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

Crown Prince Mu Feng deliberately concealed his itinerary and sneaked to Wushao secretly.

The Wushao Casino happened to be opening at the time and was caught by the prince. He led his men to surround the entire Wushao Casino, and not even a fly could fly out.

The people in the casino were surrounded without any warning, and many account books and evidence were seized by the prince's men before they could be destroyed.

The entire Wushao Casino detained more than 500 thugs. After careful investigation, it was found that nearly half of them were innocent people forcibly captured by the casino from all over the country. They smuggled innocent people and killed the people.

The amount of gambling money found in the casino was even more astonishing. Not only that, they also found something that surprised the prince, the "Silver Illusion Powder" from Nanyue.

Silver Illusion Powder, if consumed, will cause hallucinations and addiction. Once infected, it will make people lose their minds and corrupt their hearts. This drug is a banned drug in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Zhou hated these things the most, and he didn't expect that he would find such a large amount of them in the casino.

The prince looked at the box full of letters and certificates. It turned out that the officials involved were really bold in privately selling the banned drugs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, namely Yinhuan Powder.

He glared at the casino owner, who had hidden the box of evidence right under the noses of those officials. It seemed that the relationship between Prince Chen and Concubine Shu was not as strong as he had imagined.

"Keep an eye on the Wushao County Magistrate. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Wushao until I escort all relevant personnel back to Beijing, and then the Wushao city gate will be opened. Anyone who violates the rules or behaves abnormally will be killed without mercy!" The prince said in a deep voice, looking at the people gathered outside the casino.

The county magistrate of Wushao sent people to watch over the prince as soon as he arrived in Wushao. He also had Wushao blocked and the city gates strictly guarded, so that no one in the city could easily spread the news.

The prince must secretly escort the person back to the imperial capital before anyone reacts, and he must not alert anyone. The relevant personnel all hold important positions in the six ministries. If he alerts the people inside, this matter will not achieve the desired effect.

He wanted to make sure that Prince Chen and his party would lose the chance to compete with him! He wanted his father to be disappointed with Prince Chen from now on!

That night, the prince detained the man in his own house and then entered the palace overnight.

The next day,

Zhenguogongfu

"Miss, His Majesty is furious. He issued an edict early this morning, dispatching the Imperial Guards to personally seal off the residences of all officials on the list given by Young Master Lu that day without going through the six ministries. I heard that the prince found the banned drug of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Nanyue Yinhuan Powder, in the Wushao Casino yesterday. This drug was actually introduced to the imperial capital not long ago, and now I'm afraid many people in the capital have been infected with it." Yun Qing told Su Jingning the news she had received.

"Silver Illusion Powder? They actually still sell this thing! Haha - they are really digging their own graves." Su Jingning frowned and sneered.

"Yes, it is said that the amount seized is quite large. His Majesty was so angry that he issued several decrees, sending people to strictly investigate those who are selling and consuming it in the capital. Now there are Imperial Guards everywhere outside investigating. His Majesty didn't even use people from the six ministries. He only sent the Imperial Guards and Prince Gu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to investigate the matter." Yun Qing thought about the Imperial Guards who were searching everywhere outside the mansion today. Now the streets of the capital are in panic, and the officials in the capital are all worried, afraid that they will be accidentally involved.

"Is there any movement from Concubine Shu and Prince Chen?" Su Jingning asked with a frown.

"I don't know what's going on in the palace yet, but early this morning, Eunuch Sheng went to Prince Chen's Mansion with His Majesty's imperial edict, and no one has come out of Prince Chen's Mansion since then."

Su Jingning took a sip of tea, a smile on his face, but a chilling coldness in his eyes.

"Oh, I see."

The Crown Prince reported the matter yesterday evening. The biggest backers of this casino are Concubine Shu and Prince Chen. How could the Crown Prince let them go?

Sit back and watch the tigers fight, the real show has just begun.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Zhou stood in the palace of Concubine Shu with a dark face.

With a terrifying murderous aura, he looked at Concubine Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, her face pale and trembling with fear.

"Shen Rui! I never realized you had such courage over the years! You set up a private gambling house and murdered innocent people. You did all this right under my nose. You also bribed and threatened court officials and sold banned drugs privately in the capital! You and your son are so bold!" Emperor Zhou was so angry that he threw everything in front of him at Concubine Shu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Please listen to my explanation! Your Majesty, I have no idea how the Silver Illusion Powder appeared in the casino! Also, that casino is not mine. I manage it on behalf of my mother, and I was forced by my mother. Your Majesty! This matter has nothing to do with Heng'er!" Concubine Shu ignored the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and rushed towards Emperor Zhou and hugged his feet.

Emperor Zhou looked down at the embarrassed Concubine Shu at his feet, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes:

"Heh - you're even accusing my mother! If it weren't for the Crown Prince, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark by you and your son! Selling the Silver Illusion Powder privately in the Imperial Capital! You're trying to harm the Great Zhou! Go explain to the people of the Imperial Capital! Go explain to the people who have been harmed by the Silver Illusion Powder!"

Emperor Zhou kicked Concubine Shu away with a fierce kick, his expression cold and hard, and strode out of Concubine Shu's palace gate.

Concubine Shu was kicked to the ground by Emperor Zhou, and her arm was pierced by the porcelain pieces on the ground. Blood rolled out, and her graceful and beautiful face was now in a state of embarrassment.

The cold voice of Emperor Zhou outside the palace reached her ears: "Noble Concubine Shu has violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. From today on, she will be stripped of her Noble Concubine rank, imprisoned in Xiefang Palace, and strictly guarded! No one is allowed to visit her!"

Concubine Shu fell to the ground instantly, muttering, "How could this happen! How could it be discovered......\"

"What should I do? Ade, someone come, where is Eunuch De? Let him come to see me quickly." Concubine Shu seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and shouted towards the door with a somewhat confused look.

A little palace maid ran into the hall and tried to help Concubine Shu up:

"My Lady, My Lady, you are injured. I will help you up first."

Concubine Shu pushed the maid away and yelled at her, "Where's Ade? Why hasn't he come back yet? I want to see him!"

The little maid was so frightened that she hid back and said, "Madam, I don't know. Eunuch De has been missing for a few days. I don't know where he is."

Concubine Shu suddenly remembered that Ade had been missing for several days.

"Get out! Get out!" The little palace maid was so scared by her yell that she stumbled out.

Concubine Su slowly supported herself and stood up, wiping the blood off her hands.

She couldn't panic, nor could she fall down. His Majesty had not revealed what crime she had committed, nor had he asked the imperial guards to seal off Heng'er's mansion.

This matter involves a wide range of people. It is a scandal in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the people knew that this matter was caused by me and Heng'er, they would certainly criticize the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If this matter were to spread, it would be detrimental to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty will not let outsiders know about the Wushao Casino and the involvement of Heng'er and yourself.

Such a big thing happened. She knew in her heart that the officials involved were all cronies of the Shen family. If they all got into trouble, the Shen family's status in the court would inevitably plummet, and Heng'er would never be able to ascend to the throne in the future.

If the Queen Mother knew that she was selling Yinhuan Powder privately in the Wushao Casino, it would be over. Once this happened, Qingzhou would definitely get the news. Before the Queen Mother returned to Beijing, she had to resolve the matter of her mother selling Yinhuan Powder privately behind her back.

Otherwise, my mother would not save me.

Damn Mu Feng, when did he start investigating this matter? She didn't even receive any information. And he was so meticulous. She underestimated him all these years.
