Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren clapped his hands heavily and said angrily, "How dare they try to provoke the Empress! Drag them all down to me and execute them immediately!"

Regardless of whether what the nanny said was true or not, Emperor Wu Ren would not let the Queen be involved in this matter. After all, the Queen was more important in his heart.

Hua Shu obviously didn't expect that he would choose the Queen over the heir to the throne. She thought of a plan quickly in her mind. No matter what happened tonight, she must drag the Queen into the water. She couldn't suffer all this pain in vain.

After thinking about it, she threw back the quilt, slid down to her knees on the ground, and looked at Emperor Wu Ren with tears on her face.

"I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and give justice to me and my unborn child."

After saying that, he kowtowed to him heavily.

Seeing this, Caiyue and Rendong also knelt beside her and kowtowed to Emperor Wu Ren, saying in unison: "We ask the emperor to see through everything and give justice to the queen and the unborn prince."

After saying this, the two of them did not stop and continued to kowtow to Emperor Wu Ren.

This scene made everyone in the room feel moved, but none of them had the right to speak on this matter.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at Hua Shu, whose face was full of tears, without any change in his eyes.

If someone else was implicated in this matter, he would definitely seek justice for her, but the person implicated was the queen.

He stood up and walked to the bedside, looking down at Hua Shu, and said without a doubt: "This must be the result of that nanny's evil intentions. I will have her dragged away and executed immediately."

Seeing that he blamed the matter on the nanny, Hua Shu's eyes flashed coldly. It seemed that the queen was very important to him.

Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance. She reached out to wipe her tears and winked at Doctor He.

Doctor He understood and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this dish has also been drugged."

Emperor Wu Ren frowned and looked in the direction he pointed, and when he saw that he was pointing at a dish of ginseng sauce duck.

His face instantly darkened. This was the dish he had just eaten.

He let go of Hua Shu, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "What's in this dish..."

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Wu Ren felt dizzy. He Zhong, who was standing by, rushed forward and supported him.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Emperor Wu Ren held his forehead and felt the dizziness getting worse.

Doctor He saw this and hurried forward to feel his pulse. Then his face turned pale and he quickly took out a silver needle and gave him a shot.

After a while, Emperor Wu Ren felt that the dizziness had disappeared, and he looked at Doctor He with a gloomy face.

"The road was also doused with oleander pollen?"

He Zhong lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, it's not oleander pollen, but it's also a medicine that can cause miscarriage in women. It's just that if a normal person takes this medicine, they will...will..."

Seeing that he hadn't figured out anything after a long time, Emperor Wu Ren roared, "What did you figure out?"

Doctor He was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop. He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, if a normal person took this medicine, he would go crazy. But fortunately, Your Majesty didn't take much."

When hearing him say that he would fall into a state of madness, Emperor Wu Ren suddenly remembered something and clenched his hands into fists.

"Go check if the other dishes have been drugged as well."

His face looked very ugly. He didn't like eating ginseng duck in sauce. He just picked up a piece when Hua Shu was serving him the food. He ate some and thought it tasted good, so he ate two more pieces. However, he didn't know that the ginseng duck in sauce was also drugged.

"Yes." Doctor He responded and called two other doctors to carefully check the rest of the food and discussed it for a few more words.

Then he walked up to Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, except for the fish soup and ginseng sauce duck, the other dishes were not drugged."

As soon as he finished speaking, Caiyue knelt before Emperor Wu Ren and kowtowed several times.

"Your Majesty, this fish soup and ginseng sauce duck are the dishes that the queen likes to eat most after she became pregnant. Unfortunately, these two dishes were drugged. The person who drugged them was obviously targeting my queen."

After that, she kowtowed to Emperor Wu Ren several times and said, "Your Majesty, those people dared to poison you while you were here, and they didn't even think about whether you would accidentally eat it. This shows how much they want to harm the little prince in your belly."

"Your Majesty, please be discerning and give justice to my queen and the little prince who has not yet been born."

Hua Shu glanced at Emperor Wu Ren inconspicuously, and seeing that his expression was becoming increasingly ugly, a sneer flashed in her eyes.

He didn't care that he had nothing to do with this so-called child, as long as he cared about his own life.

She guessed correctly. At the beginning, Emperor Wu Ren didn't care about her and the child, but now that it concerns himself, he can no longer bear it.

"He Zhong, drag those people outside in for me."

He Zhong responded and walked out quickly, and soon brought in a few dying maids.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at one of them coldly and said, "I want to ask you, is what you just said true?"

The nanny was already feeling very cold after being beaten with a stick, and now when she heard Emperor Wu Ren's icy voice, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. When I was making fish soup for Concubine Rou today, Nanny Zhang from the Empress's side did go to the imperial kitchen and even took the lid to take a look."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's face turned completely cold. He looked at He Zhong and said coldly, "Go and invite the queen over and tell her that I have something to ask her."

"Yes." He Zhong responded, left Chuxiu Palace and went to Chonghua Palace.

Emperor Wu Ren then asked the rest of the people. Although he did not believe that the queen would drug so blatantly, he decided to find out since it concerned his own life.

Hua Shu had already lay back on the bed. She turned her head to look at Rendong, who nodded gently at her.

She withdrew her gaze, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.

……

Chonghua Palace.

When Empress Liu heard that Emperor Wu Ren was coming to have dinner with her, she personally went into the kitchen and cooked many of his favorite dishes.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she got the news that Emperor Wu Ren was going to Chuxiu Palace. She was so angry that she had someone throw away all the food she had worked so hard to prepare.

She was already angry, and when she heard Nanny Zhang say that He Zhong had come, her face suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"It's really hard for him to think of sending someone to tell me at this time."

Reaching out to remove a hairpin, Empress Liu snorted and said, "Let him in."

After He Zhong came in, he bowed to Empress Liu and was about to speak when Empress Liu asked a question first.

"What did the Emperor ask you to say?"

He Zhong glanced at her and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go to Chuxiu Palace."

Empress Liu paused while taking off her headdress and turned to look at him: "Why does the emperor want me to go over here at this time?"
