Chapter 1234: Searching the General’s Mansion
Translator: Lonelytree
In the dark room of the small courtyard, in the shadows, there was a young man whose face could not be seen clearly. He wore a jade ring and was dressed luxuriously. His slender and well-defined fingers were holding a small jade wine glass. He knocked on the table with one hand. Then, his cold voice sounded in the small room.
He said, “Make the move now!”
Then, he heard an emotionless and cold voice reply,” Yes!”
Eunuch Zhang was quietly waiting for Noble Consort Zhou to come out of the Moon Palace. However, the expression on his face betrayed his anxiety and eagerness.
A moment later, Noble Consort Zhou walked out of her room.
Eunuch Zhang immediately went up to her and bowed respectfully to Noble
Consort Zhou.” Your Highness!”
Noble Consort Zhou sat down and asked,” Eunuch Zhang, is there something the Emperor wants to talk to me about?”
Her attitude was a little off.
However, Eunuch Zhang did not seem to care too much about it at this time.
He looked anxiously at Noble Consort Zhou and said,” Your Highness, His
Majesty wants to drink the soup that Your Highness made!”
Imperial Concubine Zhou immediately smiled and said,” Eunuch Zhang, if His Majesty wants to make the soup that I made, he can just send a servant over to inform me. How can he trouble Eunuch Zhang to make a trip personally?”
Eunuch Zhang replied with a smile,” Your Majesty, no matter how small the matter is, it is still a big matter for His Majesty. This old servant is willing to do it!”
Noble Consort Zhou nodded her head and said,” Yes, Eunuch Zhang is truly loyal to His Majesty. I am also glad and gratified! Please trouble Eunuch Zhang to tell His Majesty that I will immediately send the soup over when it’s done!”
Eunuch Zhang replied,” Yes! This old servant will take his leave!”
After Eunuch Zhang left, a person walked out of the Moon Palace.
“Big brother!” Noble Consort Zhou looked at the man who had walked out. A hint of resentment and anger flashed in her sharp eyes, but it disappeared soon after.
Zhou Dehong was no longer as respectful as he used to be to this noble consort sister. Instead, his attitude was obviously superior and disdainful.
Zhou Dehong replied indifferently,” Yes!”
Looking at Eunuch Zhang’s receding figure, Zhou Dehong continued, “It seems that His Majesty is deeply fascinated by the soup you made!”
Noble Consort Zhou’s dark and unclear expression only responded lightly,” Indeed! Your younger sister had even heard the painful wails coming from inside the royal study. I believed that His Majesty had been completely poisoned!”
When Zhou Dehong heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy. He said,” Alright! Very good! It was said that it was very difficult for a person who had been hit by the Divine Illusion to get rid of this drug addiction. As long as one was drugged with the Divine Illusion, it would be very easy to control the person. Little sister, when you deliver the soup later, you don’t need to spike it with Divine Illusion!”
Consort Zhou immediately asked doubtfully,” Why?”
Zhou Dehong immediately said sternly and arrogantly,” Hmph, do you really think that just because you can control His Majesty with this thing, we can succeed? Zhou Xinyue, have you been an imperial consort for too long and become too naive?
When Noble Consort Zhou heard this, her exquisite face turned green and white. Then, she gritted her teeth and asked,” Then tell me. What should we do?”
Zhou Dehong’s expression was sharp as he said,” What you need to do is to isolate His Majesty!’
Noble Consort Zhou was shocked. After a moment of shock, she said angrily,” How is this possible? His Majesty is protected by secret guards at all times.
How can I possibly isolate His Majesty?”
This was obviously a big problem for her!
Zhou Dehong was really smart!
Zhou Dehong looked at Noble Consort Zhou with disdain and disdain. He said sternly, “I’m sure the Noble Consort will figure it out!”
Noble Consort Zhou was furious.” You…” However, she quickly calmed down. She took a deep breath and said coldly,” Alright, I understand! What other plans do you have? Why don’t Lord Zhou tell me so that I can be mentally prepared?” She didn’t even call him brother anymore. It was obvious how angry Imperial Consort Zhou was!
Zhou Dehong thought for a moment and said,” Imperial Concubine, you just have to cooperate with us!”
Noble Consort Zhou suppressed her anger and resentment. She closed her eyes and then opened them. Gritting her teeth, she replied,” Alright!’
General Manor
After Jiang Zhennan practiced martial arts in the courtyard, he wiped his saber with a handkerchief and then went to have breakfast!
Just as he finished his breakfast and was about to go to the Nanyuan Park, the Imperial Guards suddenly entered the General’s manor.
The person walking in front of the Imperial Guards was Eunuch Zhang, who was holding a horsetail whisk.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the Imperial Guards surrounding the General’s Residence and looked at Eunuch Zhang with a puzzled expression.
He frowned slightly and asked,” Eunuch Zhang, what’s going on?
Eunuch Zhang was expressionless as he looked at Jiang Zhennan and said,” His Majesty has decreed that Defender General Jiang Zhennan is suspected of poisoning the emperor. The evidence is conclusive! Following that, the title of the Defender General will be revoked, and the Defender General’s Estate will be taken back. You will be temporarily detained and awaiting punishment!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he stared at Eunuch Zhang with a sharp gaze. He frowned and asked,” I poisoned His Majesty?! When did I poison His
Majesty? What poison is His Majesty poisoned with?”
In his heart, he was thinking, ‘Back then, Yue ‘er gave His Majesty three antidote pills that could detoxify hundreds of poisons! How could His Majesty be poisoned?’
The butler anxiously went forward and asked,” Eunuch Zhang, did His Majesty make a mistake? How could our Great General poison His Majesty?”
Eunuch Zhang asked sharply,” Oh, are you saying that His Majesty is maligning the Great General?”
The butler immediately said in fear,” This servant wouldn’t dare! It’s just…” However, it was obviously impossible for the Great General to poison the Emperor!
However, Eunuch Zhang did not listen to him at all. With a sharp voice, he immediately ordered, “Search this place! We can’t let any of them go!’
“Yes, sir!”
These imperial guards immediately swarmed into the general’s manor and searched every room!
The butler and the people from the General’s Estate could not stop them at all.
“This… This…’
The butler asked his general anxiously,” General, what should we do? It’s obvious that you’ve been wronged. They just swarmed the house indiscriminately. This…”
Jiang Zhennan pursed his lips tightly and said with a cold expression,” Butler, don’t worry. The innocent will prevail!”
However, the butler was not so optimistic. Looking at this situation, it was obvious that they had come prepared!
The butler could only pray in his heart that these people really did not find anything from this residence.
A moment later, a guard took out a small white bottle and reported to Eunuch
Zhang,” Eunuch Zhang, this was found in the study!’
Eunuch Zhang took the item, opened the bottle cap, and sniffed it. Then, he questioned Jiang Zhennan,” General, please tell me what this is.”
Jiang Zhennan frowned as he looked at the item that had appeared in the study. He answered honestly,” I’ve never seen it before. I don’t know what it is.”
Eunuch Zhang wasn’t angry. Instead, he laughed.” Then let me tell you.. This is the thing that poisoned the Majesty! Men, take Jiang Zhennan away!’
