"Your Majesty, there is no toxin in the Empress Dowager's body." The imperial doctor withdrew his hand and wept with joy.

Her Royal Highness is fine, and now their old lives have been saved.Princess Yongle is really a kind person, and when she returns, she will be given a longevity card.

"Your Excellency Physician." The Empress Dowager who was lying on the bed suddenly said, "I have something to ask for your help."

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "I don't know what orders does Your Majesty have?"

"After I was bitten by a spider, when I was in a coma, I smelled a strange fragrance on my body." The crown princess glanced at the queen who was standing not far away, and slowly clenched her hands under the quilt into fists.

"Fragrance?" The imperial doctors looked at each other, and the empress dowager continued, "In retrospect, that fragrance is the same as the Wu Yuxiang in the records."

Five Yuxiang is colorless and odorless to ordinary people, but this fragrance has a fatal stimulating attraction to poisonous insects, and the human body, if it is poisonous, can smell the strange fragrance of Wuyuxiang.

"This—" the imperial doctors hesitated, and the emperor immediately frowned, "Come here, search."

"Your Majesty, this is the East Palace, how can outsiders come in and search it!" The queen was frightened and hurriedly dissuaded her.

"It's okay." The Crown Princess smiled palely. "I won't care, besides, I also want to find out who is trying to harm me."

Soon, the chief eunuch came in with several young eunuchs and court ladies, and asked the emperor for instructions.

"Ah!" A little palace lady exclaimed, then took a few steps back, and even fell to the ground because of her high speed.

The emperor frowned, "What did you find?"

"Your servant...you should die, my servant..." The palace maid kowtowed nervously, "There are many scorpions, insects and ants in the wooden drawer that my servant inspected."

The queen's body trembled when she heard the words, and her face immediately turned pale.

The emperor frowned, and with his hands behind his back, he ordered: "Go and take out that wooden drawer."

Several young eunuchs quickly pulled out the wooden drawer, and scorpions, snakes, spiders, etc. rushed out instantly, the eunuchs were so frightened that their hands shook, and the wooden drawer fell to the ground.

"Escort! Escort!" The chief eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the emperor, while vigilantly staring at the pile of things slowly crawling around the wooden box on the ground.

The emperor pushed the chief eunuch away with a little force, but his eyes were attracted by a red sachet mixed with poison.

"Find a way to get that sachet out." His intuition told him that there was something wrong with that sachet.When he was young, he saw many such methods in his father's harem.

"The slave will go get it later, it's too dangerous here, your majesty and empress should leave quickly." The chief eunuch begged.

The queen's legs and feet have been weak since the moment she saw the poisonous snake, and at this moment she is also trying to hold herself back so that she doesn't show any strangeness. Hearing this, it's like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, let's go out first."

"Go and help the empress dowager out." The emperor held the empress's hand and ordered to the maid.

Princess Yongle also stepped forward to support the queen at this moment, and the group retreated out of the bedroom in a state of embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Imperial Guards dressed in armor and with long swords hanging from their waists walked in.Not long after, the door was opened again, and the chief eunuch came out with a red sachet.

"His Majesty."

The emperor glanced at the sachet, recalling the scene of it being entangled by poisonous snakes and spiders, a trace of disgust flashed across his brows: "The imperial doctor came up to check it."

An imperial doctor tremblingly stepped forward, took the sachet, opened the sachet, poured out some of the spices inside, fiddled with it back and forth, and then turned around to discuss with the other imperial doctors.

"Your Majesty." The imperial doctors knelt tremblingly, "Some of the spices in this sachet are indeed the ingredients for making Wu Yuxiang."

As soon as the imperial doctor's voice fell, there was a sudden gasp.

The empress dowager was murdered in such a sinister way, this person is afraid that she has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard.

"It shouldn't be." The Empress Dowager frowned. "Did you make a mistake, imperial doctor? This sachet was made by the queen mother and given to me. How could there be any problems!"

"Empress—" the emperor narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous. "Shouldn't you explain something?"

The queen tried her best to calm herself down, "What does your majesty mean? The princess is my own flesh and blood. Could it be that my mother, the queen, can harm my own flesh and blood?"

"Queen!" The emperor yelled angrily, and then calmed down when he saw the people around him.

"You follow me to the front." After finishing speaking, he winked at the chief eunuch at the side, who bent down and left quietly.

The group returned to the main hall in front, and the emperor circled back and forth among the empress and empress dowager with angry eyes.

"Queen, explain to me!" The emperor angrily put the teacup on the table, "Don't use that to fool me, I'm not a fool."

"The concubine has never done it, so what can I explain!" The queen's face was pale, and she was about to cry. "The princess is also a child of this palace. She has always said that mother and daughter are connected. Now that something happened to her, how can this palace not be heartbroken?"

