Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

As soon as the queen raised her head, she saw that the emperor's eyes seemed to be glued to Yunying, and she was so angry that her heart ached. She didn't expect that after so many years, the emperor still couldn't forget this bitch.

But she did not dare to think too much, and immediately adjusted her mentality and looked at the emperor with a self-blaming face, saying: "It just so happened that the imperial physician Li who usually takes the pulse of Concubine Zhao was here, so I quickly asked him to check Miss Chu. He said there were signs of poisoning, but he was not well-educated and could not tell what the poison was."

"Why would she be poisoned for no reason?" The emperor looked at the queen with displeasure in his words.

"I don't know for now. I was having lunch with Concubine De and the others just now, and Miss Chu suddenly fainted..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Zhao interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty, I have evidence. The soup Miss Chu drank just now was poisoned. Miss Chu fainted too suddenly. The servants didn't have time to clean up the dishes. You can ask the imperial physician to test the others and you will know."

As soon as Concubine Zhao finished speaking, a servant from her palace came up and said, "Madam Zhao, the little prince is making a fuss now. We servants really have no other options, so we came to you."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhao became anxious and looked at the emperor.

"You should go back and take a look. There is nothing for you to do here." The emperor waved his hand.

Concubine Zhao quickly agreed, bowed, and hurried back, seeming to be really anxious.

The Queen originally wanted to stop him, but seeing the Emperor's slightly sinister look, she finally shut up. After all, Concubine Zhao came today just to say a few words for Concubine De and have lunch with her, and it seemed that she didn't do anything else.

Besides, she was far away from Miss Chu when she was eating, so she didn't have the opportunity to poison her. If she suspected her, without substantial evidence, no one would believe her, and it might even make the emperor even angrier, accusing her of framing the concubine.

Thinking of this, the queen could only calm down and think carefully about how to get out of this situation.

She was sure that Miss Chu's poison had absolutely nothing to do with her. She was very confident that she got the poison from Ming Zixi, who was on good terms with Patriarch Situ. At that time, she swore that no one would ever discover the poison, and even if someone could see it, it would have to be Doctor Yue.

Moreover, Doctor Yue’s whereabouts have been hard to find for many years, so how could he happen to appear here?

But what exactly is this poison? She looked at the people present, but still had no clue.

The emperor said to the imperial physician Li, "Go check all the food on the table."

"Yes. I obey your command." Doctor Li responded, stood up, took out the silver needle, and began to examine them one by one.

At this moment, Leng Qingzhou stepped forward and picked up the bowl of soup that Chu Qianyu had just drunk. He smelled it carefully, and then looked at her, only to see that her lips were dark blue, with traces of blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.

It seemed to be the seven-day poison she had studied before, but she had used medicine to speed up the onset of its effects.

Long before entering the palace, Chu Qianyu had sent someone to inform him of this, because although Leng Qingzhou was not good at treating people, he was good at poisoning. Chu Qianyu made these poisons with the help of Leng Qingzhou.

So he only needed to take a glance to know what kind of poison it was.

"Your Majesty, the people know this poison." Then he took out a medicine bottle and said, "Pour the liquid in this medicine bottle into the water. If anyone who has been contaminated with this poison puts his hand in the water, the water will turn purple. This way, we will soon know who it is."

"Go..." The emperor suddenly remembered that he didn't know the man's name. So he asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Leng."

"Okay, go take the medicine bottle from Doctor Leng and do as he said just now. Immediately check the people who have come into contact with the food today."

"Yes, I'll go right away." The guard beside the emperor responded and walked up to Leng Qingzhou and took the medicine bottle.

Then he went to prepare.

The queen's face changed drastically when she heard Leng Qingzhou's words. Why was this man so sure that he knew this poison? No, she didn't believe it.

He then asked tentatively: "Since Doctor Leng said he knows this poison, do you know what it is called? Even the imperial physician couldn't tell the difference just now. Doctor Leng is really amazing."

Leng Qingzhou only said calmly, "How could I not know what my master has studied? It's just a seven-day poison. Although this poison is colorless and tasteless, and the effects will only take effect after seven days, my master had already trained our bodies to be immune to all poisons before my junior sister and I became his disciples."

"Junior sister reacted because she has only been practicing for a short time. This skill takes some time to master. So the seven-day poison was activated so quickly when used on her. I guess the person who poisoned her didn't expect this."

After Leng Qingzhou finished speaking, he looked at the queen, only to see that her eyes were filled with fear and her breathing had stopped.

Apart from the Queen, only Mo Yinan had a calm expression, as if he wasn't too worried.

After hearing this, the Emperor, Concubine De, and Yunying all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that from what he said, the person could be saved.

Yunying said to Leng Qingzhou, "Doctor Leng, please take a look at my daughter and see if you can quickly cure the poison. She has been unconscious since just now."

"Of course you can." After Leng Qingzhou said this, he took out a pill from his arms, squatted down and was about to feed it to Chu Qianyu.

His hand was in the air but couldn't fall down. He turned around and saw Mo Yinan had stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

She looked at him and said, "Men and women should not touch each other. Give the pill to Madam Chu and let her feed it to Miss Chu."

Leng Qingzhou looked at the wrist he was holding and said, "Let go!"

"Give the medicine to Madam Chu." Mo Yinan had no intention of compromising.

Yunying was watching this scene and felt it was a bit strange. Without thinking too much, she put her hand under Leng Qingzhou's hand and said, "Let me feed my daughter. After all, what the prince said is right. Men and women should not touch each other. And thank you, Doctor Leng."

Leng Qingzhou rolled his eyes at Mo Yinan, and then he let go of his hand.

Then, he placed the pill in Yunying's hand very politely and said, "Mrs. Chu, you are too polite. Miss Chu is my junior sister, and Master happens to be away. This is what I should do."

After Yunying nodded, she took the medicine and carefully fed it to Chu Qianyu.

Only after seeing this scene did Defei feel completely relieved, and she looked towards the Queen with resentment in her eyes.

Then she stood up, walked to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Please Your Majesty, please make the decision for my family. Today's lunch was all checked by Aunt Song who is beside the queen. Now that something has happened, she must be involved!"

The emperor stepped forward and helped the man up, saying, "Don't worry. I have already sent someone to investigate the method that Doctor Leng just mentioned to verify the person who poisoned me. I'm sure there will be results soon."

He turned around and looked at the queen and said, "This happened in your palace. You have to give me an explanation."

The queen had now recovered from what Leng Qingzhou had just said, and had become the dignified and elegant queen again. She had quickly figured out a way to deal with the situation, and now she could only save herself and abandon Aunt Song.

With an apologetic look on her face, she replied to the emperor, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if it was really done by someone in my palace, I will definitely not let it go easily."

"You are also guilty of negligence!" said the emperor.

"I know that Miss Chu was poisoned because I failed to manage the harem properly. I am willing to be punished."
