Seeing that the assassination attempt failed, the palace maid simply picked up the wine jug on the table that was used to hold the wine and poured it into her mouth!
Her action was too unexpected.
Everyone could only watch her drink the poisonous wine.
The next moment, he fell to the ground with blood gushing out of all seven orifices...
Seeing this scene, Su Fei and Su Ruyi's faces were filled with disappointment and regret that they could not hide for a moment.
Just that little bit!
"Frost treasure! Are you hurt, Frost treasure?"
At this time, Emperor Cheng Xuan came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried over to hold Xiao Shuangbao in his arms and carefully checked whether she was injured.
Not far away.
Zhongli Yu quietly put down his hand and hid it in his sleeve. Even though he had breathed a sigh of relief, his fingers still couldn't help but tremble slightly in fear.
The official closest to him looked at the missing chopstick on his desk and gave him a look of surprise.
Zhongli Yu lowered his eyes and pretended to know nothing.
"Daddy... woooo, Daddy, Shuangbao was so scared just now!"
Little Shuangbao was so scared that tears fell from his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay, it's okay." Emperor Cheng Xuan picked her up and comforted her.
"Your Majesty, the person is dead. This wine pot is filled with a deadly poison, Crane's Beak Poison." Chen Cao said after examining the body.
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at the corpse on the ground, his handsome face filled with rage.
"How dare you assassinate the princess in public!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone present, as if trying to find clues from the expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, since she dared to assassinate us in public, even if she is not a death warrior, she is determined to die." Chen Cao said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan nodded.
"Zhou Xu, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, is here!" He immediately called out the name.
"Your humble servant is here!" Zhou Xu quickly stood up and walked in front of him.
"Take this body away and see if we can find out anything." Emperor Chengxuan ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Xu immediately retreated with the corpse.
Emperor Chengxuan held little Shuangbao in his arms and sat directly on the dragon throne.
Little Shuangbao's eyes were wet, and his little head was buried in his arms, still a little frightened.
"Shuangbao, don't be afraid, everything will be fine." Emperor Chengxuan felt guilty and angry.
How could someone dare to assassinate someone during a nice Mid-Autumn Festival dinner?
He brought a pot of poisoned wine, but no one noticed!
"Your Majesty, it was all my fault for failing to do my duty and oversight, which caused Shuangbao to almost get into trouble." The Queen immediately apologized.
She also looked guilty.
I never would have thought that she had every dish and every pot of wine tested for poison throughout the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
However, such a mistake still happened!
Emperor Chengxuan glanced at the Queen, before he could say anything.
Su Fei took the opportunity to add insult to injury and said:
"That's right, Queen, you were responsible for planning the entire Mid-Autumn Festival dinner from beginning to end. How could you allow such a dangerous thing to happen?
"Do you know that Shuangbao is the only heir in the War God's Mansion?
"If something happens to her, how will you explain to my eldest brother's heroic spirit?"
The queen glanced at Concubine Su, but did not make any excuses for herself.
"Today's accident is indeed my responsibility. Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the punishment." She said immediately.
"Accept the punishment? How are you going to accept the punishment for such a big thing? Unless you hand over the Phoenix Seal..." Su Fei continued to mutter in dissatisfaction.
“That’s enough!”
Emperor Cheng Xuan interrupted her with a headache, "Shuangbao is still frightened. Do you have to keep arguing about this issue here now? The Queen didn't mean it."
His words were obviously in favor of the queen.
Because he was sure that the queen would not do such a thing.
After being scolded, Concubine Su immediately shut up.
Su Ruyi suddenly spoke timidly, "Father, Ruyi just discovered that the palace maid who intended to poison Sister Shuangbao seems to be the one who was slapped by Ruyi before."
When she said this, she attracted everyone's attention.
"At that time, Ruyi didn't know that this seat belonged to Sister Shuangbao. Thinking that she had always sat in that seat at previous palace banquets, she sat over there.
“I didn’t expect that I would be driven away by this palace maid.
“She also said some nasty things and humiliated Ruyi.
"Ruyi couldn't stand it, so she slapped her and tried to drive her away.
“But later, Father and Sister Shuangbao came… Thinking about it now, Ruyi feels scared. If Ruyi had been sitting in this position at that time, would she have been the one who drank the poisonous fruit wine?
"However, Ruyi feels a little strange. How did Sister Shuangbao know that the wine glass was poisonous?
"If it were Ruyi, she would definitely not be able to find out."
When she said this, everyone remembered it as well.
Yes, how did Shuangbao know that there was poison in the wine glass?
Everyone's puzzled eyes fell on Xiao Shuangbao.
"Could it be that this little princess is simply asking someone to harm herself? Otherwise, how could a three-year-old like her possibly know that the wine glass was poisoned?"
Someone in the crowd suddenly said something suspicious.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Luo looked directly at Xiao Shuangbao and said, "Princess Lingfu, how did you know the wine glass was poisoned?"
Little Shuangbao's long eyelashes, still stained with tears, flickered.
She raised her head from Emperor Cheng Xuan's arms and said listlessly, "It was the little fur ball that Shuang Bao raised who told Shuang Bao."
"Little ball of fur? What little ball of fur?" Concubine Luo frowned.
