The Queen did not delay and asked Concubine Li to take good care of Baozhu and went to the Yangxin Palace.
The emperor had not rested at all. He was discussing with the crown prince and the second prince to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Wan Zhong's bribes...
Upon hearing that the Queen was coming, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince did not ask to leave, but sat down with her.
The Queen gave Jun Baozhu the information she had gathered about the Gu worms and the methods they used to control people...
He told the emperor, the crown prince and the second prince one by one.
There were huge waves in the emperor's eyes.
"Anything else?"
The emperor tried to restrain himself and remain calm.
After careful consideration and considering the seriousness of the matter, the Queen recounted one by one what Nanny Gui had done and the situation of the palace maids currently under control in Kunning Palace.
In connection with the actions of a palace maid before her death and the Queen's account, the transmission route of the Gu worm...
Considering this maid's contact with Nanny Gui, the Queen couldn't guess...
"Mother!"
"My queen!"
Two voices were heard at the same time, and the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's faces were filled with concern.
The emperor stared at the queen with sharp eyes, trying to see if she was being plotted against by Nanny Gui...
He also understood in his heart that the Queen did not file a complaint, and even protested for herself, because she was considerate of her own feelings and those of the Queen Mother.
The queen smiled faintly and nodded to the crown prince and the second prince, signaling them not to worry.
"I, Concubine Li, and Baozhu are all fine, don't worry!"
The emperor could not figure out how the gu worm spread and how the queen knew such secret information...
They must have experienced it and learned it through their daughters’ inner voices.
In this way, it is not difficult to guess what Nanny Gui's purpose was in contacting the palace maid in charge of meals in Kunning Palace.
Thinking of the Queen, Concubine Li and Baozhu, who were almost killed, and who might have suffered the same pain as the dead palace maids and Wanzhong, with blood flowing from all seven orifices...
At this moment, the emperor wished only to cut the culprit into pieces!
And the Queen Mother...
After his breath was calmed down, the emperor realized that the purpose of the queen's visit was not only to tell her more about the poisonous insects...
It is also a subtle reminder of the connection between the Queen Mother and the source of the poisonous insect.
Nanny Gui could manipulate the palace maids and even secretly cast a spell on Wanzhong, but she could never control Wanzhong and commit such a capital crime...
Without the Queen Mother's protection, indulgence, or even instructions, Wan Chong simply couldn't do it!
Therefore, if Wanzhong’s death had not been ordered by the Queen Mother, it would have been impossible for it to happen.
No matter what the relationship between the Queen Mother and Nanny Gui was, at least this one incident proved that the two were one and the same, and it was impossible for the Queen Mother to be unaware of it.
Therefore, the Queen Mother was also aware of the plan to frame the Queen, Concubine Li, and Jun Baozhu.
The emperor's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
It was also the first time that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince saw such a lonely and sad expression on their father's face.
Betrayed by their closest relatives, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince even felt that their father looked a little pitiful at this moment.
After a long while, the emperor made up his mind, "I understand what the queen means.
During this period, the Queen endured all of this and also protected other people in the palace and Baozhu.
What Baozhu said today was like a blow to the head!
After retiring from court, I felt extremely guilty.
Although I am the emperor, I also make mistakes. Today, I learned the most valuable lesson from Baozhu's voice.
In the past, I was conceited and thought I could control everything, including the risks.
But Baozhu was careless, and revealed a borer, and found a shocking hole...
Only then did I realize how ridiculous my self-confidence was!
In the past, it’s not that the Queen didn’t remind me implicitly, and it’s not that my ministers didn’t remind me, but what did they get?
Baozhu is right. I also have some responsibility for Dafeng's life till now.
But I will no longer be blinded by one thing!"
Although it was a statement of attitude, the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince understood that this was also the Emperor apologizing to them for the past.
"Your Majesty, what are your plans for taking over next? I am worried..."
"Are you worried that other people in the court, like Wanzhong, will be...planted with poisonous insects?"
The emperor's eyes were extremely determined.
"Just right! We will remove the cancer completely at once!"
