Chapter 368 She Actually Knows
Chapter 368 She Actually Knows
"No need, Lord Wang!" Du Chengyi looked a little tired, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I admit that I drugged the Seventh Young Master."
Everyone:! ! !
Du Chengyi actually blew himself up? What a shocking reversal!
"You..." The Duke's wife felt dizzy. She pointed at Du Chengyi with a trembling finger, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Du Chengyi closed his eyes helplessly, knelt down in front of the Duke's wife and said, "I am ashamed of my mother's teachings! I did this!"
Then he stood up and said to Wang Jinnian, "Sir Wang, I got a packet of medicine powder by accident, and I didn't know how effective it would be. I couldn't stand seeing the Seventh Young Master being valued by his father, so I took the opportunity to drug him while he was playing the piano!
Later, the Seventh Young Master lost all his reason and offended the County Lord. I regretted it very much, so I tried my best to protect him in front of the County Lord, hoping to settle the matter through compensation.
I didn't expect the county lady to invite Lord Wang. You are very observant and found the herb without any trace. Yes, I have this herb. There is no need to mobilize a large number of people to check in various clinics!"
Everyone: So that's it! No wonder Du Chengyi refused to hand over the Seventh Young Master.
Bai Zhaozhao:...It's over, Wang Jinnian's plan has failed!
However, this also indirectly shows that Du Chengyi and the Seventh Young Master's conspiracy is related to Wu Xiangcao, and they would rather plead guilty than be discovered by Wang Jinnian.
However, Wang Jinnian did not seem disappointed. He quickly ordered his men who had just arrived to take Du Chengyi to the Dali Temple to take a statement.
The Duke's wife was so anxious that she fainted on the ground, and everyone looked distressed.
Bai Zhaozhao hurried forward, pretending to be concerned and shouting a few times, but in fact he quietly shot out the golden needle and quickly retracted it.
In an instant, the Duke's wife woke up again, looking confused.
Everyone: ...Are you pretending?
Just like that, a good show came to an end. The guests said goodbye one after another. Wang Jinnian took Du Chengyi away. Xiao Ce returned to the palace to report to the emperor. Bai Zhaozhao was "invited" out of the Duke's Mansion.
Lin Qingshuang was very excited. Before she left, she said to Bai Zhaozhao, "This time, their family will definitely not be able to produce a concubine! I'm going to show off to Tang Yanyan now! Zhaohe, you must keep up the momentum. Remember to call me next time there's something exciting!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
The Seventh Young Master was also to be taken away by Wang Jinnian. When he passed Bai Zhaozhao at the door, he looked at her deeply and said softly, "I'm afraid that the county lady's medical skills are not comparable to those of the Yue clan, right?"
Bai Zhaozhao looked at me mockingly: "What a bunch of idiots! I don't want them!"
Seventh Young Master: !!!
She knew! She actually knew!
That's it!
Bai Zhaozhao had long known about the peculiarity of Yue clan, and she also knew that she was the master of Yue clan!
So she knew from the beginning that he would target her!
There was inexplicable horror in the Seventh Young Master's eyes. His thoughts were in a mess for a moment, and he was dragged away by Wang Jinnian's men. He did not notice Bai Zhaozhao's understanding expression at all.
Sure enough, the Seventh Young Master knew that he was an imposter, and he thought that Bai Zhaozhao didn’t know about this, so he directly snatched her identity!
I just don't know what tricks the plot guy is using this time?
Bai Zhaozhao returned to Prince An's mansion and told Prince An and his wife what happened today. Prince An laughed out loud: "No wonder I have been displeased with this old man, the Duke of Zhenguo, lately!"
As he spoke, Prince An ordered his steward to give out generous rewards and even set off a few strings of firecrackers at the door, saying that it was to celebrate the fact that the county lady had escaped someone else's scheme!
This is the rhythm that needs to be made known to all the people in the capital!
What’s even more interesting is that Princess An sent a copy of The Book of Filial Piety to the Duke’s wife, mocking her for not raising a filial son!
It is said that the Duke's wife invited a famous doctor the next day.
There was also Tang Yanyan, who followed suit and lavishly rewarded people in Bai's house and set off firecrackers. This seemed to provide inspiration to others. Soon, Lin Qingshuang set off firecrackers and the Princess of Qingyang County also set off firecrackers.
