Chapter 20: The Empress Becomes a Suspect of Poisoning
That's right, the new favorite concubine of Dongfang Chen is indeed the eldest of the three Zhao sisters she found two months ago. Wang Yuyan is her new identity, and from now on, there will be no more Zhao Yan in this world.
She did not disappoint her, as soon as she entered the palace, she gave Yun Xiao a warning.
Yun Jing Chu had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and she quietly ate with her head down.
The banquet was in progress, the ministers said something, the dancers danced something, Yun Jingchu didn't care about any of it. She just sat quietly beside Zhu Shi, eating her own food calmly, with clear eyes and a peaceful expression.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the main seat, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? The Emperor, the Emperor, it seems that Her Majesty has been poisoned."
"Empress, wake up, wake up! Imperial physician, summon the imperial physician!" Dongfang Chen's angry roar echoed.
Yun Jingchu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Dongfang Chen rushing down from the dragon chair, holding Wang Yuyan's limp body, shouting loudly, like a lion that had been provoked.
As the Prime Minister's daughter, Yun Jingchu was not far from the throne at first, and Wang Yuyan's face color could be seen with some effort. It was only then that Wang Yuyan's face turned pale gray, her lips white, a clear sign of poisoning to anyone who saw it.
So who poisoned him...
Yun Jing initially looked at Yun Xiao Yao, Yun Xiao Yao had a worried look on her face, but the schadenfreude in the depths of her eyes revealed her true emotions.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and immediately determined that it was poisoning. He gave Wang Yu Yan an antidote pill, then had her carried to a nearby palace, with one of the physicians following behind. The remaining physician carefully examined the wine and cup.
"Who brought this wine?! Investigate! Who brought the wine?! Who poured it?!" Dongfang Chen slapped the armrest, his face red with rage as he glared at the crowd below. The room fell silent, all the officials sat quietly, like wooden chickens. All the servants knelt trembling, their bodies shaking with fear.
Dongfang Chen has killed countless people over the years, and the aura of death on him is extremely thick.
"I report to Your Majesty, this wine was all brought up by me. However, I absolutely did not put poison in it." A eunuch crawled forward on his knees, stuttering and saying as he finished, then kept kowtowing.
"I present to Your Majesty, this wine cup was brought by me. I absolutely did not poison it." A palace maid also crawled forward on her knees, knocking her head and trembling with fear.
Yun Jingchu's gaze was like a feather floating down, gently landing on the palace maid, with a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes before he quietly lowered his eyelids.
That palace maid, who she knew, was called Qiaoyun, one of the palace maids serving her in the Cold Palace. At that time, many scars on her body were inflicted by her.
"I report to Your Majesty, this wine was poured by me. I absolutely did not have the intention of harming Consort Shao." The palace maid who had been standing behind Wang Yu Yan and attending to her, now kowtowed on the ground trembling with fear.
This palace maid was also familiar with her and was another palace maid who served her in the Cold Palace - Cailian.
It seems that Yun Xiao Yao has fulfilled her promise and transferred the two of them out of the Cold Palace.
"Your Majesty's physician, how is it?" Dongfang Chen's face was gloomy as he looked at the imperial physician.
The imperial physician stepped forward and bowed his head, saying: "Your Majesty, it's the rim of the cup that has been poisoned, there's nothing wrong with the wine in the jug."
The woman in charge of the wine cups heard this and immediately turned pale, trembling with her lips unable to utter a single word.
"How dare you, a lowly maid, to openly poison the Imperial Concubine! Take her away and execute her immediately!"
Two eunuchs stepped forward, carrying the little palace maid out while she was screaming in terror, "Your Majesty spare my life! Your Majesty, I don't know anything! Your Majesty, I didn't do anything!" After shouting a few sentences and seeing no effect, she panicked and looked at Yun Tuo Yao, "Empress, save me! Empress, please save me!"
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to Yun Tai Yao, their eyes strange and eerie, including Dong Fang Chen...
