The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her face was not embarrassed.

"Queen, now the evidence is solid. The cakes were made in your Zhonghe Palace's small kitchen, and your aunt brought them here. Now Jin Ronghua only took a bite and became poisoned and vomited blood. So many people are watching. How can I wrongly accuse you?"

Lin Junxue said calmly, "My queen mother insisted that I wanted to harm you. I didn't do this, so I naturally can't just admit it. Now that the emperor has left the palace, if my queen mother really wants to convict me, she should wait until the imperial physician has seen Jin Ronghua. My queen mother, why are you so anxious? Let's wait until the imperial physician arrives."

The calmer Lin Junxue was, the uglier the empress dowager's expression became.

But Lin Junxue is different now. She is no longer the unpopular and unknown queen.

Even if it's the Queen Mother, she has to think carefully and not convict so easily.

The Queen Mother held her breath, her expression grim.

Nanny Wu stepped forward and whispered, "Empress Dowager, please wait a moment. When the imperial physician arrives, everything will be decided. By then, the Queen will not be able to make any more excuses. Please don't be anxious."

The Queen Mother then sat down and said loudly, "Okay, the Queen is really powerful now. I will wait for the imperial physician to come and check Jin Ronghua's pulse. When the time comes, I will check your cake and see what you say."

Lin Junxue lowered her eyes, her face was cold, she was always calm and composed, and a sneer appeared on her red lips.

"I am not as powerful as my mother. I was just slandered and want to prove my innocence."

The Ci'an Palace was in complete silence

Zheng Jin has been sent to the bed in the inner room

After a while, Wang Chu came with the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

This time, three imperial doctors came.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Empress"

Wang Chu stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, these three are the imperial doctors on duty today."

The Queen Mother was confident and glanced at Lin Junxue who was sitting below.

The imperial physician came, and after the diagnosis, she wanted to see how the queen would prove her innocence.

This time, the queen will not be able to get away with this poisoning.

"Okay, Jin Ronghua just ate a piece of chestnut cake and vomited blood. The three of you should go in and check Jin Ronghua's pulse and see what kind of poison she was poisoned by. Is there any hope?"

Three imperial doctors responded

Lin Junxue stood up

"Since the imperial physician is here, please let me and your concubine go in and take a look. It is better to clarify the right and wrong in person. Don't you agree, mother?"

The Queen Mother choked and said, "Okay, I want to see what this poison is. Poor Jin Ronghua, he has to take the blame for me. What a pitiful person he is."

Lin Junxue watched and found it funny. The Queen Mother was so hypocritical and her acting skills were really good.

No wonder the empress, who was supported by the aristocratic families, was able to be dethroned during the reign of the previous emperor.

里间

The imperial doctors took turns examining Zheng Jin's pulse and came out, all with heavy faces.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to ask, "How is Jin Ronghua? Can he be saved?"

Lin Junxue remained calm

The result is already determined

As an abandoned child, Zheng Jin's fate was sealed and he could not survive.

The Queen Mother is just asking this question even though she already knows the answer.

The three imperial doctors looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed.

One of the doctors said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Jin Ronghua is beyond medical help. This poison is not fatal, but it only takes a little to penetrate into the lungs. Even if a god came, there would be no cure. Your humble medical skills are not good, and Jin Ronghua can only hold out for two days at most."

Nanny Wu said, "This poison is so powerful, Queen, you really want to harm the Queen Mother. Now, what else do you have to say? If the Queen Mother had not been blessed by God, she would have been the one who would not have survived for two days."

Lin Junxue took a step forward, passing both Nanny Wu and the Queen Mother.

She glanced at Zheng Jin, who was lying on the bed and was almost out of breath.

You will suffer the consequences if you bring trouble upon yourself. This is the fate of trying to get the skin of a tiger.

It seems that the Queen Mother also deceived Zheng Jin and did not tell her that the poison could take her life.

The Queen Mother was really cruel this time by using Zheng Jin's life as bait.

Lin Junxue turned around and said, "Since, my mother said that I wanted to harm you with the cakes, then let the imperial physician carefully test whether the chestnut cakes brought by Qiao Xin contain the poison. This way, I can also know clearly."

The Queen Mother sneered, thinking that Lin Junxue was just struggling to survive.

"Okay, bring me the chestnut cake."

The Queen Mother is confident that she will win.

Lin Junxue stood there and watched the imperial physician examine the chestnut cake.

The imperial physician frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, this chestnut cake is served."

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Well, just tell the truth."

The three doctors had expressions that were hard to describe. Finally, one of the older doctors stood up and bowed.

"This, Queen Mother, this chestnut cake, is not, is not poisonous."

Next second

The Queen Mother was shocked and said in a lost tone, "No poison?"

Nanny Wu also widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

She had been planning today's events for the Queen Mother for a long time. The chestnut cake must have been tampered with, how could it not be poisonous?

impossible

No matter how she thought about it, Nanny Wu had no idea what went wrong.

The chestnut cake that was supposed to be poisonous is now found to be poisonous?

Lin Junxue looked at the shocked Queen Mother and Nanny Wu and smiled slightly.

That smile pierced the hearts of both of them.

These two people thought everything was perfect, and they didn't hesitate to use such a low-level method to frame her.

But she didn't know that she was just waiting for the Queen Mother to make a move.

Lin Junxue said, "Mother, since the imperial physician has examined it, it can prove my innocence. The chestnut cake is not poisonous, but Jin Ronghua was poisoned in your Ci'an Palace. This is really strange to me. Don't you agree, mother?"

The Queen Mother's face was extremely embarrassed.

It was as if the arrogant look of insisting that it was Lin Junxue who poisoned him just now had never existed.

Aunt Wu also reacted

"Well, Queen, just now, the Queen Mother was anxious and misunderstood you. It was just a moment of anxiety. Queen, please don't take it to heart."

With just a few words, Nanny Wu wanted to let the matter go.

Lin Junxue looked at the Queen Mother and Nanny Wu.

"Mother, for so many years, I have never thought that you still doubt my filial piety towards you. In your eyes, I am such a vicious woman. That's all. I guess it's because I can't please you, mother. I don't dare to ask for too much anymore."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't say anything.

Lin Junxue continued, "But this matter is not that simple. Now, Jin Ronghua has been poisoned and will not live for more than two days. The emperor is not here, and I am in charge of the harem. I must investigate this matter thoroughly to live up to the emperor's trust and give him an explanation. I will never allow such a sinister and vicious person to do such a cruel thing in the harem. This person has evil intentions. If he is caught, he will not be tolerated."

Lin Junxue's words were full of indirect criticism. The Queen Mother listened there with an extremely ugly expression on her face.

She gritted her teeth and said, "The Queen is right. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly."
