Chapter 19 World 1: The Dark Emperor’s Pet (17)
An Yi continued, "There is one more thing. Concubine Yi burned Zhilan incense in the palace. The medicinal properties of this incense are very dangerous. If a woman smells it, her mind will be controlled and she will remember the words of the person who burned the incense."
An Yi: "The greatest use of this incense is to train puppets. It is a secret medicine from Southern Xinjiang. I am from Southern Xinjiang, so I know this incense."
The emperor was immediately furious: "Noble Concubine Yi, you deserve to die."
Emperor Zhou Jin: "Xi'er is her niece, is she crazy?"
An Yi: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already secretly detoxified Concubine Rong."
Emperor Zhou Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent rising from his heart: "You did a good job on this matter. I want you to investigate the abnormality of Concubine Yi."
Secret Guard No. 1 listened to the emperor's tone and knew that Concubine Yi would not end well.
"Is the concubine of the Zhao family related to Concubine Yi?" There is another thing that Emperor Zhou Jin is concerned about.
"Noble Concubine Yi had met Miss Zhao before the selection, but the two had never discussed the matter. I am stupid and have not found any conclusive evidence." An Yi reported.
"There is no need to investigate this matter. You just need to look into the matter of Zhi Lanxiang in Concubine Yi's palace." The emperor felt that there was no need to investigate the matter further.
Concubine Yi was meticulous in her work but had a vicious mind. All of her children died silently in her hands.
The cooperation between Prime Minister Zhao's concubine's daughter and Imperial Concubine Yi is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger. Sooner or later, she will be retaliated against, so there is no need to be afraid.
Zhou Jin didn't take her seriously at all. He just wanted to know that although the Bai family had been eliminated, Concubine Yi's power in the palace did not decline. It seemed that she had other things to rely on.
Zhou Jin admitted that he had doted on Xier in the beginning just to start with her and find out Concubine Yi's background. Unfortunately, Concubine Yi was hostile to Xier and even wanted to attack her. If it weren't for An Yi, Xier would have been poisoned today.
Zhou Jin was filled with fear. Whenever he thought about Xier being controlled, he felt a chill in his heart.
Xier is too naive and is no match for Concubine Yi. I can only protect her.
Zhou Jin's whole heart was on that villain. He had been in power for so many years and was used to the intrigues in the palace.
The former dynasty and the harem are closely related. He is used to weighing the pros and cons. He never expected that God would give him a beautiful woman. He will protect her well.

The Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Emperor has kept two young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion in this selection, probably because he wants to choose the legitimate daughter as your principal wife." The speaker was the Seventh Prince's aide.
"I didn't know that you were so interested in my marriage." The Seventh Prince is handsome. He looks a lot like his mother. He is charming but not feminine. He wears red clothes and has a strong aura.
"I was thinking that the rumor about the prime minister's daughter being plain-looking might make Your Highness look even more handsome," Zhang Sheng joked with a sly look in his eyes.
"Since you have so much free time, I will send you to the border to handle miscellaneous affairs." The Seventh Prince knew that this man was usually not a serious person and it was time to give him a good lesson.
"Don't be anxious, Your Highness. You haven't heard that the prime minister's wife and legitimate son both died. It's quite strange, and Prime Minister Zhao Zikai is quite displeased with his legitimate daughter." Zhang Sheng didn't stop talking.
"I didn't know you talk so much, like a common woman." The Seventh Prince said in a calm voice.
"Your Highness, the power behind the eldest daughter of the Zhao family should not be underestimated. She has built a secret guard camp behind her, and her father, the Prime Minister, does not seem to know about it." Zhang Sheng's expression gradually became serious.
