With such a major incident, it was impossible for the Emperor and Empress Dowager to remain indifferent.
Xiao Chenyi entered first, followed by the Empress Dowager and a group of palace servants.
Everyone immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager."
"Consort Chun, what exactly happened?" Xiao Chenyi asked Yao Lan urgently, ignoring the people kneeling on the ground.
Putting aside others, when Xiao Chen heard that Su Ruojin had been poisoned, he felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart. He immediately put down his memorial and rushed to Juchi.
However, halfway there, Xiao Chenyi slowed down and turned towards Cixi Palace, eventually arriving with the Empress Dowager.
With no Empress in the palace now, such a major event has naturally drawn the attention of the Empress Dowager.
Kneeling on the ground, Yao Lan looked terrified and recounted what had happened with red eyes. "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I don't know why these things happened. Commander Su has already gone to investigate. I beg Your Majesty and Empress Dowager to do justice for me."
Yao Lan's words were tantamount to absolving herself of any responsibility, and even implied that someone wanted to use this to frame her.
"Wu Tidian, what's the situation now?" Empress Dowager Wei asked Wu Tidian.
"Your Majesty, thanks to the Princess's treatment, Lady Wang's poison has been neutralized, and she is now fine. Miss Dong has just vomited out the poison, and after taking a few more doses of detoxifying medicine, she will also be alright. The Princess was also poisoned, and now..." Wu Tidian stopped there.
When Su Ruojin arrived, not only was Yao Lan shocked, but Wu Tidian and Physician Li were also taken aback.
Based on the experience of both Wu Tidian and Li Taiyi, the princess's poison was incurable, but they never expected her to recover so quickly.
Wu Tidian even began to suspect that the princess was some kind of deity reincarnated, otherwise how could she have found a solution to the epidemic so quickly?
In addition, the princess herself has been poisoned by some unknown poison, and she can be cured just like that. Who but a god could do that?
If the Empress Dowager asks him about the situation, he can tell her about Madam Wang and Miss Dong, but he truly doesn't know about the Princess Consort's current situation.
"How is the Princess Consort?" Empress Dowager Wei asked anxiously.
Although she disliked Su Ruojin, a woman she couldn't control, and even considered that Su Ruojin might as well be dead so that the Su family and the Regent's Palace could sever ties, she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to Su Ruojin now.
Putting aside the fact that the explosives that could rival the Northern Li were developed by Su Ruojin, Xiao Yanchu and Su Yunfeng are currently fighting against the Northern Li on the border. If they knew that Su Ruojin had an accident in the palace, I wonder how Empress Dowager Wei would react.
While Su Yunfeng might be able to suppress him with the righteousness of the nation, Empress Dowager Wei was not so sure she could suppress Xiao Yanchu.
If Xiao Yanchu ignores the border and returns directly to the capital, Bei Li will seize the opportunity to launch another attack, and Da Chu may not be able to withstand it.
The Mo Han that was just taken back might fall into the hands of Bei Li again.
More importantly, Su Ruojin's accident happened in the palace. If Xiao Yanchu blames them for everything, then the Great Chu will be in chaos.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine," Su Ruojin said, slowly walking out from behind the lattice door.
When the Emperor and Empress Dowager came in earlier, because there were quite a few people, Su Ruojin moved to the side behind a partition door, which conveniently blocked the Emperor and Empress Dowager's view.
Seeing that Su Ruojin looked much like an ordinary person, Xiao Chenyi and Empress Dowager Wei both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that the Princess is alright." Empress Dowager Wei's words came from the bottom of her heart this time.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Xiao Chenyi angrily asked, "How exactly did this happen? Consort Chun, you held a palace banquet, how could three people be poisoned?"
Yao Lan was still kneeling on the ground, shaking her head and crying, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know."
"Where is Commander Su?" Seeing that Yao Lan was in such a state, Xiao Chenyi decided to check on Su Ziyang instead.
"Your Majesty, Commander Su is already investigating this matter," Li Yuansheng hurriedly replied.
