The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Emperor Zhou looked coldly at Mu Ling who was kneeling on the ground. He must punish Prince Ling severely for today's farce. Otherwise, not only would all the ministers in the court be dissatisfied, but even that group of military generals would be able to overturn this hall.

"Prince Ling Mu Ling is narrow-minded, has bad conduct, and has framed important officials of the court. From today on, he will be stripped of his title of prince and exiled to Youzhou in the southern border. He is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree. The rest of the people involved will be taken to prison awaiting trial and will be severely punished according to the law."

Mu Ling suddenly collapsed to the ground. Youzhou in the southern border was a place known for its plague and miasma. It was a poisonous place that took people's lives. The people were barbaric and the land was barren. If he went there, would he be able to return to Beijing alive?

"I know I was wrong! I beg you to forgive me! I know I was wrong!" Mu Ling was so panicked that he kowtowed to Emperor Zhou and admitted his mistake. He could not go to Youzhou. If he went to Youzhou, he would never be able to make a success in his life.

Emperor Zhou had a cold expression and looked at Mu Ling with a frown, showing no mercy at all.

"Dismiss the dynasty."

"Retreat—"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

A group of court officials in the Golden Palace bowed to see Emperor Zhou off respectfully, looking at Mu Ling with cold and mocking eyes.

Although the Zhenguo Mansion has now handed over the military power of the Western Border Army and its strength has been greatly reduced, it is not as strong as before, but the prestige of the Zhenguo Mansion in the army for a hundred years and the military achievements it has made for the Great Zhou over the years are not comparable to ordinary people. Prince Ling has no foundation in the court, but he dared to offend the Zhenguo Mansion thoroughly. I don't know where he got the courage from.

Banished to Youzhou, it is unknown whether the Sixth Prince Mu Ling will ever be able to return to the capital.

Mu Ling was finally taken back to Prince Ling's Mansion by the guards.

When the guards broke into Prince Ling's mansion, Chen Ruofu had just prepared a table of food. She was in a particularly good mood and was waiting for good news from Mu Ling.

When he saw Mu Ling being escorted back by the palace guards, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

"My Lord, what's going on?"

"You are Chen Ruofu! Come on, take her away." The leader of the guards behind Mu Ling looked Chen Ruofu up and down with a cold and serious expression, and waved behind him.

Two armored guards stepped forward to detain Chen Ruofu.

"Wait, who are you? Why are you arresting me?!"

"Your Highness, what is going on?" Chen Ruofu was horrified and tried to break free from the guards' control and asked Mu Ling.

"I have something to say to her. Please be flexible." Mu Ling said to the chief guard with a blank expression.

The leader of the guards looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

Mu Ling pulled Chen Ruofu into the house and closed the door.

"Pa——" He slapped Chen Ruofu hard with a sinister and vicious look in his eyes.

Chen Ruofu was knocked to the ground by him, covering her face, a little dazed.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Mu Ling walked up to her, grabbed her by the collar, and asked with gritted teeth, lowering his voice:

"Chen Ruofu, where did you get that military report from? Are you sure you got it from the study of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Chen Ruofu seemed to have guessed something, her face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Fu'er doesn't know what you are talking about!"

"You are still pretending! Your military report is fake! You have left me with nothing!" He threw Chen Ruofu out.

Seeing Mu Ling's expression of despair, Chen Ruofu also panicked, "Prince, what happened? What happened?"

"That military report of yours is a forgery! The military reporter I found was also fake. The person who wrote the military report has been dead for a long time! I worked hard to plan a farce, but I sacrificed myself and lost everything!" Mu Ling seemed to have lost all his strength. He slumped in the chair, looking embarrassed and decadent.

"How is that possible? That's Chunlan..." Chen Ruofu wanted to retort, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Chunlan all day.

She had seen the military report in the study of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with her own eyes! She had asked Chunlan to steal it from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Chunlan betrayed herself! She was plotted against! Chen Ruofu felt a chill on her back. Su Jingning! She had actually set up the trap since then.

"Your Highness, it's Su Jingning! She is the one who set us up!"

