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

Lin Mushen slowly bent his knees and knelt on the cold, hard ground again.

He made such a fuss with such fanfare, how could the ministers present not understand the real intention behind his actions?

At this moment, Lin Mushen forced himself to suppress the burning hatred in his heart. However, this hatred was like a surging tide, constantly hitting the bank of his rationality.

Despite this, he tried his best to conceal his hatred and not let it show easily, but a chilling and vicious light could not be suppressed in the depths of his eyes.

"Father, oh father, since you are so unkind and unjust, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless and retaliating!" Lin Mushen swore secretly in his heart.

At this time, Emperor Rong Sheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was furious and asked again in a stern voice: "Tell me! Who ordered you bunch of thieves to assassinate me?"

The assassin, who was trembling with fear, replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty... We are just following orders. We really don't know who gave the order..."

Although he was not afraid of death, he could not help but feel horrified at the thought of the punishment of slow slicing.

When Emperor Rong Sheng heard this, his expression became even more gloomy, and his eyes were like two cold rays of light, shooting straight at the assassin.

The assassin was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not look at him.

At this moment, the assassin seemed to suddenly remember something important and quickly added: "But... the leader holds a token."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng, who was standing aside, immediately walked quickly in the direction of the assassin's finger.

He uncovered the bodies one by one without hesitation and searched carefully. After a while, he found a token on one of the dead.

"It's actually a token to enter the palace!" Lin Muheng raised the token in his hand high with a look of surprise and presented it to Emperor Rong Sheng who was sitting high on the dragon throne.

Emperor Rong Sheng took the token, looked at it carefully, and frowned tightly.

It is not difficult to find out the origin of this token. We just need to follow the clues and find out who took the token out of the palace. Then the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes will be revealed.

Therefore, Emperor Rong Sheng decisively ordered: "Investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible!"

Afterwards, Emperor Rong Sheng turned his head again and looked at the eunuch who had already turned pale, and threatened in a cold tone: "I will give you one last chance. If you still refuse to tell the truth, I will definitely punish your entire clan and make sure that your entire family will not die a good death!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over. He knew that he could no longer hide the truth, so he told the truth: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng instructed me to do all this. I didn't want to do it, but my family is all under the control of Concubine Zheng."

He was worried that the emperor would also say the word "Lingchi", so he confessed immediately.

As soon as these words came out, Manchao was shocked.

Can't these mother and son wait any longer?

One poisoned and the other assassinated!

The ministers all looked at Duke Zheng.

No wonder he was stalling for time just now.

Duke Zheng's face turned pale and blue.

The Duke's Mansion is over.

Zheng saw that the imperial concubine's eyes were wide open, as if her eyeballs were about to fall out, and her face was full of anger, making her originally beautiful face become somewhat distorted and hideous.

She yelled in a rage, "You little dog slave! When did I ever instruct you to poison someone? Who on earth instructed you to make up such a lie to frame me?"

Concubine Zheng couldn't wait to cry out for justice.

However, when her eyes met Rong Shengdi's eyes, which were as cold as ice and had no warmth at all, she felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her from head to toe, and she froze in place.

She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't even utter a word to defend herself.

After all, having been with the emperor for many years, how could she not understand what the emperor was thinking at this moment?

With just this one look, she could clearly feel that Emperor Rong Sheng already knew everything - he knew that it was she who secretly poisoned him.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why the emperor was so sure that she was the one who poisoned him?

Is it just based on the one-sided statement of that little eunuch?

"Forget it, Imperial Concubine, go on. Tell me how you have never poisoned me, and you have never harmed me." At this time, Emperor Rong Sheng spoke slowly, his tone was as calm as water, but the hint of chill in it made people shudder.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng trembled violently, and quickly kowtowed to apologize, and said anxiously: "I have never done such a treasonous act. Please, Your Majesty, please be clear-headed and clear my name!"

She clenched her teeth tightly, thinking to herself that as long as she refused to admit her guilt, the Emperor would never hastily convict her based on the testimony of a eunuch.

Unfortunately, this time she miscalculated.

In fact, Emperor Rong Sheng had no intention of investigating the matter thoroughly.

For him, the most important thing at the moment is to make a quick decision and handle the matter as quickly as possible.

What's more, he knew very well that Concubine Zheng dared to do such a thing and must have already prepared a response plan.

If we investigate further, the situation will only become more complicated and difficult to handle.

So, no matter what the truth is, he decided to capture Concubine Zheng first.

Is it easy to find conclusive evidence?

It seemed that the medicine used to poison people as identified by the Taoist priest was actually determined to be related to Lin Mushen.

However, as long as Lin Mushen denies it, this case will probably become a confusing and unsolved case.

Emperor Rong Sheng knew that time was running out and he could no longer delay.

He knew in his heart that his physical condition was deteriorating and he could no longer hold on.

Although the poison had been cured, it had already penetrated deeply into his limbs and bones, corroding his life like a cancer.

Emperor Rong Sheng clearly realized that his time was running out and that his end was approaching.

But he would never let the mother and son get what they wanted!

Today, he must put an end to everything.

Only in this way, when he goes to the underworld, he will feel a little comforted and not leave with regrets.

So, his face was gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and he coldly uttered an order: "The imperial concubine dared to murder me. This crime is intolerable to heaven and earth. She should be punished with the death penalty! And Jin Wang Lin Mushen has committed the crime of treason. From today on, he will be stripped of his royal title, demoted to a commoner, and also sentenced to death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Zheng became hysterical. "Your Majesty! How can you treat me like this? This lowly slave is talking nonsense."

Emperor Rong Sheng said, "You know better than anyone whether this is nonsense or not. I will leave you with dignity, so don't push your luck any further."

At this time, Lin Mushen laughed loudly, "Father is still as incompetent and unjust as always. He convicted people without any evidence. How can someone like you be worthy of sitting on the throne?"
