The emperor also looked puzzled.
Yan Bao put down the chicken soup and wrote: Poisonous.
The emperor looked unhappy: "What's going on? How come the person who tested the poison is fine?"
Yan Bao pointed at the mushroom inside. It was a poisonous mushroom. It was definitely not a mushroom that Yan Bao picked. Someone put it there intentionally, hoping that people would vomit and have diarrhea after eating it, and that it would harm others.
The emperor ate it, beat the villain all day, lost the emperor's face, and almost got punished by the emperor.
The emperor knew that Yan Bao would not act easily, and if he did, it was basically true.
The emperor asked, "Do you know who poisoned me?"
Yan Bao nodded.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
Yan Bao dipped his fingertips in water and wrote two words: Rui Fei.
The emperor didn't expect it was her, so he called the imperial physician to ask, only to find out that the poisonous mushrooms were indeed from the south, and eating them would cause hallucinations.
Eating too much can be fatal.
The emperor took Yan Bao to Concubine Rui's palace.
Concubine Rui had a bad feeling.
The emperor had poisoned chicken soup brought to Concubine Rui: "It seems that the Seventh Prince is doing well in Baiyue. He even got poisonous mushrooms to honor you, his mother. Since it is a filial gift to you, why don't you eat it?"
"Your Majesty has been wronged!" Concubine Rui refused to admit it.
The emperor sneered: "Will you eat it or will the Seventh Prince eat it? It's your choice."
Concubine Rui's face was not good: "Your Majesty, your concubine..."
The emperor was impatient: "I didn't come here to see you lying, Concubine Rui, don't test my patience."
Concubine Rui didn't expect that even though she acted so secretly, she was still discovered. She glared at Yan Bao fiercely, and under Yan Bao's gloating gaze, she drank chicken soup and ate poisonous mushrooms.
Concubine Rui asked the emperor, "How did the emperor know this?"
Yan Bao rolled his eyes: [Your Majesty doesn't know, but I do. I have a golden finger, but it's a pity that you don't know.]
"Anyone who wants to harm me will ultimately suffer the consequences. Today, I don't even want to use the substitute talisman. I just want you, Concubine Rui, to see yourself clearly. Isn't it better to live a good life? Why do you have to seek death?"
The emperor snorted coldly, "You don't deserve to know. Concubine Rui poisoned me and was demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace. The Seventh Prince was kicked out of the royal family and reduced to a commoner, and is forbidden to enter the capital for the rest of his life."
Concubine Rui's face changed drastically. "Your Majesty, please spare me. This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with the Seventh Prince. He is innocent. Please, Your Majesty, spare him for the sake of him being your own flesh and blood."
The emperor taunted, "Concubine Rui, do you really think I don't know what the Seventh Prince is doing over there? He's planning a rebellion!"
"I want to see, without his status as a prince, who would still be willing to follow him in rebellion."
Yan Bao raised an eyebrow: "So Your Majesty, you already knew this. That's good. You knew to keep an eye on the Seventh Prince's every move, so I don't have to tell him anymore. That's great."
