"Clever words. Do you think I will believe your lies?" The empress was very pleased with herself as she placed Imperial Concubine Jin on the ground and ordered her personal palace maid to search the palace.
She had bribed the palace maid long ago to find out that Imperial Concubine Jin had hidden the prescription for the female tribulation in a bottle bestowed upon her. She didn't even need to use any tricks to frame him, only Hu Jin's own loophole would prevent her from turning over forever!
The court lady walked straight to Imperial Concubine Jin's rack. She carefully checked the decorations on the rack one by one under Imperial Concubine Jin's panic-stricken expression.
There was a huge mess in the bottles, large and small, but the prescription the empress was looking for was the only one missing.
"Empress!" The palace maid's heart skipped a beat from Ye Feian's deep gaze, carefully checking out the empress's expression.
The empress became more and more confident. She was no longer as confident as she was before. How could she not understand that she had fallen into a trap?
A counterplot!
"Empress." The palace maid searched in detail and shook her head as she retreated behind the empress.
Imperial Concubine Jin lowered her eyes to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes as she coldly laughed in her heart.
"Since the Empress said that the entire harem is poisoned, then we can also take a pulse for chenqie. The entire harem knows that this concubine is in danger. This concubine can't possibly risk her life and count herself and my son in as well, just to frame the other consorts. "
Ye Feihan pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement. He had passed on many imperial physicians who had examined the imperial concubines' arteries and veins. Not all of them had suffered from a woman's misfortune. The lighter the better, the more likely it was that their pregnancy would endanger their lives. The imperial harem had nearly a hundred people, none of whom were spared.
The empress had publicly accused Jin Jibing of being a imperial concubine, so this was the only way to clear the place of suspicion.
Imperial Physician Ye Feian ordered her to kneel on the ground and take the imperial concubine's pulse because she didn't dare to help Imperial Concubine Jin up.
Imperial Concubine Jin's pulse was in a mess. She was even weaker than the others who had examined her previously.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was indeed trapped in a beauty trap, but this subject has also discovered that there is a poison within the concubine's body. The two poisons are at odds with each other." This old official has also discovered this poison in the safe meridians of the other esteemed ladies. "
There were two types of poisons in conflict with each other in her body.
The imperial physician stroked his beard and sighed. He and his colleagues in the Imperial Physician Courtyard had long since found this poison in the body of the He Imperial Palace's head when they were using their safety meridians. Because of the pressure, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Today was a great time to say it out loud. The empress had been keeping an eye on the progress of the case even after such a big incident had occurred. If they couldn't find out the reason, then the entire hospital would have to die.
"Where's the Queen? "Where's the empress?"
Ye Feihan affectionately helped Imperial Concubine Jin up and smashed the teacup on the table into pieces. The sleeping eldest son in the cradle pursed his lips and sobbed.
The originally confident and confident empress was so scared that her palms were covered in cold sweat.
"His Majesty is so angry that it hurts his body. Be careful of his health."
Imperial Concubine Jin had tears on her face as she hugged the child tenderly to comfort him.
"Your consort has failed her duty. Please punish her, Your Majesty."
The empress tremblingly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. Today, Imperial Concubine Jin made a move, and conceded.
Fortunately, before Ye Feian returned to the feudal fiefdom, he secretly contacted his father to work with him. His father had already agreed, hoping that he would help him on behalf of their cooperation.
Ye Feihan's face turned ashen as his dissatisfaction with the empress grew.
What a queen! Such a vicious heart!
Hmph, I definitely don't believe that this series of events had nothing to do with the Empress. It was either the empress's mastermind or she must have consented to it, or it would not have been so rampant.
"Tell me, what poison did the concubines in this harem suffer?"
The imperial physician was terrified by Ye Feihan's question. Say it or not? Things had happened a long time ago, and the empress and imperial concubine had already started fighting not one or two days ago. If the empress and Imperial Concubine Jin reported truthfully, neither of them would have spared the Imperial Physician Bureau, but if they didn't, they definitely wouldn't have made it through today.
The empress nodded to the imperial physician. Ye Feihan was already suspicious. If he continued to conceal it, it would only be the opposite. It would be better to just say it aloud, as she knew all of the suspicious feelings that had plagued her husband and wife for so many years like the back of her hand.
He might as well hide it and face it. With his suspicious personality, telling the truth would actually play a role of concealing what he wanted to do.
"The Imperial Concubine and the other Imperial Concubines were all struck by 'General Li'."
will leave...
Ye Feihan sneered. Jiang Li was a chronic poison used by his father when he secretly executed Ye Lianhe's father, Ye Mingchen. It was colourless, tasteless, and extremely poisonous. If it was just one point a day, it would last for at least a month.
What a sinister scheme!
Imperial Concubine Jin's eyes were filled with tears. If she hadn't inadvertently discovered this abnormality after entering the palace so many years ago, her bones would have turned cold.
"Your Majesty." She gently shouted, "Ye Feihan, hold back your tears."
Ye Feihan held her in his arms and looked at the empress with a cold gaze, as if they were ice and snow in the middle of winter.
"Go check if the empress has been poisoned."
The distrust towards the empress of Ye Feihan left her heart aching. The young couple she and Ye Feihan had once loved each other deeply. However, things had unknowingly taken a turn for the worse for the worse.
"Does the emperor not believe in chenqie?"
The imperial physician wiped away his cold sweat as he gingerly took the Queen's pulse.
"Your Majesty, the empress also has this poison."
Impossible! How could this be?!
The originally calm Imperial Concubine Jin was thrown into chaos. Impossible! Yesterday, she specially bribed the imperial physician to investigate. The empress clearly wasn't poisoned!
"Are you sure?" Ye Feihan frowned.
Imperial Concubine Jin was covered in cold sweat. She had used a counter trick to lure the empress into a trap she had prepared beforehand. She had never expected that the empress would have someone backing her up.
She knew the empress must have held back, but she never thought she'd be involved in order to trip her up.
"Why is His Majesty still unwilling to trust chenqie?" The Queen smiled wryly.
"Chenqie already knows the medicinal properties of the poison. No one would give such a potent poison to themselves, right?" This concubine only wants to know what she has done wrong in the past few years to cause His Majesty to distrust this concubine. "
Why? Ye Feihan was also not clear. Probably out of guilt. Equivalency changes the heart of the storyteller, but the heart of the storyteller changes. The empress was truly wronged when she reflected on what she had done at midnight.
He was truly afraid, afraid of her revenge.
Seeing that Ye Feihan's attitude had begun to loosen, Imperial Concubine Jin felt that it wasn't good. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed while holding the child in tears. Since he had already chosen to go against the empress, he could only gamble everything he had today.
"It's all my fault! Your consort is guilty, causing Your Majesty to have a grudge with the Empress. "
"Scram, I have to deal with His Majesty. It has nothing to do with you! "
The empress was so angry that her face turned blue. She just hated why the assassin didn't kill her with a single slash.
After being interrupted by Imperial Concubine Jin, Ye Feihan returned to his senses and sent his men to investigate. "Even if you have to turn the palace upside down, find out. I want to see the results in two hours!"
