Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

This investigation was very alarming, and soon someone reported that Concubine Zhou in the palace also said that she was not feeling well, and her symptoms were exactly the same as those of Concubine Wang.

It seems that the person who secretly poisoned the people this time has harmed more than one person. This made Prince An furious. He ordered a thorough investigation to see who was so vicious as to want to kill two people in succession. He heard from the doctor that over time, people would die because the poison was too deep and they would be unable to recover.

Such a scary person must be found out quickly, lest that person becomes dissatisfied with Prince An in the future and poisons him? Isn't this scary?
Soon, the people who were bribed around Concubine Wang and Linlang were found out. After all, they had the poison given by Concubine Wang. Before they had time to destroy the evidence, they were found out by Prince An, who then gave away Concubine Wang and found a large amount of unused poison in Concubine Wang's room.

Fortunately, Prince An sealed off the entire mansion immediately after finding out that Concubine Wang was poisoned. Otherwise, if Concubine Wang knew that Prince An had discovered that Concubine Wang and Linlang were poisoned, she would probably throw away the poison and destroy the evidence.

Because Prince An was conferred the title in time, Concubine Wang's poison had no time to be thrown away before it was found.

It was normal that it could be found out quickly. After all, Concubine Wang was not very cautious in her work. Apart from other things, she could not keep it secret after bribing so many people. You should know that those with more sophisticated means would do it more secretly. Those who took the money had no idea who was behind the scenes. Concubine Wang, for example, directly asked her people to poison Linlang and the people around Concubine Wang. Didn't she know who the murderer was at a glance? Once these people were caught, they would easily give her up if they could not stand the interrogation.

Of course, even if Prince An cannot find out the truth, Linlang will throw the evidence in front of Prince An and let him find the murderer, Concubine Wang.

Fortunately, Linlang didn't need to throw away the evidence. Prince An was able to find Concubine Wang through the bribed maids and servants.

After touching Concubine Wang, she was terrified, but she still tried to argue, shouting that she was innocent, saying that someone was framing her, saying that she did not do such a thing, and that it was the nanny beside her who did it on her own and it had nothing to do with her.

In fact, she was still wondering, didn't the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo say that it would take a long time for the drug to show its effects? How come it showed up so quickly?
If she revealed it only when she was about to die, even if she was discovered, she could have exchanged one life for two, which was quite a good deal.

But now, the person has just taken poison, and the doctor said that he can be saved and is fine.

Concubine Wang couldn't accept the thought that she was in trouble while the person she poisoned was still fine.

Besides, didn't the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo say that no one could detect the poison? How could a doctor detect it? Isn't the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo too unreliable?
Seeing her shouting that she was wronged, Prince An naturally didn't listen to her. After all, he was just a gentle person, and he was not stupid. In this day and age, which servant would take the initiative to poison other concubines? What good would it do to her? It would be strange if it wasn't the master's order.

He also asked why Concubine Wang poisoned Linlang and Concubine Wang. Concubine Wang naturally denied it. Even if she didn't say anything, Prince An couldn't let the servants beat her and force a confession. If she didn't say anything, Prince An would let it go. But he could more or less guess that the reason why she poisoned the concubine was probably because she gave birth to the eldest son, so she wanted to poison him to death. In the future, the eldest son would have no one to support him, and it would be more difficult for him to ascend to the throne, and her son would have more competitiveness; the reason why she poisoned Linlang was probably because she was born in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and Linlang offended the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion last time, so she wanted to take revenge.

Prince An immediately abolished Concubine Wang's position as concubine, but he was a gentle man after all. Because she gave birth to a child, he did not secretly kill Concubine Wang with illness or send her to the clan house. Instead, he sent her to a farm and locked her up.

Apart from this, the son she gave birth to would definitely not become the crown prince. After all, if her son became the crown prince, after he died, she could still continue to enjoy glory with the help of her son. Naturally, he would not let such a thing happen.

Prince An thought that it was Concubine Wang who did this, and he didn't consider that Concubine Wang was also instructed by someone, so he didn't continue to investigate the matter.

Seeing that Prince An did not continue to ask her, Concubine Wang naturally would not reveal the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife. After all, as long as she did not reveal the two, she would definitely be able to restore her status and position when the Second Prince ascended to the throne in the future. So she would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to reveal the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife. If she offended them, she would never be able to turn things around in the future. And seeing that Concubine Wang had poisoned Concubine Wang and Linlang severely, Prince An gave them some compensation.

Since Wang's concubine had already become a concubine, there was no more title she could be given, so she was given some supplements and gold and silver; Linlang promoted her to a higher level and made her a concubine.

This was a good compensation for Linlang, because the concubine's courtyard was bigger, she had more servants to serve her, and her living conditions were better, which was naturally what Linlang liked.

The news that Concubine Wang was deposed for poisoning other concubines reached the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. It must be said that it scared the Duke Zhenguo's son and his wife.

Only after asking around and finding out that Concubine Wang had never mentioned them did he feel relieved.

The reason they were afraid was that if Prince An knew that they were the ones who poisoned Concubine Wang, he would definitely wonder why the Zhenguo Mansion had such a poison, and whether it was given to the imperial concubines in the palace. As long as Prince An found out that there were concubines and princes in the palace who died of this disease, and then said something to the emperor, Concubine Wang would be doomed.

That's why they are afraid.

Being afraid that what they did would be discovered by Prince An was not a big deal. The main worry was that it would implicate the imperial concubine in the palace.

As for hearing that Linlang turned a disaster into a blessing and was promoted to concubine, it made people even more uncomfortable. In the face of such a matter of life and death, they were all trivial matters.

However, Linlang's former roommates, such as Vanilla Feicui and others, after hearing that Linlang had become a prince's concubine, felt that the identity of being the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo's son was not so appealing at all.

Yes, Vanilla also became a concubine.

Linlang was gone, and the Prince of Zhenguo would not stop wanting someone to stay in his room just because she was gone, so Xiangcao, who looked decent, was chosen.

In the past, if Vanilla had realized her wish and become the prince's concubine, she would have been extremely happy.

But compared with Linlang, a fourth-rank concubine - a fourth-rank concubine of a prince - this person in the house, who was not even a concubine, was not attractive at all. So even though Xiangcao became a concubine, she was not like when Linlang was in the mansion before. She had always hoped to become a concubine, and should have been very happy when her wish came true. Instead, she was not happy at all.

She even thought to herself, if the prince had not chosen her as a concubine, she would still be free, and under the pretext of meeting an old friend, she would go to Prince An's mansion to find Linlang, and then meet Prince An by chance. Could she now also become a concubine? Even if she couldn't become a concubine, at least she could become a concubine chosen by him.

The prince's concubines, at least, have a much higher status than the duke's or prince's concubines. (End of this chapter)
