The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

"Su Yinyue, you saved Lady Xue in the Imperial Garden, why didn't you tell me? Did the murderer go there again?"

Su Yinyue could tell at a glance that she was trying to divert the blame, "The murderer ran away, and my daughter-in-law was worried about Lady Xue's injuries, so she didn't chase him."

"After arriving at Renming Palace, my daughter-in-law was about to say something when my mother assigned her a task. My mother, you were jealous of the Queen's treasure tree, and you were anxious to ask me to tell the prince to go find it."

Concubine Zhao's temples were throbbing. This unfortunate child, why did he say anything so out loud?

Am I shameless?

Jiang Zaiyu was surprised, "Mother, you want the Hundred Treasures Tree, why don't you just tell me directly? I will find it even if I have to travel thousands of miles."

"Shut up! I don't want it!"

Concubine Zhao was filled with shame and anger, and secretly regretted bringing Su Yinyue out to divert attention.

Su Yinyue is a shameless woman who doesn't care about her reputation at all. But Yu'er protects her like a lunatic. She is a noble concubine, but she can't even live up to the airs of a mother-in-law.

Every time I confront her, I just get upset.

But she had already spoken, and she was unwilling to not let Su Yinyue share some of the charges.

"Why didn't you tell me that the wine was poisonous?" Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "If you had told me in advance, I would have replaced the wine. How could everyone be poisoned?"

"By the way, you haven't drunk the wine yet. Why did you hide the fact that the wine was poisonous and keep it to yourself? What's your intention?"

In an instant, countless gazes were directed at Su Yinyue.

Jiang Zaiyu took a half step forward and stood in front of Su Yinyue. "You exposed the thieves' conspiracy and saved my father and his ministers from being poisoned. Why would Princess give up such a great achievement?"

"The princess didn't mention this matter, it can only be that she didn't hear what the thief said to Zhu Xia, and she just ran into Empress Xue and was almost killed."

"From the brewing of wine to its delivery to the palace, everything is the responsibility of the Guanglu Temple. Mother, instead of blaming the Guanglu Temple, you are holding the princess hostage. You have a deep prejudice against the princess."

The veins on Concubine Zhao's forehead were throbbing, "You!"

Ruyi calmed her down, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Concubine Zhao covered her head and murmured softly, "I don't know what kind of magic potion Su Yinyue gave Yu'er. This rebellious son is so irritating that I have a headache..."

"Guanglu Temple Minister!"

The Guanglu Temple Minister, who was shrinking his neck to reduce his presence, shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. "Your Majesty, I am here."

Emperor Mingde looked gloomy, "The wine sent to the palace by the Guanglu Temple was poisoned. How did you handle it?"

The Minister of Imperial Households knelt down on the ground, trembling. "I will send someone to investigate right away. I guarantee with my life that I will give the emperor an explanation."

"I have already drunk the poison. It is no longer important whether to investigate or not." Emperor Mingde snorted coldly, "Since you can't control the Guanglu Temple, I will replace it with someone who can."

"Drag him out and behead him. The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice will conduct a thorough investigation of the Guanglu Temple, and all those involved in the case will be beheaded."

Upon hearing this, Guanglu Temple Minister felt cold all over, propped himself up with both hands, and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

The guards received the order and dragged him outside swiftly.

The shrill screams echoed in the air.

"Your Majesty, Empress, and Empress Zhao Yuan are here."

Zhuang Zhaoyuan held Zhu Xia's hand and stepped inside.

As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground, holding her big belly and crying out for justice.

Concubine Zhao was so angry that she had no place to vent. "Zhuang Ying, don't try to argue. Lady Xue heard everything clearly."

(To add, Zhaoyuan is a position, Zhuang is a surname, and Zhuang Ying is Zhuang Zhaoyuan's name. For example, Guifei is a position, Zhao Xi is the name of Concubine Zhao; Shufei is a position, and Fang Zhiyan is the name of Concubine Shu.)

