The queen's angry shout awakened everyone who was already on the verge of losing control.

Everyone came back to their senses from the air filled with a strange fragrance, looked at themselves, and were sweating profusely from the stunning dance. This was impossible.

Looking at the people around, even the empress who was sitting on the phoenix chair with her eyes wide open, their faces were all completely red. However, compared to the others who were still immersed in the strange fragrance and unable to extricate themselves from the blushing faces, the red on the empress's face was obviously more of anger.

From the Queen's expression, some of the older people among the crowd had apparently understood what had happened.

Among them, from the concubines to the ladies, each and every one of them is a shrewd person. How could they not understand what goes on in the concubines' chambers?

However, they have always believed that some palace secret drugs have been banned. So, if this incident had not actually happened today, they would not believe anything they said. Today, someone actually dared to use this palace banned drug in front of the Queen at the Qixi Festival banquet?

It's simply a fancy way of committing suicide.

He looked at the two girls from the Prime Minister's Mansion on the stage again, and everyone sighed. Then, the sighs in their eyes were replaced by pride.

Originally, among the young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, one was a beauty famous throughout the capital, and she was also the niece of the Empress, with a noble status. Among these noble ladies present, Luo Xueyao could be considered a strong competitor.

The other one is the concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although she is not well-known, she is deeply favored by the Empress and has made great contributions to the Emperor. Based on her status and the degree of favor she is favored by, although she cannot compare with the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is very likely that she will marry into a wealthy family.

These two people undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the noble ladies present, but they actually dared to use drugs at the banquet. Today, they don’t have to worry about whether these two people will pose any threat to them.

All they have to do is wait and watch the show, and wait and see how the Empress will sacrifice her own relatives for the sake of justice.

"Kneel down before me."

The roar revealed the pressure of a superior. Huang Hui was naturally strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This anger made even Luo Xueyao, who usually thought she was closer to her aunt, tremble her shoulders and look at the queen sitting on the phoenix chair with concern.

Today, they had originally planned to let Luo Xuening dance alone. When Luo Xuening danced, the fragrance from her body would emit, and soon, people would realize what Luo Xuening had done today.

However, due to Luo Xue Ning's sudden change of words, Luo Xueyao, who could have been a bystander, now has to dance with Luo Xue Ning and be punished together with Luo Xue Ning.

Thinking about it, Luo Xueyao felt that she was very wronged.

Luo Xueyao stood there trembling with fear, not understanding how things would turn out. She looked back at her mother in the crowd, only to see her nod slightly.

Signaling Luo Xueyao not to act rashly, Luo Xueyao then knelt down towards the phoenix chair, bowing her body slightly to show her respect for the empress.

"How dare you, in the hall, you used medicine without authorization. Do you two know what crime you have committed?"

If you listen carefully, you will find that there is some tolerance in the Queen's words. However, Luo Xueyao was so jealous that she could not figure out the deeper meaning of the Queen's words.

By the time she figured it out, she had already made a big mistake.

"My queen, I don't know anything. I really don't know what medicine there is."

Luo Xueyao lowered her head heavily, her body trembling slightly, and explained hurriedly.

On the other hand, Luo Xuening beside Luo Xueyao was still kneeling on the ground, upright, but there was a calmness in her eyes. Comparing these two, Luo Xueyao pales in comparison.

The Queen glanced coldly at the two sisters Luo Xueyao and Luo Xuening and said, "I want to ask you, where does the strange fragrance in this hall come from?"

Luo Xueyao hurriedly distanced herself from the matter. Under the pressure from the empress, her little cleverness was of no use.

"My lady, I didn't know that the strange fragrance I smelled came from my sister's body."

As soon as these words fell, the eldest lady frowned immediately and said, "Yao'er, how can you say that? Even if this strange fragrance came from your sister, how can you say it so openly?"

Even if this action can harm Luo Xuening, you will also be charged with a crime.

The eldest lady understood that in this situation, Luo Xueyao was implicated for no reason, so it was no wonder that she was so reckless.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady just glanced at her maid and asked her to quickly deal with the handkerchief that Luo Xueyao had just used to wipe Luo Xue Ning's sweat.

"Luo Xue Ning, your sister said that you have a strange fragrance on your body. How do you explain this?"

The Queen coldly turned her gaze away from Luo Xueyao. That farewell look made Luo Xueyao feel cold in her heart. It was obviously the fragrance coming from Luo Xuening. Her Majesty, why did you look at her like that?

Was it disappointment, or did he just give up on her?

Luo Xueyao had no time to think about the Queen's attitude at this moment. All she could hear was Luo Xuening's clear and faint voice.

"Your Majesty, I have no idea where this strange fragrance comes from. However, I, like everyone else, have smelled the strange fragrance in this palace. In order to find out the source of this strange fragrance, I have requested that the imperial physician come to diagnose me so that I can prove my innocence."

Luo Xue Ning did not bite Luo Xue Yao casually, although, under her design, the strange fragrance on Luo Xue Yao's body was already unavoidable.

However, in front of so many people, she naturally had to find some "evidence" to prove her innocence. She couldn't be like that fool Luo Xueyao and find it on her own.

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will give you this opportunity to see if you two are innocent."

The admiration in the Queen's eyes flashed away. No wonder her son would specially send an invitation for Luo Xuening. Now it seems that this woman is still quite courageous.

Even in such an unfavorable situation, she still thought of using the imperial physician's judgment to prove her innocence.

"Come here, call the imperial physician."

There is a public banquet today, and because of some special circumstances, the imperial physician is on standby at all times. Following the Queen's order, the imperial physician is on the way.

Naturally, the situation of the female members of the family in the main hall also reached the ears of the emperor.

Normally, the emperor would not personally intervene in such matters. However, this time, it involved banned drugs in the palace. Banned drugs were openly used at the Qixi Festival banquet held in the palace. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?

The emperor's face immediately turned pale. At this moment, Prime Minister Luo was in front of the emperor. He swayed and the emperor's face immediately turned cold.

"Is the Prime Minister drunk? Since you can't drink much, you don't need to attend future palace banquets."

Upon hearing these words suddenly, the wine glass in Prime Minister Luo Chen's hand almost became unstable and fell down. Fortunately, Long Moxun moved his palm and caught the Prime Minister's wine glass.

The Prime Minister has just been abandoned by the Emperor, and now he has lost his manners in front of him again. Is he seeking his own death?
