Xiao Mo is definitely a man who can keep his composure. When Ye Jintang took Xu Guixiang's pulse just now, he felt something was wrong, but he still managed to resist the urge to ask about it on the spot.

It was not until he left Deyue Tower that he finally spoke.

"When I took Guixiang's pulse just now, I found two kinds of poisons in her body."

Ye Jintang told Xiao Mo everything about the discovery of the two poisons.

"I said that when Guixiang was taken away, people said she died suddenly. My mother must have seen it at that time. She was lucky to survive."

Xiao Mo was silent for a moment and then said, "If she was poisoned by two kinds of poison, then it means that at least two groups of people poisoned Guixiang."

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang both looked unhappy.

The late queen was in the palace at that time, and there were so many people who wanted to kill her.

"One of the poisons should be given by Concubine Ru."

Later, Concubine Ru poisoned the late queen, and it was most likely she who poisoned the princess.

"Then the other person is Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."

"What do you mean? I remember you said before that it was Concubine Ru who was favored at that time, and Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui was not favored at that time. There is no reason for her to poison someone."

"To drive my mother crazy."

Although Xiao Mo was still young at that time, he could already remember things. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui knew that the late queen had been in a bad mood because of excessive worries about the Jiang family.

She seemed to be trying to comfort the late queen, but nothing she said in front of her was good, and was often full of innuendos.

Xiao Mo was young and didn’t understand before, but when she grew up, she realized how vicious Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was at the time. She had long hoped that the late queen would die.

It’s a pity that she didn’t dare to attack the late queen directly, so she attacked the newborn baby.

"It was so easy for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to die. It was a bargain for her."

Xiao Mo clenched his fists tightly, and his fingers turned white because he used too much force.

"This is the Imperial Palace. Once you are caught in this vortex, it is not easy to escape unscathed, unless you are completely heartless and have no love for anyone."

If you want to live in the palace, no matter who you are, as long as you have anything to do with love, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending.

"Come here, drag Concubine Ru out of the late emperor's mausoleum, and also Concubine Dehui. Both of them must be removed from my rank."

Today is New Year's Eve, and Xiao Mo can't wait to deal with them. Even if he dies, he will not let them die with dignity. He wants to tear off the last layer of fig leaf and destroy all the reputation they have accumulated throughout their lives.

After the death of Concubine Ru and Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui, their natal families were also liquidated, but only their direct relatives were punished. This time, Xiao Mo directly removed all three generations of the two families from the capital.

Especially the Gu family, Ru Fei's maiden family. They are a big clan in the capital, with complex connections and considerable power.

Xiao Mo didn't care about that. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, an imperial edict arrived at the Gu family.

Concubine Ru poisoned the late queen and the little princess. These two crimes led to the three generations of the Gu family being exiled to Ningchuan Prefecture to mine.

The family of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had already been dealt with by Xiao Mo a long time ago, and this time they were purged again. It was likely that their entire clan would be wiped out.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunions. Xiao Mo issued one imperial edict after another, and the officials who received the news were all stunned.

Not long after Xiao Mo ascended the throne, Lord Cai kept advising him to be a benevolent and righteous king, so that at least the people would see his benevolent and righteous side.

So even when he dealt with Consort Dehui's family, he did it in secret.

Today, he didn't even want to leave a cenotaph for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, and even confiscated the property of Consort Ru's family and exiled them on New Year's Eve. All of this was really too weird.

Cai Gong immediately went into the palace to see Xiao Mo.

There is also a cenotaph in Emperor Jing's mausoleum. Logically, Xiao Mo should not be too impulsive. After all, they are all fooling people. If he really wants to deal with them, he can do so in a few years. There is no need to do it at this critical juncture today.

As for the two charges Xiao Mo made about poisoning the late queen and the princess, Lord Cai was even more horrified.

This matter involves not only Concubine Ru and Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui, but also Emperor Jing. If Xiao Mo is not handled properly, he will arouse public anger.

When Lord Cai entered the palace, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang had just returned to the palace not long ago.

"Lord Cai was quite quick. The imperial edict must have arrived at the Gu family not long ago when he rushed into the palace."

"Brother Xiao, do you want to see Lord Cai?"

"Yes, Mr. Cai will definitely persuade me, and I just happen to have something for him to do."

Xiao Mo changed his clothes and went to the imperial study.

"I have met the emperor."

"Mr. Cai, there is no need to be so polite. I am asking you to come here during the New Year."

"The emperor has issued three imperial edicts today. I am really worried, so I came to the palace."

"I understand, but I have made up my mind. It is true that Concubine Ru and Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui poisoned my mother and the princess. I have already found out the truth, but I have been forbearing. I thought that for the sake of the stability of the court, I would slowly deal with them in a few years."

"But today I know a truth that I cannot bear."

"The little princess was only three days old when they poisoned her. If the two of them were still alive, I would make them wish they were dead."

Lord Cai didn't expect this to happen. He sighed inwardly, the imperial palace was so ruthless. The reason why children in the palace were so prone to die was inseparable from the struggles in the harem.

"Your humble servant understands the emperor's feelings."

Mr. Cai is a shrewd man. He has been with Xiao Mo for many years and naturally knows his temper very well.

Although he looks ruthless on weekdays, he is actually very delicate and sensitive, but he has always hidden it well.

The late queen has always been a thorn in his side. It was extremely rational of him that there was no river of bloodshed after he ascended the throne. If it were someone else, after so many years of unfair treatment, they would be lucky not to have gone crazy. How could they possibly rule the country rationally?

"Mr. Cai, since you are here today, I have something to tell you."

"The history of our Tianqin Kingdom is still being compiled. You must include the crimes of Concubine Ru and Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui. As for how to write them, I think I don't need to tell you."

When Xiao Mo said this, Lord Cai immediately understood.

"I will definitely not let the emperor down."

"Well, Lord Cai is coming to the palace during the New Year, and I won't let him go back empty-handed."

As he spoke, Jiang Heng had already entered the imperial study carrying two large food boxes.

"These are prepared by the Queen. They are all very good dishes. Lord Cai, take them back and try them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen."

Xiao Mo was busy until the lights came on before returning to Wutong Palace.

He had just walked a few steps into the palace when he heard the sounds of children and Ye Jintang playing in the inner hall.

My somewhat gloomy mood suddenly improved.

Some things have passed, and he needs to look forward. It is enough to have people he loves and who love him in this world.

Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang accompanied the children in setting off fireworks, firecrackers, eating various delicacies, and staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.

In a trance, Ye Jintang had a feeling of unreality, as if all this was a dream.