Zhuang Zhaoyuan looked at Emperor Mingde with grievance, and said, "Lady Xue, you must have seen it wrong. I am already eight months pregnant and cannot leave anyone by my side."

The culprit has appeared. Concubine Shu no longer blames Concubine Zhao. With the imperial physician prescribing medicine, she is not panicking.

He said calmly, "Isn't the maidservant beside Lady Xue here?"

"Wouldn't it be fine to confront him face to face?"

Zhuang Zhaoyuan glared at Hongzhu who was kneeling not far away and said in a low voice, "What did you see when you were with Lady Xue?"

Hongzhu shuddered, feeling that her eyes were like those of a poisonous snake. If her answer did not meet her expectations, she would die.

Zhuang Zhaoyuan was a second-rank concubine, so it was easy to deal with her, a palace maid.

"The one accompanying the beauty is Lu Zhu, I am not with her."

Hongzhu's palms were slightly wet. "But Lady Xue has memorized the murderer's appearance. While I came to Huijing Hall to warn the police, Lady Xue led the palace servants to catch the murderer."

Zhu Xia's pupils shrank and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhuang Zhaoyuan.

Just at this time, the eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue wants to see you, saying that the eunuch who poisoned her has been caught."

The queen said anxiously, "Hurry up and announce it."

After a period of rest, Lady Xue was able to utter a few words intermittently.

After she came in, she immediately revealed that the eunuch who had contacted Zhu Xia was a purchasing eunuch, and took out a paper bag, saying that it was poison found in the purchasing eunuch's room.

Dean Zhang opened the paper package and examined it, and concluded, "Your Majesty, this is not poison, but an antidote."

Someone asked in confusion, "Since Empress Zhao Yuan is not attending the garden party and cannot drink the poisoned wine, why does she need the antidote?"

Concubine Zhao murmured to herself, "The wine that Guanglu Temple sent to the palace today is poisonous..."

A light bulb went off in the Queen's head, and she suddenly remembered that the banquet in Hanyuan Hall would also use wine from the Guanglu Temple. She couldn't help but slam the table and glared at Zhuang Zhaoyuan.

"Zhuang Ying, is your antidote prepared for Hanyuan Palace?"

"You poisoned the former imperial concubines, what on earth do you want to do?"

Zhuang Zhaoyuan was extremely confused. She had not expected the progress to be so fast.

While following Concubine Zhao to familiarize herself with the banquet procedures, she had to try the wine and drinks sent by the Guanglu Temple. She was not well-informed in the harem and had no idea how toxic the poison was.

I didn't know whether the wine sent in advance was poisonous or not. With the idea of ​​not harming the child and being prepared for any eventuality, I used the antidote that I had prepared in advance.

Then have someone send in a new antidote.

It was difficult to communicate inside and outside the palace, and it was not until this morning that she received the news that the new antidote had arrived in the palace. She immediately asked Zhu Xia to go to the agreed place to get it.

But who knew that Concubine Xue saw it!

As for the antidote found in the purchasing eunuch's room, he should use it himself.

There is a tradition in the palace that the masters reward their servants with wine and food. Since the purchasing eunuch knew that the wine was poisonous, he would naturally find a way to prepare an antidote for himself if he didn't want to die.

The queen was irritated by her silence, "Zhuang Ying, my patience is limited."

"If you don't tell the truth, I will have everyone pour all the poison at the banquet into your stomach!"

After saying that, the queen shook her head and felt her heart beating faster and faster for unknown reasons.

Jin Die noticed that the queen's breathing had become heavy, and stepped forward worriedly, "My queen, are you okay?"

At the same time, Emperor Mingde also noticed the Queen's abnormality, and a picture popped up in his mind uncontrollably.

On the Qianqiu Festival, the queen went crazy and slapped him.

Emperor Mingde took two steps away without leaving a trace, his face showing a defensive look, "Empress?"
