Quickly wear cannon fodder, just flip the table and feel great

The eldest prince's joy came to an abrupt end the next moment.

It was because the emperor not only did not calm down after listening to Bu Shi'an's persuasion, but instead became furious.

He even disregarded the composure and image that an emperor should have, and kicked the eldest prince who was kneeling on the ground.

Everyone present seemed to be surprised that their emperor would be so angry. They all stood there in a daze, except Bu Shi'an, who was leaning on the bed and covering his mouth in feigned shock.

The corner of her mouth, which was covered by her hand, had already curled up.

As early as the moment she put the eldest prince into Yuanchen Palace, she had planned to find a reason to kill the eldest prince today.

The eldest prince of the province had ambitions but no corresponding means. Before he could do anything, he dragged her family down because of her adopted son status.

Of course, it’s best to kill three birds with one stone.

This was a legitimate way to stop burning incense, and to make the old emperor feel uneasy and stop bothering her.

It is obvious that the process of killing the eldest prince is going smoothly.

The emperor was afraid that she would realize that the truth about the incense burning was related to him, so he was eager to put the blame on the eldest prince.

The more she talked about investigating, the more anxious the emperor became.

The more anxious the emperor became, the more he would pin the blame entirely on the eldest prince, the suspect she had initially proposed.

The reason why the emperor disregarded his image and was determined to severely injure the eldest prince was to prevent the eldest prince from speaking.

In this way, the emperor only needs to fabricate a little evidence, and then the hat of accusing her of musk, including the incense today and in the past, can all be pushed onto the eldest prince.

If Bu Shi'an's guess was correct, the emperor would stop when the "bewildered" concubine spoke again, then pretend to explain what he had done, and finally signaled with his eyes to the imperial physician to check her food and drink today.

No matter what the result is, the imperial physician will, at the emperor's instruction, put the blame for her vomiting blood today and the abnormality found in the incense on the eldest prince.

Bu Shian felt excited at the thought that she would soon cooperate with them in acting even though she knew everything, and they would still think they were smart and feel complacent about fooling her.

After all, this is the same principle as monkey show.

Bu Shian suppressed the excitement in his heart, moved the hand that was covering his mouth to the corner of his eyes, and pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.

"Stop fighting, Your Majesty, please stop fighting."

"There's no evidence to prove it was Huang'er who did it. If you keep hitting him, Huang'er will..."

When the emperor heard Bu Shi'an trying to stop the fight and presented evidence, he finally stopped his actions.

He glanced at the eldest prince lying on the ground, unable to open his mouth to defend himself, and finally felt relieved.

Then the emperor turned around and deliberately looked angry.

"Hua'er, there's no need to plead for this rebellious son."

"Since he's become your first suspect, it means that this rebellious son has shown no respect or sincerity towards you, his mother, over the years. He deserves this beating."

Seeing that Bu Shi'an seemed to be hesitant to speak, the emperor's expression softened.

"Don't worry, Hua'er. I'm not someone who would force a confession under duress. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

"If this rebellious son hadn't done it, I would have sent a royal physician to take good care of him."

"On the contrary, if this rebellious son is truly so rebellious, I will never condone it just because he is my son."

As the emperor spoke, he glanced at the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground in panic.

The imperial physician immediately bowed upon receiving this look and volunteered to check the dining table which had not been cleared due to the chaos.

As the imperial physician examined each plate one by one, layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He checked all the food on the plate, including the utensils and chopsticks, but still couldn't find any trace of poison.

At this moment, the imperial physician's heart sank.

As if he had noticed the imperial physician's condition, Bu Shi'an coughed weakly and then spoke softly.

"Doctor Li, if there's something wrong with these things, it would be clear evidence. No one would be so stupid."

She sighed when she said this, and seemed to be sad.

"Musk is no more poisonous than any other substance. If it were mixed with just one of these things, I might have already eaten the only poisonous substance."

When the imperial physician heard this, he was startled and turned his gaze to the only plate he had not checked.

The plate placed in front of the imperial concubine was splattered with blood and only had some leftovers like vegetable stems and chicken skin, which the imperial concubine did not like to eat.

Doctor Li's Adam's apple rolled as he stepped forward to take a closer look.

Sure enough, musk was found in it.

but……

Why was there no food inside, not even the vomited-out residue wrapped in blood?

Musk has only been found in the blood.

It’s like someone who has been exposed to musk for a long time. The musk enters the blood through the skin, but is forced out of the body by the internal strength developed through martial arts practice.

After getting this guess, Doctor Li turned his head abruptly.

Everyone was looking at him, but Doctor Li could only see the bed behind everyone.

The woman, who was no longer young but still had a bright and beautiful face, looked at her quietly.

The jade-white index finger was raised to the lips in a gesture of silence.

Doctor Li was stunned and wanted to say something.

But the woman seemed to know what he was thinking, and the hand that was previously raised to her lips had changed its position.

His index finger and thumb were vertical, and that incomprehensible gesture swept back and forth between him and the emperor.

Doctor Li didn't know how powerful it was, but a faint voice in his heart told him.

That gesture signified murderous intent.

The imperial concubine already knew who was harming her.

He told the truth and was doomed to die.

If you don't tell the truth, the one who dies might become the emperor.

Doctor Li thought a lot in an instant, and finally made up his mind when the emperor frowned and asked impatiently.

I would rather die than have my friend die. The emperor doesn't care whether he lives or not, but Mr. Li doesn't want to die anyway.

After making up his mind, Doctor Li made a bold decision: he would deceive the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have checked the food and utensils on the entire table."

"In the end, I only found musk on the food scraps that the Empress vomited along with her blood."

"I suspect that the musk that caused Her Majesty to vomit blood was hidden in the meatball she ate just before she vomited blood."

As soon as Doctor Li finished speaking, Luzhu, the maid who had been serving at the dining table, immediately stood up and knelt down after receiving the eye signal from her queen.

"Your Majesty, everything Your Majesty ate before was prepared by the First Prince."

"There was a problem with just one meatball, but it happened to be picked up by the eldest prince and placed on the queen's plate."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Queen."

As Lu Zhu said this, she directly gave one to the emperor.

The emperor was very considerate and immediately kicked the eldest prince again.

"Rebellious son, what else do you have to say?"

"On this table of dishes, there's only one meatball that's problematic, and it happened to end up on your adoptive mother's plate after passing through your hands, and you still say it has nothing to do with you!"

As if still not satisfied, the emperor kicked the eldest prince twice more before looking at Doctor Li again.

This time, the emperor's eyes were full of hints.
