A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

The Emperor looked at Consort De and saw that she looked terrified, and even her body trembled slightly.

He was extremely disappointed. He believed he had not mistreated any of the concubines, and even when he favored Consort Yun, he had not been harsh on anyone. He had also shown the emperor the favor of his concubines.

Consort De was his concubine back then, and they had been together for many years. Unexpectedly, all of this could not withstand the power of the emperor.

The Empress Dowager is right. The women in the harem have no true feelings; it's all just a transaction of interests.

The only one who loved him was Consort Yun, but he was blind to her true feelings and trusted the Empress too easily. In the end, he was all alone, which was truly retribution.

"The evidence is conclusive, yet you still dare to deny it. I will make you wish you were dead."

At this moment, the Emperor glared at Imperial Physician Song, wishing he could kill him with a single sword stroke.

However, he understood that Consort De was the mastermind behind this.

“Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I made a mistake with the medicine. I thought it could help Your Majesty improve your health, but I never thought that eating too much snake grass would harm your body. I deserve to die. I beg Your Majesty for mercy.”

The imperial physician, Song, kowtowed repeatedly, the movement so forceful that his forehead must have been cut.

He tried to struggle, but Bai Luoluo wouldn't let him have his way.

"Snake grass is a semi-toxic substance, and very few people use it."

If you hadn't done it on purpose, how could this have happened? The Emperor's health is of utmost importance; even the Imperial Hospital wouldn't have such medicinal materials.

If I'm not mistaken, you smuggled this medicine into the palace without permission. If you don't tell the truth before the Emperor today, have you considered the future fate of the Song family?

Bai Luoluo has been involved with medicinal herbs since she was a child, so how could she be fooled by such a small trick?

If the wrong medicine is prescribed, who is the Emperor? How could the Imperial Hospital dare to have poisoned medicines?

Bai Luoluo's words were like a decree, and now Imperial Physician Song finally understood why his poisoning had been discovered.

It turns out that Bai Luoluo is actually a divine doctor. No wonder the emperor woke up so quickly, and even everything was seen through.

“What the Crown Princess says is true. I brought the poison into the palace without permission, but that was not my intention. It was Consort De who captured my son and threatened me. I was forced to poison Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will consider that I was forced to do so and not implicate my family. I will atone for my sins with my death.”

After saying this, Imperial Physician Song suddenly produced a dagger and committed suicide, blood gushing out instantly.

"what.........."

Consort De screamed in fright, and blood splattered all over her.

Seeing this scene, no one sympathized with Imperial Physician Song. He could have reported the matter to the Emperor or the Crown Prince, and perhaps this tragedy would not have happened.

However, he actually poisoned the emperor. Once the truth comes out, the entire Song family will be implicated and die.

"Your Majesty, please see the truth. It is all because of Physician Song that I have been wronged. For so many years, I have followed the rules and never made a mistake. Your Majesty, please do not believe these seditious words."

Consort De came to her senses and kowtowed, crying out for justice. This time, she was not as arrogant as usual. Her hair ornaments swayed with her movements, and her neat hair became somewhat messy.

The Emperor stared at her coldly, his eyes filled with disappointment, but even more so with disgust and murderous intent.

If you wanted him dead, why do you dare to beg for mercy now?

"You vicious woman, how dare you cry foul? I have treated you well, why would I poison you?"

The Emperor spoke sternly, which frightened Consort De so much that she immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I love you so much, why would you poison me? Someone must be framing me. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."

Consort De cried out, looking aggrieved.

"Ha ha........."

The emperor laughed instantly, "Love me? That's ridiculous. All these years, it's all been for power, wealth and glory. Do you think I'm a fool?"

These women fawned over him; they had no genuine feelings for him, only that he was the emperor.

"No... Your Majesty, I love you."

Consort De shook her head in denial, saying that she had no true feelings for the Emperor and had been raised by her family since childhood in order to enter the palace as a concubine.

"To confess the truth and avoid physical punishment—was this your idea or the Second Prince's?"

He wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well why Consort De would poison him.

The second prince, though usually well-behaved, actually harbored ambitions.

"No...it's not the Second Prince. His Majesty knows he doesn't compete or fight for anything. This is clearly someone deliberately framing my son and me."

"You still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die. I really misjudged you before. I never expected you to be such a viper."

The Emperor was furious when he saw that Consort De refused to admit her guilt even in death and dared to cry foul and not tell the truth.

"I have treated Your Majesty with sincerity, how could I possibly harm you? If Your Majesty does not believe me, I will only prove my innocence with my death."

Consort De saw that things had come to this point, but she would never admit it, even if it meant her death.

Now we can only take a gamble. If the emperor still has any pity for her, he will not let her die.

"Even if you die, I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Don't try to get away with it."

"Your Majesty, I have never done such a thing. It is possible that the Crown Princess did all this in order to harm me and the Second Prince."

At this moment, Consort De turned her attention to Bai Luoluo.

That damn bitch, none of this would have happened if it weren't for her.

Even in death, she would drag Bai Luoluo down to hell with her.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoluo almost laughed in anger.

Does she have the words "scapegoat" written on her forehead?

"Are you a dog?" Bai Luoluo said disdainfully. "I am the one who cured the Emperor's poison. Your ability to shift blame is still too immature."

"It was you who framed me. Otherwise, how could someone as stupid as you have learned medical skills and even detoxification? Who would believe that?"

Consort De glared at her resentfully, insisting that Bai Luoluo was responsible for the incident.

"I am the Crown Princess, and will be the Empress in the future. You say that I poisoned you to harm you? What do you think you are that I would do something to you? You are really putting on a show."

These words made Consort De's face turn white and then black, then white again, and she was so angry that she almost died on the spot.

"you........."

“Father, Consort De and the Second Prince are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They actually poisoned the Emperor. In my opinion, they should have their hands and feet chopped off and be forced to beg on the streets as punishment.”

It would be too easy for her to die. I was thinking of letting the Emperor deal with her, but this Consort De is so ungrateful and wants to drag me down with her. Then she won't be polite.

"You vicious woman, how could you be so ruthless!" Consort De roared. "Your Majesty... the Crown Princess is the mastermind behind this!"

"You dare to frame my good daughter-in-law even when you're about to die? Since you have the power to poison me, then go and become a lowly beggar."

The Emperor roared in anger.

"No... Your Majesty cannot treat me like this!" Consort De cried out. "Your Majesty and I truly knew nothing about this matter. Since Your Majesty does not believe me, I have no choice but to die to prove my innocence."

Now that all hope is lost, she refuses to become a lowly beggar.

She was the high and mighty Consort De, and now only death could save her son.
