Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Cuiwei Palace is far away from Yongfu Palace. The emperor and the empress are waiting, so Shen Zhiyao has to follow Lin En and walk as fast as possible.

When they finally arrived at Yongfu Palace, they found that almost all the concubines in the palace were present, which shows how wide the impact of this incident was.

As soon as Shen Zhiyao entered the palace, she heard Zhao Wanyi sarcastically saying, "Jin Wanyi really has to be the 'protagonist' at all times. At times like this, she is also the 'finale'!"

Zhao Wanyi was promoted from noble lady to Wanyi, and successfully joined Concubine Zhao's "team". She was obviously "standing up" and even started to speak in a sarcastic manner.

It's even more annoying than before.

Shen Zhiyao rolled her eyes at her and didn't bother with her.

Some people do things without considering the occasion, no wonder they are always unpopular.

I think Zhao Wanyi's road to promotion should end here.

Shen Zhiyao knelt down and greeted him, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor, long live the queen, and long live the queen."

"Get up." Bo Muxi said coldly.

The emperor and the empress were sitting on high seats at this time. Both of them had cold and expressionless faces, which made everyone feel even more frightened.

"Jin Wanyi, please sit down. The emperor and I have come to ask you something." The queen pointed to a chair at the bottom and said in a solemn voice.

"Yes. Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please speak, and I will answer truthfully."

Shen Zhiyao bowed slightly, then sat down generously, calmly and composedly, without showing any sign of panic.

"Shijin, bring the food up and show it to Jin Wanyi." The queen ordered.

Shijin responded and walked forward with a tray in both hands, on which was a handkerchief.

Shen Zhiyao only used her thumb and index finger to gently pick up the handkerchief, examined it carefully for a few times, and then smiled and said, "This handkerchief should be mine."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Shen Zhiyao not only readily admitted that the handkerchief was hers, but also pointed it out so happily.

Simply unbelievable.

"Hmph, you recognize it very quickly." Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but laugh with glee.

She really hoped that Shen Zhiyao would be accused of murdering the royal heir and would be demoted or even banished to the cold palace to vent her anger!

Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi frowned and glanced at Concubine Zhao, who immediately fell silent and dared not say anything more.

Seeing this, everyone dared not interrupt and make the emperor unhappy.

"The Imperial Concubine Zhuang has been suffering from severe morning sickness recently, and I have been keeping an eye on her all the time. But last night, she actually had mild bleeding symptoms, which was extremely dangerous! Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Zhang took proper measures and managed to keep the fetus stable. Imperial Doctor Zhang found that the incense in the incense burner in the hall of Yongfu Palace was poisoned with musk."

The queen frowned, still looking extremely angry when she mentioned this matter at this time.

Everyone knew that the queen was trying her best to protect the baby, but they still dared to poison the baby right under her nose. It was obvious that they did not take her as the queen seriously. How could she not be angry?

"When I ordered people to investigate, a maid in Yongfu Palace handed in a handkerchief she picked up during the day, which looked very much like the one you often use. It happened that you were here yesterday afternoon, and Doctor Zhang also found musk on your handkerchief. I came to ask you what's going on." said the Queen.

Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart when she heard that. She just threw a bait casually, and the big fish really couldn't wait to take the bait.

"I will reply truthfully to the Queen. Yesterday afternoon, out of good intentions, I came to Yongfu Palace to visit Concubine Zhuang and brought some gifts to express my concern," Shen Zhiyao bowed.

Shen Zhiyao paused deliberately and saw that the emperor and the empress were listening attentively without showing any impatience.

Then she continued, "But I really don't know about this. Since I entered the palace, I have never had the opportunity to touch musk. Moreover, I have only been in the palace for more than a year. I don't have any foundation in the palace. How can I have the ability to reach out to Yongfu Palace? This matter is very strange. I hope the emperor and the queen can see clearly."

Faced with such a serious situation, Shen Zhiyao was able to maintain a good attitude and clear logical thinking to defend herself, which made the concubines present admire her very much.

What Shen Zhiyao said made sense. The harem had extremely strict control over medicines such as musk. Logically, only the Shangshi Bureau, the Siyao Bureau and the Imperial Medical Bureau had access to them.

Besides, the Queen has recently placed many trusted confidants in Yongfu Palace to serve her. When Shen Zhiyao came in yesterday afternoon, there were countless eyes watching her. How could she have the chance to avoid so many eyes and ears and tamper with the incense burner?

The emperor and the empress had naturally considered these questions carefully. Otherwise, based on the evidence they had already found, they could have ordered people to arrest and interrogate Shen Zhiyao first. Why would they bother asking her to come for questioning?

"Well, it's indeed strange. Jin Wanyi, since there is musk on your handkerchief, there is no guarantee that you don't have it on your body. How about I call Doctor Zhang to check you?" The Queen asked with pretended concern.

Shen Zhiyao smiled secretly in her heart. The Queen's emotional intelligence was indeed very high. She was clearly doubting her, but she only pretended to care about him and didn't completely break off the relationship.

However, the Queen's move was exactly what Shen Zhiyao wanted.

On the way, she was still thinking about how to reasonably let the imperial physician examine her. It was naturally the best thing that the queen could bring it up in person.

Shen Zhiyao smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am also worried. Please ask the imperial physician to check me carefully."

The Queen didn't hesitate and directly called Doctor Zhang, who was waiting outside the palace, to come in and examine Shen Zhiyao on the spot.

For such a matter, the first-rank imperial physician had to be mobilized, which shows how serious the matter is.

"Empress Jin Wanyi, in order to ensure the accuracy of the examination, please forgive my impoliteness." Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed.

"It's okay, Doctor Zhang, please check it carefully." Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

There shouldn't be physical contact between men and women, so the imperial physician didn't want to get too close to Shen Zhiyao. He just circled around Shen Zhiyao a few times, sniffing carefully with his nose.

"This... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Empress Jin Wanyi also have a clear scent of musk..." Imperial Doctor Zhang frowned.

Everyone was greatly encouraged when they heard this, and there were even some who were gloating over Shen Zhiyao's misfortune and were eagerly waiting for Shen Zhiyao to be convicted on the spot.

"Shijin, take Jin Wanyi to the warm room next door and check her carefully to see if there is anything suspicious on her body."

The Queen's tone was still gentle at this time, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Zhiyao was extremely cold. The Queen thought to herself that if this matter was really related to Shen Zhiyao, she would not let her off easily!

Shijin agreed and took her to the warm room. Shen Zhiyao remained calm the whole time.

Bo Muxi stared at Shen Zhiyao's back and shook his head secretly. He really didn't want Shen Zhiyao to be stupid enough to murder the royal heir.

It's not that murder is impossible, it just depends on who the child's mother is. Concubine Zhuang and the Queen have a special relationship. Besides, it is indeed time for Bo Muxi to have a few more princes.

In a short while, Shijin came out following Shen Zhiyao, holding an exquisite sachet.

The Queen gave Doctor Zhang a look, and Doctor Zhang hurried forward to take the sachet and examine it carefully.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Although the bait in this sachet is extremely diverse, it still has a strong musk scent, which shows that it contains a lot of musk!" Imperial Doctor Zhang did not dare to hide anything and reported the truth.

"You are so good, Jin Wanyi. I thought you were just mean in words, but who knew you were so vile in your heart that you even dared to murder Concubine Zhuang and the royal heir! You are so bold!" Concubine Zhao scolded them harshly without waiting for everyone to react.