"Father." Seeing this, the Empress Dowager knelt down immediately, her eyes flickering slightly. "Father, please think twice. Maybe it was framed by someone else, and my son doesn't believe it. The queen mother will harm my son."

"Your Majesty, calm down." Princess Yongle also knelt down and echoed, but a sarcastic smile flashed in her lowered eyes.

Mother and daughter bond?Fortunately, the vicious woman also said that she did not hesitate to kill her own daughter for the sake of the Ninth Prince, and even picked the day when Zhaohe entered the palace, causing Zhaohe to suffer.

If it wasn't for Yun Manqing, then she and Zhaohe really had a grievance and had nowhere to appeal.

"Get up first." The emperor rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "Zhaoyang, you just woke up, you are weak and go sit down first, don't get tired."

"Yes, Royal Father." The Empress Dowager agreed, and then sat down nearby with the help of the maid.

"Your Majesty." With a soft call, the emperor looked up, just in time to see the head eunuch looking outside the door. "Get out, what does it look like to poke your head outside!"

The chief eunuch stooped and trot to the emperor's side, and then whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

"What!" The emperor slapped the table, glanced at the queen with dark eyes, and roared, "Bring me up."

The queen's heart skipped a beat, and soon a bound maid was escorted up by the guards.

"Kneel down!" The guards pushed hard, and the court lady fell to her knees and knelt on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the cloth covering her mouth was pulled away.

"Niangniang, save me!"

"Jing Lan!" The queen recognized at a glance that she was the eldest maid next to her. The head eunuch bent slightly and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the maid. The servant also found it in her room and the sachet." Same spice."

"Empress, what else do you have to say?" the emperor said grimly.

There was a hint of panic on the queen's face, and she quickly knelt down: "The concubine doesn't know that there will be those spices in Jinglan's room, maybe they were bought to frame the concubine."

"Been bought?" The emperor repeated with great interest, and then turned his head to stare at Jing Lan who was kneeling below.

"You tell me, who exactly bought you!"

Jing Lan heard the Queen's words and stared at the Queen in disbelief, "Your Majesty!"

The queen closed her eyes, and then a look of grief appeared on her face: "Jing Lan, I have treated you so well, yet you don't care about master and servant at all. Tell me, who was it that ordered you to blame me? "

"Your Majesty!" Jing Lan climbed a few steps forward, and then was blocked by a few eunuchs beside the Empress, "This servant is loyal to you, how can you——"

"Wait." The empress dowager, who was silent at the side, suddenly said, and stood up again to salute the emperor, "Father, I believe that it must not have been done by the empress mother, and there must be deceit in it. Why don't you say anything and drag this court lady away?" Go down and torture me, I'm not afraid that she won't reveal the person behind the scenes."

"My concubine also thinks what Her Majesty the Empress Dowager said is justified. As the mother of a country, the Empress Dowager is an example for women all over the world, so how could she do such a thing as murdering her own flesh and blood?" Concubine Yongle persuaded her unhurriedly.

The emperor pondered for a while, "Come here, pull this court lady down, and let the Department of Punishment work hard to find out the truth."

"Empress!" Jing Lan struggled desperately, "Save this servant, this servant is clearly————"

The eunuch with eyesight immediately covered her mouth with his hands, and several guards stepped forward and quickly dragged her down.

The queen stared blankly at the direction where Jing Lan was being dragged out, and suddenly laughed twice. Everyone looked puzzled, only to find a trace or two of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"Wrong, wrong." The queen's body shook, and then fell to the ground. "This step, I made a mistake."

"Queen!"

"Mother's Empress!" The Empress Dowager walked forward in two or three steps, knelt down to support her shoulders, the Empress turned her head, looked at the face in front of her that was almost similar to her when she was young, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Cough—" Laughing, the Queen's chest heaved for a while, and then coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Zhaoyang, do you blame Bengong?"

"Hurry up, hurry up and send the imperial doctor in!" The empress dowager hurriedly finished ordering the people around her, and when she heard her words, she immediately asked in confusion: "What does the queen mother mean by this? I don't understand."

"No, you understand—" the queen laughed sadly, "You have been smart since you were a child, how could you not know."

"Empress, what have you done?" The emperor strode towards her, the empress dowager backed away slightly, and the emperor reached out and directly hugged the empress's body instead of her.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry." The queen coughed again, "I really have no choice this time. Since I went the wrong way, I can only pay for it with my life. I am not a good queen, let alone a good mother." , but...but please don't take your anger out on him because Xiao Jiu is still young."

"This matter is all done by the concubine alone, and has nothing to do with other people." The queen smiled, took a breath and continued: "The concubine was just confused for a while. Your Majesty appointed Zhaoyang as the crown prince, and the concubine replaced Xiao Jiu. Not worth it, but I forgot that Zhaoyang is also my child."

"Your majesty, the imperial doctor is here." Princess Yongle suddenly said, the emperor looked up at the door, with a hint of pain in his tone: "Come and show the empress quickly."
