Since it was a sickness, the imperial concubine stayed in the meditation hall, and the imperial concubine guarded the emperor, watching everything, testing for poison everywhere. The next day, it was time to feed the soup, and the imperial concubine continued to carefully test the poison as usual, and then mixed the antidote into it. Feed it to the emperor in decoction.

But just after she put the pills into the medicine bowl, the door of the inner hall was suddenly pushed open, and the empress empress led them in, angrily scolded: "Bold bastard, you actually poisoned the emperor! Come on, arrest her!" stand up."

The imperial concubine guarded the medicine bowl, fearless in the face of danger: "Presumptuous, who dares to touch me!"

The queen pointed to the medicine bowl in her hand: "Everyone has stolen money, what excuse do you have?"

The imperial concubine said calmly: "Empress, the emperor is seriously ill and the inner hall needs to be clean. Do you really want to argue with me here?"

The queen snorted coldly: "Okay, let's go to the outer hall."

Not long after, the matter turned into a big mess. Upon hearing the news, Concubine Xian immediately went to Baohua Palace to invite the Queen Mother to be the master.

Therefore, in the outer hall of the Jingxin Hall, the Empress Dowager sits in the main seat, the Queen sits in the deputy seat, and the concubines of the six palaces sit in a row on the left and right. In the middle, there is a table with the bowl of soup and medicine on it.

The Empress Dowager was holding a Buddhist bead, her head full of gorgeous hair, and her demeanor was dignified. She looked around and asked: "The emperor is seriously ill now, but you are making such a fuss, what's the matter? What happened?"

The queen stood up and saluted, and told the queen mother that the maid saw the imperial concubine putting medicine in the emperor's bowl.

The Empress Dowager looked at the imperial concubine and asked sharply, "Is this really the case?"

The imperial concubine stood up, walked to the table and respectfully saluted the queen mother, after she finished the salute, she stood still, and she said: "There is indeed such a thing."

For a time, the audience was in an uproar.

The queen mother was shocked: "What?!"

In the next second, the imperial concubine picked up the medicine bowl and drank half of the medicine without hesitation. After drinking it, she said: "Queen Mother, try the medicine with yourself. I am not poisoning you."

Her behavior was truly astonishing.

The queen stood up and shouted anxiously: "Mu Qingwan, are you crazy? Taking the emperor's medicine without authorization is an unforgivable crime. Come here! Drag her to the cold palace and lock her up!"

"Wait." The queen mother raised her hand to make everyone quiet, and then looked at the noble concubine, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

The noble concubine said: "Returning to the Queen Mother, the emperor is not sick, but poisoned. What the concubine added to the bowl is the antidote."

"What?! Poisoning!" The queen mother shouted, and all the concubines in the outer hall were terrified. The queen's body shook, and she barely stabilized her figure with the chair on her hands.

The imperial concubine knelt down: "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can call the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Office for questioning."

Queen Mother: "Go and call the imperial physician!"

Not long after, Dr. Kuang rushed to the Jingxin Hall, knelt down and saluted: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the emperor is indeed poisoned."

Queen Mother: "Why didn't you say something so important!!!"

Dr. Kuang kowtowed: "I deserve death for my crimes. I'm stupid. I only found out yesterday that the emperor was poisoned. As soon as I found out, I immediately told the matter to the imperial concubine who was serving the illness, and I troubled you to give the emperor the antidote."

Empress Dowager: "If the emperor can be cured, I can spare your life. If it can't be cured, ask for the death penalty."

Dr. Kuang continued to kowtow: "Yes yes yes."

The queen's face was pale, and she realized something was wrong after a while.

With such a cautious personality, how could the palace maid easily find out that she was pouring medicine into the bowl!

When the incident came to an end, everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was in danger, and all items near the emperor's upper body, as well as food, were tested for poisons, and nothing was leaked.The investigation of the poisoner began immediately.

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Empress De and Xian Concubine returned together, Concubine De had lingering fears: "Today's incident is so serious, fortunately the Empress Dowager is in charge of the situation, otherwise the imperial concubine and sister may not be able to protect themselves."

"I can't protect myself?" Concubine Xian sneered, "You are so stupid, why do you think I invited the queen mother to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Concubine De: "Huh?"

Concubine Xian lowered her voice: "The younger sister of the imperial concubine asked me to do this. She just wanted to make this matter bigger, the bigger the better, and let everyone know about it. Only in this way, the empress can't speak up! The empress is anxious to catch her. I want everyone to know that she tampered with the emperor's medicine, but how could everyone know that the emperor was poisoned? Otherwise, the queen is in charge of the six palaces on weekdays. .”

Concubine De: "Oh my god, I don't see that the younger sister of the imperial concubine is such a scheming person."

Concubine Xian sighed: "There are some people who just don't fight. If she fights, no one will give her three points."
