Feng Yinli, who was sitting in the hall, couldn't help but clench his fingers and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the Queen Mother with a look.
The Queen Mother met Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua's gazes with deep suspicion, and smiled gently at Wen Yi.
"Wen Yi, don't be afraid. Since you don't have such thoughts, there's no need to worry. Your father and Empress Hua will definitely find out the truth and clear your name.
The Empress Dowager will also make the decision for you. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, the Empress Dowager will ensure that you are safe."
"Yes, with the words of the Imperial Grandmother, Wen Yi is not afraid of anything anymore."
Wen Yi nodded heavily, as if she had regained her confidence.
At this moment, the woman standing behind the Queen Mother moved, and walked silently to Wen Yi. She looked like she was tidying up Wen Yi's clothes, but when everyone was not paying attention, she stuffed a red pill into Wen Yi's hand.
Wen Yi read the antidote from her eyes and stuffed the red pill into her mouth without hesitation.
[This golden needle was clearly brought by Wen Yi on purpose to poison me! Fortunately, I have an indestructible body, so I was able to escape harm. Furthermore, the golden needle pierced Wen Yi's body in the opposite direction, causing her to be poisoned.]
Wen Yi is such a young child, and her own mother is imprisoned in the cold palace. Where did she get the snake venom needle? Someone must have given it to her. This person is most likely the Queen Mother!
The Queen Mother said this to Wen Yi, encouraging her to continue her stubborn stance. This is clearly aiding and abetting the evil! This old woman is truly a hypocritical and cunning fox!
At this moment, Feng Wanwan finally understood what the system had meant when it said she was almost injured.
She then understood the truth of the whole matter, and she gritted her teeth, which still had not come out, and started cursing angrily.
It was also thanks to the Vajra Indestructible Body function that she had obtained from the system earlier, otherwise, it would be her, Feng Wanwan, who was poisoned at this moment.
Listening to Feng Wanwan's inner voice, Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua felt their hearts wrench in their throats. They both imagined the scene of Feng Wanwan being poisoned, and their hearts began to bleed.
Concubine Hua took the lead in attacking.
"Mother, how can you be so sure that the golden needle was not brought by Wen Yi? How can you be so sure that Wen Yi would not harm Wan Wan?
In my opinion, the appearance of this golden needle is strange, and Wen Yi's ability to accurately report the type of poison on it is even stranger. All of this proves that Wen Yi is inextricably linked to the appearance of the golden needle.
"Mother, I agree with the Imperial Concubine. This golden needle is definitely related to Wen Yi."
Feng Yinzhen immediately agreed. Although he usually had many complaints and grumbles about the kid, when he thought about how the kid almost met with an accident in his arms, his heart ached and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
He already knew in his heart that the poisonous golden needle was indeed made by Wen Yi, and Wen Yi really wanted to kill his cub.
And the Queen Mother is the one who protects her!
He didn't want to obey the Queen Mother's wishes and make the matter smaller as he had done before. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The Queen Mother's face turned slightly cold, and her tone was also cold.
"Since the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have suspicions, then we should investigate further and find out the truth. Why are they all pointing fingers at me and saying these strange things?
What? Do you still suspect that I was the one who ordered Wen Yi to use the poisonous needles to harm the Emperor and Princess Chunxi? This is simply ridiculous!
"This is truly absurd! Wen Yi is also a princess, the empress dowager's granddaughter. Princess Chunxi is also the empress dowager's granddaughter. What reason would the empress dowager have to instruct her granddaughters to kill each other?
Is the Imperial Concubine overly suspicious of the Empress Dowager? Although the Emperor dotes on the Imperial Concubine, he cannot let a woman's opinions sway his thinking. If he does, how is he any different from King You of Zhou, who once set fire to the beacon towers to trick the princes?
It wasn't just Feng Yinli who was dissatisfied and angry about this. Min Yu was also there. He had just drunk a few glasses of wine and took advantage of the alcohol to stand up and pointed at Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua in the hall and shouted angrily.
"The Queen Mother is your mother. The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine treat her like this. Where is filial piety? I will condemn you with both words and writing!"
Min Yu was also a censor in the court and had the duty and right to advise the emperor. Therefore, he accused Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua with confidence, and his tone was fierce and without any mercy.
Even though Feng Yinzhen has always been broad-minded and able to look at things objectively, he found it difficult to suppress his emotions and his face darkened when he heard Min Yu's accusations.
"Uncle Minyu, I respect you as a senior official in the court and as my uncle, and have always treated you with kindness. Yet, you actually confuse me with King You of Zhou. Do you think I am as foolish as King You of Zhou?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi is not only the Empress Dowager's granddaughter, but also your biological daughter. You have wrongly accused Princess Wen Yi of murder because you favor Concubine Hua and her daughter. This is outrageous. In my opinion, your actions are no different from those of King You of Zhou!"
Min Yu roared even louder, looking determined to break rather than bend.
Feng Yinzhen's face became more and more ugly. He slammed the wine glass in his hand hard on the table. Because he used too much force, the wine glass was actually shattered.
He was about to speak when he saw Wen Yi, who was kneeling in front of him, suddenly look strange, with dark red blood flowing out of his eyes and mouth. Then, with a pair of terrified eyes, he fell stiffly to the ground like a scarecrow.
The palace maid serving Feng Yinzhen screamed.
"Ah, Princess Wen Yi! Quick, protect the emperor!"
The sudden change in front of him surprised Feng Yinzhen and he was stunned.
At this moment, Feng Wanwan's inner voice came again.
[Oh no! I just noticed the nanny behind the Queen Mother approach Wen Yi. I thought she was trying to appease her, but I didn't realize she was there to send her off and shut her up.]
