Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 191: The Poison of the Feather
Shen Zhiyao looked at Concubine Wanxian and saw that although her face was a little pale, she was still calm. She must have been framed.
No matter how anxious one is, who would be stupid enough to choose such a highly anticipated day to take action?
Isn't it intentional to kill yourself...
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I have never done anything so evil. I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager to understand."
Concubine Wanxian's pregnancy was not very obvious yet, and she knelt down to protect her belly.
After all, she is one of us. Although Lu Wanyi doesn't like to talk, she has to speak frankly at this time: "Concubine Wanxian has always been kind and doesn't like to compete for favor. She shouldn't do such a thing."
"Yes, I also think it's inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will understand." Shen Zhiyao agreed softly.
The last time she was framed, Concubine Wanxian had spoken up for her, so she had to repay this favor.
Zhang Concubine snorted coldly: "People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. You two ladies think it won't happen, but you can't guarantee it!"
Zhu Baolin felt the look from Concubine Zhao and had to support her by saying, "Sister Zhang is absolutely right, but Concubine Wanxian is still pregnant, it's really..."
She was almost about to say the classic words: Even if it is so vicious, he is not afraid of it happening to the children.
But everyone understood the underlying meaning of her words, and they all looked at Concubine Wanxian with suspicion.
"Hmph, she looks gentle and virtuous on the surface, but she is dark and vicious at heart." Although Concubine Zhao did not say it directly, she wanted to confirm the accusation.
Concubine Wanxian knelt there, never saying a word in reply, but the color of her lips began to turn pale.
The Queen looked at him for a long time, then walked forward, helped Concubine Wan up, and said softly, "No matter what, you should get up first. You are pregnant with Huang Si, and the matter has not been fully investigated yet."
Although the Queen said this to Concubine Wanxian, she was actually warning those who were causing trouble.
Seeing the queen's actions, everyone decided not to continue causing trouble.
"While Imperial Doctor Zhang is away seeing patients, check everyone's condition to avoid future troubles." Bo Muxi frowned and instructed Eunuch An.
"Yes, I will do it right away." Eunuch An did not dare to continue for a long time. He was just waiting for the emperor to say this before taking action.
He felt that since the poison had been found on Concubine Wanxian's servants, it would be highly likely that nothing would be found on other people.
The remaining people who had not been investigated cooperated in the investigation in order to clear their suspicion and avoid being criticized in the future, and the investigation was carried out quickly.
"Sister Lu, are the feathers of this asshole really so poisonous? It sounds a bit far-fetched to me." Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but ask in a low voice during the chaos.
"The 鸩 bird is extremely domineering and feeds exclusively on snakes and eagles. Ancient books and pharmacopoeias record that if other animals drink the water after the bird bathes in it, the animals will die..." Lu Wanyi said.
"This kind of thing should only be seen in mountainous areas. It's probably not easy to find. How could it appear in the palace..."
Shen Zhiyao thought it was a bit far-fetched. She had heard about it in modern times, studied it, and even doubted the authenticity of this statement. Unexpectedly, the feathers of this 鸩鸟 were really poisonous. No wonder it was hunted to extinction later. It was really a poisonous creature.
After waiting for a while, Doctor Zhang finally came back to report, but his face did not look very good.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the nurse has passed away. I have tried my best to save her, but I still couldn't bring her back to life." Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed and apologized, then added, "After a joint diagnosis by me and three other imperial doctors, we found that this person was indeed poisoned..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wanxian cried out in her heart. She looked at the emperor and the empress with a look of grievance: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since I followed you, I have never done anything beyond the rules and have always been law-abiding. Now that I am pregnant and a mother for the first time, how could I have the heart to murder the second prince?"
It is heartbreaking to see her, a pregnant woman, begging the emperor and the empress so desperately for help.
"As long as you really haven't done this, just put your mind at ease and don't worry. Think more about the royal heir in your belly. The emperor and I will decide what is right and wrong." The queen patted her hand to comfort her.
Shen Zhiyao thought to herself: Concubine Wanxian is worthy of being a member of the Queen's team. She did not lose her composure even in such a dangerous situation. She still has some character.
"Yes." Concubine Wanxian bowed and responded without saying another word.
"Your Majesty, we have checked carefully and there is nothing suspicious on the other ladies and their servants."
"You can even bring the feathers of a jinn bird into the palace..." Bo Muxi sneered in anger: "Are all those palace guards of my Great Zhao Kingdom just for decoration? This is what happened today, what will be new tomorrow?"
The emperor was furious and everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Lin'en, send someone to invite Marquis Pingxuan into the palace!" Bo Muxi said in a majestic voice.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Lin En received the order and hurriedly ran to do it, fearing that he would be beaten if he was late.
Shen Zhiyao knew that the emperor was going to discuss with Marquis Xuan Ping to purge and reorganize the palace guards.
The queen was very calm, as if she didn't hear her father's name.
Everyone was silent for a long time before the Queen looked at Bo Muxi and said softly, "Your Majesty, the matter has been investigated to this point. Control the relevant personnel and put Yongfu Palace on alert so that we can investigate later."
"As for the others..." The Queen glanced around and said, "Since nothing has been found, why not let everyone go back and rest, lest some of the timid ones get scared and get hurt."
Bo Muxi looked at the queen and felt satisfied.
As a queen, she has strong logical thinking and is organized in her work, which has saved her a lot of worry.
"Well, what the Queen said makes sense. I'll listen to you." Bo Muxi nodded, his tone softened a lot.
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor still needed the queen to persuade him. Fortunately, the queen was kind. If they had met a queen with the same temper as Concubine Zhao, it would not have been so easy for them to go back.
"Everyone, go down. Don't spread any rumors about what happened today. I will personally investigate anyone who violates the rules." Bo Muxi waved his hand casually, obviously tired.
Everyone thanked him and hurried out one after another. If they didn't run away now, what were they waiting for?
Concubine Zheng happened to be walking beside Shen Zhiyao. She usually saw a gentle emperor and rarely saw him so angry. At this moment, her legs and neck were cramping, so she staggered.
Shen Zhiyao seemed to have eyes on the side of her body, and she quickly helped her up to avoid causing trouble again.
After Zheng Guiren stood firm, she cast a grateful look towards Shen Zhiyao.
Shen Zhiyao just blinked her peach blossom eyes at Concubine Zheng, then smiled and walked away quickly with Lu Wanyi.
This scene happened to be seen by Bo Muxi, who couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. This little concubine was not that fierce and was actually quite kind-hearted.
The queen also noticed Bo Muxi's eyes and thought, this is the woman the emperor truly cares about. He pays attention to her from time to time, which is very different from others!
