Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Even if Censor Zhu did not have a stroke, since Madam Zhu said so, he did not dare to say anything else, because he did not know who was controlling all this behind the scenes. Even if he guessed that it was the queen, so what? Where was the evidence? Madam Zhu herself admitted that she wanted to avenge her daughter.

The more Censor Zhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He now regretted helping Su Xuan transport gunpowder into Shengjing to kill the Jiang family, and even offending the Empress, which led to her revenge.

Xie Shang looked at Censor Zhu, his voice full of concern and grief, "Doctor Mei must cure Lord Zhu's illness. I will send someone to send Lord Zhu back home to recuperate. You can come to court after you recover!"

With his back to everyone, Xie Shang glanced at Imperial Physician Mei with cold eyes. Imperial Physician Mei's pupils changed color with fear. He already knew in his heart what the emperor was thinking, which was to keep Censor Zhu sick forever.

Doctor Mei said quickly, "I will do my best to cure Censor Zhu's illness."

The reason why Imperial Physician Mei was so highly valued by the late emperor was that, apart from his excellent medical skills, he also had to learn to understand the emperor's thoughts.

As soon as Xie Shang left the barracks, Shang Hong caught up with him, "Your Majesty."

Xie Shang stared into his eyes and said coldly, "Although it was Madam Zhu who set you up, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, you were not alert at all. If it wasn't for Madam Zhu wanting to avenge her daughter, if someone else wanted to harm you, you would have been dead long ago, and even the entire palace would have perished because of your dereliction of duty. Shang Hong, do you admit your guilt?"

Shang Hong knelt on the ground immediately and said, "I know my crime. I was blinded by evil spirits for a moment and shouldn't have brought Zhu Yiyi into the palace without permission. I almost made a big mistake. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xie Shang fell into deep thought. He carefully recalled what Madam Zhu said. From Madam Zhu's confession, it was obvious that she only found out about Zhu Yiyi's entry into the palace later.

He suddenly asked, "When did you bring Zhu Yiyi into the palace, and who knew she entered the palace?"

Shang Hong was stunned and said quickly, "At noon, she was confined to her house by Censor Zhu, and it was her maid who delivered a letter to the Shang Mansion. After Censor Zhu and Madam Zhu left the house, I went to pick her up and bring her into the palace." Naturally, no one checked the person he brought into the palace at the palace gate.

Shang Hong recalled again, "Among the Royal Guards in the camp, no one else knew that I brought a woman into the palace except for the brothers in the camp. Why would the emperor ask this?"

Xie Shang said, "It's nothing." It's no secret since so many people know it.

He added, "Zhu Yiyi deserved to die. It's not worth it for a woman like this. Lord Shang will find a better match."

Shang Hong said in a deep voice, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been deceived by her and almost made a big mistake. Now that she is dead, the engagement between me and the Zhu family is annulled."

"Even if I know I'm wrong, I will punish him." Xie Shang said coldly, "The safety inside and outside the imperial city depends on Commander Shang to take care of it. Lord Shang is my father's right-hand man, and also mine."

After saying that, he left the West Palace Camp. Shang Hong did not expect that the emperor did not punish her and asked him to guard the imperial city well. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to serve you."

Xie Shang was very good at manipulating people's hearts. He punished Shang Hong and said that it was all the Zhu family's fault. However, Censor Zhu had suffered a stroke and his mouth was crooked. Zhu Yiyi also died, and the matter came to a perfect end.

Xie Shang came out of the West Palace Camp and asked his trusted guards, "Where is the Queen? Where is the maid I asked you to keep an eye on?"

The guard reported, "The queen has returned to the Chenxi Palace. After the queen left, the queen Ronghua and the maids returned to the Chaoyang Palace and have not come out yet."

Xie Shang fell into deep thought again. Jiang Fenghua should know that she is Qin Yunyan!

