If the poison were put into the emperor's food, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Who dares to be so brave?
The emperor naturally knew it, but he couldn't help but worry.
"What if it's in the Queen's diet?"
Eunuch Zhang was stunned and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Naturally, the empress did not have the same treatment as the emperor, which included tasting food.
"Your Majesty, please stop imagining this. Let me tell you, maybe someone just doesn't like Princess Duan. There are many people in this palace who have never seen Princess Duan. Maybe someone is worried that Your Majesty will be bewitched..."
She had just arrived and sat down when the imperial concubine arrived.

It was she who came up with the brilliant idea of capturing Lin Jiuxi and bringing him back to the palace.
But there was one question the emperor hadn't figured out yet. How did Lin Luwan know about this person when he had only been in the palace for one night? "Go and investigate secretly to see if this Concubine Lin did it?"
The empress dowager knew about it when the emperor brought Lin Jiuxi back to the palace late at night.
Eunuch Zhang was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking he was lucky, and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, Lin Zhaoyi, who has been favored by His Majesty in the harem recently, is the second daughter of the Lin family. I heard that before she entered the palace, she was very unfriendly to the then Princess Duan in General Lin's mansion!"
Lin Luwan was almost mad to death.
It was Cai Lian, who was by her side, who suggested that she go and ask the Queen.
This wave of operations can be said to be the first time in the palace.
It is said that Lin Luwan originally wanted to take snacks to the Qinzheng Palace, but when she turned back, she saw everything in Jufangyuan and went straight back to the palace.
Lin Luwan was so happy at the time that she didn't know what to say. She just felt that God was helping her.
After all the ceremonies were completed, the Queen Mother sat down on the Luohan chair beside her and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty forgot that the palace will naturally go back and investigate the matters before the concubine enters the palace!"
It was only when Eunuch Zhang mentioned Lin Luwan that the emperor remembered her.
The imperial concubine understood what was going on, so she packed up and went to where the queen was.
As soon as the imperial concubine sat down, she said hurriedly, "Empress, I heard that there is a woman living in Jufang Garden, and she has been poisoned. Who is she?"
The Queen Mother, with a very smart mind, had already guessed it.
The emperor was immersed in his own thoughts at the moment and did not realize that Eunuch Zhang had said something wrong.
The emperor must have been angry and was scolded for not going there. He might as well ask the queen.
No matter how favored Lin Luwan was, she was only an eighth-rank Zhaoyi in front of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, and had to bow her head when they met.
"Who said it wasn't? The woman's poisoning alarmed Your Majesty, Queen Mother. I'm afraid this matter..."
He just sighed and said, "She is lucky!"
Eunuch Zhang asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty suspects that Dandinghong is Lin Zhaoyi..."
Unexpectedly, all the efforts were wasted in the end, and instead the palace maids and eunuchs were in trouble.
Nanny Hua came in from the outer room and said, "Her Majesty, I have checked with you. The people in Jufangyuan are fine. The imperial physician said that the poisoning was mild and they will be fine after vomiting and resting for a few days. However, the eunuchs and palace maids sent by the Queen were the most seriously poisoned!"
I didn’t expect Lin Luwan to be there too.
Let’s not talk about who poisoned Lin Jiuxi for now, as long as he can make Lin Jiuxi unhappy.
In Shouyuan Palace, the empress dowager knelt in front of a Buddha statue, constantly threading a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
She had originally planned to go to the Qinzheng Hall in the evening, which would allow the emperor to stay overnight so that she could make some requests.
"Go ahead!"
"Uh, look at me, I really forgot!"
I never expected that before it even got dark, news came out that Lin Jiuxi had been poisoned.
Lin Luwan stood here like an isolated child, with an embarrassed look on her face.
Being able to spend your remaining years in the palace is something many people would envy.
When Eunuch Zhang said this, he realized something was wrong and immediately shut up!
The next day, he deliberately arranged for the imperial kitchen to deliver these extra foods, just to make Lin Jiuxi eat more so that he would be poisoned to death.
The emperor would never allow such a vicious woman to exist by his side.
She wanted to stand up and question the imperial concubine directly, but when she thought about her status, she was afraid that if she questioned her directly, she would be scolded by the imperial concubine, and maybe even punished.
"Lin Luwan? If it's really you... humph!"
All the concubines in the harem knew that there was a woman living in Jufangyuan. She entered the palace quietly and was poisoned without anyone knowing.
For example, let Lin Jiuxi live with me, so that I can deal with her more easily.
"yes!"
Unexpectedly, two hours later, he said everything was fine.
"Are you saying that someone in the harem is trying to harm Princess Duan? Taking this opportunity to do it?"
Aunt Hua came in and saw that the Queen Mother had not finished chanting yet, so she waited on the side.
The Queen Mother listened and drank tea, with no expression unusual on her face.
"No need for that. The emperor values this woman so much, she must be very useful to him!"
It turned out that the person who poisoned this time was the Queen Mother, not the Queen, nor Lin Luwan.
In the quiet Qinzheng Hall, the emperor's voice was as ruthless as a thorn frozen into ice in winter.
But the Queen Mother didn't know that her small action was now known to everyone in the palace.
Eunuch Zhang quietly retreated.
The emperor waved his hand and rubbed his forehead.
"Queen Mother, do we need to make further arrangements later?"
The Queen Mother's face was full of kindness and peace, and one could tell just by looking at her appearance that she was a kind-hearted person.
Just like that, after Lin Luwan bowed slightly, the imperial concubine looked at her with disdain, and without asking her to stand up, she bowed directly to the queen and sat down on her own.
So Lin Luwan took small steps and came to the Queen before it got dark.
But unfortunately, this time Lin Jiuxi suspected the wrong person, and the emperor also suspected the wrong person.
The Queen glanced at the Imperial Concubine in a reproachful manner and said, "You are just too impatient. You don't even care about Lin Zhaoyi."
"How do you know?"
The imperial concubine, out of curiosity, went to Jufang Garden several times to take a look, but fortunately she was stopped by her personal servants.
Thinking of Lin Luwan who was trying hard to maintain the same posture.
"I will explain it to the emperor myself!"
The imperial concubine was touched by the queen, and she deliberately said contemptuously: "Get up! Lin Zhaoyi is here so late, is she here to ask about the matter of Jufangyuan as well?"
Lin Luwan's face was stiff, but she managed a smile and said, "Yes, I am worried that someone has poisoned the palace, so I came to ask the Queen!"
"Humph, you are just a little Zhaoyi. Whoever wants to harm you is really overestimating his own abilities!"
"you……"
Lin Luwan knew that the imperial concubine was mocking her.