"At this point, does it matter who set up the trap? You only need to remember one thing, that military report was given to me by you, and I was deceived by you." Mu Ling's eyes were deep and cold, looking at Chen Ruofu without any emotion. Now only Chen Ruofu admitted the matter, and he was deceived to do such a thing. In this way, he just didn't know people well and was deceived by others, so he made mistakes, and there is a chance to return to the capital in the future.

Chen Ruofu looked at Mu Ling in disbelief, a tear sliding down from the corner of her eye.

"Your Majesty... this is giving up on me."

Mu Ling stood up from the chair, slowly squatted down beside Chen Ruofu, and hugged her. He whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, I won't let your death be in vain. I will definitely avenge you."

Chen Ruofu's body trembled slightly, tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, and she closed her eyes with a look of despair.

Chen Ruofu was eventually imprisoned in Jingzhao Prison. She forged military reports and framed court officials. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was sentenced to death.

……

The Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lan Ya Pavilion.

Su Jingning was sitting by the window reading a book, looking calm and peaceful.

"Miss, An Xia is here." Yun Ya pushed open the door and walked in with a tall, regular-looking woman.

"An Xia meets the girl." The woman named An Xia was dressed in green, with a calm and unique temperament.

"You're here, get up quickly." Su Jingning stood up and helped An Xia up with a gentle smile.

"How things went."

An Xia's serious expression eased a little, and he whispered to Su Jingning:

"An Xia fulfilled the mission of the young lady and completed the tasks assigned by the young lady. Prince Ling was dismissed from his position as a county prince and banished to Youzhou by His Majesty. He is not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned and must leave tomorrow. Chen Ruofu forged a military report and was taken to the Jingzhao jail. According to the law, she is sentenced to death."

Hatred and joy flashed in Su Jingning's eyes.

Mu Ling, this is just the beginning, the best is yet to come!

"Send someone to ambush him on his way to the southern border. Don't let him get away with it. Just don't kill him." Su Jingning's expression was cold and indifferent. Mu Ling's life had to be taken by her personally.

"You've worked hard pretending to be Chunlan and staying by Chen Ruofu's side during this period. Let's send someone from the pavilion to do the next thing. You stay in the mansion and have a good rest." Su Jingning looked at An Xia and said softly.

An Xia looked at Su Jingning, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Yes."

study.

The Duke of Zhenguo sat in the study, looking at the military report that Mu Ling handed over today, his face solemn.

This military report was written in detail and truthfully. The combat methods and military formations used in it were all his usual methods and formations, and even the names of the lieutenant generals of that year were not wrong at all. Even the handwriting was exactly the same. If I had not personally experienced the battle three years ago and knew that the military recorder Li Liang was dead, I might have been fooled. The person who wrote the military report must be very familiar with the military situation, and even very familiar with the Su family army in the north and myself.

This person could not be Su Ruofu, she doesn't have such ability, who gave her this military report? To frame the Su family behind the scenes.

Su Jingchen stood at the side of the table, looking at the military newspaper with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

That person forged the military report and wanted to frame the Su family, but since he knew my father's way of fighting so well, the military report was written in such detail, and everything was done so perfectly, how could he not know that the military reporter at that time was dead.

Prince Ling usually dared not say a word in the court, but today he was so domineering to visit the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, which means that he was very sure that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion would confirm what happened today. Judging from Prince Ling's appearance today, he seemed to have really found the military clerk. If not, he would not have acted so rashly.

He felt that this matter was not aimed at the Zhenguo Mansion, but was a trap to lure Prince Ling into it step by step, making him believe that the Zhenguo Mansion had done something to deceive the emperor. Fortunately, this matter was exposed at the court meeting today.

"Achen, go and check what happened today. I always feel a little uneasy. Something is not right." The Duke of Zhenguo frowned and ordered Su Jingchen. The person who set up the trap was very familiar with the Su family army and himself. He was afraid that there was a traitor in the Su family.

"Yes." Su Jingchen was also puzzled as to who he was and why he used the Su family to deal with Prince Ling.
