Concubine Qin did not catch Lin Zhan in the act. She was afraid that after she went to complain, Lin Zhan would use sweet words to turn the tables again, so this time she wanted to find something that would make it impossible for Lin Zhan to turn the tables.
When she thought of this, Concubine Qin set her eyes on Si Xueyi. "Xueyi, I'm sorry to have to trouble you during this period. No matter what happens, you should pretend to please Lin Zan until you have irrefutable evidence against her, and then come to me."
Hearing her aunt say this, Si Xueyi had no choice but to grit her teeth and nod in agreement.
The next day, Lin Zan brought a lot of food to Si Xueyi under the pretext of apologizing. This time, Si Xueyi was much more cautious and did not dare to pick up her chopsticks.
But in a blink of an eye, Si Xueyi remembered what Concubine Qin told her last night. If Lin Zan really had poisoned the food, then all problems could be solved.
When she thought of this, Si Xueyi gritted her teeth and ate the food that Lin Zhan brought her with a fearless look on her face.
But something strange happened, nothing strange happened, Si Xueyi's eyes flashed with confusion, while Lin Zhan said with a smile. "Don't worry, Miss Si, I'm not such a bad person, I won't joke with you today."
After saying that, Lin Zan turned and left, but Si Xueyi looked like she didn't believe her. She ate everything she brought her, but there was still nothing unusual about her body.
And in the next few days, Lin Zhan always found various reasons to bring all kinds of strange food and tonic soup to Si Xueyi.
Si Xueyi accepted all these things, and even secretly hoped that Lin Zhan would poison her.
But for several days, Si Xueyi's body didn't have any problems. Until one day, she suddenly realized that could it be that Lin Zan gave her a chronic poison?
Thinking of this, Si Xueyi hurried to Concubine Qin's Mingde Palace and told Concubine Qin about this matter.
In order to confirm, Concubine Qin secretly called her confidant from the Imperial Hospital to take Si Xueyi's pulse, and got an exciting news, that is, there was indeed poison in Si Xueyi's body.
"That's great. This time, I will make sure that little bitch Lin Zan has no way to defend herself." The joy on Concubine Qin's face was beyond words. She quickly pulled Si Xueyi to the emperor's study.
At this moment, the emperor was discussing matters with Jun Beiqi. Upon learning that Concubine Qin was coming to see him, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand and summoned her in.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me and save my poor niece!" Concubine Qin came in crying and knelt in front of the emperor with Si Xueyi.
The emperor frowned when he saw this scene, and said solemnly to the two people below, "Princess Qin, what happened?"
"Your Majesty, Xueyi has been feeling unwell these days. I was worried about her, so I asked the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to take her pulse. However, I didn't expect that Xueyi was poisoned, Your Majesty!" Concubine Qin said loudly, her eyes red and her voice full of resentment.
When the emperor heard her words, his brows knitted tightly and he shouted loudly, "What? Poisoning actually happened in the harem. How audacious!"
As luck would have it, at this moment Si Xueyi suddenly covered her stomach, her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground in pain.
"Xueyi, what's wrong with you?" When Concubine Qin saw this scene, her face became even more panicked, and she hugged Si Xueyi excitedly.
The emperor also stood up in surprise and immediately summoned the imperial physician to treat Si Xueyi. The news also spread to the harem, and even Liu Qiuchan came to Concubine Qin's Mingde Palace.
The concubines in all palaces also knew that Si Xueyi had been poisoned. The emperor sat there with a gloomy face, and the concubines did not dare to whisper to each other.
Because everyone knows that the emperor hates the competition for favor among concubines in the harem the most, especially things like poisoning others, which he has zero tolerance for.
Soon, the imperial physician came to the conclusion that Si Xueyi was indeed poisoned, but he could not find out what the poison was.
Concubine Qin seized this opportunity and threw herself at the emperor's feet, tears streaming down her cheeks as she sobbed, "Your Majesty, my poor niece was harmed by Lin Zhan."
"These past few days, Lin Zhan has been forcing my niece to eat some inexplicable things, and before, Lin Zhan had poisoned my niece. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me!"
After the words fell, Liu Qiuchan's brows immediately frowned. Just as she was about to say something, the emperor waved his hand and asked someone to bring Lin Zhan over.
Lin Zhan walked in with her short legs. The moment she saw the emperor, a happy smile appeared on her face. She wanted to come over and act coquettishly with the emperor.
But this time, the emperor gently pushed Lin Zhan away, looked at her seriously and said, "Lin Zhan, I want to ask you, do you know that Si Xueyi was poisoned?"
After the words fell, Lin Zhan's pale face froze for a moment, then shook her head. "Poisoned? How could Sister Xue Yi be poisoned?"
"Lin Zan, stop pretending in front of the emperor. Didn't you feed Xueyi all those messy things these days, which caused her to be poisoned?" Concubine Qin said gritting her teeth, as if she wanted to vent her anger for her niece.
Lin Zhan seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, his body swayed slightly, and he said in confusion, "What? Sister Xueyi was poisoned because of the food I gave her. But that's impossible. The food I gave her was all for nourishing her body. How could she be poisoned?"
"Nonsense! If it is food for nourishing the body, then why did all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau diagnose Xue Yi as being poisoned? You are obviously lying." Concubine Qin said sharply.
Even the emperor became suspicious of Lin Zhan and looked at her in disbelief. Surrounded by everyone's questioning gazes, Lin Zhan's little face tightened, her eyes turned red, and she actually burst into tears.
The fierce crying instantly resounded throughout the palace, and Lin Zhan said with tears in his eyes, "I really didn't harm Sister Xueyi. I just gave her some medicinal food to nourish her body. I didn't poison her at all."
It was also the first time that the emperor saw Lin Zhan cry so sadly and miserably, and his heart, which had just hardened, softened in an instant.
Jun Beiqi, who was standing next to him, saw Lin Zhan crying like this, and his face darkened. He bowed and said to the emperor, "Father, there must be something else behind this matter. I am willing to help you solve the problem and find out the truth."
At this moment, in the back hall, Si Xueyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt her stomach rumbling, as if she was having an orgasm.
