Empress Zhang told the truth, saying that her grandmother had protected her, but Grandma Liu didn’t believe that Empress Zhang’s dead grandmother could protect her at all, thinking that she probably had some tricks that outsiders didn’t know about.

"I am very curious about what benefits Concubine Mei has given you to make you willing to sacrifice your life for her." Empress Zhang has always been curious about this, so she asked now.

When Mother Liu heard Queen Zhang's question, she thought that even if she told Concubine Mei that she had poisoned her, it would be nothing to talk about. Besides, even if she didn't say it, Concubine Mei would be angry and betrayed her.

He would hide it for himself, so he immediately said: "I want to donate a job to my nephew, which requires a lot of money. Concubine Mei Guifei promised to give me ten thousand taels. With so much, I was naturally willing to do it, even though it is embarrassing in front of the empress."

, But, I don’t know how long it will take to save ten thousand taels. I originally thought that this matter is simple and not easy to be exposed, so it doesn’t matter. I took it with a sense of luck, but I didn’t expect..."

Empress Zhang is still familiar with the situation of the people around her. This Aunt Liu, she knows that because she cannot go out in the palace and is not married, she naturally has no children, so she has always treated her nephew as her own son and loved her. She was just prosperous in her early years.

At one o'clock, she brought her maternal nephew's family from her hometown to the capital, bought them a house, and provided them with a place to study. Unfortunately, her nephew had no talent for reading, had not completed his studies, and had no ability, so she kept him alive. She was in the palace anyway.

With a lot of income, I can afford it.

If you don't pass the exam, you probably want to buy a false title so you can go out with dignity.

It’s normal for Nanny Liu to betray herself for her nephew’s family. After all, no matter how loyal she is to herself, she will never treat her nephew well.

The emperor on the other side, thinking of those letters with familiar handwriting, could not continue to lie to himself. Aunt Liu was lying. He couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't speak for a long time, only listening to the questions from Empress Zhang and Aunt Liu.

One answer.

After a long while, Empress Zhang clarified her doubts. She turned to look at the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was in a daze, she called out to the emperor. Only then did the emperor react. Seeing Empress Zhang looking at her, she obviously wanted to ask how to deal with this matter.<

/p>

The emperor couldn't help but have a headache.

He still respects the queen, but he likes Concubine Mei. What can he do if the person he likes now poisons the person he respects and asks him to deal with it?

If you don't deal with it, it will definitely not work; if you deal with it, to be honest, Concubine Mei is not poisoning himself, and Concubine Mei is still the person he likes, so he really can't bear to deal with her ruthlessly.

Don't say that he has bad views. Concubine Mei poisoned the queen, and he still defended her. There is no family affection in the royal family. He was almost ruthless when he dealt with his brothers, so from his point of view, Concubine Mei was trying to get the upper hand.

, poisoning Queen Zhang is not a big deal at all.

Although he didn't think it was a big deal in his heart, he could only think about it in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't say this on the surface. After all, he was the emperor and had to be fair and just. If he said this, the imperial censor would say it.

So the emperor pondered for a moment and then said: "Concubine Mei has done such evil things and must be punished. However, because the queen has nothing to do, he will demote her status by one level and then shut up and think about it for three months.

She will also be fined one year's salary. Of course, she will also make amends to you. Queen, do you think this is okay?"

After all, the emperor still couldn't bear to deal with Concubine Mei, so he gave such a painless punishment. Empress Zhang saw that Concubine Mei had poisoned herself, but the emperor didn't even give her a white silk silk. What could she say?

It's okay. If her grandmother hadn't protected her, she would have died like that little mouse!

Thinking of this, Empress Zhang couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She thought that when someone harmed Concubine Mei when she was pregnant, he didn't treat her lightly like this. Each one of them was punished severely, and several people were given Bai Ling.

Sure enough, the emperor really loved Concubine Mei, oh no, Concubine Mei, and he was even extra merciful for such things.

——The emperor is not afraid of Empress Zhang comparing this matter, because if Empress Zhang really wants to compare, he will say that Concubine Mei was pregnant with the emperor's heir at that time, and he did not die for Concubine Mei, but for the sake of the emperor's heir.

In doing so, when the emperor dealt with this double standard, he thought of how he would answer if Empress Zhang had doubts.

But he thought too much. Although Empress Zhang was very dissatisfied with the emperor's treatment, she naturally did not dare to argue with the emperor, lest the emperor would have a bad impression of her. If she did not make her child a prince in the future, then

It’s not good.

So he immediately said: "Just follow your Majesty."

Concubine Mei was shocked when she heard that her poisoning of Queen Zhang was exposed. After all, she felt that she had done it cautiously. She had never had direct contact with the person who connected her. How could Queen Zhang still find out what she had done?

What?

Later, I heard someone say that Empress Zhang only knew about her poisoning because of Mrs. Zhang’s dream. Although she wanted to convince herself not to believe it, after all, a modern person would naturally not believe in these gods and ghosts, but...

I can’t figure out how the other party knew this, so I can only choose to believe it.

Fortunately, the emperor seemed to really like her. Even though she had done such a thing, the emperor only demoted her by one level and then put her in confinement for three months. There was no other punishment. Compared to other people who harmed her before,

Being given a white silk ribbon by the emperor was already a very lenient treatment, so Concubine Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when she first heard about this, she still trembled in her heart. She was afraid that the emperor would offend her and give her a white silk ribbon instead of letting her go. So she thought that she should be more cautious in the future.<

/p>

But things didn't go as planned. No, just when Concubine Mei's poisoning was exposed and the emperor was still protecting her, outside the palace, there were once again rumors of Concubine Mei's family accepting bribes and helping others to run away from official positions. Then that person

News that he was caught for doing evil.

This was naturally done by An Ran in order to cooperate with the affairs in the palace and capture Concubine Mei in one fell swoop, so she sent someone to release her.

She knew that the heroine had a strong aura, and she was afraid that just the exposure of the poisoning would not do anything to the heroine, so she also exposed this matter.

She really guessed it right. The heroine had poisoned Empress Zhang. The emperor actually picked it up high and put it down gently. He was only demoted to Concubine Mei by one level and was imprisoned for three months. As for what happened,

A one-year salary penalty was almost nothing. After all, the emperor would definitely replenish the money to her privately. Putting it down gently, An Ran secretly said, luckily she still had something left, but she wanted to see if Concubine Mei's biological father accepted it.

Bribery, help someone run away from office, and then that person does evil, how can the emperor protect Concubine Mei?
