"Your Majesty, Royal Concubine, I didn't know there was anything wrong with the beauty serum. I just thought it was a good thing and didn't expect that I accidentally harmed Royal Concubine."

"I am willing to accept the punishment." Su Wan's face was filled with tears, leaving no one present moved.

The emperor frowned and looked at Ye Qingluo with displeasure.

"Su Wan, do you mean that Ye Qingluo deliberately gave you something poisonous?"

Su Wan bit her lower lip and looked at Ye Qingluo timidly, "I don't know, but the beauty serum is indeed from Huichuntang. Since you are an expert in medicine, you should not be able to detect the problem."

The imperial concubine shouted angrily, "Ye Qingluo, what else do you have to say about this matter?"

Ye Qingluo was calm and composed, not showing any panic. She took another step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Royal Concubine, since the problem lies with the beauty serum, could you please take out the bottle of beauty serum and test it to find out the cause?"

"Go and get the things."

Under the emperor's order, the palace maid quickly took out two boxes and took out the bottles of beauty serum.

"Your Majesty, please look at the two sides. They were sent into the palace by the wife of Marquis Pingyuan and the second wife."

"What clues can be revealed from the two bottles?" The emperor looked at the three bottles, a little puzzled.

"In that case, it's not surprising that the Imperial Concubine was poisoned."

Just when everyone was wondering about the appearance of the bottle, Ye Qingluo suddenly spoke.

Su Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, opened her eyes wide. She was thinking about how to kill this bitch, but who would have thought that Ye Qingluo would take the initiative to agree.

She covered her mouth and looked at Ye Qingluo in shock, "Sister, do you admit it?"

"Your Majesty, these two bottles of beauty serum did come from Huichuntang, and the bottle that caused the Royal Concubine to be poisoned and develop a rash was the one that Su Wan sent into the palace."

"But what I am confused about is that this bottle was clearly given to the Marquis by me in exchange for my sister. How did it end up in my sister's hands and be given to the Imperial Concubine?"

"Could it be that the assassin who attacked Huichun Hall that day and injured His Royal Highness the Regent was related to my sister and the Marquis?"

Su Wan's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart beat rapidly, "Sister, hasn't the assassination been investigated? You can't say anything nonsense in front of the emperor."

"Is the matter related to the Regent?" The emperor looked solemn, with anger on his face.

"Why have I never heard of this?"

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, what on earth is going on?"

"Your Majesty, Huichuntang encountered a crisis some time ago. His Royal Highness the Regent stepped in to solve it because of my kindness in treating the patient. To thank me, I gave the title deed of Huichuntang to His Royal Highness the Regent. Who would have thought that when the Regent came to Huichuntang to check on the situation, he was suddenly attacked by assassins. The leader of the assassins took Su Wan hostage and asked the Marquis to exchange her for beauty serum."

"And His Royal Highness the Regent was also ambushed by those assassins during the fight."

"Since Su Wan was kidnapped and the other party specifically asked for the beauty serum, I felt something was amiss. So I not only added a drug that could poison people into the beauty serum for exchange, but also marked the bottle."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can have someone soak these bottles in water separately, and the bottle with the mark will fade."

"Come here, do as Madam Pingyuan Hou said."

The palace servant quickly brought water and put the bottles into the water one by one, saying in horror, "Your Majesty, it is just as the wife of Marquis Pingyuan said. The bottles sent by Su Wan have faded."

"No...it can't be like this." Su Wan was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She never expected that Ye Qingluo would have a backup plan.

"Su Wan, you just said that the beauty serum came from Huichuntang. I don't deny that, but can you also explain why the beauty serum given to the assassin ended up in your hands?"

"Is it a joint effort from inside or outside, or is this assassination essentially related to you?"

"I... Your Majesty, I really have no knowledge of the assassin. As for why the bottle with the problem was sent to the palace, someone must have wanted to frame me."

"Humph!"

"Go summon the Dali Temple official in charge of this case and Pingyuan Hou to the palace. I want to investigate this matter myself!"

"Ye Qingluo, I only want to ask you one question: is there a cure for the imperial concubine's poison?"

"Have."

The emperor's expression eased a lot. "I consider that you are investigating the assassin and have treated the regent before. As long as you can relieve the imperial concubine's symptoms, I will not pursue the matter any further. As for Su Wan, she will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. I will make a decision after I have met with the Marquis of Pingyuan and the Minister of the Dali Temple and have a better understanding of the matter!"

"Someone! Take him away!"

Su Wan felt weak all over, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Shouldn't Ye Qingluo be the one to be punished? Why did she become the one to be punished?

She knelt on the ground and begged desperately, but was still dragged away by the guards.

Cuizhu and Qiao'er, who were waiting outside, were arguing when they saw Su Wan being dragged out by two guards. Qiao'er was horrified, "Second Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"The Emperor has ordered that the Second Madam of Marquis Pingyuan be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison immediately!"

"Qiao'er, you must find a way to save me."

Su Wan shouted loudly to Qiao'er while being taken away.

"I told you that you and the Second Madam have done too many bad things, and you will suffer retribution sooner or later. Now it has come true!"

Although I don't know what happened inside, it's really a relief to think about all the actions of the second lady and now she is being dragged away.

"Director Sun, you stay here and help Madam Pingyuan with the treatment!"

After the emperor gave the order, he comforted the imperial concubine a few more times and left with his men.

"My Lady, please take this pill and the rash on your face will naturally go away."

"Pills?" When the imperial concubine saw the pills Ye Qingluo took out, she glanced at the palace maid beside her.

The palace maid immediately understood and said to the imperial physician there, "Master Sun, please check it first."

Dean Sun responded lightly, used a silver needle to poke a small piece of the pill, tested it again, and looked at Ye Qingluo with shock in his eyes.

"How is Dean Sun? Is there something wrong with this pill?"

"This pill is indeed an antidote. There is no harm in taking it. Your Highness, please rest assured."

The palace maid then brought the pill to the imperial concubine and asked her to take it.

Less than half an hour later, the maid beside her exclaimed, "My Lady, the rash on your face has disappeared."

The imperial concubine came to the mirror and confirmed that all the rashes were gone, and she was delighted.

Everyone present also breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qingluo walked forward and said with a smile, "My Lady, since the symptoms have been relieved, I will leave first."

"Stand!"

Seeing Ye Qingluo was about to leave, the imperial concubine who had just recovered gave an order.

"I wonder what else the Imperial Concubine wants?"

The imperial concubine looked Ye Qingluo up and down and said with contempt, "Do you have any other magical pills like this?"
