After two people behaved strangely, everyone in the palace felt uneasy.
But the Queen Mother's words did make people feel at ease.
For those in power, it is always better to be willing to investigate rather than deliberately whitewashing the situation.
However, this matter was so horrifying that the hall was completely silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
Jianqiu moves very quickly.
But it only took half a cup of tea to get the result.
"Empress Dowager, besides Princess Jingse and Concubine Ling, the bird's nest duck dish served to the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and Concubine De was also filled with oleander flower liquid."
"It was only because the two princes had been staying by the Empress Dowager's side, and the De Guiren was pregnant and unwell, so she didn't eat the soup, that she was spared from this disaster."
After Jianqiu finished speaking, Hongli was the first one who couldn't hold back.
He slapped the table with his hand. "How dare you!"
The eldest prince Yongji and the fourth prince Yonghu were both from Qingying.
Yonghu is a real legitimate son.
In addition, Jingse was also born of a legitimate wife.
Is the purpose of today's attack to capture all his legitimate descendants?
And the nobles...
"Li Yu, investigate for me! I want to see who has the guts to murder my legitimate son!"
The emperor was angry and everyone could no longer sit still.
Originally, only Concubine Zhao was kneeling alone.
Now she has someone to accompany her.
Seeing the concubines and princes from all the palaces kneeling on the ground was really inappropriate.
The Queen Mother said sullenly, "Forget it. It's New Year's Eve, and we shouldn't make people panic. Let's all get up."
Everyone responded with thanks.
Hongli's anger subsided for a moment, and he turned around and bowed his head. "Please forgive me, Empress Dowager. It was my son Meng Wang who was reckless."
"How can the Emperor be blamed for this? There must be someone with ulterior motives who can't bear to see me love the Queen's child."
The Queen Mother took the responsibility of everything upon herself.
This made Hongli feel even more helpless.
It's really unfilial to let the Queen Mother worry so much about these dirty things in her harem.
But this is not the time to talk about this.
Hongli nodded slightly and also remained silent.
However, Concubine Zhao was still kneeling below and did not stand up and return to her seat with everyone else.
She was the person in charge of the palace banquet. Since nothing came to a conclusion, she had to kneel down.
Since the Empress Dowager did not give any order, Hongli was already dissatisfied, so naturally he would not give any special treatment to Concubine Zhao at this critical juncture.
Just this one check took the time of a stick of incense.
Instead of waiting for the source of the oleander, I received the news that the noble lady had a miscarriage.
There are not many concubines in the palace now, so you are considered to be favored.
Hongli was naturally dissatisfied with this sudden incident.
However, Jingse survived because he didn't eat much.
An unborn child is naturally inferior to a legitimate daughter.
After all, no one was killed, so the matter can only be postponed for further investigation.
The poisoning was not discovered until halfway through the palace banquet.
After being delayed for such a long time, even though the Queen Mother was in good health, she could no longer sit still.
Qingying looked at the tired look on the Queen Mother's face and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Following Qingying's gaze, Hongli felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly said, "Empress Dowager, it's getting late. I don't think this matter can be solved in a short time. Why don't we go home today?"
The Queen Mother did not refuse.
"If something like this gets out, it will only bring shame to the royal family."
After responding to Hongli in a low voice, the Empress Dowager sat up straight again and said in a clear voice, "The servants below were careless in their work. I have already made the decision and punished the servants who did not do their job properly. As for other matters, I don't want to hear any more. Do you understand?"
There was a chorus of voices from below, all urging people to follow the Queen Mother's instructions.
Hongli and Qingying supported the empress dowager, turned around and walked away slowly.
Before leaving, Qingying turned around and glanced at Concubine Shu.
As soon as the main person left, the hall suddenly became noisy.
Concubine Shu helped Ye Xin up.
The concubines in the palace were still sitting, and when she stood up, everyone immediately looked at her sideways.
Fortunately, there weren't too many people in the palace. Concubine Shu looked towards the nobles and said, "The Queen Mother has already said that it's getting late. I have asked someone to arrange sedan chairs to escort the princes and their wives out of the palace."
