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

Shen Zhiyao looked at Concubine Zhao with cold eyes, as if she was looking at a fool.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao looking at her in such a provocative way, Concubine Zhao became even angrier and wished she could convict Shen Zhiyao of murdering the royal heir right then and there.

"Why is there musk in your sachet? Tell me the truth, was the musk in Concubine Zhuang's incense burner the one you took the opportunity to put in yesterday?" Concubine Zhao asked sternly.

"All of you, shut up! If you say any more, get out of this hall!" Bo Muxi, who was sitting on a high seat, suddenly said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down..." Concubine Zhao was so frightened that she knelt down and apologized, not daring to say another word.

"Jin Wanyi, please take your time to speak." The Queen glanced at Concubine Zhao and said in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have always liked to carry sachets with me. The scented bait in these sachets has always been collected on a monthly basis from the Pharmacy Department of the Shangshi Bureau. I really don't know where the musk in them comes from." Shen Zhiyao knelt down and explained.

"You should get up now." Bo Muxi sighed and said, "Doctor Zhang, please check Jin Wanyi's pulse carefully to see if she is injured."

Shen Zhiyao sneered in her heart when she heard this. The emperor seemed to be concerned about her at this moment, but in fact he was doubting her.

The emperor wanted the imperial physician to check carefully to see if there were any musk residues in Shen Zhiyao's body. The scented bait can only be collected on time and on demand every two months, and it has been more than a month since the last collection.

If there was no residue in her body, then Shen Zhiyao was lying and the musk was added to the sachet temporarily.

Emperors have always been fickle-hearted. Although Bo Muxi loves Shen Zhiyao very much, he remains vigilant and suspicious of her at all times and is unwilling to let go of any clues easily.

After this incident, Shen Zhiyao felt even colder towards Bo Muxi. Fortunately, she had planned carefully in advance, otherwise, she would have been exposed on the spot!

Doctor Zhang was very nervous at this time. He didn't want to get involved in the harem struggle for fear of retaliation in the future, but now he was forced to be put on the fire.

"Jin Wanyi, please relax. Ask the imperial physician to check you carefully. After all, this thing is not good for your health, so you have to be careful." The queen stood up, patted Shen Zhiyao's hand, and comforted her softly.

Shen Zhiyao agreed, calmly sat back in her chair, and took the initiative to roll up her sleeves so that the imperial physician could feel her pulse.

Doctor Zhang frowned and put his fingers on it. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and his brows relaxed a lot.

"In reply to the Emperor and Empress, Jin Wanyi does have musk in her body. I think that the young lady has been taking musk for more than a month."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhe Ni was indeed reliable and did not let her down.

The Zhao Kingdom's harem did manage musk and other drugs very strictly, but there were by no means no loopholes.

Zhe Ni had served Concubine Zhang for many years. He understood toxicity and pharmacology, and often researched and prepared spices. Naturally, he had some "stock" hidden in his private collection.

Now, after the diagnosis by the imperial physician, Shen Zhiyao instantly turned from a "suspect" into a "victim".

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Bo Muxi naturally breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want Shen Zhiyao to be involved in this matter. Fortunately, Shen Zhiyao did not let him down.

The many concubines present felt deeply disappointed when they saw that there was no hope of convicting Shen Zhiyao.

"I suddenly have an idea, and I feel I should report it truthfully to the Emperor and the Empress." Zhao Wanyi has learned her lesson and no longer dares to interrupt casually.

Although Zhao Wanyi is not very scheming, she is well-read and not a fool.

She suddenly remembered an allusion just now and felt that it was exactly applicable here.

She was once slapped in public by Shen Zhiyao, and then humiliated by him in public at a clan family dinner. Naturally, she was very jealous of Shen Zhiyao, so how could she easily let go of any opportunity to bring Shen Zhiyao down?

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the emperor who was sitting on the high throne.

Bo Muxi said calmly: "Tell me about it."

"I am not talented, but I often read ancient books. I remember it was recorded in "Records of the Imperial Court" that there was a concubine in the previous dynasty who, in order to seduce the emperor, secretly made musk into tiny pills and hid them in her navel. The emperor of the previous dynasty was indeed very fond of her because of the strange fragrance of musk." Zhao Wanyi bowed and said slowly.

Zhao Wanyi has a very vicious mind. She brought up this story at this time to hint to the emperor that Shen Zhiyao has evil intentions and is using the power of musk to confuse his heart.

Even if Shen Zhiyao can be cleared of the crime of murdering the royal heir, it would be great if she could prove that she used musk to stimulate passion and aphrodisiac, which might make Bo Muxi feel resentful towards her.

How could an emperor like Bo Muxi, who was mentally obsessed, arrogant and narcissistic, accept being schemed against by his concubines?

When Concubine Zhao heard this, her eyes lit up. What a great idea! She couldn't help but secretly sigh that Zhao Wanyi was so smart for once. She deserved a bonus!

Upon hearing this, the curious people present couldn't help but become excited again and waited to see the show.

"From what Zhao Wanyi said, it seems that she is hinting that I used musk on myself?" Shen Zhiyao asked in a solemn voice with a gloomy face.

Shen Zhiyao felt that she had underestimated Zhao Wanyi's ability to confuse right and wrong.

"I was just telling a story. If Jin Wanyi really has a clear conscience, there is no need to rush to take it personally." Zhao Wanyi chuckled.

"If Zhao Wanyi really wanted to convict me, why would she beat around the bush? Just say it out loud. I once slapped you in public, and everyone knows it. You hate me so much, so there's no need to sugarcoat it." Shen Zhiyao sneered.

Zhao Wanyi sneered when she heard this.

Shen Zhiyao seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and said in a daze: "Zhao Wanyi's speculation is not unreasonable. But since you can speculate, then I can also make a reasonable speculation. I have been drugged with musk for more than a month, and Zhao Wanyi happened to be jealous of me because of the slap in the face. Could it be that you ordered someone to poison me?"

Seeing that she had actually bitten back at her, Zhao Wanyi was immediately furious and said sternly, "Jin Wanyi, you can't even clear yourself of suspicion, yet you dare to frame me. It's really unreasonable!"

"Zhao Wanyi, what you said doesn't make sense! If you can suspect that I poisoned you, then why can't I suspect that you poisoned me out of resentment? Besides, everyone knows that musk will affect fertility, so why am I so stupid? Why would I poison myself like this?"

Although Shen Zhiyao was extremely calm inside, she pretended to be very excited on the outside. When she said this, she choked up and looked extremely aggrieved and pitiful.

When everyone heard this, they all felt that what Shen Zhiyao said made some sense, and they all looked at Zhao Wanyi with suspicion in their eyes.

The conflict between Shen Zhiyao and Zhao Wanyi had been brought to the royal family banquet, so everyone naturally had a deep impression of it.

"You...you..." Zhao Wanyi panicked again when she saw the situation suddenly reversed.

People like Zhao Wanyi who are weak at heart have a characteristic: once the external pressure suddenly increases, they will lose their composure.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Jin Wanyi slandered me. I am truly innocent!" Zhao Wanyi knelt down and said.

Shen Zhiyao looked at her and sneered, thinking: This Zhao Wanyi is only handsome for three seconds, she must be a fool, right?

If you are not a fool, how can you be so anxious to prove your innocence? Once you fall into the trap of self-justification, no matter how reasonable you are, you will become very passive.

"Enough! Jin Wanyi, Zhao Wanyi, you two, are you acting like a fool here? Nonsense!" Bo Muxi slammed the table and shouted angrily.
