Bei Yutang first looked for the cause among the female members of the family present at the scene. Whether they were concubines in the harem, noble ladies, or little palace maids, each of them cooperated very well with her investigation even though they were unwilling in their hearts.
Half an incense stick later, Bei Yutang said to Emperor Wu of Zhou, "Your Majesty, they are all fine."
Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the ministers, guards, and eunuchs and said, "Continue the investigation."
The women were safe, but the men became worried, fearing that misfortune would befall them.
Bei Yutang stood in front of them one by one, sniffing carefully, as if smelling something.
When he walked up to Hua Feiyu, Hua Feiyu's face twisted slightly and she stared at her with cold eyes.
At this moment, Hua Feiyu felt a little nervous, as if he was worried that she would bite randomly.
Even if he couldn't find any evidence, it would make his father suspicious and it would be difficult for him to ascend the throne again.
Bei Yutang noticed his tense nerves. Even though he tried hard to remain calm, she could still see the worry in his heart from the subtle expressions on his face.
She wanted to do so, but he was not qualified yet.
It wasn't worth her making such careful arrangements for him.
Bei Yutang walked past him, and Hua Feiyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Prince Yu on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't leave any handle.
Soon Bei Yutang walked in front of Prince Yu. Prince Yu stared at her with cold eyes, and his eyes showed no disguising his hatred for Bei Yutang.
A faint sneer appeared on Bei Yutang's lips.
She quickly walked past Prince Yu and then walked in front of all her male compatriots.
King Wu of Zhou frowned and asked, "No?"
Bei Yutang hesitated for two seconds and said solemnly, "Yes."
King Wu of Zhou's eyes lit up, and the hearts of his male compatriots were all lifted high.
"Who is it?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"There are two people." Bei Yutang's eyes swept over those people. Everyone who was stared at by Bei Yutang couldn't help but have their hair stand on end, fearing that she would say their name.
"Which two?" the Queen asked.
"Him and him." Bei Yutang pointed at the person standing at the front of the crowd and the person among the entourage standing at the back.
Everyone's eyes turned to the two people.
The two people pointed at by Bei Yutang were both shocked, their eyes wide open.
Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Prince Yu with a cold gaze, "Prince Yu, you are so brave."
Prince Yu was horrified and looked at Bei Yutang with a glaring look, as if he wanted to eat her alive. "You are slandering me."
After he finished speaking, he looked anxiously at Emperor Wu of Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, you must believe me. I did not poison you. I was wrongly accused."
A minister who was on good terms with Prince Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the woman's words alone are not credible."
Emperor Wu of Zhou recovered from his rage and looked at Bei Yutang, "You can prove it with evidence."
"Of course."
Everyone watched how she proved it.
"People who have eaten pea cakes will smell the orange-white fragrance, and over time, it will naturally produce the most red flowers. Among all people, only Prince Yu and his guards have the orange-white fragrance."
"This may be a coincidence." A minister excused Prince Yu.
Bei Yutang shook her head. "Jubai isn't a spice. While it has a slight fragrance, it's not suitable for long-term wear. You might want to ask Imperial Physician Zhang about this."
