She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

This caused him to lose self-control, but because the dosage was very light, Chu Cong just thought that he was really mesmerized by her beauty and went a little too far in bed.

You should know that using certain aphrodisiacs too much can harm your fertility.

This is another form of chronic poisoning. Fortunately, Fuhui discovered it early.

It's all been dealt with now.

Although he did not explicitly issue an order saying that the women in the East Palace were not allowed to use incense, he only spread vague news -

The prince doesn't like incense.

In this way, those women in the backyard who are interested will naturally not use it anymore.

Qiao Zhenzhen naturally reminded Chu Cong again, asking him to be extra careful.

Chu Cong promised to be more cautious in the future, and mentioned the incident with the poisonous oleander flowers in the imperial garden.

"You wouldn't know until you ask. I found out that the gardener who planted the flowers and the one who bought them are no longer around. They didn't leave the palace, but died of illness. I also asked my mother, and she said she didn't pay attention to when the bamboo was planted, but it was certain that it was more than ten years ago."

The flowers and plants planted in the Imperial Garden are often changed.

Unless you are knowledgeable or a flower lover who pays special attention to details, it is difficult to detect.

Queen Tong has too many things to take care of when managing the harem, just like a company's president who wouldn't worry about what varieties of green plants to buy for decorating the building.

It was not her business.

But it is a bit strange that all the people who used to buy and plant the crops have died.

"It's been so long, and the people are gone, so it's really hard to check." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Why not just clear them all? They're just some flowers and trees, and no one will come out to stop us if we do it."

Chu Cong smiled and said, "I have had those poisonous trees replaced. I didn't just replace those trees, I replaced all the flowers and trees in half of the imperial garden. No one has come out to say they disagree. If someone really did come out, it would be a relief, but the people behind the scenes have been planning for a long time, and they obviously won't be so impatient."

"That's right." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm by your side, I won't let anyone poison you. Unless it's a deadly poison. But... given the current situation, there's no point in doing that. It's not worth it."

The reason for using a chronic poison is to make it appear that it is not poisoning.

If she starts poisoning this person directly, who can guarantee that she will be absolutely safe in the palace? Just as she said, the way to obtain highly toxic poisons is much simpler than ordinary people imagine.

It is very easy to kill people directly.

The difficulty lies in how to leave no trace and not be noticed.

Chu Cong looked at her, "Is it because of this that, during this autumn hunt, while everyone else was fine, someone targeted you and wanted to kill you?"

"This isn't the first time someone wants to kill me." Qiao Zhenzhen smiled easily.

Han Zheng rubbed her ponytailed head and asked, "Is this something worth showing off?"

Qiao Zhenzhen gently slapped his hand away and fixed her hair. "What can I do? Who made me so capable?"

"It's better to be careful." Chu Cong advised with some concern, "Do you need me to send some people to you?"

Before Qiao Zhenzhen could speak, Han Zheng said, "No, the guards at the Duke's Mansion are enough to protect her."

Why does he need another man to protect his wife?

Even if he is a prince who grew up together with you, it won’t work.

Chu Cong did not force it, "If you encounter something that cannot be solved, just talk to me."

"Of course." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't be polite with you."

After Chu Cong left, Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Although everyone thinks that this may be because I am the disciple of the Divine Doctor, I have a hunch that it is because of you."

She poked Han Zheng's shoulder with her finger in dissatisfaction.

This is a romance novel after all, and thinking from the perspective of a love-sick person is often reasonable.

"No way." Han Zheng grabbed her fingers, brought them to his mouth and kissed them gently.

The skin on the back of her hands was soft, but there were calluses on the palms.

Spreading out her palm and examining it, Han Zheng said with emotion: "Fortunately, you are learning archery seriously, instead of just doing it perfunctorily."

In fact, even if she didn't know how to shoot arrows, ten thousand could still kill the tiger - Qiao Zhenzhen thought so.

But...it's still safer to be stronger.

There are times when Yiwan is not there, who can say for sure? When she was blocked by Princess Shenghua in the palace before, Yiwan and Han Zheng were not there, so in the end she had to rely on herself.

"Thank you for my recent efforts. Of course, it is inseparable from my husband taking time out of his busy schedule to tutor me. Speaking of which, you are the hero behind today's events."

Qiao Zhenzhen praised him highly.

As a man, you need to give compliments from time to time and provide some emotional value.

Han Zheng smiled modestly, "Your own efforts are more important."

But it was obvious that he was very happy that she said that.

"Oh, by the way, I was so busy before that I forgot to ask, how is County Master Shenghua doing now? Has she been sentenced?"

"Some time ago, the Eighth Prince raised an army in Suzhou."

Han Zheng did not mention Princess Shenghua directly, but explained the recent situation of the Eighth Prince.

Suzhou and Guazhou were originally fiefs of the eight princes, but later Emperor Kangde took back Guazhou.

Qiao Zhenzhen was slightly surprised, but only to a limited extent.

Mo Qingyang had told her earlier that Emperor Kangde hoped that the Eighth Prince would rebel.

Since there is hope, there will definitely be some preparation, so she is not too worried about the war. It's just that the common people over there will still suffer to some extent.

"But your majesty has been on guard against him for a long time. The surrounding troops reacted quickly. There is no big problem for the time being. There is no need to worry about involving Shangjing City."

"No wonder not many people here talk about this." Qiao Zhenzhen said, "Many people may not know that the Eighth Prince rebelled."

"Yes, His Majesty has no intention of spreading the news, so as not to cause unrest."

"Then the County Master Shenghua..."

"The original Dali Temple sentence was exile," Han Zheng said, "but because the Eighth Prince rebelled, the sentence was changed to immediate execution. Speaking of which..." He thought for a moment, "The sentence should be carried out next month, before the beginning of winter."

"The Eighth Prince has given up on his only daughter," Qiao Zhenzhen asked, "Didn't he send anyone to Beijing to rescue her?"

Han Zheng shook his head. "The Eighth Prince actually has a son outside, but because of the princess, he has been hiding it privately."

"It seems that the Princess of Eighth County is the real tigress."

But there's nothing wrong with sticking to yourself.

"Pity."

There is no good ending.

She will be beheaded next month, and the role of County Master Shenghua ends here.

She was a blessed girl, and she didn't go crazy because of a man.

It would be fine if she just stayed in her fiefdom, but she had to go to the capital to cause trouble. Little did she know that the current Mo Qingyang was no longer the Mo Qingyang of the past. Touching her daughter would just give the emperor an excuse.

I am really crazy about love and don't care about anything.

Qiao Zhenzhen did not sympathize with her.

Putting aside the fact that she was in love, County Lady Shenghua's behavior was truly despicable.

Just because of her damaged appearance, she could blind other people's eyes if they looked at her a few more times. This was in Shangjing City. If it was in Suzhou, I don't know how lawless she would be.

The law of nature is clear, cause and effect will prevail.

She must go and see the execution on the day.
