Rebirth of the Imperial Uncle's Medical Concubine

Chapter 320: The Queen's House Arrest (2)

Although neither of them was the Queen's biological son, the Queen was the mother of the country after all, so all the princes had to respectfully address the Queen as "Mother!"

The queen smiled and said to Xiao Tiansi, "Why are you back? When did you arrive?"

Xiao Tiansi smiled and said to the Queen, "I just arrived. The Emperor's uncle sent me a letter telling me that he would be leaving Qing for a while and asked me to come back."

The Queen smiled and said to Xiao Tiansi, "My Royal Brother is so thoughtful! You came to the palace right after you came back. Are you tired?"

Xiao Tiansi sneered at Xiao Tianming and said, "I'm not tired. Thank you for your concern, mother. I just entered the city and wanted to come to the palace to say hello to my father. I didn't expect to run into my brother at the door. I heard from my brother that my father had an accident in my mother's palace, so I came in with my brother. See if there is anything I can help with?"

Concubine Xu looked at the two of them talking and laughing and didn't take herself and Xiao Tianming seriously. When she heard what Xiao Tiansi said, she said to Xiao Tiansi, "Fifth Prince is thoughtful. Your father was poisoned while eating at your mother's place. Now the imperial physician is looking for the source of the poison."

When Xiao Tiansi heard Concubine Xu's words, he said to her coldly, "My Lady Concubine, please be careful with your words. After all, the source of my father's poison has not been found yet. Don't make any rash decisions!"

Concubine Xu seemed to have just reacted, and said to Xiao Tiansi with a smile, "Ah, yes, yes, it was I who said too much."

When Xiao Tianming heard what Xiao Tiansi said, he sneered at Xiao Tiansi and said, "My brother, why do you say this? After all, it was the Queen Mother who had the problem. Doesn't it have anything to do with the Queen Mother?"

Xiao Tiansi said coldly to Xiao Tianming, "What? Is what I said right? After all, we haven't found out what happened yet. Any words we say now will cause misunderstanding. If it's not found out that it's Queen Mother's fault, then what will others think of her? Will they think that she has dealt with the matter, or will they think that she is really innocent?"

After all, Xiao Tiansi was a person who spent all his time in the martial arts world and spoke frankly. After he said this, Concubine Xu and Xiao Tianming were speechless.

At the same time, Doctor Liu had already found the source of the poison. Seeing that Doctor Liu was hesitant to speak, Concubine Xu smiled and said to Doctor Liu, "Did Doctor Liu find the source of the poison?"

Imperial Physician Liu hesitated to speak to the Queen and Concubine Xu, "Your Highness, Concubine, Third Prince, Fifth Prince, I have indeed found the source of the poison! But, but...!"

Concubine Xu smiled and glanced at the Queen, then said to Doctor Liu, "Doctor Liu, but what?"

Doctor Liu said to Concubine Xu, "My Lady, the poison did not come from the food on the table, but from the candles in the Queen's palace!"

When the queen heard what Doctor Liu said, she was surprised and asked, "What did you say?"

Doctor Liu said to the Queen, "I mean the poison came from the candles in your Candle Palace!"

When the Queen heard about candles, she looked at Nanny Li in surprise and asked, "Mammy, did you get these candles from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

When Li Ma heard what the Queen said, she quickly said to the Queen, "That's right, and it was I who went there in person yesterday!"

As soon as Li Ma Ma finished speaking, Concubine Xu sneered at the Queen and said, "Queen, it seems that she is still someone from your palace!"

The Queen said coldly to Concubine Xu, "If it was a real candle, why are we all fine, and only His Majesty was poisoned!"

Concubine Xu sneered and said to the Queen, "What's wrong? Maybe you have already taken the antidote in advance, and the candle has burned out, so there is no source of poison now, so we are all fine. Or maybe there is something in the food you ate that can trigger the poison in His Majesty's body, who knows."

After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she did not forget to ask Imperial Physician Liu, "Imperial Physician Liu, is what I said wrong?"

Doctor Liu said to Concubine Xu, "This old minister dare not make a rash decision. After all, this old minister does not understand what is going on. I hope that Your Majesty can allow this old minister to go back and do more research. Then I will know what is going on."

After hearing what Doctor Liu said, Concubine Xu said coldly to the Queen, "During the research process, I'll have to trouble you to wait here and not leave until His Majesty is out of danger. Is that okay?"

When Nanny Li heard Concubine Xu's words, she said to her anxiously, "My Lady Concubine, you have no right to confine the Queen!"

Concubine Xu said coldly to Nanny Li, "Don't the people in the Queen's palace know that I am the highest-ranking official in the palace besides the Queen? Can't I confine the Queen? After all, this is the Queen's fault. Do you want His Majesty to wake up and confine the Queen?"

When Nanny Li heard Concubine Xu carrying His Majesty out, she wanted to say something, but the Queen raised her hand to stop her and said to Concubine Xu, "Okay! Okay! Okay! What the Concubine said is right. Okay! Then, according to what the Concubine said, I will stay in the palace and wait until His Majesty wakes up before making a decision!"

Nanny Li said to the Queen anxiously, "Your Majesty! You...!"

The Queen smiled and said to Xiao Tiansi, "Please tell my brother what's going on in the palace, and tell him to go to the South Country and do his business. Just don't worry about the palace!"

Xiao Tiansi said to the Queen, "Yes, mother, I will convey your message. And don't worry, mother, I will find a way to detoxify my father and clear your name!"

The queen smiled and nodded, then said to Wang Ping, "Eunuch Wang, please ask someone to come to my palace to see His Majesty!"

When Concubine Xu heard what the Queen said, she said to Wang Ping anxiously, "No, Eunuch Wang, if you leave His Majesty here, I'm afraid...!"

Before Concubine Xu finished her words, the Queen said coldly, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will harm His Majesty again? You can rest assured that I am still waiting for His Majesty to wake up and clear my name. Therefore, it is safer in my palace than anywhere else!"

Concubine Xu wanted to say something else, but the Queen interrupted her coldly and said, "Why are you unwilling? Are you afraid that I will poison His Majesty again, or are you afraid that His Majesty will wake up and clear my name?"

When Concubine Xu heard what the Queen said, she was so frightened that she quickly said, "That's not what I meant. I just want His Majesty to wake up quickly so that the Queen can be cleared of all charges!"

The Queen sneered and said, "Well, the Imperial Concubine is still sensible. When His Majesty wakes up, I will definitely tell His Majesty!"

After hearing what the Queen said, Concubine Xu didn't dare to say anything!
