Mi Shan's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Is that so? Then open it and take a look."
Sure enough, there was a packet of yellow powder.
Please have someone from the Imperial Medical Academy come and perform the tests.
Guo Yuanshi, full of confidence, stepped forward first.
Unexpectedly, after taking a sniff, his expression changed.
"How is it?" the emperor pressed. "Is it poison?"
“This…” Guo Yuanshi dared not answer.
"Stop stammering! I'll let you speak!"
Qiao Yunsheng couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward, snatched the powder, dipped his little finger in it, tasted a small amount, and smiled with delight.
"Your Majesty! This is not poison powder at all, it's just ordinary rouge that women use!"
"Haha... I knew it! My Shan'er would never do such a thing!"
Li Shengyuan laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
Now it was the Empress's turn to be stunned.
The young maid was utterly dumbfounded: "Empress...it wasn't me, I've already..."
"Guards! How dare this daring servant frame Consort Mi Hui! Drag her away and beat her to death immediately!"
Empress Rouci, fearing she might let something slip, shouted sternly.
"etc--"
Mi Shan spoke coldly, stopping the guard's movements.
"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry to punish this servant? Are you perhaps afraid that what you have done will be exposed?"
"What a joke! What am I afraid of? I'm just doing my duty."
"Really? Then why are you targeting me again and again?"
Mi Shan spoke coldly, his face grim, and suddenly turned to look at Guo Yuanshi.
"He, and this little maid, weren't they all people you arranged?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Yuanshi was greatly alarmed and immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
"If you are innocent, why can't you see that Consort Qin has been poisoned!"
"If you are innocent, how could you not taste the rouge and powder just now? Why are you so reluctant to tell the truth!"
"Either you harbor ulterior motives and want to kill me, or your medical skills are incompetent! You are not fit to be the head of the Imperial Medical Academy! You should abdicate and give way to a more worthy person!"
After speaking, Mi Shan coldly looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you think is the best course of action?"
"You bastard, Guo Youde! I trusted you so much, and you actually..."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! My skills are lacking and I have regressed, but I absolutely did not intentionally favor anyone! This matter is entirely my fault."
Your humble servant wishes to abdicate and retire to my hometown, beseeching Your Majesty's gracious permission!
With tears in his eyes and a hoarse voice, Guo Yuanshi removed his official hat and kowtowed repeatedly.
Considering his advanced age, and that they couldn't find any evidence of his collusion with the Empress.
Li Shengyuan clearly wanted to avoid trouble, so he coldly gave the order.
"Guo Youdha shall be taken away, flogged fifty times, stripped of his official position, and demoted to a commoner!"
He shall never be allowed to enter the capital!
After speaking, he turned and looked at Qiao Yunsheng with admiration.
"Minister Qiao, from now on, the position of Director of the Imperial Medical Academy will be handed over to you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qiao Yunsheng immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
Mi Shan felt a little better.
Shen Rouci
As the Empress, you are meticulous in everything you do.
I can't touch you.
Then I'll cut off one of your arms first.
