Zhou Ci walked up to Empress Jiang.

When Empress Jiang saw him, she was overjoyed to be rescued.

But when she saw Zhou Ci drop the medicine box, she felt bad.

Empress Jiang leaned back and asked, "Zhou Ci, are you with this lowly slave?"

Zhou Ci has been in the harem for many years, and he has seen through Empress Jiang's hypocritical face of patience and virtuousness.

It was this woman who made it difficult for Tang Yaoxue to survive in the harem, and it was this woman who planned Tang Yaoxue's death.

Emperor Tianxi found out the truth and kept silent for the sake of balance.

Those who are qualified to engrave "widows" on their tombstones chose to be patient, but Zhou Ci couldn't do it.

After the fall of the Jiang family, Zhou Ci began to use drugs on Empress Jiang.

He originally thought that he was the only one who met someone with the same hatred today.

Zhou Ci looked at Empress Jiang. This person was no longer luxurious and described as sloppy, but this kind of shallow retribution was not enough to relieve the hatred of the living, let alone comfort the dead.

Zhou Ci said: "Queen Jiang, do you know why we all hate you?"

Empress Jiang leaned against the corner: "I ask myself that I have no grievances or enmities with you. You must have found the wrong person."

Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu looked at each other.

Ying Zhu came early, and already fell into the cold hatred, he sneered and said: "How many good deeds you have done yourself, you have a clear mind. If you are tolerant to others and form good karma, it will not be easy for the Jiang family to fall.In the cold. Everyone is expecting you to die, haven't you noticed?"

Empress Jiang couldn't bear these lowly people talking to her like this, she said bitterly: "I am Empress Da Jing! Everything I do is right, I have accused you, and I am pointing you, you dare to make small remarks!"

"It's your face now." Ying Zhu took out a small knife and pointed it at Empress Jiang's face, "It makes everyone feel disgusted. Why should we serve the master with our lives, and the master can trample on our dignity and life at will?Is your surname Jiang?"

Empress Jiang watched helplessly that the knife was only an inch away from her face, her eyes were so frightened that she stared straight.

In front of the sharp blade, power and status are so vulnerable. At this time, Aoman can't save her, and the fallen Jiang family can't beg her. She suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly: "This palace is rich! Kunning Palace is rich!"The hidden compartment is full of gold and jewels, and there are money piles outside! This money is enough for you to live for hundreds of years, and I will give it to you!"

Ying Zhu laughed wildly, he and Zhou Ci looked at each other, saw the same indifference in each other's eyes, and smiled knowingly.

Ying Zhu asked, "A lot of money?"

Empress Jiang saw the hope, and said eagerly: "I have two hundred thousand taels of cash in the palace, plus a total of one million taels of bank notes. I also know where Jiang's private treasury is. You let me go.I'll tell you."

Zhou Ci also laughed when he heard this number: "That's great, our Highness is short of money."

Empress Jiang was taken aback suddenly: "Your Highness? Who are you talking about?"

Ying Zhu couldn't help but smiled proudly: "We are all loyal to the imperial concubine, who do you think our Highness is?"

"Yan Xi!" Empress Jiang yelled angrily, "That bastard! How can he deserve my money!"

Bitch!

Both Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu couldn't stand this word that scolded Tang Yaoxue's mother and son.

They all took a step forward, Ying Zhu was close, and the knife raised and fell, drawing a long mark on Empress Jiang's face.

Blood dripping.

Empress Jiang was taken aback for a moment, she never thought that someone would dare to attack Empress Da Jing, she touched it with her hand, and it was covered with blood, she yelled in horror: "Blood! How dare you disrespect the empress!"

Ying Zhu sneered and said: "Wake up, you are a queen who is not worthy of your name. Now you don't even have a prince, what are you still doing as a queen or empress dowager?"

Empress Jiang: "As long as it's not Yan Xi's idiot... the superior, anyone's children can be taken over by me."

Ying Zhu smiled coldly and said, "Don't you dare to scold me anymore, do you? If you dare to say a word against our Highness, your face and even your whole body will be cut."

"You're crazy." Empress Jiang trembled with fear, "If you still want money, you can't treat me like that."

Ying Zhu seemed to have just realized it, and said in a soft voice: "Where is the bank note? Where is Jiang's private treasury?"

Blood was dripping from Empress Jiang's face, the pain, the pain of disfigurement and fear made her unable to concentrate, her eyeballs were spinning wildly, and she didn't know where to start.

