The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1235: Hit When You’re Down

Translator: Lonelytree

The letter that Lin Yuelan received informed her that Jiang Zhennan was suspected of poisoning the Emperor and plotting a rebellion. He had been imprisoned in the imperial prison.

Lin Yuelan looked at the message and laughed instead.

Jiang Zhennan poisoned the emperor?!

The old emperor was poisoned?!

The old Emperor was controlled by Jiang Zhennan?!

What a joke!

The three Detoxification Pills she gave the old Emperor could detoxify all poisons. Even if the old Emperor were poisoned, as long as he was still breathing, he would be able to detoxify the poison by eating the Detoxification Pills. In a short while, he would be back to life.

Therefore, there was no such thing as the old Emperor being poisoned and controlled by Jiang Zhennan.

Besides, why would Jiang Zhennan suddenly poison the old Emperor for no reason and control him? This was treason.

Jiang Zhennan had been a general for more than ten years and was in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, he had always been favored and trusted by the old Emperor. If he wanted to rebel, he would have done it already. Why wait until now?

Besides, Jiang Zhennan knew very well that she, Lin Yuelan, had given the old emperor the antidote pill. He was not so stupid as to poison the old emperor.

Moreover, Jiang Zhennan had promised Lin Yuelan that he would give her a peaceful living environment, so it was even more impossible for him to poison the old emperor and rebel.

If he really did that, then she would personally end him before the old Emperor could deal with Jiang Zhennan.

Therefore, the poisoning of the old Emperor was obviously a plot by someone to frame Jiang Zhennan.

However, the person who designed this scheme would never have expected…

Jiang Zhennan had poisoned the Emperor. According to the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, the poison would not kill him immediately. It would only control the mind and make the controlled person listen to the poisoner obediently!

When this result came out, the entire court was shocked!

None of the officials could believe this.

Some of the ministers who understood Jiang Zhennan’s character did not

believe it at all.

“This is impossible! It is impossible for Jiang Zhennan to poison His Majesty!’

As soon as he said this, he was immediately refuted by those who had always hated Jiang Zhennan.

He said,” Duke Guo, the truth is right in front of us. What’s impossible? Moreover, Eunuch Zhang had brought people to the Defender General’s Manor to search for the poison. The evidence was conclusive!”

Duke Guo’s face was stern, and he said with anger,” What evidence? Someone must have framed him! I think all of you are aware of what kind of person the Great General is. He would never do anything to poison His Majesty!’

“Hmph, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Who could guarantee that Jiang Zhennan did not have such intentions and ambitions?” Although this person did not explicitly state that Jiang Zhennan also wanted to sit on the throne, that was what he meant.

“That’s true!” Someone immediately echoed!

“No wonder the Emperor trusted Jiang Zhennan unconditionally. It turns out that he already had such ambitions!”

“That’s right! His Majesty’s trust in him was completely unreasonable! He was given one-third of the military power. For the sake of Jiang Zhennan, His Majesty did not even care about the life of the Ninth Princess, who he loved the most, and directly married her to him! He clearly knew that Jiang Zhennan was a jinx. Any woman who married him would definitely be killed! If the ninth princess had not resisted desperately, perhaps the ninth princess would have…” Died already!

He couldn’t say this out loud.

Of course, everyone understood what he meant, so there was no need to make it so clear.

“Lord Zhang is right.” The Zhou family’s trusted official went forward and echoed,” Not long ago, Jiang Zhennan received an imperial edict from His Majesty to prohibit anyone from entering Nanyuan Garden! In the past, I thought that it was just an ordinary farm for growing grain. Now, hehe…”

This person’s sneer was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Zhennan. “I think that place is very fishy!’

He was hinting that Jiang Zhennan must have some other conspiracy in this farmland.

In the past, Jiang Zhennan was favored by the Emperor, so they did not dare to say much. Even if they wanted to say it, they would discuss it in private. How

could they say it in public like this?

These people seemed to be very certain that Jiang Zhennan had already lost the Emperor’s favor and would never rise again. On the contrary, Jiang

Zhennan might even face the disaster of being beheaded, so there was nothing to fear at all.

Therefore, those who had been dissatisfied with Jiang Zhennan in the past were now hitting him when he was down. Their evaluation of Jiang Zhennan became even harsher.

Just as everyone was discussing Jiang Zhennan’s crimes in court, Noble Consort Zhou and Yuwen Feiye walked out from behind.

Moreover, everyone realized that Noble Consort Zhou’s dress and makeup today seemed to be very exquisite and gorgeous. The big black and red dress, the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, and so on made her look like she was the empress dowager.

They looked at Yuwen Feiye. He was wearing a yellow robe with nine dragon claws, a golden belt, and a golden jade crown. This was obviously the attire of the Crown Prince.

For a moment, many officials were confused by the appearance of Noble Consort Zhou and her son.

Duke Guo felt that something was strange. He glanced at Eunuch Zhang, who was standing expressionlessly beside the dragon throne and became even more confused.

His face darkened, and he asked with a serious expression,” Eunuch Zhang, where is His Majesty?”

He did not ask Noble Consort Zhou and her son directly but asked Eunuch Zhang directly.

Eunuch Zhang did not answer. Noble Consort Zhou took the initiative to laugh and answered Duke Guo, as well as the civil and military officials in court.

She said coldly,” Sirs, His Majesty has been poisoned by a traitor and is unwell. He is recuperating in his bedroom and is not to be disturbed. I have been sent to announce an imperial decree to you!”

Imperial decree?

As soon as Noble Consort Zhou’s words fell, the civil and military officials exploded!

Could it be that His Majesty was dying?

And he was about to announce his successor?!

However, everyone knew that the Emperor had already appointed a Crown

Prince. Even if he was critically ill now, the Crown Prince should still be the Crown Prince. There was no need for an imperial edict to appoint a new Crown Prince, right?

Vaguely, the ministers felt that something was amiss!

Duke Guo suppressed the anger and strangeness in his heart. He asked doubtfully,” I wonder what the imperial edict in the Noble Consort’s hand is about?”

Noble Consort Zhou sneered and asked directly,” Could it be that Lord Guo suspects that this imperial edict is fake?”

However, she did not wait for Duke Guo to answer. She faced the civil and military officials again and said in a sharp and loud voice,” Even if I had the guts, I would not dare to pass on a false imperial edict! Milords, what do you think?”

These people immediately looked at each other in confusion.

The things that happened this morning were really strange.

First, it was said that Jiang Zhennan had poisoned the Emperor and controlled him. Then, the poison that controlled the Emperor was found in the general’s residence. Then, during the morning court session, Noble Consort Zhou and her son appeared and said that they wanted to issue an imperial edict…

Just as everyone was discussing their doubts, a trusted aide of the Zhou family stepped forward and said to Noble Consort Zhou, “Your Highness, please read the imperial edict!”
