Lin Yiwan said calmly, "I dare not. I will drink this cup of wine as a token of goodwill. From now on, I will not dare to show any disrespect to Her Majesty Yunfei!"

She picked up another wine glass and slowly poured the wine into her mouth.

However, just as she finished pouring, she saw Mrs. Du, who had originally looked normal, suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood.

"Puff!" The sparkling blood covered the heads and faces of several noble ladies.

"Ah!" They all screamed and jumped up.

Lin Yiwan's body also shook violently. She gritted her teeth and said, "Madam Du, didn't you say that this wine is not poisonous?"

Mrs. Du originally wanted to step on Lin Yiwan and make her have a bad reputation for being disrespectful to the royal family.

But he didn't expect that he would fall into a trap and lose his life.

She anxiously grabbed Wueryun's arm and said, "Antidote! Please, Madam Yunfei, bring out the antidote quickly!"

Wu Eryun flatly denied it: "I don't have an antidote, and I didn't poison you. Don't try to deliberately slander me, you old man!"

The chaos here naturally alarmed the emperor and his court officials.

He rushed over and shouted, "Someone, please call Dr. Lin!"

Not long after, Doctor Lin hurried over. He picked up the wine jug and carefully examined it before saying with a pale face, "It's the highly poisonous Gelsemium elegans. There's no antidote!"

Madam Du's expression suddenly changed, and she fell to the ground.

Lin Yiwan was still in good spirits. She gritted her teeth and said, "Empress Yun, how can you explain this? The wine jug is yours, and you poisoned me!"

Wueryun just felt that she was so wronged. It was true that she wanted Lin Yiwan to die, but how could she be so stupid as to poison her in public?

Could it be Cui'er?

That girl is the one who makes decisions?

Thinking of this, a trace of guilt flashed across her face.

She retorted without hesitation: "The wine jug is mine, yes, but I won't poison you. Today is my wedding day, and I won't ruin it. Don't try to accuse me of anything wrong!"

At this time, Minister Min spoke up: "In order to prove the innocence of our princess, I agree to let your nanny search her and her maids!"

Wu Eryun's expression suddenly changed. She shouted angrily, "Min Xiang, you can't make rash decisions. You're not helping me, but making me bear a stigma!"

Minister Min frowned, "Your Highness, I believe this is the most appropriate way to dispel other people's suspicions. If we keep it hidden, it will only make it easier for people to make wild guesses!"

Wueryun stamped her feet in anger. She looked up at Emperor Sheng'an with a wronged face and said, "Your Majesty, how can you bear to let Yun'er suffer such an injustice at the wedding banquet?"

She thought she was stunningly beautiful and relied on her young age. More importantly, today was their wedding day, and Emperor Sheng An would definitely speak up for her.

However, after waiting for a moment, he actually heard him speak directly: "I agree with Prime Minister Min's decision. Since Concubine Yun is so open and honest, why should we mind searching her?"

"Me!" Wueryun's face immediately turned red and ugly.

Emperor Sheng An ignored her and asked the old nanny standing next to Li Delu to come over quickly.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Concubine Yun. This old nanny is an elder in the palace. She has my deep trust and will definitely not let you suffer any injustice!"

Concubine Yun shook her lips vigorously. Since the emperor had said so, if she insisted on refusing, it would probably arouse public anger.

She could only reluctantly spread her arms: "Just search!"

After a moment, she said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, what if Yun'er is proven to be innocent?"

Emperor Sheng An said: "I will compensate you!"

Wueryun blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please keep your word!"

Emperor Sheng An assured without hesitation: "Your Majesty is not joking!"

The old nanny got a hint from his eyes and quickly walked over to Wueryun and said, "Empress Yun, I'm sorry for offending you!"

Even though Wueryun had been prepared for a long time, he still felt very humiliated at this moment.

As the current Concubine Yun, the Princess of Li Kingdom who had just married into the royal family, she had to endure such embarrassment.

It’s all that bitch Lin Yiwan’s fault. It was obviously her fault for offending too many people, which caused her to be implicated.

hateful!

Just when her thoughts were confused, the old lady's hand on her waist suddenly stopped.

She asked in a serious tone, "Empress Yunfei, what is this thing? Can you take it out?"

Wueryun frowned subconsciously: "What else could it be? Isn't it just a small bottle?"

The old nanny took it out and handed it directly to Doctor Lin: "I don't know much about herbs, so please let the doctor smell it!"

Doctor Lin opened the cork and hesitated for a moment before his expression suddenly changed.

He spoke quickly, "It contains the juice of the Heartbreak Grass. More than half of the bottle is gone. How does Concubine Yun explain this?"

Wueryun froze, and when she saw the angry looks of the crowd, she shrank back in fear.

She quickly retorted: "Nonsense, I haven't even seen this little bottle, how would I know it would be on me? Someone must have framed me, I'm innocent, I didn't hurt anyone at all!"

Imperial Physician Lin interrupted without hesitation: "Empress Yun, the evidence is irrefutable!"

Wu Eryun glared at him with gritted teeth: "You old bastard, you must have deliberately framed me, didn't you? I will kill you, I will kill you now!"

Without any hesitation, she picked up the wine jug at hand and smashed it hard on Doctor Lin's head.

The wine jug shattered with a loud crash. Doctor Lin was safe and sound, but Lin Yiwan was covered in wine stains.

Even though her face was extremely pale and ugly, she still forced herself to speak stubbornly: "Don't hurt my grandfather!"

Wu Eryun yelled directly: "You two are not good people!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Sheng An suddenly shouted.

Wueryun was yelled at and almost fell to the ground. She argued aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, Yun'er didn't mean to harm her, please believe me!"

She paused, then looked at Min Ao pleadingly: "Min Xiang, are you just going to watch?"

Min Ao spoke without hesitation: "Your Majesty, our princess would certainly not ruin her own wedding banquet. This must be a misunderstanding. Please understand!"

Wueryun almost cried with joy. He finally helped him.

She nodded hurriedly: "Yes, today is my big day, how could I be so stupid as to ruin it with my own hands?"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "No matter what, the poison bottle was found on you, so you can't escape responsibility!"

Wu Eryun's eyes were red as he spoke: "Your Majesty, have you ever considered whether someone is trying to sow discord between our two countries?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Du vomited blood several times.

At this time, the Marquis of Huaiyang urged with a pale face: "Your Majesty, we can slowly investigate the real culprit, but my mother's life cannot wait. We must first find a way to detoxify her!"

Madam Du gritted her teeth and tried to stop him: "Son, don't embarrass the emperor. Your life is nothing!"

The Marquis of Huaiyang quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please save my mother!"
