"In order to save his life, he refused to confess even after being tortured. But he still died.
The way of death... I'm sure you've heard about it. There have been several cases in the palace where people died with blood coming out of all their orifices.
So yesterday, I arranged for everyone in the palace, including the palace maids, to be examined by the imperial physician to see if they had been poisoned..."
There was such a big scene in the palace yesterday, how could the court officials not know about it?
After much speculation, there were many doubts, but after hearing what the emperor said...
As if they thought of something, many ministers' faces turned pale.
The emperor continued, saying that after checking all night, it had been determined that two people had been poisoned and another twenty people were suspected of being poisoned.
The medicinal powder used by the spies could not be detected by the skilled eunuchs in the imperial kitchen. It only needed to be added to food, or mixed into tea or medicine to temporarily prevent the onset of the disease.
Once the secret is triggered, the poisoned person will die immediately.
Bleeding from all seven orifices, no antidote available.
The other party has been lurking for more than ten years and is now spreading rumors because they are angry, and their careful layout has been gradually dismantled.
Although the ministers had probably already believed it, the emperor knew that in order to make everyone doubt it, he had to let them see the coffin.
All the ministers were led out of the hall, where seven corpses were lying in a row. They were Nanny Gui, Nanny Qin, and the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids who were controlled by the Queen Mother with poisonous insects and died with blood coming out of all their orifices.
Eunuch Li raised his hand, and the young eunuchs untied the white cloth, revealing the head of the corpse...
"ah!"
"ah!"
......
The ministers screamed in surprise.
After the initial shock passed, I secretly looked at the seven bodies and found that they had the same symptoms, such as bleeding from the mouth and nose.
There was news of death in the palace, and even the number of people matched...
The ministers no longer had any doubts.
The body was carried away, the scene was cleaned up and fumigated with mugwort.
A guard came forward with a chicken that had been cut in half and showed the ministers the chicken's internal organs.
The ministers were disgusted and leaned their heads forward to see what was going on.
The second prince came forward and said that Nanny Qin had instigated the queen several times and forced her to eat the cakes given by the queen mother...
At that time, the spy activities had been suspected and the Cining Palace had been protected.
Nanny Qin's instigating attitude made the Queen suspicious, so she pretended to eat the cakes and came back to feed the live chicken in the kitchen.
After a few days, the chicken's internal organs became what they are now.
Although the chicken's internal organs are small, the densely packed holes on them are also shocking.
The second prince introduced that this was direct evidence for the guards to capture Nanny Qin.
It's just a pity that Xi used the trick of escaping from the shell and let the real Nanny Qin take the blame.
"So, the spy was stirring up trouble outside, hated the queen, saw through her identity, and framed the queen?"
"It's really outrageous. A small spy actually set fire and killed people, almost endangering the emperor and the empress, and dared to do evil outside the palace!"
"What do you mean just one person? Judging from this rumor, the Cining Palace exploded and flooded yesterday, and we didn't know the details, so why did it spread so quickly?
It must be intentional! He deliberately dragged the Queen into this situation so that the Emperor would have to punish him and deal with the gossips! "
"How can the Queen of our Great Phoenix Dynasty allow spies from other countries to do this?"
......
The ministers were filled with indignation, and the situation on the scene turned around in an instant.
The emperor summoned the imperial physicians to examine the ministers one by one on the spot.
Some ministers were afraid, some didn't take it seriously, and felt that they had nothing in common with the Queen Mother...
But thinking about what the Second Prince had just said, as long as they included food and tea, they had all participated in the palace banquet, and more than half of the eunuchs and palace maids who died worked in the imperial kitchen and the imperial pharmacy...
All the ministers dared not be careless.
During the inspection, there were still two imperial doctors in a group. Xu Min and Zhang Qingping's followers had already been restricted and detained in the mansion.
So, after half a day of examination, there were only five suspected patients.
The imperial doctors were unable to come to a conclusion and the five officials immediately fainted from fright.
The emperor handed the matter over to Jingzhao Yin and the second prince for clarification.
The imperial guards, under the charge of the Second Prince, prevented large-scale gatherings and the spread of rumors in the capital.
Jun Baozhu had just woken up from her nap when she heard the system’s latest news about the situation.
[Humph! You want to ruin my mother's reputation by spreading rumors? You're just dreaming!]
[You never thought of that! Father announced that the Queen Mother had suffered hair and skin injuries in the fire and explosion, and is currently recuperating. She will not attend any court meetings or palace banquets in the future! ]
[He wanted to dethrone his mother, and then pretend to turn against his father one day and compete with him...]
[Now, even her identity has been denied! There is no chance for her to impersonate again! ]
[Originally, Nanny Qin, as a servant, had been lurking for more than ten years, had her hands on so many lives, and used such vicious and despicable means...]
[A smart person would naturally have some doubts about the Queen Mother...]
[Originally, loyal ministers had long complained about the Queen Mother's manipulation of the court and interference in the arrangements of officials, but they did not dare to speak out...]
[From now on, if someone pretends to be the Queen Mother again, there is no need to report it to my father, a group of officials will stand up and scold her! ]
