This is a capital crime.
"If it's not you, could it be the medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy?"
Concubine Zhen stared at the three of them coldly.
"My Lady, it wasn't those three who poisoned me."
Seeing that Concubine Zhen was about to force the three to confess, Li Mu spoke up.
"If it's not these three, then who is it?"
"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be reported to His Majesty. After all, the murderer couldn't have attacked the princess without a reason. There must be someone behind this."
Li Mu reminded.
"Does this... make me seem too sentimental?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room turned pale.
Once the emperor knew the princess had been poisoned, everyone in the palace, except the nobles, would likely be demoted to menial jobs. If things went wrong, most would be imprisoned in the dungeons of the Imperial Household Department.
Whoosh!
A dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen felt a little reluctant.
These eunuchs and palace maids lived with him day and night.
"Eunuch Li, since you know who the murderer is, tell me!"
"I'll tell you what I'm saying. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, Madam."
As Li Mu spoke, he walked to the table, wrote two words and handed them to Concubine Zhen.
"impossible!"
Concubine Zhen looked unconvinced and instead cast a suspicious look at Li Mu.
"Your Majesty, I just said that whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you. The medicine I just prescribed is to be taken twice a day after meals. I will take my leave."
After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Zhen to say anything else, Li Mu turned and left.
Li Mu thought about how fierce the palace fight was.
But I didn't expect that palace fighting would be so unscrupulous.
After Li Mu left, the eunuchs and maids in Zhen Guiren's palace began to blame each other.
"I wouldn't poison you at all. I watched Her Highness the Princess grow up under my care. Besides, if I were to poison her, where would I get the poison from?"
The three palace maids and eunuchs began to defend themselves.
They were all the lowest-ranking servants in the palace.
I don’t usually have the opportunity to interact with other people.
"Then tell me who it is?"
Concubine Zhen glanced at Xiaotao while speaking.
The name Li Mu left for her was Xiaotao.
She trusts Xiaotao completely.
"Your Highness, could it be that Eunuch Li is just talking nonsense? Look, it was him who said the princess was poisoned, and it was him who said the medicine was poisonous. There was no imperial physician to prove whether the princess was poisoned. He just took one look at the medicine and said it was poisonous. He's incredible!"
The kneeling palace maid had tears streaming from her eyes and spoke in a choked voice filled with grievance.
"Yes, Your Majesty. He's just a eunuch in Shouning Palace, and he's saying so much. Is he trying to stir up internal strife in our palace and make a fool of himself?"
Xiaotao stood up immediately.
