After a while, Nan Shaotian finally found his voice and asked coldly, "What's going on? Tell the truth." With the last sentence, the pressure of a superior came towards the two of them.
Jin Chai and Jin Zhuo no longer dared to hide anything and told the truth.
"A month ago, the Empress began coughing up blood. The imperial physician examined her and said that her health had long been deteriorating. If she was properly nursed back to health, she would definitely recover. However, after the last poisoning, the Empress's health was completely ruined."
"Poisoned? When?"
"The last time Her Majesty was stabbed, we found out that the poison was in the medicine. But the toxin is very mild and cannot be seen at all on a normal day. It will only cause illness when it accumulates to a certain level. A month ago was when Her Majesty fell ill. Her Majesty kept it a secret from everyone until I accidentally saw it and found out about it." Jin Zhuo's voice was already filled with tears at the end.
"The imperial physician said that Your Majesty can only live for two more months at most."
Nan Shaotian couldn't help but take several steps back, and the color on his face faded away.
How is this possible, how is this possible!
He didn't believe it, didn't believe all this was true.
At this moment, the person lying on the bed woke up faintly. She sat up and looked at the people in the room, "Shao Tian, you're here."
When Nan Shaotian heard her voice and looked at her pale face, his heart ached.
Since she didn't want him to know, he would pretend to know nothing.
Nan Shaotian suppressed all the pain and walked to her side with a smile, "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Bei Yutang smiled sweetly, "No. I've slept long enough. Now I just want to be with you."
"Okay." Nan Shaotian pulled out a smile, but that smile was so bitter.
Imperial Study
Nan Shaotian looked at all the things about Bei Yutang placed on the table. After reading it, he finally understood what she had been through.
Poisoning, framing, and putting someone else in the wrong place...it turns out that so many people have dealt with her, and she has gradually learned how to protect herself and fight back from someone who knew nothing.
Among the people who were dealing with her, he actually saw an unexpected name - Xia Yuwei.
She knew clearly that Bei Yutang was not a threat to her, so why did she attack him from behind?
What a great woman who is indifferent to fame and fortune and lives in peace with the world.
Nan Shaotian showed a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Everything she went through was caused by him.
Nan Shaotian fell into endless self-blame. He regretted his stupidity and everything he had done to her before.
He will never let the person who poisoned him this time go.
Nan Shaotian looked at the two people on the list, Concubine Xian, Xia, and Concubine Liu... He would not let any of them go.
Soon, the entire family of Concubine Xian was executed. Concubine Xian wanted to ask the emperor for mercy, but the emperor refused to see her. She had no choice but to ask Bei Yutang for help.
Bei Yutang looked at the virtuous concubine who was kneeling on the ground crying, her eyes cold.
"Xianfei, raise your head."
Xianfei raised her head and looked at her. Her face was pale, an abnormal paleness. Looking at those eyes, they were no longer the ones she knew before.
"I'm asking you, am I treating you well? I want to hear the truth." Bei Yutang asked lightly.
"Your Majesty is naturally the best to me." Concubine Xian replied without thinking.
"Then why did you poison me?"
The virtuous concubine's pupils suddenly dilated and she looked at her in disbelief.
