After a cup of tea, Shi Wei finally took the hair out of the teacup.
It was visible to the naked eye that the hair had turned purple.
And after being exposed to the wind, it quickly turned into ashes and scattered on the ground.
Even someone as calm and prepared as Zhao Yuanzhen was shocked by this scene. Soon, he was filled with anger, hesitation, and despair...
All the negative emotions were spreading in his heart.
The Queen Mother did not expect that Shi Wei could actually identify the poison. The Queen Mother's eyes went dark and she almost fell down.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "This poison is indeed very toxic. Most people would die without even noticing, let alone guessing that it was you, the Queen Mother, who poisoned it. Even if my father suddenly died, they would just think he was in poor health."
"But unfortunately, you met this princess."
When Shi Wei came, she was well prepared. If it was the Queen Mother who poisoned her, she would expose it directly to her.
She must have been anxious during this period, so the amount of medicine she gave Zhao Yuanzhen was much more than usual.
If she hadn't exposed it earlier, Zhao Yuanzhen would have died suddenly within half a month, and Xiao Shimo, the only heir to the throne with the right of inheritance, would definitely not survive for more than a few days.
For Xiaoshimo's sake, Shi Wei had to find the Queen Mother.
"No! This bastard must have wronged me!"
The evidence was conclusive, but the empress dowager still tried to argue. After all, murdering the emperor was a heinous crime, and even as the empress dowager, she would not be able to escape punishment.
The Queen Mother naturally denied it. She was betting that the imperial doctors would not be able to find out what was wrong.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Then just summon the imperial physician!"
To be on the safe side, Zhao Yuanzhen immediately sent someone to invite all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The imperial physicians took turns examining the patient for a long time, each with an extremely solemn expression.
After all, this concerns the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Both of them were people who could make the sky fall if they stomped their feet. Everyone present was trembling with fear, as if a huge stone was hanging in their hearts.
Only Shi Wei acted as if nothing had happened. She sat aside, swinging her legs and cracking melon seeds, looking as relaxed as if she was on a spring outing.
Zhao Yuanzhen looked pale and weak, and he didn't know what kind of result he should expect.
Although the Queen Mother tried hard to keep her composure, her forehead was still covered with cold sweat, and she stood aside with shaking hands.
Shi Wei smiled when she saw her like this. The Queen Mother was betting that the imperial physician couldn't find out the cause!
But she will be disappointed. After all, she put in too much this time. The poison will show up once it comes into contact with human hair.
An hour later, the imperial doctors finally confirmed the diagnosis.
He knelt tremblingly and told the poison he had found.
Zhao Yuanzhen was mentally prepared this time and his expression was relatively calm.
The Queen Mother's eyes went dark and she fainted.
Shi Wei stood up and walked out directly. Since the source of the poison had been found out, she could leave the rest of the trial to her cheap father!
As the male protagonist, Zhao Yuanzhen is not worthy of being the male protagonist if he cannot find this out, not to mention that he has the help of the way of heaven and the halo.
No problem at all.
Within an hour, the news of the Empress Dowager's attempt to murder the Emperor spread.
Everyone in the palace was terrified.
Three days later.
The Criminal Court quickly investigated everything.
It turned out that Zhao Yuanzhen was not her biological son, but the son of her then-enemy Concubine Shu.
The Empress Dowager and the then Consort Shu gave birth at the same time. The late Emperor decreed that whoever gave birth to a prince first would be the Empress.
