The imperial concubine was kicked to the ground, covering her chest with a look of disbelief on her face.

She has always been the most favored concubine in the palace, and the emperor loves her very much.

Now, he kicked himself directly.

Or he did it to himself in front of so many people.

This is enough to show how angry the emperor is about this matter.

The Queen, standing by, suppressed the urge to smile as she watched the Imperial Concubine being treated like this.

The imperial concubine was very favored by the emperor and had always been arrogant and domineering, but now, she has ended up like this!

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

Eunuch Fang Su suddenly came over with a group of people.

He bowed to His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that the Duke of Zhenguo is critically ill and the forced search of his mansion has caused him to become poisoned."

When the emperor heard this, his expression paused, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He immediately asked, "How is the Duke of Zhenguo now? Isn't the imperial physician always there?"

Eunuch Fang Su cupped his hands and replied, "After the treatment of the imperial physician, the Duke of Zhenguo is now in stable condition."

The emperor's brows relaxed, as if he felt a hint of regret.

But in a moment, his stern look returned.

He looked coldly at His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

He scolded, "Look at what you have done! The Duke of Zhenguo has devoted himself to the Great Zhou and has made great contributions to the Baili family. Now, he has returned home due to injuries, and you are still suspicious of him! I was so angry that I fell ill."

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an had a heavy expression on his face.

He kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Father, please forgive me. I misunderstood this matter. I just listened to the slander. I am innocent!"

Jiang Lingyi, who was standing aside, kowtowed to His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, please help my father! Could it be that just because of slander, my father should be allowed to suffer this injustice?"

Upon hearing this, His Majesty looked rather cold and looked at His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Pass on my decree to confine Prince Cheng'an for three months! He is not allowed to leave the palace and must reflect on his mistakes facing the wall. Tell those guys in the Imperial Hospital to save the Duke of Zhenguo's life at all costs! In addition, reward the Duke of Zhenguo with a thousand taels of gold as compensation."

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an had a look of surprise and reluctance in his eyes, but he kowtowed vigorously and said, "Your son accepts the order!"

In the end, Princess Tuya still failed to find a husband of her dreams.

This ridiculous banquet ended in such a hurry.

Not only did it fail to bring about a happy event, but it also made everyone worried and scared.

It was not until after leaving the palace that Jiang Wanqing prepared to return to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion with Jiang Lingyi.

But Zhou Zigu seemed a little absent-minded.

However, when he knew that Jiang Wanqing was going to Zhenguogong, he forced himself to follow him.

Jiang Wanqing and Zhou Zigu rode in the same carriage.

Jiang Wanqing saw that Zhou Zigu's face looked very ugly.

So she kindly comforted him, "The Marquis treats me really well, but, Eunuch Fang Su just said that my father's condition is under control. You don't have to worry about him so much. My father is a god of war with nine lives. He will never die easily. Looking at your husband's current appearance, he is more worried about my father than I am."

Zhou Zigu heard this and looked up at Jiang Wanqing.

It was only later that I realized that I had gone too far.

However, his current mood was such that he could no longer care about those things.

His mind was filled with the last look that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an gave him.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an did not give him away.

But Zhou Zigu also understood that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an might not trust him that much anymore.

If you want to stand firmly on the same boat with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an, then there is only one last way left...

That was also the method he least wanted to use.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zigu looked at Jiang Wanqing and explained: "My father-in-law is the general of the Great Zhou. His safety is related to the safety of the Great Zhou. Naturally, I will be more worried."

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If I hadn't guessed what Zhou Zigu was thinking at this moment, I would have been really moved by his sincere words.

Jiang Wanqing paused, then asked, "It seems that the relationship between the Marquis and Her Royal Highness the Princess is not as explained before."

Zhou Zigu was startled and frowned, with some worry in his eyes.

Then he asked, "What did Her Royal Highness the Princess say to you earlier?"

Jiang Wanqing shook her head: "Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't say anything, she just praised you and said that I was lucky to marry you."

Zhou Zi breathed a sigh of relief without even noticing.

Then he explained: "Her Royal Highness the Princess just admires me a little. If there is anything, she and I are just close friends. Don't think too much."

Jiang Wanqing smiled, bent over, and nodded: "Of course I believe in the Marquis. After all, the Marquis is so worried about my father, it must be because he cares too much about me."

When Zhou Zigu heard this, he was stunned and showed an indescribable expression.

So he didn't say anything else.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

However, when Jiang Wanqing and the others got off the carriage, they saw that Eunuch Fang Su had already stopped in front of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Everyone walked towards the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

But they were stopped one by one by Eunuch Fang Su.

Jiang Lingyi narrowed her eyes slightly: "What does this mean, Eunuch Fang Su?"

Eunuch Fang Su explained: "The emperor has instructed that for the safety of the Duke of Zhenguo, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Lord Jiang can enter the mansion, but..."

Eunuch Fang Su paused and looked at Jiang Wanqing and Zhou Zigu.

Then he said, "Since Miss Jiang has married into the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion, these idle people naturally include the Zhou family."

Jiang Wanqing rolled her eyes at Eunuch Fang Su.

He said, "My last name is Jiang! Why can't I disturb my own father?"

Eunuch Fang Su hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay. Then Miss Jiang can go in, but Master Zhou doesn't have to."

Zhou Zigu frowned when he heard this.

He came here just to find out.

I want to see what happened to the Duke of Zhenguo. Could it be that his injury is really that serious?

Why did the letter of treason that I originally hid become a suicide note?

Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo discovered something?

Who did each of these things?

Zhou Zigu needs to find out.

But Eunuch Fang Su actually said that he could not enter the mansion, and Zhou Zigu suddenly became unhappy.

He asked, "Eunuch Fang Su, I am also the son-in-law of the Jiang family. How come I am an outsider? I care about my own father-in-law. Is that wrong?"
