Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

The assassin was brought up, tied up and trembling on his knees.

Lin Muheng and Jiang He stood aside solemnly, their faces full of solemnity.

Someone actually dared to assassinate in the palace. This is too bold.

However, the two of them made great contributions in the successful capture of the assassin.

Lin Mushen, who was not far away, gnashed his teeth in anger and cursed in his heart: Why are these two people here again? They always ruin my good things and go against me everywhere. They are simply stumbling blocks on my way forward!

At this moment, Lin Mushen stared at the assassin fiercely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Emperor Rong Sheng who had been observing everyone. Emperor Rong Sheng's face darkened and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Lin Mushen, kneel down for me!"

This sudden scolding made Lin Mushen stunned for a moment, and he was unable to react for a while.

Seeing this, the eunuch beside him hurriedly whispered, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Kneel down quickly!"

Hearing Eunuch Wang's call, Lin Mushen woke up as if from a dream. He fell to his knees with a plop and said tremblingly, "Father! I am here!"

Emperor Rong Sheng's eyes widened with anger, and he pointed at Lin Mushen and shouted, "How dare you collude with the assassin to plot evil? Come on, arrest him for me!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang He and a group of well-trained guards quickly stepped forward and twisted Lin Mushen's arms back with force.

"Father, it's unfair!" Lin Mushen was terrified, with cold sweat on his forehead.

His brain was working rapidly, trying to recall what had happened, trying to find out which link had gone wrong that allowed him to be discovered by the emperor on the spot.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.

Emperor Rong Sheng had a gloomy face, staring coldly at Lin Mushen who was kneeling below him, and said in a cold voice: "Humph, tell me clearly, how did I wrong you? Could it be that this daring assassin who sneaked into the palace to assassinate me was secretly arranged by you?"

Hearing this, Lin Mushen was shocked, but still forced himself to remain calm and shouted loudly: "Father! How can you slander me like this? I know nothing about this so-called assassin. I am really wronged!"

However, he secretly thought in his heart that he had always acted carefully and cautiously, so how could he be discovered so easily?

At this moment, Concubine Zheng beside her also knelt down hurriedly and pleaded in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down! This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Shen'er. Please be clear about this!"

Emperor Rong Sheng turned to look at Concubine Zheng and snorted coldly, "Oh? According to what you said, could it be that this matter is related to you?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng's face turned pale instantly, and she quickly shook her head to deny it, "No, no, no, Your Majesty, I know nothing about this matter!"

She secretly groaned in her heart, never expecting that things would develop to this point.

Emperor Rong Sheng suddenly raised his voice and asked sternly, "Since you don't know about the assassin, then do you know about my poisoning?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the palace. Not only was Concubine Zheng trembling with fear, but everyone present was also stunned and began to whisper to each other.

No one expected that the emperor, who was so high and mighty, would be poisoned!

Facing the questioning of Emperor Rong Sheng, Concubine Zheng still clenched her teeth and refused to admit: "Your Majesty, I really don't know anything about poisoning!"

A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Rong Sheng's eyes. He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Come here, bring the person up!" As his order was given, footsteps were soon heard outside the hall, and several guards escorted a panicked eunuch in.

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, trembling all over, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Your Majesty! I am truly wronged! Please, Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"

At this moment, he raised his head in horror, and his eyes happened to fall on Concubine Zheng who was also kneeling not far away.

In an instant, his heart sank to the bottom and a feeling of despair surged in his heart, because he knew very well that he was probably doomed this time.

And when he tremblingly met Lin Mushen's sinister and cold eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts again, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He lowered his head in panic and dared not look at him again.

At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and confusion, because he knew very well that if he gave out the mastermind behind the scenes - Prince Jin, then with Prince Jin's methods and ruthlessness, he would definitely not let his family go easily.

Thinking of this, he bit his lips tightly, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body trembled involuntarily.

The lawsuit between the two did not escape the eyes of Emperor Rong Sheng.

"Don't admit it! I think you won't cry until you see the coffin.

At this stalemate, Duke Zheng, who had been silent, slowly spoke up: "Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts. Don't be blinded by the treacherous. Although the eunuch seems guilty, he may have been framed. As for Concubine Zheng, Your Majesty has been with her for many years and knows her character well. She will not do such a treasonous thing."

Emperor Rong Sheng frowned slightly: "Duke Zheng is trying to excuse him, does he know the inside story?"

When the eunuch heard the queen's words, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he kowtowed and shouted, "Duke, help me, I was indeed framed."

Emperor Rong Sheng's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped at Concubine Zheng: "Then according to the Duke's opinion, if it wasn't Concubine Zheng who did it, who could it be?"

Duke Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind this, rather than rushing to convict.

Maybe someone deliberately stirs up trouble to disrupt the harem and threaten the stability of the court."

Emperor Rong Sheng sneered and said, "The assassins are all in the palace trying to kill me. Should I let them go?"