Zhou Ci understood.

He took out the silver needles from the medicine box and pierced them on several key points, and Empress Jiang finally calmed down.

Zhou Ci took out another medicine, Empress Jiang looked at it blankly, and Zhou Ci squeezed her chin and fed it.

The medicine took effect very quickly, and Empress Jiang became very talkative.

Zhou Ci asked her: "Where is the bank note?"

Empress Jiang said: "Buried under the pagoda tree in Xingsheng Palace."

Zhou Ci asked again: "Where is Jiang's private treasury?"

This is probably an extremely important content, Queen Jiang hesitated.

Zhou Ci showed his usual warm smile and said, "Empress, tell me that I will make you feel painless."

Empress Jiang looked at Zhou Ci in a daze, and finally saw some familiar obedience. She felt safe and said slowly: "It is divided into two parts, one part is buried at the bottom of the lake in Prince Jiang's mansion, and the other part is buried in the military supply depot in the western region.Down."

Zhou Ci turned to Ying Zhu.

Ying Zhu nodded to him.

Zhou Ci smiled at Empress Jiang again: "Did the Empress lie to my minister?"

Empress Jiang stared straight and said, "Not anymore."

Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Zhou Ci asked again: "How much money does Jiang's private treasury have?"

Queen Jiang said: "Ten million taels! At least one million taels!"

Ying Zhu sneered: "Your Majesty's private treasury is only three million taels, and your Jiang family's private treasury is actually ten million taels. The giant beetle of the country is beyond the tolerance of heaven."

Queen Jiang sensed the danger and looked at Zhou Ci for help.

Zhou Ci still has a question: "Back then, when the imperial concubine was assassinated, besides you, who else was the one who planned it?"

Queen Jiang was stunned for a long time when she heard this, and said aggrievedly: "I know that many people think that I killed her alone. However, I can't kill her at all with my power alone."

Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu listened silently, waiting for Empress Jiang to tell the key behind it.

"I admit, I wanted to kill her a long time ago." Under the effect of the drug, Empress Jiang said sternly, "I begged my mother's family to do it, but my mother's family said that if I kill her, there will be a new favorite concubine, so it's better to keep it. My name is JiangSo what, my natal family only treats me as a pawn, as long as I live, they don’t care if I live well or not. So what if I am a queen, my husband only touched me once! With her, I am in the harem every day.Shame, am I wrong to hate her!"

Zhou Ci said gloomyly: "This is not the reason for you to harm others."

Empress Jiang said: "Do you think I can kill her alone? He walks around His Majesty every day, how many guards and hidden guards are there around His Majesty? If there is no acquiescence of His Majesty, who has the ability to assassinate her at close range?"

Both Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu froze suddenly, and they looked at each other with pale faces.

Zhou Ci recalled that Yan Xi had asked him many times five years ago: "My mother and concubine accompanied the father and the emperor, and the guards and security were the most stringent. Why was there a surprise attack? Why did no one else have anything to do, and only my mother and concubine were injured?"?

Everyone took it for granted to think about outsiders and tried to persuade Yan Xi.

At this moment, it seems that only His Highness, who was still young at that time, figured it out.

Ying Zhu's body trembled visibly, his anger, shame and shock wiped out his reason instantly. He grabbed the knife and slashed another slash on Empress Jiang's face, asking sharply, "What do you mean? Tell me clearly."!"

Empress Jiang couldn't feel the pain under the influence of the medicine, she was even more confused by the sudden injury, and said in a daze: "Go mother and keep the son, Your Majesty is making up his mind to make Yan Xi the crown prince, so he decided to give upEveryone, including all princes and concubines."

Ying Zhu's face was frighteningly pale: "But no, the imperial concubine is alive and will not pose any threat to His Highness. Why did His Majesty kill Your Majesty?"

"Sure enough, I am the only one who understands Yanlang. Only emperors and empresses in the world can understand the art of checks and balances." Empress Jiang smiled ignorantly and said, "First, as long as there is a mother's family, it is possible for foreign relatives to interfere in politics.The reason why the Jiang family has survived is because there have always been concubines and princes of the Jiang family. Second, Tang Yaoxue's birth was not clean. Even if His Majesty changed her background for her, it's still well known that she is a singer.How can the prince have such a mother? Thirdly, His Majesty seems to have secrets, I always feel that he has something very important to hide from the whole Da Jing, maybe Tang Yaoxue knows something terrible?"

