Seeing Consort Xiao, who had been knocked unconscious by Liu Wei, on the bed, Liu Hong shook her but she wouldn't wake up, so he hurriedly summoned the imperial physician.

Wang Chengen left in a panic.

"How...how did you know she was drugged?" Liu Hong asked Liu Wei, tilting his head.

"Because I was also confused just now, and my mind was clouded by the drugs, I almost caused a disaster."

"Fortunately, my father arrived in time. A dragon's roar and a tiger's howl saved me."

As Liu Wei spoke, he bowed deeply to Liu Hong, then picked up the extinguished incense from the room and presented it to Liu Hong:

"Father, please look at this."

Liu Hong sniffed it: "There's actually a scent of aphrodisiac in this?"

"Does Father still believe that I violated Consort Xiao? If this does not dispel your doubts, we can wait for Consort Xiao to wake up, check if she is a virgin, and then ask who drugged her. That will reveal the whole story!"

This scheme to frame someone is full of loopholes; Empress He and her people are simply insulting Liu Wei's intelligence.

Liu Hong nodded repeatedly at Liu Wei's words.

The main issue was Wang Meiren's affair, which had become a thorn in his side.

Empress He was a femme fatale.

She was already the Empress, the mother of the nation, yet she still harbored such intense jealousy.

Consort Xiao was of exceptional quality in every way, and Liu Hong took a liking to her at first sight.

Unfortunately, he had been ill for more than a month and had not been able to seduce the dragon and conceive.

However, Empress He saw all of this.

It was during Liu Hong's illness that Empress He suppressed Consort Xiao in every way.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to summon Liu Wei to the palace to frame someone, we can also get rid of Consort Xiao, who is a thorn in our side.

If any concubine were to commit such an act, the only outcome would be death!

In addition to being subjected to tortures such as riding the wooden donkey and sitting on the hemp rope, her entire family was executed and exiled thousands of miles away.

"So, my son has truly been framed? I must investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Empress He never expected that the trap she had set would be so easily thwarted by Liu Wei.

Moreover, Liu Wei almost directly revealed that the person who drugged her was Empress He!

Liu Hong said that even if the matter is investigated, it will probably be dropped!

He can't do anything to Empress He now!

"If Your Majesty wishes to investigate this matter, I will certainly cooperate. I have some matters to attend to at Yong'an Palace, so I will return first!"

Seeing that Liu Wei had not been framed, Empress He prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Liu Wei immediately spoke up to stop him.
