Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 481



~ NOT HURTING HER LIFE IS ALREADY THE GREATEST KINDNESS ~

As soon as these words came out, the Emperor’s expression suddenly became sharp. He lowered his head to look at the imperial report. The clues and evidence clearly indicated the relationship between the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace and this matter. He could not wait any longer and was impatient, so he waved his hand to interrupt Jin Wang’s rebuttal, “Since we have found the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace, then let the Minister of the Ministry of Justice continue his investigation. I have said that this matter must be investigated thoroughly!”

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was overjoyed as he replied loudly, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

On the other hand, Jin Wang’s expression suddenly turned ugly. When Mu Yunyao heard the news come from the Palace, her heart was relieved. Once she found out about the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace, things would be much easier. Even if a steward had the guts, he would not dare to interfere in the Ministry of Justice and directly assassinate two influential officials of the imperial government. There must be a master behind him. Even if the steward of Jin Wang’s Palace is loyal and doesn’t give up on Jin Wang, Jin Wang can’t clean it up even if he wants to wash it. Now, all she had to do was wait and see how capable Ling Wang was. Would he thoroughly prove Jin Wang’s crime?

On the other side, Xu Yanhan, who had thought about it for a long time, finally made up her mind. She wanted someone to poison Su Jin’s food. The poison wasn’t fatal, but it would make people vomit blood, and it looked very tragic. After that, they got someone to tell them the reason behind Su Jin’s poisoning. It indicates that the Su family was afraid of Yang Lian’s involvement and wanted to murder Su Jin jointly, pretending that she saw her husband die and wanted to die for him. In this way, even if Su Jin knew something secretly, there was no way to go out and implicate more people.

Su Jin, covered in blood, escaped from the Su family’s residence with the protection of a maid. She was run over directly by an official of Shuntian Manor and brought to the Shuntian Manor’s post.

Shuntian Mansion’s governor Shen Binghuai had just transferred the matter of Yang Lian’s assassination to the Ministry of Justice. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he met Su Jin, who attempted murder by the Su family.

Su Jin’s character was in the same line as the Su family’s Old Madam. When she first married Yang Lian, she fell in love with him. After entering the Yang family, she bound Yang Lian to death step by step.

Yang Lian himself didn’t think there was anything wrong with her. He had even repeatedly rejoiced that he had a virtuous wife to help him make suggestions on many things. Therefore, she knew a lot of inside information about the salt tax deficit in Jiangnan and even knew where the crucial evidence was hidden.

Before coming to the Capital, she didn’t know that the family had been attacked repeatedly, and the forces were far less influential than before. She thought she could be protected by the Su family when she came here.

Who would have thought Yang Lian bribing the chief inspector and changing the officials’ performance examination rating leaked out within a few days? Before they could react, a lightning strike had struck and directly put Yang Lian straight into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.

After that, it was even more unexpected. Before any tricks could be used, Yang Lian was killed in prison. Just as she was filled with grief, her maternal family wanted to kill her in order to avoid trouble. Such behavior was tantamount to becoming the last straw that broke her, causing Su Jin to collapse completely.

In order to live, in order to protect her two children, after Su Jin saw Shen Binghuai, she directly pointed out that the Jiangnan salt tax deficit case was related to the prominent figures in the Capital, and she also had crucial physical evidence in her hands.

Shen Binghuai immediately knew that this case was unusual as soon as he heard it. He wanted to ask about it, but Su Jin refused to say anything. She said she did not really want to reveal this matter, but she just wanted to use this matter as a threat. Su Jin expected that today’s matter would definitely be known by everyone. She just wanted to use this kind of method to get Jin Wang to make a move to protect her life. If she couldn’t survive, she would just directly reveal the evidence. At that time, Jin Wang would have to suffer together with her.

Shen Binghuai had no other choice but to report the matter to the Emperor.

These days, things have exploded and have already made the Emperor’s headache. Now that the Su family was in trouble again, the remaining patience he had left was drained completely. “The murder case at the Ministry of Justice has not been resolved yet, so I can’t spare any energy to force Su Jin’s case this time. Since Su Jin has already arrived at Shuntian Manor, then let Shuntian Manor try and handle the case there. Shen Binghuai, you are one of my most trusted subjects. I hope you won’t let me down.”

The Su family had been decaying too quickly, and they had no value in using them again.

Shen Binghuai promptly nodded and respectfully kneeled on the ground to pay his respects. “Your Majesty, please be at ease. This official will not disappoint you and try to clear up the matter as soon as possible.”

After Mu Yunyao heard the news, she could not believe her ears. She asked Jin Qiao once again, “Are you saying that Su Jin was almost killed in the Su family’s residence?”

“Yes, the Su family secretly drugged Su Jin. However, they miscalculated the quantity of the medicine and did not successfully poison her to death. Instead, they let her escape from the Su family.”

“Poisoning Su Jin?” Mu Yunyao frowned, not understanding, “The Su family clearly knows that the slightest movement would cause a huge uproar. They don’t want to comfort Su Jin and instead want to poison her to death. Could it be that the Su family has gone mad?”

Jin Qiao carefully looked at Mu Yunyao’s face, “Miss, perhaps someone else framed the Su family for this matter?”

“Then I would like to praise the good frame-up. I was worried there wasn’t enough evidence, but someone had forced Su Jin out. Si Shu, go to Yue Wang’s Palace and pass on a message to Eunuch Cheng. Please, ask him to send someone secretly to protect Su Jin. She is the most important person right now, and before she hands over the evidence, we must do not let anything happen to her.”

“Yes, Miss.”

At this moment, Xu Yanhan was accompanying Princess Yi De as he said, “Mother, is it inappropriate for me to do this?”

“You’ve done very well. You’re much better than Mother was in the past.”

Xu Yanhan heaved a sigh of relief, “Recently, I’ve heard quite a lot of news, and the most important person is Yang Lian. Actually, I’m not completely sure either. I just think that Su Jin, as Yang Lian’s wife, she should know some things.Thinking of the previous incident, the Su family wanted to kill Yao’er and me in order to conceal the news. And, I felt that it would be reasonable for them to act against Su Jin in order to wash away the suspicion. Therefore, I asked someone to poison Su Jin intentionally and said those words to force her out of the Su family’s residence.”

“En, my daughter is smart, and you’ve done a good job with it. Have you thought about what to do next?”

Xu Yanhan hesitated, “Mother, I have some vague ideas, but....”

The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. “As Mother and Daughter, You and I do not need to scruple too much. Just say what you have to say.”

“I want to use the Sixth Princess, HuaiYang, but she is....” Sixth Princess, Huaiyang, is the child of the Royal Family and is related to them by blood. Wasn’t that a little too cruel using her directly?”

“Now that you’ve made up your mind to do it, you might as well do it. Huaiyang was stubborn and unrepentant. If she were let to follow the Su family, her fate would definitely be even worse in the future. Besides, when she was going to get married, I tried to persuade her, but she kept saying she didn’t regret it. Since she didn’t regret it, she had to bear the corresponding responsibility. For the sake of blood kinship, not hurting her life, this is already the greatest kindness.”

Xu Yanhan nodded, “Mother, I understand.”

After leaving Grand Princess Yi De’s courtyard, Xu Yanhan slowly walked to Mu Yunyao’s Bishui Pavilion. Seeing the warm candlelight lighting up the room, she felt relieved.