What's the matter?Zhou Ci and Ying Zhu waited patiently for Queen Jiang's words.

Queen Jiang showed a jealous look again: "It's just that I never expected that His Majesty would hesitate for a long time on the matter of killing her. I waited until His Majesty didn't do it, so I could only try to do it. After all, His Majesty treats her very differently.", I can't bear to kill myself, as a queen, I naturally have to share the worries for Your Majesty."

Zhou Ci realized something was wrong, and asked: "But you are helping the Seventh Prince to ascend to the crown prince. You have a prince yourself. This is not like what you would do."

Empress Jiang smiled meaningfully: "Based on the situation at that time, do you think Yan Xi can live for a few days even if he becomes the crown prince? Why do you think His Majesty let me? It's not all about Jiang's face. If Yan Xi hasWhen his mother is alive, his crown prince can't be a few days; only when his mother is gone, Jiang will force Yan Xi to live in the East Palace for a few years. Your Majesty understands better than you! Use Tang Yaoxue for a few yearsThe prince is here to plan his own great cause! Your Majesty is the emperor of Zhongxing, the eternal emperor who wants to achieve the great success of Da Jing, and who knows him except this palace!"

Ying Zhu shook his head, he fell into a paranoid situation and said: "But His Majesty clearly loves the imperial concubine that much."

Empress Jiang giggled, "Ying Zhu, you serve His Majesty every day, don't you know what His Majesty's so-called favor is? You have been with Your Majesty for five years, life is better than death, right?"

Ying Zhu's face turned pale. He thought that the weak and kind Tang Yaoxue had endured so many years of torture, and his face became uglier than death: "Your Majesty, is it the same for the imperial concubine?"

Empress Jiang sneered and said, "Otherwise? Otherwise, why did Tang Yaoxue dote on Tang Yaoxue for fifteen years, and why did Tang Yaoxue only give birth to two children after attending bed every night?"

There was deathly pain on Ying Zhu's face.

Zhou Ci also stepped back abruptly, and sat down on the ground: "I have treated her for more than ten years, and she only showed me her arm every time. I just thought... I just thought it was just His Majesty's heavy hands.It's a bit... my mother, she... woo woo woo."

Zhou Ci broke down in tears.

Ying Zhu stood stiffly for a long time, then he laughed ferociously: "It turns out that the enemy is by my pillow every day."

Zhou Ci was startled suddenly, hearing the terrible meaning of these words, before he could wipe away the tears on his face, he rushed over, grabbed Ying Zhu's hand and said, "Yingzhu! Don't act rashly!"

Ying Zhu understood.

He stared blankly at Zhou Ci, the hatred in his eyes being dissuaded by reason, and said coldly: "I know. I won't do anything until His Highness's great cause is accomplished. Killing that person now, wouldn't it make others happy?gone?"

Zhou Ci held Ying Zhu firmly and said, "We have to wait."

Ying Zhu thought of some soft memories, and his tears finally slid down: "Doctor Zhou, please hurry up, Your Highness, I can't bear it anymore."

Zhou Ci comforted him and said, "Your Highness will be quick. Wait a little longer."

Ying Zhu looked blankly at the sky on the window paper and said, "I'm going crazy, can I kill her now?"

Zhou Ci looked at Empress Jiang who was already numb and bleeding all over her face, he closed his eyes forcefully and said, "It's up to you."

Ying Zhu slowly retracted her gaze, looked at Zhou Ci and sighed: "Doctor Zhou, I have always known your feelings for your majesty. You can see that your mother has the same expression as me. I also know that you really want to kill your enemies.Don't hold back, leave this bitch to me first."

Zhou Ci silently nodded.

He walked back to Queen Jiang, put away his bewitching gentle smile, took out another medicine, and fed it to Queen Jiang.

Queen Jiang slowly woke up from that ignorance, and she began to feel pain.

As a doctor, Zhou Ci did the cruelest thing since he practiced medicine. He calmly packed the medicine box and said to Ying Zhu, "I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Ci stood in place, suppressing all kinds of emotions, and finally said to Ying Zhu: "My mother is generous, and she doesn't want to see us in pain. Ying Zhu, you are a good man, don't push yourself too much. There are many pains in life, but there are also clear ones."Welcome, Your Highness will make the decision for you."

Ying Zhu nodded, and some warmth returned to her eyes.

He said: "I am waiting for the day when His Highness becomes the Lord."
