Shen Lianqiao immediately panicked.
"It was I! It was I who ordered Bilian to push Consort Tao into the lotus pond and drown her!"
Ye Mu nearly lost his balance upon hearing this!
"Mother, you, you, you really killed my mother?! Why did you do this?!"
"As the mother of the eldest prince, I cannot fail to seek a way out for him. The position of crown prince cannot be taken away by others! The position of empress dowager cannot be taken away by other women in the harem!"
"Then why don't you just kill me?!" Ye Mu retorted.
What if I said that I found you innocent and adorable, and couldn't bear to do it?
[Oh my god! Do you even believe what you're saying?!]
The Empress Dowager spoke.
"The truth is that you used poisonous mushroom powder to destroy Mu'er's mind."
Shen Lianqiao was startled!
How did the Empress Dowager find out?
[Wow! Grandmother is truly the champion of palace intrigue from last year! She actually uncovered this conspiracy! I'm cheering for Grandmother! Grandmother is a truly formidable old hunter! No matter how cunning the fox, it can't escape Grandmother's eyes!]
The Empress Dowager looked exasperated.
My dear granddaughter, your royal grandmother still hasn't found out the truth. If you hadn't exposed it, your royal grandmother would be far from the truth!
Ruoqiu walked in carrying a plate.
On the plate.
It's a black mushroom.
Physician Chang immediately took it, examined it, and smelled it.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed a poisonous mushroom. Long-term consumption can make people stupid and addicted to it."
The Empress Dowager frowned.
"No wonder Mu'er didn't have a good appetite when she stayed at my place for a few days last time. I originally thought it was because the imperial kitchen's cooking didn't suit Mu'er's taste, but I never imagined it was for this reason! Shen Lianqiao, you are truly heartless! How long have you been feeding Mu'er poisonous mushrooms?!"
Shen Lianqiao was so frightened that she dared not answer!
Ye Ling went straight up and kicked out!
Shen Lianqiao was kicked to the ground!
Trembling, he got up and knelt on the ground, saying in fear.
"I've been eating it for five years now."
"Five years! You actually poisoned my grandson for five years!" The Empress Dowager trembled with rage.
"Guards! Drag this vile woman out and behead her!"
"Mother, don't worry, this vile woman's debts haven't been settled yet! Once she has confessed everything, I will give her a proper end!"
