Before the emperor could speak, a young eunuch beside Eunuch Gu knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Concubine who instructed me to do this. She said she had taken some calming incense from Concubine Liu and asked me to give it to Your Majesty. I thought Your Majesty was also using the calming incense made by Concubine Liu, and that it helped him sleep well, so I didn't suspect anything. I never thought the Imperial Concubine would actually poison Your Majesty..."

Ruizhu was trembling all over. He really didn't expect that His Majesty doted on the Imperial Concubine so much, but the Imperial Concubine actually poisoned His Majesty.

The emperor couldn't help but tremble. It really was the imperial concubine! It really was the imperial concubine...

He slept very well, but his sleep duration was getting longer and longer.

If there was no court meeting in the early morning and no one woke him up, he could fall asleep from dusk until noon the next day.

"My Lady, I have treated you well, why do you treat me like this?"

The emperor was filled with grief and couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

He thought that he had done nothing wrong to Xinya.

He gave her enough love and also showed enough favoritism to her sons Prince Xin and Prince Chen. What else could she not be satisfied with?

Seeing the emperor's face filled with pain, Eunuch Gu couldn't help crying and admonishing, "Your Majesty, calm down. It's not worth it to ruin your health."

Si Yan also spoke: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"I know, I'm not angry..." Although he said this, the emperor still couldn't help being angry.

In the entire harem, his favorite was Concubine Xin, but he didn't expect that he was favoring a poisonous snake.

The emperor had told himself countless times that Xinya had followed him for more than 20 years and it was impossible for her to do such things.

Therefore, when Pei Wangjie's memorial was submitted, he still wanted to suppress it, and thought that Concubine Xin would never harm him.

Unexpectedly, she actually attacked herself.

The Imperial Noble Consort knelt on the ground, hugged the Emperor's thigh and cried, "Your Majesty, it's not me. I was really framed by Concubine Liu..."

The emperor shook his head in disappointment and no longer believed the imperial concubine. Concubine Liu had engraved words on the calming incense but never told him.

If so many things hadn't been involved today, he wouldn't have known.

It can be seen that Concubine Liu sincerely hopes that he, the emperor, will be well.

On the contrary, it was the Imperial Noble Consort who disappointed him the most. Although he was unwilling to believe it, all the evidence pointed to the Imperial Noble Consort.

At this time, the genius doctor Yunya finished checking the bottles and jars in the box and walked over with a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, the incense in this box is harmful to your health. Your Majesty has been smelling it for a long time, which has caused your body to become weaker."

Doctor Yunya had previously been unable to find the reason why the emperor's body was more fragile than Prince Yong's. Now that he saw the box of the imperial concubine, he understood everything.

The emperor couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He used to rest in the Imperial Concubine's palace day and night, and fell asleep smelling these incenses. Could these incenses be harmful to his body?

The Imperial Concubine wept bitterly, her hair falling from her bun as she screamed hysterically, "What genius doctor Yunya? I think he's nothing but a charlatan. These are the incense I use myself. If they were truly harmful, they would harm me first. Would I harm myself?"

Divine Doctor Yunya's face darkened slightly. "Your Highness, if you only used these incense sticks, that would be fine... but not only did you poison His Majesty with them, you also fed him something he shouldn't have..."

The Imperial Concubine stared at the genius doctor Yunya with her eyes, wishing she could kill him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know what you're talking about!"

Divine Doctor Yunya took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, these bottles contain..."

"What are they?"

"They are all forbidden secret drugs," Divine Doctor Yunya said. "If a man takes them, they can greatly enhance his virility, but they are extremely toxic to the body. Especially as he ages, the harm these secret drugs cause to the body increases. If Your Majesty takes them two or three more times, I'm afraid he will... die suddenly..."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. They didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so vicious.

The emperor was stunned for a long while before he opened his lips and said, "Are you saying that the imperial concubine gave me these things to eat?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Doctor Yunya replied affirmatively.

The emperor looked puzzled and said, "But I have never eaten it."

Divine Doctor Yunya spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, these secret medicines can be added to water, food, or tea... Based on my humble diagnosis of Your Majesty's health, your weakness is due to the effects of these secret medicines."

The imperial concubine never expected that the secret she had concealed for many years would be exposed by this quack doctor.

She grabbed the emperor's robe and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have it. I really don't have it..."

The emperor threw Concubine Xin away and said in a trembling voice, "Xin Ya! How dare you treat me like this?"

Seeing the emperor's red eyes, Prince Chen knelt down and said, "Father, you can't trust this charlatan. He's a liar and he conspired with Si Yan to frame my mother."

Divine Doctor Yunya spoke in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Imperial Physician He."

Imperial Physician He had just examined these secret medicines and could not help but say, "Your Majesty, these are indeed forbidden secret medicines that are extremely harmful to the body."

The emperor's face turned pale and he felt his body was about to fall.

The Imperial Concubine refused to admit it: "Your Majesty, I did not hurt you. I really did not give you these things to eat."

Si Yan said calmly, "Noble Concubine Xin, you said these secret medicines weren't for His Majesty, so who were they for? Could it be that they were for another man?"

Xin Ya suddenly looked up at Si Yan who was speaking. These were of course for the emperor.

She was reluctant to give it to Wei Shu, and Wei Shu didn't need it at all.

Only the old emperor needed to use these drugs to maintain his vigor and dignity.

Concubine Xin continued to cry, "Your Majesty, I have no idea what's going on... I don't know why there's a secret compartment behind my bed, and I don't know why there are these things inside. Your Majesty, someone is framing me..."

The emperor shook his head with tears in his eyes. He no longer trusted the imperial concubine.

He has been with the imperial concubine for so many years, and he is not completely unaware of the changes in his body.

Whenever he went to other concubines, he would lose interest, but when he came to the imperial concubine, he felt like a god who dominated everything.

He thought that the imperial concubine was different from other women, but he didn't expect that the imperial concubine had given him a secret medicine.

"Come here!" the emperor shouted angrily, his eyes icy as he stared at Xinya, "Send the imperial concubine to the cold palace."

Concubine Xin clutched the emperor's clothes tightly. "Your Majesty, you can't do this to me, you can't... After all, I gave birth to two sons for you. How will Prince Xin and Prince Chen cope with your actions? Your Majesty, the crown prince has been deposed. Do you want Prince Xin to be ruined as well?"

Prince Xin wiped his tears and said, "Father, this matter still needs to be investigated in detail..."

"Shut up!" The emperor looked at his favorite son with disappointment in his eyes and ordered in a deep voice, "If you dare to say another word, you will be sent to the cold palace to accompany your mother."

Prince Xin stopped talking immediately and knelt on the ground in a daze.

Prince Chen stared at Si Yan with hatred in his eyes. It was this woman who harmed his mother.

It’s all this woman!

He must kill Si Yan to avenge his mother!