Unexpectedly, several people who were close to Bai Lin started setting off firecrackers one after another after learning about this, such as Zhang Zhilan, Shen Zhiyou, Yan Yongcheng, etc.
A few days later, the news that Princess Showa had fought bravely against the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with all her might spread throughout the streets and alleys.
At this time, the Dali Temple also closed the case. Du Chengyi confessed to the crime and was sentenced to three years in prison. However, Wang Jinnian could not really make this judgment and had to ask the emperor for permission.
Du Chengyi is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be asked to be named the Crown Prince. Now that something has happened, his grandmother dragged her old body to the Queen Mother to plead for mercy.
The empress dowager saw that she looked like she was about to die, so she comforted her on the surface, but then turned around and told the emperor that he didn't need to give her face.
Even if Bai Zhaozhao is a granddaughter who appeared halfway, she is of royal blood!
There was also Concubine Li, who, after failing to see the Emperor, threatened to commit suicide in the palace. Before the Emperor knew about it, she was rescued by the Empress, who also ordered an old maid to reason with her for several hours.
Finally, the emperor himself was very supportive this time. He did not sentence Du Chengyi to three years in prison. On the surface, he gave face to the Duke of Zhenguo. In fact, he directly rejected the petition to confer the title of Crown Prince, saying that he would do so when a steady and legitimate son was born.
The entire Zhenguo Mansion is in a panic now. It would be better to go to jail for three years!
Even if he was not satisfied with Du Chengyi, there were other sons he could ask for titles, but the emperor said that he wanted to give birth to a steady and legitimate son!
How is this possible? The Duke's wife can no longer have children at her age!
Does Your Majesty intend to take away the title of Duke of Zhenguo?
Why is this so!
Not only the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but many powerful people were shocked after knowing the result!
Their impression of Princess Showa became even deeper, and from then on, she was worthy of the title of the best firepower in the capital!
Bai Zhaozhao herself was also very surprised. When Wang Jinnian came to see her, the first thing she asked was, "Your Majesty, are you trying to seize the title of Duke of Zhenguo?"
Wang Jinnian glanced around and said in one direction: "Second Brother, don't let anyone get close to here."
Zhu Hanyan didn't reply.
Bai Zhaozhao: "Ten taels of silver."
Zhu Hanyan: “Okay!”
Wang Jinnian: …
"I think Second Senior Brother's fate is money!"
Bai Zhaozhao nodded in agreement: "Second Senior Brother used to spend more than he earned, but now he has saved up a lot of money. He should have quite a bit of private money. He also said that he wants to be my secret guard for life."
Wang Jinnian: …
"Your Majesty cannot take away the title of Duke of Zhenguo just because of something like this, but he thinks that you stand out from the crowd and is using this to intimidate others. I hope that you, the lucky star, will not always cause trouble."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...It hurts.
Wang Jinnian: "And that Seventh Young Master, what do you know?"
Bai Zhaozhao: "I also want to ask you, what do you know?"
Wang Jinnian was silent for a moment: "Li Rongyue and Bai Lin don't want you to know about this person."
Bai Zhaozhao: ???
"What do they mean?"
Wang Jinnian: "In fact, I have known about the existence of the Seventh Young Master for a long time. Before Bai Lin left, he told me that the Seventh Young Master had joined forces with the Duke of Zhenguo to deal with the Bai family in order to break the balance between Prince An and Elder Zhong.
In addition to fighting for power, they should have a big backup plan, and this Seventh Young Master has coveted you. I hope I will be more careful and not let you get involved, so as not to disgust you.
When the Yue clan plotted against me, I knew that the man behind it was the Seventh Young Master, so I asked He Anyu to tell you not to get involved, and then I took advantage of the opportunity of being grounded to investigate this person. "
Bai Zhaozhao:!!!
"Uh... Senior Brother, did my rash rescue of you ruin your plan?"
"No." Wang Jinnian smiled, "I know that my junior sister is more than just excellent. What you need is not protection, but a strong backing!"
Bai Zhaozhao immediately stood up: "The one who knows me well is my senior brother!"
