After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

The next day.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, this is what I got from Miss Qiaoxiu."

What Eunuch Zhang was holding was the poisonous ginseng that Lin Zhiyu asked Qiaoxiu to find a way to throw away.

Zhou Tingchen sat behind a desk piled with memorials, with Jiang Wanning kneeling in front of him. Doctor Fang was also waiting aside with a medicine box on his back.

"Doctor Fang, come and see, is there anything wrong with this ginseng?"

Doctor Fang put on gloves and took the ginseng. He first observed the appearance, then weighed it in his hand. Then he took out a silver needle from the medicine box and inserted it straight into the root system of the ginseng.

When I took it out again, the tip of the ginseng immediately turned black.

Jiang Wanning's expression changed, full of disbelief.

He obviously sent the things to Lanxin Pavilion exactly as they were, how could they be poisonous?

Her first reaction was that the medicinal materials had been switched by someone to frame her.

But the little ginseng is indeed only found in the General's Mansion.

What the hell does this happen?

Doctor Fang cut another small piece of ginseng and tinkered with it for a while.

"Your Majesty, this ginseng has been soaked in potion by someone who is interested. Although the amount is small and the toxicity is not strong, over time, the body of the person who takes it will be hollowed out, and they will no longer be able to have children."

"Even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, you will lose one life and two lives due to difficult labor."

Doctor Fang truthfully reported the results of his research to Zhou Tingchen.

Zhou Tingchen's face darkened: "Then the queen's body is still fertile?"

"With timely treatment, as long as you have a good rest, you will be able to recover as before."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Tingchen casually picked up an inkstone and smashed it against Jiang Wanning's side.

The violent sound made Jiang Wanning tremble in fright: "Your Majesty is aware that since I entered the palace, I have been focusing on how to serve the Emperor well, and I rarely interact with Concubine Jia. Besides, I can't Who knows, I expected Concubine Jia to give this medicinal material to the Queen!"

Then she pointed her fingernails painted with bright red cardamom in the direction of Imperial Physician Fang: "It must be Lin Zhiyu. There must be some old and new grudges between her and the Queen, so she used such a method!"

"Mr. Fang often goes to Weiyang Palace. Lin Zhiyu must have given him some benefits and wants to frame Cheng Chen's concubine!"

Imperial Physician Fang was so frightened by Jiang Wanning's words that he knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Concubine Ling, please don't speak nonsense! I have always treated all concubines equally, and I will never ruin my reputation because of some petty gains!"

Zhou Tingchen glanced at the shabby official uniform of Imperial Physician Fang, which was in sharp contrast with Jiang Wanning's gorgeous uniform, and snorted softly.

"Mr. Fang is different from Dr. Cheng. He can put on a brand-new official robe every month!" He glared at Jiang Wanning, "In the previous incident, it was for Jiang Zhaoyi's sake that I lifted your restraint. I thought you knew you were wrong, but I didn’t expect you would do something like this again.”

"Concubine Ling, you really disappoint me!"

Jiang Wanning shook her head repeatedly, but the witnesses and physical evidence were there, everything was so logical, but she had never done this at all, and she couldn't even explain it.

There was a rush of footsteps at the door of the royal study.

"Your Majesty, General Jiang is asking for an audience."

"Enter."

A middle-aged man in official uniform stumbled over the threshold of the imperial study room.

As soon as Jiang Wanning returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she was taken away. Yunzhu, who was at a loss what to do, immediately spread the news to the General's Mansion. As soon as he stepped into the imperial study room, Jiang Sheng saw the inkstone that had been smashed to pieces on the ground. He quickly went to see Jiang Wanning. After confirming that he was not injured, he knelt down and saluted Zhou Tingchen.

"My lord, I have met the emperor."

"The news about Aiqing is coming very soon." Regarding this former comrade, Zhou Tingchen's eyes were cold, "I heard that Aiqing bought a large house with three entrances and nine exits in the palace for convenience."

Jiang Sheng was sweating coldly: "It's all supported by the emperor, how can I have the courage?"

Zhou Tingchen glanced at Eunuch Zhang: "Eunuch Zhang, take Concubine Ling out first."

"Mr. Fang has done a great job and will reward you with a pair of exquisite jade. Please step back."

Doctor Fang put away the medicine box, received the reward, and hurriedly stepped out of the imperial study room, heading to Weiyang Palace while no one was paying attention.

Eunuch Zhang knew that the ensuing conversation in the imperial study room would not be easily heard. After sending Jiang Wanning out, he closed the door of the imperial study room and made the imperial guards guarding the area take two steps back. He also stood guard at a distance.

Zhou Tingchen and Jiang Sheng were the only two people left in the imperial study.

"Ever since General Baihu's incident, your Jiang Mansion has become the only one in the family." Zhou Tingchen pointed out.

Jiang Sheng was startled, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated.

Zhou Tingchen continued: "I have given you the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households that I promised you, and I have also given you the hereditary honor, but what are you giving me in return now?"

He pulled out the memorials on the table one after another: "Plundering military pay, raising private soldiers, monopolizing salt and iron...Jiang Sheng, you have such a big industry!"

The volume of the second half of the sentence suddenly increased, and Zhou Tingchen threw the pulled out memorial at Jiang Sheng's face.

"Everyone says that your general's palace is as rich as the country's. Why, do you want me to give up this position before you are satisfied?"

Jiang Sheng's face was bloodless. He picked up the memorials scattered on the ground in disbelief and flipped through each envelope.

"Your Majesty, these civil servants are talking nonsense!"

After reading the remarks clearly, Jiang Sheng's face turned red instantly. However, he was not well-educated enough, so his words were inevitably vulgar.

"The issue of military pay is because the soldiers who died in the battle, even though they are gone, must be returned to their mothers-in-law according to the regulations. As for the private soldiers, they are trained as slaves born in the minister's house, and they are not allowed to go to school at all. It’s a battlefield.”

Jiang Sheng looked aggrieved.

"Besides, the operation of salt and iron is also approved by the emperor..."

"presumptuous!"

Zhou Tingchen's chest heaved with anger.

"I agreed, but I didn't ask you to lower the prices in the entire capital and establish a monopoly!"

Jiang Sheng was speechless.

Zhou Tingchen continued: "Look at your good daughter again, she has decided to become the queen. Tell me, what is the punishment for this?"

"You can't punish, you can't punish!" Jiang Sheng tried his best to stop Zhou Tingchen, "Wan Ning will never be able to do this! I have lived an upright life, it was not something she did, and I can never admit it for her!"

"Open and aboveboard?" Zhou Tingchen sneered, "General Zhuang's death was also what you call open and aboveboard?"

Jiang Sheng was stunned again, and instantly lost his confidence.

"I know you are loyal, but Xu Jiu'er, Wei Shuyi, these people can't threaten the general at all. Why did you let Jiang Zhaoyi take action?"
