The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yunxi said, "Okay, I'll stay for a while longer. But Queen Mother, I just found out something when I came in. After thinking about it, I still have to tell you. But you have to promise me that you won't be anxious after listening to me."

Seeing Chu Yunxi's serious words, Queen Mother Rong couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yunxi held her hand and said slowly: "I found that His Majesty was poisoned."

"What?" Queen Mother Rong was horrified and wanted to stand up. Chu Yunxi held her hand and comforted her, "But it's okay. He has only been poisoned for a short time, and the person who poisoned him may be afraid of being exposed, so the poison is relatively light. With me here, it will not be difficult to cure it. Now we have to find a way to find the person who poisoned him, so that we can get rid of our worries. Although this poison does not show any symptoms at present, if he continues to take it, it will take at least half a year or ten months. Your Majesty will definitely not be able to recover."

Queen Mother Rong's face was serious. "How could this be possible? How dare someone be so audacious? If I find out, I will kill all nine generations of his clan."

Chu Yunxi thought to herself, I'm afraid you are also among his nine clans, but she couldn't say this at the moment. When she arrived just now, she did smell the scent of poison. At first, because Wu Zixu and Queen Mother Rong were sitting at the top, she was not sure who was poisoned. But just now when Wu Zixu left her side, she smelled it clearly that the poison was in Wu Zixu.

It seems that Prince Sheng has already taken action. While eliminating Prince Qi's party, he has also begun to poison the emperor. When Prince Qi falls, the emperor will be seriously ill and unable to rule the world. The emperor will have no successor except him, who is the only royal bloodline and naturally the rightful heir to the throne.

What a good calculation.

Chu Yunxi held Empress Dowager Rong's hand and said, "Empress Dowager, there is no rush for this matter. In my opinion, you and His Majesty should pretend that you don't know for the time being. This will confuse the murderer and allow him to continue poisoning without restraint, which will make it easier for him to reveal his true colors."

Queen Mother Rong nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but Yunxi, is this poison really okay?"

Every mother would remain indifferent upon hearing that her son was poisoned, and the same was true for Empress Dowager Rong. Although she believed Chu Yunxi, she still couldn't feel at ease because the matter involved Wu Zixu.

Chu Yunxi took out a bottle of medicine, handed it to Queen Mother Rong, and said, "This is a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. As long as Your Majesty takes it for three consecutive days, the remaining poison in your body will be completely eliminated. Your Majesty can rest assured."

When Queen Mother Rong saw the antidote, she finally put her mind at ease. She heaved a long sigh and said, "Yunxi, it would be great if you could stay by my side forever."

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "I will come to see you often, Queen Mother. Now that His Majesty has left, there is one thing I would like to ask for your forgiveness for. This time, I brought someone into the palace."

Queen Mother Rong asked in confusion, "Who did you bring?"

Chu Yunxi shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come in."

At this time, a guard came in. Queen Mother Rong looked at him and didn't recognize him, so she asked, "Who is..."

The guard knelt on the ground, raised his hand and tore off a human skin mask from his face, then said: "Your humble servant Wu Lingqi pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"Wu Lingqi? You're back?" The Queen Mother looked at the person kneeling below in surprise.

Wu Lingqi bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Queen Mother. I am back. I heard that something happened in the Prince Qi's Mansion. I had no choice but to disguise myself and blend into the group of Princess Dingbei to enter the palace. Queen Mother, my father must have been wronged. Please show mercy and let me go to the Heavenly Prison to see my father."

Queen Mother Rong pondered for a while and looked at Chu Yunxi, "Yunxi means that you want to help Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Chu Yunxi didn't know what Queen Mother Rong meant, but at this time she could only nod, "Yes, Queen Mother, to be honest, the last time I went to Nandi, it was the Prince of Qi who helped Yunxi enter the palace. If not for this, Yunxi would not have been able to meet the Queen Mother, and she would not have been able to get along so well with the Queen Mother. So Yunxi is very grateful to the Prince of Qi. Now that the Prince of Qi's mansion is in trouble, Yunxi does not believe that the Prince of Qi will rebel, so she dared to bring the Prince into the palace. I hope that the Queen Mother can give them a chance to defend themselves."

"An opportunity to defend myself..." Queen Mother Rong looked at Wu Lingqi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "That's not necessary."

Wu Lingqi was in a hurry, and he knelt a few steps and said, "My father has absolutely no intention of rebellion. I can guarantee it with my life. However, I just returned to Kala City and I don't know what happened. That's why I have to resort to this desperate measure. I beg the Queen Mother to show mercy and let me go to see my father."

The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "Silly child, why are you so anxious? I said you don't need to defend yourself because this is a play that your father and His Majesty had agreed on. Why bother to defend yourself? If you want to see your father, I will send someone to invite him."

At this point, Wu Lingqi and Chu Yunxi were both stunned. Although Chu Yunxi thought that the Queen Mother and the little emperor would realize that this was a frame-up, she never expected that this would be a drama performed by the little emperor and the King of Qi.

It took Wu Lingqi a while to react. He suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help but burst into tears. He choked and said, "My Lady, is this really the case?"

Queen Mother Rong scolded, "My child, would I lie to you? Someone, secretly invite the King of Qi to Derong Palace, and do not let any news leak out."

Someone responded immediately, and Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was just a play, she didn't have to worry about it. She also asked Xiao Mubei to stay outside the palace for support. If things really didn't work in the palace, she would have to find a way to send Wu Lingqi out of the palace and think of other ways. She really didn't expect that the result would be like this.

Queen Mother Rong said, "In fact, your majesty and I have long been aware of Prince Sheng's ambitions. It was Prince Qi who gave up the throne to your majesty back then, so how could he rebel again? It's just that outsiders don't know. They all think that I used the will to force Prince Qi to let your majesty ascend the throne. So it is rumored among the people that Prince Qi hates your majesty and will rebel sooner or later. Prince Qi has never paid any attention to these. This time Prince Sheng said that he had caught evidence of Prince Qi's rebellion, and Wu Jiaqi came to report his father in person. Although your majesty and I don't know why Wu Jiaqi was deceived by Prince Sheng, we also guessed one or two. It might be because of the canonization of the prince. In this case, in order to make Prince Sheng reveal his feet, your majesty deliberately played the trick and ordered the arrest of people from Prince Qi's mansion. In fact, he had already discussed it with Prince Qi. But we didn't expect that while Prince Sheng was still plotting against Prince Qi's mansion, the other side couldn't wait to poison your majesty. We neglected to take precautions. Fortunately, Yunxi, you came in time."
