Baili Tang tilted the bottom of the teacup and was about to drink it when he suddenly felt a severe headache. Two large blood-red words flashed in his mind -
idiot!!!
The database in his head rarely reminds him, so why would he call him a "fool"?
Is there poison in this tea?
So, he decided to test her again and asked Baili Keying, "Ying'er, father wants to ask you, where did you break your mother's jewels?"
Baili Keying pointed to the dressing table beside her: "It's there!"
"Oh. Does your mother usually put jewelry on the dressing table?"
"No. Ying'er saw some sparkling jewelry today, so she stepped on a small stool to play with it, but the stool was unstable..."
Baili Tang finally figured out why Baili Keying broke the jewelry!
"My dear, you made this tea, didn't you? It smells so good!"
Xiang, why don't you drink it quickly? Concubine Lin has already guessed why Baili Tang asked Ying'er this question - the dog emperor is really suspicious! Now, what should I do?
"Is it cold? I'd better ask someone to make a pot of fresh tea!"
"That's not the question. I just realized that since Ying'er is offering tea, it's only right that you, your mother, should drink first. After all, Ying'er is apologizing to you. Ying'er, don't you think your mother should drink first?"
"Yes!" What opinions can a five-year-old child have? After hearing Baili Tang's words, she handed the tea to Concubine Lin.
"Your Majesty, aren't you thirsty? You should drink first!"
"I suddenly don't feel thirsty anymore! You should drink it, my beloved concubine! You have raised Ying'er so well, and you have made great contributions! So, you should drink this cup of tea. Is there any poison in this tea?"
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? How could the tea be poisonous? Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare..." Although she said she didn't dare, she took the tea from Baili Keying's hand and suddenly rushed to Baili Tang.
This woman must be crazy. She actually wants to pour this cup of poisoned tea into Baili Tang's mouth!
"Someone come!" Baili Tang knocked over the tea with one hand and immediately hid a few meters away from her! Unexpectedly, this crazy woman suddenly took out a hairpin from her hair and stabbed at him!
The thorns can't hurt Baili Tang, and she doesn't know martial arts!
The person who rushed in the fastest was not the guard, but Eunuch Yang. With one palm, he knocked Concubine Lin away!
The latter groaned in pain, knowing she was doomed. She took out a pill, swallowed it, and said fiercely, "Baili Tang, I curse you to die a miserable death! Just wait for the destruction of your country! Hahahaha...!" Then she died...
Baili Keying was already frightened to tears!!
The mother just now was so strange...
"Mother... Mother... Father, what happened to Mother?"
Baili Tang: It's a headache... Also, Queen Mother Lin, have you resorted to such tactics? Are you completely ignoring it?
Even if Concubine Lin hated him, she couldn't possibly go crazy and want to kill him, because Baili Tang hadn't pushed her to the brink of death. Instead, it was the Lin family...
Fine, I'll play along and cripple you with one powerful move—If you want to repel foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the country!
"Eunuch Yang, I'm very unhappy right now. Who does that woman care about the most?"
Eunuch Yang was suppressing his rage. Fortunately, His Majesty did not make any mistakes, otherwise he would have already rushed to the Cining Palace!
At this moment, in the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Lin was eating an orange peeled by a palace maid and asked casually:
"Failed?"
"Failed."
"That shouldn't be the case. She didn't confess... Anyway, he should be able to guess who it is. Mammy, what do you think I should do next? We've already fallen out!"
"Send Yang Changji away from him and assassinate him!"
"That old man should have gone with the late emperor long ago..."
Queen Mother Lin sent her niece to poison Baili Tang, but as usual, she made no preparations. She couldn't make it too obvious. If Baili Tang died suddenly, she would do everything she could to prevent the war and preserve the Lin family's strength.
Her method was indeed brilliant, but unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's. She never expected that Baili Tang had something in his mind that even he couldn't explain...
Soon, the news that Concubine Lin was planning to murder Baili Tang spread throughout the palace, and then outside the palace... The whole country was shocked!!!
When Liang Qiuyu heard the news, she immediately dropped her work and ran over. Meng Fang, Zhang Dongzheng, and the others also immediately entered the palace!
In the hearts of these people, what they care about is no longer the safety of "Your Majesty", but the safety of Baili Tang. They care more about the safety of Baili Tang as a person!
In less than an hour, all those who should and shouldn't have come arrived.
Baili Tang said to them: "I'm fine! Everyone, follow me to the Cining Palace! We must get an explanation for this matter!" Eunuch Yang should have succeeded by now, right?
You want to murder me, why don't I try some tricks to frame you?
As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Dowager Lin arrived!
This time, she didn't pretend to be friendly: "Baili Tang, what do you want to ask me for? Do you think I ordered her to do this?..."
"It was you who ordered it! My people all saw it. She went to your place yesterday and met someone!" Baili Tang said, pointing at Concubine Lin!
"Who? She met more than one person yesterday! Is everyone a suspect?" Empress Dowager Lin sneered.
"She! This vicious old woman!" Baili Tang pointed at the old nanny beside Empress Dowager Lin and said, "She was the one who gave her the poison! How dare you say you have nothing to do with this?"
"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something! Baili Tang, I know you don't like me, but I am the late emperor after all..."
"Don't bring up my father! If we can find this poison in her room..."
"Ridiculous! Even if we find the poison, it doesn't necessarily belong to us! You might as well just chop off my head..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go search first!"
In such a short time, the imperial doctors in the palace were unable to detect what the poison was!
Empress Dowager Lin sneered in her heart, "The old nanny is very cautious in her work, you will definitely not find anything."
Of course you can’t find it, because the things that are about to be found are not yours!
Half an hour later, a rag doll was found in a sealed cabinet. Not only was Baili Tang's birth date written on it, but it was also riddled with needles—witchcraft!
One of the most common scenes in harem dramas!
"Mother, how do I treat you on a daily basis? Why do you treat me like this?" Baili Tang sneered.
"False accusation! You're accusing me!!" Queen Mother Lin roared, unable to remain calm. "You think you can punish me with just a thing like this? Do you still have any respect for the law?"
"Plop!" The old nanny suddenly knelt down, "This rag doll belongs to this old slave... The Queen Mother has no idea about this..." She was going to take all the blame on herself!
Baili Tang also knew that he couldn't do anything to Queen Mother Lin with just a rag doll, but he could use it to provoke her: "Come here, beat this old vicious woman to death with a stick!!"
