Chapter 377 Perhaps he has a way to escape the throne?
And just then, the young emperor, who had just come out of the door, bumped into them.
"Oh my god!" Di Qingyan exclaimed, "Oh no, has Ninth Imperial Aunt gone into facial paralysis?"
Xiao Tang: "..."
You're the one with facial paralysis! Your whole family has facial paralysis!
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, should we help Ninth Imperial Aunt to rest for a while?" The young emperor was glared at by Xiao Tang, which made him even more certain of his guess.
He happened to see a minister at the Imperial Hospital today who came to be treated for facial paralysis.
He was very curious and stood there staring for a long time.
Now, he was eager to try.
Di Jingling also looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly, "Tangtang?"
Xiao Tang suddenly let go of his hand and rushed into the hall.
The poison came from the food on the table!
Ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, she overturned all the plates on the two tables in front of her.
Bang!
The sudden sound caused the Empress Dowager and the young emperor to change their expressions drastically.
The little emperor clutched his head and cried out, "Ninth Imperial Uncle, quick, come quick! Ninth Imperial Aunt has gone mad!"
The Empress Dowager's face darkened further.
Xiao Tang, after overturning the table full of dishes, actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that her actions were somewhat excessive and would surely enrage the Empress Dowager, she... was not afraid!
Her family's Emperor Jingling is still alive.
Even if the Empress Dowager was furious, she had to grit her teeth and swallow her blood!
The Empress Dowager was indeed furious, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at the leftover food on the ground. Finally, she could no longer contain herself and roared, "Xiao Tang! How dare you! Do you know how many people still can't even get enough to eat!"
It's not just snowing.
With the recent continuous snowfall, those in poor conditions are likely to freeze to death.
Xiao Tang is quite something...
Xiao Tang seemed startled and darted into Di Jingling's arms like a rabbit, burying her face in his chest.
"Waaaaah, my husband, the Empress Dowager scared me!"
The Empress Dowager was so angry she was practically fuming, and for a moment she didn't know what to say, "You, me, him..."
This ability to turn the tables left her speechless.
Xiao Tang nestled in Di Jingling's arms, weakly raising her head.
[Big villain, hurry up and cooperate with my acting!]
You have no idea how poisonous that food was! After eating it, we'd probably come in upright and leave lying down!
She never expected that the Empress Dowager would be so ruthless.
They're so blatantly trying to poison them.
Anyone with a modicum of sense should know that they should be patient and wait for the best opportunity.
But she's great!
Oh!
Di Jingling heard Xiao Tang's thoughts clearly.
His expression turned somber, and he suddenly raised his eyes to glare at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager intended to add fuel to the fire and reprimand him further, but when she noticed Emperor Jingling's gaze falling upon her, she was so frightened that she shrank back.
"Regent, what do you mean by this? Are you going to challenge me in order to protect your queen?"
"Did the Empress Dowager invite us to dine here, or did she come to poison us?" Di Jingling asked.
It was originally just something that left everyone wondering.
Little did they expect that Di Jingling would suddenly point it out.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied.
The young emperor exclaimed, "No, no, Ninth Imperial Uncle, you must have misunderstood Mother!"
The Empress Dowager's face also turned pale. "Yes, yes. The Regent is far too easily frightened. How could I possibly poison you? You are the pillar of the Great Sheng Kingdom."
She did indeed poison him.
She couldn't wait any longer.
Recently, Emperor Jingling has been reluctant to issue an order to deal with the aftermath of the avalanche disaster, and has instead sent several ministers who are close to her to help the people.
This made the Empress Dowager suspect that the Regent Prince might kill her next.
If that's the case, she'll have to strike first.
Di Jingling sneered, "Then why don't we have the imperial physician verify whether there's any poison on the ground?"
The young emperor's face turned deathly pale.
The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Jingling in disbelief.
What a magnificent imperial plumage!
Is he trying to challenge me and break off all ties with me?
The Empress Dowager, realizing this, was trembling with anger.
No, or rather, she was a little scared.
"What do you mean? You don't trust me? I won't..."
"Waaah!" Xiao Tang interrupted the Empress Dowager's voice, wailing, "Husband, I don't want to be here anymore, waaah, it's so scary here."
Di Jingling lowered his eyes.
Looking at the woman in his arms, who was crying but had no tears left.
What are you waiting for me to do!
Let's go home!
It's simply not worth arguing with a woman like the Empress Dowager, who's all talk and no action!
The man's lips curled into a smile.
He suddenly realized that she was right.
It's definitely not worth wasting time with the Empress Dowager.
Why don't we go back and have a good discussion with Xiao Tang about having a few monkeys?
He ignored the Empress Dowager and carried Xiao Tang away.
They didn't even say hello.
The young emperor called out a few times from behind, but received no response.
The Empress Dowager recovered from her shock and slumped heavily into her chair.
She patted her chest.
The situation just now was indeed very dangerous; she was almost afraid that she would die there.
If Di Jingling really wanted to kill her, there was no need for hesitation; he could take her life without a second thought.
Even so, she still wanted to take a gamble.
He was gambling on the late emperor's instructions to him.
The young emperor ran up to her and angrily questioned, "Mother, why did you poison me?"
Although he didn't believe it when Ninth Prince said it, he already had the answer in his heart.
His questioning of his mother stemmed from his fear and apprehension.
