Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan

Chapter 583 Concubine Duan is pretending again

"Your Majesty, do you think I can help you with this matter..."

Before Su Peisheng could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him:

"Don't worry, I want to see what role Hongli plays in this matter?"

After saying this, the emperor walked into the Yangxin Palace with his hands behind his back and a serious expression.

Cold palace.

When the emperor arrived at the cold palace, he first saw the concubines surrounding the room where Concubine Duan lived in layers, and then he heard Hongli calling for his mother in grief.

When Su Peisheng reported it, everyone turned around hurriedly and saluted the emperor.

The emperor said nothing, but walked straight forward. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly split into two sides to make way for the emperor.

At this time, although Concubine Duan looked dying, she had not yet completely died.

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. Imperial Concubine Xi…she…wants to…poison…me…"

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Duan's raised hand dropped uncontrollably, and she was only half dead.

Zhen Huan glanced at the emperor and saw that he was calm. She knew that he had other plans, so she knelt down hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, I didn't. I don't know why Concubine Duan was suddenly poisoned..."

"No?"

Hongli looked at Zhen Huan with hatred:

"Today, Mother, except for Concubine Xi, I have not seen anyone. You did not poison her. Could it be that Mother did it herself and wants to frame you?"

As he spoke, Hongli knelt down before the emperor and kowtowed:

"Father, we only have one life. Even ants try to survive, let alone my mother. Who would risk their own life to harm others?"

"Please, Father, make sure to make the decision for my mother."

The emperor did not speak. He scanned the crowd and finally landed on Jixiang.

"you!"

The emperor pointed at Jixiang and said:

"What happened at that time? Tell me!"

Jixiang glanced at Concubine Duan, who was about to die, and crawled towards the emperor crying:

"Your Majesty, my queen and Imperial Concubine Xi had something to say, so I and Aunt Jingxi, who is by Imperial Concubine Xi's side, were asked to guard the door."

"I don't know exactly what happened inside."

"But later... I suddenly heard the sound of a cup falling to the ground, and then I heard my queen say, "Empress Xi, why do you want to harm me?"..."

"When I and Aunt Jingxi went in, we saw...we saw my queen..."

Before he could finish his words, Jixiang was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

The emperor looked at Jinxi again and asked:

"Is that right?"

Jing Xi glanced at Zhen Huan, then looked at the Emperor:

"It is indeed as Jixiang said, but I believe there must be another hidden story behind this matter. It must not have been done by my queen!"

Shen Meizhuang also knelt down hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi would never do this. Please understand clearly."

Concubine Hua glared at Concubine Duan, who was still breathing, and then walked up to the emperor and saluted:

"Your Majesty, before Concubine Duan invited Concubine Xi, she also sent someone to invite me, but I was worried that I would be poisoned by her again, so I didn't come..."

"Fortunately, I did not come. If it was me who came today, I would be the one kneeling before the emperor, unable to defend myself."

Concubine Jing also saluted the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I also don't think it was Concubine Xi. There is absolutely no reason for Concubine Xi to do this!"

Concubine Jing always felt that this matter was not that simple, because neither the Emperor nor Zhen Huan seemed to be in a hurry.

This is a serious crime of murdering a concubine. Even if the concubine was banished to the cold palace, this is not a trivial matter. How can he be so calm and composed?

Unless... unless one is fully confident and certain about the matter, no one can be so calm.

Could it be that Concubine Xi and the Emperor already knew the inside story in advance?

Thinking this in her heart, Concubine Jing's heart gradually calmed down.

It looks like there will be a good show to watch today!

"Madam Hua, what do you mean by this? Even if you are on good terms with Concubine Xi and have a personal grudge against my mother, you must not slander my mother like this."

"My mother is poisoned, but Concubine Xi is fine. How can you say such a ruthless thing?"

"If Concubine Duan is truly innocent, why would she instigate Concubine Kang to attack the child in my belly?"

Hua Fei deliberately raised her voice:

"Your Majesty, I have to speculate on this matter. Perhaps Concubine Duan felt that she couldn't stand being in the cold palace, so she came up with this method to frame Concubine Xi?"

"Hua Fei, you...you are going too far!" Concubine Duan said weakly, pointing at Hua Fei.

Seeing that Concubine Duan still had the energy to blame Concubine Hua, An Lingrong found it too unbelievable. How could she look like someone who had been poisoned?

Thinking of this, An Lingrong took a step forward:

"Your Majesty, may I ask the imperial physician a question?"

The emperor didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he agreed with An Lingrong's statement.

After getting permission, An Lingrong looked at the imperial physician and asked:

"Excuse me, Imperial Physician, what poison did Concubine Duan take?"

"To reply to Concubine An, Concubine Duan was poisoned by arsenic."

"I don't know medical knowledge, so I would like to ask the imperial physician, if someone takes arsenic, what symptoms will occur?"

"Although arsenic is highly toxic, if a person takes a small amount, his life will not be in danger after inducing vomiting. However, if an overdose is taken, he will die in a short time."

"What does the imperial physician think of Concubine Duan?"

"This……"

The imperial physician looked at Concubine Duan, then at An Lingrong:

"Although Concubine Duan looks very weak, but... after taking her pulse, I found that the dose she took was not much."

"So I immediately induced vomiting in Your Majesty, but Your Majesty still looked very weak. I thought..."

The imperial physician paused and felt that there were some things that he should not say too clearly, otherwise wouldn't he offend the Fourth Prince?

So, he thought about it before continuing to speak:

"It may be related to your physique..."

As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, Concubine Duan started coughing again.

She had just wanted to make up her mind and die, but when it came to giving the medicine, she still couldn't make up her mind and only put a tiny amount of powder in.

Unexpectedly, I was exposed on the spot!

Why is it different from what I thought?

Shouldn't the focus be on who poisoned me, instead of focusing on how much I took?

Concubine Duan thought so in her heart and coughed a few times out of guilt.

She wanted to live, to see Hongli gradually become the crown prince and then the emperor...

Only then could she properly discipline Concubine Hua and torture Concubine Xi!

Only in this way can all the women in the harem who are more favored than her die miserably!

Hongli was so shocked by the imperial physician's words that he was speechless.

Didn't my mother say she would help me? Why did you change your mind?

Seeing how she was dying just now, I really thought she was going to...

It turns out that even I was almost fooled by her!

How abominable!
