Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 104: Taking sides
After hearing what Concubine Xue said, the Queen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
She raised her hand slightly and signaled the palace maid beside her to take the wine handed to her by the maid beside Concubine Xue.
The queen took the wine glass, looked down, and saw a moving water mark in the wine. Her eyes were bloodshot, and Qinghe was right.
Concubine Xue saw that her health had improved, so she resorted to the same old tricks to harm herself.
She concealed the hatred in her heart and said with a smile:
"My dear sister, your words are too kind. How could I be angry with you?"
The Queen's voice was calm and gentle.
"However, I will not drink this wine. I have been feeling a little unwell recently, and the imperial physician has advised me not to drink."
Concubine Xue's expression changed slightly, but she soon returned to her smile.
Since the Queen is not feeling well, don't force it."
She turned to look at the emperor and said tenderly, "Your Majesty, look at this..."
The Emperor looked at the Empress, then looked at Concubine Xue, and laughed:
"The queen is not feeling well, so please don't drink this wine.
Today is the Queen's birthday, everyone should be happy, why ruin the fun for a glass of wine."
Seeing that her plan had failed and that she could not attack for the time being, Concubine Xue said unwillingly:
"The Queen's body is important, so I won't force her."
Concubine Xue said that she cared about the Queen, but in her heart she was cursing the Emperor.
She scolded him for pampering Bai Jiarong all his life, and even if she tricked herself into getting pregnant with the Third Prince, she would not get any favor from him.
Bai Jiarong, you dodged a glass of wine, but there are still many more situations to come. Let's see how you can avoid them.
Today I will kill you and the emperor, and let you go to the underworld to meet your son, the god of war.
Of course, the prince’s family is also indispensable in Huangquan Road 2.
Immediately, Concubine Xue happily said to the Emperor and Empress:
"Your Majesty, today is the Queen's birthday. Why don't we take a look at the birthday gifts sent by the princes and princesses?"
The emperor said with a smile: "Okay, I want to see it too. Present them all to me."
After the emperor finished speaking, the princes and princesses below began to present the gifts they had carefully prepared.
When it came to the third prince, he took out two small boxes, bowed and said:
"Father, Mother, today I have gone through so much trouble to find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
It is said that taking it in pills can not only eliminate all diseases but also prolong life.
I asked the abbot of Daoxu Temple to make two pills and brought them back to the palace without delay to celebrate my mother's birthday.
The host said that this pill must be taken within two hours of being made, otherwise its effectiveness will be halved.
I know that your father is concerned about your mother's health, so I am here to share your worries. I hope you will accept my offer.
There is only a quarter of an hour left before the deadline for taking the medicine. Please take it immediately, Father and Mother.
From now on, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be healthy and happy."
The third prince's words were sincere and full of filial piety.
The ministers in the hall all praised the Third Prince for his filial piety that was as bright as the sun and the moon, and said he was a model of filial piety today.
Several ministers knelt down and kowtowed:
"The Third Prince's filial piety is evident to all, Your Majesty and Empress, please take the pills as soon as possible.
May the dragon of Dasheng be healthy and the phoenix be peaceful, and may the country of Dasheng be peaceful and the people be safe."
The Emperor laughed loudly:
"Well, well, well, my dear ministers and the Third Prince are so thoughtful. Please present the smiling plums! The Queen and I appreciate the Third Prince's kindness."
Little Li brought up the boxes and handed one to the emperor and the other to the queen.
The two opened the box, and Little Li took out a silver needle to test the poison, and everything was normal.
Under the gazes of everyone, the emperor and empress each picked up a pill, looked at each other, and swallowed it.
The Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Xue felt relieved when they saw the two men swallow the pills.
Okay, as long as they take the pills, today's plan can still be implemented.
The palace suddenly became lively again, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess stood up to toast.
The two men knew that the empress could not drink alcohol, so they used tea instead of wine to toast the emperor and empress.
The Emperor and Empress smiled brightly, looked at their favorite heir, and said in a loud voice: "The Crown Prince and Princess are thoughtful. Please have some tea, Empress."
"Okay." The Queen responded.
After they finished drinking, the emperor raised his glass and said to everyone:
"My dear ministers, today is the Queen's birthday. Let us raise our glasses together to celebrate her birthday!"
All the ministers stood up and raised their glasses in response. The banquet was suddenly filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere.
Before they had even finished their glass of wine, the emperor and empress suddenly doubled over with their hands in their stomachs, spitting out blood from their mouths, and almost simultaneously fell to the ground unconscious.
Everyone was shocked and wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by the Royal Guards: "There is an assassin, protect the emperor."
At this time, Concubine Xue stood up, pointed at the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess and said loudly:
“It was the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess who poisoned us. They just served the Emperor and the Empress tea.
I didn't expect that today is the Queen's birthday, but the Crown Prince couldn't wait to kill his parents. He is so heartless and has such evil intentions!"
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess wanted to go forward to check the situation, but were stopped by Concubine Xue, "Come here, arrest the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The prince looked coldly at the third prince and Concubine Xue.
"I wonder who dares to do that. The Emperor is ill today, so he should consult the imperial physician first.
You don't have to be so anxious to convict me. Everything will be decided after my father wakes up.
Concubine Xue, I'm afraid you are too anxious and have caught the wrong priorities?"
Concubine Xue snorted coldly and stepped forward and said:
"Prince, you plotted rebellion and poisoned your parents on the spot. Such a vicious act should be stopped first. What's wrong with arresting you first?
Ministers, don’t you agree?
The officials were whispering to each other in the hall, talking a lot and with different attitudes.
Baili Ting looked around and said:
“What happened today was not done by me alone.
I am the crown prince appointed by my father, and I can ascend the throne without poisoning my father.
I don’t know how my father and mother are doing right now, Little Li, please ask the imperial physician to come and check on them as soon as possible.”
"Prince, this is wrong. Everyone saw it in public. The emperor and empress were poisoned and fell unconscious after you served them tea.
You are the most suspicious, so it is best to arrest you first."
Looking at Xue Guiliang who jumped out first, Baili Ting loudly questioned everyone in the hall:
"Does everyone think the same? Do you think I am the culprit who poisoned my father, the emperor, and my mother?"
Everyone in the hall was stopped by the prince's questioning and lowered their heads.
The third prince stood up, fanning himself, and said:
"How about this, let's see what everyone means.
Those who think the prince is plotting treason stand on the left, and those who think the prince is innocent stand on the right. "
Everyone in the hall immediately lined up. Looking at the officials standing on the left one by one, Baili Ting sneered in his heart.
The power of the third prince in the court should not be underestimated.
He sneered, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked:
"Anyone else, if anyone thinks I am a traitor, please stand to the left and let me meet the officials of Dasheng."
After he finished speaking, a few more people ran to the left.
After making sure that no one would line up on the left, Baili Ting sneered and asked:
"Third brother, this is the force you have set up in the court, right?"
