Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 324 Jiang Wange Touched the Emperor's Minefield

Jiang Wange vaguely remembered that Down syndrome was first reported by a British doctor in the late 19th century.

The ancients did not have the concept of Down syndrome children at all. Usually, when a child grew up and was discovered to have low intelligence, they would call him an idiot.

No wonder so many doctors in the palace failed to find out that something was wrong with the third prince, and only she discovered the abnormality.

This feeling of standing on the shoulders of giants and looking at the world makes Jiang Wange have a natural contempt for the ancients, which is also the source of her sense of superiority!

Mo Yun asked in confusion: "May I ask, Madam, why are you always so sure?"

Jiang Wange said disdainfully: "Some things are explained to you, but you won't understand. Anyway, just let someone tell father this."

Mo Yun lowered her head: "Yes."

……

Royal study room.

The emperor is meeting with Gu Jinxiao and a group of his trusted ministers.

After everyone reported on the progress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion over the past few days, they talked about another matter.

"…Your Majesty, most of the caravans sent by the Duke of Zhenguo to smuggle goods outside the region have been controlled by our people. The remaining few fish that escaped the net are also being hunted down. Even if they are not caught, they will not be able to cause any trouble."

"The private soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo are basically supported by the profits of the smuggling caravans. If the source of silver is cut off, they will definitely cause trouble in a short time."

"only……"

Nangong Xuanyu asked: "Just what?"

The minister continued, "It's just that... Concubine Wen gave the hot pot recipe to the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo owns many large restaurants, all in the best locations in the capital."

"And the common people have always liked to pursue things that are famous in the royal family. The common people and dignitaries in the capital know that hot pot was invented by Concubine Wen, and there is an endless stream of people patronizing it every day. Just from those big restaurants, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion can make a lot of money!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid that all the efforts we've made to combat the smuggling caravans of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion these days will be in vain..."

Hearing this, Nangong Xuanyu's face darkened slightly.

He once thought that Concubine Wen was from a side branch and might not know about the Duke of Zhenguo's evil ambitions.

However, this time, just as he secretly sent people to eliminate the smuggling caravan of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Concubine Wen came up with a new way to make money for the Duke of Zhenguo.

Who would believe that she is innocent?

How much did Concubine Wen participate in the plots of the Duke of Zhenguo?

"I know about this matter and I will deal with it myself."

"Yes!"

……

Shufangzhai, stage.

Concubine Kang received the message from Shen Zhinian and came to the appointment on time: "I pay my respects to Concubine Rou, and wish you good luck and peace!"

Shen Zhinian waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

"Liang Fei is under house arrest, and it is inconvenient to enter and leave Changchun Palace. How have you been these days?"

Concubine Kang smiled and said, "The guards guarding Changchun Palace are only targeting Concubine Liang. And since she was imprisoned by His Majesty, she has been staying in the main palace. The guards are happy to be idle and have not made things difficult for me and other palace maids."

Shen Zhinian nodded: "That's good."

Concubine Kang asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty is being so mysterious, I guess it's not just to talk to me, right?"

Shen Zhinian put on a serious expression: "I do have something that I would like Youran to help me with. But if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Although she and Concubine Kang are allies, their relationship is not as close as that of Concubine Sun, who lives with her. Concubine Kang and Concubine Liang have no grudges on the surface, and Shen Zhinian does not know whether the other party is willing to help.

If Concubine Kang doesn't want to, she can just use other methods.

Concubine Kang's expression also became serious: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Shen Zhinian said: "The person who poisoned Liu Changzai was not Concubine Liang, but Concubine De. I have some clues and would like you to reveal them secretly to the people in Changchun Palace."

Concubine Kang was not stupid. After considering what had happened recently, she quickly figured out the reason.

On the day of Lord Shen's celebration banquet, Concubine Rou was nearly dragged into Concubine De's evil scheme. It was normal for her to want Concubine De and Concubine Liang to fight so that she could reap the benefits.

In the final analysis, alliances are based on interests. She once joined forces with Concubine Rou to overthrow Liu Ruyan because Liu Ruyan had harmed her child, so she naturally had no regrets.

But whether or not to make an enemy of Concubine Liang... Putting aside her friendship with Concubine Rou, Concubine Kang rationally analyzed the pros and cons of this matter in her mind.

Shen Zhinian was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Concubine Kang to consider it.

Although everyone in the palace already knew that Concubine Liang was not as kind as she seemed, before this, she had disguised herself very well as a good person. During the time they lived in the same palace, no one had ever embarrassed her.

But ever since Concubine Liang's reputation for purity began to crumble, Concubine Kang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious...

At that time, she hadn't even discovered that she was pregnant, so how did Liu Ruyan know and try to harm her child? The Queen stood behind Liu Ruyan, but how did the Queen know about it?

It was hard for Concubine Kang not to suspect that Concubine Liang, who lived in the same palace with her, had noticed something, so she revealed the matter to the Empress in order to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Although she had no evidence, her woman's intuition made her unable to control her thoughts...

And... how could she, a mere noble lady, compete with so many favored concubines in the harem? If she wanted to climb up, she had to work hard to get along well with Concubine Rou!

Now that the olive branch is extended to her, if she doesn't find a way to grab it, the opportunity will be snatched away by others, and it will be too late to regret it!

Thinking of this, Concubine Kang's eyes gradually became firm. She looked at Shen Zhinian and said seriously, "As long as Concubine Rou orders, I will not refuse as long as I can do it!"

Shen Zhinian likes to deal with smart people, so he motioned Fuqiu to hand the things in his hand to Concubine Kang: "These portraits are all the nails that Concubine De used in the harem."

"After you quietly reveal the news to Concubine Liang, whether she can find these people depends on her own ability."

Concubine Kang took the portrait and said, "I understand!"

Today they were meeting in secret, so it was not advisable to delay too long. After this episode, the two of them separated and left.

Concubine Kang did not plan to take action now, because as soon as she left Changchun Palace, evidence appeared in front of Concubine Liang. Wouldn't that be incriminating herself?

She decided to lie low and wait for the right opportunity.

On the way back to Zhongcui Palace, Handan asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, with the intelligence of Concubine Liang, she must have figured out that someone wants her to fight with Concubine De. Will she follow our plan?"

Shen Zhinian curled his lips and smiled: "So what if you thought of it?"