In fact, Qin Yunyan had already changed into the blue cotton coat she wore in the laundry department and sneaked out of Chaoyang Palace. She just wanted to use Shu Yan's identity to move around the palace more conveniently. Who knew that Shu Yan was also an impatient and brainless woman, and she told everything after being frightened by Queen Jiang.

At this time she was anxious because the queen knew their intentions and thought she was trying to seduce the emperor.

The queen even asked her to be a good maid and behave herself, otherwise her life would be in danger.

She wanted to sneak out of the palace to find Madam Xiang during the Lantern Festival banquet, otherwise she would be killed by the Queen.

Qin Yunyan's every move was under Jiang Fenghua's surveillance.

When Xie Shang arrived at Chaoyang Palace, he saw that the entire Chaoyang Palace was ecstatic. Concubine Lan happened to run into the emperor and hurriedly went up to pay her respects, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

She thought the emperor wanted to rest in Chaoyang Palace, and his face looked very attentive.

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "No need to be polite. I'm here to see Shu Ronghua today. Go and call her out!" He meant that he wanted to meet Shu Yan in the main hall.

Helan Yanran's smile was a little awkward. She actually wanted to win the emperor's heart. She was the mistress of Chaoyang Palace, and Shu Yan was only a fourth-rank Ronghua. When she heard that the emperor came to find Shu Yan, she was confused.

When Shu Yan heard that the emperor had come to Chaoyang Palace and specifically asked to see her, she had already taken off her shoes, socks and clothes to sleep, but she didn't expect the emperor to come to see her.

Just as Shu Yan came out dressed neatly, Xie Shang yawned unconsciously. He was indeed tired today.

Shu Yan wondered why the emperor came to Chaoyang Palace to find her so late. Was the emperor going to stay in Chaoyang Palace tonight?

She felt excited just thinking about it.

Xie Shang stared at her face and asked in a cold voice, "Where is the maid who was with you today?"

Shu Yan was stunned, her face almost cracked.

There seemed to be only fear and hesitation in the corners of her eyes.

-

In Chenxi Palace, after Jiang Fenghua returned to the palace, a palace maid came forward to massage her back and legs. She leaned lazily on the couch and was indeed tired.

When she heard that Qin Yunyan had sneaked out of Chaoyang Palace, she asked Aoxue to follow her secretly, because she knew that Qin Yunyan would go to find Su Qingqing.

In the end, Qin Yunyan returned to the laundry bureau as Xin'er, and someone helped her along the way. She wondered: Is Su Qingqing hiding in the laundry bureau? Or is there someone with Su Qingqing in the laundry bureau?

The laundry department is a mixed bag and it is not easy to arrange people there. Su Tingwan had stayed there before, and there was also the person who disguised himself as Su Qingqing and lived in the cold palace.

At this moment, the sound of palace servants paying respect to the emperor was heard outside the door.

Jiang Fenghua was about to get down from the couch when he heard the news. Xie Shang took two steps at a time and came to Jiang Fenghua's side. "The queen is in poor health, so there is no need to perform the formalities."

Jiang Fenghua sat up straight and said softly, "Why is the emperor here at this hour? Has the matter over there been dealt with?"

Xie Shang frowned, "Everything has been dealt with. Censor Zhu is ill, and I don't know when he will recover. It turns out that everything was planned by Madam Zhu. Her purpose was to avenge Zhu Zhenzhen."

Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "When will the cycle of revenge end? We are sisters. I hope that after this incident, Zhu Yiyi will behave herself."

"She's dead. She was killed by Madam Liu. Madam Liu is really loyal to her master." Xie Shang stared into Jiang Fenghua's eyes. "It's just as the queen analyzed at the beginning. Zhu Yiyi has admitted that she and Qin Yunyan drugged Zhu Zhenzhen."

Jiang Fenghua was first sad, then shocked, and finally relieved. "She's dead. Is this what evil pays off?"

Xie Shang smiled, "I think so! God will punish her for her bad deeds."
