"People who are poisoned by this kind of poison will often experience a toxic reaction within six months, and when they eventually die, they will be emaciated. Furthermore, it will be difficult for doctors to detect that they were poisoned, and they will simply be thought to have died of starvation. It's a form of killing that is invisible."
Mianmian explained it very clearly.
"So, could it be that Zhao Zhi wanted to kill Shuang Bao in this way and then frame me?"
The Fifth Prince quickly sorted everything out, "Half a year is long enough.
“If Shuangbao dies from the poison, even if the emperor finds out that I got this flower from Zhao Zhi, he won’t think it was Zhao Zhi who poisoned her, because Zhao Zhi won’t have any contact with Shuangbao in the past six months. Instead, I will be by Shuangbao’s side from time to time.
"And considering how much my father loves Shuangbao, he will definitely kill me to avenge Shuangbao...
"What a great Zhao Zhi!
"What a good trick to kill with a borrowed knife!
"This prince should have ordered his men to beat him to death yesterday!"
The Fifth Prince was very angry when he thought that Zhao Zhien was ungrateful and was not hesitant to use Xiao Shuangbao's death to harm himself.
Even though he knew that this was all speculation, it would never happen.
But as soon as he thought of this possibility, he wanted to rush to Cuiwei Palace and kill Zhao Zhi right now!
"Could a eunuch like Zhao Zhi, who has a humble status and simple background, possess this kind of poison?"
However, at this time, Xiao Shuangbao said very calmly.
"Frost treasure, what do you mean?"
The fifth prince frowned slightly and continued to think, "Princess Lin?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Shuangbao nodded, "Do you remember the Cuiwei Palace where Concubine Lin lived? A few years ago, Concubine Lin didn't live there alone. There was also a Concubine Zhaoyi?
“Shuangbao has been asking the ghosts wandering around the palace these days.
"That was Chen Zhaoyi. She was notorious among the ghosts in the palace. They said she was extremely hateful and vicious in her lifetime. Later, for some unknown reason, she couldn't eat and eventually starved to death.
"And before she died, the person she loved to torture the most was Concubine Lin."
The fifth prince listened and nodded.
"So you mean that Concubine Lin instructed Zhao Zhi to do all this?"
"That's how it should be."
Xiao Shuangbao looked at the poison in Mianmian's hand. His soft, fair face was very calm, revealing a compassion and ruthlessness that was inconsistent with his age. "No matter who it is, we already have a reason to kill Zhao Zhi.
"He attempted to kill this princess. Father will never forgive him!"
After saying that, Xiao Shuangbao asked Mianmian to go with the fifth prince to find Emperor Chengxuan.
At this time, Emperor Chengxuan seemed to be reviewing memorials carefully.
But in fact, he was always anxious in his heart.
Why hasn’t Shuangbao come to see him yet?
It has been so many days, and he has already asked the secret guards to find out that he was cuckolded by Concubine Lin.
Why doesn't Xiao Shuangbao take action to deal with Concubine Lin and avenge him?
As for the fact that Xiao Shuangbao had deliberately concealed the secret from him and refused to tell him about this matter, Emperor Cheng Xuan had already forgiven her long ago and persuaded himself to think it through.
It's embarrassing to tell others about this kind of thing.
As a dignified emperor, he was actually cuckolded by a little concubine Lin.
If this gets out, where will his face be?
Xiao Shuangbao was reluctant to speak, but that was of course for his own sake, as he didn't want to hurt his pride. It was understandable, understandable...
At this moment, Emperor Chengxuan was busy writing his comments on the memorial when the childish voice he had been waiting for finally rang out in the hall: "Daddy, someone wants to harm Shuangbao!"
"What? Who dares to harm my little darling!"
When Emperor Chengxuan heard this, he immediately raised his head.
Seeing Xiao Shuangbao, the Fifth Prince, and Mianmian appear together, he even felt a little excited in his heart.
The long-awaited punishment for Concubine Lin is finally coming!
"Shuangbao, what's going on? Who wants to hurt you? Tell daddy now! Daddy will kill her right now!"
Emperor Chengxuan expressed it earnestly.
"Daddy, it's Concubine Lin!"
Little Shuangbao said it directly, not knowing that her poor father, who she thought was still kept in the dark, actually knew everything.
She said indignantly in her baby voice, "I don't know how Shuangbao offended her. She actually ordered her subordinate Zhao Zhi to poison Shuangbao and wanted to kill him!"
As she said that, she asked Mianmian to come forward.
"Daddy, look! This is the poison in the flowerpot that Zhao Zhi gave to the Fifth Prince. Zhao Zhi knew that the flower was meant for Shuang Bao, but he still hid poison in it! He's just a eunuch with no connections, how could he get this poison? He must have been instructed by Concubine Lin!"
Little Shuangbao complained very skillfully, "Also, Shuangbao happened to hear these days that there was once a Chen Zhaoyi in Cuiwei Palace where Concubine Lin lived. The symptoms she suffered when she died were the same as those of this poison outbreak!
"Shuang Bao seriously suspects that this Linpin not only wants to kill Shuang Bao, but is also the culprit who murdered Chen Zhaoyi!"
As she said this, she asked Mianmian to show Emperor Chengxuan this poison.
Mianmian also explained again the toxicity of the poison and so on.
Emperor Chengxuan was quite surprised when he heard about Chen Zhaoyi's death.
He had no impression of Lin Bin before.
But he was much more impressed by Chen Zhaoyi.
Chen Zhaoyi's father was once the Minister of War. Chen Zhaoyi was very favored at home. After entering the palace, she relied on her father's power and was very arrogant and domineering.
Originally, he wanted to use Chen Zhaoyi to find out what was wrong with his father.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhaoyi suddenly fell ill and died.
The imperial physician did not find that Chen Zhaoyi was poisoned, but said that Chen Zhaoyi deliberately refused to eat because she was overly pursuing a slender and thin figure as a woman, and as a result, she accidentally starved to death.
But it turns out that this was actually the work of Concubine Lin?
"Since the evidence is so conclusive, then Daddy will naturally stand up for Shuangbao."
Emperor Chengxuan said.
He ordered the secret guards to go to Cuiwei Palace and keep an eye on Concubine Lin first.
Afterwards, he sent someone to bring Zhao Zhi over.
Zhao Zhi thought that Xiao Shuangbao heard that he had sent the flowers and wanted to give him money as a reward.
But who knew that as soon as he arrived, he saw Emperor Cheng Xuan staring at him with a gloomy face.
The little palace maid Mianmian beside Xiao Shuangbao was clearly holding a piece of poison in her hand. The poison was buried in the camellia pot by him.
Zhao Zhi's legs suddenly went weak!
He never imagined that the plan he followed from Concubine Lin would fail before it even started to be implemented!
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Little Princess, please spare me! It was Concubine Lin who ordered me to do this!"
Zhao Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, "I have persuaded Concubine Lin, saying that the little princess saved my life, and I don't want to harm the little princess!
"But Concubine Lin threatened the lives of my entire family and insisted that I kill the little princess!
"I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me!
"The slave is innocent!"
