As soon as they came out, everyone immediately surrounded them: "How is His Majesty? Have they found out? What happened to His Majesty?"
The queen's gaze swept across everyone and stopped at Sheng Yunrou.
Sheng Yunrou's whole body froze almost immediately.
Sheng Nanzhi, who was standing beside Sheng Yunrou, immediately heard Sheng Yunrou muttering to herself: "It's over, it's over."
"She really wants to deal with me."
"She insisted that it was my fault."
But the queen's gaze only stayed on her for a moment, then slid away and fell on Du Qiyu and her son standing on the edge.
After a long while, the Queen finally withdrew her gaze and spoke, "The doctors at the Imperial Hospital have carefully examined Your Majesty's condition. Your Majesty has been poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?"
Sheng Yunrou also exclaimed in a low voice: "Poisoned?"
Why is it different from what she thought?
Isn't it windy?
She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. It was good that the wind wasn't coming soon. It was good that the wind wasn't coming soon.
Just as the breath had subsided, the Queen's voice came again: "To avoid unnecessary complications, the exact nature of the poison Your Majesty was poisoned with will not be announced for the time being."
"But the imperial physician said that His Majesty's poisoning is relatively mild. He has already taken the antidote and should wake up soon."
"Although the antidote has been taken, your Majesty's poisoning cannot be treated as if it never happened."
"The most important thing now is to find the person who poisoned us."
The Queen raised her chin slightly and said, "I have already ordered the Grand Censor and the Grand Justice to come to the palace to assist in the investigation of the person who poisoned me."
"Today, when the emperor was poisoned, it was Concubine Rou who was waiting by his side. Apart from him, there was no one else."
"Therefore, the possibility of Concubine Rou is very high."
"Come here, take Concubine Rou away first and wait for interrogation."
Sheng Yunrou's eyes widened immediately. She never expected that the emperor would blame her even though he didn't have a stroke.
"The Queen is such a bitch, she did it on purpose!"
"She just wants to hurt me!"
Sheng Nanzhi heard Sheng Yunrou's words clearly, but inexplicably remembered the look the queen had given Du Qiyu and her son just now.
She felt that the Queen's target was not Sheng Yunrou.
If the Queen's target was Sheng Yunrou, and she directly said that the Emperor was having a stroke, then Sheng Yunrou would be completely finished.
But the queen said that the emperor was poisoned.
If he is poisoned, he will be a big target.
Sheng Yunrou was simply listed as a suspect because she was the only person present when the emperor was poisoned.
But the person who stayed beside the emperor when the poison took effect was not necessarily the one who poisoned him.
As long as we rule out the possibility of Sheng Yunrou poisoning, we can then suspect other people and investigate them.
But Sheng Yunrou had never thought of this at all. She was already overwhelmed by anger.
Sheng Nanzhi didn't want to remind her.
Let Sheng Yunrou doubt it.
The guards had already arrived in front of Sheng Yunrou: "Empress Rou, please come in."
Sheng Yunrou gritted her teeth and said, "When His Majesty wakes up, he will definitely make the decision for me! Just wait!"
Sheng Yunrou was furious and did not wait for the guards to take action. She turned around and walked quickly out of the hall.
The Queen remained calm as she continued, "Although only Concubine Rou was present when His Majesty took the poison, it doesn't mean that she was the one who poisoned him."
"Everyone present who has access to His Majesty is a suspect."
"Those who cannot contact His Majesty may also bribe those around His Majesty to poison Him."
"Therefore, until His Majesty wakes up and the true culprit is identified, no one is allowed to leave the palace for the time being."
"The princes should stay and wait for His Majesty to wake up."
"My dear concubines, you can decide for yourself whether to wait here or return to your own palaces."
As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Hua walked towards Sheng Nanzhi.
"You are pregnant, so don't stand here waiting. Come with me to my palace."
"If His Majesty wakes up later, someone will definitely report to me."
Sheng Nanzhi lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
Concubine Hua lived in Fenghua Palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she ordered the palace maids: "Go and get a large pillow and a soft cushion."
After she finished speaking, she sat down on the chair first: "Wait a moment, the chairs in this palace are too hard, and my waist will hurt if I sit for a long time."
"it is good."
Sheng Nanzhi sat down only after the palace maid brought a cushion and put it on the chair. The palace maid immediately placed the large pillow behind Sheng Nanzhi.
Concubine Hua then spoke: "When I came out of the inner hall earlier, I saw you standing with Concubine Rou. What did she say to you?"
Sheng Nanzhi didn't hide anything: "She suspected that the emperor had a stroke and was panicking. Seeing that I was the only person she knew well in the palace, she came to discuss countermeasures with me."
"She's got a headache?" Concubine Hua laughed. "Then she should be panicking."
Upon seeing this, Sheng Nanzhi immediately followed up on Concubine Hua's words and asked, "Then mother..."
"Has the Emperor really been poisoned?"
"Of course." Concubine Hua nodded: "Your Majesty has indeed been poisoned."
She paused, then lowered her head and took another sip of tea. "But, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with Sheng Yunrou."
"The imperial physician said that your majesty's poison is a chronic one."
"Logically speaking, the poison shouldn't have taken effect so early."
"But because he's been indulging in excessive sexual activity lately, his body is weak. Also, because he was too excited, his blood and qi surged upwards, causing the poison to break out prematurely."
Sheng Nanzhi suddenly realized and said so.
She remembered that the emperor in her previous life suddenly fell ill more than a month later.
But this time, something happened suddenly at this moment.
But it turns out that it was because of this.
"Once Your Majesty wakes up, the Empress and the Imperial Physician will report this matter truthfully."
"But I think His Majesty will not pursue Sheng Yunrou. Maybe he will even reward her."
"After all, if Sheng Yunrou hadn't been pestering him day and night, who knows when this poison would have been discovered."
"Chronic poisons, the longer they are used, the more toxic they become, and the harder it is to cure."
"Thinking about it this way, Sheng Yunrou letting the poison take effect early is actually a good thing."
"Your Majesty might even think that it was Sheng Yunrou's status as the Phoenix Lord that protected him, causing the poison to break out early."
Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "So that's how it is."
She laughed: "Just now, Concubine Rou was probably too worried. She thought that the Empress didn't like her and was deliberately plotting against her."
Concubine Hua curled her lips, her eyes calm but with a hint of hostility: "I have been fighting with the Queen for nearly twenty years, but now, neither Concubine Rou nor I are the Queen's main targets."
