Chapter 437 It was a trap from the beginning!
After these words were spoken, everyone nodded silently.
Indeed, everyone knows it.
The coughing sound lingered in the palace day and night for nearly a month.
The palace servants were particularly impressed.
After all, they had never seen anyone cough for so long.
The most important thing is that the location of Bai Wutong can be determined by the sound of coughing.
She had indeed been in Fengyi Palace all the time and had never gone out.
Although Fengyi Palace is large.
But Bai Wutong also coughs loudly.
And now that the weather is getting warmer, doors are usually open, so the sound can be heard.
Anyone passing by the gate could vaguely hear something.
Another thing is that the imperial physician went to Fengyi Palace every day, and each time he went there was for this extremely severe cough.
Su Zhaoyi no longer cared about so many things at this time. She had sorted out everything in her mind. She had to expose Bai Wutong's true face and let everyone know what a vicious woman she was!
Even the emperor could do this!
She must be executed!
Otherwise, the Darong Kingdom will sooner or later be destroyed in the hands of this vicious woman!
"Maybe you were just pretending to cough! Your purpose was to confuse everyone!"
Bai Wutong sneered, "Can you fake a cough? Come on, show me how to fake it!"
An imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Su Zhaoyi, what you said is wrong. There are many kinds of coughs. If it is fake, it is impossible to be so normal. Moreover, if a person who does not cough pretends to cough day and night for a month, then the throat is useless. But the Queen Mother's throat is still very good!"
The other imperial doctors spoke up one after another.
"Yes, we are all doctors. If the Queen Mother pretends to cough, how can she hide it from us?"
"The Queen Mother is indeed coughing every day. I even suspect that she has whooping cough..."
Su Zhaoyi looked at the crowd, her eyes becoming even more terrified, "No... She must be pretending!"
Bai Wutong was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her. "Su Zhaoyi, stop trying to blame me and change the subject. I'm asking you what you added to the tonic soup! If you don't tell me, I don't mind sending you to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation!"
At this time, almost everyone stood on Bai Wutong's side.
Those pairs of eyes, falling on her, were like evil spirits that wanted to eat people!
She couldn't stop shaking, her voice trembling, "I've already told the doctor before, there's nothing wrong with the tonic soup!"
No... Now she herself couldn't be sure whether it was the tonic soup that was the problem... In order to keep it secret and prevent others from vying for her favor, especially Bai Wutong, she had deliberately concealed it and used another recipe instead.
When the imperial physician said there was no problem, he was referring to the fake prescription she used to deceive outsiders, not the tonic soup that was actually meant for the emperor to eat!
After all, it was a folk remedy. Just because her father had no problems after taking it before, it didn't mean that it would be okay for the emperor to take it.
Especially since the emperor had some serious health problems before...
Su Zhaoyi's teeth were chattering. What should she do?
She felt her vision go dark and she really wished she would just pass out.
But at this moment, Bai Wutong pinched her chin again.
A light and refreshing fragrance entered my nasal cavity, and my dizziness immediately improved a lot.
"If it was you who really attacked the emperor, then you would not have told the truth!" Bai Wutong looked at Wang Decai behind him, "Eunuch Wang, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call all the palace maids in Su Zhaoyi's palace over and interrogate them one by one, especially those who serve Su Zhaoyi personally. Don't let them go!"
Wang Decai had calmed down at this time. No matter whether Bai Wutong did it or not, he could only keep it secret!
Because... he is also the one who serves the emperor personally!
He even handed over the cups of Biluochun personally!
If the emperor really died because of Bai Wutong, then he is the executioner, and even more so the knife in Bai Wutong's hand!
The blade stabbed in again and again...
No matter what, he can't clear himself!
Now he can only obey Bai Wutong's orders to protect himself and his only bloodline Ke Xin.
Wang Decai took one last look at Su Zhaoyi.
As for her, she is the one who takes the blame.
I'm afraid she still doesn't know that she has been plotted against for a long time!
Bai Wutong is really scary... I really don't know when she started planning all this!
A moment later.
All the palace maids of Su Zhaoyi came.
They knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, and seeing so many people, they almost hung their heads to the ground, not daring to breathe.
Bai Wutong was sitting on the chair opposite, with the bound Su Zhaoyi at his feet.
Not only that, even her mouth was blocked to prevent her from passing information to these palace servants.
Bai Wutong picked up the teacup and took a look at the tea inside.
It’s not Biluochun, but Longjing.
She took a sip and put it aside, "Let's get started."
The guards stepped forward and began to interrogate them one by one.
At first, the palace maids said they knew nothing, especially Su Zhaoyi's personal maid, who insisted that the prescription was a fake.
Looking at her condition, if she wasn't tied up, she would probably have smashed her head and died in the Yangxin Palace.
Bai Wutong had no expression on his face, "Torture!"
"ah--!"
A shrill scream was heard.
Everyone in the Yangxin Palace was frightened and fell silent.
Now the emperor has been treated with acupuncture and has fallen into a coma.
Then the queen is the only one who has the final say in the entire palace.
As for the Queen Mother, she is still in Yongshou Palace. She is just a useless old lady with an empty title but no real power.
Bai Wutong glanced at her, and a palace maid immediately stepped forward to cover her mouth, "Slut, you are shouting so loudly, are you afraid that you won't disturb the emperor? Just nod your head when you want to speak. Don't think you can hold out for long, the palace has many ways to make you live a life worse than death! As long as you don't speak, you will suffer!"
The torture continued.
Bai Wutong glanced around, "Don't say that I am cruel. If any of you know, tell me now and I will give you a chance to live and drive you out of the palace. But if you dare not report it, you will die when I torture you. Think carefully. Do you want to live or die here! For the emperor, I don't mind bloodbathing in the Yangxin Palace!"
The palace maids were trembling with fear.
Finally, one of them couldn't hold on any longer and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I have this to say! The prescription that Concubine Su told the imperial physician before was a fake!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"I don't know what the real recipe is, but I have seen the herbs used to make tonic soup, and some of them are definitely not on the recipe Su Zhaoyi mentioned!"
Bai Wutong raised the corners of her mouth, but quickly stopped smiling. "Okay, I knew it. This Su Zhaoyi must have done something. Nothing happened to the emperor for so many years, but why did something go wrong when she served him closely? Someone, continue to interrogate Su Zhaoyi!"
Su Zhaoyi took out the handkerchief and shook her head desperately, "No, it's not like that!"
"Your maid has confessed, and you still dare to say no?"
"You must have bribed this maid!"
The maid continued to kowtow, "I have definitely not been bribed by the Queen! If you don't believe me, you can go to Lanxin Pavilion. There are medicinal residues buried by the Queen. She is afraid that others will know, so she is always very careful!"
