Seeing the poisoned wine getting closer and closer to her, Xiao Zhao screamed and reached out to push the tray.

pat.

The tray wasn't steady, and she pushed it to the ground, shattering the wine jug and wine glass. A strong smell of alcohol instantly filled my nose, mixed with a pungent medicinal smell that made me want to vomit.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Including Shen Li.

She didn't expect Xiao Zhao to reach out and hit the tray. She just wanted to scare Xiao Zhao.

Her uncle told her that he had agreed to Xiao Zhao's conditions when she first entered the palace. As soon as she heard it, she knew that her uncle was taking advantage of the loopholes in Xiao Zhao's words and would never let her suffer any loss.

She was also quite happy to hear about the poisoned wine. This thing was rare and not something you could just get. It was said that because of its rare medicinal ingredients, there weren't many in the palace.

Isn't her cousin going to the Mizhou Iron Mine? She can divide the poisoned wine into several portions and let her cousin take them for self-defense.

As a result, it was smashed by Xiao Zhao and evaporated instantly.

"How dare you, Zhao, destroy the things given by the emperor. Don't you want to live?" Eunuch Chang was the first to react and scolded immediately.

In the center of the bedroom, the emperor had a sullen face and calm eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he turned to Fang Yao and said, "I didn't expect Prime Minister Zhao's daughter to be like this. No wonder after Queen Chu left, I was discussing the selection of the next empress with the Prime Minister in the Imperial Study. I asked him why he didn't let his daughter enter the palace. He said that his daughter was not well-educated and that if she entered the palace, she would cause me trouble. I was puzzled at the time why he would say that about his own daughter. Seeing him today, I can see that the Prime Minister is really sincere and honest."

These words were a bit embarrassing. After hearing them, Xiao Zhao wished there was a hole in the ground right in front of her eyes to crawl into.

Is it really necessary to be so ruthless? Before she dies, he will humiliate her and crush her under his feet.

"Eunuch Chang, go summon the old Prime Minister. I'll grant him a favor and let him bring the person back. Before that, let him find out for himself how Zhao Shi entered the palace in the middle of the night and how she made it all the way to Fengyi Palace."

The emperor did not kill her, but let the old prime minister take her away. After leaving the palace, there were many people who wanted to kill her.

For example, the Queen.

The emperor will ask Fu Lizhang to arrange people to secretly monitor and see how many cards the queen has left, which he doesn't know.

When Eunuch Chang bowed and retreated, he quickly glanced at Shen Li.

Nothing could be seen on Shen Li's face.

She also didn't want Xiao Zhao to die too easily. She had enough patience to slowly watch her enemy die of despair.

After hearing what the emperor said, Xiao Zhao suddenly burst into tears. "Your Majesty, I was really brought into the palace by that little bitch Shen Li. Your Majesty, please believe me this time. Shen Li is really not a human. She is not a human. She knows witchcraft. She is a witch. She captured me and my son together and used witchcraft to control us. She can reach any place in the blink of an eye."

"She ordered Kun'er to harm Yao Xun, and then quickly threw Kun'er back to the Shen Mansion. Then she threw me into the Queen's bedroom. It was so fast, it was all done in the blink of an eye. This kind of thing is unheard of. Your Majesty, you must believe that every word I said is true, not a single lie. Your Majesty..."

She shouted until she was hoarse and her voice became hoarse.

The emperor looked at her wailing below with an expressionless face. His lips moved slightly and he whispered, "She is very ill."

Fang Yao stood aside and replied quietly, "Yes, I think so too."

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhao as if she was a fool. She tried to cry out her heart, but unfortunately no one in the palace believed her.

A deep despair swept over me.

She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Li, hatred surging in her heart, "Bitch, you will not die well, you...you..."

As she shouted, her fingers gradually dropped.

The fear of Shen Li once again overwhelmed the hatred.

Countless scenes from that night flashed through her mind: Shen Li feeding her and her son medicine, her son uncontrollably stabbing others, and her uncontrollably scolding the Queen...

This horrible bitch, she hated her, yet she had to fear her.

Bitch, bitch.

The old prime minister entered the palace panting, and knelt down in front of the main hall of the Purple Palace. When he saw the emperor sitting in the main seat from afar, his eyes suddenly became moist.

He kowtowed several times and choked up, saying, "I didn't educate my daughter well enough, causing her to disturb His Majesty in the palace. I deserve death, I deserve death!"

As he spoke, his tears fell to the ground.

"Old Prime Minister, please stand up," the emperor said calmly, motioning for Eunuch Chang to help the man up. "She is guilty, but not punishable by death. Your daughter refuses to reveal how she entered the palace in the middle of the night. I will hand her over to you. Take her back and interrogate her thoroughly. Remember to send someone to the palace to report the results. As for you, old Prime Minister, please attend court as usual. Don't worry about it."

The old prime minister was stunned. He blinked his eyes and his wrinkled face was instantly filled with tears.

Before entering the palace, he had already prepared himself to be demoted, dismissed from his post, or even investigated. No matter what, as long as the emperor and empress investigated, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his daughter had committed a capital crime, and he had no reason to escape because of his daughter.

If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame myself for not disciplining my children enough, which led to the disaster today.

He never expected that the emperor would be so forgiving. He didn't even dare to imagine that the emperor would just let his daughter's death sentence go.

The emperor’s grace is so great!

The old prime minister was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He turned his head and looked at his daughter, feeling really disappointed in her.

I told her not to provoke Shen Li, but she just wouldn't listen. She suffered great losses every time, but she never learned her lesson.

"I thank the Lord for his grace. Long live the Emperor!" The old Prime Minister kowtowed repeatedly.

Without thinking, he stood up and faced Fang Yao again, clasping his hands above his head and bowing, saying sincerely, "General, your generosity is immense. I am deeply grateful. Please accept my greeting."

After saying this, he bent down deeply and kowtowed three times.

Fang Yao quickly reached out to help him, muttering, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, Old Prime Minister, you are embarrassing me."

Shen Li watched the scene quietly, and suddenly felt as if someone was watching her.

Suddenly turning around, she saw Xiao Chenze standing in the distance, tall and graceful, holding a folding fan. The wind gently blew his brocade robe, and he looked like a banished immortal. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
