You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath of Du Qingwan's body fragrance, and looked intoxicated. Then he said affectionately:

"Don't worry, I have asked someone to call the imperial physician to check.

If this chicken soup is really poisonous, I will investigate it thoroughly and give you justice."

After being touched by Zhu Yunhao like this, Du Qingwan instantly got goosebumps all over her body and felt nauseous.

But in order not to arouse Zhu Yunhao's suspicion, she quickly pretended to smile and thanked him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I really don't want to leave you, but... but there are people who are always thinking about taking my life. Woo woo..."

"Okay. Don't worry, I will investigate this case thoroughly!"

Zhu Yunhao was bewitched by the beauty, and he would readily agree to whatever Du Qingwan said.

Seeing this, Du Zhirou was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, and she was gritting her teeth in hatred in her heart.

Glancing at Du Zhirou, who was furious, Du Qingwan curled the corners of her lips slightly, letting out a smile with ambiguous meaning.

[Du Zhirou, the fun is about to begin. I want to see how you break through this time!]

"Your Majesty, Doctor Wang is here."

While Du Qingwan was complaining in her heart, Eunuch Liu led Doctor Wang up to the three of them and reported in a low voice.

"See the Emperor."

Doctor Wang bowed, his face calm and stern.

He should have known the main purpose of Zhu Yunhao calling him here.

"Stand up. Doctor Wang, the Queen said this bowl of chicken soup is extremely poisonous. Please check it yourself to find out what kind of poison is in it."

Zhu Yunhao glanced at Doctor Wang with disdain and spoke in a cold voice.

He wanted to dismiss Doctor Wang from his post some time ago.

Then he thought that although Doctor Wang's medical skills were not as good as Du Qingwan's, they were actually quite good, and keeping him might be of some use, so he simply didn't deal with him for the time being.

Now, Du Qingwan insisted that the chicken soup was poisonous, which was a good opportunity to test Doctor Wang's medical skills again.

"The minister obeys the order."

After paying his respects, Doctor Wang quickly stood up, gently picked up the chicken soup, and sniffed it again and again with full concentration.

Then he quickly inserted a silver needle to confirm his judgment again.

"What's the matter? Doctor Wang, is this chicken soup poisonous?"

Seeing Doctor Wang quickly put down the chicken soup, Eunuch Liu was eager to reveal the answer and looked a little nervous.

Zhu Yunhao's nerves also tensed up and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

You know, this bowl of chicken soup was specially prepared for Du Qingwan by Zhu Yunhao in the imperial kitchen.

If it is confirmed that the chicken soup is poisonous, then Zhu Yunhao will not be able to wash it off even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

He had been coveting Du Qingwan's beauty for a long time, but because Du Qingwan had Queen Mother Qiao as her guarantor, he never dared to anger her.

Now that their relationship had finally eased a little, he specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare chicken soup, with the purpose of trying to please Du Qingwan.

Who would have thought that this chicken soup is actually poisonous!

This is clearly intended to turn Zhu Yunhao and Du Qingwan against each other.

"Doctor Wang, you'd better tell the truth! I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to send this chicken soup to the queen!"

Doctor Wang was struggling over whether to tell the truth, but Zhu Yunhao was more nervous than him and immediately "reminded" him.

It's more of a threat than a reminder.

Every word Zhu Yunhao said was threatening, which frightened Doctor Wang instantly.

[This chicken soup is really poisonous. How should I respond to the Emperor?

I just heard from Eunuch Liu that this chicken soup was prepared by the Emperor for the Empress, and the Emperor himself admitted it.]

[If I tell the truth, will the emperor be unhappy?]

[But...was this poison really ordered by the Emperor?]

[If not, then wouldn't it be deceiving the king if I lied?]

Doctor Wang was still struggling, his heart pounding.

He really didn't know how to answer.

"Doctor Wang, you may think you have lived too long, right? The Emperor is asking you a question!"

Seeing that Doctor Wang was hesitating and not saying anything, Du Zhirou just wanted to make a quick decision and clear her "wrongness" as soon as possible.

She gave Doctor Wang an unpleasant look and pretended to urge him.

On the surface, Du Zhirou looked calm and composed, but her heart was in her throat, ready to burst out.

At that moment, she could feel that the air was thinner than ever before.

She didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

"Yes, Doctor Wang, the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor to dismiss you last time.

The Emperor took into consideration that you have worked hard despite your contributions over the years, so he went against the Empress Dowager's order and allowed you to stay in the Imperial Hospital."

"Now, someone wants to use the emperor to poison me. Do you still want to protect the criminal?"

Du Qingwan saw through Du Zhirou's purpose at a glance, and also understood the hidden meaning in Zhu Yunhao's words, and quickly expressed her attitude.

She wanted to see what tricks Zhu Yunhao and Du Zhirou were trying to play.

"This……"

Doctor Wang was speechless for a moment and had no answer.

She quietly observed Zhu Yunhao's actions from the corner of her eye, and her mind quickly went blank.

He was waiting for Zhu Yunhao's new instructions before he could decide how to answer.

"Ahem! Doctor Wang, the Queen is right, you might as well tell the truth!

I prepared chicken soup for the Queen with good intentions, but I never expected that a thief would take advantage of it.

Seeing your embarrassment, it seems that this chicken soup is indeed poisonous. What kind of poison is it? "

Zhu Yunhao was sure from Doctor Wang's nervous expression that the chicken soup must be poisonous.

He lost the last bit of his patience and asked Doctor Wang to confess.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang dared not be vague any more and said with great fear and trepidation:

"Your Majesty, this chicken soup is indeed poisonous. It is the poison of oleander."

As expected, Doctor Wang did not disappoint Du Qingwan and immediately pointed out the poison of oleander.

It was exactly the same as she judged.

However, she was still somewhat puzzled---

There was oleander poison in the chicken soup, which Doctor Wang could easily discover.

Why didn't he diagnose that the poison that Empress Dowager Qiao was previously poisoned with was also oleander poison?

If Du Qingwan guessed correctly, Empress Dowager Qiao had been poisoned before, and all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau had gone to treat her, but no one was able to confirm the truth.

Now that the chicken soup is poisonous, Doctor Wang can quickly make the correct diagnosis.

What exactly lies behind the problem?

"Oleander poison? ... Isn't that exactly the same poison that the Queen Mother was poisoned with?"

Zhu Yunhao suddenly lost his composure and stood up abruptly, staring straight at Doctor Wang.

"That's right, Your Majesty. It was the Empress who taught me how to identify this poison. I am absolutely correct this time."

Doctor Wang did not dare to hide anything and told the truth one by one.

Du Qingwan smiled calmly, with a humble face, and said:

"You are too kind, Imperial Doctor Wang. Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Wang is right. This chicken soup does contain the poison of oleander.

I just didn't dare to confirm it before, so I brought it here specially, hoping that Your Majesty would ask the imperial physician to verify it."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhirou, who was standing by, immediately became flustered. She couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her palms, feeling extremely guilty.

[This damn Doctor Wang, I clearly gave him the poison of Hedinghong, why did he say it was the poison of oleander?]

[Could it be that what my mother gave me was really oleander poison?]

[Isn't it obvious that mother wants to kill me?]

[Will the Emperor investigate this matter? After all, it is exactly the same poison that the Queen Mother was poisoned with! Woohoo...]

The more Du Zhirou thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her heart began to pound.

At that moment, she just hoped that the emperor would let it go and not pursue the matter any further.
