Chapter 205 Who dares to do such a dirty thing in front of me
"ah!"
"What happened to Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi?"
"Sister Hua, Huan'er!!!"
"Quickly call the imperial physician!"
For a moment, the banquet that had just been lively and bustling became panic-stricken.
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! Imperial guards, protect the emperor!!"
Su Peisheng shouted loudly and at the same time stood in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this place is not safe. How about I escort you back to the Yangxin Palace?"
Su Peisheng still doesn't know what the situation is at the moment, and is afraid that the emperor will be hurt here.
"I won't leave. I'll stay here. Today, I'm still here, and someone dares to cause trouble here. I want to see who is causing this trouble."
The Emperor glanced at the Queen vaguely. This banquet was organized by the Queen, and the ones who were in trouble now were Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan. No matter who looked at it, it was obvious who the biggest beneficiary was.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know why this happened, but the most urgent thing now is to see how Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi are doing."
Although the Queen wished that the two bitches, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan, would die soon, she also knew that she must not let anything go wrong at the banquet she hosted. Now that the matter of the Crown Prince had become public in the court, she must not let anything go wrong at this time.
"Investigate, investigate for me! I want to see who has the guts to do such dirty things in front of me."
"Hanhuan, Shilan, how are you guys doing?"
At this moment, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan felt as if their stomachs were being stabbed by knives. Although they had learned from Wen Shichu that the poison was very powerful, they had not expected it to be so painful.
"Your Majesty, who wants to harm me? Who is it?"
As soon as Zhen Huan said a word, blood began to flow out of her mouth uncontrollably, and Nian Shilan beside her was no less painful. The painful expressions on their faces told everyone what had just happened.
"Where's the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"
Chen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and others surrounded the two of them, their faces pale with fear.
Although Chen Meizhuang already knew about their actions today, she still felt extremely distressed when she actually saw them like this, and her hatred for the Queen increased even more.
She had advised the two of them before that there was no need to actually take the poison. They could ask Doctor Wen to develop a medicine with similar symptoms instead. However, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan agreed that they had to be cruel to themselves this time. Only by letting the emperor see with his own eyes how they were persecuted, and when the queen's crime was exposed, would she be completely unable to turn things around.
"Here he comes, here he comes, the imperial physician is here."
Someone shouted loudly, and instantly the people gathered around made way for the doctor to come over.
Chen Meizhuang quickly looked up, and when she saw that the imperial physicians who came were Wen Shichu and Jiang Cheng, she felt relieved.
"Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand towards the two of them and said, "No need to be so polite. Go and see how Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi are doing."
The emperor was extremely furious at this moment, and even more frightened. Someone had hurt Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan right under his nose without anyone noticing. Could they do the same to him next time?
Wen Shichu had already made up his mind, but he was still worried about other unexpected events that were not planned.
He and Jiang Cheng first carefully examined Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan's symptoms, then picked up the uneaten snacks on their table and sniffed them, and then carefully tested the pastries with a silver needle.
Sure enough, the silver needle soon turned black, and everyone who saw this scene was so scared that they held their breath.
It was not until this time that he felt completely relieved.
Fortunately, the other party did not change the poison, so his antidote came in handy.
He took out a box from the medicine box, then picked up two pills and asked Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan to take them respectively, then turned around and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the cakes of Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi were poisoned. I have just given them my specially prepared Hundred Poison Detoxification Pills, which can slightly alleviate their symptoms. However, if they want to fully recover, I and Imperial Physician Jiang will need to research a specific antidote for this poison. However, this poison is very strong, and I am afraid that even if the poison is detoxified, the bodies of the two ladies will definitely be damaged."
Wen Shichu reported to the emperor based on what Zhen Huan had told him before. In fact, the antidote pills he had just given to Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were for this poison, but Zhen Huan said that the emperor must not be allowed to get away with it easily this time.
"Okay, I'll trouble Imperial Physician Wen and Imperial Physician Jiang from now on. Someone, come quickly and take Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi away first."
The emperor felt relieved when he heard that Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were no longer in danger of their lives. If an ordinary palace banquet had caused the deaths of two such powerful ladies, how could he maintain his dignity as an emperor if this got out?
"Doctor Wen, please check if there is anything unusual with these other cakes."
Su Peisheng thought of a question at this time. This pastry was made uniformly by the imperial kitchen, but why did only Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi have problems after eating it?
Wen Shichu and Jiang Cheng carefully checked the pastries in front of everyone. As expected, only the two plates of pastries in front of Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were poisonous.
"Very good, come here, lock up all those involved in this matter and interrogate them strictly."
The emperor issued an order in anger. If this matter was not thoroughly investigated, no one in the palace would dare to dine in peace in the future.
At this time, Xiao Xiazi whispered something in Su Peisheng's ear, and Su Peisheng immediately relayed it to the emperor.
"Bring the people up."
No one knew what had happened, but they saw that the anger on the emperor's face had deepened a lot.
"Your Majesty, while searching everywhere just now, I discovered that this palace maid was acting strangely. She ran to a corner alone and in a panic. I realized something was wrong and had her captured."
At Su Peisheng's instruction, Xiao Xia Zi carefully reported to the emperor what had just happened.
The person being pinned to the ground by the guards at this moment was Rou Da Ying, who was dressed in the clothes of a palace maid. After she and the others served the cakes, she hid in a corner and observed the situation here. After discovering that Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were indeed poisoned as she had planned, she was ready to escape, but she didn't expect to be caught so quickly.
At this moment, she was so scared that she curled up into a ball and knelt on the ground. She knew that she was finished, and this time she was really and completely finished.
"Tear off the veil from her face. I want to see who this person is."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Xiazi, who was kneeling beside Rou Da Ying, quickly reached out and pulled off her veil.
A familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
"Rou agrees?"
