"Go and invite the Queen, Noble Consort Heng, Consort Liang, Consort Shu, and Consort De," Xiao Hanyi ordered.
After hearing this, the palace maids went to convey the imperial edict.
Queen Wang was listening to the news in the palace. Although she was a bit reckless this time, fortunately the other party was completely unprepared. If she didn't take action, Xiao Hanyi's protection would become more and more strict, and she was afraid that she would have no chance.
She asked the palace maids to put a deadly poison in Guo Xiner's pastries. Guo Xiner loved purple sweet potatoes, and if there were purple sweet potatoes in the pastries on the table, she would definitely eat them.
Although today's matter is dangerous, the chances of success are high.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease. There shouldn't be any problem," Madam Liu advised softly as she brought a cup of tea to Queen Wang.
In fact, she was also hesitant in her heart. This method could only be used once, and there would be no chance to do it a second time.
"Empress, Empress, something bad has happened, something bad has happened."
Jiang Chen rushed in, his head covered in sweat, his heart beating fast.
Queen Wang frowned and said, "Speak slowly."
Jiang Chen leaned over to Queen Wang's ear and said, "The Emperor went to Funing Palace."
He was terrified when he heard the news. Oh, this might be life-threatening.
Queen Wang stood up suddenly, staring at Jiang Chen and asked, "You said the emperor went to Funing Palace?"
Jiang Chen nodded vigorously, his hands shaking a little. If the emperor accidentally used that plate of cakes, then, then...
Queen Wang sat down again. "No chaos now, no chaos. Xiao Hanyi doesn't like purple sweet potatoes. What if he accidentally eats them?" The light in her eyes grew colder and colder. "If Xiao Hanyi died, that would be fine!"
Let the eldest prince ascend the throne, it is legitimate!
"If anything happens, take my badge and go to the Ministry of Punishment to release Commander Xue," Queen Wang ordered.
At this time, don't worry about anything beyond your authority.
Jiang Chen nodded. He understood that the Queen had made the worst plan. Queen Wang had saved their entire family's lives. For Queen Wang, he would be willing to die.
The three of them had just calmed down when the person sent by Xiao Hanyi arrived and said, "Empress, the Emperor invites you to go to Funing Palace."
kindness?
Queen Wang's face changed into her usual noble expression. "What did the emperor say?"
"Her Majesty, the Emperor didn't say what it was about. He just asked Her Majesty to go there now. I don't know anything else," the young eunuch said without further ado.
Those who work for Xiao Hanyi are tight-lipped, and Queen Wang knows that.
"I'll go after changing my clothes," said Queen Wang.
It seems that the worst situation did not happen, but what would be the purpose of letting her go there now?
......
Soon, the Funing Hall was crowded with people.
"I called you here today because of a small matter," Xiao Hanyi said slowly, "Just now, Madam Wei died after eating a piece of cake at Concubine Guo's place."
What?
The concubines all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Your Majesty, died after eating a piece of cake? What does that mean?" asked Concubine Heng.
She asked what everyone was thinking, which was that someone had poisoned Concubine Guo's pastries?
Xiao Hanyi glanced at them coldly and said, "Someone poisoned Concubine Guo's pastries. It was extremely poisonous. I almost ate it just now."
beep!
"emperor"
"emperor"
They all acted as if they were scared. Some of those with acting talent had tears in their eyes, and some were really scared.
[The women in the harem are the best at acting. Life is a stage everywhere. It all depends on how good your acting skills are.]
Xiao Jiayun knew that the people in the harem had different thoughts and few of them were sincere to Xiao Hanyi. Even if there were some who were sincere, they would be worn away by him.
Queen Wang and Nanny Liu looked at each other. Nanny Liu shook her head, indicating that Queen Wang was fine. Yes, no matter how they checked, they would not be found to have the responsibility for this plate of pastries.
The yard was filled with kneeling eunuchs and palace maids.
Xiao Hanyi ignored his concubines and continued, "Come on, let's go and try it together."
After saying this, he strode out of the bedroom and into the courtyard. His guards were lined up in two rows, and the eunuchs had already set up a row of chairs.
Xiao Hanyi asked everyone to sit down and treat those who were not important as just a show. However, Queen Wang felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't know how Xiao Hanyi would interrogate them.
"Whose hands have gone through in making this pastry, starting from the ingredients? Please stand up," Xiao Hanyi said with a sullen face and a cold voice.
Two palace maids, a nanny, and two young eunuchs came forward trembling.
Xiao Hanyi casually pointed at the nanny and said, "Let's start with you." He paused and then asked, "Go ahead."
Although it seemed like a casual pointing, he had already asked the secret guards to investigate. This nanny was the queen's person, and she had contacted Liu Ma, who was beside Queen Wang, several times in the past two days.
The nanny's surname was Sun, and she did accept money from Nanny Liu, but she had no choice. Her son gambled and owed so much money. If he didn't pay it back, people would chop off her son's hands and cripple him!
She understood that now that the truth had been revealed, she could no longer protect herself, and Nanny Liu could not blame her either. Firstly, she had no evidence, and secondly, Queen Wang would not spare her family.
Nanny Sun kowtowed and said, "I don't know, I don't know, Your Majesty is well aware."
"Someone, take off her clothes," Xiao Hanyi didn't want to listen to her nonsense.
What is this operation?
[Tyrant Daddy, you're awesome! You can even judge a case like this!]
After hearing this, the guards stepped forward and grabbed Madam Liu, while the other two cut her open with a knife and then tore her hair off. Madam Liu screamed in horror, "Your Majesty, please spare me. Your Majesty, please spare me. Your Majesty, please spare me."
Soon, only her undergarment was left from her top. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. The guards were all in the imperial service, and her resistance seemed insignificant.
Queen Wang felt nervous. She was not afraid of what Nanny Sun said, but she felt that everything that happened today was suspicious. Xiao Hanyi could investigate, but why did he have to call them all here? What was he trying to do?
