo Zhanting.

Moreover, if another basin of dirty water is poured on Huo Zhanting, Huo Zhanting's crime will not only be dereliction of duty, but also treason!

Huo Zhanting has no way out.

Once Huo Zhanting dies, the position of commander of the Jingji Guard will completely fall on Wang Heng's head!

But now...

If we really take these people to the Ministry of Justice, all our efforts will be in vain!

Not to mention that the Ninth Prince and his party would never be happy to see the commander of the Jingji Guard become Wang Heng, so they would definitely help Huo Zhanting.

Besides, the cruel punishments of the Ministry of Justice mean that if these assassins don't produce something useful, they won't be able to die peacefully.

Wang Heng sighed in his heart, glanced at the assassins inconspicuously, and closed his eyes slightly.

When the assassins saw this, they immediately understood what was going on. A hint of determination flashed in their eyes, and they immediately bit open the poison sacs in their mouths.

"Oh no! These assassins committed suicide!"

Nangong Mingyue was the first to notice the actions of the assassins and shouted immediately.

Unfortunately, the poison was fatal upon contact with blood, and the assassins fell one after another in an instant.

Fortunately, Shen Qinglan had already made preparations and had already asked Shuwen and others to take care of it.

So at this moment, Shuwen immediately stepped forward and sealed the acupoints of one of the assassins, and then pried open the assassin's mouth.

Shu Yu also stepped forward and immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into the assassin's mouth.

In an instant, the rest of the assassins were dead, but this assassin, although weak, did not die immediately!

The assassin looked at Shu Yu and the others with some fear, and wanted to say something, but the poison had not yet been cleared, so he couldn't make a sound.

Wang Heng looked at Shen Qinglan in some surprise, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

This Shen Qinglan always ruins his plans!

Emperor Jingren naturally noticed that the two maids were the maids beside Shen Qinglan, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Qinglan and asked:

"Jiashun, this is..."

Shen Qinglan looked at Emperor Jingren, bowed, and explained in a gentle voice:

"Your Majesty, this is the Baijie Pill that Jiashun accidentally got from the old divine doctor Zeng. It can cure all kinds of poisons. These assassins committed suicide at this time. They must have felt guilty and wanted to die without any evidence."

"How can I watch the King of Zhan being wrongly accused? If the real murderer is not found, Your Majesty will be in danger. Naturally, I will be unable to sleep or eat well!"

When Shen Qinglan looked at Emperor Jingren with that cold face, there was a look of sincerity and piety. When he said this, it was clear that he was a loyal person who truly cared about the safety of Emperor Jingren!

Such a sincere expression, coupled with Shen Qinglan's pretty face, made it impossible for anyone to doubt what she said. Even Emperor Jingren looked pleased, but...

Emperor Jingren looked at the porcelain bottle in Shuyu's hand and couldn't help asking:

"Is this the medicine given by the old genius doctor Zeng?"

"Yes."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly. Seeing that Emperor Jingren was staring at her, she naturally knew what he was thinking.

Emperor Jingren had always admired Mr. Zeng and wanted to invite him to the palace as an imperial physician, but unfortunately Mr. Zeng declined.

However, everything produced by Mr. Zeng is definitely a treasure, especially this Baijie Pill, so how could Emperor Jingren not be tempted?

But in fact, this Baijie Pill was prepared by Shen Qinglan. When she took it out at this time, she knew that Emperor Jingren would be interested.

Shen Qinglan immediately smiled harmlessly and said:

"This medicine from the great doctor Zeng is very precious, but it is useless for me to take it. I would rather borrow it to offer to the Buddha. Your Majesty, please do not refuse it and show your loyalty to me."

As Shen Qinglan spoke, he glanced at Shuyu. Shuyu hurried forward and respectfully handed the porcelain bottle to Li Fude who was beside Emperor Jingren.

Li Fude took it with a smile, then looked at Emperor Jingren and said:

"Your Majesty, Princess Jiashun is indeed very filial to you, but please do not hurt her feelings."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingren glared at Li Fude helplessly and said:

"You're pretty quick to accept the gift from the kid."

"hey-hey……"

Li Fude smiled ingratiatingly, but couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

Isn't he just acting according to your mood?

If Emperor Jingren didn't want to, how could he do such an presumptuous act?

But there was no other way, since he was the confidant of Emperor Jingren, so he had to either contribute or take the blame, which was Li Fude's way of survival.

Emperor Jingren took Shen Qinglan's things, so he certainly couldn't take them for nothing. After all, Shen Qinglan had just said that she had paid a lot of money for them. So he immediately said:

"I know Jiashun is filial, and I also know that what happened today has nothing to do with Prince Zhan's Mansion. Don't worry, I will have someone send the assassin to the Ministry of Justice, and the truth will surely be revealed, clearing Prince Zhan's Mansion of all charges."

"Also, I will not take advantage of a girl like you for nothing. I will have the Ministry of Revenue directly reimburse you for the detoxification pills and the pensions that the Zhan Palace gave to the injured and disabled generals."

Shen Qinglan understood that Emperor Jingren believed that the assassination had nothing to do with Prince Zhan's Mansion.

After all, the facts are before our eyes. If these assassins were really sent by Prince Zhan's Mansion, there would be too many flaws.

Besides, if Shen Qinglan felt guilty, there would be no need for him to rescue the assassin.

Shen Qinglan knew it very well, but his face was full of joy and gratitude. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Wang Heng, who was standing aside, was already sweating profusely.
